LARGE BARN BURNED

The large barn on the George Bright
farm near Newark, was set afre by some
person as yet unknown and totally de-
stroyed on Sunday night.
The farm is occupied by M. c. Jackson,
who at one time occupied a farm near
the Lower Brandywine Church. Mr..
Jackson was about to retire for the night
and had just taken off his shoes, when be
noticed bright glow in the direction Of
the barn. He dashed out to the barn in
his stocking feet giving an alarm as he
ran. ~
All of the was wrapped in flames
when he reached the scene and his efforts
to get some new farming implements out
proved fruitless. All of the stock, how
ever, was gotten out of the way and not
an animal was lost. The loss will reach
s., 1000 partly covered by insurance.
How the fire started is unknown.

INSPECT MILL DAMS

Four members of the Levy court in
spected the Shallcross and Voshell mill
dams in st. Georges hundred Monday.
They were entertained at dinner at the
residence of Representative James T.
Shallcross. The Levy Courtmen met
about 20 residents and property holders
and inspected the two dams, which are
on Head of Drawers Creek. The
Shallcross dam was extensively damaged
by heavy storm, and both of them need
repairs. The question is whether the
court will aid in the cost of repairs. At
torney Horace q. Knowles told the court
awhile ago that it had nothing to do with
such subjects, for they were the affairs Of
road commissioners. Mr.. Armstrong, in
speaking of the matter, said that he was
not making an effort to overruIe the opin-
ion of Mr.. Knowles, but the people felt
that they were entitled to aid from the
county. The road commission has no
money, having used $1,000 to pay old
debts.

THE HISTORY OF HUNTING

The recent newly awakeded interest
in the life and times of King Alfred,
due to the celebration of the thousandth
anniversary of his death and the placing
of statue at his birthplace, has resulted
in some interesting Information on the
evolution of the sportsman. One may
see, by reviewing the customs and con-
ditions Of Alfred's time, how it was that
hunting came to be regarded as the
noblest of all amusements. Itwas abso-
lutely necessary to the safety and well
fare of the people that the wolves, bears,
wild boars, and other dangerous animals
which then roamed over England, should
be exterminated; and, of course, the
King and his knights, as the bravest
and best armed of the fighting popula-
tion, were setting good example and
doing good service in their hunting
parties. These conditions continued for
some hundreds of years and the nobility
of the sport of hunting became firmly
established and hedged about with many
traditions as to the proper method of
killing the game. The persistence of
traditions in England sproverbial; and
hence, after the whole country became
as safe as barnyard, people continued
to suppose that there was something
essentially courageous and fine in deer
stalking and grouse-shooting.
The question now confronted by the
intelligent American citizen is this;
whether tits necessary for new country
to take over the ideas and conventions
of its parents on this subject Are we
to consider man sportsman because
he kills rabbits and pigeons, as his
father killed bears and panthers? Is
the man who takes his sport with rod
and gun any more manly or brave than
the one who arms himself with camera
or microscope? The Englishman would
probably say yes, because lie was brought
up to believe so.
The fact seems to be, however, that
mere ability, to go popping about with
gun does not constitute sportsmanship.
The old-time huntsman, encountering- al
stag at bay with the primitive weapons
of his day, certainly did need to be
brave; his modern prototype, armed with
A repeating rife, is generally safe; the
animal is the one who needs courage.
The idea that there is some peculiar
nanliness in shooting harmless animals
s, let us hope vanishing illusion.

CHARGED WITH LARCENY

| After weeks of investigation, Attorney.
General Ward Monday afternoon made
the first open move in the work of re.
form in city and county politics, by ar
resting Former Levy Court Commissioner
Harry M. White, on the charge of lar.
ceny.
The arrest of Mr.. White was made by
Detective Ratledge and he was held in
Sl,0OO for hearing before the coming
session of General Sessions Court, by
Magistrate Hollis. The date upon which
the crime is said to have been committed
is March 10th, 1901, and the warrant
alleges the larceny of paper money to the
amount of $100. There continues to be
feeling of expectancy in political circles,
as 1t is known that the Attorney-G General
intends making more arrests.
Deputy Attorney General Richards
announced that the larceny of the
amount named did not represent Nall
the money that the county will accuse
Mr.. White of appropriating. The figures
were incorporated in the warrant simply
to give the county basis for prosecution.
The officials would not disclose how Mr..
White, had obtained the money. bv rais-
ing checks for county work or otherwise.
10 do SO would be to produce our testi-
mony before we get into court" he said.
The investigation leading up to the
arrest is the result of areform movement
started by the citizens of New Castle
County for the purpose of hunting fraud.
mlsmanagement and misappropriation in
certain city and county bodies. The first
investigation made was that of the Street
and Sewer Department of the city of
Wilmington, but finding that this work
would engage the attention of the COM
mlttee for many weeks, it was temporar-
lily abandoned and the books of the Levy
Court taken in hand. The work has
been pushed rapidly until the present
development.
WHO MIR. WHITE is
Harry NJ. White entered the world of
politics eight years ago, when he was
elected to the Levy Court from New Cas-
tie hundred, defeating John E. Taylor,
former Sheriff of the county. In 1896
Mr.. White was reelected to the po-
sition over Robert Morrison, who ia
postmaster of Newark at this time.
He did not seek reelection in Novem-
Der OF last year, rules of the Democratic
party preventing him.

> gress for an appropriation for the De-
partment Of Agriculture, for the next tis-
cal year, Of $4, ,7S9, $40, an increase Of
practically 1,OOO, 600 over the prece ling
year. When asked the Secretary the
necessity for SO greet an increase, he re-
piled '.The natural development OF the
Departments work. For instance, the
Bureau Of Forestry will require $3.50, $50,
nearly double last years appropriation,
for work which is the natural outgrowth
of that already begun; the new Bureau
Of Soils will require, to properly con-
time its work, $4,000, an increase OF
$s2, 900; the investigations of plant pa
thology have reached point where an
extra S5S, 900 will be needed to carry on
that work. In my judgment there are
great possibilities for the silk industry in
this country and I have included in my
estimates $4,000 for the purpose ef in
augurating and investigation and expert
ments."
