THE peculiar beauties of Delaware's
rural districts We're never more patent
to an observing mind than at present;
the beautiful harvest just approaching.
the splendid fields of grass and clover,
the well titled and promising vegeta-
bile gardens, beside "a profusion of
heavily laden fruit trees and vines
giving the promise of a plentiful crop,
are enough to deligh the eye and catch
the fancy of the most critical. All
these and the added blessing of a genial
climate and soil very susceptible to
Improvement and responding literally
to generous culture, combine to estab-
llsh our claim that "Deiaware is as fair
land as the sun shines upon"

BROKE OUT OF CAMDEN JAIL,
Nineteen Prisoners Attempt {,
Get AWay.

Three prisoners made a successful
escape from the Camden County jail,
Saturday night. They were John
Harris, James Gallagher and William,
alias "Shad," Alcott.
The officers in charge. We're not to
blame for this, and Warden Logue,
brother of the Sheriff, did splendid
work in preventing the escape of all OF
the prisoners.
The Jail is being altered to make a
new courtroom, and in this way the
men came to make their attempt. For
some days, men have been engaged in
making alterations for heaters in the
old southern corridor. They had
made holes leading from this corridor
through the plastering and roof, to the
old room of the Board of Freeholders,
and left it unprotected. The criminals
took advantage of it, and opened one
of the holes so that they could crawl
through it,
An alarm was quickly raised. The
Warden rushed to the room and cap
tured man named Lawrence, as he
was escaping out of q window on the
second floor, and at the same time
James McBlroy, who was crawling
through the hole. He held the latter
at bay, threatening to kill him if he
moved. McElroy jumped back and
saved his life and gave the signal to
the other culprits. Had it not been
for Warden Logue's prompt action,
about nineteen prisoners would have
escaped, instead of three

which Ne disposed at the store of Will
son L. SiIvers, as is his custom. Short
ly before noon. his son came TO Bridge

shocked him wish the information that
his home and all its contents had been
burned.
At the time the fire broke out,
Mrs Westcott was at work in the
kitchen, and had a very hot fire in the
stove, and through a defective fiue
the house was fred. The son was at
work in the rear OF the place Mrs.
Westcott, was busy ironing and did
not know that even while she stood
there her home was in flames. A
couple of teams of F. F. Elmer, were
driving down the road, and the driv-
er's attention was attracted to the
house by the cracking of the flames on
the roof, and they hastened in the
house and gave the alarm. Mrs. West
colt Immediately started to save some OF
the furniture and the teamsters aided
her in every way they could, saving
some things, but unfortunately most
was burned The men had much diff
Guilty in keeping Mrs Westcott from
rushing into the burning house and
risking her life needlessly. A slight
wind blowing from the direction of the
barn prevented the outbuildings from
taking fire. The loss will approximate
fully $1,000, only portion Of which is
covered with insurance.

should Examine Them.

Teachers of our public schools go to
much trouble and extra work in pre-
pairing each month, a report of the
studies and department of the scholars,
for the use of the parents. 1t is a fact
that many parents seldom look over
these reports, taking but little interest
in the studies of their children. This
is a mistake. If parents were more
interested in the schooling of their
boys and girls, they could by question
ing them every day, awaken in them a
keen interest for study, and rather than
not be SO eager for play, and the result
would be the making of better men and
women. Parents look over the re-
ports each month, as they are sent to
you, and have an understanding with
your children.
