1t might be a good thing if
there was a little better order
kept during the lectures, espe-

stay around the tents. People
go to the lectures to hear the
speakers and not to be annoyed

An Interesting Wedding

An interesting marriage &C.
Cured yesterday at the chau-
tauqua grounds, at which time
j. r. Shields and Miss Grace
Minchal were united in mar
riage by Judge Hosbrook in his
tent on the grounds. 1t was
about 800 o'clock that people
began to gather about Hos
brooks tent and as soon as
they learned there was to be a
wedding ceremony performed,
standing room was at a pre-
MUM. The groom became
rather fretful and nervous and
ordered the tent closed from
the vulgar stare of the waiting
crowd. AS soon as the cere.
mony was over, there was some
fine music rendered by the
dish-pan brigade, headed by
Joe Barrett. The young peo-
pie were unacquainted in the
Valley and when they ran onto
John Bender at the grounds
they felt happy. John accom-
panied them as a sort of a
chaperone and was a witness
also.
Judge Hosbrook has won an
enviable reputation as a sensa-
tionalist and his particular
brand of advertising is GER
tainly interesting, to the pub
lie. Some one was cruel
enough yesterday to suggest
that Hosbrook had cut the price
OF his marriage tee from $500
to $1.9S during chautauqua,
but this is merely hearsay.
The young couple are we'll
known in Logan where they
will make there future home.

This morning a we'll known
banker, of this city, was seen
at several places of business
trying to borrow a hammer.
At first it was thought he was go
ing to do some work at his place
of business, but later he was
seen on West Erie street, near
the scene of the runaway yes
terday. He was pounding on a
telegraph pole and was asked
what he was trying to do. He
informed the questioner that
he was going to clinch TIE
buggy tongue that was run
through the pole by the runa-
way team yesterday. In ex-
PLANTATION it seems the team
struck the telegraph pole with
such an impact that the buggy
tongue was run through it &C
cording to the story told by the
banker. We are not taking
the responsibility for the truth
Of the affair, however.

LAW SUIT OVER $3.50 wGRTH OF JEwELRY
George B. Pearson of Mlddletown Wins Out
Against the W. r. Main Company.

In the Superior Court at Whining
ton last Monday, trial was begun of
the case of W. R. Main Company
against George B. Pearson, of Middle
town, an action to try to recover for
goods alleged to have been ordered by
DIR. Pearson and delivered to him, but
not taken by him. The Main Company
is located in st. Louis, and alleged
that DIR. Pearson had ordered $3.50
worth of jewelry from its salesman, the
Jewelry being sent to Middletown but
not being taken by the man to whom
it was addressed. Francis H. Hoffecker
represented the company and Martin
B. Burris appeared for DIR. Pearson.
The jury was instructed to return a
verdict for the defendant, on the
ground of insufficient proof regarding
the contract offered in evidence by the
plaintiff, and verdict as directed was
returned.

Western railroad Superintendents
have set afoot movement to get rid of
all eye-glassed engineers. 1t is esti-
mated that in the West alone 5000 en-
gine drivers will lose their jobs, if the
Superintendent have their way. Fully
that many men with glasses are known
to be handling locomotives, and the
managers hope to make clean sweep.
The Brotherhood of Engineers an
nounces that it will oppose the move
ment determinedly. It's representa-
tives assert that if the defect in mans
sight could be remedied by use of
glasses, he ought to rate as first class
engineer, other things being equal.
But the Superintendents say they are
tired of having fast trains at the mercy
of men whose defective vision makes
them unsafe to trust.

Milking Machines.

Now that milking machines have
shown US that they can milk cows
without drying them up new claim
is being made for them. The milk is
drawn in vacuum and deposited in
a covered pail through tubes without
coming in contact with the atmosphere.
1t is well known that milk is spoiled
by bad odors from the stable and from
dust and dirt falling into it during the
process of milking. In the best dairies
a great deal of expense and care are
continually expended to procure milk
as clean as possible. If the milking
machine proves as satisfactory as it
promises to be it will revOlutionize
dairying, not only solving the labor
problem as applied to milking, but by
furnishing a better quality of milk at
less expense. 1t is said that milk
drawn from the udder by the milking
machine and carried at once to thor
oughly cold sterilzed bottles will keep
In good condition for a week.
Smyrna times., 1906-12-26

The political situation is active,
and the rumors published reflect the
hopes, desires and ambitions of
those who hope to benefit by the
results. A determined effort will
be made to elect some other than
Senator Alice as his successor in
the United States Senate; but if the
compact is carried out, which was
made when Senator Henry A. du-
Pont was elected last Spring, then
Kent and Sussex will have to settle
the matter-and under that situa-
ton, it now looks as if Senator AL
lee heads the race. Judge Penne-
will and Harry A. Richardson are
his leading competitors, with posi-
bly, J. Edward Addicks showing up
with several votes in the caucus.
The organization of the House and
Senate will be bone of contention
over which there is likely to be
some little fighting. Speaker Con-
ner would like to be speaker pro.
tenn. again, while Senators Men
denhall and Sparks of New Castle,
are equally as keen for the honor,
which means control of committees,
and therefore legislation. Needless
to say the various interests are alive

LOW SALARIES WEAKEN P0BLIC SCHOOLS
Supt Spald Recommends a Minimum Salary
of $40 q. Month TO Gail More Teachers.

In his annual report submitted to
Auditor George H. Dick, Superinten-
dent A. r. Spaid, of the New Castle
County schools, declares there is a
dearth of teachers, and the only remedy
is to increase salaries. The average
salary, including principals, now is
about $40 a month, while the colored
teachers receive an average of $50 a
month. Mr.. Spaid recommends that a
minimum salary of $40 be fixed, that
new basis for the distribution of the
school funds be arranged, a different
method of collecting school taxes, a
graded system for the. country schools,
a compulsory school law, a normal de-
partment in connection with Delaware
College and effective county supervi-
sion be developed. He also says that
unless his salary, which is now $1,000
annually, is increased, he will not be
an applicant for reappointment as
county superintendent.

IDEAS OF HEAVEN.

The Romans believed in the Elysian
fields of the Greeks.
The Haitians locate heaven in one of
the beautiful valleys of their island.
The Assyrians believe heaven is in
the bowels of the earth or far away in
the east.
Some natives of the south Pacific
think heaven a place where they will
be white.
The Greek belief, according to Socra-
tes, was that the plous went to heaven.
like prisoners set free, TO dwell in un-
clouded peace.
According to the ancient astrono-
mers, heaven was seven or eight solid
spheres, with planet for the center OF
each. Some even ran the number up to
seventy.
The Egyptians thought heaven to be
on many islands at the foot of the
Milky way. Those worthy spent the
time harvesting beans and in feasting
singing and playing.

The time is now drawing at
hand for making new resolutions
for the coming year. Wouldn't it
be well for the Town of Smyrna to
make some. Let it resolve:
To have better streets and pave
ments.
To stone or macademize Main
and Commerce streets.
To give better police protection.
To beautify the approaches to
Smyrna.
To improve the surroundings at
the standpipe.
To induce new industries to To-
cate here.
To foster those we already have.
To renovate and re-decorate the

To have better lighted streets.

A varied Ration ana Fresh Air.

At the central experimental farm of
Canada it has appeared that in the
case of fowls kept in cold premises
the feeding of varied ration in gen.
erous quantity. in combination with
fresh air, not only proved incentives to
egg production, but kept the vitality of
the laying stock so unimpaired as to
permit OF both satisfactory egg Yield

and whole wheat were also fed, and

Etiquette.

Etiquette" is a French word which
originally meant label indicating the
price or quality, the English ticket"
and in old French was usually special
lied to mean a soldiers billet. The
phrase "that's the ticket shows the
change to the present meaning of man
ners according to code. Burke solemn
ly explained that etiquette had it's
original application to those ceremon.
les and formal observances practiced
at courts. The term came afterward
to signify certain formal methods used
in the transactions between sovereign
states"

IN THE WHEELHOUSE,
1T Is There That All the Forces of "a
Great Vessel Are Directed

Great Vessel Are Directed.
On entering the wheelhouse of an
ocean liner a landsman is likely to be
awed by the group of instruments and
masses of complicated machinery on
every hand. Your eye will first be
caught by the wheel or wheels, for Of
ten there are two or more of them, one
directly in line with the other. The
first Of these is an insignificant look
ing affair perhaps foot or so in diam
eter, which seems out of all proportion
to the work it must accomplish. Di-
rectly in front of it stands the ships
compass, while back of it are massed
many complicated wheels and levers
which transform the slightest motion
of the wheel into the great force which
guides the ship.
All the great steamers are steered
nowadays by the aid of steam or cleo
triclty. In the old days half a dozen
men at times would struggle with the
wheel in high seas, and sailors have
been killed by the rapid revolving Of
the projecting spoke handles. The
BILE to guide these great ships with the
slightest pressure. The rudder, weigh
ing many tons, is perhaps 500 feet
astern, yet with a touch of the polish
ed wheel the great 700 foot ship will
swing from side to side with almost
the delicacy of a compass needle. The
wheel that the steersman operates
merely governs the steering engine.
which, in turn, moves the great rud-
der.
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge Is to find the wheelhouse
with all its curtains tightly drawn, as
often happens, and the man at the
helm steering the boat without see
ing ahead at all. At night or even by
day If the light of the pinnacle Is con-
fusing the wheelhouse is often COM
pletely shut in. The man at the wheel,
it is explained, does not need to look
ahead. The lookout high up in the
''crow's nest" and the officer on watch
on the bridge will keep him informed
If any object is sighted The duty of
the man at the wheel is to keep the
ship on her course. Throughout his
watch of four hours he must keep his
eyes on the compass and nowhere else
On one side of the wheelhouse are
posted the sailing directions, which
give the wheelsman explicit orders
The course to be followed for the day
is placed in a neat little rack called
the compass control. 1t suggests the
rack in church at the side of the pull
pit which announces the number OF
the hymns and psalms for the days
service. The compass control will an
nounce, for instance, n, Z, 8, W, OF
some such formula. The wheelsmaI
glances at this as he takes his watcl
at the wheel and holds the great shiI
exactly on this course until he is re
lieved.-Francis Arnold Collins in st
Nicholas.

Wednesday was the tercentenary of
the birth of the United States, for it
was on Dec. 10, 1906, three vessels
sailed from Blackwall, London, for
Virginia, to found an English colony
in the New World. The outcome of
that expedition had, as one result, the
founding of the United States. The
names of the historic old craft were the
Sarah Constant, Godspeed and Dis
covery. They put into Dominica,
Feb. "a, 1907, where they remained
until Feb. 26. They also spent some
time in Guadaloupe and Neves. At
the latter island the passengers were
landed and encamped for six days.
The first description of America ap-
pears in the diary of Samuel Pepys, an
English statesman of the 10Th century,
who writes: ''Ye master of ye Godspeed
telleth me that ye country is passing
fair, of green verdure and most pleas
ing to We eye. He stateth that fruits
are abundant and ye water like unto
crystal. Ye pilgrims after Offering ar
Thanks to Him who showereth all
blessings on us, proceeded in search O
food and found it in abundance. Y,
natives, though fierce looking, wer,
not hostile, but Master Herbert saitl
they have the actions OF those wht
cannot be relied on."
