REVOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY ST JOHNS
 CHURCH ON DEATH OF A. BAKER,
 At special meeting of the vestry of St Johns church held at the rectory, April 29, 1900, Rev P. G. Robinson, pre- siding, the following minutes were unanimously adopted:
 In memoriam of Alpheus G. Baker Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God In his wise Providence to take out of this world the soul of our deceased brother, and real zing the loss our parish and the community have sustained in his death, which occurred April 25, 1900, we, the rector, senior warden, and vestrymep, of said church wish to place on record thia expression of our high esteem of the life ard character of our late fellow officer and our sincere sorrow at his removal from us. Though living at Hawleyvile at some distance from this church, he ceased not to fulfil his duties as Junior Warden and Vestryman and to the serv- Ices of the church when possible and it will long be felt with increasing force when we who are now In Vestry assem- bled, shall learn what 1t is to be without his Influence and counsel and deprived Of the appreciated services he has rendered for many years, so quietly, that only by their cessation can we fully learn their worth.
 He was a worthy Churchmar, thought ful of others, and full of sympathy for the sick, the aftl ,ted and distressed. He has entered Into life in the Communion of the Holy Catholic church in the con. fidence of & certain faith and in the sure and certain hope of joyful resurrection. He now rests from his labora and in the lasting and heartfelt gratitude and re- gard of those who had the pleasure of knowing him, he has left an abiding memorial of his many virtues. While we bow to the Divine will we will seek in bis death to realize more fully the re- sponsibility resting upon us and to be quickened in our zeal for the church of our blessed Lord and Master.
 Resolved, That while we esteem 1t sad privilege to sympathize with the members of the bereaved family of our deceased brother, we would atfsctionate- ly remind them of the inestimable legacy he has bequeathed to them in the mem ory of his excellency of character and we unite lovingly, if sadly, in making this record of our affection, gratitude and respect.
 Resolved, That the foregoing minutes be spread upon the Parish Records and that the Clerk be instructed to send copy thereof to MT Bakers family and also to the Churohman and THE NEW TOWN BEE.
 Attest, H. J. Church, Clerk.

IT IS FACT.

There is no patent about the Maaury Railroad paint nor are there any secret processes. Any one having the requisite amount of capital and proper machinery can make just as good paint, provided the right disposition is there. Thls die. position is what is lacking. It has been the disposition of the John W. Masury &l Sons to always make as good an arti- cle of paint as 1t was possible to turn out, regardless of expense and 1t is due to this same disposition that it is a fact that more railroad paint is used and sold in this section of the country, where 1t is known for the last 30 years, than of any other paint.

No MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS
Because of her secret marriage in Bal.
tmOre, Mrs. Alice Wharton Core was
compelled Tuesday to resign as a
teacher in the public schools of Norfolk,
and in consequence the city will have
to defend ten suits brought by Mr.. W.
II. VeDable Mrs. Cores counsel, who
is also commemorative attorney.
Many sensational statements were con.
lained 10 the reports bearing on the case.
Superintendent OF Schools Dobie re-
ported that, hearing the rumor that
Mrs. Core was married, it being con-
irary to the School Boards policy to
employ married women as teachers, he
had investigated the matter. Mrs.
Core bad made an effort 10 preserve
the secrecy of her union, but finally
stated that, as she married Mr.. Core
largely to protect certain property iU-
terests, they had decided to live apart.
The superintendent report then goes
on to state that Mrs. Core afterward
offered to secure q divorce in order 10
reiain her connection with the public
schools to 6t herself for usefulness in
which she had spent much money. The
matter being submitted TO committee
from the School Board, il was decided
that no divorce could be obtained even
with MIR. Cores consent.
Mrs. Cores counsel addressed the
board yesterday, holding that Mrs
Cores resignation had been obtained
by coercion. The one weeks service
she rendered will form the basis OF ten
suits for breach of contract against the
city,
