Attention is called to the fact Of an embar.
basement growing out OF the recent act OF
congress making the retirement OF officers OF
the army compulsory at the age Of "a, while
an act OF 1873 il still III force which limits TO
400 the number Of those who Can be retired

there chance to be less than 40 names on the
retired list There are now 40. Congress
evidently did not intend such result and the
law ought 60 be amended.

u aiSel Again.

Some months ago, owing to threat
ened scarcity Of funds, the salaries Of
the school teachers were slightly re-
duced. AT the last meeting the Board
of School Trustees resolved to raise
them to the old figures, the state of the
Treasury warranting the action. The
advance was only SIS, however. That
is to say under the reduction the total
amount paid to the teachers Was 5000.
The next payment will be 1913. Tax
payers need not growl at this, as ii
doesn't amount to two bits year to
anybody in the county.

The Canavan Democrats are jubilant
over their prospective success at the
coming primaries. They will send
pledged deleg ,tes to the Convention.
Ore of their number said to the APP
PEAL reporter that Caravan is certain
to- be nominated on the first ballot. This
Democrat may be over-certain, but there
is scarcely doubt that he will not be
the choice at the end. Canavan is a
shrewd politician, and hard worker
who will not miss a siugle trick before

the other hand, Adams relies alto

the Board of Trustees, but, coupled with the
one or eensure, made IL of no avail
Mr.Eyans, then to overcome that difficulty,
offered special resolution of praise aud
commendation to be given to the bounced
Professor, and III was passed.
A set of rules and resolutions of the
college were presented by Mr.. Evans and
adopted and ordered printed in one news
paper, but finally directed to be furnished
to all the newspapers. Mr.. Murphy, after
the meeting, admitted that the rules were
good thing, as the college had been run
heretofore without really anything togoven
them
The meeting was warm one all through,
Mr.. Dean taking stand against the other
trustees and fighting them single handed,
although on one occasion Mr.. Murphy voted
with him. When the Reinhart resolutions
were being discussed Mr.. Dean declared that
the trustees were blowing hot and cold, and
while damning the Professor with one
breath was soft-soaping him with the other.
The gentleman was called to order,
but finished his remark and sat
down. He afterwards In some ex-
extended remarks, declared that he was a
woolen manufacturer and had made seri-
Gus mistake in supposing that he knew any
thing about running a college. He had just
discovered his error, and would therefore
resign, backing up his declaration by hand
ing the secretary a stinging note of resigna-
tion. Mr.. Dean and Messrs. Black, Rey-
nolds, Lore and Fulton, members Of the
State board, then retired, and the old board
took up the profTered resignation and
accepted 1t without any delay.
DIR. Keyser of Philadelphia, when asked
for few points, said 1t had been decided,
on q resolution offered by him, mot to speak
of the proceedings to outsiders, and there
fore was unwilling to talk
Mr.. Dean did not know that his resigna-
tion had been accepted until informed of 1t
by Mr.. Murphy, of whom he inquired. The
trustees all express regret at the action they
were obliged 10 take.
Mr.. Dean promises to make things warm
for the trustees and to show up all the devil
try that has been going on for the past ten
years. One of the causes that led to his
resignation was that he was taken to task
for offending the dignity of the board by
writing the GAZETTE letter. He says that
he now Is simply citizen of the State OF
Delaware and can say and do what he
pleases.
JefTeris, whom many declare, should also
have gone, has forsaken his 3friend'' Rein
hart, II Is stated, and the latter refuses TO
have aught to do with his late "private
counsel
Professor Reinhart was not found by the
reporter and his future action is not known.

tary of the Board sends the following postal
