AGAINST THE CHURCH SALOON.
Pastor Wilson Denounces DIR.
RainsfOrd's Plan of Meeting
the Liquor Traffic.

The Rev. John A. B. Wilson when he
was stationed at North East in this
county, made things lively on the TEN
perance question. When he became
presiding elder down in Delaware he
made Rome howl, and now that he has
been transferred to wider field in New
York city he has lost nothing of his
innate aggressiveness. On Sunday night
last he delivered an address in the
Eighteenth Street NJ ethodist Church on
Review of Dr. Rainsford's Saloon
Theory During his sermon he referred
to DR.. Rainsfold as "this Christian
minister"
Mr.. Wilson said that some time ago
he wrote to DR.. Rainsford offering to
meet him on any platform and discuss
the question but the Doctor declined.
The speaker declared he was surprised
to find Clergyman who was ready to
temporiza with the liquor traffic. He
reviewed at length Dr. Rainsford's argu-
ments in favor of a church saloon and
ucolSleu tHdG uoO one Oh Unem cOuiu
stand an analysis.
This Christian minister" said MR.
Wilson, proposes to gid the evil by
fitting up saloons where bartenders will
be Christian gentlemen wearing
Plccadilly collars and white ties. Then
we should see these Christian gentlemen
standing on corners and invitin1 rho
population around to saloons where they
could get their full of good pure liquor,
but do you think the present saloon
keepers will submit to this method of
running their business? On no. You'll
see them standing in the street, huge
diamonds glistening 10 their expansive
shirt fronts, calling to the passers by
Step this way for the saloon where you
can get your full, aud when you're full
you'll find diVans to lie on and We'll take
you home in cab and no one'll be the
wiser.
Il attended a recent meeting at which
Dr. Rainslord spoke in favor OF his plan
and | witnessed sad spectacle indeed
when beheld several clergmen there
smilingly applauding his falIacies. The
next saddest spectacle was when man
with a jag stood up and aid:-Ive got
jag" but I'm with you every time
Doctor.t DR.. Rainsford's is not the way
to deal with the liquor traffic. We must
stamp it out entirely.

From present indications the Bohemia
bridge will be completed and open for

time of it's completion depends upon the

an early date. A force of nine men are
now engaged upon the work under the
superintendence of Mr.. Levi E. Patterson

Dear SRI would like to ask a little

to Prof. Coslett's ability as teacher of
music. | have often received letters and
occasionally do yet from people who
desire to know whether he is an efficient
teaener or not, and would kindly inform
the people of Cecil county, that l have
had an opportunity to know the ability
of other teachers as we'll as Prof. Cos
let's, and can truthfnly say that have
never seen or met his equal. If Prof
CoSlett is not master of his profession
there ISN'T any, for he is the only man
or person that | ever met with that

one of the Oldest aud best composers and

The Cecil Schools at Chicago.

| Mr.. George Biddle examiner of the
public schools for this county was IL
Elkton on Tuesday preparing AID pack
| ing for transmission to Chicago the
| specimens of maps and free hand draw
ing, prepared by pupils of the public
schools of the county for exhibition at
the Columbian Exposion at Chicago.
/ These exhibits will be placed in tue
Mary land building, and form part OF
the state school exhibit. Many of the
specimens examined on Tuesday were
very creditable, aud the only regret is
that the Cecil county exhibit is not
larger than it promises TO be, and
the contributions to the exhibit came
from SO small a number of the schools OF
the county. Among the specimens
shown at the School Commissioners
Office, were several exceptionally excel
ent maps, one especially Of Cecil county
on rollers, and number of creditaole
specimens of free hand drawing, and
penmanshlp by pupils of North East
school. We would have BEEN glad to
have published the names OF the pupils
contributing them, but few of them how
ever showed the names of the youthful
artists. Cecil F. Davis exhibited
creditable water color drawing of a
Mexican horseman, as we'll as a sheet of
German text letters. Good specimens of
penmanship were contributed by Maggie
Leishmau, George W. Hamilton, Lizzie
C. Murray, Annie X. Beatty and Mabel
Ewing.
From the Perryville school of which
Miss Martha Bddle is teacher, several
very creditable exhibits were shown,
noticeably map of Africa by Eleanor
Little, au excellentlY drawn and colored
design of a locomotive engine BY Thomas
B. Kane lad of IA years. another by
Thomas Calvert, and other good speci-
mems of pencil work by Howard Calvert,
H. Willis Cooling, Ralph Campbell, and
Clinton Kane.
From the Leeds school of which Miss
Helen McCauly is teacher, q very notice
ably excellent set of exhibits was con-
tributed, which embruced descriptive
botanical drawings with accompying
text, by Sarah NJ. Settle, Mabel T.
Marrett and Carrie K. Booth, with
creditable specimens of free hand draw
ing by Leroy Ga'laher, as we'll as credit
able exhibits of psrmanship, and draw
ings In physiology.

Mr.. EDITOR.
If the tax payers of Elkton desire to
control their town government, they
may console themselves with the refiec-
ton that they are not likely to do it
until there is a property qualification
for voters. Ii this idea is offensive to
the honest poor man, or to the political
bosses who run the town, then amend
the charter requiring every man to pay
at least s1.00 per year town tax to enable
him to yot9 at the town election. This
would appeal to the conscience of every
man worthy to vote who desired a volce
in the selection of commissioners to
spend the tax payers money. This
provision in the charter would either
bring 5000, additional revenue to the
town, or it would exclude from voting
two hundred non tax paying, able bodied
male citizens, white and colored. Either
result would be distinct gain to the
town. TAX PAYER.

The Bailiff'S Salary.
Mr.. EDITOR.

VI H. IDlIOk.
There has been much said about what
the bailiffs salary should be after the
first of May, when there will be 10 light
ing of lamps. 1 say the salary should be
reduced unless the bailiff is required to
lay pavement, work on the streets with
his men or perform some other needed
labor. Ii appointed will serve for what
upon as a just compensation for the
services l may render the Town. If
required to do police duty and super
intend work only, will expect the salary
TO be reduced at least one third.
