For the first time in the history
of the Methodist Conference meet
ings, it is more than probable that
the ministers and laiety will have
to pay for their own entertainment
when the next session of confer
ence couvenes in the city of Will
mington next March. This is the
proper thing, and should have been
enforced by the ministers them
selves years ago. 1t has been well
known that the various places
selected to have the annual sessions
of conference have looked upon the
occasion as a hardship. Many
poor man or woman has been al
most compelled to entertain one or
more people at some inconvenience
to the family affairs, as we'll as to
the material shortening of the table
comforts after the conference had
departed and in most cases, those
entertained were better able to en-
tertain themselves from a financial
standpoint, than those who con-
tributed to their comfort. But the
greatest hardship fell upon the
women folks, who frequently were
compelled to remain at home to
look after household affairs, when
they might have attended the ses-
sions. 1t is we'll to abolish an old
custom long since Outgrown.

TEE time i5as Come when i

TEE time mas come when the
people of Delaware must face a new
era in the public school question
and its best interest for the future.
Under the present good school sys-
TEN some inscriptions clerks are
abusing the generosity of the State,
and are not getting the results for
public education that should be
had from the money expended. In
other instances, clerks have refused
to settle with the State Auditor,
and at this present time, there is in
Sussex county one district where
the tax payers have raised the
money to run a school, but the
clerk by refusing to settle with the
Auditor, has prevented the district
from receiving the State dividend
of s22o to pay the teacher. The
present system has been of great
value, but the time has arrived
when there must be radical changes
in the system. The rural school
houses must be done away with,
and the concentrated graded school
succeed them. This must come
gradually and the plans worked
out by experience. 1t also entails
the carrying of children on stated
schedule to and from the school
house. This will result in a more
regular attendance; in better schools
where children can have the oppor-
tunity to get better education !;
where better salaries will be paid
to teachers where the personal
comfort of the child and teacher
will be at the best; and, in com
pulsory education between certain
years, and the establishment of a
truant law. In the concentrated
schools, scholars can be taught to
/, be better citizens be made to i'm
bibe the proper respect to the natl
Onal flag and cherish patriotic
motives. There is room for pro-
gress in our public school system,
and we are glad to know, that at
the last session of the State Board
of Education, special committee
was appointed to look after the
needed legislation, and we sincerely
hope that there may not be some
narrow minded legislator in the
next General Assembly, who will
hold up this great stride in our
school progress.

Porter Vance Saved His Car.

Eden, Colo, Aug. 9.-W. Vance,
porter on the forward sleeping car
wyuta. was one of the heroes of the
D.. & r. G. disaster. To him and his
nerve and bravery the people on that
car owe their lives. He was standing
near the front end of the car when
the crash came and with a rare pres
ence of mind rushed to the hand brake
on the front of the car and began
Tightening the brakes on the wheels.
His car was slipping forward from
the momentum and from the terrible
drag in front, caused by the forward
cars falling into the stream. Vance
held onto the brake like grim death.
His hands clenched the wheel until
his fingers almost bled, but he held on
until his tight grip stopped the car.
The forward cars broke from the
sleeper and fell into the water while
the car which Vance had held with
the brake stopped one third of the
way on the brink of the chasm over
hanging the gulch below. The for
ward trucks had left the track and
gone down, but the remainder of the
coach stayed on the tracks and the
lives of the passengers were saved.
1t required two engines and nearly
half hours work to pull this sleeper
back from the brink of the chasm.
Nothing but Vance's cool and brave
work at the brakes kept the car from
plunging into the stream.

HOUSE BLOWN UP.
Unknown Men Place Giant Powder in
a Closet.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 9.-The residence
of Mrs. Bella Powers, at 1872 South
Wyoming street, was blown to pieces
early today. Three unknown men
placed a large charge of giant powder
in a closet, lighted the fuse and fed.
The trio were seen leaving the house
by Guy Sweet. a roomer, but as the
dwelling is inhabited by several fam
lilies he thought nothing of it until the
explosion came. Sweet and his wife
and Tom HOWE and Mr.. and Mrs.
Swan johnson were more or less Sc
verely injured by the explosion.
There is no clew to the perpetrators
and no motive for the deed is assigned.
None of the people in the house at
the time or boarding or rooming there
is lit any way connected with labor
troubles or is known TO have enemies.
The police believe the dynamite was
meant for Colorado refugees, scores of
whom have come to Butte and the dy-
namiters mistook the house.
