money annually to the support of the
public schools. 1t is entitled to cxer-
else the most efficient aud discrimi-
mating supervision over the expendi-
ture OF that money. II has right, aud
owes the people the duty. of ascertain
whom this public money is paid. The
State should either give nothing to the
public schools; or else take measures
to insure that the money is expended
in the employment of persons compe-
tent to do the work for which they are
paid. This work of examining and
certifcatiug teachers is the chief pur-
pose for which State Board of Edu-
cation is needed
The APPOINTMENT or A STATE SUPER
INTENDENT.
The State Superintendent is now APP
pointed directly by the Governor. The
Governor cannot be expected to make
extended investigation into the techni-
cal qualifications of candidates for that
office. He is of necessity dependent
on the advice Of others. Under the
present system there is great tempta
ton TO self-appoiu;ed candidates for
the office to manufacture that advice
and present it % the Governor in the
form ofpolitical influence aud pressure.
If We have had good superiniendents.
il is due to the good fortune of tie
State rather than to the mode of APP
poiutment.
A State Board. appointed by the
Governor for a period of years. serving
without salary, would be in position
TO elect the superintendent with much
less embarrassment from political pres
sure. and with much more thorough IN
quiry into his ability to perform salts
tactorily the duties Of the office The
men aud women who would be- fitted TO
serve on such Board would be above
the temptation TO seek positions on
the Board by political methods and
the absence Of salary would remove the
temptation Itself,

horse valued at 1925 was stolen from Mr..
Henry Sterner's stable, about one mile east

the thief went along the pike leading to Han

from Hanover. Every effort will be made TO
capture the thief. Under pile of rails were
found a rubber coat, in which were found
several pieces of stout rope.

Frustratas a Train Robbery.

DIR. Young Bond, of St. Louis, Missouri, a
brother of Ex.Judge James A. c. Bond of
Westminster, and wellknown to an lumber of
our citizens, was recently the hero in irnstrat-
ing train robbery.
The St. Louis Republic devoies much space
to description of the affair, and publishes
letter from Chief of Police Harrigan and
Chief of Fire Department Lindsay, OF that
city, recommending the presentation OF a
medal to DIR. Young II. Bond for heroic and
conspicuous bravery resulting in the capture
of James Pennock and his accomplices in
the recent robbery of the Frisco train at
Sandy Cut From the Republics descrip
ton of the affair, it appears that while on his
way for hunting trip with several compan-
ions the train was held up by band ofrobbers.
The passengers became badly frightened and
crawled behind the seats DR.. Bond, with
several others, secured two breech loading
guns and two revolvers and finding that the
passenger coach would not be attacked went
to the aid of the conductor who was endeayor-
ing to resist the effort to rob the express car,
which had been entered by the robbers. DIR.
Bond met the leader, Pennock, who had a
revolver in each hand, but secured the drop
on him, and. after ordering him to throw up
his bands, disarmed him aud placed him in
custody. The others Gho had entered the
express car we're also captured. The other
passengers in the car were paralyzed with fear
and although there were plenty of weapons
on the train there was no one TO use them
except DIR. Bond and one or two others.

abundance for Johns Hopkins Hospital

Herr Bros. carriage manufacturers of this
city, have Just completed an ambulance for
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, that for
convenience is perhaps unexcelled by any in
the country. Before beginning work Col. S.
X. Herr went to hospitals in New York.
Brooklyn, Boston and Buffalo to inspect the
ambulances in use, but did not see any that
was quite up to his idea, so he designed one.
1t is beautiful vehicle, and credit to the
manufacturers.
The inside is 6 feet inches long by feet
IL inches broad. On one side is a spring
cot, covered with leather. In front, on the
other side, is seat for an attendant, with
drawers underneath for medicines. In the
rear is the physicians seat. Between them
is seat that can be let down when necessary.
The floor is covered with lineoleum, and the
inside is upholstered in maroon colored leath
er. No cloth is used anywhere, so there will
be no danger from contagious diseases. The
glass windows on the sides and back are sta
tionary, and those in front slide up and down.
The door is wide, so as to allow the easy al
mission of patients.
Around the outside of the body is band
of basket wood, in carmine. Above the band
the body is black; below, it is olive green.
The running gear is black, stripped with red.
The ambulance has long platform springs,
and the whole vehicle is eleven feet long.
The external appearance is as beautiful as
the interior is convenient. 1T was delivered
on Monday last.
