Aid to be Asked.

The meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of Delaware College held in
Dover, Tuesday last was well attend
ed. 1t was the unanimous opinion of
the Trustees present that the Legis-
lature at its present session should
be asked to put the College building
in such condition that the objects
of the congressional grant may be
realized. As no proposition in a
tangible shape had been agreed
upon, il was resolved to appoint a
committee to report plan to an
adjourned meeting of the Board in
Dover, February oath inst. The
committee consisting of Governor
Stockley, Mr.. J. F. Williamson, j.
A. Fulton, Esq, Mr.. P. +. Causey,
Mr.. Manlove Hayes and Mr.. George
G. Evans will meet on Tuesday
next for the purpose of comforting
together. The circumstances and
conditions of the congressional grant
and its acceptance by our State will
be brought to the attention of the
Legislature, at the adjourned meet
ing of the Board and it is confident
ly believed that something will be
done to make the national donation
of sS3,O00permanently secure to our
State. The conditions of the grant
are that the State shall furnish
buildings, apparatus and appliances.
The Trustees are prohibited express
ly from using either principal or
interest of the national endowment
for buildings or repairs.
The State was not called upon al
first to make any appropriation, be-
cause the original Board Of Trustees
of Delaware College gave up the
buildings, grounds, libraries, anC
apparatus under their care to b,
used in the organization of the new
college. Therefore the State has thu
far had the benefit of the $4,000
the estimated value of the gift mad
by the Trustees, without any COS
whatever to her. The Trustees more
over spent upwards of $1,000 in put
ting the buildings in order just be
fore they were delivered up to tn
State. Now if the State had bee
required to disburse $4,000 fifteel
years ago in order to get posessio
of this national grant she woul
have lost in intesest by this tim
$4,000.
We think, therefore, that it woul
not be unreasonable for the State {
provide a permanent annual sun
say the interest on $4,000 and kee
in repair the buildings, and to ell
large them so that they may til
better answer the purpose required
Of course the State has the right
take away the $4,000 endowmel
fund and place her College els
where, abandoning the presei
buildings, but she would be con
PEELED to expend Il very large sum
erect the necessary building, al
purchase apparatus, appliance
etc. Nor do we believe that a bett
location could be secured, even
there were any disposition to ia
the College away from our town.
Hence we conclude that the lie
islature if made aware of the
things will pass the requisite app
priation, and we trust the practiC
business committee appointed
the special meeting on Tuesday W
present the subject in way TO
understood and acted upon.

down from SI.25 to IS cents;

Daisy Cloth " is like a
Cnudda, the India-sha wi
fabric; a dainty twill of soft
Iong.hbre wool, finely spun
and moi too closely woven;
never heavy, never light, but
G';th an airy softness in its
drapery that lends its easy
grace to common use as well
as to more luxurious dress.
Like the oriental Chudda, il
belongs to no time Of year.
1t is fit to be as universal in
its use as Cashmere, the
other India fabric whose ORR
gin is forgotten in our FAM
iiarity with it. Chudda and
Cashmere differ only a trifle
in the weaving. One is as
heavy or light as the other.as
durable or frail. Lupin's
Cashmere and Lupin's
Chudda or DAISY Cloth"
both, have the same title to
permanent acceptance, viz,
ancient origin in the native
land of the loom, and the
work of the greatest loom
manager in the land of
modern textile wonders. We
are selling several grades of
Lupin's Cashmeres ten cents
below value; this DAISY
twenty!
Rayon dor" is the pop
In weave; but poplin is harsh
and "Rayon dor" is softer.
1t is about the same as the

1t is heavy and strong and
fine, You will buy it for
double reason: its goodness
and the fifty cents you save

Very strong twilled

but not so heavy as it looks,

Fleht Wlth q Bear.

The Fayette Democrat tells of the recent
occurrence Of one OF those thrilling Incl
cidents that frequently happened 10 the
early pioneers Of the mountains Of West
Virginia. before daylight q party o.
young hunterB started out from their camp
on Gauley river, on q bear hunt. Soon
their dogs started large bear, which
made for Kelly's Fork. Robert Hughes
who lives in that neighbolheod, started
from his home to ga 10 the house Of Jeffer
son Steele, on Kelley's Fork. When nsal
Steele'g, and whilst It was yet dark, Mr..
hughes was met by the bear With pack
Of dogs engaged In fight. Hughes, un.
daunted and unArmed, pitched into the
aght. he caught the bear by the ears
the dogs holding on to the rear. While
in this condition Mr.. Steele, hearing the
noise, rushed TO the acene. He being un.
armed, got hold Of hGndsnike, and his
first lick missed the boar, but killed hi.
own dog. The light then became Q gem
eral one, resulting In q complete victory
for Hughes and Steele, who finally sue.
ceeded in killing the bear.

Mr.. Randall several times interrupted and
denied the accusations emphAtically. He
denounced Gibson's speech as being too
personal to reply to. Randall had refer

being q member OF that committee felt

how to manage them. So far he has been
fortunate enough to come out ahead in
matters Of this kind. "He must have
been born under lucky STAR" said one OF
his admirers the other day. He Is not
only lucky enough 10 come unharmed out
Of all Bortsof political complications, but
Is Just so in his business matters. For
instance not great while since he was
engaging to some extent in an oil speCu;
lation. One day the price was up and
likely to 60 higher, and Camden tele-
graphed to his agent in New York to buy
ten thousand barrels OF oil. He used the
cipher in telegraphing, and by mistake
wrote in cipher the word sell instead OF
buy as he intended, and did not notice
his error. Tho dispatch arrived in New
York and the agent proceeded 10 carry
out his instructions, selling for Mr.. Cam
den ten thousand barrels at once. A
feH days atterward the market began to
get panicky, and remembering he had
telegrGphed to his agent to buy when the
price was up, he got frightened. Fearful
that he would lose heavily, he again tele-
graphed. This time the dispatch read,
Sell those ten thousand barrels i'm
mediately.' The answer shortly came
informing the Senator that he had
no oil; that all he had was
sold in pursuance Of his previous order
when the market was up, and that profit
a 5000 was to his credit in the SCENTS
hands. It was not till then that Mr.. Gam.
den learned what fortunate error be bad
made in the case OF the word bell.' l

fortunate man the Senator is-in business
as well as in politics. In this case RYen

PITTsBuRaH, Pa, Dec. l5.-The National
convention Of coal operators and miners,
called for the purpose OF arbitrating the
difficulties between the employer aid EN-
ployes and to establish national scale
OF wages, together with the cost OF miners
supplies, which shall govern the operators
and men in every mine in the United
States, opened here at 1880 o'clock this
morning. Fifty delegates were present
from Ohio, PennsylvaniG, Indiana, Mis-.
souri,, Tennessee, Illinois, Virginia and
West Virginia. Prominent among those
in attendance are Colonel W. p. Rend, the
extensive Ohio operator, Christopher
Evans, Executive Secretary OF National
Federation Of Miners; D. Mclaughlin,
representing the Illinois miners aud d.
Patterson, Of the Columbus, Ohio, Coal
Exchange. 4. L. Sweet, Of Illinois, was
elected chairman, and Christopher Evans,
Secretary. Addresses were made by Colo
mel Rsnd and Mr.. David Patterson, both
advocating arbitration. Colonel Rend
recommended general advance OF 20
percent in the wages OF the miners, and
added that the operators could thon get
better prices for their coal.
In the aiternoona proposition was made
by President Mcbride, OF the Ohio
Miners Association, that the price OF min
ing should be arranged by Board OF Arbi-
tration in each Of the several mining
regions. No suspension OF work should
occur while the question OF price is being
considered, and the rate Of mining when
fixed should 20 continue for one year.
Col. Rend said it was impossible for
zach district 10 settle It's own differences
and attain the object for which the con-
Vention was called he suggested the ar
ranging OF standard in the Pittsburgh
held, say q cents in summer and cents
in winter, make corresponding
rate in the Hooking Valley, in Indiana,
in Illinois and in the Kanawha Valley.
Then II there should be reduction or in
crease in any Of the fields a corresponding
reduction or increase would be made in
all the other fields.
The discussion was finally brought to
an end by the adoption OF o resolution
providing for the appointment OF com.
nittee consisting OF one operator and one
miner from each State To draft resolutions
that will cover what Is believed to be the
question involved.
The Committee on Resolutions met to-
night and remained in session until nearly
midnight. The miners drew up scale OF
prices for all districts, but in the opinion
Of operators 1t was too high. 1t contem-
plated an advance on May l., 1886. The
committee finally adopted resolu-
ton to present 10 the meeting
tomorrow recommending that con-
vention Of coal operators be held
at an early date to consider scale of
prices to be presented by the miners, and
should any imperfections be found in said
scale the operators are to point them out,
and in turn submit fcale. They will
further recommend that whatever price
may be finally agreed upon it shall re-
main in force one year from May l, 1886.
