week, Harry Oldham, lad of II
years, son of Geo. Oldham, who is
a trackwalker on the Columbia &
Port Deposit railroad residing near
Flte's Eddy, was shot in the arm

happened while Martin was lower

lad was taken to a hospital in

amputated above the elbow and it
is not thought his accident will
prove fatal.

A Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar accident occurred on
Wednesday evening at the home of
Mrs. Mary G. Kirk, on Cherry
street. At about six o'clock, while
supper was being prepared, the
large kitchen range upset without
any warning, precipitating boiling
water, a kettle of pears which
were being preserved, and the
other things on the stove onto the
floor. The wood fire was rather
low at the time .or the flying en-
bers might have caused confla-
grafton. Mrs. Kirk was standing
by the stove but fortunately
escaped injury of any sort, and no
very serious damage was done.
The accident was caused by one
of the feet upon which it rests
falling from beneath the stove,
allowing it to tilt forward with the
above result.

by the trustees Of the Tome Insti-
tute to consider the question of
further expansion and enlargement
of. the Institute. The same COM
mittee will also consider the ques-
tlion OF a gymnasium. There are
already two gymnasiums, but these
accommodations in view of the in.
creasing number of students, are
inadequate. The plans which are
being considered for this building
are very extensive. The manual

have been removed from the orig

The Rev. EIwood to Be Tried.

DEL, on Monday to consider the
now famous sermon of Rev. Robt.
A. Elwood, pastor of Olivet Pres
byterian church, Wilmington, on
the topic: "Should the Murderer
of Helen Bishop be Lynched.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the subject returned a
divided report. Rev. S. w. Rel
gal, of Salisbury, and Elder Geo.
A. Blake, of Elkton, while they
disapproved of the sermon, recon-
mended that the case be dropped.
The third member of the commit.
tee, Rev. S. P. Perry, of Chesa-
peake City, agreed with the major
ity of the committee in the disap-
proval, but he recommended that
Mr.. Elwood acknowledge that he
was wrong in preaching such a ser
mon when the public mind was
inhamed. Mr.. Elwood refused to
make any admission of having
done wrong in delivering his SER
mon and demanded trial. The
Presbytery Immediately decided to
grant the request and will meet to
hear the charges in Dover on Jan
uary 10. Rev. j. S. Gilfillan, of
Newark, and Rev. Joseph Brown
Turner, of Dover, will make the
charges. Mr.. Elwood will be de-
Tended by ex-Attorney General

men who had taken an oath to free
their country were turned away from
them by orders which, undoubtedly,
emanated from Rome and were car
ricd out by the Irish episcopate. We
do not wish to revive old quarrels, but
we take leave to say that the splendid
record of Irish priest!y patriotism in
1893, 1914, 1859, and 179S was not sus-
tained in 1861. We cannot remenl-
Der single priest, except Father Nc
Mahon. who was made prisoner after
the battle of Ridgeway in Canada
QS66) and suffered several years Of
imprisonment, who sacrificed life or
liberty for Ireland during the Fenian
period. And, as for the Irish bishops,
the less said about them in that con-
nection the better. Some. like C;rdin-
al Cullen and Bishop Moriarty, were
Extensively hostile, while Il majority of
the others were either unfricndly or
apathetc."
Father Shcchan apparently thinks it
was Il crime for the Fenians to take
an oath to be true to the cause of their
native land while it was all right for
the Irish constabulary to take an
oath to be true to England. OF course,
Father Shrclun knows ii was not al
ways wrong for an freshman TO swear
fidelity to his native land. In 1911 an
Irish bishop publicly administered an
oath i'll the old cathedral of Kilkenny
to the assembled rebels who had risen
against the tyranny of King Charles
agents in Ireland. If it was right to
take an oath i'm 1911, it was right to
take it in 1850. AS for Cullen and
Moriarty, they did not popuariZc them
selves with the Irish episcopatc for
their dcnunciation of Fcnilnism. Many
Irish prelatcs and priests would have
blessed ii were there any prospect OF
ultimate success.

Lind on Education,

The ST. Paul Dispatch gives the fol-
lowing report of Ex-Governor Lind's
address OH the public schools:
Congressman-elect John Lind, be-
fore the high school council, pleaded
in favor of the teaching of morals in
the public schools. Education, how
ever good, without morals was one
sided and did not tend to develop the
whole man. 1t was this kind of edu-
cation that made for selfishness and
greed in the individual and in the ma
ton. Little wonder that there were
trusts; little wonder that nation, de-
veloped along mere educational and
physical lines, sought for aggrandize-
ment of power 1t was because he be-
lieved in moral education that he was
an anti-imperialist, so-called.
His ideal of a citizen was person
of strong physique, a body healthy and
well trained so that every member will
respond to demands of the mind; an
intellect sufficiently developed 10 rea-
son correctly and express correct judg-
ment; having the moral sense develop
ed to perfection. The typical man
should have a correct conception of
duty and justice. He must have a
disciplined will. The old system Of
education gave more heed to the moral
side of the child. Today there was
too much tendency to shape education
along selfish lines. The solution of the
problem must be through the teacher
and by degrees. 1t must be seen tC
that the moral and human side Of the
child be developed. The moral educa
ton would curb the evil He would
like to sec more morality, more re-
ligion in the schools

Henry Austin Adams.

Inc fOllOWlnS appeared Ill recent
issue of the New York World:
Henry Austin Adams, famous as Il
lecturer on Catholicism and Il prom
inent member of the knights of Col
unlbus, has disappeared from his
Brooklyn home. 1t is thought he is in
Europe.
Mr.. Adams was formerly Protest
ant Episcopal clergyman. He en-
braced Catholicism seven years ago
and became known all over the United
States as a lecturer. His work for
his adopted church won a gracious
acknowledgment from the Pope, and
Cardinal Gibbons wrote the introduce
ton to Il published volume of his Iect-
ures.
Mr.. Adams disappeared in the last
week of August, 1862. lie called upon
his brother, Charles Frederick Adams,
of No. 3;6 Halsey street, Brooklyn,
and announced that he intended to take
Il long rest. He said he might go to
Europe.
He has been heard from only once
since that time. He wrote from Ham
burg the first week in September, say
ing he had arrived in that city and
would not be heard from for some
time. When he went away he was in
very poor health.
Charles Friedrich Adams said to a
reporter:
My brothers absence does not i'm
the least alarm his family We feel
sure he is safe. lie was unstruny
when saw him in August. He came
to me in Il highly nervous condition
and declared he was going abroad for
Il long rest He left a statement of h,s
business affairs in my hands and
asked me to give what money I got

eve believe he has gone to Switzer-
land and is domiciled in the Alps some
where, at work upon literary effort
in praise of his beloved church. He
was a great admirer of Cardinal New,
man, who was also a converted Prot
estant Episcopal clergyman, and long
wanted to initiate him in retiring from
the world.''
Mr. Adams was born in Boston about
forty-five years ago. He was for a
number of years rector Of Grace Epis-
copal Church, in Buffalo, and then
came to Manhattan, where he assumed
the rectorship Of the Church Of the Re
decmer. 1t was while rector of this
church that he read extensively of Car
dinal Newman and his works. This
converted him to Catholicism. He en-
braced that faith and became one Of
the most ardent champions of the
Catholic Church in America.
