Trout are more plentiful this week

SCHOOL FUND
INADEQUATE.
Children Turned Out of All the
Delaware Schools.
TEACHERS SEEK OTHER FIELDS.
All Because the 100000 Now APP
propriated for School Purposes
is Found to Be Insult
fcient.

The annual appropriation of 100000
for school fund of the State has been
found to be grossly inadequate this
year, and, even in tine larger towns,
the school doors have been closed
Commissioners in all the districts
found their treasures running short
about the first of April, and the an
nouncement was soon made that
schools which have always been hard
at work for ten months would have to
suspend this year with only eight
Laurel was the first big town to close
its schools, and no teaching was done
there after April 30 Then Milford
schools had to be closed, while num-
berless schools throughout the county
have been shut up for a Fortnight
Even while the women of the State
Federation of Womens Clubs were de-
batting the subject of improved edu-
cation, the school doors all over lower
Delaware were being locked for the
summer In Dover the schools are
able to continue to the customary end
of the year by the Board of Education's
converting the $1,000 and other pay
ments usually made on Indebtedness
to the teachers fund.
Professor C. c. Tindall, superintend-
ent of free schools, was of the opinion
when seen to-day that it would require
$150,000 year to sufficiently supply
the school commissioners of the State
to guarantee ten-months' session of
schooling. "And when you make good
teachers spend half the year working
on farm in order to make their living
during the long school recess that will
be enforced this year, you make of him
half farmer, and then you only have
half a teacher. The condition of affairs
in our State now is a serious blow to
educational progress, and the shortage
of $4,000 makes the 100000 spent each
year poor investment"

GENERAL M0LINEAUX
SEES DEATH CHAIR.
Father of Condemned Murderer In
spects Fatal Chamber.

New York, May ia visit to the
death chamber in Sing Sing prison was
recently made by General Molineux,
rather of Roland B. Molineux, which
aroused much comment among the
officials in the prison, who were sur
prised at the old mans action.
General Molineux has taken great
deal of interest in the case of Fritz
Meyers, who is to be executed on Mon
day next for killing Policeman Smith.
Meyers has successfully fought off ex-
ecution for two years.
When 1T was announced recently that
Myers would have to die General Mol
ineux visited the prison and was shown
through the death chamber.
He examined the death chair with
the greatest curiosity. He looked into
every detail of the grim apparatus and
had its different points explained to
him by the keepers.
What his interest in the chair was
General Molineux did mot explain, but
this is easily guessed, with his son al

jim CORBETT FOR CONGRESS.
The Big Scientific Boxer Spoken OF
For New York Representative.

The suggestion has been made to
send James J.. Corbett, the pugilist, to
Congress from a New York City dis
trict, and Corbett is reported as say
ing that he "does not see why he
should not run for Congress as we'll as
the next man" This is very true; it
all depends upon the voters of the dis
trict. If they are satisfied to be repre-
sented in Congress by pugilist, that
is their lookout. Years ago the voters
of New York City district sent the
famous old-time bare-knuckle prize
fighter, John Morrissey, to Congress,
and Corbett is much ADLER man, in
tellectually, than Morrissey was. Cor
bett says he has never given the great
topics of the day more than passing
Thought, but is willing to train for
them just as earnestly as have train

G Contributions Thus Far Do Not Seem
to Indicate 1t.

Because OF the lack of interest man
ifested the baseball club prospect for
Dover has been. at least for the present,
dropped. There are indications. how
ever, that interest may be revived as
the season advances. Dover has the
material for an excellent club and it
should not be allowed to lie dormant.
