 Glynn to His old Charge in New York? of Father McGlynn, of St. Stephens church, New York, has finally been de- cided by the restoration to him of author ity to perform his priestly functions. The settlement of the case came within the scope of the general power vested in Mgr. Satolli, the papal legate, and the deci- sion was promulgated by him at the Cath olic university, where he is staying.
 The case was formally presented to Mgr. Satolli on Wednesday last by Father Burt sell, McGlyun's friend and adviser through which resulted in the suspension of the priest and his practical communication.
 McGlynn Again . Priest.
 It had not been the intention of the papal legate to settle the case at this date, but the following statement was furnished by . representative of Mgr. Satolli:
 ITO end the many contradictory tele- grams sent out to the university for in- quiry it is thought expedient to state that at 9 p. m. Friday Dr. McGlynn was de- clared free from ecclesiastical censures and restored to the exercise of his priestly func- tions, after having satisfied the pope's leg ate on all the points in his case"
 The effect of this decision by Mgr. Satolli is limited. It enables Father McGlynn to serve as priest in any parish to which he may be assigned. A return to his old fold at St. Stephens is a subject for further con- alteration. and must be settled, the au- thorities here say, by Archbishop Corrigan, of New York

Death of Noted Slave Trader.

Capt. Timothy Meaher. a steamboat
man OF So died at Mobile, Ala, March
3. He was for many years identified with
business on the Alabama and Tombigby
Rivers in the palmiest days of Southern
steamboatin@. He was noted as the i'm
porter of the last cargo of slaves brought
to the nlted States. This was in the
spring of 1861. He chartered the schoon-
Ell Clotilde, which brought 100 negroes
and managed to spirit them into cane
brake lOG miles up stream. The news of
the importation soon got abroad and
Mealer was arrested and tried, but PROV
ed that he had made every trip ON his
own boat, the Toney, and the inference
was that he had not had time to receive
the negroes and personally superintend
the hiding Of them. He was discharged.
If convicted he would have suffered the
death penalty. The thirty negroes that
fell to his share he settled in suburb of
Mobile, where, being freed shortly after
their arrival they and their descendants
have remained. They have never asso-
ciated with other negroes, are but par
TALLY civilized, still use their native Ian
guage, and are ruled by queen of their
own choosing. They enjoy a good repu-
tation for industry and honesty, and their
colony is one of the curiosities most Gag
erly viewed by sight-seers.
Sanford Cleaves, who resides in Sears
port, was intimately acquainted with
Capt. Meaher, was with him in a schoon-
Ell in 1855, and coasted all winter between
Galveston and Mobile. Meaher was born
in Whitetield, Me. He went south at an
early age and was very successful

Ben amin Harrison Clover is one of the

He is from Kansas, and has the proud
distinction of having been married on All
Fools day A few days ago in the House
he was asked by some stranger individual
to what party he belonged ''To the new
party replied the congressman with the
agricultural family name. Tom Reed was
standing in the group at the time, and at
once proceeded to have his say upon the
matter. 1.-THE new party drawled out
the ex-speaker; do you call your party
the new party? Why, that reminds me of
the man who got married for the second
time and took for wife lady who was
well advanced in years and encountered
with several children as the result of a
previous marital union. The man told
his children that he was to bring home a
new wife the next day, and the next after
noon took his newly welded bride to his
home. His oldest son surveyed her very
critically, then said to his father, ''Did you
say that this was a new wife?' The father
replied that such was the case. well, ,
said the young critic, you got awfully
sold if you took her for a new wife, That
is just the case with calling the alliance

Mr.. Dodge on Masonry of the Past.

The local editor of the Journal has re-
ceived personal letter from Mr.. A. I. C.
Dodge, of Washington, D. c., relating to
Phoenix Lodge, which is of so much local
interest that we publish it below. Mr..
Dodge writes:
Your history Of Phoenix Lodge, read at

me with unusual interest, as it revives in
my memory the names of SO many good
citizens who were well known to me when

of the older people named, as | was born
in an adjoining town and also lived in Bel

boy of all work in the family of Capt. S.
G. Hewes who, at that time, had a store
and fish market where the NJ. c. r. r.

history of Phoenix Lodge as printed in t.

Williamson. AS | do not recall that man

who lived at that time, or subsequently
in Swanville. 1t was reported at the
time, and was suspected by Anti Masons,
that Gen. Williams was one of the alb
ductors of the Morgan referred to in your
history. Gen. Williams, it was stated,
was Royal Arch Mason. He was an Of
ticer in the war of 1872 and very influ-
entail man. Again referring to P. G. NJ.

Educational Problems.

State Superintendent of Schools Luce
many of them of a perplexing character
and evolving fine points in law. A lady
school supervisor of Maine town wrote
him recently about a case which came
under her jurisdiction. A school master
in one of the districts kept an eleven
year-old girl an hour after school for not
getting her lessons and ferruled her with
white oak ruler until her hands were
blistered The parents of the girl were
indignant and proposed to prosecute the
severe pedagogue. The lady supervisor
wanted to know what the law was. Mr..
Luce replied the law permitted corporal
punishment in the schools but it should
not be improperly OF excessively admin
istered. 1t did not make so much differ
ence what was used. whether a white oak
ruler or not, but if a teacher inflicted
such punishment as was manifestly UNI
reasonable or cruel then he was liable,
but if it was moderate and such as the
otfense warranted then the teacher should
be upheld. MI. Luce further stated that
in 90 cases out of 100 if teacher would
take a refractory pupil by the hand and
lead him or her home to the parents the
teacher would be received in an amicable
manner and given all the assistance i'll the
management of the scholar which the
father or mother were capable of.

la a paper on lighting school rooms. in
the Maine Sanitary Inspector, Dr.. James
A. Spaulding of Portland. says they can
not be too light. Any scholar should be
able to read the finest type on a dark day.
A GOOD rule is one foot of glass to five
foot Of floor area. He says, 1.-TWO Win
dow surfaces 5x10 Near together will
give more light than two windows 5X10
separated by wood work three OF four
feet wide. If masonry is needed to sup
port the wall. make it taper towards the
inside OF the room, and thus enlarge the
space in which the slight may enter"
When a schoolhouse is only one story
high, DR.. Spaulding remarks, it would be
a good idea to have the whole of the left
wall in each room one large window,
with the exception OF two OF three feet
of plastered surface at each end. and
pillars or beams not wider than twelve
inches between each pair OF windows, ac-
cOrting to the length OF the wall Light
should always come from the left but
cannot come wholly from that side rs
general thing. When the room is too wide
to be well lighted from the left alone. we
should have an additional light from the
right side. and in order to avoid cross
lights which are ''perverse, the windows
on the right side should be smaller and
higher up. Perverse light does more mis-
chief than no light at ALL
The importance of these considerations
may be inferred from Dr.. Spaulding's
statement that whereas in 1875 certain
grammar school had exhibited such and
such a percentage of short sight with i'll
lit rooms, that percentage in 1885 had de-
creased one half in the same rooms, after
enlarging the windows. Gray or blue
curtains are useful to bar out direct sun
light. They should be so arranged as to
pull both ways in pairs, and by little
ingenuity i'll this respect the direct light
can be excluded without carkening the
room at all. Ground glass in all the win
dows has been proposed as a substitute
for curtains, but it is too dazzling for the
eyes when the sun lies directly upon it.
Blinds on the inside of the window are
useful. but on the whole. curtains are the
best. The doctor says the short sighted
pupils should be given the best seats.

At the recent meeting of the kennebec
County Educational Association in Water
Vile the opening address was given by
w. }. Corthell, principal of the Gorham
Normal School upon ''English in the
Lower Grades' Mr. Corthell called at
tention to the fact that there were u, 800
900 children in the common schools of
the country, about $50 900 of whom get
into the colleges and advance into the
higher studies, hence the close attention
that should be given to English in the
lower grades. The speaker came down
heavily on the idea of there being nor
NAL trainings it is impossible to establish
a set method that shall apply to the condi-
ton of every scholar. The pupil should be
led to study and grasp the idea of the
author, he should be taught to cultivate
the method of clothing his own ideas
properly as well as approaching those
which he reads. The use of English
should be brought into connection with
every study in the common school cur
riculum.

The superintendent thinks the free text
book law has increased the attendance of
the public schools and is quite certain
that the figures in his forthcoming annual
report will show an Improvement His
idea is that the greatest benefit is derived
in cases where children have progressed
a certain distance in the schools and have
been obliged TO step ont because their
parents do not have the money to purchase
books which increase in cost the further
the pupil advances. Now the books are
free and the scholar can continue attend
ance until the education is completed, if
the cost of text books is the only consider
alton.

aries of a school district within the plan

hut several of the residents refused to pay
their portion of the tax on the ground that
the district was never legally organized as
there was no record to be found OF the
formation of the district or any bounda-

gard a certain territory as the district.
Mr.. Luce in return gave quite exhaus-

enquirer to search more diligently for
