Frederick Not Alone In This.
Baltimore San.


Citizens of Frederick are doing wise thing
in asking for the appointment of a woman as
a trustee of the public schoolin SO enlightened
and progressive a town as Frederick should
tolerate such condition as that described. 1t
was said that because of sickness among the
children attending this school, committee OF
citizens visited it and found its condition
dreadful. The air was so foul that many OF
the teachers were compelled to keep vessels
of dsinfectants in their rooms. In this school
house there are no less than 800 children and
0 teachers. Why such condition was tolera-
ted for day it is difficult to understand But
il may be considered as certain that il woman
had been included in the trustees the trouble
would have been remedied or the School Board,
or whoever was responsible, would have found
life anything but agreeable. When parents
intrust their children to the care OF the State
or the public officials, they have right to de-
mand the protection of their health. While 1t
is to be hoped that no other schools in Mary
land are in this condition, it is safe TO assume
that there are many which are badly ventila-
ted and unsanitary. Many of the buildings,
and there are some in this city, are so con-
structed and situated that perfect ventilation is
impossible. But in all of these it is likely i'm
provement could be made. If the local au-
thorities are derelict in their duty, then the
State should take some steps to apply the rem
edy. The importance of preserving the health
of children cannot be overestimated, and
schools where good sanitary conditions do not
prevail should be closed, if there is no other
remedy

Boy Saves Train-The Result.


BY ten minutes work fourteen-year-old John
Gregg has gained place on the Pennsylvania
Railroad for life. He is the youngest of thous-
ands of men who are in the employ of the COM
pany and he gained his position in very
unique manner. 1t will be remembered that
there was a serious washout on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad near Principle. about six
weeks ago and patrons of the Belair postoffice
will recall that the mails were delayed for over
a week on account of the accident. The i'm
mense rush of water cut hole about 80 feet
deep in the railroad bed, which was discovered
by this young hero. He remembered that the
Colonial express from Washington was due in
few minutes, and, realizing that every person
aboard would be killed unless the train could
be stopped the lad dashed down the track,
stripping off his coat as he went. As soon as
he came in sight of the express, which was
running at the rate of sixty miles an hour, he
commenced waving his coat. He was seen by
the engineer, who brought the engine to full
stop. After explaining the situation the boy
disappeared, but the railroad officials instituted
an investigation and found ont who had aver
ted the catastrophe. The company gave him
the choice of either accepting position OF the
road for life or a collegiate education. The
young man has ambitions to become an engin-
eer and he was told to take year to think the
matter over

THE GRANTING of 10 per cent. advance in
wages by the Pennsylvania Railroad to its
100000 employees is something which deserves
the plaudits of the American people. The adj
vance was purely voluntary. Itseems to have
surprised the recipients almost as much as it
has gratiied them. 1t is great achievement
in practical benevolence and good sense.

to the request. Rev. Brown says: 1.-THE

THE NATIONAL GRANGE, P of H., at its an
nual meeting at Lansing, Michigan, last week,
renewed its recognition of woman's equality
by adopting the report of its committee on
good of the order, which declared that every
possible thing should be done Ito put woman
in possession of all those political rights and
property interests that the spirit of modern
civilization demands" The report further
says that the vice of intemperance should be
checked and the crime of easy divorces,
which has made America too conspicuous
in the eyes of the world, made impossible.
The duty of the Grange was declared to be to
impress upon the farmer that he is an Ameri-
can citizen with political duties to perform,
and that the man who neglects them because
politics are too dirty for him is just as much a
criminal as the man who neglects to drain a
cesspool that threatens his family because it is
ill-smelling.n

THE LATE grand jury of Montgomery county,

county for alleged violations of the antigamb-
ling law of the State. 1t is alleged that gamb-

the last annual fair. Among the directors of
the society are some of the leading citizens of
the county.
