NEW CASTLE, July G When the Board
Of Education Committee made its
formal appeal for new school-hotlse ap.
preparation before that august booy OF
New Castle. the Trustees Of the Common,
there were some interesting facts de-
yeloped.
Chairman Rodney called upon Trus-
tee Morrison. who is q contractor ard an
authority, TO speak FROM his own personal
observations, upon the condition OF
school building No ., known as the OH
academy-which narrowly escaped being
torn down 70 give way to a new and
modern schoolhouse. Mr. Morrison said !:
"Gentlemen, I have carefully examined
the old school building and can freely
say that 10 would stand firm for hun
dred wears more. The walls Of this
building are wonderfully well built, the
bricks used having been Tapped and
set in with the greatest care for every
detail The roof and h0nrs are all that
need attention and these are, really, I'M
safe. Dry rot has practically destroyed
them. A safe estimate is think, 81 800
for making all the necessary improve
ments
Chairman Rodney-"I shall be the
first one to vote for new school house
somewhere else, when we get sufficiently
ahead TO make an adequate appropria-
ton, but / should be the last one TO vote
money for such a move as Is contem-
plated The great trouble is, the Board
Of Education, aud / say It with all
frankness, has neglected that school
building, evidently counting an OPP
portunity to rebuild or tear 1t away
That building Is credit TO the town.
I've had visitors mere TO tell me That's a
typical academy, a model iof strength
and architecture No, sir, place your
present building in good repair and
then IN you want 70 build a new
school house, select some other site
Mr.. Dalby-"Yes pat IL In Dobbins.
Vile, where they really need IT,
Mr. Challenger -Four years ago we
had Mr. Carswel, an experienced
architect Of Wilmington, examine the
old academy and he was much pleased
with 70. New floors will make new
building Of It. Think the Board Of
Education can rest assured Of our help
when 10 really becomes needy.

THE WHEAT SUPPLY.
senator Pettigrevv Wants Some ON
cial ton.


The resolution introduced in the Senate
Yesterday by Mr. Pettigrew OF South Da-
kota calls on the Secretary of Agriculture
for a statement of all the wheat visible and
invisible in this country March 1. 1883. to-
gether with the entire wheat crop harvested
in this country during that year: the amount
of wheat used for food seed purposes be-
tween March 1, 1893, and February 1, 1884
the amount that will be required for like
purposes in this country between February
1 and July I, 1894, together with the amount
of wheat and -four wheat imported since
March l. 1893, with the surplus available
for export between February 1 and July L.
1894, after deducting the above amounts from
the estimated surplus on March l, 1888, and
the entire wheat crop of that year.
The resolution Is promised with a state
ment that a number Of leading commercial
newspapers, like Bradstreet's Weekly, the
Cincinnati Current and others, dispute the
reports of the department relating to the
yearly wheat crop of this country and its
estimates of the wheat i'm this country at
different periods, usually largely increasing
these quantities beyond those published in
the department. report and estimates; also
authorized sources largely control the mar
ket price of wheat. reducing its price to
American wheat producers to their great
injury il the departments reports and esti-
mates correct.

Wimodaughsis benefit was given last
night at National Rifles Hail. The audi
ence was large in numbers and in appre-
citation and the entertainment was worthy
of the applause IL received. The program
was arranged with credit to the manage
ment and with pleasure to the attendance
Some of the numbers evoked real entnu-
siasm. The first part of the program was
devoted to musical solos and recitation. and
the second part to THE Bachelor and His
Wife," an operate cantata in three parts
by Mr.. Harry Wheaton Howard, adapted
from the Anglo-Saxon chronicle. There
was once an old bachelor who lived by him.
self The evening was opened with a
cornet solo by Mr.. Elphonzo Youngs, jr,
who played with remarkable cleverness. and
won rich tributes of praise. The second
number was soprano solo. the Bolero from
Verdrs ''Sicilian Vespers" by Miss Mary
Helen Howe. Her voice was heard to ex-
cellent advantage. and the clearness of her
efiunciation, fullness of tone and accuracy
OF phrasing added to the reputation which
this young lady is fast acquiring. Her
many friends will watch her career with
interest. Mr.. Lee Crandall, jr., played

THE Bachelor was given with a dash
which showed the talent and intelligence
Of the children and the care which had
been bestowed upon their training The
cantata afforded them adequate opportuni-
ty to display their abilities: Miss Lottie
Schultz assumed the role the Little Would
be Wife, at very short notice, because of
the illness Of little Miss Marie Howe. who
made such an impression in the Juvenile
Pinafore. Miss Schultz performed her diff
fieult task with grace and favor. The sing
ing of Misses Clara Moran, Helen Noble
and Clara Cassell, and Masters Harry
Campbell and sylvester Cassell, was all
that could be asked. The choruses were
full and strong and the pleasing melodies
of the composition were all well rendered.
In the third part there was danced an Irish
Zig by Master Willie Collier and Miss Annie
May O'Tooie which created great enthu-
