DEATH OF JOHN T. MORRIS.
Member of Baltimore School Board
FOrty-One Years.

BALTIMORE. March 29.--John T. Nor
ris. senior member of the law firm OF
Hinkley Norris, president of the board
of school commissioners for twenty-seven
years. and d member Of that body forty
one years, died at > o'clock yesterday
morning at his home, 313 North Paca
street. Death was due 10 old age. ana
Mr. Morris had been i'll only three or
four days. For some time he had been
confined to his home because of difficulty
in walking, but he continued to see some
of his clients and transact some business
at his home.
Many years-and surely the best years
of MIR. Morris life We're devoted to public
education His great ambition was to es-
tablish good public school system for
the city, and he succeeded. The climax OF
his career as an educator came June 1,
1897. when a great celebration was given
by the schools of Baltimore in honor of
his seventeen birthday. He had declined
reappointment as member of the school
board. and the regrets of the people of
Baltimore were expressed in miny tender
ways A silver loving cup pre- rented him
on the occasion by the teachers of the
schools was cherished by him.
Mr. Morris was never married. He is
survived by a cousin. Mrs. Margaret Will
son, who lived with him many years. and
two nephews, MesSrs. George III. and John
T. Morris of New York. who are sons of
his dead brother. William II. Morris.
He was born in Baltimore. June 4, 1877.
His father was of Irish and his mother
of Scotch descent. Both died in his early
youth-one when he was seven and the
other when he was fifteen years old.
In his thirteenth year he entered Penn
sylvania College. a Lutheran institution
at Gettysburg. where he took the full
course and graduated in 1Sii.

Ship Island is long, low narrow sandy
strip of land running parallel with the
shore. about twelve miles distant, and
with string of similar islands incloses
that portion of the Gulf of Mexico known
as Mississippi sound. We heard a good

war, for when Gen. Butter took command
of New Orleans he utilized il a
desirable citizens and others who gave
him trouble. The federal government
built formida BILE fortress there also 1t
was called Fort Massachusetts. and was
intended to defend the prison camp, but
the people here tell me that no gun was
ever mounted upon its walls. Ship Is
land is uninhabited now except for d few
fishermen, but the old fort remains in
tact and the prison is fitted up as a
quarantine station ready for use when
ever it may be needed by the officials of

GOSPEL OF DICKENS"
Rev. James B. Clayton Praises In
fuence of the Novelist.

The Gospel of Dickens was discussed
by the Rev. James b. Clayton. acting
pastor of the First Baptist Church, in his
sermon last evening. He said that Dick
ems did so much for Christianity and the
human race that none hut an archanSel
can really comprehend it.
Dickens laughed the world into good
ness, he remarked. and though his work
was human, he was endowed with a
divine spirit. Dickens. he declared, pos
sessed the greatest heart of any man
since the time of Christ. Dickens work,
he said, was in the best sense religious,
for he sympathized with mankind; he
loved children: he had good will for the
world, and he hated religious shams.

New Counterfeit Bill.

A new counterfeit S. note, SO
crude in workmanship that it
cannot escape detection by the
eyes of careful handler of
money, has just been discovered
and reported to the secret
service bureau. The note pur-
ports to be of the series of 1907,
and bears a portrait of Andrew
Jackson. It is a poor photo-me-
chanical production on a single
piece of paper. No attempt was
made to initiate the silk threads
of the genuine, and all the fine
work is badly blurred. The
counterfeit first came to the not
ice of an employee of the Irving
National Bank, of New York
city, and report of the matter
was sent to Chief Wilkie. An
investigation was at once inau-
gurated in an effort to ascertain
the source of the spurious
money.

Filipino hopes of liberty blast
ed when, on June IA, the amend
ment offered by Senator Stone,
Of Missouri, to grant indepen-
cence to the Philippines in Is
years, was rejected, every Re
publican senator present voting
against it. Senator Newlands
made a brilliant argument in
favor of the amendment in which
he predicted that the holding of
the island will eventually in
volve this country in an inter-
national conflict. He asserted
that there was no glory in their
conquest and that there is no
profit in holding them-two self
evident facts that seem to have
impressed themselves on the
minds of pretty nearly everybody
in this country except United
States senators land individuals
or corporations wishing to hold
the islands, for selfish motives
of exploitation.

State Normal and
Industrial COLLEGE,.

Every year shows a steady
growth in this institution devoted
to the higher education of the
women of North Carolina. Dur
ing the past year the McIver Me-
mortal Building was erected and
used for class purposes, This
addition to the material equip
ment of the College greatly in
creased the efficiency of the
work.
The College last year had a to-
tai enrolment of 979 students.
Eighty-eight of the ninety-eight
counties of the State had repre-
sentatives in the student body.
Nine-tenths of all the gradu-
ates of this institution have
taught or are now teaching in the
schools Of North Carolina.
The dormitories are furnished
by the State and board is provid-
ed at actual cost. Two hundred
appointments to dormitories. ap-
portioned among the several
counties according to school pop
ulation, will be awarded to appli-
cants about the middle of July.
Students who wish to attend this
institution next year should make
application as early as possible,
as the capacity of the dormitories
is limited.
