HELD UP BY FOOTPADS SATURDAY NIGHT.
Harry Hawkins the Well Known Fisherman
and Trapper Of Bombay Hook Held up.

A bold aud daring attempt at high
way robbery took place on west Mt.
Vernon Street about midnight Satur-
day night when Harry Hawkins WE'LL
known fisherman and trapper of Bonn
bay Hook Island was held up by two
negro footpads. Hawkins was on his
way to the residence of Tom McClain's
to spend the night and when opposite
the residence of W. G. Hill he was
accosted by two negroes who demanded
his money. The Bombay Hook trap
per seeing his predicament cried ''mur-
der" which appeal was heard by Alex
Smith, then on his way home The
latter had no sooner gotten to Haw-
kins when he too was held up at the
point of a revolver in the hands of a
one of the footpads. The confusion
aroused some of the neighbors aud
fearing its consequences the footpads
let the men go and escaped, one out
Mt Vernon Street and one in the di-
rection of Hudson's Lumber Yard.
Hswkins at the time had only $40 or
$l2 on his person, and believes the at
tempt to rob him was done by some
colored men who have him spotted. "
1t is not the first time footpads have
held him up for somehow they have
gained the impression that he comes
to Smyrna every Saturday and is full
handed from his sale of furs. Neither
Smith nor Hawkins identified the ne
gro footpads.

UNTIMELY DEATH OF ALVAN TAYLOR.
Dies al the Home of His Parents Mr.. aud Mrs.
Isaac S. Taylor Early Yesterday Morning
After Lingering illness Aged 81 Years

Alvan Taylor, oldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Isaac Taylor of this town, died
early yesterday morning at 5. 80 o'clock
at his home on west Commerce Street
after lingering illness from consump-
tion in the 37th year of his age. For
tYe or six year, the disease has
been slowly eating his life away,
the past year of which has kept
him confined to the house. While his
death occasions no surprise to those
who have been watching the progress
OF the disease, there is nevertheless.
profound sorrow that such young life
so full of ambition, SO bright in pros
poets should have passed out. Mr..
Taylor hqd the qualities to make a sue
cess in life. His industry and ambi-
tlon lead him early to leave Smyrna to
seek his fortune in another field. For a
number of years he was a trusted
salesman with Fluke & Co., a large re-
tail grocery store ON Chestnut Street.
Philadelphia, after which he associated
himself with his brother William un-
der the firm name of Taylor Brothers,
and opened bakery, ice cream and con-
fectionery business in Holmesburg
Pa. Success met them at the start and
they built up a prosperous business.
1t was during this prosperous season
that Mr.. Alvan Iaylor's health became
impaired and he soon saw that he must
give up and change his location. Sub
sequently the firm sold out their busi-
ness. Alvan went south in search of
health. He lived time in Florida and
Texas, but to no avail. The disease
had fastened its fangs in his system
and dlsheartened he returned to his
fathers home in Smyrna which he
never left. Kindly of heart and affable
in manner be made many friends who
will mourn his untimely death. He
was member in good standing of the
Jr. Order United American Mechanics.
At this writing the date of the funeral
has not been made, but due notice will
given in the Philadelphia Record.

RDGwAY'S ASPARAGUS TALKTO FARmt rs
Wesley Webb Secretary of Farmers Institute
Makes &c Explanation 10 Regard to 1t.

Mr.. Editor:-At the meeting of the
Farmers Institute in Smyrna some of
thoss present appeared to think that Mr.
Ridgway was withholding some special
information as a secret, more particu-
larly in regard to the variety of aspar.
agus which he plants. Having heard
Mr.. Ridgways talk and the discussions
that followed, at Bridgeville, Milford
and Dover, l can assure you that he
was entirely willing to answer ques-
tions fully and clearly, and stated on
several occasions that the variety
which he cultivated aud afterwards
improved by selection of seeds aud of
plants, was purchased for Barr's NAM
moth but he was satisfied by it's an
pearance that it was some other variety
possibly Palmetto. But he indicated
that the question of the original va
riety was Of little moment, that the es-
sential point was in the fact that the vari-
ETY. whatever its name or character had
been so improved by selectioe of seeds
from rust-proof stalks aud then from
large stalks, that it now produces as
paragus which brings fancy prices,
and is also a heavy yielder and nearly
free from disease. He would, there
fore, in selecting seed or plants, go to
a field that produced the desired re-
suits, namely, large stalks free from
disease, rather than to select by any
name. In other words he would con-
slider the character and qualities of the
plants rather than the name which
might be applied by the grower or by
the scotsman. 1 trust that this state
ment makes the matter perfectly plain.

The Delaware Legislature is down

day bills are introduced and referred
to the committees with quickness and
dispatch. The bills relating to Smyrna
are in course of progress. Represen-
tative Baggs is one of the strongest
temperance advocates in the House,
and if his efforts count for anything,
there will be a great temperance re-
form in this State. The Senatorial
question still remains unchanged, al
though it is reported that five Union
Republicans are to leave Addicks and
give complimentary votes. 1t is not
supposed to have any effect upon the

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
ADOPT THE CAP AND GOWN
BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL REQUIRE
GRADUATING CLASSES TO WEAR THEM
Discussion Brought to a Successful Issue at
Meeting Of Board Thursday Evening and
Carried by Unanimous Vote.

At meeting of the Board of School
Directors of the Smyrna Public School
last Thursday evening it was unani-
mously decided to adopt the cap and
gown at High School Commencement
Exercises, the new system to go into
effect at the coming June exercises.
This innovation has been the result of
a persistent effort on the part of some
of the School Board, supplement with
the approval of the Principal and the
Faculty, and the members of the class
of 1905. For many years it has been
apparent that some method should be
adopted to place all graduates on equal
footing in the matter of graduating
gowns. 1t has been frequently brought
to the attention of the Board that
members of the graduating class, often
some of the very brightest scholars,
have dropped out and refused to grad
uate simply because they could not af-
ford to procure costly gowns or make
as good appearance on the stage as
some of their classmates, who were in
better circumstances. Indeed it has
been a matter of record that parents,
who have sacrificed much for the ed
ucation of their children, have taken
them out of school a few weeks or q
month before graduation because they
were not able to provide their daugh-
ters with necessary gowns or their
sons with good suit of clothes. With
a view of relieving such embarrassment
the cap and gown has been agitated in
the:School Board for year or more and
was brought to successful issue at
the meeting Thursday evening.
President w. II. Janney and all the
members were present and the subject
given hearty discussion. It was deemed
wise to act promptly for as soon as
spring weather opens the matter of
graduating gowns would have been oc-
eupying the attention of the girl grad
uates to more or less degree. 1t was
decided to have all caps and gowns
made of uniform style and material
which the School Directors figured
could be done at an approximate cost
OF 500 an outfit. All graduates tax
ing part in the commencement excer-
cises will be required to wear them and
in the matter of material all gowns
must be on an equal footing so that
even the poorest pupils in the claes
will be able to cope with their more
fortunately situated classmates. Many
of the parents of Smyrna have given
their approval of this plan aud the
School Board are hoping it will be
heartily encouraged. The cap and gown
has been adopted by High Schools
all over Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
other States with success and they see
no reason why it should not be adop-
ted in Delaware.
