NEW PARocHrAL SCHOOL.
Children of St Thomas Will Meet To-
 Morrow to Determine Grades.

Children of St Thomas Will Meet To- Morrow to Determine Grades.
 All the children of St Thomas par ish have been requested by the pas tor, the Rev Father Crowley, to meet in the basement of the church Tues day morning at 10 o'clock. The ob- ject is to make arrangements for the opening of the parochial school in Sep tember. It is essential for hlm to as certain what grade shall be necessary in the school and in a general way to find out all that shall be needed. The school building itself will be a super for one and in this respect alone the people of the parish ought to feel proud It's educational facilities will be second to none and ill time it's standard will be equal to that of the best. Hygienically it will be equipped with the latest ideas.
 Father Crowley also spoke on the prevailing smallpox. The, rules laid down by the board of education re- garding vaccination will also apply to the parochial school. AS for the chil- dren attending the public schools, there is no option with them They must be vaccinated in order that they may attend school and unless they shall attend school the law will en- deavor to ascertain the reason of their absence.
 The fact that some are complaining of sore arms is no argument at all against vaccination. The great ma jority of the people have been vaccin- ated without mourning any une3Ni- ness or inconvenience to themselves. All of the Catholic clergymen i'll the city have been vaccinated and he would advise everyone to be yaccin- ated as soon as possible. One lame arm in q thousand is no argument against vaccination. It is expected that when the parochial school will open in September it will have at least a couple of hundred pupils, which will increase gradually. Such are the ex- pectations of the parishioners.

OLD TIME SCOUT.

Butte, Mont, Mar. 24-News has been received here of the death of Richard Rock, an old time and wirely known scout and frontiersman at his ranch near Henry's lake on Saturday. Rock was gored to death by a Buffalo which he had raised. Rock was one of the scouts with the ill-fated Custer expedition and is said to be the man who gave Custer information of the presence of the Indians under Sitting Bull in the valley where the crafty chieftain encamped. Rock advised the general to wait for the coming of Rono before attacking. A year or so ago Rock was sent by the government into Yellowstone park to count the Buffalo remaining there.

 The case against the alleged proprie- tor John T. Sullivan was then ealiAl Attorney Lawlor filed a demurrer on the grounds Shat the law upGn which the complaint stands is unconstitution- al inasmuch as that it interferes with personal rights and privileges. The demurrer was overrulled and then MT Lawlor made plea for clemency i'll the punishment of his client.

 Fourteen Players.

 Returns From the South and Has
 Fourteen Players.
 Manager George Harrington of the local team arrived home from his trip through the south this morning, and he was successful beyond even his own expectations His principal ob- iect in making the trip was to see all the players he had signed whose homes are in the south He visited Wilmington, Delaware, and had a very interesting conversation with George Preptiss and before he quit Wilmington Prentiss had affixed his name to a contract for this season. He will not play with the local team, however, until May 1. He is going south with the Boston Americans and intends to remain with them for month and under those circumstances he signed his contract. Another man that has been signed is H. E. Slater, better known as Ned Slater, one of the best first basemen in any minor league and one of the highest priced men that will be in this league. He played with Worcester last year.
 Woodruff of last seasons New Lon don team has also been signed as change pitcher and outfielder. Me Cormack has also signed and a fast pitcher named Eddie Quick and our old war horse Harry Wilson may also be signed for the season.
 This will leave a pretty fair team to go up against the others, with Anthony Fisher, Wilson and Woodruff for catch CTS, Prentiss Clancy and Waller for pitchers, Slater first base, Fitzpatrick second base, Mccormack third base, Hannifin short stop, Henry, Weisbeck- CT and Woodruff in the field.

Best to Tell the Truth.

said:
''TO be successful in business, one
must be truthful. 1t matters not
how large or how small the business
you may be engaged in is, you can
not be successful if you undertake to
practice deceit. For eighteen years
| have been before the public and
have successfully ascended the
amusement owners ladder rung by
RUG, but only succeeded in doing SO
by keeping faith with every one with
whom came in contact. The Ameri-
can people are intelligent and do not
expect the impossible. Give them
what YOU promise and that is all
they ask. During my eighteen years
as a Snowman | have seen hundreds
embark in the business who thought
they could prosper on lines different
from those which | have adopted.
Where are they NOW? One can easily

The Best Remedy for Group.

The Atkinson Kan Daily Globe, says:
"This is the season when the woman who
knows the best remedies for Group is in de-
mand in every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of The children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case
of Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost in
case of burglars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers
say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
best, and does not cost so much. 1t causes
the patient to "throw mp the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will prevent
the attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant

DIED FROM INHALlNG GAS
Former Vance County Man Meets
Tragic Death in Baltimore.

| A press dispatch from Baltimore
dated the third says:
1.-TWO young men, Joseph W. Muir
ray and kemmitt Steed, died in their
room at Denhard,s Hotel yesterday
morning from the effects of illuminat-
ing gas which they had inhaled dur
ing the night. The men formerly
lived at Henderson. n. c., and had
recently worked at their trades in
Ellicott City. Murray, who was thirty
two years old, was a stone cutter,
while his companion, who was eigh-
teen years of age, was blacksmith.
Saturday night they registered at
the hotel mentioned and visited one
of the theatres. 1t was late when
they retired. Yesterday morning
when the Odor of gas was noticed in
the hotel an investigation was made
by the proprietor, with the result
stated. The condition of the gas
fixture made it apparent that the
affair was an accident. Murray had
left his bed and made his way to the
door, but was probably SO far gone
that he was unable to make more
than a feeble effort to open the door.
His almost lifeless body dropped
to one side when the door was opened.
A number of letters from people in
North Carolina were found among
Steeds effects. A physician who was
summoned worked hard to save the
lives of both men. but without sue
cess"
From an account in the Baltimore
Sun of Monday the following is
taken:
were left in doubt as to the identity
of the two men. After closely inspect
ing all the effects of the deceased one
of the officers found a letter ad-
dressed to Murray and marked i'll
care of Mr.. Harry Buchheimer,
who recognized both as having
visited his place number of times.
He declared that Murray, who, he
said, was the larger of the two, had
a sister, with whom he boarded, at
1902 North GilmOr street and later
at 1000 Druid Hill avenue, but who
had moved to EllicOtt City some
months ago.
But little was known of the identity
of the other man until after l o'clock
last night, when his father, Mr.
Charles A. Steed, called at the West
ern Police Station and informed Act
ing Lieutenant Peter Riley that he
had been informed of his sons death
by Mr.. Buchheimer. Mr.. Steed eX-
planned that he and his son had been
boarding with Murray's sister at
EllicOtt City, where they were both
employed as blacksmiths Mr.. Steed
stated that he and his son had come
here from Henderson, n. C., some
months ago and had made their home
in EllicOtt City since then.
"Of Murray Mr.. Steed claimed to
know little beyond the fact that his
sister was his boarding mistress and
that the dead man had been en-
ployed in this city, where he made
his home"
The body of young Steed was
brought to this county and buried
at the old family home place near
Statesville yesterday. He has a
number of relatives living in the
county and was known to many of
our readers.

QUESTION ANSWERED. A

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers never
thought of using anything else for lndiges-
tion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard Of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action Of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and other
aches You only need a few doses OF

The Walter l.. Main Show.

Speaking of the Walter L. Main
Show which will exhibit at Warren
Plains Saturday, Nov 3, an exchange
says:
Mr.. Main does not believe in forcing
upon his patrons a performance of
inferior merit, but believes in giving
only the best. He has long enjoyed
the reputation and does not intend
to forfeit it now. This season he
has far out distanced all his previous
efforts and has surrounded himself
with a galaxy of stars, a single one
of whom would be a feature with any
other show. The menagerie contains
a varied and excellent collection of
wild animals gathered by Mr.. Mains
agents from the four quarters of the
globe. Students of natural history
have pronounced it the most perfect
collection of animals in existence.
That is in both quantity and quality.
Aside from the herd OF elephants and
camels and other hay eating animals,
there are forty cages of rare beasts
from the forests and plains, and
among them many that were never
before seen in captivity.
