PRINTERS IN COUNCIL.
Work of the International Typograph-
ical Union.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-The agree
ment with the American Newspaper
Publishers Association was accepted
by the l. T. u. convention Wednesday,
assurances being given by Frederick
Driscoll, labor commissioner for the
publishers, that they would ratify 1t
next February
The new agreement is but Slightly
different from the one which expires
May l, 1907, and insures the newspaper
publishers against walkouts, strikes or
boycotts, they agreeing to arbitrate all
differences respecting wages, hours
and conditions of labor.
national board of arbitration Is
created, to consist of the three mem
bers of the union executive council and
three of the stanoing committee OF the
Publishers association.
By a unanimous vote the delegates
to the international Typographical un-
ion convention adopted resolution eX-
pressing their full confidence in the
officers and executive council, congrat-
ulating them upon 1.-The wisdom and
prudent foresight shown in the con-
duct of the contest for an eight-hour
day." and especially indorsing the ac-
ton of the levy of the ten per cent. as
sessment for the purpose of the strike
fund.
Hot Springs, Arkansas, gets the next
I. T. U. convention. Although a vote
was not taken, the nominations were
made, and there is no mistaking the
sentiment of the delegates. The only
other city in the race is Indianapolis,
Indiana. Vicksburg having been with
drawn after the delegates attested
their preference for the Arkansas re-
sort. Boston, which gossip had SAID
would bid for the prize, was not nomi-
mated.
st. Joseph, Missouri, made bid for
the convention of 1909, and Seattle,
Washington, also wants this prize,
holding forth the Alaskan Exposition
as an inducement why the delegates
should meet in that city three years
hence.

Drawing the Line.

We have followed the plow, welded
the hoe, served time on the public
roads under an austere overseer,
swept the backyard, worked the gar
den, churned the butter, washed the
dishes, nursed the baby and performed
other various and sundry disagreeable
tasks in our times without a murmur,
but when it comes to cleaning streets
under three lady bosses-excuse US,
please. Three women to boss you.
Great Caesars ghost! Just the
thoughts of such a catastrophe Is
enough to give man the "buck-ague'

Treasury Buys Silver.

Washington.-Only four offers to sell
silver for subsidiary coinage were
made to the Treasury Department
Wednesday under the invitation ex-
tended to the owners of bullion week
ago. and but one of them was accepted.
Each tender was of $4,000 ounces, and
ali of them came from New York bull
lion brokers or producers. The lowest
price was 6662 cents an ounce and Di-
rector of the Mint Roberts announced
that it was the only one that received
favorable consideration. The three
other bids went up as high as 66.SS
cents an ounce and these the director
regarded as too high and will reject

Worlds cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world pul
from 1898 to 1908 the average was w.
6s4.146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next f1ve year
period the average will be nearly 49,
600, 900 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre-
yious period. This indicates pros
nerous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as Tor the
export trade.

The University of Notre Dame, it ap-
pears, has some features that can not be
duplicated in any other school. 1t is one
OF the old, well-established colleges, with
settled traditions reaching back sixty-four
years, with a distinguished staff OF pro-
fessors and excellent library and labora-
tory equipment. Its discipline is of the
paternal kind-strong without being op-
pressive; and as it embraces in its scope
lege work, its appeal is as broad as it is
potent. Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the famous Indiana University,
however, is the fact that it has arrived at
Its present marvellous development abso-
lutely without endowment. An announce
ment of the courses provided at Notrs
Dame appears on another page.

CHESwOLD COUPLE MARRIED 50 YEARS.
Company Of Frieuds Honor Mr.. and Mrs.
David N. Clouds Saturday Evening.

CHEswoLD, Dec. 26-Having come
into possession of the fact by some
means that December % was the fif-
tieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. David M. Clouds, of
this town, about thirty of their friends
precipltated hearty celebration of it
last Saturday evening. The object
was to make it thorough surprise to
them and it was nicely executed by
marching in body upon them from
Mrs. Mary A. Casson's, living opposite.
The company carried with them re-
fresh ments, which were served, and
the evening proved to be one of great
pleasure to all. Mr.. and Mrs. Clouds
were subjects of hearty congratula-
tions with kind wishes and a shower
of souvenirs were left to honor the
event. 1t is little interesting to re-
late that Mr.. Clouds and Miss Mary
Finlow then living at Bishops Cor
ner, were married Dec. %, 1856, the
Delaware railroad having just been
completed to some point near Dover
and the first passenger trains were
put in service May 2Sth of that year.
The young bride and groom took the
train at 9 a. m. for a wedding trip to
Philadelphia which at that time con-
sisted of one passenger coach and one
box car to gather up the freight until
they reached Wilmington, so they did
not arrive in Philadelphia until p. m.
Cheswold at that time was called Leip-
sic station.

QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY IN SMYRNA.
The Home Coming of Smyrnlans was Large

The Home Coming Of Smyrnlans was Large
But Nothing Transpired of Much Note.
Christmas came off in Smyrna this
year more quietly than any Christmas
event in many years. The day was
cold aud blustery and many hugged
close to the fire. Indeed it was des-
tin city a day of family reunions and
home gatherings and this was about
all there was to the day. The only
church which had Christmas Services
was st. Peters. There was an early
service, preaching service at 1920
o'clock at which Rev. G.. Valerie Gill
reath, rector, delivered a strong Christ
perance sermon, and the Children's
Service and Christmas treat in the
evening. The latter service was an
enjoyable event to the children of the
Parish, each child being remembered
with gift. Asbury M. E. Church did
not have its usual early morning
Christmas service on account of being
unable to use the ch lrch now in
course of renovation. For the first
time in many years there was no home
talent attraction at the Smyrna Opera
House. There was travelling moving
picture show there, but it was poorly
patronized.

NEXT YEARS CROP OF PRsKY MOSQUITOES
Delaware Has No Report But over 10 New Jer-
sey Il Is Predicted Crop VIII be Immense.

Delaware has no ''official mosquito
report" but its close proximity to New
Jersey. gives reason for concern, if
there is any foundation in the recent
New Jersey report. Prof John d.
Smith State entomologist in his annual
report just handed Governor Stokes,
admits that last summer there was
frightful increase in mosquitoes, but
he attributes this to the continued wet
weather which prevailed during the
early summer. He gives warning that
as the result of the prolific breeding of
last Summer millions of mosquitoes
are now alternating in cellars and like
places in all parts of the States, which
must be destroyed or another enormo-
us crop will be heresult next Summer
He suggests the use of powdered stra-
monium or ''iimpson" as a fumigant
to kill off the dormat pests. This is ar
inexpensive method. The State oi
New Jersey has an appropriation oi
$3.50. 900 available in annual instalment
OF $40, 900 each for the determination
of the mosquito. This fund is directed
to draining salt marshes, swamps and
breeding places.
