"R. II. W." Walbrook, Md, writing
to the Baltimore Ne~s, very aptly says
When Governor Wartield was visiting the
Normal School in Baltimore, reviewing the
St Johns College students encamped at
COLCHESTER, and addressing the Normal
School at Frostburg, we were reminded of
President Iarrison's interest in education
as shown in an address delivered at the con-
vention of the National Education Society
in July, 1892.
What may be said of the President of the
United States may be said of the Governor
of State. The President said at that time :
1t is quite as appropriate that the President
of the United States should review the teach
ers of the land us that he should review the
army or militia.
The Governors appreciation of teachers,
aS shown III his address at Frostburg, will
win the hearts of the 5000 teachers of the
State He SAID:
They do more for good citizenship than any
other class of officials.
This Is a very truthful estimate of their
value.
Maryland has been very fortunate for
years p,lst in the Governors who have taken
am interest in education.
1t is owing, largely, to this interest that we
have made such wonderful progress in our
schools We cannot but contrast our COndi-
ton with the State that is reported as hav-
ing so many closed schools because of the
scarcity of teachers.
The interest in the schools and the ap-
prOval of the work OF the teachers by the
highest officer of the State will stimulate the
teachers to do their best

STREET ADORNMENT.
Some Points on Planting and Pre-
serving Shade Trees.


serving Shade Trees.
"If the citizens Of town knew the
value of good shade trees" said well
known nurseryman recently. there
would be great many more Of them
planted. Any town or village, however
inexpensive its buildings. can be made
attractive by planting trees, and 1t Is
not only for adornment that they are
of value. They purify and cool the air
in summer. and 1t is II well known fact
that trees radinte heat In winter. The
more there are in neighnorhood the
more equablc the climate. Tree plant
ing is rs much n sanitary measure as
building sewers, and 1t ought to be
matter of pride to the citizens Of
town to see that their streets are not
only beautiful. but healthful.
"The selection of proper trees Is one
Of the most important points in Sue
cessful planting. AS n rule only nurs-
cry grown, repeatedly transplanted
trees Of a good but not too large size
should be used. Trees offered very
cheap are frequently gathered in the
woods and will never give satisfaction
as street trees. The proper qualities Of
street trees are compact growth. me-
dunn size after being developed and Il
more or less regular shape, so as to be
In harmony with their surroundings.
They must stand pruning well. also
any amount Of sun or shade, according
to locality and exposure; must be as
free from insect pests. fungi and I'M
pleasant odors as possible and clean In
their vegetation.
"Many varieties Of the maple tribe
and the European linden make excel
lent shade trees for streets. The red
oak, the beech, the tulip tree and the
liquid amber may grow well In very
broad, open avenues, where it is posi-
Bile to keep a narrow grass plot around
their trunks to partly prOduc" the con-
ditions under which they succeed in
parks.
"Now and then we see efforts made
to have trees planted in II street. They
are even temporarily protected against
injury but how seldom Is there any
interest taken In their further develop
ment! Not seldom we see the iron pro-
tectors surrounding the trees grown so
deep into them that to remove them
would mean death by the hatchet in
place of slow stranguation. In a meas

do not fare better than the upper parts
Of the tree. Being forced into a small
opening in the pavements. they soon
outgrow their quarters and find them
selves in strait1acket as narrow and

to effect serious crippling."

The current charge that the spelling
of public school children is atrociouS re-
ceives the strongest sort of confirmation
from the refusal of the high-school prin-
cipals to allow their pupils to take part
i'll a series of spelling matches for prizes,
which the E0gIe offered in order to slim
ulate interest in this fundamental of Il
common school education
The nub of the matter is Just this
the public school children cannot spell.
The principals of the high schools know
that they cannot spell, as does everybody
else who has occasion to receive letters
from them. If Il series of competitions
We're held this most troublesome fact of
the school situation to those on the i'll
side might be revealed to the great body
of parents and taxpayers. Then there
might arise such hue and cry for COM
mon sense and the fundamentals of
education as would annoy the author
tiles who now make out our scientific
and philosophical course of study, which
Sights spelling for general information
about everybody, from Confucius and
Buddha down to Admiral Togo.
If the school should once begin to
make time enough for fundamentals, of
which spelling is easily first, there is no
telling how many fads and frills would
have to be cut out to find time for essen
tials. Therefore, the school system
emulates the ostrich by hiding its head
i'll the sand, in the vain hope that the
bad spelling of its pupils will not attract
too much attention so long as they do
not permit the children to stand up and
demonstrate their incompetence.
1t is a silly game, and there would be
little chance for its success in any case.
But this town is too full of employers
and parents who have been shocked by
the shortcomings of school children in
this matter to make such a refuge avail
able.-Brooklyn E0gIP.

KEPT HIS IDENTITY
SECRET
Murderer Known As James
Martin Hanged in the Jail
Yard at Butte

Butte, Feb. 24.-James Martin was
hanged in the Jail yard here at 4:46
o'clock Wednesday morning for the
murder Of John r. Williams, rail-
DAD man, whom he and Charles Len
nox attempted to rob in May, 1902, at
Silver Bow Junction.
Martin selected 4:30 as the hour for
the execution. expecting that there
would be few present. He also re-
4uested that there be no electric lights,
as he feared some one would recog
nige him and disclose his true name.
which he kept to himself.
So far as the attendance was con-
cerned he was disappointed. as the
united efforts of deputy sheriffs and
policemen could not control the crowd
which filled the yard. Martins wishes
as to the lights were carried out. and
as a consequence only a few persons
near the rail surrounding the gallows
saw anything and the most favored
saw very little. The condemned man
slept during the night, but spent the
time in prayer with Rev. c. L. Bovard
of the Methodist church and some wo-
men who had taken an interest In his
case. The march to the gallows was
made in quick time. There the min
ister sang Rock OF Ages" and Mar
tin prayed. I'm the Sweet Bye and
Bye" was sung.
Good bye everybody; God bless
you," said Martin, then the weight at
the end of the rope was cut and the
body shot downward. The neck was
broken.
Martin made no statement regarding
his crime. though he has maintained
all along that he did not fire the shot
that killed Williams.
