and they finally separated by mutual
consent. Mrs. Osbourne returned to lndi-
annapolis with her three small children in
1871 and soon after she went to Paris to
study painting. in which she had been in
ter.sted since sirlhoou.
She remained in Paris three years,
achieving some repute AZ an artist. Her
youngest child died and osbourne went To
Europe to be with his wife in their be-
reavemeiIt Their quarrels were patched

Meanwhile, In her Paris days, she had
met Robert Louis Stevenson. They met
at Gretz, "A village on the edge OF the

back from the edge OF the grave. She
obtained a divorce from her husband the
following spring and was married TO

Philip Schell Badly Beaten.

Charles Strailman, who is charged
with badly beating up Philip Schell. the
well known drayman, of this city, was
before Justice Dennis recently and
through his attorney. Mr.. D. Princeton
Buckley, was released on his own recog-
'nizance, pending the action OF the grand
jury.
1t is alleged that Schell on Sunday
morning drove two of his horses to
field opposite the car barn on East Pat
rick street, and when about to leave
them pasturing in The field he was warn
ed by Strailman that the ground was
rented by himself and he said that Schel
could not pasture his horses IN that field
A battle of words quickly followed,
which soon developed into a hand to-
hand fight Strailman apparently got
the best of Schell, Judging from the lat.
ter's eye at court, and law suit fol-
lowed
The case will, in all probability, come
up during the September term of court.

Concerning Goats.

The prominent position occupied by
the scapegoat in the recent news calls at
tentlon to the fact that other members of
the goat family are doing themselves
proud, likewise.
Particularly is this true of the Angora
that creature which looks like a sheep
dressed in the skin OF an exaggerated
Persian cat. A dozen years ago there
were half million of Angoras in the
United States. Now there ale over
1850, 900, and race suicide has not vet
made its appearance among them. Mo-
hair-which appears to be the technical
name for goat heeces-is increasing in
price and popularity, and through a con.
siderable section of the great southwest
the Angora Is superseding the sheep
In behalf Of the newer animal, it is
claimed that the goats are harder than
sheep, require less attention, live on
coarser food, are less subject to dis.
eases, produce more clothing material,
and make more meat of quite as high a
quality as mutton. Perhaps these claims
need scaling down a bit to come within
the bounds of scientific accuracy. but, at
any rate, the goat is multiplying and fast
spreading all over the land, and it is well
that this is tue.

tween $1,000 and $1,000. On Friday

The bond of Mr.. Matthias, as trustee, was
fixed at $4,000.

100000 Required For the |
County Schools.

Approximately $500, 900, or to be more
exact, $Ioo, 900, will be required to con-
duct the public schools of Frederick
county for the next wear, according to the
budget of school expenses prepared by
the School Board at its meeting on We'd
nesday, June 3rd This is a gain OF
about $4,000 over the past year, al.
though $1,000 of the increase is made
necessary by the increases IN the teach
ers' salaries authorized by the last Leg
iSlature
The School Board will ask the Board
of County Commissioners for $I2o, 600 to
be used for the schools. and the remain
der of the money will be received from
the State and from the other sources.
Under a law, which was passed for
Frederick county, the School Board can
demand of Frederick county the sum of
thirty cents on each 500 of assessable
property for general school purposes and
seven for new buildings, or a total OF 81
cents on each 500. This would mean
about Sis, 600 for this year. In addi-
ton to the above amounts the county
must pay for the High Schools in the
county, which during the past year cost
about $4,000. The Board of County
Commissioners have asked that the
county charge tuition for the High School
students, but it is claimed that if this is
done the State appropriation for the
High Schools cannot be secured by the
county, and that sc the county enforced
the tuition payment, it would lose more
from its State appropriation than it
would gain.
The School Board endorsed the plan

works on the night of July 4th.
1t was reported that site of eight
acres for the Thurmont High School
could be purchased for 81, 500. No ac-
ton was taken. Because of the high
price asked for the land for the site of
school at Wolfsville, $500 and $3.50 an
acre, there will be delay IN the plan for
new building there, with the hope that
cheaper site may be secured.
Mr.. Frank d. Harshman, of Walkers
vile, was elected Grade Supervisor of
the schools of Frederick county, in the
place of Mr.. G.. Lloyd Palmer, who has
been elected Superintendent of the
county schools.
Miss Ella V. Kreig was elected Pr-
mary Supervisor of the county schools.

ness the selection of clerk to the Board

improvements For Mary a n d
School.

The building of the Maryland School
for the Deaf will be given a complete
overhauling during the summer. That
was decided upon recently at the annual
meeting of the Board of Visitors of the
school. The improvements will consist
largely of interior painting and changes
and repairs to the boiler and the boiler
room.
Because of the inability of the Board
of Visitors of the school to getthe ap-
preparation of about $4,000 at the last
session of the Maryland Legislature, it is
now out of the question to make the ex-
tensive repairs to the school, such as the
construction of new industrial build
ing. 1t was decided that just rs extern
sive improveme ntS as possible, consider
ing the funds in hand, would be made at
the school.
The year has been a successful one for
the school. The efficient faculty offered
excellent reports at the meeting. The
members Of the Board of Visitors also
went on record as commencing the
work of the school. They also voted
that the location of the school in Fred
erick was an ideal one, and that none
better in the State could be secured.

Big in Dull Times.

1t is easy to show by impressive fig
ures that the volume Of commerce and
industry in the United States is immense.
even while BUSINESS men complain of dull
times. 1t is not at all difficult to present
facts which prove that this country is
leading the world today in many branch
es OF production and traffic. American
supremacy has become too well establish
ed to be lost in period of unsatisfactory
business.
The trouble is not so much that the
country has lost ground as it is that there
has been no such advance as should
have been made. 1t is not that traffic
and production have become small. but
that they ought to be much larger. In
some lines of industrial and commercial
activity there has been a disappointing
unnatural lack OF growth.
Nothing that is past can satisfy Amer
lean demands upon the future. What
has been done is never enough to meas
ure satisfactorily the business of TODAY
and business plans for tomorrow

She Wanted to Know.

A party of four just returning from a

rant. The prim spinster who was the
guest of the evening was charmed with
everything, especially the music. While
the waiter was standing by the table she
asked him to find out the title Of the
piece the orchestra was playing. The
willing waiter promised, but other duties
claimed him for awhile, and when he re.
turned the lady had completely forgotten
her request. When he bent toward her

ear, she recoiled with horror. Then. re-.
