Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-The decision of the judges at the meet
ing of the Sweet Air Lyceum when the subject
of whipping in the public schools was discussed
has met with much adverse criticism on the
part of some people. They are opposed to this
form of punishment in the schools and think
the judges made mistake in rendering de-
cision in favor of it. Some say that men who
have no children of their own are not capable
judges to decide such question where the
children of other people are to be made the
victims of the rod. We think our correspon-
dent labors under mistake. Our idea is that
the judges in such matters are to decide
which side presents the strongest arguments
and render their decision in accordance with
that. 1t may be that in this case they so de-
cided, without giving thought to their own
personal views for or against corporal punish
ment-EDs.

Tenth District.-Several young men who
live near the Baltimore and Hartford county
line have been doing some excellent shooting
the past fall, and although they seldom miss
their mark. they have the greatest respect for
the game laws. They have never been seen
hunting when the season is closed or on Sum-
days. This is more than can be said of others
who live nearer the excellent wardens of these
counties
At shooting match held at Hess, Hartford
county, January 1st, several people who
claim to be good shots, refused to shoot against
these same young men because they win near
ly everything they shoot for.
There are trappers throughout the counties
who set lots of steel traps every winter for
skunks, but they really catch many more rab-
bits than their intended prey 1t hardly seems
fair for our excellent game wardens, who take
so much pains to prosecute hunters for killing
game out of season, to allow trappers to do the
same simply because they claim to be setting
their traps for an animal that is not protected
by the law. B.

Fine Church Destroyed by Fire.-A let

"Grace M. P. Church, in this place, was de-

department arrived the building was mass Of

flames from spreading to the parsonage and
large frame building adjoining. So rapidly did
the fire progress that even the Bible and the
pulpit could not be saved.
REV. s. A. Hoblitzell, a former pastor of
the church, filled the pulpit at this mornings

no one felt the loss more keenly than he did.

architectural beauty and one of the most valu
able in the entire conference district. The lot
on which the church was located is the most
beautiful in the town. The church was built
of white pine at a cost of several thousand dol

other denominations of the town have prom

furnace is supposed to have caused the fire.

The Vaccination of Calves to Prevent
Tuberculosis.-The vaccination of calves for
the prevention of the spread and the eventual
is f to be one of the most importane matters to
be taken up by the Farmers League of Mary
land, which will hold its annual meeting
shortly. The efforts of the Maryland farmers
will be directed toward State aid in this mat
ter, and it is probable that some steps will be
taken toward bringing it before the Legisla-
ture. The plan was suggested by the Junior
Gunpowder Club, and is receiving the atten-
ton of the raisers of milk cattle throughout
the State. The farmers wish to get the State
to furnish the vaccine material, and it is also
desired that the veterinary surgeons of the
State become familiar with the process and use
of the vaccine.

-phe Belair RoaA-eo- be Put In Condition
AT well attended meeting of the Perry Hall
Improvement Association, held Friday night
Sd inst, it decided to begin active operations at
once to put the condemned portion of the Bel
air road in safe condition for travel.
This road was condemned by sheriff's jury
nearly two years ago and since that time, it is
alleged, the company owing it has made no ef-
fort to put it in the condition prescribed by its
charter. The residents of Perry Hall have petit
toned the County Commissioners on two or
three occasions to get the county to accept the
road as a public highway. Owing to proposed
legislation which, if favorably considered will
result in the State acquiring and maintaining
as State roads all turnpikes in Baltimore coun-
ty, the County Commissioners have declined to
take over the road.
A number of dangerous holes have been
washed in the road, destroying the macadam
surface i'll many places and making it danger
Gus for travel.
At the association meeting Mr. Henry JAS
per was elected the associations supervisor to
take full charge ofthe work of repairing the
road Practically all the residents of Perry
Hall and persons using the road north of that
point expressed their willingness to begin work
on the road. within the next ten days.
Unexpected that the County Commissioners
will contribute something toward putting the
road in condition. They will be waited on by
a committee with that object in view.

that milk producers, doctors of medicine and
all bodies trying to prevent tuberculosis inter-
est themselves in the passage of bill before
the Legislature to accomplish these results"
The origin of fires was also considered by the
club and the subject of the manufacture and
sale of matches was fully discussed. The

caused by matches, passed the following reso-
luton:
