Notice was served on all the returned
and commissioned Republican candidates
by their opponents yesterday that they
would contest the legality of their elec.

which should have been counted. Some
of the Republicans were returned elected

Communicated
A LADY'S VIEWS OF A NEEDED Or
GANIZATION.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I read with deep inter-
est your announcement that Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
would be formed here.
To those who have formerly lived in
cities where brutal deeds to animals were
severely punished by law, the sights daily
witnessed on the streets of Annapolis are
painful indeed.
A lady from Norfolk who visited here
last winter said that the contrast between
the way horses, dogs and chickens were
treated here and in Norfolk was so sick
ening that she disliked to walk the streets
here.
Within two or three weeks dog has
been hung up by the leg on the sharp
palings of an iron fence; beautiful dog
has been ''tin-canned" and his legs cut
to the bone; fine grey hound has been
terribly scalded, and a handsome fox
terrier poisoned with strychnine, the most
cruel Of all deaths.
With such record as this in less than
a month, we ought to be up and doing
before our city gets bad name. You
can at any time see in our streets heavily
loaded wagons with three or four negroes
sitting on top of the load, the whole
drawn by one skeleton Of horse.
In Washington this would mean in
slant arrest, but here we and our chill
dren are becoming callous to such pitiful
sights, so that we are being debased as
well as the poor animals. Fashion often
accomplishes more than religion and
humanity. and in all our great cities the
"smart" set have taken up the animal
question.
In some of our Southern cities the most
beautiful society girls are presidents of
the S. p. c. A. Will not Annapolis fol
low this fashion. which is nobler than
most of fashions whims We are told
in the Book of books that not a sparrow
falls to the ground without Gods notice,
and in helping his poor dumb creatures
we are serving Him. DOC TRAY.
p. ST. have not mentioned the dog
pound as do not think it deserves such
a bad name. 1t does not compare favor
ably with the dog pounds in our great
cities. but the same is true of many other
things in Annapolis. and other small
places. The present dog-catcher is a
lover OF dogs himself, and any dog will
follow him as friend.

TEACHERS CERTIFICATES.
Information From State superintend-
ent-Course of Study Sent Out.


There is much inquiry about the re-
vised law concerning teachers' certif-
Gates. The State Superintendent Of
Schools has just sent out information
to county school officers and others az
follows:
"The new institute course of study
has been prepared and mailed to the
county commissioners. This includes
outlines In algebra and literature,
subjects necessary for 8 second grade
certificate. 1t also includes outlines in
ancienshistory and elementary science,
branches required for q first grade
certificate. This revised law concern
ing certificates did not have an
emergency clause and takes effect
August 20. AS the institute closes be-
fore that date the additional branches
are not necessary for this year. They
we're put into the outline In order that
work may be done in them this year,
preparatory for next years. examina-
tions.u
Supt. Darlington further states that
many conductors of the Institutes have
notified him of their intention OF or
ganizing classes in advanced subjects
this year. Some who are already at
work in institutes report new life and
more enthusiasm on account OF the
new course. Reports from the sum-
mer schools at the University and the
Normala are to the effect that the at
tendance has more than doubled. The
best teachers in the State are tired Of
the tread-mill grinding in the three
Rs and welcome the incentive to high
er and better work. No teacher can
do excellent work trying to teach al
he knows.
