DEATHS.
Mrs. Mary Arnot Shaw.

The friends of Mrs. Mary Arnot
Shaw in this community were
shocked to hear of her death, on
Saturday morning last at her home
in Oxford. While Mrs. Shaw had
not been in good health for some
years past, it was not known her
condition was serious, and she had
been confined to bed but few
days. The immediate cause of her
death was heart trouble and
Bright's disease. The deceased
was the wife of Rev. d. E. Shaw,
for a number of years pastor of
West Nottingham Presbyterian
church. She had just passed her
fifty first birthday the week pre-
vious. She was daughter of Dr..
William Arnot, of Edinburgh,
Scotland, where she met and mar
ried Rev. Mr.. Shaw, while he was
pursuing his studies. Accompan.
ing him to this country they resid-
ed at Lincoln University, West
Nottingham and later at Oxford.
She was a woman of lovable Chris
tian character and leaves besides a
husband, two sons and two dangh-
ters, a wide circle of friends to
mourn her loss. One of her
daughters, Miss Helen is abroad,
where she is completing her edu-
cation. The funeral was held on
Tuesday afternoon, the remains
being inferred at West Nottingham
cemetery.

Col. Foard And His Bird Dog.

Col. Samuel B. Foard, of Elkton,
who is an ardent sportsman, each
season visits Columbus, Texas, on
a cunning and business expedition,
always taking his prize bird dog
along. The Colonel having ''pullo
manages to get pass for his dog,
which entities the canine to ride in
the baggage cars without charge.
On two occasions the baggage mas
tiers have refused to honor that pass
and the owner of the dog has
been compelled to pay expressage.
On returning to his home in Elkton,
Col. Foard promptly filed protests,
on one occasion placing an attach
ment upon an express car and
having his money refunded, and on
the second occasion presenting such
clear case that the money was
promptly returned.

Bought County Rights.

Last summer number of farm
ers and others in the vicinity OF
Elkton purchased "cOunty rights"
to sell patent window fastener
from agents who cauvassed that
section, each purchaser giving two
notes, each for $144. The first
notes recently came due, but a
number of the farmers refused to
pay them, contenting that they had
been defrauded. Suits to recover

DR.. LANE ACCEPTS.
Will Become Head OF The Jacob
Tome Institute.

DIR. Francis r. Lane, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, has accepted the direc-
torship of the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute, at Port Deposit, to which pos
ition he was unanimously elected
by the board of trustees on April
z, and will take charge of that in
stitution on July l. The newly
elected director has had a very sue
cessful career as an educator, and
his administration of the Polytech-
mic Preparatory School has made
his pupils reluctant to part with
him.
He will succeed DR.. Abram W.
Harris, who resigned to accept the
presidency of the Northwestern
University.
DIR. Lane was not an applicant
for the position. He has made a
wonderful success of the Brooklyn
school, to the priacipalship of which
he was called four years ago. Un-
der his direction the attendance in
creased from a small number to
525 pupils. Previous to his re
moval to Brooklyn he was at the
head of the Washington High
School, and in that work he was
very successful. He is man of
marked creative ability, and the
trustees of the Jacob Tome Institute
think that he is admirably adapted
for the dictatorship of that
institution.
One of the reasons that influ-
enced DIR. Lane in accepting the
offer of Tome was the fact that his
wife's health has not been good,
and he hopes that milder climate
will prove beneficial. Mrs. Lane,
whose full name is Elinor Mccarthy
Lane, is an author of note, her
most famous works being ''Nancy
Stair" and ''Mills of God" A
new story from her pen has just
been published. Mrs. Lane is a
native of Maryland, and her return
to this State viii add to the literary
lustre OF the State.e She was mar
ried in Washington in 1892. She
began to write at the age of l6, her
early work consisting of stories Of
Southern life.

TO BUILD A FISHWAY.
McCall's Ferry Co. Offers To Re-
move Objections To Dam.


The McCall's Ferry Power Com
pany, which proposes to construct
a dam 5000 feet long and 30 feet
in height across the Susquehanna
river, near McCall's Ferry, and
proposes to build a gigantic dydFo
electric plant, comes forward with
an offer which may remove the
opposition of fishermen to the pro-
ject.
The fishermen claim that dam
80 feet high would prevent fish,
especially shad, from ascending the
Susquehanna river.
Injunction proceedings have been
threatened all along by the York
and Lancaster county fishermen,
who have effected a protective or
ganization. The McCall's Ferry
Power Company now offers to build
in connection with the dam a fish.
way OF any design approved by the
fish commissioners of Pennsylvania.
The promoters of the company are
confident that when the fishermen
are made acquainted with their
plan the opposition to the erection
of the dam will abate.
