EPISCOPAL CHURCH ANNIVER.
SARY.

Medford, Mass, May s.-The members
of the Episcopal parish in the city today
celebrated the anniversary of two events
of note in the life of the parish, the semi
centennial of the organization of the par
ish and the quarter centennial of the COD
secration of the present house of worship.
In November, 1S47, the project of an
Episcopal church in Medford was first
agitated. At meeting held December
/, it was determined to make an effort to
establish q parish. Christmas eve was
selected as the time for the first service,
the Rev. Alexander Fl. Vinton, d. D.,
rector of st. Paul's church, was invited
to preach the sermon. One of the Con-
gregational churches loaned it's church
for the service.
On the evening of February Is. ls42,
seven gentlemen met in private house
and nr7anized the parish under the name
e 81 .ee church. an adjourned meeting
Geld on May z, at which a code of
laws was adopted and the parish orga-
4 cation was com pleted. -.

The Spanish feet at Cadiz is behaving
just like all the other Spanish fleets. 1t
has been for some time right on the eve
of sailing, but apparently whenever it
attempts to do SO it finds something lack
ing. Some ship expected has not arrived,
or there is lack of ammunition, or
something the matter with thesmachinery
or the engineers strike. It was just the
same with the Cape Verde fleet. For
weeks it lay at Cape Verde, just on the
point of sailing. Almost every report
said it was to sail the next day, but it
never got away until Portugal drove it
out with her neutrality proclamation
The truth probably is, as asserted by a
French officer who is familiar with the
Spanish navy, that it is in chronic con-
dition of 'unpreparedness % The fleet
at Manila was surprised and sent to the
bottom.in ascouple of hours, though it had
been known for weeks that it was likely
to be attacked by Dewey's squadron.
Spain has been SO short of money that she
has not been able to keep her navy up to
the times, and her efforts to make up the
deficiencies since the war began have
been far from successful. We may sur.
prise her fleets and compel them to fight,
as we did at Manila, but that they will
seek our ships to bring on an engagement
is extremely improbable.

Bombardments of cities by hostile fleets
or by land batteries are far less destruc-
tive than is generally supposed. The fact
is thatsthe damage they infict, except I'M
der exceptional circumstances, is so slight
as compared to their cost that good
many commanders look upon them as a
very poor investment. During the siege
of Charleston in the civil war, the city
was bombarded repeatedly, both from our
ships and land batteries, but the damage
done was comparatively trifing. One
hundred and twenty-six hui 5ings were
struck, but three-fourths OF them were
SO little damaged that they could be re-
paired without taking down any of the
outside walls, Only five persons were
killed and four wounded. The result was
so insignificant as to have no appreciable
effect in bringing about the surrender
of the city. Of course in a city like Ma
Mia where the great per cent Of the struc-
lures ara of light infiammable stuff, the
destruction by fire might be great, but
in a modern city, with good fire depart
ment, the loss would in all probability be
slight.

1t is highly improbable that the Ameri-
can feet could have met the Spanish Cape
Verde feet off Monte Christi, on the
north of San Domingo. San Domingo is
four or five hundred miles west Of Porto
Rico, and the Cape Verde fleet to be in
the position assigned it, must have sailed
by the Spanish island which in all prob
ability, 1t would not do. The American
feet might have been in that locality
yesterday morning, though the probabili-
ty is that it was further along toward
Porto Rico. 1t is barely possible that
the Cese Verde fleet, not knowing that
Admiral Sampson had sailed south, may
have sailed by Porto Rico with the inten-
ton of raiding our ships scattered along
the Cuban coast, hoping to destroy some
of them before they could be ooncen
trated, but that is extremely improbable.

DISTRICT TROUBLES

Editor TRIBUEE.-I see by an article
in the Record that Miss Schenck,
teacher in School District No. %, has
so we'll pleased the patrons Of the dis
trlct, that they haYe e%terded the
school term six weeks and raised the
teachers salary, $40 per month. Now
the truth in a nutshell is this: Mr..
SChenck is father of the teacher, also
one of the trustees; he interviewed a
number in the district bat found the
majority opposed to extending the
term of school; with the aid of one
other trustee he Te.employs his daught-
or, and at a raised slary; at present
there are bat three pupils in the school,
two being children of Mr. Geo. Watson,
who would not send them during win
ter. and would not now, only that he
has been given the work of digging a
we'll for the district under orders from
Mr.. Schenck.
The district is almost unanimously
opposed to this method of robbery of
the funds. A petition was circulated
opposing more school, the petitioners
not caring for Miss Schenck's service
further. The petition was signed by
all but two persons who had children
attending school-Mr. Cox, the third
trustee was also opposed to expanding
more money for the present term.
1t is the opinion of the majority in
the ci;trict that one man is trying to
hog the school money. We are al
sorry for the young lady and consider
her father the worst enemy she hes,
have made no assertion in the above
that cannot prove by majority OF
the district.

the 15-year-old prosecuting witness.
told story on the stand that brought
blush of shame to every person in
the court. A more shocking revela.
ton or total depravity has probably
never been related in an Idaho court
OF justice. She said she had been
raped by her father on the night of
Dec. 20, 1896, and on several previous
occasions.
The effort of the defense was to
prove IN abb and testimony was
introduced to show that Che rles J.
Baker, the defendant, was not at home
on the night of Dec. 30, 1858. The
principal witness for the defense was
Mrs. Kate Burlington, who testified
that she lived at the Baker house dur
ing December. 1896, and = part OF the
following January. She said the de-
PENDANT was not at home the night
that the crime is alleged to have been
committed and that on that night she
and Nancy Baker attended dance
and did not return home uatil about
3 o'clock ia the morning. Her te3Lt-
mony was corrOborated by several
witnesses.
Baker was brought into court Mon
day for sentence, when his attorneys
made a motion for a. rest of judgment
on the ground that the act under which
Baker was t. ed was in the same
condition as the celeb 'ated fee bill and
was therefore unconstitutional. The
attorneys presented certified copies of
he House aud Senate journals which
showed that the main bill had been
regularly passed in both houses, an
amendment changing the age of con-
sent from II TO IS years had been
tackled on it in the house where the
bill originated, or, in fact, the figure 7
had been changed to 8. Judge Sew.
art did not consider this sufficient to
invalidate the act and the motion was
OVerruled. The application of the at.
tOrneys for pOstponemsnt of the day
OF sentence until today, Feb. 18th, to
give them time to prevent motion
for a new trial was granted.

All the gold that is brought down

that they are smarter than the men

Loaded mines are only one of tire

never been used before in any gold

One man recently appeared in the

Another game which is being worked
is the gold dust and nugget scheme. In
some of the big cities bucketsful of
nuggets and gold dust are being shown
which were taken out of mines on the
"Stickem" or some other stream.
Shares are sold in the claim for trih-

going for song. There are no end of
cheap spectators who are investing
their money in these golden opportuni-

will, for a certain sum, direct you to a

John Zimmerman sheep herder in

before Judge Handy this week for
lying in wait and threatening to kill

We are informed that the testimony

that they were modified by an, eff "

During the past year several petit
tons have been presented to the City
Council asking that bridge be built
over Indian creek at Third street South.
The council evidently did not deem it a
necessity as no action was taken.
Mayor Alley has decided to submit the
question to a vote of the electors, aud
on election day a seperate ballot will
be cast TO decide whether or not a
wagon bridge across the creek should
be built.
