It will be noted by the provisions of what
is known as the Hatch Act, Section I, that
the Experiment Station provided for the
State OF Delaware is made a department of
Delaware College.
The act was approved by the President Of
the United States and became a law March
?, 1887. At the regular meeting ofthe Board
Of Trustees of Delaware College, held March
22d, committee was appointed consisting of
J. Alexander Fulton, Esq, Hon. John B.
Pennington, and DR.. Hugh Martin, to prepare
and present to the Legislature of Delaware,
bill giving assent to the grants of moneys
authorized by the Hatch Act, which bill was
passed by both houses
The establishment of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station was also considered at the
meeting of the Board, but owing to the fact
that the United States Comptroller decided
that no money hac been appropriated by
Congress to be distributed to these stations
and that no funds were therefore. available,
progress on the establishment of the station
was impeded.
Later, when Congress had, by special act in
February SSS, made the necessary appropri.
atoms to the various stations TO carry into
operation the provisions of the original bill,
the Trustees of Delaware College at once pro-
ceeded to establish the Delaware College Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station on the 2Ist of
February, 1888, and the Committee on Ag-
riculture were instructed to proceed at once
to take into consideration and to report con-
corning the appointment of Director aud
the location of the Station. At the same
time the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
ingtou was notified that Delaware College
being the recipient ofthe benefits of the land
grant bill approved July 2, 1869, was the only
agricultural college in the State and there
fore entitled to the benefits provided by the
Hatch Act
Owing to dilatory proceedings for which
the College Trustees were not responsible,
and which they could not CONTROL the ap-
pointment of Director could not be made |
until May s, 1888, when DR.. George D. Pur-
ington of Missouri, was elected to that Office |
and in connection was made Professor of Ag- |
riculture in the College.
The station was then located on the |
grounds of Delaware College, within two
walk of the Newark depot of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. It's laboratory is
a brick structure occupying a ground space
- #. by p #. It was planned and erected |
for carrying on Investigations in
the lines prescribed by the above mentioned
Act of Congress.

Free Scholarships.
Informing Mesos.)


1t is not so generally known as per-
haps it should be-though stated fire.
quently enough by the press-that the
State of Delaware has thirty free schol-
arships in Delaware College to dis
pose of to bright youths able and will
ing to pass the required examination
and that each member of the Legisla-
ture is entitled TO fill one Ofthese schOl-
Rrships. Senator DonahOe has named
Benjamin Biggs Smith son of Esquire
Smith, of Wilmington, for a scholar
ship, and has had other scholarships
placed at his disposal by some of his
fellow members. He has also arranged
with President Raub of the college to
have the examination of applicants
for these scholarships take place in
Wilmington. Parents with boys for
whom they would like to secure the
benefit of free course at this institu-
tiOR will please Mr.. DOnahOe by for
warding their applications. There is
no good reason why Delaware College
under its now energetic management
and with the revenue it now receives
should not begin to grow aud prosper.
It would conduce to this to have AS
many Ofthe State scholarships as prac-
ticable filled and kept full. OF course
Representative George W. Gray, of
Wilmington, has also the appoint
ment of one of these scholarships.

Worse than a Failure.
(Aes0 York Heyald.)

The fact is that prohibition by con-
stitutiOnal enactment is not in popular
favor. In those States where such an
amendment has been adopted. it has
proved a failure. A law absolutely
forbidding the sale of liquor never has
been enforced in any State, and never
can be enforced in any without a rad
ical change in the sentiments and
habits of the American people.
In some cases the experiment has
proved worse than a failure. 1t has
resulted IN an increase of evils which
might have been lessened by judicious
license aud regulation laws. Rhode
Island may be cited as an illustration.
The people of that State, dissatisfied
with the operation of the amendment
adopted some time ago, voted upon
the question of its repeal this week,
and as was generally anticipated the
popular verdict was for repeal

presence of witness. That on the twelfth
day of February, 1883, four judgments were
