library is not for the cultured few only,
but for broad, great, general public
benefit, ministering to the educated it
is true, but creating desire for educa-
ton in the many, and for the intellectual
development of the young especially.

Il is greatly regretted that our Town
Council is not in harmony, and causes a
feeling OF unrest among the citizens
generally. The contention that the
papers of the new members were not
filed on the day specified by law,
was not due to any negligence on their
part Strangers are coming to town
with expressions of approval Of what
we have to offer, but disrupted ex-
ecutive board will not encourage them
to remain with US.

Mr.. Merrill Morris. a grocer. took a
shotgun and chased his son-in-law. l..
w. Jones, of Louisville. KY, through
the principal streets. Jones having to
take refuge at the Peninsula Hotel.
Mr.. Jones and his wife, who was for
merly Miss Estella NJ. Morris, returned
to the fathers home from the West,
and Jones, who is reported to be a we'll
TODD manufacturer and inventor,
thought Salisbury was quiet and tried
to persuade his wife to accompany him
to New York and Philadelphia for trip,
which she refused to do. The refusal
caused words, in which the father-in-
law took hand. Finally Mr.. Morris
got his gup, after which the chase be-
gan, in which Morris gathered many re-
cruits in the pursuit. Mrs. Jones took
the midnight train north to escape the
trouble.
Jones. clad with what clothes he could
grab in his hurried exit from the Morris
home, stood upon the streets this morn
ing. saying that he was tired of married
life and thought that he had been treated

Schooner Sunk By Collision.

Bearing down on the smaller vessel
through the fog early Wednesday morn
ing, the big schooner. Everett drove a
great, gaping hole in the side of the
three masted schooner j. Dallas Marvil
Off Sandy Point Light. The Marvel
went down in a few minutes, after
Capt. Charles C. Banks and his crew
of four men had hurriedly escaped from
the sinking craft.
The Everett was bound from Boston
for Curtis Bay. She dug hole more
than six feet deep in the side of the
Marvil. The crew of the Marvil was
taken aboard of the Everett.
The accident occurred shortly after 1
o. clock Wednesday morning about one
half mile east of the lighthouse during
a fog. As soon as the vessel was struck
Capt. A. S. Abbott, the master of the
Everett, threw a line to the crew. Capt.
Charles c. Banks of the Marvil feared,
however. that one of the masts would
fall at that point and trusted to his
yawl.
AS the yawl was being lowered it was
partly filled with water, and the crew
experienced considerable difficulty in
keeping it afloat. Hardly had they got
ten a few feet from the foundered YES
sci when the mast fell and went down.
A rope ladder was then thrown to
them and they climbed into the schoon-
err. which took them into Curtis Bay.
The sunken vessel ran between Balti-
nd 2atul.ttpx. hsstt OF
Bethel, Del, about q years ago and
was reconstructed last January. 1t had
a capacity of 1852 tons net. c. c. Paul
4 Co. were its agents.
Elmer Hayman (colored.) one Of the
members of the crew, was asleep at the
time of the collision, and he was
aroused Just in the nick Of time to leave
the sinking vessel.

Getting Ready for Ocean City
Season.

These days are busy ones at Ocean
City, the famous Eastern Shore resort.
Carpenters, painters and laborers are
working day and night to get things
ready for the opening Of the season.
The boardwalks are being repaired and
several new cement sidewalks are being
put in. The hotels are being overhaul
ed and the boarding houses fixed up so
as to be ready to accommodate the big
crowds which are expected.
From present indications all the hotels
win be open and most of the cottages
along the boardwalk have been rented.
There are still a few ON Baltimore
Avenue for rent, but il is expected that
by the time the season is open all these
will be engaged. There are several big
Conventions already booked to meet at
Ocean City and the management Of the
several hotels are trying for several
more big meetings. All the regular
boarding houses which have been open
for guests during the several past years
will be ready to take hoarders when
the season begins.
Mr.. Ayers, manager of the big Ocean
Pier. is making arrangements to add
several new attractions to his pier this
Summer and will have every thing in
readiness when the season begins. Last
season this pier was great attraction
to Ocean City and Mr.. Ayers made a
great success of the enterprise. He
be in a better position this year TO
please his patrons.
The Baltimore, Chesapeake q ATTAIN
tic Railway Company are making some
improvements in their facilities TO
handle the big crowds expected. The
Company have been figuring for some
time TO place passenger station
further up the Beach so as to accommo-
date the cottagers and people stopping
at the hotels up the boardwalk.

Maryland State Teachers Association
will be held June % to July at Ocean
City. The dates have been so selected
that the delegates can attend the meet
ing of the New England Association in
Boston the following week, and the
place has been selected because the
former gatherings at Ocean City have
been 50 popular.
In arranging the program the execu.
tive committee has provided for three
simultaneous meetings, for rural, city
and high school topics, for Wednesday
and Thursday mornings instead Of hold
ing general meetings on these days as
formerly. The Atlantic Hotel, the
Plimhimmon Auditorium and the Public
School Building will be used for these
gatherings.
Among those who will deliver ad.
dresses will be:
State Superintendent NJ. Bates Ste
phens.
Assistant State Superintendent B.
X. Purdum.
DR.. George D. Strayer, of Columbia
University.
Superintendent of the Baltimore
Schools James II. Van Sickle.
DIR. H. S. West, supervisor of High

1t is not quite all work and no play at
these annual gatherings of the Mary
land teachers. The first session of the
State Association was held forty-three
years ago, and annually since 1867.
Sometimes in the Western Maryland
mountains and at other times along the
seashore, the Maryland educators have
been getting together. These assem-
blages have been both pleasant and pro-
fitable. To people who are in earnest
and are not mere dilletantes, the very
highest form of pleasure is to be found
in discussing the work in which they are
engaged and in the interchange of views
with those enlisted in the same calling.
At no place do they seem to enjoy
themselves more than at Ocean City.

POCOmOke Auto Turns Over
With 7 Young Men.

Miraculous was the escape from death
Of seven of Pocomoke's prominent young
men, while riding on the stone road
extending two miles out from Pocomoke
City. Sunday afternoon.
The party was composed of Clarence
Robertson, Frank d. Young. Chauncey
Turner, Milton Clogg, Norris Young.
Roy Gutherie and Stanley Lambden.
At the time the accident occurred the
machine was registering % miles an
hour. A light rain caused the wheels
to skid on the slick surface of the road
and it headed for straight-on collision
with a tree. Quick action in steering
aside caused them to miss the tree, but
sent them across the road, and in turn
ing to keep out of small ditch the
wheels hit stone culvert and capsized
them, turning the machine entirely up
side down and pinning all the parties
underneath.
William Mills, in front of whose home
the accident occurred, ran to their as.
sistance and freed some of them, who
helped to turn the machine off OF the
more unfortunate, who were caught
fast. Roy Gutherie, an apprentice in
machine shop, was learning to run the
machine, under the instruction of Clar-
ence Robertson, one of the proprietors
of the pocomoke Foundry and Machine
Works, the owners of the automobile.
1t was Robertson who grabbed the wheel
and saved them from hitting the tree.
Norris Young and Roy Gutherie were
the more seriously hurt, the others
escaping with only scratches and bruises,
and if complications from internal in
juries do not develop. speedy recovery
is promised for all, there being no bones
broken. An inventory of damages is
placed at around $3.50.

terrain Sunday-schools of Snow Hill. The
weather was bad, as il rained hard all
the afternoon and continued till nearly

school was very interesting, and the
floral decorations we're complete. In
the morning Rev. Mr.. Prettyman

B. r. Purnell. The usual allegations of
unsoundness of mind and undue influence
are cited by the attorneys representing
the petitioners. During his life time
DIR. Purnell disposed of the greater
part of his estate, and the amount in
volved in this proceeding is compare
lively small. BY the will everything
was left to Mrs. Purnell. who has since
died, leaving her sister, Miss Mary l..
