DELGWkRElS GAMES.
THE NEXT AT DOVER TO-DAY
AND IN WILMINGTON NEXT
WEDNESDAY.

THE NEXT AT DOVER TO-DAY
AND IN WILMINGTON NEXT
WEDNESDAY.
The Delaware College football team
has been practicing hard during the
past week The game with villa Nova
gave Coach Peirce and Captain Sipple
an opportunity to see the weak points.
Various changes have been tried and it
is expected that when the team again
appears in Wilmington it will be ma
terially stronger
The game of Saturday last was the
initial game for the defenders of the
old gold and blue A comparison Of
the two teams is sufficient to show
that Delaware can put up a strong
game. The Villa Nova team weighed,
on an average, 165 pounds to a man
when It went into training All of the
players, with the exception Of the two
guards and two half-backs, were on the
team all last year Delaware's team
averaged 14S pounds to a man when it
went into training. Marvel, McCabe
and Tenney were never in a game be-
fore. Brennan, Morris and Yansant
played their first game with the team,
and the remaining players, with the
exception OF Mullins, never played 10
their positions before.
Delaware has not met a team of
equal or less than it's weight for
three years. and what it might do with
such a team can only be anticipated
The fact that Villa Nova scored on the
L. of p. scrub. which has scored
against Captain Whartons team
makes the possibilities OF Deiaware's Is
sons an the better.
The next game Of the collegians will
probably be played in Wilmington on
Wednesday No Saturday games will
be played at Riverview for several
weeks To-day Delaware will so to

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
SUSSEX WANTS FAIR PLAY.

OIOOi4A WAN > TAIN Ii4hl
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: The last Legislature granted
the Queen Anne's Railroad Company a
charter to build a road from Queens
town TO Lewes and Rehoboth. The
company asked for no special privi-
leges, only permission to build the
road. It said it would raise the money
and construct the road, and thus open
to the people of Sussex another outlet
for their produce. 1t has complied
with all the requirements, and the road
is now nearly completed from Green
wood to Queenstown. The large pier
has been completed at Queenstown,
and the bridge across the Choptank, at
Denton, will soon be completed, and as
soon as that is done, the road will be
running between Queenstown and
Greenwood, a distance of thirty-six
miles. The road is being built in the
best way, of good material and Of steel
rails
The parties interested in this enter
prise are only delayed in pushing the
matter forward towards Lewes and
Rehoboth by the Delaware Railroad
Company objecting to them crossing
them at Greenwood. The charter gives
them the right to cross their roads, and
they are anxious to complete the road
to the ocean. so as to have all finished
by the early Spring There is moth
ing to prevent this except the obstruc-
tion by the Delaware Railroad Com
pany How long viii the people of Sus-
sex county quietly submit to this kind
of treatment from q corporation that
has had so many privileges granted it,
and which has done so little ofayorthe
people? Let public indignation force
them to cease their obstructive actions

MONEY IN THE SOIL.

IN SCRATCHING FOR GOLD MUG
GETS, MR.. EDWARDS FOUND
COIN OF THE REALM
Since the publication that gold had
been discovered ON the pretty little
farm OF George Edwards, just outside
Of town, Mr.. Edwards has been visited
by scores of curious persons by day
and by night. Those who came in the
night time usually took some keepsake
home to remember their visit
to the now celebrated farm,
usually in the shape of a feather,
and II the feather were not detached,
they took the whole fowl
A few days ago Mr.. Edwards was
showing a visitor the rich vein OF soil
in which gold has been discovered, and
the two began 10 scratch with their
sticks in the hspe of turning up some
nuggets of gold.
Suddenly Mr. Edwards made a start
toward a sod that he had just been
scratching. and his friend stopped
breathing, SO great was the excitement
Then all became known, Mr.. Edwards
had found o cent
This circumstance proved the state
ment made by Mr. Truitt that there
was money in that land Now Mr. Ed
wards could hardly be prevailed upon
to sell It.

Thus the oldest eXtant manuscripts
Of the Hebrew Old Testament are SEQ
years later than the earliest manu-

One eminent modern writer declares
that all the existing Hebrew manu-

was the discovery of the Tel-el-Armana
tablets, nine years ago.
These were found by an Egyptian
woman in 1887 among the ruins Of a.

long to the age of the Book of dcsha.
and in part relate to the events record
therein. 1t is quite probable that t.
original editions of the earliest bCols

clay tablets similar to these.
