THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Machinery In the Manual Training
School Placed and working.

Machinery In the Manual Training
School Placed and working.
The Manual Training Department OF
the Wilmington High School is now IN
thorough working order, and the
scholars are becoming expert in the use
of the tools there
This department is now fitted up with
the most approved machinery for such
institutions, and the work turned out is
of the best class.
In the metal department the courteous
instructor, Mr. Robinson, told the re-
porter that the following machinery had
been received and placed in position
Five engine lathes, two of ~ inch swing
by 5 feet bed; two IL inch swing by
feet bed; one 16 inch swing by feet
bed one planer, 20 inches by 30 inches by
4 feet; an inch shaper with so inches
swing. All this machinery is set up and
in use by the pupils.
In the wood department Mr. White
head, the affable teacher, says that the
following named machines are being
worked by the boys: Two wood lathes,
Is inch swing, feet bed. and three
others, each of feet bed, and JIG
saw.
All this machinery is propelled By an
electric motor in the iron department,
the shafting going through the wall be.
tween the two apartments
The shafting is connecte with all the
machinery including the grind stones and
all he power is obtained from one motor.
All the necessary tools for the machines
in both departments have been secured
and are in use by the pupils. In the
wood department about one-half of the
desks are fitted with pattern making
tools and the pupils are being taught the
use of the tools. There's also wood cary
| ing department attached to this part OF
/ the school.
The same number of benches remains
in both departments and the rooms are
excellent workshops, being warm in win
ter and cool in summer.
A forge department is to be added tc
| the boys section of the sch lol and this
will give the boys an insight into the art
of blacksmithing.
The Manual Training School COMMITTEE,
has under consideration a plan to add
| cooking and sewing TO the school worh
for the girls department..
The specimens of work turned out Al
the Manual Training School are a credit
to both teachers and pupils. The latte
work especially is fine, and the in
structor says one specimen at least il
creditable to a first class mechanic.
The vacancy caused by the resignation
of g. M. Warren from the position o
drawing teacher at the High School hal
kept back the scholars greatly, as no on
has yet been secured to teach thu
scholars, but the Committe on Teacher
has the matter under consideration ait
will make a selection in a short time
Professor Berlin will introduce new
styles of working this term and hopes t
have the boys do their work better thai
ever before. The pupils of the Manus
Training School now only change from tn
metal to the wood department once il
six weeks instead of alternate days a
formerly.

We have youthful mesmerist in this
city who for some time has been the hero
OF his locality on account OF the number
Of pranks he has played upon the boys.
His name is Charles Tumot His parents
live on Fifth street near Madison, and
are respectable. but the boy, although
very clever, is also very bad in fact an
incorrigable young scamp who leads the
boys of his locality in every sort of mis-
chief. During the stay Of the mesmerist,
who some time ago gave nightly exhibit
tions at Fourth and Monroe streets, this
boy was constant visitor, and every
night mounted the stage But the doctor
was never able to mesmerize him. A
day or two after the doctors departure
he undertook himself to mesmerize one
Of his chums, and after going through
several motions the other boy, to the
surprise of him and others, was vic
tim Since then he has mesmerized sew
eral persons, although in the majority of
instances he fails, as his will power is
not yet of sufficient strength. He is
about IA years old, and since he discov-
cred his power in this line has hardly
ever been at home.

A DOUBLE MISTAKE.
How Bicyclist Got Left while Riding
After Dark.


After Dark.
A laughable accident befell noted
bicyclist OF this city, while riding on
Concord pike, after dark, one evening
last week. The man, who Is very short
sighted, set out on his trusted Eagle TO
inhale the fresh air of the country, and
exercise his stifTened limbs Night fell,
but still he rode on, and at as rapid
rate as possible when suddenly his wheel
collided with an object, which he took
to be an old woman, and he was thrown
roughly to the ground. In a moment
no was on his legs, apologizinr
to the woman and endeavoring to
make excuses for his mistake. but she
must be angry for she will not answer
him. nor will she condescend to notice his
protests or apologies. He feels cheap
and inwardly curses his defective vision.
Perhaps this woman is beautiful and
young perhaps male companion Is not
not far distant who will avenge this
But horror what Is it that movesg
Surely not woman. He moves closer,
and oh, shades OF Ccnfusiusl It is a
COW. He mounts his wheel and disap-
pears once more into the night. A mile
further on and ne resolved TO turn back.
He is more cautious, lest he should
again come into collision with the COW.
He is descending short hill and can see
nothing. Suddenly the wheel strikes
an object, and rider, wheel. and object
roll over on the road. "You brute, he
shouted ARE you here againf" Con.
found your impudence, but you have a
gall exclaimed woman In sharp and
bitter tones. CONSERVATION and confns.
Ion, seized the erring bicyclist. He did
not stop TO see whether his victim was
hurt or not, he was too embarrassed ia
apologize, but he mounted his wheel, and
neither force nor hattary can induce him
TO 90 bicycling after dark since.

liver to the Owners.
Postmaster Daniel T. Stewart sent a
communication to tho City Council,
Thursday evening, September IL, asking
that the houses in South Wilmington,
beyond Third street bridge, be numbered.
The Council referred the letter to the
Committee on New Map and the atten-
tion of Building Inspector Patrick Dillon
was dra gn to the recently passed ordi-
nance in which it is stated as his duty
to number the houses in South Whining
ton. This ordinance was passed Deem
Der 5, 1890, almost a year ago, and gives
full directions for numbering the streets.
Building Inspector Dillon bad done
nothing towards fulfilling the require.
ments Of the ordinance before the letter
from Postmaster Stewart was received
by Council This was two weeks ago
to day, and although, as Mr Dillon says,
he has begun the work, it is not near
completion
He saws that he has been trying tohave
the work done as soon az possible. Ihe
painters to whom he has gone, with the
exception of q. l.. Stradley, have de-
clined to take the job Of painting the
numbers. Mr. StradleY is now at work
on them The difficulty is that the
painter must take MS chahceS on cOllecV-
ing the % cents, for each number, from
the house owner
Postmaster Stewart has this to say
about the facilities for delivering mail in
South Wilmington:
Gan ordinance was passed about a
year ago directing this work to be done,
but it was never carried out.
''Now, none OF the streets over in that
section are named or numbered, and q
stranger would be lost there. Even
residents do not know the names of the
streets. Meaning that the names are
not on the streets
1.-THE regular letter-carrier on that
route knows all the people there, and de-
liVers their letters correctly, no matter
how they are addressed But he is no y
on his vacation and substitute, who
does not know much about the route, Ii
delivering the letters.
81 anticipated his vacation by calling
the attention of Council TO the ordi-
nance, and the building inspector was
ordered to have the work done 1t ha'
not yet been done and | am receiving
numerous complaints from that section
that letters are not delivered properly
We do the best we can under the circnm
stances, but l would like TO give tbs
citizens good mail service
