opinion as to school Appointments.

In an opinion on the law defining the
duties of the trustees of the county pub
lie schools in so far as they relate to the
appointment of teachers, Attorney-Gen-
eral Clabaugh has declared that the trus-
tees lave the right to appoint and dis
miss all the teachers, principals as well
us assistants, the appointments being
subject to confirmation by the school
boards of the respective counties. This
decision is at variance with the practice
which has obtained in the counties for
the last thirty years and with an opinion
contained in the bylaws of the State
board of education, which was printed
about fifteen years ago. Heretofore the
principals of the schools have been APP
pointed by the local trustees, subject to
confirmation by the board, and the as
sistance have been appointed by the
board direct. 1t is said that the matter
will probably be taken to the Court of
Appeals for final settlement. The Opin-
ion is in the hands of the secretary of
the State board of education and will be
submitted to the Baltimore county board
as soon us it meets.

The ChiIdran,n Cot.

A short time ago the Sabbath School
connected with the Presbyterian Church
sent contribution to the Presbyterian
Eye and Ear Hospital, at Baltimore for
the Chrildren 8 Cot of that institution.
The managers sent letter of thanks to
the Sabbath School in which several
touching incidents were related. After
telling the children they are learning
through such gifts that it is more blessed
to give than to receive, the managers
say they ''wish it were possible for every
one who has given could have an Oppor-
tunity to see some of the children whom
they are helping, perhaps to secure sight
which they have never had, at any rate
to save them from suffering" The last
recipient Of the benefit of the Children Is
Cot that the Secretary saw not many
days ago was little boy from whose
eve tumor had been removed, and al
though the eye was still bandaged, he
was bright and merry, and evidently
suffering no pain. Cases which were
especially interesting some time ago
were two little orphan sisters from an
ASYLUM. They had never seen, but be-
fore they left the Hospital they could
tell the dolls that had been given them
had on different colored dresses, and had
been taught that one was red and one
blue. "From time to time after they
left, word came that they were seeing
better and better, and that instead of
having to spend their lives in darkness
and helplessneSs, they could see the beau
tiful word around them and could care
for others as well as themselves. Surely
all must feel that it is a privilege to
have part in work which brings such
blessings to the afflicted.
Although the Hospital is largely sup
ported by Presbyterians, it is nOn-sec-
tartan institution and all are cared for
irrespective of creeds.

A large crowd congregated about the
window of the cigar store of III. Mensh,
on Main street last night. The cause
of the excitement was young cOlored
boy sitting in the window attired in a
fancy costume with false face and play
ing a game of crap with an imaginary
companion. Every little while a police
man would approach and the way the
dice and crap paraphernalia would dis
appear as well as the player, was very
realistic. The crowd was amused and

what Apples VIII Do.

A New York physician advocates eat
ing an apple just before going to bed,
and another veteran doctor declares he
owes great measure of health to the
eating of one, two or three apples at
that time-really almost his chief meal
of the day, for he is the slenderest of
eaters at all other times. He says of
the apple: at is an excellent brain
food. because it contains more phospho-
ric acid in easily digestible shape than
any other vegetable known. 1t excites
the action Of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth. This is not ALL The
apple agglutinates the surplus acids of
the stomach, helps the kidney secretions
and prevents calculus growths, while ii
obviates Indigestion, and is one of the
best preventives known of diseases OF

A Lively Blaze.

Friday afternoon last, while the sun
was running the thermometer up among

The fire originated in a large barn Of

the careless handling of matches 10y
children. Before the department ar
rived at the scene of the fire, the build
ing was too far gone to save, also one
adjoining occupied by Jacob Ness.
The heat was SO great that the resi-
dence of Lucius Tanner, on CAIRO street
was ignited, as also was the barn Of
Jim Murphy The prompt ASTON Of
the fire department soon placed these
buildings beyond danger. 1t was a very
hot fire, and the boys did excellent exc
cutiOn after arriving upon the field of
action.
