Professor E. 1. Cross, principal of the
Wilmington Conference Academy at
Dover, has taken decided stand against
the smoking Of cigarettes by boys. He
contended that a boy who smokes cigar
cites was absolutely worth nothing as a
student, and that he should not be given
the room in the school he occupies. He
claimed that the habit Of cigarette smok-
ing by boys was doing more than any,
thing else to destroy the mental, moral
and spiritual life. He emphasized the
fact that no scholar at the Academy
should remain as student in that insti-
tuition if he were found to be victim Of
cigarette smoking.
The next entertainment OF the "Star
Course, " under the auspices OF the Chris
tian Endeavor Society Of Forest Presby-
terian Church, will be on Tuesday even

by the Ariel Quartette of Boston. The
favorable and almost national reputation
gained by the Ariel Quartette, during
seasons. past renders an introduction un-
necessary and their managers announce
for the present season program unsur-
passed for excellence and variety. Among
the new features offered are a Japanese
song in costume. Reading with vocal ac-
compartment, and impersonations, which
together with violin and vocal solos,
readings, ETC., will give pleasure to popu-
lar, as well as to entirely musical aud
fences. As the new heater has been put
in at the Opera House there will be no
further difficulty about heating.

chasing the machinery and starting the
plantiHoperation. These gentlemen are
practical men in the shirt business and
expressed themselves as being pleased
with the factory, and if the machinery
can be purchased at the right figure they
will start the local plant at once. Miss
Jennie Jones who was forelady during
the time when MFR. F. Fl. Burgess oper-
ated the plant so successfully, made a
canvass Of the town during the past few
days and has succeeded in securing about
80 hands who are willing to 60 to work
Immediately, and II the factory is started
1t will only be a short time before the
new management will have at least so
operators. If these gentlemen purchase
and put the plant in operation they
