ence to war medals:
Touching the matter of your refer

judgment to perpetuate in bronze those
who may have honored themselves by
deeds of honor wrought for home, tor
Gag, for country.

Hon. School Commissioners OF Anne
Arundel County,
Gentlemen-We,t the undersigned resi-
dents, parents and taxpayers, most re-
spectfully petition your honorable body
for the retention Of Mr.. J Wesley Chase
as principal OF Stanton public school.
Having heard from a very authentic
source that the trustees refuse to sign his
contract, we deem them unjust in their
refusal. knowing his ability and integrity
as we do, we feel called upon to petition
for his retention. Their refusal to sign
was not based upon incapability, morals
or deIeliction OF duty; therefore we, who
have always found in Mr.. Chase court
eous gentleman, having proven himself
the right man for the right place, petition
for his retention as principal.
We would most respectfully impress
upon you further the hardships that Mr..
Chase and family will have to undergo.
Having every reason TO believe that he
would be retained in his position, MIR.
Chase, in order TO make his home a COM
Portable one, secured furniture and other
things to secure himself and family COM
fort. This, unquestionably, will prove a
great severity to himself and family.
Since the treatment received by MIR.
Chase at the hands OF the trustees, has
caused so much dissatisfaction among
the patrons of the school, we feel that
the school will not prosper under their
control. We, therefore, ask that the
present board OF trustees be dismissed
and that new board be appointed.
Hoping that the recommendation of
trustees may be ignored. we respectfully
subscribe ourselves.

NEW SYSTEM.
FOR LETTER CARRIERS.
To Work Only Eight HOurs-Letters Not
Delivered Then Will Go Over
Until Next Day,

10 W0rk Only blSnt h0urs-Letters Not
Delivered Then Will Go Over
Until Next Day.
The First Assistant Postmaster-G Cen
eral has promulgated an order which is
making poslmasters in cities where free
delivery is established wrinkle their
brows and in many cases, doubtless,
utter unpriDtable language. The At
toTney General for the department has
decided that the "48-hour" provision of
the current appropriation bill expires on
une 30 and that after that date letter
carriers must be worked eight hours a
day for six days in the week-no more,
no less.
This means that under no circumstan-
ces can a carrier be worked more than
eight hours a day. If he is out on his
route delivering his letters and finds his
eight hours are up he must return to the
Office with his mail and notify the sup
erintendent of carriers. The routes are
10 be arranged so that the carrier can by
great industry cover them in eight hours.
ANY carrier found lettering will be inn
mediately removed from the service.
Uner the present law a carrier can be
worked 48 hours a week, so that all
routes are covered, the overtime being
charged in. Under the new law mail
not delivered in eight hours will go over
until the next day. This action has up
set the schedules in every Office in the
country, and especially in large Offices
like those of New York, Philadelphia
Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and others

And The Horse Walked Off.

Anybody who finds lost or strayed
horse leisurely walking around will con-
fer favor on the Magruder & Co. Last
night the faithful animal took exception
TO the excessive heat, broke his halter
and deliberately walked out the stable
door that had been left open for his COM
fort. Nothing has been seen OF heard oi
of his horseship since. The stable is a
rudely improvised affair, without wind.
ows, and while it has been satisfactory
in winter, it is too close in summer. The
door was therefore left open last night to
give the animal ventilation. 1t is another
case of docking the stable door after
the horse is stolen.
