There was another large wharf meet.
ing last Tuesday night at Pickles's
hall. All interests are made subservient
to the wharf issue, and all candidates
for trustees are put through such a
course of sprouts that they are getting
bald-headed. There are eight men in
the field, four having received the NOM
nation In caucus, two a couple of days
after by petition, and now, at the last
moment allowed by law, the Prohibition
lists sneakingly put up two more. Two
years ago license or prohibition was
made an issue here and license won,
electing board to serve for four years,
balt from various causes two of the men
who were elected on the Liberal ticket
resigned, and this leaves the opening

Speeches were made by Governor w.
III. Mintzer, in which he told some
wholesome truthe, Mr.. Maurice Sullivan,

the matter with the act of the legisla-

The Shape of the Earth.

Here are some answers given by young
scholars in an examination:
Question-What is the shape of the
earth? Give reasons for your answer.
Answers-The shape of the earth is
round, because you can see it, and sec
ondly because the map tells you.
The shape of the earth is like an or
ange, and it has pole through the mid
die.
The shape of the earth is like an or
ange, and if you put pole through the
middle of the earth you will see it is like
an orange.
The shape of the earth is like an Or
ange, and l prove that it is so shaped,
because when year passes it comes
back again.-London Tablet.

Lyman Z. Powell of This state to he n
I.ecturer 30 tho University Of wisconsin

Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin
Prof. Richard 4. Ely, who for the past
10 years has been at the head of the de-
partment Of political economy ut Johns
Hopkins University, and who Is fecog-
nised as one of the leading economists OF
the. country, has recently accepted the
position OF director of the School of
Economics and Politics at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison, tho state capital.
II is proposed to build up ut that point a
more complete and better arranged
school of economies and social science
than any yet established in this country.
DIR. Ely will be ably assisted by a mum
Der OF Johns Hopkins men, among whom
Lyman Z. Powell Il native and former
resident of Delaware, will serve as Uni
versity Extension lecturer. Mr.. Powell
was born at Pennington in this State in
1866. He graduated at the Wilmington
Conference Academy in 1884, taught two
years in the public schools of Delaware
before reaching his majority, studied at
Dickinson College in 1856, and graduated
with the degree OF A. b. at Johns Hopkins
University in 1880, carrying off uni
versity scholarship of $500.
Last June Mr.. Powell was appointed
librarian Of the department of history and
politics at Johns Hopkins, and during the
year has been largely instrumental in the
establishment. in that institution, of one
of the best libraries of southern history in
the country. He has frequently learned
on historical and economic subjects before
societies, churches and schools. and has
now in press a monograph on Education
in Delaware. Mr.. Powell is one of Il very
few Delawareans who have applied them
selves to n scholarly pursuit for its own
sake That he has succeeded in an emit
nent degree, is evidenced by the rapid
studies he is making, aud the recognition
which his work has received from such
men as DIR. Ely and Prof. Adams.
His recent call to the northwest Is
highly complimentary both to him and to
his native State. lie is the first man in
America to be chosen by university as
lis official lecturer in university extension.
The University Of Wisconsin is the first
American university to give its university
extension lecturer. official standing and
rating as q member of the Academic staff.
The editOrship of University Extension,
tho official organ Of the American Society,
was recently offered TO Mr. Powell, but
the opportunity presented to work with
and under the direction of DIR. Ely, at the
| Wisconsin University, with its thousand
students and its splendid possibilities for
the near future, naturally proved more Mt
tractiye. Ills many friends in Delaware
will follow him in his new field of labor
with the hope and expectation that his i'll
| dustry and ability will ultimately lead ia
even higher accomplishments in the world

The movement for synodical sustentatiOn
Is meeting with general favor. MANY
churches are contributing more than the
minimum suggested by the committee,
and Than sessions thought probable. This
is notably true in churches which have
used the method Of collection recon-
mcnded by the committee The churches
have been asked to raise Sl26O before
October. This was the smallest amount
which the committee could ask. About
one-half Of il has been already contributed
or pledged, but only the same generous
spirit ON the part of the remaining churches
Will suffice to secure the balance.

The exercises opened with singing by the

The pastor then took his text, 81. Matthew
xvii, 4l.42; Likewise also the chief
priests hooking him, with the scribes and
elders said; He saved others, himself lie
cannot Ii He he the king of Israel, let
Him now come down from the cross, and
we will believe Him.
The reverend gentleman spoke of the
life of Christ. of His death, Of Ills saliva
ton Of the world and OF the rescue Of Ills
tomb from the iniidels. Christ was hated
because he saved men. When told 10 do.
scend from The cross, If he had had power
TO save, lie would have saved himself
But the world would have persisted lie

plished. The preacher hoped that the
time would never come when the Knights
Templar would be compelled to unshenth
their swords in the defence Of Christianity.
but prayed that they might wage moral
warfare in its advancement aud urge
others TO follow their example. AT thc
conclusion Of the sermon when the creed
was recited the knights stood with an
sheathed swords, presenting an impressive
spectacle.
