Fortune smiles upon few men rs it

daily with Thomas w. Lawson in push

GRITTY that the former Senator came
home last week $50 600 to the good BY
reason OF the striking advance in Bay
State stock after the company was freed
from the burden Of its receivership
On Saturday it was stated that he came
home from a week-rest, with $50, 600
additional profit. Former Sheriff Ed
ward Baker also closed out a block,
thus advancing stock and realized a
fine bag Of money, closing at $l.25.
There was q general reaching out to
buy this stock after Mr.. Baker took his
profits last week. The Senator's good
fortune indicates that there are some
things that pay better than remaining
in politics.

Keeping of Vital statistics Neglected.

During the months OF May, June,
July and to the 18th Of August there
were in Milford twelve deaths and five
marriages. But two births were re-
corded in this time, though there were
many more that were not recorded.
For the months Of January, February,
March and April there were recorded
nineteen deaths, two marriages and
two births. The keeping Of the vital
statistics in a Town the size Of Milford
should be Of much benefit to the town
and should especially be an aid to the
physicians, but it appears that the ply
sicians have lately been very negligent
by not reporting births in which they
assist, and infectious and contagious
diseases with which they come in con-
tact. From a prOphylactic standpoint
this is culpable offense and should be
speedily remedied, for should an cpl.
demic break out in Milford the source
Of eOntagiOm would not be known till
the disease bad made it, Roadway and
done considerable damage. The law is
plain in regards to the keeping Of vital
statistics and should be lived up to.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
IN KENT AND SUSSEX

There is a general inclinatisn to bet
n the conditions Of the public school
Yding in all parts Of Delaware, and
&c, scially in Kent and Sussex Coun.
ties. Selbyville is preparing to build a
building and furnish it with modern
furniture to cost about 81 500 Days
boro has recently build a large build.
ing. RehObOth is building a brick four
room structure 10 cost Sc 600. Houston
is building a new building in Kent
county that will cost nearly $1,000
when furnished. and other places are
making Improvements to buildings
needing repairs. The general shaking
up given to the schools by the County
School Commissions has been benefi-
cial to the schools, in that the atten-
tien of parents has been drawn to the
bad conditions their children were ex-
periencing while attending school.
When the County Commissions go
around again in October, they will find
many Of the suggestions they made
last spring acted upon but it is equally
certain that some Of those most needed
will not have been attended to. In this
case, the Commission will be compelled
to take legal steps to require the school
committees to bring the school cOndi-
tiOns to the proper standard. The State
pays two.thiTds of the maintenance Of
the schools, and it surely has the right
to insist that they be kept 10 respect.
