Mrs. Hanson Brown died at her
home near Avilton, Garrett county,
Md, on Sunday, March II, 1901, aged
"a years, months and ~ days.
Mrs. Brown was very active wo-
man for her age, and was never seri-
ously sick in her life, but about nine
days before her death she was taken
ill with la grippe and pneumonia.
There was little uneasiness felt by
her friends at first, but the last few
days she failed so fast that ali knew
her end was approaching; her chill
dren, some living in West Virginia
and others in Pennsylvania, were
hastily summoned, but few of them
were able to reach her while living,
and one daughter living at Clearfield,
Pa, did not get there until after the
time for the funeral, but the family
knowing that she was ON the way, did
not bury her until she arrived.
Mrs. Brown was the daughter of
John Blocher, and was married to
Hanson Brown at the age of 16. She
was the mother of eleven children,
nine of whom survive her She also
had twenty-four grand children and
seven great-grand children.
Mrs. Brown was highly esteemed
by all who knew her; she was noted
for her iberality and was DEVOTED
member of the Brethren church. Her
funeral took place on Tuesday at the
Zion M. E. church, the services were
conducted by Ed. w. A. Gaunt, of
Salisbury, assisted by her pastor,
David Merrill.
May her dear children who so deep
ly mourn the loss of kind, Christian
mother, ever try to remember and
initiate her noble Christian life.

CORKSCREW PHILOSOPHY.

1t is not what you know but how
you apply what you know that makes
wisdom.
Common sense is natural wisdom.
the instructive power to grasp things
necessary and useful.
The object of education is to en-
large the perceptive powers without
waiting for the slower processes of
experience.
Diplomas are of little real value
they often certify "This is an educat-
ed fool" What kind of diploma is
yours?
The useful are nearly always the
most common,-too many persons
seem to overlook that important
point. Are you pursuing the unat-
tainable or hammering away at the
peedful?
The things that are necessary re-
quire the care and attention of the
maryland nature has qualified all
sane persons to do their share of the
work. What are you working at?
As a general rule the greater BODY
of the people are what nature intend
ed and fitted them to be-some for
another, and happy he who soonest
learns his true powers.
The most beneficent law of nature
is the one that requires us to work.
to labor, and to perform, in order to
be men. Ignorance may be the curse
OF God but idleness is the curse of
the devil. What class are you in?
Man is not fitted to dwell alone
he is best served by being one of
many; and he serves best by doing
what he can to help all. Truth, JUS
tice and Service should be his aim
and Service is the greatest of the
three.
Itch Diem is the proud motto of
the present king of England. 1t now
rests with him to prove himself
worthy of the noble words. To para
phrase the words of the poet: 1.-THE
quality of service is not strained, it
cometh equally well from king or
peasant and blesses all upon whom
the service falls" JACKSON.

DOLORES.

Where are the summer roses dead;
Where is the love and laughter fled;
Summer has gone,-and gray and drear
Steals on the evening of the year.
Wan brown leaves to the cold earth fall:
Vines run red at the old stone wall;
Clouds are darkening and autumn's rain
Beats the long roll at the window pane.
Where are the hopes we cherished ?-gone
Where are the dreams lover and done;
A barren end to once sweet hours
Sprayed with salt of drear sea showers
Dank leaves rot at the old stone wall;
Sad thoughts throng i'll memory's hail.
over and over, in sad refrain
Love that is lost comes never again
Love that is ioSt-oh, fond Dolores
The starry realms my soul explores.
come! | come! Hear Thou my cries =
Love is not lost in Paradise.

prop the political fortunes of a few
men, who masquerade as the Demo
cratic party. and the people are ex-
pected to pay the heavy bill contrac-
ted by them in the name of the State
for this purpose. You are expected
to help intrench them against your
selves, though you have but recently
repudiated them. Those who mis-
governed the State prior to 1895 are
again in power. The fear of the in
dependent vote has made them des-
perate. If the parties can be made
more uneven by DISTINGUISHING $4,000
freemen, they think they need not
fear defeat. 1t is for you to consider
and reflect. The work of the session
is only the beginning. Their plans
will be disclosed gradually so as not
to alarm you. Unless you rise in your
might and crush this attack upon the
suffrage in its incipiency, it will be
construed as a license to wipe out
what remains of our election law and
result in again making our elections
a by-word.
OPPOSED TO FEDERAL INTER
FERENCE.
This is fish to the finish before
the people of Maryland for manhood
and manhood suffrage; we believe the
people can meet the issue and wisely
solve it without aid from any outside
source, and are, therefore, opposed to
any Federal interference. Although
the Acknowledgement of citizens is in
violation Of the Constitution of our
State, and comes within the provis-
ions of the Fourteenth Amendment
of the Constitution of the United
States, we favor leaving the entire
question to the people of Maryland,
and pledge our efforts to that end"
The above is singed by all of the
Republican member of the Senate
and House, including Senator Raven
scroft and Assemblymen Finzel and
Wilson, of this county.

To the Editor of The Republican
| wish to congratulate and also
compliment your correspondent from
Sunnyside in last weeks issue. First,
L wish to congratulate him ON having
the opportunity as well as the pleas
ure of living in such grand commu-
nifty as that which he describes and
which, it seems, could not be other
wise when we stop to think of the
number of religious denominations
represented. 1t d oes not seem posi-
BILE that anyone living in commu-
nifty such as that described by your
correspondent would be capable of
recognizing wrong only as mon
ster, but we are constrained to think
of the words of Alexander Pope when
he says:
Vice is monster of such frightful mien.
AS, to be hated, needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face.
We first endure. then pity, then embrace
Second, | want to compliment your
correspondent ON his article of last
week for the grand principles it en-
bodies, namely, desire to speak well
of all. What a grand principle we
portray when we eulogiZe rather than
stain the reputation of our fellow
man. Fear to do base; unworthy
things is valor; if they be done to us,
to suffer them is yalor too

Please allow me space in your col
umns for a hit Of information to the
teachers that may be of worth to
them. There may be some teachers
in the county for whom it may be in
convenient to attend normal and who
may wish to pursue the course pre-
! paratory to the examination. And.
too, that the normals may all pursue
the same course of study the follow
ing ground in the different branches
has been agreed upon as preparatory
to the examination:
First Grade - Algebra, through
quadratics; geometry, through four
books OF Wentworth; physics to mag
netism, by Steel; general history,
modern, according to Meyers; prac-
tical bookkeeping, double entry; civil
government, through DR.. Steiner's
book; language, Mother Tongue No.
l, with best methods for using book;
psychology, developments of the men
tai faculties in regular order; elemen-
tary geography, Frey's, and methods
of using the book; arithmetic, through
fractions, percentage and practical
mensuration; photography, reading
and penmanship and school manage
ment as usual.
Second Grade-Algebra, . first step
completed; geometry, first book of
Wentworth, including test examples;
same ground in arithmetic, but prob
lens not so difficult; other work same
as first grade
There will be but one examination,
held at Oakland, at the close of the
normals. We hope the above infor-
nation may be of assistance to the
teachers and that the examination
may reveal splendid results of their
normal work
