Mr.. Daniel Shamberger. the retiring assis-
! aRt-examiner, was retained in clerical posi-
| ton until August LIST.
Mr.. joseph Blair, principal of the Sparrow's
Point school, called the attention of the Board
| to the fact hat 81 500 per annum is provided
for by an AIT of the Legislature of 1896 to be
used in each county for the establishment of
manual tranng schools. He said three coun-
ties in the State had availed themselves of the
| States offer and that the people at SparrOw's
| Point would furnish building free of rent for
the use of the school if established there, and
that the school could be run on 81, 600 per an
mum. so that 500 year would be left for APP
paratus. 1t would, therefore, be of no expense
to the county.
The Board referred the matter to their coun-
sci, Mr.. James j. Lindsay, to examine the
pTOVlSlOIS vi Iu6 hCL T6l6TTGQ W NY MI DldlI,
and to report at the next meeting of the Board.
An order was passed to pay Mr.. John A.
Sheridan, builder, 81, 20 for putting man.
sard roof upon the Willow avenue school
building.
President Todd announced that s., 200 in
surance had been allowed upon the school
house and contents recently burned in the 10Th
district.
The announcement was made that the
teachers examination would be held July IS,
70 and 20 at the State Normal School, Balti-
more. All teachers who have valid second
grade certificate may take the examination in
those subjects in which they failed in trying
for first-grade certificate, provided they take
their seconc-grade certificates with them to the
examination.
Baltimore County Alms-House and Jail.
Last week Mr.. g. S. Griffith, president of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association, paid his
annual visit of inspection to the Baltimore
county alms-house and Jail. Speaking of the
trip he said:
that we visited. The sanitary condition of the
building is better than usual, but the interior
needs repairs. In fact new jail is needed for
Baltimore county, as, for large part of the
year, the place is greatly overcrowded. Re-
ligious services are conducted every Sunday by
Mrs. j. e. Green and Miss Lizzie Brown, and
we highly recommend these ladies for their
faithfulness. In the absence of the sheriff,
Mr.. William Fl. Todd, Mr.. Oliver Kidd showed
us every courtesy.
1.-THE alms-house of Baltimore county con-
tains 70 inmates. The sanitary condition of
the institution isvery good and is thoroughly
clean and comfortable. Everything is being
done for the comfort and good cheer of the
aged and unfortunate inmates. There are
only three of the females that are able to help
the matron in the culinary department, and but
two of the males are able to help on the farm.
We are glad to note the number of old men who
are employed for few hours each day under
supervision to do little odd jobs. For instance,
one has charge of the flower pots and another
is the mail carrier of the institution and COM
munity, and they are very happy to feel they

be removed to the insane asylum. One of
these is colored boy IL years of age Re-
lgous services are regularly held every two
weeks for the Protestant inmates by Rev. A.
T. Pindel, of the Episcopal Church, and the
Rev. Father Campbell holds service once
month for the Catholic inmates. The new
superintendent, Mr.. E. Clinton Tracey, and
his wife, the matron. are showing themselves
to be faithful and efficient officers of the in
stitution. The appointment of an assistant
superintendent and assistant matron, Mr.. H.
f. Buchanan and his wife, was a wise move
ment. The farm is under excellent cultivation
and bids fair to yield splendid crops"

Thinks the Milk is Being Tempered
With.-The United Milk Producers Associa-
| ton is having some trouble and this is not to
| be wondered at considering the opposition it
| has met with. 1t is thought the milk sent
out from the creamery has been, in some in
stances, tempered with, either by the drivers
| or some other persons unknown. Speaking of
this matter Mr.. William B. Crowther, presi-
dent of the association, said violent opposition
has been shown the association ever since it
was organized. When there was talk of a
| trust being organized to control the milk bus
mess of Baltimore and fix the price to be paid
for the product of the cow, the owners of most
of the dairy herds near Baltimore promptly
| decided to fight. The result was that the trust
which was being organized in the city was
| knocked out and the producers formed little
trust of their own. They had the milk to sell
and, rather than take what they could get for
rs determined to sell direct to the consumer.
| In this way great many middlemen were
thrown out of business, and some of these, with
other persons opposed to the association, have
been fighting it in every way possible.
One Failure Causes Another.--Mr Frank
| Slingluff, a Baltimore business man, has filed

notes secured and $3.50, 1873 unsecured, max
ing a total of SITS, 7479S. The assets represen-
ted in the declaration are seventh interest in
| the properties known as Beach Hill and Forest
| farms, valued at $50, 600, so far as that one
seventh interest is concerned, and lots and
| houses on Pennsylvania avenue and Sewell
