The widespread interest in Prof.
Stevenson's "Study in Education

Elopement Frustrated.

An interesting little drama was
enacted at Elkton railroad station
one morning last week, in which
the matrimonial plans of a young
couple were seriously interfered
with by the irate father of the
swain. Miss Blanche Wilson, aged
about Is years, and David Warren,
about one year younger, desiring to
get married, and being unable to
do so because the young man could
not get a marriage license without
his parents consent, being minor,
planned to elope to Camden, N. j.,
where they thought they would
have less difficulty in carrying out
their plan. The young man sent
his clothing to that point, and
Thursday morning he and Miss
Wilson met at the Elkton depot to
board a northbound train. The
father of the young man learned of
his sons intention in some manner
and appeared at the station just in
time to drag him from the train as
it was about to start, and march
off with him, leaving the prospec-
tive bride and her friends to pursue
their destination, but without the
wonld-be groom.

Being Dismantled For Junk.

The General Cadwalader, said to
be the oldest steamer in the United
States, is being demolished for junk.
The Cadwalader was recently pur-
chased by a Baltimore party, who
makes a speciality of buying worn
out vessels for junk purposes.
The Cadwalader was built at Will
mington, DEL, in 1S45 for service
ON the Ericsson Line, between Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. At that
time she was a sidewheeler, and was
made propeller about 1860.
When the Civil War broke out
the United States government used
the vessel for service as a transport
between Philadelphia and Fortress
Monroe. The boat had several mar
row escapes from being captured by
the Confederates. The steamer was
formerly the William Whildin, but
about IL years ago the name was
changed in honor of Gen. George
Cadwalader, a relative of the pres
ent president of the line, John
Cadwalader.

The Race Issue In Kennett Schools

ne Race issue III kcnneIt SCHOOLS.
The case of John Taylor, a color
ed man of Kennett Square, against
the principal of the schools and the
School Board of that town, because
his children were separated from
the white pupils, was tried before
Judge Butler at West Chester last
week, the jury returning a verdict
in favor of the School Board.
Taylor alleged that the refusal to
allow his children to assemble as
scholars in the same room or rooms
as the whites was wholly on ac-
count of color, and he asked for
mandamus to compel the directors
and principal to admit them to the
white section.
Prof. Walter E. Dengler, princi-
pal of the schools, gave his version
on the witness stand as follows:
"The beginners were placed in three
different rooms, designated as A, B
and G. Room B, for instance, is
where all colored children areplac.
ed, with one exception, one colored
child being placed in a grade where
children are making faster progress.
By observation it has been ascer-
tained that the colored children
cannot do as much work in given
time as the whites. The records of
the past five years show this.
This being found out, the present
system was adopted, and the colored
children placed by themselves, ex-
cept when a particular one develop
ed greater abilities to advance.
If white child and a colored child
started on equal terms in the begin
ners' room the white child, as a
rule, would outstrip the colored one.

ABOUT PAvEMENTs.
MT. T. H. Motion Makes Statement to
 Fifth Avenue Property Owners.

To the Property Owners on Fifth Avenue:
 At the last meeting of the city council a resolution was offered and adopted providing for the mayor to select some disinterested person to circulate petitions for the purpose of getting an expression from the property owners: first, whether they want this avenue paved or not pavei; second, if it is to be paved, what kind of material Is desired.
 The resolution was so amended as to exclude nonresident property owners from having voice or expression in the matter. As to this amendment, I am sure the city council will reconsider and not be guilty of such discrimination for such policy would certainly not encour- age outside people to invest their money in Birmingham
 I hope that every one of you will sign these petitions, and thus express your wishes in regard to this much discussed and agitated subject,
 To those of you who have authorized me to represent you. 1 wish to ask that you drop me a note expressing your wish for me to further act for you, and give me full authority that cannot be dis puted.
 As to bituminous macadam, I have here tofore stated my objections to this kind of pavement. l am now more thoroughly convinced than ever that the tar in this pavement will evaporate and the soft limestone will soon wear and grind into dust.
 It is scarcely denied that the macadam pavement now on this avenue is good and sufficient for driveway, but all agree that the dust is bad; 1t Is, therefore for the people to say whether they want to

PIG IRON TRADE QUIET, BUT
 HOPEFUL FEELING WITH RE- GARD TO FUTURE IS IN EVIL
 pENcE-coUNTRY PROSPEROUS.

Rogers Brown & Co.'S circular of yes

 It is not surprising that week of com parative quiet has been experienced in the pig iron market, owing to the holi- day season, the extreme severity of the weather and the recent advance in price of southern iron. There seems to be more hopeful feeling in regard to the fu- ture and as the year 1903 passed out with but few disastrous failures, and as the country at large Is in prosperous condi- tion, the pig iron producers begin 10 feel that somewhat better things may be in store for them. No one Is looking, how .ever for a rapid advance in prices or that the production for the coming year will be even approximately as great as 1t was during the past twelve months. It is believed that enough furnace ca pacity will remain idle to prevent exces- sive accumulations of stock and that a reaction will come sufficient to enable producers to run without heavy loss This probably is true in the south on the 5000 basis but northern brands are relatively too low.
 Considering the extreme cold, railroads have done we'll In handling shipments in the movement from the Pocahontas dis trict

This estimate does not include the cost or putting in new water pipe, gas pipe etc. It will be well to stop and consider that the interest on $50000, which I re- gard a low estimate of the total cost would more than pay for watering this avenue every day In the year.
 There are. on this avenue, from Nine teenth to Twenty-second streets 12S lots each with a frontage of fifty feet. If the above estimate is correct, it will be seen that each lot, if assessed equally. will be taxed s3s0.62 It means that this expense added, to taxes. repairs. etc, will con- sume more than one years income from the property that is rented and where it is occupied by the owners, it will prove an expensive luxury.
