While no official announcement has
been made to that effect, it is said the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
decided there will be no cut-rate ex-
cursions run to Rehoboth this season
because of the Sunday train service on
the Delaware Road. This is in keep
ing with the latest policy of the com
pany not to use their trains for excur-
sion purposes and as result local
organizations contemplating outings
have been at loss to know where to
take them. Thus far the favorite place
seems to be Lewes and there are manv
excursions booked to this point.

of Philadelphia. Marcellus Fletcher
was the valedictorian. The address of
the evening was given by Bishop Mon
aghan. One of the features of the
program was an essay Contest" be-
tween A. Darrell Leftwich and Sher-
man Foster, the formers subject being
'Real Power" and the latter's ''Elo
quence." So equally were the honors
divided between the two contestants
that the judges had difficulty in award
ing the prize of $40. After some de-
liberation the judges-Bishop Mona
CHAN, John McLarin and DIR. ]. S.
Cobb-decided to give $500 to each
contestant. A dialogue ''The Auction"
attracted much attention and was
finely executed. The prizes and di-
plomas were awarded by Bishop Mon
Afghan who took occasion to compli-
ment the students and the faculty for
the good work that had been accom-
plished during the year.

1t has been learned that the Goulds
recently planned to enter Wilmington
with the Wabash railroad by tunnel
ing under the city. The scheme was
one of the biggest ever undertaken.
and was part of a project on the part
OF the Wabash to reach Philadelphia.
The cost, however, was so enormous
that the plan had to be abandoned.
The tunnel would have been built
through the whole length of the CITY
and its suburbs, a distance of more
than three miles, and would have run
under Brandywine creek. There was
no other way to get through Whining
ton, the Baltimore and Ohio tracks be-
ing on the west and the PENNSYLVANIA
lines on the east Engineers selected
route. made the surveys and pre-
sented an estimate of the cost to the
Goulds. Then the scheme was drop
ped. 1t is declared that the Wabash
officials still have hopes of reaching
the Delaware river by way of Will

Allen S. 0Imsted Wins In Court-The Foot.
Ease Trademark Sustained.

Buffalo, N. Y.-The Supreme Court
has granted a permanent Injunction
with costs against Paul B. Hudson and
others of New York City, restraining
them from making or selling foot
powder which the court declares is an
imitation and infringement on "Foot-
Ease" low so largely advertised and
sold over the country. The owner of
the trademark "Foot-Ease, is Allen
S. Olmsted, of Leroy, N. Y, and the
decision in this suit upholds his trade
mark and renders all parties liable who
fraudulently attempt to profit by the
extensive Foot Ease" advertising, in
placing on the market the spurious
and similar appearing preparation in
volved in the case. This the court de-
clares was designed in imitation and
infringement of the genuine "Foot-
Ease." 1t is said that similar suits
will be broght against others who are
now infringing on the Foot Ease trade
mark rights. Each package of the
genuine Aliens Foot-Ease has the
facsimile signature of Allen S. Ohm
