State School Funds.

A dispatch from Annapolis, under date of
the 18th instant says:
Under recent decision Of the Court Of
Appeals in the case of Robert Shriver, of
Allegany county, against the Comptroller OF
the Treasury ii is believed that an entirely
new plan of distributing the school fund
from the State Treasury must be adopted.
Under the old method prescribed by the Act
Of 1879 it has been customary to use the
colored population Of school age twice In
computing the amount for each county.
That is to say, the distribution of State funds
TO the white schools was based upon the
entire population Of school age, both white
and colored. Then the distribution to the
colored schools was based upon the colored
population. This, Of course, gave the coun-
ties having large colored population great
advantage, and 1t is believed that 1t was
done Intentionally. For 1t is a fact that the
counties having the largest negro popula.
tons are the poorer counties and unable to
bear the burden of educating go large non.
taxpaying population. 1t was therefore said
to have been the intention Of the Legislature
to give them larger proportion Of State
aid.
The decision above referred to was based
upon the provision of the code on the sub
ject, Section 102 of Article n, which is as
follows:
"As soon as the Comptroller shall have
received from the city of Baltimore and the
several counties returns Of the amount Of
the State school tax levied In each county
and the city of Baltimore, he shall imme-
diately thereafter apportion the amount of
the whole levy to the several counties and
the city of Baltimore, in proportion to their
respective population between the ages Of
and 90 years"
The Court of Appeals held that the word
"white" could not be read into this section,
and consequently the petition Of Mr.. Shriver
for a mandamus in the case was dismissed.
But the Court went farther and expressed
the opinion, in substance, that the same
principle is applicable to Section SO, of Ar
ticle n of the Code, under which the dis
tribution of the fund appropriated for the
maintenance of colored schools is made.
This section, as well as Section 102, was
codified from the Act of 1872, Chapter 377,
and reads as follows:
1.-THE Comptroller shall apportion the sum
appropriated for the support of the colored
schools of the several counties and the city
of Baltimore in proportion to their respec-
tive population between the ages Of and
30 years said superintendent to be made
at the time he apportions the levy for the
white schools"
Before the act from which this section is
taken was codifed the section contained the
word "colored" before the word "popula.
ton"
Under this new decision Montgomery
county will receive 81. 1865 II less per year
than heretofore, and this will necessitate the
annual closing Of the schools about twelve
days earlier than usual

darling Ethyl, the only daughter of VIM.
H. and Louise Page, who died May 23rd

Oh Ethyl, could you speak to US,
And could you live again,
Your parents hearts would then be healed
But this we wish 10 vain.
No words will ever seem so sweet
AS the words she used to say,
No day will ever seem so sad
As the day she passed away.
Friends may think we'll soon forget her,
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
Gone to meet her darling brothers.

SAY PRICE IS TOO 10

ROME, Dec. 1S.-Considerable excite
ment prevailed in the mother houses
Of the Dominicans, Augustinians,
Franciscans and the Recollects over
the announcement of the settlement Of
the friars' lands questions in the Phil
ippines. The friars were glad the dis
cussions had been concluded, but think
the Order got little for the lands, since
the price they originally asked, $12,-
100000, was, they declare, under the
estimated valuetof the lands, the value
of which had been much increased, es-
pecially since the American occupation
and the establishment of order in
the Archipelago. The friars say the
money they will receive is scarcely
enough to pay what they borrowed
when they were deprived of everything
by the revolution. Besides, they point
out. only part of the money will go to
the friars, rs the lands were really
transferred to a company formed in
Madrid by the Marquis de Comillias.
the head of the Spanish transatlantic
Navigation Company. The Dominicars
succeeded in so thoroughly concealing
their ownership of lands that the Nati-
can itself threatened to punish them Sc
verely for having tried to deceive even
the ecclesiastical authorities.

The report Of the fact that the Brit
ish ship KelsingtOn, which arrived
wednesday night from Newcastle, Aus
trana. had encountered a terrific ty-
phoon nine days out from the antipo-
dean port has caused considerable un-
easiness for the safety Of other yes
sells that left the coal port about the
same time. The British ship ". J. Pir-
rie left Newcastle the day before the
Kensingt0n sailed. and the ship Alice
A. Leigh and the bark Thistle. both
Britishers. started for this port in com
pany with the Kensington. That they
all encountered the typhoon is highly
probable. and only the future can tell
with what result.
These three vessels were listed yes
terday for reinsurance, all being quoted
at 10 per cent. They are all stout. we'll
found windjammers, and as far as
known were as fully and efficiently
manned as the Kensington, which
N-eathered the blow and made port in
safety.
The other overdUes are quoted as fol-
lows: Paris 20 per cent. La Bruyere 45
per cent and Olivebank 80 per cent.
