related in onr last issue. During

marooned for three days at Wood

bad that physicians hesitated about

made the trip and relieved the
woman of her suffering. In going
to Woodland Beach recently, to at
tend Mrs. Motifs mother, Dr.. Clifton
had to leave his carriage and wear
ing hip boots and pilOted by some
of the trappers from the Beach, he
waded through submerged roads and
marshes for a distance of six miles
to get to the stricken woman, who
meanwhile had died. The intense

exhausted DR.. Clifton, and it was
sometime before he recovered frcm

SMYRNA TO HAVE FASTEST
BOAT SERVICE IN HISTORY
LOCAL COMPANY CHARTERS THE
"CAROLINE VINYARD," MILFORD
Passenger and Freight Service Will
Start Monday Between Smyrna and
PhiIadelphia-Trip, I-2 Hours

Weather permitting, the Smyrna
Steamboat Company will start its
service next Monday or Wednesday
and for the present have two trips
a week between Smyrna and Phila.
delpha. With the resuming of this
service after the winter months,
Manager Frank S. Malcom comes
out with the announcement that new
steamboat will be put on and Smyr-
ma will have the fastest service in
the history of boat companies in
SMYRNA. They have chartered the
"Caroline Vinyard, the new pas
senger and freight steamer form
erly on the Milford line and will put
her in service at once. The "Caroline
Vinyard" is of a freight capacity
of 125 tons and licensed to carry 1875
passengers. Loaded it draws six
and one-half feet of water. The
boat, which is only about a year
old, was especially built for the
Milford Creek and is said to be the
fastest boat on the river south of
Wilmington. The schedule trip be-
tween Smyrna Landing and Phila-
delphia will be five and one-half or
six hours, shorter by an hour or
more of any passenger and freight
steamer ever plying out or in
Smyrna River. The boat is equip
ped with electric lights, has eight
state rooms, a fine saloon and dining
room and a special apartment for
carrying livestock. 1t is finely
equipped and appointed in every
way and the management is to be
congratulated on their good fortune
in securing her. Hacks will meet
all trips of the boat. The manage
ments intends starting out the sea-
son with a strict adherence to
schedule time and the boat can be
depended upon to leave on time.
For the present the "Caroline Vim
yard" will make two trips a week.
The new boat is expected in the
river sometime the latter part of
the week. Just now she is receiving

DOVER STUDENTS END STRIKE
Return to School After Solicitation of
Professor Crawford and Will Fight
the Matter Out at the Polls

Monday morning found all the
students returning to work after
their strike, which created one of
Dover's biggest sensations and has
caused an upheaval in public senti-
ment there and a firm resolve on
the part of everybody to attend pri.
maries and all other elections here
after. The women may vote at
school elections, and in the Opera
House at Dover Saturday afternoon
at the last indignation meeting by
the students over the Boards dis
missal of Superintendent Crawford,
leading women covenanted with the
children and fellow citizens present
said that they would be at the polls
in June and never again sulk in
their tents on election day. While
the student-strikers were meeting
again, the Board stood pat on
George S. Messersmith of Lewes,
whom they suddenly elected to sue
ceed Supervising Principal Alex
ander Crawford. Mr.. Crawford did
not suit the members of the board
as to his ability in the most modern
methods. Prof. Messarsmith. is a
graduate of two colleges and has
been very successful in the seven
years he has taught in three Della
ware towns. He and a new corps
of graduate teachers are what the
Board wanted. The Board, it now
seems, wanted this last year and
the vote for Crawford stood only five
to four. This year it was agains
him seven to two. The students.
however, proved unanimous for him,
and. at the risk of corporal dis
proval by parents when they got
home, they struck and paraded the
streets with banners or circulating
appeals to taxpayers. The Craw-
ford sympathizers have planned their
campaign thus, and this is why the
strike has ended: In June, three of
the nine members of Dover's Board
OF Education will be elected. There

their Opera House full of symathiz-

these matters for the time being
the students decided. after reading

Superintendent Crawford, to 90
