The New York police, through the
active work of the newspapers of that
city: discovered the murderer of
pretty Anna Aumulla, whose body
had been dismemhered and horribly
mutilated. The murderer is a German
priest, Rev. Hans Schmidt, who has
confessed the crime, and the girl was
his sweetheart. Evidence has been
secured to show that Schmidt has been
leading a double life and engaged in
all sorts of shady transactions While
clever enough to qualify for the
priesthood it is now known that he is
forger Of great skill and cunning
and has practiced medicine both in
Germany and the United States under
an assumed name and under forged
credentials In the fiat be occupied
the police also found tools and
materials for the making of counter
felt money, and in company with a
dentist whom it is shown he knew in
Germany and who has aIso been ar
rested he is supposed to have been en-
gagged in counterfeit operations.

1t is conceded that Lancaster has
one of the best bands in the state. It
there occasioned some comment last
week when this band did not
furnish music for the fair, as usual.
1t all grew out of the fact that the
band boys did not feel that they could
render as good service as they would
wish, fur the reason several of their
members could not take part. The
leader, E. j. Morse, was in Richland
County all week as official court re-
porter at the September term of court.
A majority of the members of the
band are either engaged in business
for themselves or employed as clerks
In the various stores, which rendered
it next to impossible for them to be
absent from their business in the
forenoons, and this would have
necessitsted to hiring of substitutes
and compelling the band to play
with less than the full mem ber-
ship. 1t was therefore voted to in
form the fair officials that they did
not wish to contract for furnishing
the music this year. The Cuba City
band was hired instead and gave good
satisfaction. The band is composed
of lot of young gentlemen who know
how to play and who conducted them
selves with decorum during their stay

AT CHICKAMAUGA.

At Chickamauga, Tennessee, was
held last week the national grand en-
campment of the G. A. r. the first to
be held on southern soil, the date
being the fiftieth anniversary of the
greatest battle of the civil war in the
west-bloody, needless and cruel
where the men of the north and the
south, of the same race, traditions and
almost of brotherhood. faced each
other upon the field of battle with
cannon drawn up in lines within 100
yards of each other. belchiug their
fires Of death into each others serried
ranks. one army clad in union blue
and the other in confederate gray.
The confederate strategy hinged
upon the temporary retreat from
Chattanooga, to lure the union army
into supposed pursuit with scattered
troops. Meanwhile the confederate
army was to have rapid re-enfcrce-
ment and with its powerful force take
an active and violent offensive course.
Gen. Bragg who with 40, 900 apparent
ly dispirited men withdrew from
Chattanooga on Sept. 9, reappeared on
the 10Th with more than 70, 600
veterans, large proportion of whom
were recruited from the forces Of
johnson, Buckner and Longstreet, and
were formed into battle line against
a force of slightly more than so, 900
comprising the effective union forces.
The battle of Chickamauga was fol-
lowed two months later by those of
Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge and most desolating and
inhuman slaughter ensued, from
which the boys in blue emerged
victorious but with ranks terribly de-
cimated.
Those battlefelds Of 1868 are today
transformed into beautiful national
parks, and there the men who wore
the gray fraternized with and opened
their homes in brotherly peace last
week to those who wore the blue and
faced then in battle array upon those
fatefQl scenes half century ago.
1t was an occasion to arouse painful
memories of disrupted country and
the most momentous and awful
struggle the world ever saw, but
whose like it is most ardently hoped
by all we may never see again.

SECOND BERRY CROP is
EXPECTED FROM THE STATE

SELBYVILLE, Del, May 1O.-Every-
thing in Selbyville is now in readiness
for the opening Of the greatest straw
berry season that Sussex county has
ever seen. The first berries are ex-
pected to be in the market today, ac-
cording to the report made by the
Delaware Produce Exchange, and the
arrangements for inspectors. cars and
refrigeration for the handling OF the
crop are now complete. Asa Bennett,
Glib Lynch and other prominent grow
ers are enthusiastic over the pros
poets. particularly in the quality of
the berries that will be put out this
year. I'VE will beat the world this
year." said Mr.. Bennett, "for we ex-
pect to grow the real goods. We are
growing few middle season or 'glut'
varieties, but intend to supply the
finest early and late strawberries in
the world. The Candy berry, which
will be shipped last. will be particu-
larly fine this year
The varieties that are being grown
this year are astonishing. Klondykes,
Champions. Success, Superiors and

Americans an interest in It's outcome
The peace strength of the land forces OF Germany
is 100000 men. The strength of that nation
is S3SoOOO men, total war strength of 100000
men Germany also occupies second place in the
naval powers Of the world with S55OO officers and
men to ships and a naval reserve of 10000
men,
France has land-force peace strength Of 100000
men; reserve land force of 2440OOO men, and a
total war strength of 100000 men, It occupies
fourth place a naval Power and has 5S649 officers
and men to man its fighting ships
Il will be seen therefore that both nations are stag
gerng under the burden of tremendous army and
navy establishments. More than 100000 men are
withdrawn at all times from the fields of production
and hundreds of millions public funds are spent
annually to keep up such establishments. Neither
nation is content with what it has. spurred on by
distrust each continues enlarge its armament and

COMBINE FAR EAST
WITH WILD WEST

There is only one Buffalo Bill and
only one Pawnee Bill, and likewise
there is only one Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Pawnee Bill's Far East
Show. II will visit Wilmington Oh
May Is, Thursday next
There was a day when this show
confined itself solely to those exciting
events which used to occur in that
fair portion of our great land in
which cowboys punched cattle and
shot up the noble redskin and them
selves. 1t was a land full of dead
shots and cattle rustlers, and it was
known chiefly through the novel,
Nowadays there is an additional
lure. For it has been discovered that
the Far East is nearly as exciting a
place as the Wild West, and the inde-
fatigable Pawnee Bill has brought to-
gether the more important marvels to
feast the eyes of the great American
public.
Hence there are now regular ele-
plants in Buffalo Bills, and they are,
some elephants. too, especially small
'Siamese pachyderm, which answers
to the name of Minnie. What Minnie
does not know is not worth any ele-
plants time to bother with.
During the Far East end of the pro-
gram there are also many and thrill
ing acrobatic feats by Bedonins and
Russians, as well as carnival of ORR
entail diversions and a merry melange
of Malaysian Publications" to quote
the winged words of the program
But. as usual, the real Wild West
stun is what pleases the most. The
blood-curdling yells Of the dusky In
dian riders and the horsemanship Of
the cowboys call forth storms of ap-
plause.
OF course. the famous immigrant
train is there. and is valiantly defend
ed against the attack of the murder
Gus Indians. At the end of the pro-
gram is new feature for a Buffalo
Bill show. This is a game Of auto
polo. and it is played with the same
air OF reckless abandon which marks
all of the shows big features.

EDUCATION FOR RURAL CHILDREN.

TAR p. p. CLAYTON, United states Commissioner
- of Education states broad truth, which will ap-
peal strongly to Americans. when he that every
child IN the rural districts should have nine months
Of free schooling each year He has sent to the su-
perintendents of Public instruction ia the several
States Identical letter calling their attention to the
short terms in the rural schools IL also carries with
it earnest appeal for campaign by the state Of
hcias to give to the children in the rural districts
the long-term educational advantages that are
enjoyed by city and town children It is gratifying
TO learn that Dr. Claxon already is receiving many
surances Of hearty cooperation in his work behalf
Of the hundreds Of thousands OF boys and girls who
denied those advantages. Nor should we
lose Of the fact that many OF those boys and girls
live in Delaware and that their welfare and the
good Of the commonwealth demand that the educa-
tiona injustice that being done to them shall
be rghted.
In discussion OF this hishy-important matter in
which the people Of Delaware in common with those
Of other States have such vital interest Dr. Clax-
ton supplies much eliminating Information TO show
that in this country far from approximating q
present schol term Of even 1GO days, the lowest
minimum he
The average length Of the rural school term is only
1873 days or little less than seven months, while
the cities It is 1874 days, more than nine months
Only two States Connecticut and Rhode Island have
school terms exceeding nine months in rural districts
Eleven others have country-schoo terms Of between
eight and nine months. They California. Iowa,
Michigan. Maryland Kansas Nebraska, New Jersey
New York South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin
Many States are considerably below the seven
months average In number OF them the country
schools keep for only six months. Florida and
Arkansas keep their schools in rural districts open for
FIVE months; while North Carolina South Carolina.
and New Mexico have apparently been providing their
country children with barely months and a half OF
schooling every year.
Nearly an the city schools the Commissioner shows.
already have ninemonths terms. 1S0 days more,
with we-raned teachers. and there IS reason, he
declares why the country children should have as
many days OF schooling and good teachers boys
and girls in the city Dr. Glaxton asks minimum
school term for the rural districts of eight or nine
months-eight temporarily; minimum qualification
for rural teachers of four years Of high school
not less than two years of college or normal school
education, and good libraries for all rural schools.
with these he says "should go an effort to ad-
just the work Of the rural schools closely TO
tho needs Of country life"
number of the States with short rural terms are
making splendid efforts to bring the country schools
up to the standard Of their city schools in length Of
term and other essentials. Dr. Claxon believes that
all the states will be aided by concerted movement
for better rural schools throughout the nation.

reach 2O,000,000 of quarts, and the

mum of 100 carloads in a day this
year, although the establishment of
strawberry preserving factories al
many points in the county will cut
down the shipments to market some

Last year the shipments over the

acreage there is no reason why the
2O,OOO,OOO prediction should not be
over exceeded.
Frosts and wet weather have per-
haps cut the crop one-third, but even
with that amount gone there will
still be many more than last year.
when but about a third of a crop was
picked when the dry weather jumped
in at picking time and killed so many.
IL is to be a great year. and Selbyville
expects to lead them all.
