DELMAR, Feb. 2l.-William Dorsey,
colored, of this place, attempted to out
rage the wife OF William Carey, white,
here on Saturday evening last, and was
onl y prevented from accomplishing his
purpose by the little sonof Mr.. and Mrs.

About 3 o'clock on the night given,
Dorsey, knowing that Carey was absent
from his residence, knocked at the door
of the house. The door was opened bv

in the face with his clenched fist, telling
her to the floor.
lie then attempted to commit crmi.
nal assault, when the small son OF the
frightened woman came to her rescue.
The little fellow was only armed with
a small club but he used this to such
good effect on the head of the black
tiend. at the same time calling for as.
sistance, that Dorsey took fright, gave
up his purpose and took refuge in fig ht.
A few minutes later ncighbors had
been apprised of the affair and they were
soon in pursuit, making free threats of
lynching the cowardly assaiIant should
they catch him.
Fortunately for him, however, he was
first overtakcn by an officer, captured
and yesterday was taken to the George
town Jail to await trial
Mrs. Carey is entirely Frustrated over
the affair and at one time it was thought
that the shock to her nervous system
had been 50 great that she could not re-
cover.
She is now ON a fair road to recovery
and her little boy is enjoying the result
of his hcroiSm over the able dcfcns" he
made for the honor Of the being who

The recltatlOnS were bv classes. The
first OF these, an infant class, scored a
success 10y several wcll-rendered nurs-
cry gems among which was an apos-
trophe to her doll by little Leonora
Richardson. When we say it was
"cute," we exhaust the feminine
superlative of excellence.
The gem of the evening, however,
was 4 recitation of" The Three Kings"
by Miss Minnie Yeager. 1t was not a
surprise, however, to her friends. The
proficiency attained by this Miss of
fifteen is indeed remarkable. Satur-
day night she held her auditors SPELL
bound by the mastery rendition of
that beautiful poem of the great Long
fellow. Her ennuciation, meditation
and gesticulation were simply perfect,
and it is difficult to conceive how any
professional could have given better
expression to the poets feelings than
this young lady, SO generously endowed
by nature with the primary qualifica-
tons for oratorical power. 1t is by no
means improbable that she may make
a name in the lecture or dramatic field.
The distribution OF the presents was
made in novel manner Old Santa

scarcely necessary to note that he
came i'll by door for other reasons

longing to the teachers of the several
classes, tagged with the name of the

appearance of two children in might

presence and he beats hasty retreat

very palpably sympathetic audience.

DAYS of ancient Greece, the city on the
banks of Alphcus became renowned
for deeds of daring instituted by Her

4 piano solo by Mrs. Bovine was
not the least appreciated feature OF the
programme and the audience insisted
upon an encore.
Herbert Bashford read one of his
own poems, "On the Fertile Shores Of
Nebraska" which was well received.
Mrs. =. c. Koford's singing, which
followed, elected, as it always does,
unbounded applause.
The programme closed with the an
nual address by President Il. $. Bing-
ham, an able paper forecastine the
degree of excellence to be attained 10y

The association met Wednesday
morning in Unity Auditorium. Presi-
dent Bingham presided, and the ses-
sion was opened by music.

to the kindergarten section, and in

lateness of the hour when these pa

At the evening session, after mus
