To Extend The DUPONT Road

According to a report from
MARYLAND the commissioners OF
Worcester county, have decided to
build road, corresponding, in a
measure, with the DUPONT boule-
ward in this State, and connecting
with the latter at Selbyviile, and
extending to Snow Hill, Md. This
will be continuation OF the du-
Pont road from the Delaware
State line to Snow Hill.
With the expectation that the
road would run down the centre
of Delaware, the commissioners OF
Wicomico, Md, are said to have
contemplated extending it through
that county, SO that it would pass
through. Salisbury, and possibly
one or two other towns, but that
project is said to have been aban-
doned. The failure O. the dupont
project to extend to their direc-
ton, so to make this continuation
possible, is said to be disappoint-
ing to, some of the Wicomicc
county people.

DELAWARE COLLEGE
BOYS CELEBRATE

A display OF college spirit such
as Newark has seldom seen was
given on Monday night when the
boys turned out in force to cele-
brate the Delaware--Swarthmore
game. Their special cause for re-
Joicing was the fact that Delaware
for the first time in twelve years
held Swarthmore College to tie,
and clearly showed that in her
match with that strong eleven she
was by no means outclassed.
All Monday afternoon a line of
Freshmen could be seen carrying
boxes and all kinds OF lumber, un-
til pile about thirty feet had
been collected on the rear CAM
pus. Early in the evening the
student body headed by their band
paraded Main street.
| A large wagon, drawn by fifty
| Freshmen drew the victorious
team. f. B. Frazer treated the
boys to 200 cigars as they passed
his store on Main street. After
making their way to DR.. Harters
residence the procession marched
to the college grounds and light
ed their pile, which lit up the sky
; for miles around.
Standing in the glow OF the fire
, Coach McAvoy and members OF
, the football team were called up
on for speeches. Each responded
in way that aroused enthusiasm
for the gold and blue to the high
: est pitch.
Even at that hour the students
r had not expressed their feeling:

SANTA CLAUS FOR ADULTS
Many Gifts at Salvation Army
Industrial Home.

Santa Claus was liberal last night at the
Salvation Army Industrial Home. az No
533 West 4sth street. John G. McGee, staff
captain presided over the distribution Of
better Christmas gifts than have been
presented 10 the members Of the home in
the twelve years OF its history. Sweaters,
woollen socks, Bibles and articles Of cloth
ing were allotted 10 three hundred men by
a costumed Santa Claus
Two glittering Christmas trees, holly,
pine and garlands Of evergreen brought the
sense OF holiday making home TO the reclp-
tents Of the Armys bounty. and the general
atmosphere of pleasure and good will
showed plainly that the stockings had been
aptly filed.
John Simpson, former shepherd OF Ari-
zona. had not seen a Christmas tree for
forty years. but he said that II was even
better than he expected The old man was
delighted with his gifts and with the gilt
tering baubles and tinsel that loaded the
ample branches of the trees He was ready
10 tell Of his pleasure in the novelty Of a
Christmas festival and was particular that
the newspapers should give the correct de-
tails Of his experience.
After the gifts were distributed the men
lined up to get the money that was due
them from their weeks work. The home
"a not altogether a charitable institution.
as men get an opportunity 10 labor and
support themselves by their work until
they can obtain employment elsewhere.

SHOPPERS FILL THE TRAINS
About 100000 Passed Through
Grand Central Station in Week.

Every local train out OF this city yester-
day was filled with shoppers loaded down
with packages of all descriptions. The
sight. according 10 railroad officials, was
enough to dispel the idea of hard times
from the minds OF all except those who are
chronically afflicted with that bugbear. Sta
tions and ferry houses were crowded until
late into the evening with those going to
their suburban homes.
AS was predicted by the station agent al
the Grand Central Station, the rain OF Fri
day had kept many persons indoors, and
these made ar carly morning rush 70 the
city with the regular commuters, thus NIL
ing up the extra cars which had been got
ready TO meet just such an emergency
Many extra porters were az hand 70 assist
passengers.
All express trains went out OF the station
in two and three sections There was par
ticulsrly heavy travel 10 upstate points
and 10 New England Local trains were
made I'D with extra cars, most OF them
having ten and twelve cars, instead OF the
six ordinarily In use.
Fully 10000 persons, II was estimated
passed through the Grand Central Station
during the last week

A FAMINE IN NEW MONEY
Because of MacVeagh's Ruling
Supply Is Inadequate.

On the last business day before Christmas
New York discovered there was a famine
IN new money. At the Sub-Treasury II was
said Yesterday that the supply Of crisp.
unused bills and shining coins which Is usu-
ally distributed at this season Of the year
to persons and institutions had been virtu-
ally exhausted Individuals who desired
small amounts Of new currency in exchange
for their torn or soiled bills were accommo-
dated at the Sub-Treasury so long as they
asked for only small amounts. but there
was no large supply for the banks 10 draw
upon.
Each year the banks are subjected 10
heavy demand for new money. and formerly
they had no difficulty in obtaining It from
the Sub-Treasury. Secretary MacVeagh Of
the Treasury Department made a ruling
some months ago that where there was
sufficient currency in the nearest Sub
Treasury to meet demands the government
would not pay the cost Of transporting new
bills or coins merely 10 meet the prefer
ences of the banks.
Those banks which wished unusual sup
plies Of unused currency have consequently
been obliged 10 pay the cost Of transport
ing Il from the mint Where they were
willing 10 meet this charge the Treasury
Department accommodated them.
