WILL MARRY IN HOSPITAL
Illness of Bridegroom Hurries
Ceremony at White Plains.

Rather than have Illness part them,
prominent young couple of White Plains
have arranged to marry at the White
Plains Hospital this morning at IL
o'clock. But for Charles H. Paul being
taken i'll on Thursday with typhoid fever
he would have been married this even
ing to Miss Marie j. Leudemann at her
home. in Chatterton Parkway. The
ceremony was to be performed az 8
o'clock by ArChdeaCon F. B. Van KleeCk,
of Grace Episcopal Church. The brides
maid was to be Miss Helen Paul, a sister
of the young man, and Walter Leude
mann, the brides brother, was TO be best
man.
Since the illness of young Paul all the
arrangements have been changed. The
young couple decided that they would
be married at the hospital to-day if
Paurs condition would allow. DR. Van
Kleeck will officiate, and there will be no
attendants at the hospital.
Mr.. Paul was formerly a member of
the firm of Paul & Almy, who built a
garage in White Plains. Recently he
sold his interest and formed a partner
ship in the same business with William
QJinby. Miss Leudemann is a daughter
of Mrs. John Leudemann. who was
drowned in the steamer General Slocum
disaster on Long Island Sound.

lieve to be valuable. They were found
Yesterday afternoon by Patrolman

BUNDLE SAVES CHINAMAN
White Plains Crowd Sees Man
Tossed Like a Football.

Several hundred persons waiting for
trains at the White Plains station
yesterday morning saw a Chinaman
thrown about like a football. An Ameri-
can Express car attached to an ordinary
passenger motor had left the North
White Plains terminal at II o'clock. Joe
Sing went through the gates as the
train sOuthbound, came into view on
the crossing. AS the Chinaman stepped
on the track the train struck him, hurl-
ing him against the west fence. He re-
bounded from the fence some twenty
feet from where he was first struck and
fell on the west rail of the track between
the forward and rear trucks of the first
car. As he did so the screams of sew
eral persons attracted the attention of
The motorman. and he stopped the train.
The Chinaman still grasped a bundle
he held in his arms when he was struck,
and as he fell on the rail with the bundle
in his arms il served as a buffer between
him and the wheels of the truck, and
caused him to slide some twenty feet on
the rail, saving his life.
Dr. Hanily. of st. Agues's Hospital,
di -ected the railroad men in freeing the
Chinaman from the trucks. DIR. j. S.
Parker then took him to the White

Lectures Fer the Farmers.

Farmers Week was opened at Delaware
College, Newark, Monday morning, but
because Of the bad condition of county
roads, which are piled high with snow
drifts, the attendance was meagre. The
weeks lectures to farmers are being Civ
en- in the College OratOry.
Professor McCue, of the college and ex-
perimenta station staffs, presided this
morning, and lecture was given by the
Rev. DIR. Alfred Smith Of Wyoming, on
"Canteloupe Culture He said the
opinion is general that canteloupes can be
grown only on sandy soil, but they can
be grown on clay.like soil, such as that
around Wyoming. 1t was his opinion
that csnteloupes should not be planted
unit the First or second week in May.
When he first set out canteloupes it was
April 25th, and not one seed in thous-
and came up, the crop being practically
failure. The second year he planted
his seeds the fret week in May and he
had no trouble in getting q crop, every
seed coming up.
The Rev. Or. Smith, who is one of the
leading ministers of the Wilmington
Methodist Conference. is regarded as an
expert on canteloupes and is at the fore
as a horticultuTist.
Professor McCue lectured on Grape
Culture He recommended two varie-
ties foTsDelawaTe-ConcOrds and Moore's
Earlies. The two-wire kniffen system
was recommended. Professor McCue
said grapes should be given two or four
sprayings, according to the season. First
Bordeaux Mixture as soon as the leaves
are formed; second, Bordeaux mixture
and some poison just after the blossoms
are formed; third, ten days or two weeks
later, Bordeaux mixture again. II this
is done too late the grapes will be discol-
ored. Grapes require large amounts Of
phOsphoric acid and potash. Nitrogen
can usually be supplied in sufficient
quantities in good soil by overturning
crimson clover, COW peas, and soy beans
that have been grown as an overcrop.
The soil Of Delaware is particularly fitted
for good grape growing and it should be

Professor McCue lectured in the after
noon on tomatoes; Professor Cook will
discuss insect and fungus diseases and
Professor McUue spoke of apple culture.
Tuesday, Pork production was discuss.

Scramble For Seat Of DR.. Moore

Anent the political situation the
First District in which a successor
will be elected to succeed State
Senator DR.. T. c. Moore, the Dover
correspondent of the Wilmington
Sunday Star writes the following
story There is much talk around
Dover that the surprising appoint
ment to the position of collector of
the port of Harry Raymond, an un-
known man in politics in Delaware.
and not young man, is part of a
political scheme and the beginning
of a vigorous campaign on the part
Of Colonel w. D. Denney. private
secretary to senator Richardson.
The scheme is, it is declared in
Dover by those who say they know,
to begin in this appointment mo
quarter" campaign for control of
the next State Senate by the
Republicans, and particularly OF
the Legislature. AS has been an
nOunced before, both great politi-
cal parties intend to put their
strongest campaigners in nomina-
ton for the Legislature in the
doubtful districts, or as they are
now know, the debatable dis
tricts. F." A successor to United
States Senator dupont is to be
chosen at the Legislatures next
session., and a majority Of State
Senators are to be elected in No
of this year who will hold
over and vote, two years hence,
for the successor Of Richardson,

THE MORNING News comments
on the fewer number Of arrests
made in Wilmington in 1909 than
in 1908 as follows
There was a marked reduction
last year in tbe number of police
arrests made in this city as COM
pared with the previous year. The
greater number of those arrested
were, as usual, taken into cusody
for offences to be charged directly
against the excessive use of intox-
icating liquors.
"The shrinkage in the number of
arrest may therefore be attributed,
at least in part, to the closing of
the saloons at eleven O'Clock at
night. For many years the bulk
of the police arrests for drunken
ness and other offences provoked
by the use OF liquor, came about
toward midnight, but since the sa-
looms have been closing their doors
at eleven O'Clock the police have
had comparatively little to do after
that hour.
"No matter what may be the
real cause Of the shrinkage in the
number OF arrests for a year, it is
a pleasure to note that the peace
and good order of the city is i'm
proving, and also the good con
duct Of those citizens who provide
work for the police"

THE time is ripe for Kent and
Sussex counties to consider serious
" the purpose to build and main
tain a workhouse for their prisoners,
and adopt the plan of utilizing their
labor on the highways. in building
good roads and draining the low
lands along the shores of the bays.
The cost Of keeping Of prisoners in
the New Castle Workhouse is less
than twenty cents per day, and the
two lower counties are paying to
New Castle forty cents for keeping
their prisoners. and at the same
time New Castle gets the profits of
their labors at contract work. We
have no quarrel with New Castle
over this. We are a firm believer
in the principles Of a workhouse,
and not for one moment would we
have the prisoners of Kent and Sus-
sex brought back under the old
system Of idleness, herded together
without proper sanitary conditions,

The First Senatorial district of
Kent county was carried by the pres
ent State Senator Thomas c. Moore
by only six majority, and there was
doubt for days as to whether he was
elected at all or not. The district
contains two doubtful representative
districts-the First and Second Of
Kent county, although both these
districts were carried by the Demo-
Gratis at the last election. When Mr..
Denney ran for representative in the
Second election district in the days
of high financing in Republican
politics and Addicks' glory, he car
ried the Second district by over 100
votes, and his record breaking vote
caused him to be elevated to Speak
er of the House. Now, so the story
goes the plan is to run Denney for
Senator in the First district. If he
can get the same prOpOrtionate vote,
it is argued, he can overcome the

surely will not get because he ap-
