Reappointed.

Among the local appointments hand
ed down by Governor Warfield yester.
day were those of the two magistrates
for Annapolis, Mr.. Charles G.. Field.
meyer and John N Davis. These
magistrates are Te-appointed AL
though there was strong pressure
brought TO bear for the appointment of
others well endorsed for the position,
yet the people cannot fail to approve
of the Governors action in refusing
to make any changes at this time in
the middle of the term, especially as
no charges were preferred against the
present incumbents. The Governor S
action is proper. Squires Feldmeyer
and Davis have performed their duty
faithfully and efficiently. Under the
circumstances the Governor could not
see his way clear to make any changes
Although the men recommended were
of sterling worth the Governor did
not deem it wise or expedient to make
any changes at this time. Squire
Feldmeyer and Squire Davis will
doubtless ill their respective positions
with increased efficiency.

HARD WORK, POOR PAY

Over Halt Of Episcopal Ministers in
State Get Less That $500
Year.

Rutland, June An appeal which is
being made in several Of the churches
of Vermont for contributions 10 the
fund for aged and inhfm clergymcn
brings to light some interesting az.
ures concerning the salaries for which
the majority OF Episcopal clergymen in
the Green Mountain state are working.
There are only four men in Che diocese
who get over $1,000 year, These re.
ceiye $1,000, $500, $500 and 81 400,
respectively. -Four scrgymen receive
less than $1,000 and five less than 5000
while ~, or more than half Of tho whole
number Of Episcopalians in Vermont, re.
ceive less than 500.
In many eases the ministers have ia
pay their house rent out Of their sal

FOUR BRICKS AND LIBERTY.

The escape of the three prisoners from
the Orleans county jail at Newport re-
Gently was accomplished as easily as
blowing over a house Of cards, Judging
from the explanation given by the New
port Express and Standard in its de-
Tense of the iaiIer In the first place the
walls of the buildings are four bricks
thick and have no lining, in the portion
pf the building where the men effected
their escape. This portion of the prison
is not used for the confinement Of pris.
oners, but the bath tubs are there. Fol-
lowing perfectly natural desire pris-
oner might ask for bath. The request
being granted and the guard obligingly
remaining on the outside of the room,
there was then nothing but four bricks
between the prisoner aud free air. Lit
Tie wonder that three dare-deyiIs should
have taken the bathing opportunity for
fleeing from the prison Furthermore,
il the inmates Of the prison had had
accompliccs outside Of the walls there
would have been an easy method OF
rescue. for it would have been a slight
matter TO work from the outside with
tools appropriate for cutting out the
bricks. Once in the building the accom-
pices might have overpowcred the
guards and let loose the whole prison
ii they cared. But there were no ac-
completes on this occasion, and the three
prisoners wcre equal to the occasion
with their jack knives. -Four bricks and
a little mortar were nothing but a few
scratches, and then liberty. The incident
shows how little matters are sometime.
overlooked in our jails. From all re-
ports, the Newport hospital for cure
II criminals Is well constructed, will
the one exception that the interior Of
the walls is not lined with steel o.
some other resisting substance. OF
course, the weakness will be remediet
and the walls made securel Mean
while il would not be out Of place fol
guardians Of other prisons TO take q
look at their walls, IN order to prevent
a like disgrace falling on their shoul
