day by Score Of % to O.

Within an ncarnate arena of hundreds
encouragement and cheering to the ca
pacity of their lusty lungs, urging them
to break the fearful odds against which
they were contending, Georgetown's
football heroes and defenders of the
proud Blue and Gray, went down in de-
feat before the herculean horde of col
lege men from Easton, Pa. The visitors
simply swept the field of carnage with
the gallant little band, leaving it
crippled and manned mass of bruises.
The score was 90 to 0.
From the very beginning Georgetown
had its work cut out. 1t was up against
combination of weight and team work.
the like of which has not been witnessed
on the local gridiron this season. Out
pointed in nearly every department of
play and pounds lighter in every posi-
tion, the showing of the Blue and Gray
was remarkable. And that the score
was not greater is the wonder OF the
25G0 or more enthusiasts who occupied
seats on the side lines.
So far as the spectator was concerned.
the day was an ideal one, but for the
men in the two massing lines 1t was tor
ture. The sun scorched the backs and
heads of the men. and early showed its
Ienfeebling effects. This, coupled with the
fierceness of play, resulted in constant
changing of the men, until, at the close

FLAMES IN A BOSTON HOTEL.

Boston, Mass, Feb. ~ Fire in the
upper part of the Bowdoin Square
Hotel, early today, threw $50 guests,
mostly actors filling engagements at
nearby playhouses, into confusion, but
all escaped safely, except Mrs. Frank
Barry, wife of the stage manager of the
Howard Athaneum. Mrs. Barry jumped
from the fourth floor of the hotel to a
roof two stories below. She was I'M
conscious when help reached her. 1t
is thought She will recover.
The locality of the fire and the fact
that the hotel is connected with the
Bowdoin Square Theatre prompted the
fire chief to give three alarms, The
flames were confined to The three upper
stories of the building, but the total
loss, which is placed at about 50, COO,
is shared by the occupants of the stores
on the street floor, who suffered from
smoke and water. The theatre also sus
tanned some damage from Ukis cause.

Does the school boy of today know
anything of Longfellow, Holmes
Whittier, James Russell Lowell, and
Fitz-Greene Halleck, whose poems his
father, or even his elder brother, can
still recite? He is such superior
young person that we hesitate to ques-
ton him as to what he really knows
and what he has put behind him as
belonging to past age. One often
wonders whether he has abandoned the
habit Of reading everything except the
current periodicals and popular novels.
Ii the worthless Just mentioned and
others Of their day have been laid on
the shelf, so far as educational purposes
are concerned, who are their successors?
The modern school education is I'M
questionahly a great advancement over
that Of even 20 years ago, yet is it not
possible that in some ways its attitude
is a tritiR too inconoclastic? Conserva-
tism and clinging to traditions are in
their way excellent habits for a com
mercial people, and we should be sorry
to see the boy of today grow up en-
tirely ignorant of all those things
which make fragrant the memories Of

farm near the village of Zion, in Cecil

morning he arose, dressed himself and
went out to the barn. In the stable he
cut II piece of pillow limo, which he
made fast to ioist on the outside of
the stable door. He then mounted a
spindle wagon and placing the rope
around his neck, jumped from the
wagon.
The first intimation his family had
that he had committed the rash act
was when his lifeless body was found
dangling from the end of the rope.

WILMINGTON & CHRIS TIANA TURNPIKE.
Company Excerpts TO the Regularity of
tine Proceedings tn stop Toil Taking.

Company Excerpts to the Regularity of
the Proceedings to stop Toll Taking.
Immediately after the public meet
ing held at Newport about three weeks
ago relative to the Wilmington & Chris
tian turnpike, three men appointed by
the meeting called upon Magistrate
Yeates and after making affirmation as
to certain matters, served notice upon
the tolltakers that the taking of toll
must cease until after they had an OPP
portunity to examine the road and
make a report. Accordingly, the TAX
ing of toll was stopped, but it is said
that the gate keepers will resume their
duties next week.
The reason for this change in the
situation is that the company has
begun litigation, Walter H. Hayes, its
attorney, having taken out "a writ of
certiorari, questioning the regularity
of the proceeding, and the matter is to
| be heard at the next session of the
Superior Court. This does not involve
the merits of the case.
4 majority of the stock in the com,
pany is held by tho Wilmington City
Railway Co., and it is understood the
company is willing to rent the road
for nominal fee, reserving the right
to operate trolley line thereon.

One OF the Largest manufacturing Firms
inlthe Country sells Direct From the
Factory.
Tho retail profits on carriages range
from 30 to 20 per cent on manufacturers
prices, according to circumstances. The
cost of q carriage when ii comes from
the hands of the makers is an entirely
different thing to the amount asked by
the local dealer.
The Columbus Carriage and Harness
CO., realizing this condition. have
adopted the rlan of dealing direct with
carriage buyers and eliminating the
middleman altogether They sell to
the customer at the same rate they
formerly sold to dealers, thereby saving
him the intermediate profits, and in
addition gives him Il wider range of
selection.
Since the adoption of this policy by
| the Columbus carriage Co., the bust
ness has iucreust.,s rapidly ana they are
now the undouhted leaders OF theil
class in the country. Buggies, phatons,
surreys, &C.. bearing TIER name are
known from che end of the United
States to the other. and have q reputa
tion for quality sur. assed by no othel
house in the world.
One Of the distinguishing features o
the relations between the Columbus
Carriage CO., is the liberal manner il
which the company deals with thei
customers. Each carriage is sent tt
the customer with the definite under
standing that if it is not in every wa,
satisfactory, it can be returned to tn
factory and the purchase money vii
be returned and no freight charge
made either way.
This company also supplies harness
robes, and other horse accessories a
wholesale prices, and on the sam
terms as the carriage sales are made
they can be returned at the maker
expense if not entirely satisfactory.
