Farm Depression in England.--Agri-
cultural distress Is very prevalent in
Great Britain, and a correspondent OF
an English paper puts the situation In
the following way; Wheat used TO DO
the farmers main crop in the past.
Now through foreign competition the
wheat crop Il an Improbable one. In
the past the wool crop was a very use
ful one for the farmers pocket: but
now II Is only worth half the money.
Beef In the past was worth from los 10
ia per stone. In the present day Il
only fetches from 6s to S. per stone.
Pork at the present time Is hardly
worth raising. Basley and mutton
have been the only props left for tho
farmer to rely upon during the last few
years, and even these seem ready 70
break under the strain.-Ex.

Improvement In Irish Butter.-Irlsh

instruction into Ireland. 10 beginning
to recover the position Il had lost be-
cause OF lnforlority, II Is now finding
good sale In England, but ow pg to
It's bad reputation Il is sold as Danish

two economic truths; C) That in
siruction, u practical does really help
the producer; CD that a reputation
for the production OF good products IA
an easy thing TO lose. a hard thing TO
get back, and a good thing when Il Is
got back. In some districts OF Ireland
the average price o. butter made In tho
districts has improved % a pound be-
cause OF dairy instruction.

MURDERER CAUGHT,
Detectives From Philadelphia Make
a Clever Capture in Delaware,

aClever Capture in Delaware.
REHoBorH, DEL, Oct. l.-Detectives
Hamm and Geyer of Philadelphia yes
terday captured Edward C. Knott, who
was wanted for the murder of Louis
Herdic at Rehoboth.
The detectives have been on the man g
trail for several days, but it was not
until few days ago that they located
him at Rehoboth. When they reached
that place they found that the house at
which Knott was living was situated in
the centre of a twenty.acre field, and
that it would be impossible to approach
the dwelling by day without being OBJ
served and permit the fugitive to escape.
The officers nit upon ruse that worked
satisfactorily. In the rear of the house
was wooded piece of LAND.
The detectives were driven to this in
light wagon. They entered the woods
and o, dered the driver to proceed down
the road beyond the house in which
they knew Knott was. After the wagon
passed the house Knott was seen to leave
and start toward the woods. The de.
tectives were soon upon him, and lie was
made prisoner. He made no show of
resistance
Knott and Herdic quarreled in a Phila-
delphia saloon. They were ordered out
of the place by the bartender, and re-
sumed their dispute on the street. Knott
and man named David Peoples later
met Herdic at Ninth and Mexican Streets
that city, when there was an alteration,
and Herdic was knocked down. He was
taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, and
at first was not thought to be seriously
injured. He died three days later. The
news of his death caused Knott to leave
Philadelphia.
Peoples surrendered himself to the
Detective Bureau. Policeman Lockhart,
who resides near the scene of the quar-.
rel, succeeded in arresting Knott, but he
escaped while the policeman was open
ing the patrol box.
Knott was taken to Philadelphia last
night and was arraigned this morning
before Magistrate South at the City Hall,
and committed to prison to await the
action of the coroner.

ELSEWHERE in The Sun will be found
an important and interesting letter from
James MacAlister, L. l.. D. of the Drexel
Institute, Philadelphia. DIR. MacAlister
is one Of the foremost educators in Amer
lea. His opinions on educational mat
ters are accepted as final everywhere.
He insists that women have made an
everlasting place for themselves in the
management of public schools. He de-
fers to their judgement in many matters
himself-hence his phenomenal success.
He is today the guiding spirit Of one Of
the greatest institutions of learning in
the United States and in every part of
that great stablishment-The Drexel
Institute-may be found the results of
women's work.
DR.. MacAlister believes in women; he
believes in their ability to direct school
affairs. He knows their worth.
Nobody will contend for an instant
that the public schools of Wilmington
are all that they should be or could be-.
The High School for instance.
Nobody will dispute the assertion that
women have more time to devote to edu-
cational work than men.
Nobody will attempt to deny that there
are women in Wilmington today whose
abilities and experience qualify them for
service in the Board OF Education.
The female taxpayers of Wilmington
are many and they are entitled to repre-
sentaton in the Board of Education.
Every mother in the city has right
to be represented in the board and nine
out of ten of them believe that two or
three of their number should be mem.
bers of the Board of Education. This
discussion must not degenerate into q
personal matter. THE Sun has no ak to
grind and no quarrel with the present
Board of Education or any member
thereof.
The proposition under discussion, and
the only point at issue, is whether or
not, the public schools of Wilmington
would be bettered if women were active
ly engaged in their management?
THE Sun thinks 80.
DR.. James MacAlister thinks so.
Hundreds Of mothers IN Wilmington
think SO.
What member of the Board of Educa-
tion will resign to make a place ior
competent woman?

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and Il is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc., by lis pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.'
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case ofScrofula to King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ
tained of DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

tained in these advertisements will be
fonnd to be absolutely accurate and stu

''rHE Board of Education is not con-
trolled by the President of the Board,
DR.. Evan G. Shortlidge. 1t contains
twenty-fOur members and the majority
rules all the time. The attack that has
been made upon the doctor is uncalled
for, especially when a member of the
Board has to give his time for nothing.
If member of the Board attends to
the duties Of the position it takes con-
siderable time every week and is no
sinecure. That good and capable men
can be found to give their time to the
duties of the position speaks we'll for
the men who compose the Board of
Education. The schools would not be
any better managed if the Board was
composed entirely of "ladies. .''-The
Duly Republican.
Ladies' are never considered in con.
nection with public schools. Their place
is in the police court. The Sun deplores
the fact that legitimate newspaper dis
cussion should subject the mothers of
Wilmington to insult at the hands of
Mr.. W. Scott Vernon, Editor of The
Duly Rputhcon.
1t is to the mothers of Wilmington
and not to the "ladies" of Wilmington
that THE Daily Republican owes its sue
cess and it ill becomes Mr.. Vernon to
thus offend.

A pillar of state; deep on his front en-

Deliberation sat, and public care;
And princely counsel in his face yet

establish a record for gross extrava-

cred in Kidding the city OF policy gam
blers for a few weeks. 1t was nothing
but big advertising scheme in the
first place; and in the second place it
would be pretty state of affairs if the
moribund paper at Fifth and Shipley
streets were to be permitted to expend
public funds for private purposes with
out the authority of the Levy Court.
We reiterate the statement that the
Levy Court has not of its own volition
been extravagant in any particular. 1t
labors under the disadvantage of not
always being the Judge of what is fair
compensation for services performed,
certain obligations of the county being
mandatory rather than discretionary.

charges Of damaging character and refuses
