HARVEY P. KELLAR, OF GREENWOOD,
TALKED Or AS HIS SUCCESSOR.
The Superintendent Of Public Schools,
Prof. Leon Davis. Disappears Sud
denly.

Shorty after the Sussex County
Teachers Institute closed the Superin-
dent, Prof, Leon Davis, whose home
was at Greenwood, disappeared, and
rumors soon bad a number Of stories
ailoat. Investigation has revealed the
facts that the Superintendent had mar
ried but not to he young lady to whom
it was reported that he was to have led
to the altar this month, and the facts
of the case have caused a stir among
those engaged in public education in
lower Delaware.
Mr.. Davis was appointed to the
position of Gperintendent of Public
Schools for Sussex County by Governor
HUM about two years ago, and has
made a splendid record for himself aud
for the cause of education, and his
method of leaving Office has been a
source Of regret by the many friends
who recommended BIN
His re. ignation was sent TO Governor
HUM this week, and his father, Alfred
Davis one of the best respected citizens
of eastern Sussex, is quoted a1 saying:
at is simply a case of a runaway mar
riage, followed by a better business
opening. / have a letter from him
stating that he was married TO Miss
Wary Fisher f this county near Green
wood, on Wednesday, November 25, the
day before Thanksgiving.
"The young woman is of a very
estimable family,and l think. yes | am
sure there is nothing TO hide concerning
the marriage. called upon her father,
DIV Fisher, and he manifests no spirit
of resentment as the young people con
cerhed are of full age-he only regrets
that both families were not fully in
formed of their plans"
There is a rush for appointment to
fill the vacancy of Superintendent of
Public Schools, as the position pays

Its Annual Inspection ordinary.

Atthe annual inspection nf Company
B, of the First Infantry took place last
Friday night at the Armory, and the
turnout was decidedly poor; only 80
men answering to roll call. The in
spectng officer found the guns in bad
order but the clothing showed a marked
improvement over that of last year.
The property and meeting rooms were
in censurabe condition. and should he
a mark of disgrace to the man who is
acting as janitOr. The State of Della
aware is liberal with the rural com
panies, and there is no excuse
for them failing to keeping their
property in good condition as the
government requires. In years past
Company B has held a proud record in
the National Guard for efficiency in all
lines, and for the pride of the town
these short cOmings should beremedied.
There is no excuse to be etfOred for
such an inspection as that of last Fri
day night.

the Light and Water Commission, held
last Monday evening, the matter OF
placing meters in the stores and resi-
dences of those using the electric lights

was under consideration. the Board

abuse of the system. By placing the
meter system in Milford, it is believed
that the stores now kept open until a
late hour when no business is being
transacted. will close up, and thus cut
off part of the useless load now carried
by the plant.

could carry, and in some cases has had

been impossible for him to get the ma
terials to get her into commission for

now prevents the work being done, so
that she will not go into commission
before next spring.

The Caulk Building Going up Rapidly

Something like jar almost equal to
the explosion at Greenwood, has been
given to the building business of Mil
ford this winter by the continuance of
building operations right along through
freezing weather. Heretofore Milford

freezing weather set in, but this winter
workmen from Philadelphia and Cam
dem have been engaged in putting
down the foundations for the Caulk
Dental COmpany's new building, and
have kept at work regardless of weather.
The same has been the case with the
stone masOns building an ornamental
wall in front of the property of Mrs.
Eliza P Clark on North Walnut street.

men who have always got out Of work.

work could not be done in freezing
weather and remain solid.

The Use of Finger Prints.

An article recently published in
the Washington Star says that the
department of commerce and labor
has resorted to an old method of
identifying such Cinnamon as have
the right under the immigration laws,
to be in the United States-towlt:
The finger tip scheme. This is fea-
tture that is to be put into practice
1lpon the retcomFm endation of lmml-
grafton Commissioner Sergeant.
It is narrated that this method OF
identifying individuals was put into
use in France about twenty years
ago and is now generally IN use
throughout the world to detect cases
of false PRESERVATION. 1t lis contended
that by it's adoption a closer tab can
be kept on the orientals who have
been admitted in accordance with the
customs regulations.
It is proposed to keep on file at
the central office in Washington
large number of cardboard squares,
each bearing two photographs, two
finger prints and dozen or so differ
emit measurements of the individuals
who have passed immigration inspec-
ton. The photographs will be front
and side views.
In the finger tip process the orlen-
tai is instructed to place the deslg-
mated finger upon an linked surface
of a pad the nail turned to the left.
Then to roll the finger slowly until
the nail is turned squarely to the
right This gives a complete I'M
preston of the ridged surface OF the
finger end. 1t is commended that these
finger prints give a surer means OF
Identification than either the physl-
cal measurements or the photographs
It has been scientifically proven
that the arches, loops, whorls ana
composites that are traced IN cell
cate designs upon the finger ends OF
a child retain their intimate rela-
tion with each other during all stages
of life, and that even after death the
delicate lathe work will remain I'M
til decomposition takes place. Ihls
is shown in the fingers OF Egyptlan
mImmies that have renamed un-
changed for centuries.

Of Interest to Thin, Weak People.


1t is perfectly understood by every
sick man or woman that if they can
get some remedy that will stop the
gradual loss of flesh and strength,
their recovery is assured. People
that are nervous and unsteady, have
dizzy spells, with weakened memory
and loss of ambition, their blood is
thin and watery. 1t shows in their
sallow complexion and tired manner;
soon as they commence to gain flesh
they look better and sleep better. To
gain from / to pounds of good,
solid flesh per week, the blood must
be made rich and pure. DR.. Gums
Blood and Nerve Tonic puts in the
blood the very pith of what makes
pure, rich blood in the most direct
way, and cures diseases by making
strength This tonic is in tablet
form, to be taken right after meals.
1t enriches the blood, making force
where there was faintness. For wo-
mems weakness a better remedy was
never made. Sold by all druggists
