A fine point was put OH tue criticism OF

asked tnat Mr. Emery IN his forthcoming

particulars which, IL has been said, he here
tofore reported us a lump sum and which

REGARDED AS REFLECTION.
The restrictive measures proposes by DR..
Peck were resented by members OF the
board as reflections on the board and Its

II is likely that Mr. Eniery's name will

Decline of Natural Gas.

The use of natural gas has, ac-
cording to the report of Special
Agent Weeks, been gradually de-
clining since its grand squirt in
1892. The only state in which its
use for manufacturing purposes in
creased III 1898 was Indiana. While
the supply is far below the demand
in other large gas fields, it is decla-
red to be well sustained in Indiana.
The reported number of feet Of pipe
laid increased during the year to
II, 500, 657 in Pennsylvania, $780,
373 In Indiana and 1,404,096 in
Ohio. The largest production of
the gas in Pennsylvania $19,282, :
375 in 1888, since which time it
has fallen to IS, 4S8,O00. Ohio
showed the largest falling off in
production in 1892, the amonnt
was $2,l26, 600, while in 1898 it
went down to 81 100000. The to-
tai value of the natural gas con-
sumed in the country in 1898 was
S14, 346, $50, against $14, 800, 814 in
1888. The greatest value of the
gas consumed in any one year was
1922, 619,S75 in 1883. From that
time there has been a general de-
cline with aggregate Of about 49,
100000 less for the last year than
for 1888. Natural gas is now found
in commercial quantities outside OF
the three states named in New
York, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri,
West Virginia, Texas, Arkansas,
New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee and

The School OF Morals.

Every father and mother who
reads The REPUBLICAN should Pc
ruse these lines from the New York
Adrertiser::
"'Ihe home is the one and the
only school Of morals. If fathers
and mothers instead Of associating
with their children and their chill
dren's visitors. surrender the par
lors to them no good can follow. If
the father loves his club more than
his home, EVIL must result. If the
young are permitted to read what
they please and to go unquestioned
places of amusement, moral dis
ease must ensue. The woman is
the mistress of the home, the home
is the school of morality, and in
this crusade for morality we should
begin at the cause, the home, and
leave nude pictures and other i'm
moral effects to perish from public
sight with the greater purity and
care Of the family circle

is a very reasonable and safe way
out of the mud, and one that would
be right and just, because there are
good many of our people who pay
no tax and who have children to
educate, yet have the same benefits
and protection under the law as
the people who do paw tax, and
these very people are the ones that
voted against the bonds, and it is
nothing more than right that they
should be made to pay something
toward keeping up the schools.
And with the fund which 5his tax
would create we could run our
schools much longer without any
trouble. We would like to hear
from others on this subject, and as
one of the "bosses" has said the
people are in the saddle, | say let
us stay in until we resurrect "My

bossism in which she has been

less surface water is apt to flow into
the cellar the subsoil water will
drain away through the soil with
sufficient rapidity to avoid damage
to the ice. Otherwise there should
be drain laid under the wall all
around the building to cut off the
water. This should be of 3-lnch
tiles, and as well as cutting off the
soil water it will carry off that which
collects from the melting of the ice.
Ii the walls Of an icehouse are Of
brick or stone, there should be
wooden lining inside, leaving an air
space of six inches, or this may be
filled in with sawdust, in which case
no sawdust will be needed about
the ice except on the top of it and
under it, as the walls will be suffi-
GENTLY non-conductiYe of heat to
preserve the ice during the summer
Otherwise at least six inches of dry
sawdust will be needed, or tan bark
or other porous matter, as dry
leaves we'll packed down or the
chaff from the clover threshing,
which is excellent, or, as a last re-
sort, cut straw or wheat, or other
chaff. :, A foot Of either Of these
fshoula be laid on the bottom under
''srio Toh. The air space is more eff
cient in proportion to its tightness.
Hence, if lined inside with tarred
paper and the wall tarrcd over or
plastered and then tarred, the in
tervenlng dead air space will be
about as good as the ordinary filed
in space that will be sure to gather
moisture in time.

The School Question.

To the Editor of the Republican.
There has been a great deal said
about the schools, the manner Of
running them, what ought to be
done, and so on, but there has been
no practicable way suggested by
which our schools are to be kept
open. Now as / understand it, the
reason that we had to close our
schools was because we had not the
money to keep them open, the
school board having wisely or I'M
wisely used the money to pay for
the school house in Oakland, the
law especially providing that the
board shall not go in debt. That
was the only course left for them
to pursue after having contracted
for the building in anticipation of
the bond bill passing at the late
election. Now it IS a question
whether or not the board complied
with the law, or whether not they
did not rob Peter to pay Paul, or
in other words, is it worth the
money to have a school house at
the cost Of keeping our children
away from school, or whether it is
not another case of the small boy
spending all of his money for a
purse and then not have anything
to put into 1T. We needed school
house, there is no doubt about that
part, but was that the way to get it?
| haye no doubt but that the board
did the best they knew how, and as
Josh Billings says, sit is no use to
cry over split milk, but gather up
the pail and go for the next cow"
Now for the next COW, viz: The
remedy, l would suggest Mr.. Edi-
tor that people see that men are
nominated and elected next fall
who will 60 to Annapolis and make
and remodel the laws for the good
Of the people and not for the few,
as has always been the case in this
state. Give US law taxing every
male citizen over p years of age
not less than 81 per head, or poll
tax, and let this tax be turned over
to the school board for school pur-
poses. Next give us law by which
all men who hold offices Of profit or
trust in tho state shall be elected by
the people, SO that all public serv-
ants shall be responsible to the peo-
pie only, and let us have some of
United States in Maryland as well
as other states. Then we can put
men in office who are deserving and
competent, and not simply because
he belongs to the family and
must be cared for. This, l think,

How to Store Ice.

AS ice is one-tenth less in weight
than water, and as, when packed
in an ice-house as close as possible,
there is some space lost between the
blocks, it is safe to estimate the
measure of it as so cubic feet to the
ton. Thus for so tons the house
should have $500 cubic feet of
space for the ice, not counting the
spaces around it for the sawdust or
other protective covering needed.I
Lining of wood underground,
will be quickly rotted by the COP
tinued moisture and the oxidizi4g
effect of the porous earth. Bridk
or stone should be used if at all
possible.
The bottom must be dry. If tile
soil is sandy or gravely, no special
drainage will be necessary, and I'm
