Here is an excellent catch: Ingenu-

the meaning Of a. m. and p. m. You
will receive some such answer as,
"Why, morning and afternoon" or "Be-
fore dinner and after dinner" or Cup
to IL o'clock high noon and after IL
high noon," or From midnight to noon
and from noon to midnight" or "Ante
meridian and post meridian; before and
after noon." It is a conservative wager
that every one to whom the question is
put will stake his happiness on the
word meridian, while the correct word
Is meridiem. Ante meridiem and post

"What Is the most famous saying
ever made by MANI" an editor asked.
Some thought that Caesar, some
thought that Socrates, some that Lin
coin, some that Nelson, had said the
most memorable thing; but finally the
palm was awarded to Euclid, the
mathematician.
Euclid went to Alexandria to teach
Ptolemy Softer, the king of Egypt,
mathematics. Ptolemy plodded at his
problems a week or two, and then
asked Euclid impatiently If there. was
not some special, shorter way by which
he could be taught.

NATURE STUDY
LECTURE COURSE.

The course Of lectures to be delivered
in the High School building by Supt.
A. R. Spsid, was secured primarily for
the pupils Of the public school. A
special price was made to pupils, and
they were given the first opportunity
to secure tickets. However, as arrange
ments have been made whereby two
pupils are admitted on one ticket, thus
reducing the price Of admission, the
amount received from them by no
means covers the cost Of the lectures /;
public patronage must be relied upon
to make up the balance. AS seventy
five cents secures a ticket that will
admit both pupil and one parent, it
would seem that no parent should al
low his child to remain away.
Moreover, it ought to be understood
that these lectures. although interesting
TO children, are by no means juvenile.
They are scientific studies, each rem
dered doubly attractive by the exhibit
tion Of oyer half hundred exquisitely
colored stereopticon views. While the
course is one in Mature Study, utwo
of the lectures, delaware" " and ''The
Shenandoah Valley, " are historical, the
latter including trip to Luray CaveIns
Harper's Ferry, The Natural Bridge
and the historic city of Winchester.
The course throughout is most fasci !
mating Mr.. Spaid's personality is both |
commanding and pleasing, and his ex-
tensive study has made him a specialist.
The views are from photographs taken
by himself, and show natural objects
in matured positions and in Natures
own colors,-birds in their haunts,
snakes on the ground or climbing trees,
fish alive in the water of mountain
streams, etc., etc.

INFURATED MOB
AFTER NEGRO.
Attacked Lookup With Intention of Lyn ing
the Brutal Highwayman.
General Disorder Prevailed and Mob Was Rampant.
Shers Baker of Kent and Lynch Of Sussex, Both Called
Prisoner Taken to Dover Jail

On Monday evening last Miss Florence
NJ. Booz, q graduate Of the Milford
High School and a teacher at Calhoun'i
School, about seven miles southeast Of
Milford, closed her school and started
for her boarding house, a short distance
from the school, when she was ap-
preached by a negro just at the edge Of
the woods adjacent to the little school
house.
The negro first accosted her and
implOred for help, and then at once
pushed her into the woods and threw
her to the ground. and would have ac-
cOmplished his end bot for the quick
forethought of Miss Booz, who gave
him her school keys and told him that
there was money in her desk. This
caused the negro to release her and go
into the school in search of the money
and as he did so she made her escape
to her boarding house almost pros
trated by the terrible shock and fright,
but in a few minutes the facts in the
case were given and the men of that
vicinity formed a posse and ran the
culprit to the woods, but failed to catch
him then.
Miss Booz was at once brought to her
home in this town and the officials were
appraised OF what had transpired and
Detective Small and a number of eli.
zens started Tuesday morning in search
of the assailant and so covered the ter
ritory that at noon it was learned that
a strange negro, answering the diserip-
tion tven by the victim, was located
at the Thurston farm. just this side Of
Cedar Creek Mills, in tenure Of Alex.
snder Wilkins.
This information was given by John
E. Tiuitt to Chief of Police Macklin,
who accompanied by Dr.. Evans Rob-
erts, went to the home of Mr.. Wilkins
and found the negro loading corn. He
was at once placed under arrest and
brought to the office Of Justice sCharles 1
G. Fisher in Milford, where he vas
held until identified by Miss Bo6.. (
The brute gave his name as Frederick /
Groves and said he was from Virginis. /
AS soon as the reprobage reached
town the news spread like wild fire
aud men, women and children could
be seen running in groups toward the
,ffice where the negro was awaiting
he verdict of the court. In twenty
minutes from the time that the negro
there was assembled in and
,round the office at least two hundred
people, which made the situation look
but the officers were al
owed to take the prisoner to the lookup
n safety, where he confessed his guilt.
About O'Clock in the evening crowds
Milford chronicle., 1906-01-19

Of infuriated citizens began to congre
gate on the streets and talk the matte
over until the real mob spirit was ram
panta it looked for time as if ever!
effortof the authorities would be of n,
availiin preventing the spirite citizen
from aeeomp plishing their purpose.
AT so'cloek the crowd had grown 81
large that the situation became alarm
iRg and the Town Council and severa
highly respected citizens, including DR.
g. P Jcnes, pastor of the Avenue M
E. Church, and Rev. R. G. Penney, o.
Wilmington, were assembled in con
sultauon, and even while they were
discussing the affair an awful crash
was heard and shouts that told that

George P. Joges and other reputable
citizens ran TO the scene and by strong
persuasive argument and talk sue
ceeded in quieting the mob and pre-
veating the cell from being broken into.
After the 6rst attempt was thawrted
the angry citizens began to increase in
number and things looked even worse
than before. The three hotels were Wis
tied by the town fathers and asked to
close their bars for the evening, which
they promptly did This was done hop
ing to keep the spirit of lvuching from
reaching q higher plane. But with all
this precaution once again the mob
broke loose with yells and it 10 O2ked as
if nothing could prevent the mob's de-
and that Milford would
take her place with the cities of the

Colonel Theodore Townsend and Gen.

staff were in communication with the
Governor and informed him OF the sit
nation, so that in case Of riot troops
could be hurried to the scene. After a
talk with the Governor it was decided
% have Sheriff Baker of Kent county
,ome to Milford and take the prisoner
o Dover Jail for safety, as many were
opposed to having him sent to George (
own Jail for fear of escape. Sheriff /
lynch Of Georgetown had been teie-
,honed for and both sheriffs met here
Ibcut 1.30 and remained until o'clock /
when Sheriff Baker, with Constable I
Thomas U. Marvel and Deputy Sheriff |
Foreaker, took Groves to Dover. As
oon as the sheriff left with the negro
yerything began TO quiet down and
.eneral order prevailed. Miss Booz at
his writing is somewhat improved but
ufferiHg considerable from the severe
hook.
