NEW INDUSTRY FOR SMYRNA.
Clarence Prettyman Will Open a Hosiery
Mill

clarence Prettyman viii Open a Hosiery
Mill.
Clarence Prettyman, who for the
past nine years has been in the shoe
business, is now disposing of his stock
of goods as rapidly as possibly and
will about the first of September
open a hosiery mill in the Boyer
property, known as the old sc. w. &
5. Taylor Factory"
Mr.. Prettyman has been investiga-
ting the field for several weeks passed,
and has received splendid encourage
ment. In fact he has places for all or
ders he can turn out and looking at it
from this standpoint, he feels that his
new business venture is most promis-
ing. His factory products will be
mostly of WOmen's and Misses ribbed
goods, to the exclusion of mems at
first, of which there seems to be
greater demaud. He will, however,
give attention to mems hosiery more
particularly after he gets his plant
thoroughly started.
Mr. Prettyman proposes to fit his
plant out with the newest improved
automatic machinery, with capacity
of 27O dozen stockings a day. He
will run thirty knitters, nineteen
ribbers, five loopers and one cy-
clone dryer. There will be employ
ment for 35 hands at first, with an in
crease as the output demands. The
proprietor will have a skilled mechanic
to operate the machinery and a Fore
lady to instruct in knitting, which he
will keep until home labor is more
educated.

ALL England and the Great British
Empire are celebrating ajubilee to-day
for the go years reign OfQueen Victoria
Nowhere in human history is there a
record of such a reign over such an
empire, or of auch gathering of tribes
and nations from the uttermost ends of
the earth. Kingdoms and Empires and
Republics she world around have sent
their princess, statesman and warriors
to follow in the train and to express
their national friendship and acclaim
for her who is, in length of reign
and compass of empire, so easily the
foremost of the world. What u his
tory her reign affords usl
For sixty years Queen Victoria has
held her seat upon the British throne,
and it is right and proper, and emil
nently fitting, that the event should be
characterized by pomp and ceremony.
It is the dov.f a'l lays for Britain
and not Britt but the whole
world around may ftly look with cor
dial sympathy. with uhstinted admira-
tion and with earnest good wishing of
long life and health and loyalty at
home and peace abroad to Her Majesty
the Queen.

Mr.. EditOr:-YOu will please thank
the public (who patrOnized DIR. Han
mas stereopticOn lecture last Monday
evening" for us, through your valuable
paper. We wish to state, however,
that the proceeds were not tor the pur-
pose suggc8tiUe to goOdImany minds,
but, like all institutions, we have ex-
penses to meet and we thought it more
honorable to give something in return
for the public's money than to beg.
Having been urged by many who
were present to have DIR. Hanna re-
turn to Smyrna, we wish to say that
he will return in the near future un-
der an entire change of programme.

Preparations to Dedicate St. Jeseph's Indus :
trial SchOOl-LOca GIeamings.

Active preparations are now in pro-
gress at st. Joseph's Industrial School
to get ready for the dedication of the
Institution. The buildings were prac-
tically completed at the beginning of
the winter, but it was thought advis-
able not to occupy them before summer.
A beautiful brass altar has been
placed in the church, while the Sisters
Chapel has very nice altar finished in
white and gold.
Messers Kemp, of Baltimore, are now
engaged in placing q large gas machine
capable of furnishing 500 lights. Some
time ago a large double ender Camp
bell cylinder press was secured. At
present the printing is carried on at st.
Josephs' Home, in Wilmington. As
soon as all the details can be arranged
definite announcements will be made
for the opening. The Railroad Com
pany agreed to furnish tickets from
Wilmington at $1.47 for the round
trip
Clayton is preparing to assist the
Fourth of July celebration in Smyrna.
The singers here are placed in charge of
Samuel Rodgers and the first meeting
to practice will be in the NJ. p. Church
this evening. All are invited to be
present.
At the First Quartely Conference of
st. Paul NJ. f. Church held last Tues
day evening, the Pastors salary was
raised from $500 to 5000.
Jas. II. Deakyne, newly appointed
postmaster, succeeded Wednesdad in
getting bondsmen-Beni. A. HAZEL,
of Smyrna, and 1. d. Stats, of New
Castle county. He expects his commits
sion this week.
I. N. Mills, special agent of the Del
aware Railroad, will shortly issue his
annual peach crop estimate, which will
show that there will be a decidedly
small crop of peaches on the Peninsula
this year. Mr.. Mills has visited many
sections and made personal inspections
of the orchards.

DELAWARE College is no longer what
some people would like to credit it, an
ignominous institution. She stands
to-day side by side with her sister col
leges in learning and splendid equip
ment of apparatus and appliances.
Under the first years administration
of President Geo. A. Harter, now just
closed, a new impetus has been given
to the college and her advancement is
such that ought TO be pride to every
Delawarean.
In their recently issued catalouge,
which perhaps is the finest ever gotten
out, is shown the splendid curricula of
seven courses of study and all the prin-
cipal features of the College.
EACH course leads to degree. The
new course is called the General
Science Course, and the degree depen-
dent upon it is that of B. S. This
course is arranged for those who de-
sire a training based upon the study of
science, history, and modern language
including the English Language and
literature, but do not desire to study
Latin or the branch offered by the
courses in agriculture or engineering.
All the other courses have been re-
vised, partly with the view to equaliz-
ing the work of the several courses,
partly to the view to giving elasticity
to the cirriculum by the introduction
of elective studies. The elective prin-
ciple is restricted chiefly to the Junior
and Senior years. Mathematics will
hereafter be elective in the classical
course at the end of the Sophomore
year. Special class instruction in COM
position, hitherto restricted to the
Freshman year, has now been extend
ed through the Sophomore year in
courses and in some through the Jun
ior year. English literature, hitherto
restricted to the Sophomore year, has
been made an elective study in the Jun
ior and Senior years of most courses.
The elective studies offered in the en-
gineering and the agricultural courses
include a great variety of important
techinal subjects.
Entrance requirements at Delaware
College have been considerably raised
since the last catalogue was issued.
This is especially true of the Latin
Scientific courses. Requirements as
to English have been raised, and this
change applies to all courses save the
One-term course in Agriculture.
The teaching force at Delaware Col
lege now includes a Faculty of ten
members, and three instructors. The
roster of students bears n names. The
next college year opens Tuesday, Sep
tember 14th, 1897, and closes Wednes-
day, June 18th, 1898.
At the annual meeting of the trustees
recently, the salary of the president
was fixed at $4,000 per annum: the pro-
fessOr rOfmechanical engineering, $3.50;
the salary of instructor Carl Harring-
ton was increased from 5000 to $500.
A communication requesting that
girls be admitted to the college was
laid on the table.
1t was decided to add the study of
land survey to the curriculum.

The Kent County Mandamus Case.

The decision reached by the new
judges that a special session of the
General Assembly is not needed, makes
it impossible to reach conclusion in
the Kent county case, and the men who
were elected to office but counted out
will not be able to obtain JUS
tice until February next, or fourteen
months after the meeting of the Kent
county board of canvass.
This delay works a hardship to those
who are waiting upon the court of errors
and appeals, and are now compelled to
await the organization of the new court.
A number of Republicans expressed
regret that the judges reached the de-
cision they did, as it practically dis
poses of the Kent county mandamus
case, which should be heard before the
Supreme Court. Some time ago the
Superior Court of the State gave de-
clslOn in the Kent case, which was to
the effect that the inspectors of election
who compose the board to canvass the
the vote of the county as required by
law. This would have shown that the
Republican candidates for office in that
county at the last election were elected
by the people and the candidates would
have received their certificates. The
members of the Levy Court would,
after they had received their certif-
Gates, have begun proceedings to oust
the alleged Levy Court of that county.
When the case was decided against the
Democrats they appealed to the old
Court Of Errors and Appeals and the
argument was to have been heard on
June Is. Before that time, however,
the new constitution went into effect
and the court was replaced by the Su-
preme Court. The old Court of En-
rors and Appeals could be called into
special session, but the Supreme
Court cannot be called in special ses-
sion until the General Assembly passes
law so providing. The next regular
session of the court will not be held
until January and then the offices to
which the Republicans were elected
will have in some cases nearly expired.
This will be particularly true of the
offices of. sheriff and coroner. If n
special session of the General Assem-
bly, had been called and new law pas
sed, similar to the one which governed
the meeting of the Court of Errors and
Appeals, special session could have
been held and the case heard and de-
termined.

Gov. Tunnel has found that the way
to do a thing is to do it: when acting
sincerely and with candOr, nothing so
disarms criticism as proper action.
He found this so in appointing the
judges and Secretary of State. So long
as the question was open, by the con-
tention of friends of the candidates, it
widened into a perplexing indefinite
ness; when he acted hush was thrown
over the hum of contending voices.
Judging of the reception, the result
has been hapyy one, and he is cOngrat-
ulated on all sides for appointing a
strong bench. The new constitution
came to the aid of the Governor in
making the appointments, or he could
not otherwise have mads the represen-
tative selections he did in the interest
of the masses.

1t was mooted question last week
as to whether there would not have to
be an extra session of the Legislature
called because the Convention had
failed to provide for a proper success
ion of the courts, but happily this has
been averted by decision of the Ju-
dietary themselves in meeting of the
six judges in Wilmington ON Friday
The object of the conference, as ex-
planned by one of the judges, was to
consider whether the courts can pro-
ceed at the terms as heretofore fixed by
law, and discharge the powers and
duties vested in them by the Constitu-
tion, without the necessity of a special
session of the Legislature before the
adjourned session.
The following paper was prepared:
Wilmington, June 18th, 1897.-To
his excellency the Governor: In the
opinion of the judges there is no pres
ent necessity for calling a special ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
"JOhn r. Nicholson,
"Charles B. Lore.
''W. G. Spruance,
''Ignatius G. Grubb,
flames Pennewill,
"William H. Boyce."
Judge BOyce took possession of the
paper for presentation to Gov Ebe w.
Tunnel.
As agreed by the conference, the
several county courts will convene ut
the usual times and the terms will be
the same as provided by the present
laws. This is in accordance With the
new Constitution which continues all
laws not conflicting with it.
As to the matter of the meeting of
the supreme court, which is a new
court, it was said that the next session
of the courts of errors and appeals,
which it replaces, would not take place
anyhow until January. From this it
would appear that the matter of fixing
it's term may be left to the adjourned
session of the Legislature in January.
This action does away with the Man
damus case until next January, until
which time it cannot come up.
