ALL ABOUT HALL GAME
The Creator of Glory Quayle
Comes Here to Lecture.
FROM COTTAGE TO CASTLE
The Successful Career of a Modern
English NoveIist-His Father
Blacksmith and Lived in Croft

bles Shakespeare. Never Writes at
Desk and Uses Rossetti's Chair.

It was not until he created Glory Quayle
that Hall Caine took his largest hold on
popular favor. His success is now COM
plete and he has landed in New York a
second time TO get the greatest benefit of
it. The New York Herald says:
THE expressed purpose with which Mr.
Hall Caine, the author of The Chris
tian,' The Deemster,' and The Manx-
man. comes to America, is not to read
from his works but to lecture on the
pleasant relations which, as one result of
the war, have been established between
the United States and England. No
doubt. however, Miss Viola Aliens COM
ing production of his dramatization of
The Christian has not a little to do with
his visit which will certainly add interest
to the event.
From a crofter's cottage at Balaugh,
on the Isle of Man, to the stately Greeba
Castle, on Greeba Mountain. in the center
of the same island-that is the stride
from the worldly point of view, which
Hall Gaines literary career has enabled
him to make. If in these days of clap
trap literary successes Garely lasting
however, any one wants to prove the
value of a high, fixed purpose in literary
work, let him look. first at the crofter's
cottage, where Hall Haine passed much
of his youth, then on the castle in which
he now lives.
"Greeba Is an imposing pile on the slope
of the mountain from which il is named
1t is in the interior of the island and mid
way between Douglas and Reel. the for
mer Summer resort and landing place
of tourists, the latter quaint old fishing
town. The island being about eleven
miles broad at this point, Mr. Caine is
five and half miles from the flow of civ
iliZation on the one side and the same
distance from what is perhaps the most
characteristic of his own people on the
other.
From the high tower of Greeba Castle
Mr.. Caine has a sweeping view in all di-
rections, except over the mountain that
rises in its rear Gorse and heather and
farm land slope away toward the sea,
and the faraway view includes the Null
of Galloway.
"Greeba, with its towers, reminds one
of small Windsor Castle. 1t is beau
tiful stone structure. The absence Of
moat and portcullis and other features
incident to a fortified place suggest that
1t was built for a residence, and not to

TROUBLE OVER TEACHERS.
A School Board and Trustees Clash
About Amendments


Rockville, Nd, Sept. 1.-THE school
board of Montgomery County is confront
ed with a peculiar and trying situation.
Reports have come in from two districts
Travillah and Hunting Hill, that the
trustees of the public school at these
ees of the board to enter the school
buildings and discharge their duties, but
instead locked the doors of the school
buildings, which led ito the assistants
rooms, and instructed sthe children to go
into the principals rooms. They even
went so far as to threaten to arrest the
assistant teachers should they attempt to
enter the buildings. &
The cause of the disturbance appears to
be as follows: The trustees consulted
Prof. E. B. Prettyman, superintendent
of the State Normal School, as to who
had the power to appoint the assistant
teachers, and were informed that they
had the power of making the appointment
Upon being thus advised, the trustees of
both districts appointed Miss Hattie
Montgomery in the place of Miss Ethyl
Griffith, at Travillah,s and Miss Fannie
EiSii III lHe place OIL MISS WHlle Ndru,
at Hunting Hill, for the confirmation of
the school board, which appointments the
board refused to confirm, alleging that
the trustees had no power to make an
appointment at either one of these
schools, as there would be no vacancy
until the present incumbents resigned, or
cause was shown which would disqualify
them for the positions.
The school board has served notice up
on the trustees at both places to appear
before them on Tuesday when the entire
matter will be investigated. The pun
ishment prescribed by the code for dis
turbing teachers in the performance of
their duties is a fine of $40, or thirty
days imprisonment, or both.
