THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.
A True Statement of Affairs Prof. ]
w. Gains Views.

Prof. Jas. w. Cain, president OF the
board OF school trustees of Annapolis,
gives the following in explanation of the
crowded condition of our public school,
which speaks for itself:
In as much as various comments and
criticisms on the management of the pub
lie school have appeared recently in
the CAPITAL, it seems desirable to state,
for the benefit of those interested, the
true state of affairs.
An order of the board of trustees
prohibit the principal from receiving as
a pupil in the school the child of any
person not resident of the city, unless
there is seat for him in the grade to
which he is assigned. after all the resi-
dent children in that grade have been
seated. At the last meeting of the board
of trustees the principal reported that
this order has been rigidlY enforced.
There are, therefore, no children whose
parents reside in the city crowded out by
the children of parents who reside else
where. There are. the grades that are
not crowded, few children from other
districts; but trust there is no one who
wishes to act the dog in the manger and
have these children turned out.
The recent action of the trustees in
instructing the principal to reject all ap-
plicants in excess of the seating capacity
OF the various rooms was taken in the
interest of the pupils.
1t seemed very wrong to permit the
health and phycical development Of chill
dren to be endangered by seating two on
seat designed for the occupancy of but
one. Until more school rooms are pro-
vided and more teachers paid, children
must continne to be turned away. The
trustees have no funds for erecting build
ings or paying teachers. Such matters
are entirely under the control of the
School Commissioners. Until they take
some action, the present state of affairs
must continue.

THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Important Changes Nearly Due on the
Ohio River.
NEW DEPOTS AND STATIONS TO
BE BUILT-A B. & o. ENGINE
DISABLED - MISCELI4ANEOUS
RAILWAY NOTES AND PER-
SONALS.

The Ohio River road inside the next
two or three months expect to make
some very important changes along
their line. The improvements will be
in the form of changing many of the
depots where the business is heavy.
The first that will receive attention is
at Moundsville. There the company
has a very large business and the sta
ton is not half big enough to accom-
modate it. Realizing this fact, the
company is soon to build separate
building for the passenger department
and a new freight shed will also be
erected. At this point much transfer
is received and also given to the Bal
timore & Ohio road, and it is often
the case that the tracks of the Ohio
River are crowded and the freight can
not be handled as promptly as the
roads would like. When the new de-
pots are built the location will also be
changed, as the company has secured
a much better site TOR its passenger
station The road will also build ad-
ditional side-tracks at many places
along the line as the business de-
mands it. As soon as the weather per-
mits the changes at Moundsyllle are
scheduled to take place.

AN ISOLATED CABLE STATION.

When the cable is completed between
the Philippines and San Francisco, the
operator on Wake Island will have a
solitary enough time of it. Wake ISL
and is 1000 miles from Hawaii and
1900 miles from Guam. and is about
three miles in length. The vegetation
is scant and the island is pierced by a
sat water lagoon. There is no fresh
water obtainable. Whoever is sent
there to work the cable will not be
bothered with neighbors, but he will
not want for entertainment. He will
be on the worlds greatest highway OF
intelligence and he can talk to Frisco,
Hawaii, Guam, Manila and perhaps the
Asiatic coast, as to companion at his
side. He can neither borrow, lend nor
give credit or go in debt, injure or be
injured, circulate or hear SANDER. he
will be monarch of all he surveys from
the center all round to the sea. etc.
Once he leaves the cable station the
register of his instrument and the tick
ing of his clock he will see no life and
hear no sounds but the ear-splitting
shrek of absolute silence. The posi-
ton will have many advantages, but
it is not probable that there will be
any great rush for it.

The Sixth Anniversary Of Reliance
Lodge---A Banquet Given by Wei
come Lodge.

The past week has been of excep-
tional interest in A. o. U. w. circles,
Reliance Lodge No. is having cele-
brated, on Tuesday night, her sixth
| anniversary. The committee of ar
engagements are deserving of a great
F., deal of credit for the efficient manner
! in which they arranged matters for this
event. At the usual hour the members
began to gather in their lodge room III
the A. o. U. w. Temple. When the
lodge was calledsto order and had pro-
| ceeded to initiate new candidates, oil
which there were goodly number, il
was found that there was scarcely room
in the large and spacious hall, SO large
was the attendance.
| After the lodge exercises the entire
crowd repaired to the elegant banque,
, hall on the fourth floor, in which the
committee had prepared a sumptuous
feast consisting of all the delicacies OF
the season. And to say the members
and their friends done justice to it
would be putting it rather mildly
Brother Past Master w. o. McCluskey
delivered an address which was great
ly appreciated and enjoyed by all pres
ent.
tollowing this event on Tuesday
night, Welcome Lodge No. held a
| regular meeting on Thursday night,
which was we'll attended, the hall Dc-
ing filled to overlooking.
Brother j. t. Miller, Grand Master
Workman, and Brother c. w. Stoetzer.
Grand Overseer, were present to witness
the initiatory ceremonies. There were
a number Of candidates. and the Grand
Lodge officers expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the work.
After the lodge exercises. to the sur
prise of the members and visitors. they
were all invited to the banquet hall TO
partake of a splendid layout in the
shape of a feast prepared by the COM
mittec. 1t would be useless to say
that all present did justice to it. Broth
er r. L. Frazier. Deputy Past Grand
Master Workman, acted as toastmaster
in his witty and original manner. The
responses were numerous and eloquent.
The browning event of the evening
was response to q toast by Brother
Past Grand Master Workman w. O..
McCluskey. This, in the opinion of the
members present. was Brother McClus-
keys masterpiece. He dwelt quite ex-
tensively on fraternity and the good de-
rived from fraternal organizations in
the community, which was done in a
very convincing and eloquent manner.
The upper ferry has been thoroughly
overhauled during the freeze-up and
will begin Monday morning, February

men would have had to guard them. In
the list received all are colored except
two, but the gang are not bad looking
set. The names as registered on the
prison books are as follows: Samuel
Jones, Henry Mitchell and Paul Ryan,
5 years each, house breaking; Sprigg
