with Abslere against whom he had
a grievance. He also tried ito pick
quarrels with Abshere's men. but never
succeeded in provoking them TO fight.
This morning he came across Afbshere

yesterday. No wonder, for a more de-
liglhtful day could not be passed amy

Ut was something, as we'll, of de-

fully appreciated.
The idea of a public exhibition of
the works of lthe various grades in the
public schools originated with Prin-
cipal Creager who, in matters educa-
tionaIl is worker and his great pride
tn the pupils and their work is the
most predominant characteristic of
mis- nature. For twenty years he has
been an active worker i'm educational
matters, teaching i'm Iihe leading insti-
buttons OF learning in the United
States. His long association i'm thalt
line has given him a keen insight into
the needs of the school room and the
best methods of teaching tIhe pupils Ito
take pride in their learning and incu.-
eating in them THE knowledge that i'm
these days AN education is the fulnda-
mental necessity to cleave successfully
through life.

work of AnIncendinry.

Shortly after shutdown Tuesday even
ing the large barn with stables attached
and an adjacent corn-crib and stables
located on Mr.. Charles Sharp's farm
Fairfield" near Kempsville. were, to-
gether with their contents. destroyed
by fire. The barn. was filled with hay
and fodder, and The insurance upon 1t
and the adjoining stables were $500.
The corn-crib was filled with corn of
last years crop, and upon it and the
stables attached to 1t was 5000 insur-
ance.
The fire. which originated on the top
floor of the barn. was undoubtedly the
work Of an incendiary. who was well
acquainted with the premises. All the
buildings were locked and the room in
which the blaze originated could only
be entered through window, which was
open, and no stranger would have
known how to effect an entrance. The
ncendiary performed his work while
the farm hands were gathering fodder
in the fields, and during the absence of
the manager in Kempsville, who is a
most excellent man.

In connection with the visit OF the

under consideration for the future bene-
fit of the property. One of the most in
teresting of these, because it is In a state
or actual execution, is the rebuilding OF
the fiume which carries the water from
the ocean to what was formerly q fresh
water lake, back Of Princess Anne hotel,
at the Beach. The operation OF this
unique and rather remarkable piece of
engineering is we'll known to the thous-
ands who have visited the place since
its construction about four years ago

wide and eight feet deep. extending
from the ocean to the lake. At the
former end is an incline to raise the
hight to the level of the lake which is
some 10 or 10 feet above the Atlantic
ocean. Up this incline dashes the waves
from the ocean literally climbing up
the elevation by means of its own mo-
mentum. At high tide, particularly. the
operation of the flume Is almost perfect,
and at all times. sufficient water comes
over to render the lake briney.
Or late, however, the flume which was
originally built of wood, has gotten out
or repair, decaying in certain places and
leaking badly. Mr. Charles Bllyns, of
Berk!ey. now has the contract for re-
building 1t almost entirely. The new
flume will be almost wholly of brick and
cement and will be as durable as ma
sonry can make 1t, rendering perma-
nent the improved SO ntlary conditions

Viously practically stagnant pool into a
