FIGHTING BOOZE.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, cit
is understood, is preparing to aid the
Anti-Saloen League of Maryland in
opposing saloons at its terminal points
and have already taken up the work at
several places. At Brunswick the rail-
road company is on the side of the fac
ton, which is opposing the new char
ter for the city, on the ground that the
proposed charter omits the prohibition
of saloons in that place. For fourteen
years there has not been a saloon in
Brunswick, which is railroad town,
peopled largely by the employees Of the
B. & 0. and their families.
Many ofthem are enginemen and
trainmen. having in their keeping the
lives Of thousands Of passengers. 1t has
been the policy Of the railroad company
to keep as far az possible the tempta-
ton Of strong drink from these men in
the interest Of the safety Of life and
property.
The large amount paid out in Bruins
wick monthly by the railroad com.
pany in salaries is constant attraction
for would-be liquor dealers. The fact
that the male population Of iBruns'
wick il engaged in the handling of rail.
road trains makes 1t to the interest Of
the travelling public that these railroad
men be subject as little as possible to
the temptation to drink. This phrase
of the question gives q more than local
interest.

Board of Public works.

As.was announced the state board of
public works had meeting here on
Monday last, Feb. 10. Tie company
travelled in private cars, some arriving
on Sunday and others arriving on
Monday morning.
The partyiwas composed of Gov. w.
NJ. o. Dawson, Audetor, A. G..
Sherer; Attorney General, Clark May;
Treasurer, Newton Ogden, State Super
intendent, Thos. c. Miller; State Tax
Commissioner, G. w. Dillon, his as
sistant Senator Dorst and Stenogra-
phcr. The meeting was for the three
counties of Jefferson, Berkeley and
Morgan aud there was strong dele
cation present from each of the coun-
ties. The meeting was held In the court
house and began about te n o'clock
The board stated that Jefferson county
w ould be heard first, then Morgan and
then Berkeley. The board soon con-
WINGED everybody that they meant to
have the land assessed ut its true and
actual value. The assessor from each
county was put upon the stand and
was questioned closely to his work.
How he arrived at the values he put
upon the property and in each case as
to whether or not he had assessed all
property at its true and actual value.
Early in the proceedings the fact came
out that the gentlemen from Jefferson
and Morgan counties were under the
impression that the valuations IN
Berkeley was considerable lower than
In their counties and there was consid-
cradle questioning, by anybody who de-
sired to ask questions, In an informal
manner.
Each county insisted that their
property was all assessed up to it's true
and actual value. Jefferson and Nor
gan counties consumed the entire fore
noon and when the board adjourned 1t
did so to meet At o'clock to hear
Berkeley. The Investigation ran until
about o'clock and the board carried
away all the evidence reserving it's de-
cision. rhe decision was question Of
doubt. Some predicting that Berkeley
would be raised and others just as con-
fidently predicted that IT would not be.
The facts were brought out that the
lands of Jefferson are valued on an
average at s3l per acre, Berkeley at sl3
and Morgan at 81. These values are ex-
elusive of Improvements and on the
land only.
The figures at hand showed that
there is in Jefferson nearly 10000 acres
of land not on the land books at all
and never has been while Berkeley
showed that all her land was on the
land books with a possible exception
Of probably 1000. This, 1t was sug-
gested, was taken up by the turnpikes
in the county. The gentlemen from
Jefferson stated that they could not &C.
count for the heavy shortage excepting
that there was a Large strip Of their
county east Of the Shenandoah river,
mountain land that nobody owned and
was not worth owning. The Berkeley
people replied that they have larger
acreage of the same quality of land all
Of which was all assessed.

Holyoke, Mass.-Because they have
husbands, Mrs. William e. Webster
and Mrs. Mary Belle Metcalf, for the
past % and % years, respectively,
teachers in the HolyOke public
schools, were dropped from the teach
ing force of the city.
They were both reelected for the
year by the school board last June,
but Tuesday night the board voted to
request their designations, acting on
the recommendation Of the second
district subcommittee. which ordered
them to resign week ago. Wednes-
day morning they were dismissed by
Supt. James J. O'DOnnell, who called
on them personally at their school
pulsion.
No reason is given for dropping
either teacher, but they surmise that
they have been compelled to resign
because they were married and had
husbands to support them.
Mrs. Metcalf for years has been
taking care of an invalid sister, and
before that for years assisted in the
support Of her mother.
Both teachers have taught almost
two generations of Holyoke people,
and they have a large and stanch fol,
lowing. Many influential citizens
have now rallied to their support.
Mrs. Metcalf was so distressed by
her dismissal that she had nothing to
say. Mrs. Webster was quite willing
to express her feelings in words when
Supt. ODonnell called on her to in
form her of the action Of the school
board. 1t was admitted that the rea-
son for deposing her was the fact
that she was married.
Both teachers have married for sew
eral years. There is a question now
if they are not entitled to their full
salaries for year, as they were elect
ed for that period

New York.-The trial of Harry X.
Thaw for the killing of Stanford White
will not be reached before December
Some very famous trials have been
conducted by District Attorney Jerome
in the Christmas season since he took
office, and it is possible young Thaw
may have to answer to the law for
his crime in the holidays.
The district attorney has said he
will, in all probability, take personal
charge Of the trial. 1t will be impos-
sible for Mr.. Jerome to devote his at.
tion. Even If he should not be 4
candidate, his services as a speaker
will be in demand, no matter how the
party bosses straighten out the pres.
ent tangle. So Thaw must wait.
Although Thaw killed White on
June 25 and has been in the tombs
only a little more than two months,
the prospect of waiting perhaps three
months longer for trial depresses him.
With his strange ideas about his po-
sition and the power Of money, he
imagined that killing Stanford White
would be like having a fight with n
cabman, getting arrested, bailed out
and discharged in a police court the
next morning. He looked forward to
a speedy trial. and a triumphant ac-
quittal, and is greatly nettled over the
delay.

Skeleton of Man Found.

Braintree, Mass.-The skeleton of a
man who had evidently been dead
many years was found in the woods
about 300 feet from Franklin street
recently.
Medical Examiner John C. Fraser
of Weymouth and state dective John
Fl. Scott of this town were sum,
moned
DR.. Fraser said the man was about
oir foot tall and of about middle ose.
In the pockets of the badly decom-
posed clothing were found SO cents
and a rusty knife. Near the body
were found two quart bottles with no
mark on them except the words full
quart blown into the glass.
The clothing was of a rough tex
ture and the feet were inclosed in
lcng-legged boots. On the head was
heavy woolen cap of the style which
pulls down over the ears. One of
the coins bore the date 1893. From
the clothing and the cap DR.. Fraser
concluded that the man died during
cold weather.
There were no marks about the
skull to indicate that the man died
of foul play.
The spct where the body was found
is short distance from Five Cor
ners, where Miss Mehitable White
was murdered, and story was start
ed that the skeleton might be that of
John Thompson, her hired man, who
disappeared at the time OF the mur-
der and has not been heard from
since. The murder, however was com
mitted in 1886 and the date of the
coin in the mans pocket disproved
the Thompson theory.
1t was reported to detective Scott
that a shoemaker named Myers disap-
peared from the town about eight
years ago.
From an investigation into Meyers
mode of living, detective ScCtt came
to the conclusion that the clothing
was not such as would be worn by
man Of Myers station of life. The
skeleton was buried by the town au-
thorities.

Cruiser Boston Safe

Bellingham, Wash.-The U. S. cruis-
er Boston, damaged Sept. on Peapod
rock, will start for Bremerton navy
yard Sept 6, under her own steam.
The divers discovered the leak in
the hull. 1t is well under the bottom
and is four feet long. One of the
plates was broken and it is difficult to
stop the flow of water. Oaium wrap
ped in canvas was inserted in the
crack and this was compressed with
hydraulic Jacks, plates being placed
on over the place. The flow of water
is so nearly checked that no further
damage is feared. The services of the
tug Pawtucket, which came here to
tow the cruiser to Bremerton, will not
be needed.
