The Hon. Thomas #. Bayard has become
more Of a public man than ever during
the last four years. His services, since his
return from England, where he ably rep.
resented the United States, have been in
demand, in making presentation speeches,
and some say presidential speeches. He
made Representation speech in Boston on
giving into the keeping of the head of
that city, the Mayaower log Then he
made a characteristic speech in New York
before the Hard Money League of that
city few evenings ago, and last night he
presented to the Baptists of our city, re.
production of the chair in which John
Bunyan sat while imprisoned, also copy
Of the writ for his arrest and fac smile
Of the first copy of Pilgrims Progress"
The presentation ceremonies took place n
the Second Baptist Church, corner Ninth
And Franklin streets.

The new Board oflEducation will meet
this Tuesday, evening and it is likely u
fight will take place, for the secretary and
treasurership of that body. There arc
some six applicants in the field who are
backing their claims with all the argu.
ments in their power. From present indi-
cations Mr.. L. B. Jones is likely to sue
coed himself. Several members of the
Board who have been spoken to about the
matter, say they do not want politics to
be taken into the Board and for that rea.
son Mr.. Jones election now Appeals prob.

citizens have selected in years to look after

made in our schools speaks volumes for
the men who have composed the Board for

to-day and it is good to let well enough

bets, representing the farmers secured
recognition from the chair at the in
PRODUCTION of the article, and began a
long and exhaustive expostulation
against the purchase of the water plant.
Mr. Tibbetts having secured the floor,
talked on and on until it seemed as
though he intended to tire out the OPP
posite faction and after a while there
came loud calls for the question.
The members of the committee who
had the matter in charge tried to show
the advantages to be gained by the
construction of a system of water
works. They claimed that The introduce
ton of the same meant a reduction of
insurance rates and a higher degree of
safety to property owners and a lot of
other things that go to make up a first
class village Improvement. Talk ran
high. Much was said, friend Tibbetts
getting in his work as often as he was
recognized by the chair and when it
came to a vote the town put itself on
record by 70 against the proposition to
40 for it and the farmers went home
jubilant. The matter will probably
come up next spring and the fight will
be hotter still.

Bombay, Aug. ia telegram from
Cherat says that sharp firing was heard
last evening, in the direction Of Fort

at Peshawar.
The women and children who have
been in the contonments at Cherat have
gone into the Murrec hills, northeast OF

There is great military activity in
India. Detachments of troops from dis
tant environments are moving north

transferring soldiers. Many officers
have been ordered to hold themselves in
readiness and Il surgeons have been re-
called from England. The Mullah lives
in the Mohamand country. inside the
Afghan border. While the attack on
Mainland was proceeding he collected
and sent tribesmcn to help the Swats.
His raid on Shabkadr was intended
as diversion in favor of the Swats
who were smarting over their failure
to capture Malakand and Chakdara.
The mad Mulahs proclamations sum-
moning the tribes to a jehad, or holy
war, were scattered broadcast through
out the Bajour, Swat, Black Noun

tricts and among the Afridis and Orak-

His missions to Constantinople, his re-
ception of the Turkish envoy, the con-
slant reminders to the people to pre-
pare for holy war, the distribution of
fantatical pamphlets, and especially his
gifts Of arms and ammunition to the
frontier tribes. have brought the Ameer
into dangerous waters, and the impress
sion here is that the Indian government
in massing troops upon the frontier is
preparing for the necessity of admins

From Winthrop and Readfield the
