AgoncilloS announcement OF readi-
ness to swear allegiance to the United
States as soon as he shall receive "offi-
cial confirmation" of Aguinaldos hav-
ing done so. is really quite touching.
His further statement that the mo-
mcnt' he is satisfied that Aguinaldo
has taken the oath he will call at the
American embassy in Paris "to say to
Ambassador Porter that he considers
himself an American citizen" must, of
course. thrill the American people with
joy. especially as he couples with 1t
the promise Of an early return to
Washington. But some one should
send Grape to Atkinson, Winsow, and
the rest OF the Anti-Impcrialist league.

The dcvotees of foot ball may feel

to put senator White on record. how

yet been complained of by the Humane

With such rerversties of degenerate
public opinion as these set forth in
legislative halls and leading public
prints, we revert not only to Town and
Country's stern and truthful word:
What a. sad commentary the system
Is upon certain phases of American
manhood and character" but also add
to that word the statement of one
fact. Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets have found Il way TO put a. stop

possessed of an excellent eyesight,

SCHLEY CENSURED
81 Majority Of the Court But ADM.
rsl Dewey Praises Him.
The Schley Court Of Inquiry

The Schley Court Of Inquiry
has found Rear Admiral Scbley
culpable on eleven of the charges
cont aimed in the precept. ADM.
raj Dewey, however, dissents, and
ends strongly in favor of Schley.
Owing to lapses of time no recon-
mendation for punishment is made
The court finds Schley negligent,
disobedient, vascillating, dilatory,
lacking in enterprise, and while at
one point saying he was courage
Gus in battle at another says: "The
turn of the Brooklyn was made to
ayoil getting her into dangerous
proximity to the Spanish vessels"
In short, Schley's entire course,
from the departure from Key
West TO the Hodgson newspaper
controversy, is condemned. Dew
ey, on the other hand, says his
movements were made with all
possible dispatch, considering the
importance of keeping bunkers
well filled and the squadron as Il
unit, that the blockade, both Of
Santiago and Cienfuegos were ef-
fective, and finally: Commodore
Schley was the senior officer of
our squadron off Santiago when
the Spanish escaped on the NOR
ming of July 3, 1898. He was in
absolute command and was emit
tied to the credit due such com.
manding officer, for the glorious
victory which resulted in the total
destruction of the Spanish fleet"
Sentiment in Congress seems TO
be against an investigation of tho
Schley case. The opinion seems
to be that the people accept Dew.
ey's verdict. There will be an at
tempt at congressional investi-
cation, butt will probably be
blocked by the Republicans, Some
members favor a vote of conf
dence in Schley, as an endorse

depends on the wishes of Schley's

ONE WIFE TOO MANY.
Carroll County Woman Charges Her
Husband With Bigamy.

The Baltimore American of Sunday last,
says:
Miss Florence Selby, 1912 East Fayette
street, swore out warrant at the Northeas-
tern Police Station yesterday afternoon for
the arrest of Frank Horner, 16 South Eden
street, charging him with bigamy. Accord
ing to statement made by Miss Selby to a
reporter for The American at her residence
yesterday afternoon, she was married to Hor-
ner by Rev. Edward Huber, of ST. Matthew
German Lutheran Church, on March Is.
About eighteen months ago, she said, she en-
gagged Horner as driver for the dairy at 539
North Exeter street, of which she is part
owner, upon the recommendation of his
brother, Patrolman Lloyd Horner, who work
ed that post at the time. After being in Miss
Selby's employ several months, according to
the lady, he secured better position with the
Fiston Farm Dairy. While in her employ,
she said, he gained her confidence and soon
won her love. and 80 O clock on the evening
of March Is was the time set for the mar
riage.
About l O'Clock on that day, says Miss
Selby, Lloyd Horner called upon her and told
her that the groom elect, his brother, was
married man. When brought face to face
with his brother, Frank Horner, according to
Miss Seby, positively denied the accusation,
after couple of hours postponement the
wedding took place at $40 O'Clock. Miss
Selby says she noticed during the ceremony
that the minister pronounced the name of the
groom "Haner,H but thinking the mispronun-
citation merely a mistake on the part of the
minister, she gave it no concern. A few days
later the brides suspicious were aroused when
she was told by friends that the license as
published bore the name of Francis L. Haner.
The groom explained, according TO Miss Sell
by that the mistake had been made by
friend who had secured the license, but when
she was told that Horner had already been
married by his sister, Miss Rachel Horner,
who said she could show picture of her
brothers wife and child, Miss Selby decided
to investigate the matter fully.
A visit to the license clerk at the Courthouse,
says Miss Selby, proved, from the description
given, that Horner had secured the license
himself. Upon the advice of her attorney she
Immediately moved from $40 North Exeter
street, where they had been living. to her
present address, Through an outside agency,
she says, she learned that the alleged Mrs.
Horner No. had been a Miss Jenny Adams
and that she resided in small village about
II miles outside of Philadelphia. A cores
pondence between the two women brought out
the statement from the former Miss Adams
that she and Horner had been married in
Camden. N. j., on August Z, 1896, and that
after short married life Horner had come to
Baltimore alone, telling his wife that he would
send for her as soon as he secured a good
enough position. According to Miss Selby,
Mrs. Horner wrote that he had only paid her
one short visit during December, 1899.

For the Democratic Advocate
Efforts to Make the Public Schools of Car
roll County More Effective.


During the present year the School Com
missioners have placed in the Examiners Of
fee Teachers Library, solely for the i'm
provement of teachers.
The teachers promptly responded to plan
to contribute part of the money for the library,
which consists of eighty volumes, valuable and
recently published, treating of pedagogy,
school government, and everything pertaining
to teachers complete equipment for work.
Also during the year Teachers Hand
Book. gotten out by the Examiner, was placed
in the hands of each teacher. This book out
lines, systematzes and organizes the work of
the teacher and trustees somewhat as cata-
logue does for College.
The Commissioners contemplate other i'm
provements for the coming year. They will
consider the propriety of suggesting that
teachers reading circles be organized in each
Election District, SO that the teachers of
number of schools may come together and dis
cuss all those subjects which tend to awaken
interest and to create enthusiasm in the school
room work.
We have obtained permission from the
State Superintendent to hold the Teachers
Institute al the beginning of the school year,
and not near to or after Christmas as hereto
fore. If the Commissioners endorse the plan
il will enable the teachers to get their equip
ment, training and enthusiasm for the work
at the time when they can make the greatest
use Of these things.
| would like TO see a series of mass meet
ings during the year in different parts of the
county, at which common school education
could be discussed in the presence of the par
ents to make them more intelligent and inter-
ested in the Public Schools of the county.
This would help to create sentiment in
favor of longer school year and willing
ness TO be taxed for this purpose. An addi
ton Of three cents on the hundred dollars
would give the county an extra half-term of
teaching service. There are about 7 200 pub
lie school children in the county and it is
safe to say that at least 1000 of them will not
receive any education other than what they
get it the public schools.
