In Ocean Grove because the officials

the boarding house managed by Miss

This establishment has been conduc-

faith. That is to say, the boarders

scriptural notices, and before any
boarders are taken they are put
through course of questioning as to
their religious beliefs. Then there
were meetings being constantly held
for spiritual improvement and the
broadening of their creed. Besides
this. certain notices were posted
about the house representing stations
for prayers. The cottage was we'll
patronized by religious extremists of
all sorts. and their conduct in and
about the place was so eccentric as to
attract notice to the place. 1t is un-

Farmers Institute,

The great work that the Pennsyl.
vania State Board of Agriculture is
doing in the way of Farmers Insti.
tutes deserves our attention in West.
ern Maryland. The Institutes are
being held in all parts of the state.
The subjects considered are of inter.
est to every member of the farmers
family, including the ladies and chill.
dren. The Institute is the farmers
college, and the more efficiently it
can be conducted the better.
Lack of confidence in each other,
which comes from lack of business
training, is the great reason why
formers are not more generally Or
ganiZed into business associations.
The very term business does not
seem to apply to farming. but 1t
should. Business. as at present man
aged, has got the start of the farmer.
America owes much of her greatness
to the great men who were raised on
her farms. and this debt can only be
repaid by giving fostering care to
agriculture, by protecting it equally
with manufacturing, by relieving it
from unjust taxation. by making the
school advantages in the country
equal to the best in our cities and
towns. If we make the homes of
our farmers cheerful and comfortable
with abundant nourishment for both
body and mind, and make agricul.
ture prosperous occupation, that
shall afford reasonable competence
and good education, just 80 much

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN.-We ask
the consideration of all friends of edu.
cation In Garrett county for the Nor.
NAL school soon to he open here. The
teachers, Messrs. Enlow and Lee, are
natives of Garrett county and well
known as teachers Of experience.
They come as we'll ECU ipped for their
work as any we have ever had in
Garrett county, without exception.
The fact that two teachers will be in
charge will be an evidence of due
attention being paid all who attend.
and will prevent the complaints
heretofore frequently made when the
school was large. Board can be Sc.
cured at two dollars and a-half per
week in town and somewhat lower
out of town. The following parties.
and perhaps others, have signified a
willingness to take hoarders Mrs.
Barbara Reese. John M. Richter,
John P. Spiker, Daniel Hinebaugh.
Mrs. Mary SpindIer. and Frederick
Englehart. Quite number of 9th.
ers will doubtless open their houses,
having taken boarders in former
seasons. though we have not heard
definitely. The session Is to last ten
weeks and from indications the school
will be large.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bittinger died at

1889, aged II years, months and 6
days, She was married in June.
1881, to Mr.. Jonathan Bittinger, the
fruit of which marriage resulted in
a family of twelve children. three of
whom preceded her into the eternal
world. Her husband and nine chill.
dren still survive her. She spent all
her married years on the farm at
Bittinger where she died. Shortly
after she was married to Mr.. Bit.
tinuer. she was received by Rev.
Phaler into the Lutheran church on
profession of faith in Christ. of which
she continued faithful member up
TO the time of her death. She was
sick quite awhile. and bore her attic.

fortitude, but longed "to be absent

Lord" She was a devoted wife, a
good mother and neighbor, and was
loved and respected bv all who knew
her. She died in the full hope of a
glorious resurrection. A large con.

spare no one. He proposes to have
a clean administration, no matter
where he strikes.
There have been grave apprehen-
sions in the minds of the Republican
statesmen of Congress that the dema-
gogy of the small fry politicians in
using the laudabIe objects of the pen
sion law for selfish partisan purposes
will lead to serious consequences. 1t
was admitted by Senator Allison,
when last in Washington, that the
re.ratings, statutory increase and
projected enlargement of the scope of
the pension laws already threatened
to consume the surplus. and might
prevent revision of the tariff for the
reduction of revenue on the line of
production. The prospect of tariff
revision is as much for increasing
the duties on some articles, thus re-
ducing revenue, as for lowering
where American competition affords
sufficient protection. The Senator
seemed fearful that these re-ratings
and other enlargement of pension
expenditures might necessitate al
increase of revenue which would ne
cessitate laying new taxes to meet
the expenses of the Government on
account of enormous pension ex-
penses. Such necessity, forced ell
tirely by Republican legislation.
would make the pensions to soldiers
boomerang to slay the party by the
very measure proposed to maintain
its support by the majority.
A member of the administration
intimated that the pension question
was one which was having very SER
ious consideration from the Presi-
dent, and the result of the perlimi-
nary investigation would undoubt-
eddy lead to further inquiry.
The development in the pension
re.rating case of Senator Henderson.
son, of Nebraska. which has been
made salient point in the opening
proceedings of the pension inquiry,
is likely to lead to some interesting
details. 1t appears that the Senator
in 1865 was granted pension of SIS
a month for half disability, Since
that time he has been examined sey-
cral times, but no report has been
made ayowing an increased disabil-
ity, despite reputed pains in his back
and legs. Last June, however, his
case was called for by Commissioner
Tanners private secretary, Squires. a
member of the Board of Review, and
by him was turned over to the medi'
cal referee and a few days after the
Nebraska Senator, who is one of the
most active members of the upper
branch of Congress, was granted a
pension of $50 month for life to
date from discharge. which gave him
arrearages aggregating $4,000. The
whole transaction consumed six days.
The parties to this transaction have
been dismissed. A medical exami-
nation of the Senator will be ordered
and If his condition does not indicate
total disability proceedings will be
instituted for refunding of the
money .-PhiladeLphia Inquirer Rep. J
