THE RERCUE HOSE co.
The Members Hold a Meetir G
And Transact Important
Business.

The Rescue Hose Company No. /
held very largely attended and in
teresting meeting last night at their
fire department quarters on West
street. A great deal of important bus
mess was transacted and the meeting
was a highly profitable one.
For some time there has been con-
siderable dispute and discussion over
the horse recently purchased by the
Rescue Hose Company for its use.
There was difference of opinion as
to the qualities of the animal and a
veterinary surgeon was called in yes
terday TO give his opinion. DR.. Wat
son, especially engaged for the nur-
pose, made careful and thorough eK-
animation of the horse, and said it
was one of the soundest animals he
had ever seen. The result was very
satisfac tory and everybody was salts
fed.
After the discussion on the horse
the members of the Rescues Hose Com
pany by a vote, decided to recommend
James BealI to the City Council as
keeper of the premises and of the
horse. Mr.. Beall is son of Mr.. John
Beall, master E.eehanic at the "old
line'' depot since 1864. The senior
Beall, father of the young man rec
commended, organized the Recsue Hose
Company on June 8, 1879. and has al
ways been deeply interested in the
local fire department. The comnany
acted upon the application of Mr..
James N. Munroe, who was unani-
mously elected an honorary member
of the company. As Mr.. Munroe is
resident of the Third ward and takes
a keen interest in the welfare and pro-
gress of the city along all lines, his
election is most timely and well
chosen

pleasing personality and is forceful in
his argument. What he says tells,

ers, who strike out from the shoulder

"A HOME OF THEIR OWN.

The Royal Arcanum Will Endea-

Plans are on foot by the Annapolis
council of the Royal Arcanum where
by it will have home of its own and
he provided with an up to-date gym
nasium as q special item in its social
feature. While the membership of the
order has shown steady and graft
tying growth il is expected that un-
der the new policy which will prob
ably be adopted by the local council
its membership viii be added to a
considerable extent by the addition of
many desirable young men of the city.
AT the meeting on Monday night
the proposition was presented by Mr..
William Il. Slaughter, regent of the
council. The question was discussed
at great length and seemed TO meet
with the hearty approval of the large
number of members present. Most
particularly will the council endeavor
TO secure the cooperation of the An.

ing a new home.

to see what can be done toward secur-
ing the members of the association
for members in the Royal Arcanum,
or at least to take an interest in the
gymnasium feature of the order, which
it is intended to establish.
The council has under consideration
the requirement of well located
piece OF land on which it is the wish
of the members to erect a suitable
building, in which the meetings of
the council can be held and in which
a gymnasium can be established. If
sufficient promises of support are Sc
curedistock will be subscribed for the
erection of the building, the members
of the Royal Arcanum being given
preference with members of the Ath-
letic Association.
A committee TO take the first step
looking to the acquiring of the ground
and building was appointed by the
Royal Arcanum and is composed of
Messrs. William K. Slaughter, Frank

TO EARN AN INTEREST
Free School Book Fnnd Will
be Placed In SAVINGS
Institution.

A rule was adopted at the meeting
of the Board of School Commissioners
yesterday which will aid not little
in making the free school book fund
of greater value than it has been here
tofore. The various county boards
are given certain portion of the
state school funds solely for the pur-
pose of buying school books when
needed.
The sum in the hands of the local
board is approximately $4,000 at
present. At the meeting yesterday
Mr.. George i. Melvin, the recently
appointed member of the board, pre-
sented resolution to the effect that
this money be placed in a savings
bank rather than in a commercial
bank, as at present. The resolution
was adopted and the treasurer was
directed TO make the change at once.
Although there is more or less of a
fiuctuation in the amount of money
on hand, it is claimed that over $l0C
in interest can be earned each year.
In going over the various bills pre-.
sented to the board for payment foI
supplies, such as coal and wood and
repairs on school buildings it was
found that practically none of them
contained the endorsement of the
school trustees. Considerable discus.
sion was engendered by reason of this
fact and positive rule was adopted
relative to the matter. 1t was de.
cided that hereafter no supplies could
be ordered unless the order was ac-
companied by the signatures Of the
trusees of the school and no bills are
to be paid unless countersigned by
the trustees.
