LECTURE ON

Prof. Powell Delivers an
Interesting Address at
Friends School.

In the Friends School last evening Pro-
fessor G. Harold Powell delivered an in
terssting lecture on "Inseot Life" He
prefaced the illustrated lecture by a gen.
ernl talk. In the course Of his remarks he
observed:

JEFFRIES-S HAEkEY,

The return of the Jeffres- Sharkev
pictures to the Opera House on Fri
day and Saturday nights an Sat
urday afternoon will no doubt tend
to revive the discussion as TO the
merits OF the decision in the great
hstlc encounter between Jetfries
and Sharkey. There is one thing
certain, and that is that these are
the only real pictures and they
give the entire Is rounds. After
they have been seen, people will be
able to decide for themselves
whether Referee Sider's decision
was a robbery or not. The pic
lures are pronounced the best pro-
auctions ever made. They are ex.
ceedingly clear: there is none of
that sudden jumping from one posi-
ton to another, and the figures and
details are depicted with fidelity.

Tuesday last was the dav on
which payment was to begin to the
school teachers and janltors, but
City Council failed 10 pass the
monthly appropriation of the Board
of Public Education. The finances
of the Board did not allow of the
payment OF the monthly bills and
for that reason secretary and treas
urer of the Board OF Education Ben
Jamin Bartram had to withhold
nearly two thirds of the checks.
Some of the teachers and ianitors
received their checks before the
money in bank to the credit of the
Board ran out after which payment
OF the balance of the checks had to
cease until CITY Council made the
proper appropriation to meet the
various checks. So far as is
known this is the second time the
teachers IN the public schools we're
ever compelled to wait on account
OF lack of funds to paw them.
Chairman Kane of the finance com.
mittee, said that the money could
not be paid tonight. The order
will be drawn on next Thursday
evening. The other time when the
teachers were compelled to wait
was June last. They then waited
two weeks. An ordinance will be
passed by City Council to borrow
sufficient money to tide them over
the present fiscal year.

THE HEART OF MARYLAND.

1t would seem that the very men
ton of the name of David Belasco' $
play, 1.-The Heart OF Maryland,
possessed a charm to arouse the
enthusiasm and compel the admira-
tlcn OF the playgoIng public all the
world over. wherever its presence
is announced ter performance. Now
in it's fourth SESSION, and its story
and characters, its wonderfully
contrasted episodes Of love and war
upon which it's stirring events are
based, it is being played in theatre
after theatre to crowded audience.
Its visit at the Opera House Monday
night and the evidence that it will
be welcomed by one OF the largest
and most notable audience of the
present season is plainly apparent
in the already numerous demand
for seats in advance.

THURSDAY, ARpiL. II, 1000.

THE Sun, editorially, SAYS: ais
it not apropos to remark at this
time that there is only one Republic
can political organization-the Un-
ion Republican party-in this
State? II we remember rightly the
Anti-Addicks State Convention ex-
tended the authority OF its old
State committee Tor three weeks.
That period has elapsed, and the
committees life appears to have
ended by legal limitation. The
new State committee has not or
ganized and, consequently has no
legal existence. The Anti-Addicks
party is without head. We sug-
gest that this is a case for the coro-
ner. A headless body is a corpse
and corpse necessitates funeral.
The coroner ought to inquire into
this and tell the public whether this
has been a case OF suicide, murder,
or of death from natural causes.
After the inquest funeral.
We do not think such articles
help the union plan any. Better
say nothing than be stirring updls-
cord all the time.
