Bad Food and Unsanitary Surround
ings the Cause.-The State Live Stock SAM
tary Board held meeting in Baltimore on
Monday when the report of the extraordinary
mortality among the horses on the farm of
Mr.. Francis Purnell, near Snow Hill, was taken
up and discussed.
Mr.. Wade H. d. Warfield, the secretary of
the Board explained that as soon as he had
been informed of the matter the assistant of
the State Veterinarian was sent to investigate
and that this official had reported the disease
to be cerebro-spina meningitis, so widely
prevalent at the present time in Maryland and
other states. The malady was attributed di-
rectly to improper food, damaged corn having
been found on the premises. This corn had
been fed to the animals affected
The Board announced that DR.. Meisner the
State Veterinarian, has made thorough in
vestigation of similar cases during the past
two years and in every instance has found its
origin attributable to unsanitary surroundings
poor food and bad drainage. In every case
where his advice was followed the results OBJ
tanned have been entirely satisfactory.

A District THAT Beats Them AiL-The

A District That Beats Them AlL-The
Baltimore San says SHERIFF Oeligrath of
Baltimore county, who took charge of the
office at the beginning of the year, comes from
district which is noted for more things than
one. In the first place, it enjoys the enviable
distinction of producing some of the heftiest
porkers in Maryland, as Judge Hoshall, of
the Orphans Court, can testify. Second, it
puted sway, and many residents who desire oc.
casional liquid inspiration being obliged to
travel miles to the nearest dspensary.
But these two conditions, coDclusively as
they establish the indsputable greatness of
to renown. There is not within the confines
Of the district a single colored voter. Only
one negro is said to live in the section, and he
is not of legal age.
This singularly favored part of Baltimore
county is known as the 9th district and looms
up conspicuously above every other part of
the State"

To Pension Aged Teachers.-The recon-
mendation of the Maryland State Teachers
Association will be carried into effect if the
bill introduced by Senator Moore in the Senate
becomes law. For many years the teachers
have been claiming that their old and infirm
should be taken care of by the State. Sena-
tor Moores bill provides for an appropriation
of $4,000 annually to pension all teachers who
have taught in the State for twenty years, and
the pay they received during their last year of
service in the schools. provided it is found by
the local school board that they are physically
unable to pursue the vocation any longer
The local school boards are required to certify
their findings to the Comptroller in the case of
any teacher who asks to be put on the teach
ers' retired list" and when so certified the
teacher is authorized to draw his half pay for
the rest of his life. The bill is inspired by the
State Board of Education, and is understood
to have the support of Governor Smith.

if Oeligrath has not yet accepted the PROPOSE
ton made to him some time ago by the Coun-
ty Commissioners In regard to the care of the
prisoners in the Jail and says he does not in
tend to do so.
The sums which the Board proposed to pay
aggregate Sl00 per annum, divided as fol-
lows Salary, $4,000; care of prisoners in
Jail, $1,000; expenses of the Sheriff's Office,
$4,000, this latter sum including the payment
OF salaries to the clerk and deputies, the COM
pensation of deputies who serve at elections
and the cost of all printing and advertising
connected with the Sheriff's Office.
The salary of the Sheriff is fixed by law at
$1,000 and $4,000 is designated by law to pay
the expenses of the office. The statute, the
Sheriff says, does not fix the amount the
County Commissioners are to pay for board
ing prisoners, but does say 80 cents each per
day for the maintenance of prisoners
Heretofore there has been an extra allow
ance for deputies employed at elections and
for printing and advertising.
The Sheriff says that as regards caring for
the prisoners in the jail he does not pro-
propose to take less than such service will cost.
1t is stated that Sheriff Todd received SO, 700
the first year and $500 the second. 1t was
also stated that larger sums have been paid for
the care of prisoners.
