Board of Trade In Session.

There was a meeting of the Board
of Trade in the court room on Tues
dav evening last. The attendance
was not large, but those present
were representative citizens. The
three subjects considered were
Reduction of fire insurance rates,
now that the town is better equipped
for fighting fire, an overall factory
and a new High School building.
Secretary Paulett expressed the opin-
ion that insurance rates would be re
duced the hope is that the overall
factory would be established. and a
committee of three from the Board
was named to cooperate with Dr.
Jarman. Supt. Atkinson and Profes-
,or Mcdonald to formulate plan
for the building, the work OF the
schools and to make report 10 some
future meeting of the Board. When
this has been done, a mass meeting
of the citizens of the town Will De

building will open in dead earnest

Tackling one OF the great ques-
tions of the day, and one which has
taxed the strength OF the great men
of the Nation for more than one
hundred years, Shall our Senators
be chosen by direct vote of the peo-
ple,"? representatives of the Argus
and Cunningham Literary Societies
of the Normal, met in debate in the
Auditorium of the school on
Thursday evening of last week and
contested for the hOnOrs of the Oc-
casion with the enthusiasm and dash
of those who took part in the Olym-
plan games of old. 1t was our privi-
lege with many others to share in
the pleasures of the hour and wit
ness the crossing of lances on lit
erary field by maidens fair who bore
themselves with knightly chivalr
and knightly courage. Graceful Of
mien. quick at repartee, happy in ex
preston, and at home with the stir
ring theme they stirred all hearts
into sympathetic beat and made the
older Of us wonder how those young
heads could carry al they knew
on this subject of National import
aud which has yet to be settled by
the so-called statesmen of the pass
ing hour OF of the coming future.
How glibly and forcefully were the
facts of history bearing on the sub
iect dealt with. and when girl met
girl how the spanks did fly. Al
the "rooters" were there in goodly
and gushing numbers. and when a
Cunninghamite scored point how
the Welkin was made to ring, AMI
when an Argusite struck back with
the keen edge of her bright blade
how even the rafters were made TO
rattle. In our unprejudiced and un-
biased enthusiasm we cheered
each debater. and when the commit
tee on award gave the laurel to the
champions of the Argus. We regret
ted that there were not two laurels
and four to reach the goal at one
and the same time. No blush of
shane rested upon the faces OF the
Cunninghamites. however, as they
messed close at the heels Of those
lust ahead and we could almost hear
them say. "If we had another quar-
fer stretch before us we would
reverse the order and lead rather
than follow"
II was an occasion of genuine in
terest. unique in our experience and
we did very much enjoy listening to
the Misses as they quoted from Ma
olson. the Juniors from Jefferson
the young heroines from Hamilton

Congregation Split Over Red
CaSSOCkS

The split in the parish of st. Paul's
Protestant Episcopal Church, Centre
vile, one of the Oldest congregations
in the State, over the introduction Of
certain innovations IN the form of SER
vices by the rector, Rev. Walter B.
Stehl, resulted in the presentation, at
a called meeting Of the vestry, OF a
petition that the rector forbid the wear
ing of the red cassocks and discontinue
the practice of kneeling when approach
ing or passing the altar. The petition,
which was signed by q of the congre-
CATION, failed Of adoption after con-
siderable discussion, during which the
rector disputed the right Of the congre-
CATION to bring the matter before the
vestry. He quoted from the Church
canon in support Of his contention and
announced his determination to continue
the form that had been opposed. The
majority of the vestry stood by him in
this and also voted againt the motion
that he reply in writing to the petition.
Two of the vestrymen-E. NJ. Forman
and Edwin II. Brown. Jr.-have resign
because of the controversy.
st. Paul's Church was erected long
before Queen Anne's county was form
ed. About 200 years ago it was re-
moved from its old site at Hibernia to
its present location, on Liberty street.
