GEN. GOMEZ LITTLE JOKE.

The couHtry's attitude towards Cuba
was indicated in the courtesy extend
ed Gen. Gomez during his recent visit
to Washington. The grizzled old
Cuban hero visited the President, was
shown the utmost courtesy and re-
turned 30 Cuba with clearer and truer
ideas Of this country in its relations to
the Queen of the Antilles. He is al
ready enlisted in q campaign for Palma
as the first president ofthe Cuban Re-
public. but General Gomez admirers
feel that no one is more clearly enti-
tied to the honor than he himself As
he left the White House he turned
about and glanced critically at the
building, and remarked facstiously:
IL think Cuba will furnish a better
home for her president. anyhow. -

AUSPICIOUS OPENING AT DELAWARE,
College Opened Thursday with Thirty.Elght
Applicants TO Freshman Class-Bright
Prospects for the Institution.

Delaware College opened Thursday
with the largest Freahman class in
many years. In all 80 students have
been admitted to this class, one to the
Sophomore class and one to the Senior
class. The ages Of the new students
range from IS to 36 The average age
is 1Sl gears. Most of the newcomers
are from Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, but there are also
students from Pennsylvania, Ohio and
New Jersey.
An increased proportion of the
Freshmen are taking the Engineering
courses. There are II entering the
Civil Engineering course, entering
the Electrical Engineering course, and
. the Mechanical Engineering course.
The whole number of students will
probably reach 110.
1t has been demonstrated that there
is at least one very important advantage
in attending a college the size of Della
ware College, as it affords opportuni-
ties for individual instruction that are
not to be had at some of the larger in
stitutious. The instructors at Della
ware College give as much individual
instruction as possible, and the thor
oughness of the work is now mani
Testing itself, as it has advertised the
institution to an extent that is now
known as one of the standard colleges
of the country.

was a boutonniere, and souvenir card,
the latter containing the name of the

At meeting of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the home Of
Mrs. George A. Hall Monday evening,
Miss Anna Hazell was elected alternate
to any one of the delegates, recently
appointed to the State Convention
(Which meets at Dover, October the
18th, 10th, and 17th,) who may not be
able to attend. Part of the evening
was devoted to summing up of the
years finances which were found to be
in a good condition.
The names of the two Superintend-
ents elected by the W. G. L. o., Mon
day evening, September 9th, were un-
Intentionally omitted from the list by
the Unions report. These two, Miss
Susie Hudson and Miss Anna Hazell
as Superintendents of the Band of Hope
represent work, than which none il
dearer to the members of the Union
Miss Hudson will be the Bands repre-
tentative at the State Convention-an
other delegate by virtue of Office.
There is much anticipated from ou
annual meeting, and it is hoped that
number will arrange to go to Dover il
hack one of the days of the Conven
ton, so that the business session AM
the evening meeting can be enjoyed b.
them. Thursday, October 18th, q
which date our national president, Mrs

Miss Anna A. Gordon, will be present
it is thought, will be the preferable da
to thus attend the convention.

DOGS HOSPITALITY TO A PREACHER.
Amusing Incident That Transplred a
Bombay Hook Light House Recently.

One day last week the Rev. Mr..
Gearhart came on from Nebraska to
visit some relatives here. The after
noon of the next day (for his time was
limited) they rode to the lighthouse to
see his sister, Mrs. Benson. He had
scarcely alighted from the carriage
when Captain Benson's dog, by some
kind of intuition discovered the visi-
tor was a preacher and cornered and
caught chicken for supper. 1t was
the more noticeable because the dog
was not in the habit of doing this
thing, but there seems to be some
kind of connection between ''yaller'
leg" chickens and preachers that even
dogs catch on to.
