Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Sept. 1S.-The
quick work of John Pool, in bringing
his engine to a standstill, within a
remarkably short distance, is all that
saved two small children from being
crushed to death by the train on a
bridge near Landenburg Monday ev-
ening. The train, which was on the
Newark and Pomeroy road, was bound
for Newark. Just before reaching
this bridge, which is east of Landen-
burg, there is a sharp curve
The train was probably going at
the rate of % miles an hour and on
rounding the curve the engineer no.
ticed the children on the bridge,
which was then hardly more than so
yards away. Instead of turning
around and leaving the structure at
the other end the tots evidently be-
came confused and continued toward
the train to try and reach the west
ern end of the bridge. The engineer
seeing the precarious position of the
children, applied all brakes. Even
then IL was question whether or not
it would be possible to get the train
stopped in time, and when the en-
gine was brought to a standstill, it
was within ten feet of the bridge.
One child, boy about years old,
had Just reached the edge of the
bridge when the stop was made, but
his little sister, who was younger.
was still some distance away, run
ming over the trestle work as fast as
she could. The children were great
ly frightened and apparently realiz-
ing that they had done something
wrong, ran down the embankment
and hid in the bushes.
This is the third time that this
same engineer has narrowly averted
hitting persons who recklessly walk
over the trestle work, when the train
is approaching.

fine dogs discovered yesterday that
their animals had been stolen. and
they blame the visitor from New Jer-

John Warren, of Jones' Neck, is the
biggest loser. A beagle hound that he
refused to sell for S75 and a prize dog
valued at $50. are missing from their
kennels It was noticed that the Jer-
seyman had large launch in making
the trop across the bay and that cir
cumstance is now recalled to explain
how twenty dogs could be taken away

Wireless Messages Around the Globe.

A seeming impossible feat, that of
encircling the globe with a system Of
wireless stations, is soon to be achiev-
ed by the United States Navy Depart
m ent. After the system is completed
naval vessels, whether in japanese or
African waters, will be under the di-
rect control of the War Department
by aerial communication.
Messages will be sent from the pow
erful station at Arlington, near Wash
ington, to the government station at
San Francisco, thence to Hawaii,
thence to the Philippine Islands, and
so on to the other stations in the cir
cult until it will be possible to send a
message entirely around the earth by
wireless, each station in turn being
able to transmit the message distance
of 5000 miles. BY sending an order
from station to station, until the wa
tiers in which given vessel is cruising
are reached, any battleship in the navy
can be communicated with in the short
est possible time direct from the War
Department.

Reflection Upon State at Large.

Some of the campaign meetings have
been a reflection upon the state atlarge,
as we'll as disgrace to the counties In
which they have been held. Those who
read the reports of the meetings that
are sent abroad do not understand con-
ditions within the state and wonder
why candidates for governor are not
accorded respectful hearing at meet
ings that are arranged by the state ex-
ecutive committee.
While in a northern city recently the
editor of The Advertiser was asked by
a gentleman who had been reading the
reports of the meetings why it was that
such condition of affairs obtained. If
these disgraceful spectacles are to con-
tinue, we think the remainder OF the
sch edule should be cancelled and no
more county-to-county meetings held
On Thursday, the 25th of july, the
date fixed for the meeting here, the
people of Edgefeld will be put on trial,
and let US hope that the rowdyism and
disorder that has characterized some
of the meetings will not exist here. All
of the candidates, particularly those for
governor, should be accorded respect
full hearing. Let it go out to the
world that the meeting at Edgefeld
was the best of the entire forty-six.

Mr.. Owdom Writes on Road
Working.

Mr.. Editor: l would like to say
something in regard to the road
building. Now the job is not done
when the roads are put in good
shape. One of the hard jobs is to
keep them in good condition. Now
good roads are subject to weather
conditions. Bad weather makes bad
roadsin the clay. Especially the
roads in this section might be put
in good condition in the winter or
spring and with a spell of bad
weather they would become bad
again. We need different plan
of road working I think the peo-
pie should bond the county and most
ly grade the roads; make them
wide enough, put in culverts and
filling SO the water could get across
the roads. Make all the road smooth
80 there would not be any sinks,
bitches across roads. Have steam or
water rollers to continue to run
over them that would drag and
compact them until they become
like cement. Then have them
worked four to FIVE times year by
the old plan, everybody to do
work on them all over the county
the same day. All public roads
need work at the same time. We
need different plan to work the
roads, then we will have more
money and more labor.
Respectfully,
T A. Owdom.

Bryn Mawr College, the Third
Female College in Impor-
tance in America.

In discoursing upon birth and
the education of genius a promi-
nent writer has said, Education
makes the man" That this applies
with no less force to woman also is
being recognized and appreciated
to-day as never before. Some o.
the leading universities that do full
graduate work are admitting wo-
men, yet there are others which
confne their student body to men
only" Fortunately for women,
however. they are now independent
of masculine curricula and even
masculine savants. They have sew.
eral institutions of their own which
for high standards and thorough
ness of work are unexcelled. Tie
three for women only" which in
many respects are the peers of any
institutions of learning in the coun-
try are. mentioned in the order of
their rank or importance, Vassar
college, Wellesley college and
Bryn Mawr college.
While in Philadelphia last week,
the editor of The Advertiser, ac-
companied by his little daughter,
spent two hours very pleasantly and
proftably at Bryn Mswr college,
which is ten miles out from the
City of Brotherly Love- % The
first impression that is made on
ones mind on reaching the campus
through the massive, arched granite
entrance is that the institution has q
handsome endowment or enormous
wealth at its back. The buildings,
possibly twenty or thirty in num-
Der, are constructed of rough or
