JOHN p. ALTGELD was one OF tue
bravest. ,ruest Democrats that ever
lived. HIS voice was ever raised
against oppression. He was a patriot
in every fiber. He did not hesitate 10
sacrifice his personal interests for the
good OF his kind. His name will be q
tower Of strength to lovers OF liberty
long after the hirellngs, who cIamored
against him in his life time, have been
overlooked by the waters Of oblivion.
His honesty, patriotism and courage,
his hatred Of wrong and oppression,
will constitute for him a more endur-

Work en- the retaining wall of tho
elevated railroad, which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is build
ing through this city, is progress
ing rapidly. Several sections of the
western wall, north OF the Brandy
wine creek, have been completed
and work on those remaining will
be hurried to completion. Another
derrick has been erected at Four
teenth street to facilitate the oper-
atlons. AS soon as the western
wall is finished tho eastern wall
will DE started Before that IS done
however, it will be necessary to
move the railroad tracks north of
the Brandywine bridge from their
present position to Il considerable
distance to the east. Work to this
effect has been started and is pro,
crossing rapidly. A large force Of
men have been at work during the
past week moving the telegraph
poles and wires. They were taken
up and moved seven feet to the
east from point above the Pull
man plant to the Landlth station.
In Il short time the tracks will be
moved also and then the operations
on the east wall of the elevated
railroad will be started.

There is every Indication that tho

The registration in Kent County
was heavy, and to both parties

SOME SCHOOL STATISTICS.
More Than Seventeen Million Pu-

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-Thc annu-
81 report of the commissioner Of cdu-
cation just submitted to th" secretary
of the interior shows that the grand
| total Of pupils in schools, elementary,
secondary and higher. both public and
private, in the United States for til"
year ended June 80 1901. was 17209,-
go, an increase OF 2IS.:t2O pupils over
the previous year. OF this number the
enrolment of pupils in institutions
supported by general and local taxes
furnished by states and municipalities
We're 11.7lO,394 as against II, ~, ,iG2
the number reported for the previous
year.
Besides these there were certain Sno-
cial institutions like city evening
schools. business schools, schools for
Indians, reform schools, schools con-
ncCfcd with aSylums schools for cook
cry and other special trades and vocal
tons that enrolled nearly JrO.GOO pupils.
Adding the enrolment in these special
schools to that for general education,
the aggregate is something over H.
75o,o00 Of our population that received
education for a longer or shorter pc
riod during the year ending June 80,
1901.
The value Of property used for pub

sum from Sti3 1906, GGG in 1870.
In 1870 the expenditure for schools
per capita Of the population was $l.G4;
the past year it was S293 per capita Of
the population, the highest that it has
ever been. 1t was an increase Of 10
cents to each man, woman and child
over the year pr"vi0uS. The average
attendance Of each pupil for the entire
number enrolled was niuCty-nine days

WAS A RETREAT
AND NOT A ROUT
Venezuelan Rebels Give Their
Version of the Fight at La
Victoria
CASTRO'S POSITION SAFE.
Battle Reputed to Have Re-
suited In Defeat Of Revo-
lutionists, Said to Have
Been Undecisive,

WILLEMSTAD. Curacao, Oct. 90
One Of the leaders of the Matos rcvo-
luton in Venezuela who is at present
in Curacao has furnished the following
details and explanation Of the retreat
OF the revolutionary army from La Vic
toria. He says the rebels only aban-
doned the tight after being convinced
that La Victoria was impregnablc and
after President Castro had refused to
come out and attack the revolutionists
outside Of La Victoria. Twice did the
revolutionary general Mendoza at
tempt to force President Castro to take
the offensive and twice the president
refused.
When the rebel re-onforcemants ar
rived at La Victoria last Thursday
President Castro and his forces We're
located at a point on the German rail
road The rebels made a dctour of the
city and cut off the only road of retreat
open to the government forces. They
We're then short of ammunition. and
without the arrival of a train bringing
them half Il million cartridges it is be-
lievo that Castro's forces would have
been anphilated. Preparations for
their retreat had already been ordered.
The revOlutiOuists stationed near Ca
racas, some 200 men under the COM
maud Of General Ramos, are alone re-
sponsible for the retreat Of General
Mendoza. They permitted the train
carrying ammunition to the govern
mcnt to leave Caracas and reach La
Victoria. This train had an escort of
only 100 men. The men under Ramos
did not attack it, nor did :hcy destroy
one of the eighty bridges between
Caracas and La Victoria over which
the railroad runs.
An added proof that the government
suffered terribly In tie La Victoria
fight from the repeated attacks Of the
rebels is found in the fact that Prcsi-
dent Castro does not pursue General
Mendoza. The latter's plan in with
drawing from La Victoria is to obligo
President Castro to abandon the posi-
tions he holds there.
The rebels suffered losses but the
government did also. President Cas-
tro's forces are reduced to 3,lOO men,
while General MatOs still has 5000
men in the field. 1t was not Il rout
but methodical retreat.
In conclusion the rebel officer said
that the rcvolutionists within Il few
lays would be found near Caracas.

BASE BALL AVERAGES.
Comparison Of Both Teams Now
Causes Some Discussion.

The average, Of the two Whining
ton base ball teams have formed
many points for dis uussion since the
averages werd published. One team
! compiled the average, of more men
than the other and in addition to
this one team played moro games
than the other, therefore no good
comparison can be drawn. The best
way to get the general average is to
compute the marks of the first ten
men on each side.
During the past season the Viii
lnington team played 1876 games, of
which they won 81 and lost 80,
therefore their percentage is .69G.
The Wilmington A. A. played 11S
games. but one of these was tied,
therefore is not counted, thus re-
ducing the total number of games
to III. OF this number the A. A.
won S3 and lost "a, thus making
their percentage .7o9, or 13 points
more than Wilmington.
In the batting average Campbell,
Burchell, Weigand and Mack of the
Wilmington team batted above the
300 mark and their total mark made
1893. Four men of the Wilmington
A. A. team batted above the 800
mark, they being Mobitt, Hartley,
Russell and Deal, their total average
being 1l05 or twelve points above
the first four of the Wilmington
team.
During the season the first ten
men of the Wilmington team were
at the bat 1854 times and made 745
hits, which makes the teams bat
ting percentage as .22l The first
ten lnen on the Wilmington A. A.
team came to the bat 2913 times,
despite the fact that their team play
ell seven games less than the Will
mington. The A. A. got 74S hits,
which makes their average 1913, or
just one under that of the Whining
ton team.
The Wilmington team in its 1876
games scored 500 runs, while the
Wilmington A. A. in its III games
scored $40. The Wilmington team
had 2G4 stolen bases to its credit,
while the A. A. had 1911. or 30 less
than the B. B. In two-basc hits the |
