MR5. HARPER :

Mrs. HARPER
j have been i subscriber to the
valuable old INTELLIGENCE for
twenty years and patron of schools
about twelve years and never before
was charged with Crying to run
the school," and l say This is false.
| am not trying to run the school
here. That article headed "Facts"
contains one correct sentence
did tell the teac , er he did not have
sense enough to teach school. The
beginning of all this trouble was
about q composition it is one Of
the rules of the school for the schol-
ars to write compositions every Fri
day and read them to the telcher
and then give them to him for cor
rection. MY two little boys had
compositions and when they read
them the teacher got mad and told
the boys they did not write them
and wanted to know who helped
them. The boys replied "they all
at home helped a little" and Bur
sic said he was going to say "Pap
didn't have any thing to do with
them" but the teacher seemed 90
mad that he did not say any thing.
So the teacher put the competitions
in his pocket replying al will see
your pap and man," And when
he came at me saying "wbat did
you write them competitions for -
/ saw no was mad and 1 flew in q
passion. If he had passed me with
out saying anything there would
have been nothing said. AS to
chopping wood there arc but four
boys in the school large enough to
chop wood. One Of the trustees
suggested 10 the teacher to have
the boys bring their axes and all
join in cutting up the pile Of wood /;
90 my little boys took an Ak and
borrowed SIR. Henderson's saw and
they all went to work, the teacher
sawed one stick, split q few sticks
and piled up what was cut and then
quit. And so the boys quit too.
Didn't all the boys refuse to chop ?

An exchange says "Whatever
ones opinion may be of his politi-
cal acts, everyone must acknowl.
edge that the death of James G..
Blaine removes one Of the brainiest
statesmen of his time. OF late
years he had differed so often with
his party that it seems a stretch OF
the Imagination to call him a re.
publican. To both of the leading
measures OF the present admins
tration-the Mckinley tariff bill
and the force bill--he was unaIter
ably opposed, and he never shrank
from making his opposition known;
and he is generally credited with
having prevented this government
making a humiliating spectacle OF
itself by declaring war rpon Chill.
IL was not his politics, bat his
staunch Americanism that gave TO
Blaine his fame, fame of which

The social organisation in Rom.
ney known as the "Spinsters. -
with Miss Annie Tabb as their
president and Miss Lou McCarty
az their secretary, is indeed quite a
feature. It has been quite an inn
petus In social way, tending to
stir up aud infusc new life into the
old town. They convened at the
hospltable home of Mrs. Miranda
Wilson on tho evening OF the l4th
inst, (Valsntine's Day. and those
present witnessed return of We
olden times. Lamp lights and gas
jets were at discount, and brass
candlesticks aud tallowdips of our
fathers took their place. The old
fashioned shutters were also brought
into play.
The whole affair was UNIQUE.
The menu was most heartily APP
proved by the guests. The even
ing was interspersed with music
and play. Every young bachelor
upon this pIeasurab'e occasion
singled ont for himself a Valentine
and every fellow seemed TO con-
graduate himself that hs had got
ten the pick o. the flock. The
chocolate, chicken salad &c. was
evidently prepared by a.epts.
These who had been schooIei OIL
trained in the art by the old folk
who in the past have participated
in similar celebrations. Success tc
this organization. May it be long
lived.

Wilson's Tuesday night of last

call themselves the "Spinsters"

their skill and taste IN arran ging
and perfecting their plan for a
nights enjoyment for their friends.
The corations, the lights, the
supper, the games were all in ac-
cord with olden times and the
whole affair was a success. So de-
lighted were the participants that
all fingered until the wee small

THE DEACON.

The First Baptist church of Charleston,
s. c., is the oldest of its denomination in
the south. 1t was organized in ice by the
Rev. William Screven.
The highest church towers are those of
the Cathedral of Cologne, 511 feet. This
church was begun over 600 years ago and
completed very recently.
Ibid you ever" said cne preacher to an
other, "stand at the door after your sermon
and listen to what the people said about it
as they passed outf" Replied he, IT did
once"-a pause and sigh-"but I'll never
DO it againl"
The Rev. David Fennessy, for many years
president of st. Mary's college, Louisville,
one of the most noted Catholic educational
institutions of the south, has been called to
Rome to become vicar general of the Order
of Resurrectionists.
The Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Sprague and the
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce, all ordained min

THE MAIDEN FAIR.

1t isn't always nervousness that makes q
girl bite her lips. Sometimes-very often,
in fact-she does it to give them nice
color.
Nobody has ever yet discovered a girl
with a small waist who didn't think she
could have it smaller without feeling un-
comfortable.
Some girls take first class happiness In
having burned finger, or cold sore, or
sprained ankle, because 1t is so comforting
to receive sympathy.
When a-girl is i'll, she says that she'd
give everything she owns to be well, and
when she is well she scolds and frets be
cause she can have only one new hat.
When you see girl with her hair all
mussed aP you must not think she hasn't
combed 1t. 1t takes her many weary mo
ments to fix it in that tangled fashion.
Whenever one girl tells another girl
about her troubles with her dressmaker,
the other girl has tale of woe twice as long
and twice as narrowing to tell in return.
It's very easy matter to tell whether
girl Is expecting man or girl caller II
. man is coming, she looks in a mirror ev-
cry few moments. IL it's girl she doesn't.

List Tuesday The News made mention
OF the fact that there was collision off
Watch Hill and that an unknown
schooner was sunk. Late reports
shows that the sunken schooner was
the Lou sa Monette. Captain Ferguson,
and was loaded with 1900 barrels Of
cement, 200 Of which were for Man
chester g. Hudson, and the remainder
for Olney aud Payne brothers Of Paw
tucket. The other schooner was the
Viola, and was bound for New York with
lnmber. The Monette. sank in less than
ten minutes after she was struck.
and the Oscar barely escaped.
They were taken by the Viola to Mount
Misery. The Monette was practically a
new boat, having beeu built in 1886 at
Patchogue l.. !. How the acci-
dent occurred has not been
learned, but seamen that were
in that vicinity at the time state that
there was not clond to be seen, and the
only cause that can be assigned is that
the watches on both boats were asleep.
