LovelesS, The Grocer :
Comment.

An article in the last issue OF
Fthe Woythangto,e Herald relative to
the retiring of two Bishops by the
General Conference of the NJ. E.
church now in session, is, to say
the least, unkind ie not slanderous,
missrepresenting the Methodist
church as we'll as rejecting upon
all the Christian churches in their
treatment Of all their ministerial
members, for if one church will
kick out noneffective servant to
die, uncared for. it will naturally
be supposed that other denomina-
tions will do the same, they all be-
ing termed christians alike. But
the fact is they are not in any
sense turned out, much less KICK
ed out. AS rule our bishops
have often died in the harness
from overwork, and because Of
this it has been deemed more con.
sistent and only christian to retire
them while yet in usual health on
good salaries. =
Besides this they are considered
tn he non.effective because their
mental vigor failing, which is
the usual and natural results of
old age, and anyone who knows
the great weight of responsibility
resting upon them as bishops, and
the serious consequences that re-
suit from the lack of Judgment OF
foresight on their part, often
wronging many and hazarding the
interests of the church will not
question the advlsability Of the
course taken by the conference.
Moreover they have been retired
with the most kindly intent on the
part Of the conference, themselves
acknowledging the same. They
have been retired with ample sup
port, besides this without doubt
either of them have sufficient
amount of means to keep them
through old age, for they have had
good salaries ranging from $4,000
to $1,000 annually, according to
their location, and necessary local
and travelling expenses. -
More than this, they are retired
according to a long standing rule
of the church to which all the
bishops of Methodism have sub.
scribed. :.
Now whether this article is an
editorial written without due con-
sideration of the matter, or the
production of another with the
view to injure this branch of the
christian church, I know not, but
in either case it is unbecoming so
necessary to public servant as
a newspaper, and calls for an
apology or explanation. -.

t>Teachers Association.


The teachers Of the county met
at the high school building here,
Saturday., May 23rd, at 1:30p. m.
Miss Graves, county superintend-
ent was present and presided in
her usual pleasant and efficient
manner. b, .,.a3$ ,
The attendance was the. best of
any meeting during the present
school year, and no doubt would
have been still larger had not the
rain of the morning prevented
some from distant parts of the
county from being present
The progam as previously pub
lished was taken up in order,
and the exercises were excellent
and very interesting and, suggest
i've. A paper was presented by
Miss Bedford, Of Rushmore on the
benefit of RHETORICAL exercises.
Theft usefulness; place, time and
manne esEof assigning parts, were
each stated in definite, practica
manner which met the hearty en-
dorsement of all present. Papers
by Miss Hyland on "Essentials in
assinging and preparing reading
lesson" and by Prof. Kiehle on
"Current history" each seemed to
contain the best thoughts on their
respective subjects presented in
the most clear and definite man
ner. They received the closest at
tention andexcited favorable and
pleasant dincussion. The sugges-
tions relative to reading were very
practical and based on fthe actual
experience of the teacher who read
the paper: Prof. Kiehle gave sew
eral fundamental reasons for the
brief study of current history, it's
place and time, with excellent sug
gestions as to how to interest stud
ents in such matters.
Instrumental music by Miss
Shattuck gave a pleasing variety
to tile program and was listened to
with pleasure by all.
Numerous young people, pre-
sumably high school students who
had perhaps come in to rehearse,
frequently opened the door OF the
assembly add after taking good
look at the pedagogues present
smiled in a surprised manner and
retired.
Miss Graves announced that
there would probably be another
meeting Of the Association in June
and adjourned the meeting at
four p. m.

They Cut Hois in tho floor at the Pol
Station

Aney Sut 6OiD III tho NipoA ~ WV S'iso
Station
Five prisoners escaped from the front
corridor at the police station at about
s. SO o'clock Sunday night, but only two
succeeded in getting away William,
Wynkoop, who is wanted in Georgetown
on the charge of larceny and tramp
named Lyle. Theother three who got out
John Guyer, Thomas Wilson and John
Hooks, tramps, were found in the base
ment Of the station house, and were
takcn back to the coils.
1t is thought that several of the men
had hand in cutting the hole, and it
is likely they were at it most OF the
afternoon.
The hole through which the men let
themselves down into the cellar, was
about a foot square. 1t was cut in the
east end OF the front corridor, where
20 prisoners we're locked up at the
time. 1t was an easy matter for the
men to hide their actions on account
OF tho crowded condition OF the place.
When the men let themselves down
they ran for several avenues OF escape
in the cellar Some got out at the
rear door and one fellow was caught
Just as he was crawling up the coal
chute. Others would undoubtedly have
followed tho actions of those who went
down through the hole, but one OF
them made noise, which attracted
the attention of the officers in the sta
tion house. and wholesale delivery
was prevented
An examination showed that the
hole was easily made. The floor, which
ia not very substantial, is protected
only by thin sheet iron, which was
easily cut.

gard to the Highlands. Last June deeds

dered 10 the city, but have not been

ing to accept the streets If they were
made safe, and Mr.. Simmons took a
similar position.
Tho city engineer was instructed to
prepare profile plans for grades in the

a communication from Willard
Salisbury, vice president of the Will
mington City Railway Co., referred tc
the extension of the company 8 lines.
About year ago the company's per-
mission to lay tracks and operate on
Washington street from Delaware ave-
nue to Elliott avenue, and on du Pont
street from Fourth to Eighth, expired
by limitation. The company asked
that IL be renewed and agreed to
operate tho lines within three months
after notice was given. The directors
OF tho department, however, made an
additional provision that du Pont
street from Eighth to Delaware ave-
nue., to go upon which the company
was under no time limit, should also
be included, and that the work be com
pleted ON the whole business within six
months notice. As tho matter now
stands the railway company has agreed
to that arrangement, and the resolution
of renewal with the added provision
was adopted.
The sewer engineer is to submit esti-
mates of the cost of putting in sewer
