On Sunday morning last the side-wheel
steamer, W. W. Colt which had been used
duIing the past summer for excursions, was
discovered to be on fire. The steamer was
living in the river off 18th street wharf,
Washington, and before the alarm could he
turned in the flames had enwrapped the whole
vessel. The flames burned Until the water
line was reached. Then what was left the
old hull rocked few times and sunk to the
bottom, few burning timbers floating down
the river, Only the Waterman, James A.
Richardson, Yves aboard the vessel when the
confiagration broke out. Since The river ex-
cursions to Molly Hall were discontinued fol
the season, the boa. has not been in service
except to take the place of the Pilot Boy on
the ferry for few days while the latter was
undergoing repairs. When the ;e few days o.
service we're over the crew was dismissed and
the boat tied up. The steamer belonged t
Herbert Plass, of New York, and, it is said
was insured for SIS, 200, which will cover al
losses. The Cit was an old boat having
been built many years ago to run on Long
Island Sound Having been superseded BY
new and modern boats, she was placed on th'
line between this city and Norfolk nearly
twenty-five years ago, but was taken Off abou
the year 1910. She returned to The Poto
mac as IN excursion steamer about two year
ago, and recently ran on the ferry route be
tween this city and washingtod. = Alexandri

There is perhaps, no subject of more gen.
eral Importance than the education of the
young, and it will be therefore gratif, ing Ia
all interested in the welfare of our county to
hear of the satisfactory progress made by the
school at Bel Alton, under the superinlendance
ofMrs. VIM. NJ. Howard.
The number of pupils having largely in
creased it was found necessary to add another
room to the school building for their accom-
mediation. This has now been completed
through the Antirng eAergy of the School
Trustees adding greatly TO the comfort and
well being Of the scholars There are now
sixty-eight pupils on the school roll thirty of
whom are in the first grade-a propol ton
hitherto unprecedented in the schools of the
county.
The Trustees, Messrs. P W, Roby, c. F.
Hayden and F, H. Wills, have devoted much
time, care and labor, to promote the improve
ment and success OF the school, ard deserve
the thanks and praise OF all concerned for the
good work they have now accomplished
The satisfactory progress of the scholars is
due to the unwearying efforts of their able
eacher, Mrs. VIM. NJ. Howa.d, whose deep
terest on behalf of the school meets with
kindly consideration and due appreciation

town is to be started in the State o,
New York, says the American, in which the
ideas of Bellamys ideal community are to
be given practical experiment. 1t is under
the direction of so-styed "mode town
company, and every legislative facility has
been granted, that nothing may stand in the
way of the successful working of the plap. =
1t is to be Utopia realized, and it is hardly
necessary to add that, if successful it will be
the browning, achievement of the closing CEN
fury. But only the most sanguine of theorists
will expect, to see. the experiment triumphant
ly demonstrated. The Bellamy idea utilses
al the resources of knowledge and invention
to add to the sum of comfort and happiness,
and makes provision for every known want,
so as to satisfy ali, aud Danish poverty, with
all its attendant msseries, making all classes
in the State a harmonious aud altrusic whole
Every point has been considered every obiec-

the single exception of human nature. When
all mankind are friends and brothers, every
body wise, patriotic and passionless, then we

COlOAists in Maryland.

Mr.. YIN. McCracken writes to the Sur
from Horton, Kan. to the effect that he 4
forming colony of old soldiers to settle N
Maryland He says it is proposed to buv a
tract of good land AMI build town, and ask
to be advised where good location could be
secured on the inlets of the Chesapeake bav
where small boats may land. Though he
proposes that the settlement shall be called a
soldiers colony, others will be invited to ioin
the enterprise and all go into tue business of
truck farming. In reply we have to say tina,
in nearly every tide-water county of Mary
land there are opportunities for settlers in
families or colonies. No better plan copld no
followed by new comers than that pursued n,
:he colony from Kansas, which has lust set
tied on the Nanticoke, in Dorchester county
and which hes been reinforced by a second
contingent. They negotiated with a non
Speculative agency, through which land va.
secured TO be paid for at reasonable rates a,
long time. Then they came, and have pon.
to work to cut down trees, build houses ana
get ready for tilling the soil next spring
This plan could be pursued to ADVANTAGE in
any Of the twenty-three counties of the STATE
advantageously. There is plenty Of cbeap
land, and there is, besides, great demand
for steady and intelligent labor on farms and
at various manufacturing industries. If the
tidal marsh lands of the State were diksd
hundreds of thousands of acres of the richest
land in the world could be reclaimed If
there was comprehensive legislation and pro-
lection, many other hundreds of thousands of
acres of water could be turusd into oyster
farms, which would yield untold wealth
