Interesting Entertainment t or
Teachers

Students and instructors lii the
Summer School to the number OF
1870 assembled in the College Ora
torv on Monday evening for an III
formal entertainment and recep..
ton, provided by the Faculty OF
the School. Local talent among
the members of the Faculty with
the generous assistance OF friends
in the town furnished varied en-
tertainment of vocal and instru-
mental music, readings, addresses,
and puzzling conundrums. After
this rather formal part Of the en-
tertainment, light refreshments
were served and an opportunity
was given for the students OF the
school to become better acquainted
with enc another and with the
teachers in charge of the various
courses.
The first number Of the informal
program was a short address by
IDr. Geo. A. Harter, President OF
| the College and Director OF the
Summer School. He welcomed the
teachers to Delaware College, ex-
pressed his pleasure at the already
encouraging features Of the School
and pointed out that this Summe,

BOLD ATTEMPT AT
BANK ROBBERY
Plan Frustrated by Town Ofcer-Horse Stolen and CuI
prit Escaped.

The vigilance of Egbert Shell
lender. the town policeman, pre-
vented a bank robbery here Sun
dav night, and had he not been
confronted by a high fence and
other handicaps, the officer would
most likely have captured at least
one Of those involved in the at
tempted robbery. An attempt was
made to break into the bank build
ING of the Farmers Trust Co., on
Main street, formerly the building
of the Newark National Bank, but
it was ipped in the bud by the
officer.
AS there is no regular mail car
ried out from the postofice to the
railroad stations after 8 O'Clock at
night, Officer Shellender, whose du-
ties require him to be at the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad station when
trains arrive and depart, accommo-
dates persons having mail ready
after the postoffice closing hour by
gathering it up at different points
about town and taking it to the B.
& O. station and placing it on the
northbound train due to leave here
at 1917 O o'clock. He did this Sun
day night, but as the train was late
he was late getting back to the heart
of the town.
As is customary, on his return
fro mthe railroad station, the Off
Ger sat down to rest on the porch
in front of C. B. Majors butcher
shop. on Main street, which adjoins
the trustcompany building. He
happened to be sitting near the end
of the porch which is next to a high
fence enclosing the bank yard, and
had not been there long when ne
heard what he supposed was a dog
or cat moving about in the yard
The sound caused him to make an
investigation, and when he peesccfhf pee cch

ness, going in the direction of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, run
ming back of Delaware College and
across some fields. The officer fred
his revolver and the robber is
thought to have fired back, though
he was in such a position that this
is not definitely known. So far as
is known, he was not hit by bull
let from the officer s revolver.
HORSE STOLEN TO GET
AWAY.
Sometime the same night horse
was stolen from the farm Of John
F. Richards, at Lumbrook, which is
about a mile from the bank, and
the horse and carriage were found
in Wilmington Monday, having
been abandoned there. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that the man chas-
ed from the bank got away from
Newark in that rig, and it is not
improbable that he had an accom-
plice, although Policeman Shellen-
der saw only one man.
At the conclusion Of the chase,
the officer returned and made an
examination of the bank building.
He found under rear window, on
the west side of the bank, a pair Of
gloves and a saw, and there was ev-
idence where the saving Of two Of
the steel bars in front of the win
dow had been started, and also
where a crowbar or other bar had
bee nused in an effort to pry the
bars wider apart, for several were
bent and the bricks at the side of
the window were broken. The win
dow had not been raised, as it could
not be manipulated until after the
barriers in front of it had been re-
moved. AS an entrance to the bank
was not effected, nothing was stol-

The spirit Of the Summer School

ment follows: 100.
The Summer School FOR Teachers
at Delaware College has opened
with a gratifyingly large number
of teachers drawn from all parts Oh

than this large enrolment Is tne
spjrit which has characterized theil
work: even in the hot, humid

PUTTING THE BLAME ON
SOMEBODY.

Ruth Cameron, who contributes
short stories to the Times-Demo-
crat said recently in her refresh
ing style,
"If we try hard enough, we
can always find someone to
blame" when things go wrong.
"But wouldn't it be a happier
world if, instead of trying hard
enough, we cheerfully accepted
things as nobody's fault, just ac-
cidents2"
There is not the least doubt
about it. We would all be hap
pier and more cheerful, if we
could get over the deep-rooted
habit of blaming the other fel-
low.
Where the great harm comes, is
in the irritation, friction, and un-
pleasantness, which we bring into
our own lives by brooding because
certain plans miscarried through
someone s mistake. !.
There is nothing but unhappl-
ness in brooding and sulking.
Blaming someone when things 60
wrong puts you out of humor and
gives you the blues and does not
help at all to remedy anything.
Because certain people prefer
to deal with strangers over IN
New York. Chicago and other far
away cities, is no reason for those
who in supporting home ente--
prise to lose their temper.

WHERE STRENGTH RESULTS
FROM WEAKNESS.

1t is singular paradox, but un-
deniable nevertheless, that Huer-
ta's strength is his weakness. No
nation of the first or second class
en- earth could do the things the
Mexican usurper and assassin is
doing and make a getaway. Nor
can he continue to do so indefin-
itely, for even now he has dug the
pit into which he must inevitably
fall, it being impossible for the
civilized nations to permit crimes
against humanity to 60 unpunish
ed. Until now he has been priv
ileged to defy every canon of
civilization s ethics because the
United States, big and generous
nation, was reluctant to inf1ict
condign discipline upon an infant
nation whose people, in the event
of war, would be the innoc ent vic.
Tins of the consequence Of Huer-
ta's crimes. Awaiting himself of
his knowledge Of the humane in
clinations of the United States,
this puny braggart has played
upon it and actually led the mas
ses to believe that the United
States dares not correct and pun
ish this international criminal.
But weakness will not always
avail to shield crime, hence there
is a day of terrible reckoning yet
ahead of Huerta.-Country Re-
view.
