PENINSULA TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Mr.. Harry Richardson's Company Now Has
2,IOO in Daily Use on the Peninsula.

The Diamond State Telephone Com
pany, the Dover concern headed by
Harry A. Richardson, now has a sys-
tenn embracing 175 towns and cities
and with 2,10O telephones in daily
use. The company has just completed
line to TaylOr's Island, Dorchester
county, Maryland, which gives a tele-
phone service and connection to the
whole outside world to Church Creek,
WOolford, Madison and TayIor's
Island, for the first time in history.
Although a thrifty section of the
Delaware Maryland Peninsula, that
district, now tied to civilization by a
modern telephone, has had but two
mails per week and has been prac-
tically without railway or railroad
facilities. The company is now re-
building the telephone lines from Sal
isbury to White Haven, going out of
the way to connect up the towns of
Nanticoke, Bivalve, Tyaskin and sew
eral busy towns in that immediate
section of country, with Tyaskin as
the central Office.

-DJY BURGLARS OPERATE At HARRINGTON
Boys Had Held up Railroad Brakeman and
are Charged With Pennington Burglary.

A youthful gang of burglars was
broken up Thursday by the arrest near
Harrington of Charles Moore and Jo-
seph Magnes, II and IS years old re-
spectively, giving their residence as
Baltimore. Both were brought 10
Dover Jail by Constable Collision and
committed in default of bail for rob-
blng farmhouse near Pennington of
S22. Two other members of the gang
escaped when the arrest was about to
be accomplished. Before they we're
captured the boys held up a railroad
brakeman in due Jesse James style.
While they have the appearance of
tramps 1t is believed that a number
of depredations along the line of the
Delaware railroad can be charged TO
them.
The lads, who deny all completely in
the Pennington burglary, were caught
by means of razor which was found
in their possession, together with
about Sc. The razor was identified
by the farmer whose house was rob-
bed, he having previously given a
minute description to the officers of
the weapon. The boys were given a
preliminary hearing before Magistrate
VanGesel at Harrington.

In eighteen years, or since Sheriff
Joseph Mcdaniel held that office,
there has not been a sheriff from East
Dover, and this time, by every prlnci-

Edward Baker and John W. For

ner most BETTING the memory of that
great man and commensurate with the
gratitude of his countrymen." To this
association the gathering of the relics
in The Hermitage is due.
The Hermitage is filled from top to
bottom with the generals treasures.
One of the most curious is a stage
coach used by Jackson when he lived
at the White House. There is also the
skeleton of phaeton, all that is left
of the beautiful vehicle presented to
General Jackson by the Democratic
Republican citizens of Philadelphia.
The phaeton was made from timber
taken from the old frigate COnstitu-
ton.
Jackson's room is almost exactly as 1t
was the day he died. The furniture he
used is all there. 1t consists of bed
stead, bureau, wardrobe, washstand
with six china pieces, table, chairs, So
ia. carpets, curtains, irons and fender.
mirror, brass candlestick and pictures
on the walls. One of the most highly
priced of the Jackson mementOs is the
Decatur jackson silver, purchased by
the general from the widow of Com
modore Decatur and constantly used
at The Hermitage.
Visitors to the st. Louis worlds fair
will have an opportunity to see fac
smile of The Hermitage, as it will be
exactly reproduced in Tennessee's state
building on the plateau of states at the
exposition. All of the furniture and
treasured relics will be removed from
the original Hermitage to its counter
| part at st. Louis.
In the garden surrounding The Her
mitage stands the simple marble tomb
that guards the remains of General
Jackson and his wife. This has been
restored to it's original beauty by the
Ladies' Hermitage association. In his
will General Jackson gave his tomb to
the state of Tennessee. 1t consists OF q

OF THE HERMITAGE.
their velvet lawns and big trees; the
wide driveways along which coaches
rolled to the door of the mansion, all
are unchanged. and, in addition, the
furniture. mementOS and trophies that
were collected by the great Tennessee
an during his eventful life are once
more installed in their accustomed
places. Everything is just as it was
when "Old Hickory" lived and moved
amid the scenes from which he so long
ago departed.
While The Hermitage and its sur
rounding grounds have long been the
property of the state of Tennessee, it
is only recently that the furniture and
other relics which were associated with
the old soldier have been returned in
their entirety to their former abode.
The states first object in buying the
house from Andrew Jackson, Jr., the
adopted son of "Old Hickory" was to
present it to the United States govern
ment for a branch of the Military acad-
envy at West Point. The breaking out
of the civil war prevented the consum-
nation of this plan.
Until recently little had been done in
regard to the collection of relies of
General Jackson until a rumor got
abroad that Colonel Andrew Jackson
III. had decided TO sell the furniture
and other mementos of his grandsire
to a New EngIander. Then the state
rose up in opposition. and under the
leadership of the Ladies' Hermitage
association $4,000 was raised and the
whole collection purchased and placed
in the old homestead.
The original Hermitage, built in 1904,
was log house, part of which is still
standing. To this Jackson removed
from Hunters Hill. The structure was
n two story block house, not ceiled, and
contained three rooms, one on the
ground floor, two above. To this build
ing was added a smaller one about
twenty feet from the main structure,
