Roberts Large Progeny by
Several Wives.
UTAH WITNESSES SO ALLEGED.
Rev. Wishard Said Roberts Introduces
Mrs. DIR. Roberts to Him as His Wife
The Latter Told Lady Physician She
Was Mrs. Roberts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--A number OF
witnesses from Utah appeared before
the committee OF the house of represent
atives which IS investigating the case OF
Mr.. Roberts of Utah
Mrs. DIR. Miles gave the details of a
call she made at the house of Mrs. DR.
Maggie Ship Roberts on April II, 1897,
relative to some medical society affairs.
She addressed Mrs. Shipp Roberts az
"Dr. Shipp," whereupon, the witness
said, she was interrupted with the re
quest: Doctor, you can call me DIR
Roberts. !"
Mrs. Roberts went on to explain, the
witness said, that she had been married
to Mr.. Roberts for seven years. She
her IL future be addressed as '4Dr. Rob
erts, not "Dr. Shipp." subsequently
the witness called at the house and Mr.
Roberts came in and was introduced
She could not recall whether there was
q specific introduction as husband o.
whether his entry was with such famil
iarity as to indicate marital status
When Mr.. Roberts crosse examined the
witness she repeated the same story.
After the witness had stepped aside
Mr.. Roberts submitted an election to
the effect that this testimony related t.
1897, whereas the committee had u,
jurisdiction over him prior to his be.
coming a member of congress.
".Then you contend, 8 said Chairman
Taylor, that the testimony should be
confined to polygamous practices sub.
sequent to March 4, 1902
Il do" answered Mr.. Roberts.
'.The objection will be noted" re.
sponded the chairman.
Rev. S. E. Wishard gave his business
as that of superintendent of the home
missionary work of the Presbyterian
synod embracing Utah. He knew both
Mr. Roberts and Mrs. DIR. Roberts and
related his first meeting with the latter
in September, 1897. This occurred, he
said, on the train at Manti, Utah. He
was III the car with Roberts and spoke
to him.
A lady sat beside him and he beck.
oned to her and then introduced her,
saying:
MRS. Roberts, Mr.. Wishard"
On cross examination Roberts asked
what reason he could have in putting
himself in such q position with one
who opposed him.
The witness said that the facts were
as stated.

Christmas Gifts.

Beginning with December fifteenth
and extending until New Years is
probably the most unhappy time in
every momans life, and all caused by
her effort to celebrate the birthday Of
Christ in manner which she consid
ers appropriate. She spends more
money than she can afford, her hus-
band gets cross, the home is neglected,
she works herself sick trying to make
present out of 10 cents worth OF
yarn that will look as II it cost a dol
lar, and she is not satisfied with what
she receives. She spends week after
Christmas in calculating how much
the silly affair cost her and dreading
the receipt of the first of January
bills. This is an annual affair, and
no one gets any wiser by the painful
experience or acts any better. The
formation Of an Anti-Christmas-Giy-
ing Society would Indicate more sense

airy clubs at which no book but an
authority on whist is ever opened,

Roberts, Daughter.

Miss Ada Roberts, daughter of the
congressman from Utah, is in Wash
ington with her father as his secre-
tary and companion. She bias been
interviewed by a representative of the
Philadelphia North American to whom
she said:

seems to govern these people that
their audible remarks might be dis
tasteful to me. On the contrary,
know that on several occasions the
rude people who INDUCED in these
spiteful sayings were much gfatitled
by reason of the fact that ] heard and
understood the Significance Of their
iests.
Miss Roberts said considerable mere
than this and it was not more con-
plimentary to the people who have
made her the subject OF almost an in-
sulting curiosity. Surely, simply that
she is the daughter Of her father is no
reason why she should be subjected to
the indignities of which she complains
and 1t is no credit to the people Of
Washington that she is SO treated.

DELAWARE COLLEGE AFFAIRS

lBESTPREPARED FRESHMANCLASS
IN THE HISTORY OF THE INsTI-
TUITION.
Delaware College opens for the year
1s99-1sOO with the best prepared fresh
man class in the history Of the institu-
tion. Twenty-seyen new students have
thus far been admitted to the college,
most Of them to the freshman class,
and few more are expected. About
forty-ive young men In all applied for
ladmlttance, and of these between fif-
teen and twenty were rejected on lack
of preparation. A few failed to report
after taking the June examination. The
new students range in age from 16 to
% years. Five are just past 1G, eight
arc between 16 and rs, eight are be-
tween II and 20. and FIVE are 20 or
more.
The new comers are all from Della
ware or the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land. Seven are from this city. and
twelve are from other parts Of New
Castle county; two are from Kent coun-
ty, three are from Sussex county, and
three are from the Eastren Shore of
Maryland Most of these young men
are graduates of local high schools. and
the degree of their preparation seems
to prove decided advance in the work
Of the public schools.
Three Of the new comers have enter
ed the mechanical engineering course;
two the civil engineering course; twelve
the Latin scientific course; two the
general science course. four the cleo
trical engineering course, three are
taking an irregular course, and one
takes the classical course.
Work begins this year with new
commandant Of cadets and a new in
structor in the department Of mechani'
cal and electrical engineering. A more
extended system Of elective studies alsC
goes into effect this term.
All tho indications point to the pos
sibility Of considerably stinening thI
entranoe examinations in the year 1900
1901. in view Of improved work in th'
public schools. whence most of the stu
dents OF the college are drawn. Thi
improvement is evidenced by the bet

chosen at the recent meeting OF the

Mr.. Nields has shown the thoroughness

OF the Central National Bank, both OF
which are prosperous institutions. He
is well informed on the details Of bank

a character to make him no enemies,
