FOR PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO
ANIMALS.

Editor Of tie Evenng CAPITAL:
have been deeply interested in the
movement to establish Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals in this
city. Ever since first knew Annapolis
there have been persons who constantly
said to me: "Why don't they have such
a society here3 Isn't it shocking that in
the Capital OF the State OF Maryland ami
mails are not cared for? My heart aches
for the chickens, the horses" and so on
Now in attending the meetings to estab-
lish this society so long sighed for, not
one of those humane persons has been
visible to my eyes, nor have | heard
their names read. Surely If one is too
busy to 90 to Arundel Hall for an hour,
it requires little expense or exertion to
send Mr.. Peter Magruder postal card
and give ones name and so "lend a
hand" The dues cannot be alarming,
as they are about eight cents month
less than many of US give our children
for candy or paper dolls. My attention
was first called TO this cause and these
meetings by two persons in unison, neith-
er of whom have ever attended the meet
ings themselves. Next Tuesday a noble
woman will be with US and make most
interesting address. Will she find the
best class of Annapolitans anxious to
meet her and learn of the work? Or
will we all 20 on saying: "How dread
full. how shocking" and never give a
cent to the cause or send in their namesf

The Children's German.

A number Of interested mamas, papas
and "big sisters and brothers, together
with admiring friends of the little ones,
gathered at St. Johns College gymnas-
ium last night TO see the children's dane
ing class. in the gymnasium. taught by
Miss Elizabeth Handy. There were forty
children in the class and the figures were
executed with precision and grace that
showed evidence of thorough training on
the part OF their teacher. After the
grand march and several pretty evolu-
tions, the children waltzed and danced
the two-step. after which the german be-
gan. Many new and beautiful figures
were introduced. all of which were exc
cuted with smoothness. The favors con-
sisted of bells, tiny trumpets. whistles.
jugs. purses, &c. The closing figure,
with steamers OF pink and blue. was ex-
ceedingly graceful and beautiful. The
children made pretty picture, the little
girls in their dainty white dresses, and
the boys in their black suits. with white
gloves. They show careful training by a
capable teacher. The grace ofliitle Kath-
arine knight and Master Belknap was
highly commended and commented upon
by the audience. The dancing of the little
daughter of Mrs. Austin NJ. Knight cali
ed forth warm applause and praise from
the appreciatve on-lookers. The chill
dren S german was a great success. and
Miss Handy may well feel proud OF her
dancing class.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Interesting Subjects Discusshd by The
Farmers Of The County.

An informal meeting Of the Farmers
Institute was held ct Dunkirk, January
10th, under the directions of Director
Amos, of the State Experimental Sta
ton, assisted by Capt. sylvester, Presi-
dent of the Agriculture College, F. S.
Hill, of the Prince George county and
Mr.. James Rice, of New York. The
meeting was largely attended by the
leading agriculturist of Calvert and
lower Anne Arundel counties, and much
interest was manifested. Quite large
numder of ladies were present. Direc-
tor Amos in his opening address shows
the advantage the farmers can derive
by placing themselves in close com
munication with the experimental
Station and the Agricultural Depart
ment, and also advises the farmers to
have some sort of organization In everv
locality. One OF the many entertaining
farm topics which Capt. Sylvester
discussed was that ten pounds of nitrate
OF soda to fifty gallons of water or in
one hundred pounds of pla ter sown or
sprinkled on tobacco bed after the dew
has entirely dried off, will greatly aid
the ailing plants during the drouth, or
when they turn yellow. Mr.. F. S. Hill
in a brief address on tobacco, calls
special attention to the selection Of de-
sirable seeds plants. and in so doing to
select the light green instead Of the
dark or gray green for quality. Mr..
James Rice on poultry was very in
structive and interesting, and any per-
son listening to Mr.. Rice on his favorte
subject could start well in poultry rais-
ing without a hitch, and we do sincere
ly hope that the present legislature will
double the amount that is annually
appropriat d to conduct these meetings
throughout the State, and through the
aid of these meetings and in connection
with the Experimental Station and the
Agriculture Department, and the facili-
ties which the new railroad offers will
give the agricuturist of this section, the
best opportunities to induce their land
to the higheststate of fertility and profit.

the attention ~ the matrOn, Miss
OpheMa Chipp, was called 10 the mat

the room was found 20 be full OF gas
and the unfortunate young woman was
lying on the bed dead.
In commenting ON the case. Medical
Examiner Palmer said: 1T Is case
that demands rigid investigations No
person should be allowed 20 turn on
the gas at that meter until ne or sne
had inquired in each room IL the stop
cock was fixed SO that the gas could
not escape. Not one person In forty
would have thought TO see whether the
cock was turned off or on In case
like n al OF Miss Manners. They would
have done just as that poor young girl
did. She might have been called out or
her room for a moment. and on return
ing found the gas which was purn-
ing when she left it, out Tired ana
sleepy. she gave il no thought, no more
than to think the gas was out, and was
soon asleep. In the morning the gas
was turned on without knowledge as 10
whether or not the gas could escape in
her room. Somebody IS 10 blame. The
people who offer a home 20 poor girls
are under obligations 20 provide them
with a place " comparative safety
There should be some action on the
part OF the people in charge of that
house TO see II II is safe 20 turn on the
gas from the meter before it is turned
on"

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-02-05

There is a great deal being said about
the manner in which Miss Ada Man
ners met her death by asphyxiation by
Illuminating gas on Saturday, and the
question has been raised whether or
not the other young women who board
at the house OF the Young Womens
Christian association, No. l22 Foun-
tain street, are not in danger OF the
same fate. The rule OF the house of
turning on and of of the gas in the
various rooms from the meter without
knowledge on the part OF the person
who turns il on in the morning that
the stopcocks in each room are turned
so as TO prevent the gas from escap-
ing free into the rooms, when " Is
turned on at the meter in the morn
ing, is generally condemned.
The general suppositiOn is that the
gas was turned off at the meter while
Miss Manners was retiring on Friday
evening, at 10:30 o'clock. and, OF
course. her light was extinguished. All
the rooms are supplied with candles
for use after the gas has been turned
off, and the young woman after md
ing and lighting one of these, must
have forgotten that the gas jet was
stin open. and did not turn the stop
cock which would close il. AT 8 o'clo
Saturday morning the cook turned on
the gas at the meter. IL is turned OF
again at $3.50 O'clock usually, but on
this occasio IL was 10 O'Clock before
IL was done.
Miss Manners was not seen at break
fast on Saturday morning, but no no
tice was taken Of her absence. but at
r. II. Gladding e. Co.'S store where
she was employed. the fact that she
had nat appeared was noted. and
Miss McAuliffe. who was emnloyed
there and also boarded at the Y. w
c. A. house. was asked about II. She
on her return 10 the house AZ noon
