BULLS EDGE OF COMPLIMENT
But Amateur Musician 1ravely Re
Trained From Making Explanation
to Young Lady.

Every evening for three weeks twin
brothers had been practicing for an
amateur band concert One twin,
Joseph, played a cornet, and the other,
Joel, operated on the violin. Meeting
a young woman, Joseph asked her If
she would attend the musical feast.
Yes she said, land | think it will
be very nice indeed I've heard you
and your brother practcing. That
symphony of yours last night on the
cornet was exquisite"
Unfortunately the keen edge of this
compliment was dulled, because JO-
seph recalled that he had not played
cornet on the previous night He
had practiced on trombone, but
bravely refrained from making an ex-
PLANTATION.
And there was another piece that
caught my fancy" the young lady con-
hnued. 1T seemed like a Wagnerian
extract. Do you also play a saxo-
phone?"
mo. miss" was the amateurs ad-
mission.
i wonder what was the other instru-
nent ] heard last night?"
i can't say positively, but II II
was about nine o'clock, | think broth
sr Joel was either putting a new
string on his violin or tuning the old
piano"

COURTS WILL DECIDE
BOUNDARY CONTENTION

As a result Of the judgement entered
at Trenton, N. j., last Monday by the
Attorney generals department in the
suit of the State of New Jersey against
Charles Matson and Mary Bolwel, Unit
ed States army soldiers, who were fined
$4,000 each for violations of the fish
and game laws of that State. the dispute
as to the boundary line between New
Jersey and Delaware will be taken to
the government court for a settlement.
The defendants, who are stationed at
Fort Moot, near Salem, were found
guilty of illegal fishing in the Delaware
Bay. They contended that they were
fishing in the State of Delaware, but
the New Jersey authorities held that
the boundary line of their State is in the
middle of the bay. Counsel for the
soldiers claimed it to be further east.
The location of the line has been an
issue between the two States for years,
but it may be solved now that the Unit
ed States courts are to be used.

new CENTURY CLUB.

The regular meeting of the Milford
New Century Club was held Mon
day November 18th, Mrs. j. Lynn
Pratt presiding. After the reading of
the minutes there being very little bust
ness to be attended to, the meeting was
in the hands of the chairman of house
hold economics Mrs. E. A. Andrews.
The musical number on the program
was a delightful solo, by Miss Gertrude
Atkins. Mrs. Andrews then told the
ladies that there would be demonstra-
tiOns given of making various dainty
dishes. Mrs. Andrews served baked
onions, potatoes and apples all of which
had been cooked in papers bags. Mrs.
Edward Pierce served steamed pOne
with tiny pats of butter. Mrs. Charles
Prettyman's cream oysters were pre-
pared in chatting dish and were served
in dainty timbales which Mrs. Pratt made
over an alcohol lamp, Mrs. Evans had
a delicious rice custard, Mrs. Pratt
fine chocolate cake, Mrs. Truitt, Shrimp
SOuffle and Mrs. Mark Davis, coffee
made in percOlatOr. The young ladies
of the club passed these dainty dishes
to the members, and every one pro-
nOunced the cooking fine and the menu
uIlSuI tldSS6u.
After the ladies had given the recipes
for making the various dishes, the
vacuum cle2ner. aaaa dish washer Bere
defn66strated and these ended very
pleasant afternoon. Mrs. Henry Ridge
ly of Dover will speak. Her subject
will be Free Library, and the meet
ing will be an open day. Every one is
asked to come to hear Mrs. Ridgey,
who viii explain everything about the
means of obtaining a free library for
Milford. There has been such a wrong
impression given about the taxation
regarding free libraries. it is earnestly
hoped that property owners will attend
this meeting and hear how very little
tax win be added, for this much needed
and valued necessity. The Japanse
bazaar which the ladies viii hold the
first week in December will be very
All sorts of useful and
beautiful gifts for Christmas will be on
sale and the ladies are doing everything
to make this bazaar a great success.

TEACHERS MANUAL COMPLETED.

The Book Department of the CHRoNI-
Gle Office has completed and shipped to
Superintendent E. J. Hardesty this week
one of the finest Teachers Manuals ever
used at a Sussex County Institute. The
book contains sixty-four pages filed
with pictures and interesting informa-
tiOn to those who are interested in pub
lie school matters. The cover of the
manual is a beautiful shade of brown,
printed in black and red. The book is
not only a credit to the Superintendent.
but is also a fine sample of printing.
The CHRONICLE has the best equipped
book department of any printing plant
in lower Delaware. This, coupled with
the fact that only expert workmen are
employed in that department, insures
good results for those who place orders
for high grade work with US. We are
always glad to furnish estimates on all
kinds of job and book work. catalogue
work especially being solicited.

BOARD OF HEALTH COMMUNICATION.

The following communication has been
received by the Town Council of Mil
ford from the local Board of Health
Realizing the inevitable arrival of
the day, not far distant, when govern
mental laws will prohibit, for sanitary
reasons, the indiscriminate pollution of
the streams of our State, it seems ap-
prOpriate that our town begin to take
steps now which will be the ultimate
means of saving thousands of dollars to
the Town treasury by instituting all
further extension of streets, sewers.
ETC., only to fit in with plans which will
tend to overcome our present glaring
sanitary defects. The Board of Health
demands that before further municipal
improvements in the ways of street
sewers be started, that a competant
sanitary engineer be employed to ascer-
tain, for the benefit of taxpayers, what
will be the probable or best methods to
rectify such defects as may be found in
our present sanitation. Anyone with
sufficient knowledge and reason, who is
familiar with the fact, will only too
readily concede the grave menace we
now harbOr in our midst from the open
sewage we allow the Mispillion to be
because of the emptying of our town
sewage into this stream in the centre of
the business section. Those giving
thought to the remedying of this cOndi-
ton will of necessity conclude that the
future solution will indicate demand
for publication of the sewage before it
is given exit into the Mispiliion. This
can be accomplished by septic ferment-
alton or disinfection, each secured by
expensive specially arranged apparatus
designed for this purpose. The Board
cf Health thinks that money should not
be wasted which can be applied to sani-
tary Improvement capable of ready con
version to the needs of up-to-d late and
competent systems which will be forced
upon us. AS to the certainty of this
governmental regulation there can be no
doubt, for there must be a solution for
our present glaring large death and in
fectious sick list. As it is well ac-
ceeded fact that pigs love to wallow in
their filth, so we who have been used to
our old time ways are averse to change
even in the proof of danger. Yet our
federal and State, valuing each persons
life as worth so much in their assets,
will force US to take those necessary
precautions which we in our ignorance
deem to disregard.

GREAT NUMBER OF GUNNERS.

When Friday morning, November Is,
dawned in lower Delaware, hundreds OF
visitors from the cities and other States,
arose with the day and sailed forth
with dog and gun in quest of rabbit and
quail The morning of Friday in most
of the large towns of Delaware was
more like a Sabbath day, by reason of
the lack of noise and absence of men
and dogs from the streets, but as soon
as you passed into the country the bangs
of guns and cry of dogs on the trail Of
game, dispelled any illusion as to its
being Sunday. From the gunners' point
of view, the weather was ideal-damp,
cool and moderately cloudy, and the
bags of game reported seem to Indicate
rabbit and quail fairly plenty. Of
course no one man kills over six rabbits
the limit fixed by the law.
