Shooting had been heard intermittently
all the time since noon, and the SUPPOSE
ton was that gunners were. amusing Them
selves to the extent they could in that
somewhat public resort for gunners. \
score or so of the y. NJ. G. 4. members
rushed across to the spot, to which their
Steps were easily guided by the cries and
groans which still continued. A young
man was found in the middle of crowd
of youths, his hands bleeding profusely
from shot, with which they were
thoroughly peppered. A gun was lying at
his side.
The young fellow was in too frightened
condition to speak but kept up groaning
loudly. Grains of shot were found all
over his body including his face. Fortu-
nately his eyes were not affected. He was
helped to his feet and subsequently found
his way home to the village.

At THE HIGH SCHOOL.


Principal Berlin in High Feather Over the
Prospects of the SCHOOLGIRL He Needs
is More Room for the Pupils.
Principal Berlin was accosted on
Market street on Saturday and inquiry
was made in regard to the prospects Of
the high school for the coming term. He
says the outlook is brilliant for the
most successful educational year in the
schools annals. Everything is in
thorough order and the departments
were never in a more effective condition.
There are more applications for scat
ings than the capacity of the school
allows. The total attendance is 504,
equally divided between the two sexes.
The high school is growing so fast that
the grammar grades will soon have to be
dropped.
A most important fact and one that
bears very much significance at this
moment is that the scholars are remain
ing, instead of leaving, as the higher
grades are reached. This is different
from what 1t used to be. A number of
the coming graduating class will remain
over for another five months instead Of
going out in February. They remain
until June on their own option. Mr.
Berlin takes this as an indication that q
true scholarship feeling is developing in
Wilmington.

rived in town this morning and he is
being shown the courtesies OF the place
by his friend, James 7. Mullin. The

pressed his pleasure at being here again
and seeing its beauties. During the past
25 years he has cherished recollections
of the Chester Valley, where he was i'm
pressed with the fine scenery which that
locality affords. For half an hour be-
fore noon he stood in the office of the
commissioners and met number of
citizens who were introduced to him,
and each one received pleasant word.

the fact that the Democrats in town,
John S. Mullin, Dr. P. E. Hoskins, Com
missioner Cox, Esau Loomis and Others
appeared to be stouter and in better con.
dition physically than some of their Re.

Stoeckle's Diamond State Brewery,
the Oldest business of its kind in Della
ware, makes the Just claim for its
famous brews of lager beer and porter
that they are absolutely pure. That is
the guarantee that the citizen wants as
he quaffs his draught of cool sparkling
beer Another quality that the Stoeckle
brew has made itself famous for through
out the State of Delaware is its rich
golden color and superior aroma. The
last is a test quite as critical as that of
taste.
These three conditions can be attained
only by first rate and thoroughly ex-
perienced brewer. At the Diamond State
Brewery Harry ]. Stoeckle fills that i'm
portant position with q success un-
equaled by anyone in his profession.
He is the youngest brewer in the State
and one of the best. BusinesslilSe and
energetic, he has given such close
attention, and such persistent diligence
to the sole object Of introducing per-
feet beverage for his patrons that now
the legend "Stoeckles Extra Fine Lager
Beer and Porter" stands for the staple
brand of the sons of Gambrinus.
The immense brewing premises of
this enterprising Delaware company is
of such large capacity that the fine
staple production, with its hundreds of
barrels a day of output, represents now
a standard business of the Diamond
State. 1t is shipped everywhere,
Stoeckle's beer is a drink that gives
more satisfaction than any other. 1t is
healthful and strengthening. Tho por-
ter is found of special benefit to the con
valescent seeking his strength again.
