The Patrons and Teachers institute which
held its sessions in the Hi, h School building
Thurmont, last Saturday, was most signally
successful. This success was in no small
degree due to the presence of State Supt.
Stephens. Miss S Z. Richmond Of the State
Normal School, Co. Examiner E. L. Bobli'z
and Miss M NJ. Robinson of the Frederick
Female High School who are all live educa-
tors. Most interesting and instructive essays
were read followed by suggestive discussions
The number of patrons, visitors and teachers
present was most gratifying and encouraging
to those who planned the meeting and it is
earnestly hoped that when these meetings
are resumed in the fall even greater interest
will be shown.

afternoon about i.30 o'clock, she fell

of jefferson street and came very near
being drowned. She had tripped over
an uneven place in the bank. where
some men were laying pipes. When she
fell into the water a number of girls
who we're with her began to scream.
Vernon Baldwin, aged about 10 years,
living at Carrcroft, who attends the
same school, heard the girls screams
and ran towards them. He reached
into the race and caught the drowning
girl Just as she was sinking for the
third time. With the assistance of
three or four other boys, he rescued
her and drew her out on the bank.
When she was taken out OF the water
she was in serious condition, and had
to be carried home by man who was
at work nearby. When her friends got
her home she had not recovered and
had to be worked with for several
hours before she was resuscitated.
When she awoke Friday morning, after a
good nights rest, she said she felt all
right but had a slight headache. She
is recovering from her thilling expert

PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING.
Terrible Destitution Caused by the Drought
In Northern Arkansas.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 22.-In an
effort to relieve the condition of settlers
in the drought stricken section of
Northern Arkansas steps we're taken
yesterday at the Live Stock Exchange
to raise contributions to purchase pro-
visions for the suffering people. A
general appeal is to be made to the
people of Kansas City.
A deplorable story OF want and desti-
tuition was brought from Arkansas by
A. L. Doss of Sharp county, one of the
five counties in which the suffering is
most intense. lie says;

SINCE the American Occupation.

SINCE the American Occupation.
Washington, March -, An interest
ing statement concerning the improve
mcnt in the health conditions Of Havana
since the American occupation of Cuba
with special reference to the vital
statistics for tho calendar year 1901,
has been made public by the insular
division of the War Department,
Particular attention is paid TO the
purging of the city from yellow fever
during the past year by the destruction
of infected mosquitoes. 1t is of vast
Importance, the statement says, that
these facts should be made known to
the world extensively and as rapidly as
possible.
During the past As years, with
scarcely an exception. some deaths have
occurred from yellow fever in every
month of the year; the maximum,
2,05S deaths, taking place in 1857; the
minimum, 81 deaths, in 1866, with
the average 75l. Tie number Of other
infectious and contagious diseases has
been small during the calendar year
1901. There has been very little
diphtkeria and typhoid fever and the
! tuberculosis is about that of the most
cities of civilized countries. A rapid
| decrease has taken place since American
+! occupation. 4 marked decrease in
malaria also has occurred since the
mosquito work began.

TRAGEDY AT SPELLING MATCH.
A Rejected Young Man Fatally Shot HI
Rival and Wounded the Teacher.

A Rejected Young Man Fatally Shot His
Rival and Wounded the Teacher.
Vienna, Ill. March %. Alta spelling
match given at the schoolhouse at
Double Bridges, this county, a desperate
shooting affray occurred. Frank Rush
ing and John Adams, two young men
of the neighborhood, had been paying
their respects to the same young
woman, and she had told Adams that
she would have no more to do with
him.
This so enraged him that it is said
he swore vengeance on his rival. At
the close of the exercises as Rushing
came out of the schoolhouse door, young
Adams walked up behind him and
without word of warning shot Rush
ing in the back. Rushing fell off the
porch, and Adams shot him twice after
he had fallen, infiicting fatal wounds.
Adams then shot Greeley Jones, the
teacher of the district, inficting a
slight wound in the shoulder, after
which he escaped.

Objects to Ceding Washington to the
Jurisdiction of Delaware.
The Grand Lodge of Maryland, An
cient Order of United Workmen, does
not relish the idea of giving up Wash
ington to the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of Delaware. At the last meet
ing of the Delaware Grand Lodge, a
delegation from Washington asked that
that city be taken under the wing of
Delaware, it being felt that it was not
developing under that of Maryland.
The Delaware representatives decided
to accept Washington, if Maryland
would cede it and to go to the Supreme
Lodge if Maryland refused.
The Maryland Grand Lodge met in
Washington Tuesday and Wednesday.
A. b. Jones, j. E. Carroll and @. b.
Prettyman were present on Wednesday
and announced that Delaware was will
ing to take Washington. But the Grand
Lodge of Maryland refused very de-
cidedly to give up the Capital city.
The next step will be before the Su-

Destroy Caterpillar Eggs.

John G. Lewis, forester of Philadel-
phia, has men at work destroying the
egg nests of the caterpillars on the
trees, in all the city parks and squares
in that city. Mr.. Lewis said everyone
of these nests contain from $50 to 500
embryo caterpillars, and they should be
destroyed at once He also said the
most effective way of destroying the
eggs is to drop the nests in vessel
containing coal OIL and then apply a
match to the oil and cremate both the
nests and eggs. Residents of Whining
ton should follow the same plan.
