going about their humble duties in
the little Shaker settlement at Ash

the grim charge OF murder hanging
over them.
Not q sign Of regret for their grue-

To the aged couple in their hour Of
trial, the faithful affection of the lit
tie Shaker colony has gone out re-
gardless of the condemnation Of the
law. The friends of the Shakers in
the neighborhOOd, where they are unf-
versally liked and respected for their
righteousness and dignified quiet man

couple will never be brought 10 ac-
count on the charges of murder, but
will spend their rapidly declining days
in peace and quietude at the little
Shaker farm.
The inquest on the body Of Sister
Sadie will be held in about ten days.
The Grand Jury which will consider
the case does not NEE. until Novem-
Der, and until that time the two aged
Shakers accused of murder will go
quietly and calmly about their duties
at the settlement, under insignificant

AGRICULTURE COURSE

The new year started out most
happily at Delaware College this

numbers the freshman class is also a
source of satisfaction, there being
about sixty-five enrolled this morn

college. There is much pleasure felt
by the agricultural department over
their banner enrolment, eighteen
students putting down their names for

Freshies Out of Cold Storage,
Win Rush Over Warm Sophs

Sophomores and freshmen Of Della
ware College had their struggle for
supremacy at the opening of the fall
and winter term of college at Newark
this morning The two classes met
in a rush on the athletic field, and the
freshmen won by force of num-
bers
A large crowd gathered i'm antici-
patton of the rush, which is now
feature Of the opening of college
year, and one of the incidents that
is overlooked by the faculty IL was
a rope rush." each sophomore and
freshman being given pieces of rope
with which to try 10 tie up a mem
Der Of the rival class.
While most of the young men ap-
peared in old clothing for the rush,
many of them wore their varsity best,
and they got mussed up in the fray,
too. With a whoop, swoop and tus-
sic the rush began, and for nearly an
hour il waged furiously. All over the
athletic field the "sophs" and
"freshies" wrestled. pulled, hauled and
tried to tie. Roping of cattle on the
prairies had nothin on this rope
rush"
Finally, when time was called. Il
was discovered that the freshmen had
securely tied nine members of the
sophomore class, while none of the
"freshies" had been tied by the
"sophs" This gave the victory to the
freshmen. The upper classmen were
referees.
Lieutenant Francis b. Eastman, u.
S. A., who is the new military in
structor at Delaware College, was
present in uniform and witnessed the
rush.
Last night the traditional feeling
between the sophomores and fresh
men had its first outbreak. when three
