: MR.. AND MRS. STANLEY MoBBEo.

Their Meeting Broken Up and Their
Carriage Attacked.
" LONDON, June 30.-Henry NJ. Stanley and
Mrs Stanley tried to address a meeting of
Lambeth electors at Hawkins hall The
crowd was uproarious from beginning to
,end. But little said by either OF the speak
ers was heard. The police seemed to be
powerless and eventually the meeting
broke up in a general fight, followed by
persistent attempts TO assault the candidate
and his wife. Stanley's denunciation Of
Gladstone was followed by shouts of Let
your wife talk for you, go back to Amer
lea, and a steady chorus Of howls.
When Mrs. Stanley took the platform she
was received little better than her husband
had been. Her references to his loyalty to
Great Britain were received with laughter,
and her attempts to discuss political issues
were rendered futile by uproarious demands
that her husband speak for himself.
A fight was started near the platform.
Mrs. Stanley lost her line of thought, and in
response to a gesture from Mr.. Stanley
turned to sit down. The instant she turned
'fthe crowd became a hooting and fighting
mob.
Mr. Stanley hastily started with Mrs.
Stanley for the door and his few supporters
kin the audience tried TO hurry after him.
HThey had to fight their way to the door
I through blows and abuses, most Of them
coming out with their hats smashed and
4their clothes torn. The mob broke from the
|doors Of the hall with a rush and swooped
down on Mr.. Stanley's carriage. He had
barely got Mrs. Stanley inside when they
lwere upon him. Somebody grabbed him by
the arm to pull him back. but he tore loose
! jumped in and slammed the door. The
driver started up and the mob followed
pulling at the carriage doors and trying tC
|lstop the horses. They wrenched one dooi
4 of, but before they could do more the driv
er got his horses into gallop and was be-
yond their reach
Mrs. Stanley was badly frightened. She
was almost in Mysteries when she left the
hall, and she screamed several times during
the mob's attack upon the carriage.

Fifty scholars Graduate Amid Flowers,
Music. Speeches and Prizes.

Music. Speeches and Prizes.
Long before the curtain arose on the
fifty graduating pupils of the Whining
ton High School last evening, the roomy
auditorium of the Grand Opera House
was well filed by an audience which
showed, by indiscriminate applause its
hearty sympathy with the evenings
event
When the curtain rose at o'clock the
field of white that greeted the eye from
the feminine host on the right of the
stage, contrasted by the masculine array
of black to the left, and both offset BY
the fresh green of the palms and ferns
before the footlights, made up picture
as beautiful as it was impressive Mem
bers of the Board of Education and
speakers of the evening occupied promi-
nent places on the stage.
After the opening prayer by Rev.
Thomas +. Terry of St. Paul's NJ. +.
Church, President Baird Of the Board Of
Education, the chairman, introduced Vim
cent G.. Hazard Of the Wilmington
Institute who on behalf Of the institute
presented prizes to Thomas Patterson,

These prizes were tickets good for a year
giving the leartrs full privileges of the

sent a membership ticket, to William
Arthur Green. Trueman W. Campbells

ton, then followed
Dr. William Pierce. president of the

Humphrey for the second highest aver
age in the senior class, and Mrs NJ. NJ.
Dillon bestowed the alumne prize to
Miss Eleanor Hammond for proficiency
in English grammar George W. Roberts
of the News presented prizes offered by
that paper.
The presentation speech of George W.
Roberts in bestowing the News prizes
suggested in its melancholy effect the
speech OF "Mr. Incidents Dumps,
at the bloomsbury Christen-
ing" "Mr. Dumps as most
readers of Dickenss Sketches by Boz, F"
will remember, was a grabbed old bache-
lor Of 40 or more who, when invited to
stand godfather to his young
relatives child, made speech
so full Of frightful casualties to be an.
I ticipated that the before merry gather
/ ing was changed to party OF mourning.
Mr.. Roberts spoke well otherwise, how
ever, and was applauded when he con
cluded.
After very exoellently written and
well delivered essay by Miss Annie f,
Nelly, came the feature of the evening
in an address to graduates by Rev. DR..
George Edward Reed, president OF
Dickinson College Though its delivery
occupied nearly an hour it claimed tn,
attention Of all present throughout and
was frequently interrupted by enthusias
tic applause.
President Baird, in timely speech
presented the diplomas. the orchestrl
struck up "The Star Spangled Banner.
and amid mutual congratulations, thl
vast assemblage broke up.
The music alone Of the whole entertain
ment was rough The cornet was to
strong for the string pieces and marred a
times, parts intended to be delicately an'

GAS STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers.
About 200 are in use in this city and

their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers they are unriyalled and
are far superior TO conl or wood stoves In
cooking meats or vegetables.

they are most useful. especially when the
weather is too warm TO use the ordinary
stove or range
AS % heating apparatus that can he
moved from room 20 room in few min
uics by the housekeeper they are most
co lvcniont
AS assistant heaters IN rooms whore
furnaces or steam heat win not ascend
ON the windward side they have given
/ great satisiaction
As permanent henters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating fues they
! have Fiecn much comfort.
As intermittent heaters, whore heat is
wanted only an hour or two at a time,
they are economical
For offices and stores, when the weather
Is rather warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesomc and expensive they are comfort
able and economical
As fires that can be started In a min
ute and oxtinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory.
AS heaters that avoid ASHES. COAL
