Gle Sam takes up a far more serious
and farreaching task when he begins
to teach them their three RS" with
extras. The first difficulty In this mat
ter is the unreliability Of all informa-
ton on the present state of affairs
throughout the island. Ten years ago
what purported to be a census of the
country was taken, and the population
was given as SOC. 7OS. of whom over 16
per cent could neither read nor write.
At the outside there are not more
than 500 schools in the entire island.
OF which about 30 are private or re-
ligious institutions.
The common schools are divided into
superior. elementary. auxiliary and ru-
raj schools, with. as rule. one teacher
for each establishment, whose annual
salary ranges from 5000 down. For the
last dozen or so years these different
teachers have been directly under the
thumb of Spanish political manipu-
lators, and the result has been not al

FETE CHAMPETRE.
Grand Tournament and Bicy-
Gle Exhibition at the Fair
Grounds, May 3Oth.

For the benefit of st. Johns
library, in which all the citizens
of Frederick should feel deep
interest, a gala day has been ar
ranged at our Fair Grounds on
Decoration Day, May 80. By
the small bills all the features of
the day will be set forth. Every
one is cordially invited. A small
entrance fee Of twenty-five cents
will be charged. Lunch will be
served at nominal cost and ice
cream and cake, with candies and
fruits, will be found in abundance.
A splendid platform will be
erected for dancing and the Fred
erick Select Orchestra will furnish
the music. The best of order
will be strictly maintained and
no kinds of spurious liquors will
be permitted to be sold or used on
the grounds. The festivities will
close at seven O'Clock. A splendid
band from Washington, under the
charge of well known member
of the famous Marine Band, will
be in attendance. Excursion
parties will be present from Bal
timore and Washington and as
the railroads will offer excursion
rates real old Frederick county
time can be looked for by every
one. The cause should commend
itself to all. The library is open
to anyone to join; it is something
our city has needed for many
years; it is thoroughly non -sectar-
ian and should be generously
patroniZe. Let the 30th of May
be a red.letter day in old Fred
erick.

Visitors From Hagerstown

As nOunced in our last issue
a large party of Hagerstown bust
ness men arrived in Frederick on
Saturday last over the electric
railroad from Myersville and by
carriages the rest of the way,
with the purpose of inspecting
the proposed route for the con-
Meeting line between this city
and Hagerstown, as suggested
and surveyed by the Douglas
Bros, who built the Myersville
road.
Upon their arrival they were
met by several of our prominent
citizens, who, after an enjoyable
dinner at the Hotel Burgess, dis
cussed business matters with them
relating to the enterprise. After
the meeting the visitors were
shown about town and took the
cars at $50 p. m. for home, arriv-
ing there at 100 p. M, much
pleased with their days outing.
All seemed favorable to the con-
Meeting line and it is almost Ger
tain to be built within a short
time.
Those in the party were: Judge
Stake, Alex. Neill, John w.
StOnebraker, John l.. Nicodemus,
r. S. Crawford, Thos. B. South,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DISASTROUS FIRE.
Two Dwellings and Several
Other Buildings Burned at
Liberty.

A ravaging fire occurred at
Liberty, this county, on Satur-
day morning last, which destroy
ed property to the amount of
nearly $4,000.
Flames were noticed at an early
hour by Mr.. Richard Linthicum
coming from a feed store owned
by Mr.. Geo. w. Rowles. He gave
the alarm and the citizens re.
spOnded and did effective work
in keeping the fire confined to
the immediate locality.
Adjoining dwelling property
belonging to Mr.. Edwin Devilbiss
and Mrs. Norris was threatened,
but favorable wind saved them.
The property destroyed was a
general merchandise store, feed
store, tenant-house and dwelling
belonging to Mr.. Rowles, and a
dwelling and Outbuildings belong.
ing to Mrs. James Devilbiss.
The fire department of Fred
erick was called upon to send
apparatus to the scene, but no
water supply could be obtained
for the engine. The cause of the
fire cannot be learned, although
it is thought to have been Of in
cendiary origin. The local Mu
tual Fire Insurance Company had
the risk.

Miserable Streets.

The attention of the mayor and
aldermen, who would naturally
take an interest in the street
along the line Of the p. r. r., is
respectfully called to the condi.
ton of the road from Patrick to
Second streets, along the Penn,
sylvania Railroad. If we had a
street superintendent who knew
anything about his duties, it
would not be necessary to call
the attention of other authorities
to the wretched condition of our
streets. 1t is shame that the
streets are so badly cared for by
our present administration.

More Light Wanted.

1t seems that the city electric
light machinery chooses the very
darkest nights to get out of order.
Tuesday night was an example.
"Pitch Black" was daylight com
pared to it. Many persons had
occasion to be out late and exper-
fenced the discomforts of lodging
porches, tree boxes, rain and mud
puddles. 1t was not the first
time, either. There should be
some means taken to insure uni.
form illumination, especially on
nights when light is absolutely
necessary.

A most delightful meeting of
the Daughters of the American

Potts last Tuesday evening. 1t
was the final meeting before the
summer recess. The house was
beautifully decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants and
after the regular proceedings. a
vocal and instrumental program
followed.
Miss Eleanor Johnson, the
chapter Regent, called the meet
ing to order and delivered a
charming address. Other bust
ness matters were discussed. At
the end a guitar and mandolin
trio, played by Misses Louise and
Mamie Potts and Miss Dolly
Hayden, was sweetly rendered,
after which Mr.. Brosius, Prof.
