wvED IN SHORT ORDER.
rredicament of n College Professor
Owing to Vnssar's Law.

Owing to Nnssar's Law.
Curious verification is said to have
been given not long ago to the tradi-
tion that no man is allowed to become
II member of the Vassar faculty unless
he be married. If an unmarried man
make application for membership the
rule is to first inquire if he be married.
The proverbial exception to this rule.
says the Chicago Chronicle, occurred in
the case of a young man who sought to
fill the Vassar chair of history not long
ago. and was so acceptable in every way
that his examiners forgot to inquire
into the most important thing of all
his state of double or single blessed
ness. Not until the day for opening the
college was at hand did anyone of them
recall how shockingly they had left
undone those things which they ought
to have done. The young man. by that
time arrived. had to confess that he was
a bachelor. Well. there was nothing
for it but the one thing. so the faculty
hemmed and hawed bit and finally got
it out that the young man must get
married.
"We'll give you just two weeks" they
said, "otherwise youn have to resign
your place. Surely, you know of soma
girl that you can get to marry you
within two weeks
1t was now the turn Of the poor
young man to hem and haw. but he saw
that there was no alternative. his whole
professional future depended upon it.
so he permitted himself to be hustled
OF the campus before any of the sus-
ceptible students caught sight Of him
promising to return within a fortnight
married. Tie was rs good as his word
though he had a pretty hard time full.

The movement to remodel tho Levy
Court of Sussex county is not a thing
Of a few weeks. Ever since the Five
Commissioners bill for New Castle
county was passed there has been a
growing sentiment in the two lower
counties to have It in modified form in
operation down there. If the people
OF Sussex want five commissioners in
stead Of thirteen, they ought to have
them. Thirteen is an unlucky number
ANYHOW.

We do not wonder that the Delaware
Republicans resent the appointment Of
Maryland men to I'LL the Delaware
offices in the internal revenue service.
There are certainly Republicans in
Delaware who are just as competent
and deserving as those who are being
imported from Maryland. 1t Is appar-
ent that the Maryland collector Is
building up fences for some aspiring
Maryland leader. But there is no just
reason for carrying the factional fights
in the Republican ranks of Maryland
over the Delaware border

We think that the Daily Republican
errs when it assumes that every per-
son who falls into the south side race
is drunk. It has not been many months
since a small child who was
visiting in this city was drowned in
that body Of water. At that time the
suggestion was made that as the walk
up the Brandywine was along the edge
of the race and the top Of the cement
ed race wall formed the best part of the
path, while the steep sides afforded no
chance for a person who fell in to crawl
out, that 1t would be money well spent
TO put barrier of some kind between
the pedestrians and the water.

that the closing game of the season was
