Professor James E. Carroll and
Charles B. Prettyman of Dover, and
Charles E. Woods of Wilmington,
will go to Baltimore on March 1S, to
attend the session of the Grand Lodge
of Maryland, A. o. U. W. The Del
aware men have been appointed a
committee by Grand Master Workman
Benjamin A. Groves to look after Della
wares interests when the application
of the District of Columbia comes up.
The Workmen of Washington are
anxious to sever their connection with
the Maryland Grand Lodge and be-
come part of the jurisdiction of Del
aware, because of the lower number of

President Roosevelt has approved
the bill establishing the Census Bu-
reau as a permanent branch of the
public service, but has issued instruc-
tions to the Secretary of the Interior
in connection with the permanent force
and the appointments to be made there
to after July which will be sore
disappointment to those Senators and
Representatives who confidently ex-
pected to secure the transfer of their
special friends to the classified service.
The President directs attention to the
language of the law, which provides
how the appointments are to be made
first, from the present employees, and
second, all new appointments to be
made in accordance with the civil SER
vice law. These appointments are to
be made by the Director, with the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the Interior,
and therefore the President has in
structed that official in regard to the
policy that shall be followed in ap-
proving nominations made by the Dl-
rector. The effect of the interpreta-
ton of the law by the President will
be to drop from the rolls of the Cen
sus Bureau, between this and July l.,
from 1000 to 1900 employees. The
persons thus dropped will not be eligi-
BILE to transfer to other departments of
the Government, as was confidently
believed at the Capitol by those who
managed the bill. The President has
uniformly contended that the trans
fer of so many people to the civil SER
vice rolls was unfair to those who
have passed the required examination
for entrance to the classified service
throughout the country.

President Eliot's explanation of the
action of Harvard in giving Prince
Henry the degree of LII. D. was grace
full, if not convincing; but, really, the
university needed no apology for what
was, after all, merely acompliment, al
belt it was all the greater for being an
unusual one. 1t was in the power of
the institution to take this action of
its own motion, without apology to
anybody, and the degree being an
honorary one can do no harm to either
giver or recipient.

PRINCE Henry of Prussia, Germ

PRINCE Henry of Prussia, ,Germany's
Imperial Envoy Extraordinary to the
United States, virtually completed his
official non political mission in Phila-
delphia Monday afternoon. His re-
turn to New York at g. 80 o'clock P. NJ.
rounded out the most memo1 able tour
ever made of this republic by royal
visitor. The Prince, as he was leaving
the Union League, expressed himself
as being better pleased with his re-
ception in Philadelphia than with any
of those accorded TO him since his
arrival at New York, on Sunday, Feb
ruary 23 last. 1t was the final well
come to the distinguished visitor
from an American city, and, in keep
ing with its tradition, Philadelphia s
greet ng, entertainment and farewell
were generous, whole-soul and
decorous. There was no roaring oi
cannon, no wild hurrahs, but through.
out the ten miles of streets traversei
by the Prince and his escort the
demonstration of a great city's gooC
feeling was such that even the guest
satiated as he must have been with
fortnight of congratulatory display
could not but feel thrills of pleasure.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special pres
cription of DIR. A. Boschee, a celebra-
ted German Physician, and is acknow-
lodged to be one of the most fortunate
discoveries in Medicine. 1t quickly
cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung
troubles of the severest nature, remov-
ing, as it does, the cause of the affec-
tion and leaving the parts in a strong
and healthy condition. 1t is not an
experimental medicine, but has stood
the test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increas-
ing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced
in the United States in 1868, and is
now sold in every town and village in
the civilized world. Three doses will
relieve any ordinary cough. Price rs

1T is clearly evident that the rank
and file of the Democratic party of
Kent County is content to follow the
lead of Richard r. Kenney, says the
Dover State Sentinel. There is NO
other man that can in anywise dispute
his leadership. 1t is also clearly
evident that Willard Salisbury has the
control of the State machine. These
two evidently have a clear under
standing with each other. This is a
sorry plight for the Boilers to be put in.
Their refusal to obey majori't 3Ie,
may land these two delectal emo

The faculty of Delaware College has
received more letters from Europe ad-
dressed to the University of Della
ware" which shows that that institution
is still selling degees in various parts
of the world. The writer's had con-
fused the college at Newark with the
alleged university, which attracted so
much attention about two years ago.
1t will be remembered that the Uni
versity of Delaware was chartered with
a dentist, a saloon-keeper and one
other persons as corpOrators, and i'm
BSediately after the dentist, went to
Europe. Since that time letters have
been received at different intervals
asking for information concerning the
institution.
How easy it is to get a ''bogus
degree" It can turn out an LII. d.
apd Ph. d. while you wait. Unlike
legitimate colleges where students
have to give years of study to learn a
degree, these bogus degree mills keep
no staff of teachers, have no buildings
or apparatus; have no concern but to
issue receipts for moneys and make out
degrees of any character while you
wait. And this is the institution char
tered university of Delaware. Not
only in this State but other States of
the Union have the same kind of
mills" which result in so many wear
ing borrowed plumage."
