MURDER IN DOVER.

John Curry, colored, was shot and
instantly killed Oh Lockermsu Street a
few minutes before midnight on We'd
nesday night, October 18th, by Hattie
Reese, also cOlored. The couple had
been at the circus. A mixture Of al
cohol and Jealousy caused quarrel and
the two separated shortly after the per-
fOrmance. The woman went home and
arming herself with a shot gun met
Curry on the street and deliberately
cooked the weapon when within twelve
feet OF the man she married last July
and blew his brains out. Curry, who
was only 20. years Of age, dropped to
the pavement dead, not even removing
his hands from bis pockets. Ohicer
was soon on the scene and ar
rested the woman, who is "a years OF
age and has two husbands living. She

DOVER'S CARNIVAL.

The opening Of DOver's three day
carnival last Wednesday was a grand
success. A large parade began the fes
tivites Of the week. After the parade
things happened in rapid order during
the entire first day. Capt. Dallas, the
airship man, made two successful
flights against hard head wind At the
race track Surena, the worlds cham
pion guideless trotter, trOtted a fast
mile. All Of LOckerman Street was
given over to amusement tents, fakirs
and other things that go to make up
an event Of that kind. The buildings
and streets Of the town are prettily
decorated but the hard rains Of yester.
day marred what would in all prOba-
bility have been a record breaking day
for the capitol town. The people Of
Dover deserve much credit for their
hard work in making the event the
hugh success that it is.

LECTURE BY REV. &. ". GATESON.

The opening address Of the Parents
and Teachers Association was made by
Mrs. John w. Welch in q few well
chosen words bearing upon the relation
of the home upon the school. The Rev
G. W. GatesOn and his mother, Mrs.
Gateson, were introduced and Mrs.
GatesOn read Whittier's poem, 'The
Barefoot Boy" in q very effective man
ner. she then gave one Of Thomas
Hoods poems as an encore. The Rev.
q. w. GatesOn, in the course Of his lee
ture upon Boys" stated that so far in
his experience with boys he had failed
to accomplish very much, as they were
a species Of animals, but very iRtelli-
gent animals, and the brighter the
mind the more mischievOus the boy.
He then spoke OF the amusements q
country town afforded, and pleaded
for some more intelligent amusement
than baseball, and loafing in country
stores. The home environment, and
bodily exercises, were also mentioned
as having a direct bearing upon the
mind Of the boy. The great problem Of
the day seems to be "what shall we do
with the boys" then what will they
do with themselves, when they reach
manhood. We will have to take up
their spare time for them, and provide
them with an outdoor playground and
an indoor playground, with games to
make them more intelligent He plead
for the boys and their amuse-
ment. A fine instrumental solo was
rendered by Miss Short, then the meet.
ing adjourned to meet sgain the second

The WINDSOR Hotel To
CHANGE MANAGEMENT

The Windsor Hotel OF this town,
which has been 90 popular with the trav.
cling public on account Of its complete
ness in equipment and its fine location,
beginning with January @st, 1911 will
be under the personal direction and
management Of T. Thaddeus Windsor,
member Of the well known carriage
and horse firm Of Robinson & Windsor.
MI Windsor is one Of the best young
business men Of this town and Penin-
sula, and his eOngenial courteous and
accommodating manner, together with
his natural energy and get up, recon-.
mend him most heartily to the travel
ing public, as a man who can make
life comfortable and pleasant for them
while sOjourning in Milford. From early
manhood Mr.. Windsor has been more
or less associated with the hotel business
and his spIness and natural ability give
him peculiar fitness for the management
Of such popular hotel as the Windsor.
II is needless to say anything about
the arrangement and natural comforts
OF this well known hostelry, but you
may expect under its new management
that you will fad everything neat,
and strictly up-to-date, as
the comfort Of the guests will be the
