The DelmarVla Telephone STOCK,
which went begging some time ago
at IS share, is now wanted, ~ a
share being bid for it. The Dia-
mond State Telephone Company. of
Dover, was to have made combi-.
nation with the Delmarvia, and
thereby given that Company a long
distance service down the State.
The consolidation has failed to ma
terialize and the Diamond State is
extending its line to our city and
intends to ask permission to erect
poles in our city and have an office
on Market street. They have not
asked for the. franchise yet, but
they won't find it easy to get when
they do ask. The only way to get
into the city is by consolidation
with the Delmarvia, which would
pay both Companies better than a
line in opposition to the Delaware
and Atlantic Company, which has
a monopoly of long distance phones
down the State.

The foot ball season has only be-
gun, while the usual fatalities are
being chronicled IN the press.
Young Prettyman Of the Warren
team was one of the victims of the
game played Saturday at the Union
street grounds. His condition is
critical. The only wonder is that
there are not more fatal accidents,
considering the manner in which
the game is played and the piling
of a dozen or more players on top
Of the one who happens to have the
ball in his possession. The game
is played very brutally sometimes,
being no more than smuggling
matches. Broken arms, legs, noses
and fingers and frequently internal
injuries 90 with the game. For all
that the country is foot ball crazy
and WilminOt ton is no execution
THE Beers are not as cowardly
as the FilIpinos. They are not
afraid to come out in the open and
fight the British face to face. A
state of siege exists at Lady smIth
and Mafeking. Around both towns
the Beers are encamped, while in
the towns, General White and Col.
Baden Powell wait tor reinforce
ments 1t is too late to retreat from
either place without an engagement
which neither British commander
courts, judging from dispatches
thus lar received. The Beers are
the aggressors and are more tnan
willing to fight for supremacy. 1t
is a pity with such a brave enemy
there cannot be something honorable
done to prevent the slaughter OF so
many brave men, as battle would
result IN for both sides.
