PUBLIC SPIRITED WOMAN.

The approach TO the public schools of
Milford from Front Street by way of
North Street, is the principal route for
the pupils to travel to and from the
schools. This part of North Street has
heretofore been only eighteen feet wide
at its narrow point, and the sidewalk
was lined with trees closely set together
which prevented any sight of the hand
some new school building, or of the
lawn of the flowers" owned by Mrs.
r. r. Roudebush. Several years ago
Mrs. Roudebush gave to the town
several feet of her land so as to widen
a part of North Street about halfway
between Front and Second Streets. but
she recognized the disadvantage that
the narrow choke in the street is to the
public, as well as to her own property,
so she has donated as much land as it
will require from her front. so that the
curb lines can be straigtend along its
length. and made the condition, that
the town should lay a concrete sidewalk
as well as concrete curb and gutter "a
long the entire property, in return for
the land used. This was accepted by
the town authorities, and the trees have
been removed preparatory to establish
ing thenew line and laying the pavement
etc. Mrs. Roudebush has greatly i'm
proved the looks of the street by widening
it to twenty-five feet, and by so doing
made a view of the handsome school
at the corner of Second and
North Streets.

LIEUT.. CANNON Elected
CAPTAIN OF COMPANY B

In pursuance to orders the members
of Company B met at their Armory
here last Friday evening and proceed
ed to elect a captain for their company
to fill the vacancy made by the promo
tion of Captain E. Lank to amajOrship.
Since the promotion of Captain Lank,
First Lieutenant James w. Cannon has
had command of the company, and has
taken a great deal of interest in the pro-
motion of the Company. He was the
natural selection for their captain and
consequently was elected to that posi-
tion last Friday night. The election
was in charge of Captain Lavinus
Anstin, Judge-Advocate, First Della
ware Infantry. Captain Cannon has
worked himself up from the ranks and
has made study of everything pertain
ing to the work of the militia and his
promotion is the legitimate outcome of
hard work and meritorous service. Cap
tain Cannon is member of the Odd
Fellows, Red Men, and Brotherhood and
also of the Milford Volunteer Fire Com
pany and their band, and takes an ac-
tive part with anything with which he
indentifies himself. His many friends
are glad to hear of his promotion and
predict that the company will be bene-
fitted by their choice of a captain.
Lieutenant Hunt of the Regular Army
was present, and after the election the
and officers were taken out
on a hike around the town.

DANISH WOMEN WANT
MILITARY TRAINING
Procuring of Suffrage Rights May be
Followed by New Campaign.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec 12.-
A fight for the introduction of mill
tary service for women is in contem-
plation by the women of Denmark as
sequence to their expected victory
in the struggle for women's suf-
frage
The Danish parliament, they be-
lieve, is almost certain to pass the
bill giving women the vote this win
ter and many women are beginning
to ask what is to become of the suf-
frage organizations. Mrs. Emma
Gade, well-known suffragist and au-
thor, advised them to start a cam
paign for the training of Danish girls
in nursing and commissiariat work.
She argues that this is the only fair
thing for women to do since men are
compelled to give military service for
the rights which they have long en-
joyed.
