THE order introduced by Alderman
Thompson, +. A, that a committee COM
posed OF Mayor Dubois. Counsellor
Claude, Alderman Thompson. F. H
and School Examiner +. Eugene Wa,hen
and Wiley II. Bates. be appointed to
request the delegation in the Legislature
to have bill passed to pay the teachers
OF Anne Arundel county monthly instead
OF quarterly, is good one. but it will
not work in Anne Arundel county. Teach
ers have tried this before. and the ques-
ton has been agi,ated from time immem-
orial. Baltimore city has a separate and
distinct law governing schools and can
pay its teachers monthly. but the State
law governing schools is under quite a
dIderea: :egH.:s. and the State Comp
troller's appropriation to the schools is so
regulated that the monthly payment, is
out OF the question. unless the entire
State law be revoked.

The smallpox epidemic in London
shows an alarming increase, and as re.
suit the whole royal family has been
vaccinated. King Edward is now going
about with his arm in sling and the
Queen was rendered quite i'll after the
incubation. Lord ROseberry and other
leading diplomats have followed the
sovereign's example. and indeed the
whole episode is said be an example to
make the common people submit to vac
einsiion in spite of prejudice that exists
against it. 1t is remarkable coinci-
denee that the present outbreak COIN
cides with that of the coronation year OF

lT scarcely seems possible that there
is in the city of Annapolis an individual
who would raise his voice against the
proposed hospital. And yet il is under
stood there are such, and these men. of
small mental stature, who fail to rise to
great ends, and who always throw s,umb-
ling blocks in the way OF progress and
advancement, are now attempting to
kill the hospital plans.
Perhaps their motives are selfish. GER
tanly there can be no other reason, I'M
less il be a selfish one. that prompts any
one to declare hospital in Annapolis
unnecessary and something the peo-
pie do not want. The people 40 want
a hospital. and have wanted one for
years past. The needs are multiply ing
daily, and will continue to multiply.
Everybody will be benefited by the
establishment Of hospital in Annapolis
where their sick can be cared for in a
sanitary way and where they can have
the proper nursing. impossible to be
given At home. Why any man should
raise his voice against the establishment
OF a hospital in Annapolis. will remain
question fer conjecture.

A BRUTAL SPORT.

The crowded coops of huttering pig
cons that are almost daily seen in front
OF the express Office and the sounds
bang-bapg that are heard nearly every
afternoon TO the northwest OF the city in
dictate the brutal sport carried on here
every season. Live-pigeon shooting is a
brutal sport. There is no possible ex-
cuse for it. and its foundation IS cruelty
and cold-blooded Indifference to suffer
ing. The Workmanship is almost of no
use. either in war or in hunting. the
places where the shooting matches are
held depreciate real estate values for a
large distance around them in every d.
reciion, and they are centers of demorali-
zation. especially TO the boys who find
employment around the traps, while
modern humanity can well afford to lack
such pleasure as few score gunners get
out Of the shooting OF helpless birds. We
learn that last season over IL 900 pigeons
were shot at the grounds in the suburbs
OF Aiken, and this season, unless the
cruel work is stopped. il is likely that as
many. il not more. OF these gentle birds
will be killed.-AikeA IS. e. Recorder.

Every Indication Of a Duel at sa-

Victims. .,..,.s,.

savannah, Ga, Dec. $2-Captain F. c.
wilson, exc commander of &one Of the COM
pan1es OF Savannah volunteer guards, one
OF the most exclusive and famous military
organization OF this city, and John Sulli-
van Schley, Va cousin of Rear Admiral
Schley. and also a member. of that com
pany, are about to fight q duel. At least
a challenge has been Sent by Mr.. Schley
and accepted by Captain Wilson.
q The trouble was ;1n alteration between
Captain Wilson and Mr.. Schley, In which
the latter was knocked down.
Great alarm among the friends of the
two has been expressed. Both are good
shots, Captain Wilson. especially having
wide reputation and possessing more
than 100 medals and trophies won at Sea-
Girt and elsewhere in rifle, revolver and
shotgun competition. Y So. -'-%&..@
Mr. Schley has also represented, Savan-
nah at the Sea-Girt contests, and at
Charleston his score was the highest made.
A meeting between such shots would, it
is thought, prove fatal for one ZOE both if
they fire in real earnest and with intent
to kill. : ~ t.... azs '-*e>.-> ~. s.'-. -
Both men are prominent socially Mr..
Schley is member of one Of the best
known families of Georgia. He is law
yer. Captain Wilson is a dentist with
large practice. No action has. yet been
taken by the civil authorities looking to
the prevention of the impending duel nor
have there been any arrests made on the
charge of seeking to fight a duel, though
both principals and seconds are amenable
to law. .-...s -.

How the Steamer Portland Was
Caught in the Arctic Drift.

st. Louis, Dec. 2.-Wilson r. Miner of
this city has returned from an unintended
voyage to the Arctic region, in which the
steamer Portland, on which he and a par
ty of friends embarked from Seattle for
Cape Nome, was carried as near the north
pole as any explorer was ever able to
attain. 49," -..'4 ~. -
The Portland was caught among the
mighty icebergs of the arctic drift when
within a day 8 voyage of Nome. The ship
passed through Bering straits without
steam at the rate of sixteen miles an hour,
on and on, steadily northward, into the
land of perpetual dark, Of a waste of ice
foes and of bitter cold. The vessels fuel
was used to keep the machinery from
freezing. The Gennie, ship which left
Seattle after the Portland did, caught up
with the Portland in the Arctic circle and
her crew was saved from starving or
freezing to death by the Portland's- cap
| tain, who eventually rammed his way
through the cracking ice foes and brought
both his own vessel and the Gennie to
safety. .. ..... ..,a.. ...- . '..
Mr. Miner says the Portland attained
to within 600 miles of the pole, which he
thinks is little closer than any explorer
| ever reached -.:-.-.--- = - = = -
