WATER BOARD
SHORT OF FUNDS

A scarcity Of funds in the Water
Department WAS brought to light at
the meeting of the Street and Sewer
Directors this morning, when Secre-
tary Grohe, of the Board of Water
Commissioners. asked that the direct
ors pay its employees at work on q
sewer being placed for the Water De-
partment at Concord avenue and the
Boulevard, untl the commissioners
would be in such position as to return
the payment.
This work is being done Tor the
Water Department itself, and although
the Street and Sewer Department is
loaning it's employees for the work, II
is left to the Water Comm issioners to
pay them. This morning Secretary
Secretary Grohe of the Water Com
mission declared that the Commission
ers were short Of funds and asked that
the directors pay the men out of the
Street and Sewer Departments funds.
The directors saw no authority by
which they could pay men working for
the Water Commissioners, and accord
ingly would not consent 20 do So IL
ALSO developed that the payroll of the
men engaged on the sewer amounting
to 1O303 last week had been paid by
Street Commissioner Pierson himself
and the sum had not yet been returned
to him. This week the payroll amounts
to S132.72. and as tomorrow is pay day
for the men at work on the sewer, Il
is doubtful il they will be paid this
week.

marked for many centuries by the pro-

Is no reason to doubt that this viii be
the case in 1907 The two richest me-
teor streams. after that OF the we'll
known August meteors. approach the
earth's orbit during the present month
The first of these November showers
has it's radiant In the constellation
Leo and makes itself periodically visi-
bic in our atmosphere between the 18th
and the 18th of the month. Although
the most conspicuous display Of the
Leonid meteors takes place only once
in thirty-three years and cannot rocur
before 1882, II Is nevertheless quite cer-
tain that a considerable number Of
them will, enter our atmosphere az the
usual period. Following them. the
famous meteor stream OF the AM
dromedes will be due hy the 23d inst

very numerous. In some years. as III

EXAMS" FOR THE
RHODES H0NORS

The trustees of the Rhodes Scholar
ship fund have appointed Tuesday and
wednesday. January q and %. 1908,
as the dates for the qualifying exami-
nations of candidates for appointment
from the United States to the scholar
ships that are to be filled in the fall
Of 1908 at oxford University. The ex-
aminations for Delaware will be held
at Delaware College. All Delawareans
as well as students OF Delaware Col
lege are eligible for appointment from
Delaware provided they have the pro-
per qualifications.
These examinations are set by the
oxford authorities and are merely
meant to determine what men have
the necessary mental qualifications.
lThe appointment is left to a committee
and must be made from the list of
those who have passed the eXamina-
tions. This committee is to be guided
| in their selection by the personality
1 of the several candidates having re-
lgard for certain moral and physical
characteristics which go to form Lead
ers in the social and political world.
1t was Mr.. Rhodes's idea that such
men should be appointed to the scholar
ships as by their strength of mind and
lhriuness Of character might absorb
and assimilate OXford's sound learning
land hoary traditions without losing
lsense Of their American citizen. The
Following are the subjects for exam
linations as given last year: Transla-
ton from Latin into English, Latin
prose, arithmetic, translation from
Greek into English, Latin grammar,
algebra or geometry. Candidates for
appointment from Delaware may APP
lpear at any of the places in the United
Estates at which examinations are held
on the dates named above, ana they
should indicate on the paper giving an
account of their life the fact of their
applying for a Delaware scholarship.

THE HOO HOOS TO-
MORROW.
The Black Cat Tribe Hold
q Confederation in Brink.
ley TO-llorrow.

The talk has been going the rounds
for week or more about the'gather-
ing Of BLACK Cats or Hoo Hoos in
Brinkley on tomorrow; the baseball
game they are to have here tomorrow
afternoon between the Memphis and
the Brinkley Hoo Hoo mines. for the
benefit Of the Park Fund.
This coming Of the Hoo Hoos to
Brinkley Is an event Of some moment
and II has caused many to inquire
about who and what the Hoo Hoos
are. This order. society or ''breed Of
cats" as you may call it, has the
honor and distinction Of having originat-
ed in Arkansas. II was on Jan. ~.
1892 at Curdon. Ark. that Boiling A.
johnson originated the first NEST.
The next meeting was in New Orleans
on Mar. 9. 1892 and ever since then,
concentrations have been held In
every lumber center In the country un-
til now the number has reached over
1880 and is spreading all over the
world. As everything is worked under
nine. so the membership is limited to
80. ooo: and when the limit Is reached
it will be not unlike the initiatoy
work-it will be the limit.
The Hoo Hoos hold forth In Brink
ley tomorrow night and Il has been
reported that there will be many
Kittens seeking to have their eyes
opened to Hoo Hoo.
The game Of ball at East side PARK
between the Memphis and Brinkle,
Hoo Hoo mines promises to be the
most sensational one Of the season.
