H. S. Schuff Will Become
General Manager of the
Geist Company Gas Interests

Chamber of Commerce, and took an
active interest in every movement
that tended to the upbuilding of Will
mington. Though stranger here,
three eyars ago, he had the welfare
and interests of the city at heart as
much as native born. IL was this
aptitude to assist in the building up
of Wilmington that earned for him
The friendship and esteem of those
among whom he came in contact.
Under the able management of Mr.
Schutt the Wilmington Gas Company
has greatly increased its business.
The operation OF the company's ar
fairs here was on a high plane and
metropolitan methods were employed
in widening the scope of the COM
pany's business territory.
Mr.. Schutt is only a young man
yet, and judging from his past en-
deavors there is a bright future for
him. His promotion, while a pleas
ure to his many friends, breaks a
bond OF friendship here that was
strongly welded. Mr.. Schutt will not
be stationed far away from the city,
however, and his acquaintances ex.
pect to meet him frequently.
While in Wilmington Mr. Schutt
made his home at No l4l5 Van Buren,

AT s DEGREES ON
THE COLDEST DAY

Wilmington today is enjoying old
fashioned Winter. The cold came late
yesterday afternoon and last night
proved the coldest night of the year.
The thermometer ranged between 20
and 8 degrees above zero, while the
city was swept by fierce wind that
was almost a gale. All along Market
street the dust and dirt collected in
places. and at times would be gath
cred into a whirlwind that made it
decidedly uncomfortable TO those who
happened TO be passing at these par
ticular points.
This morning the wind has disap-
peared but at 8 o'clock the thermore-
ter was resting at above and the
air was very biting. For a number
OF days there has been excellent
skating along the Brandy he which
has been enjoyed by great numbers Of
the lovers of the winter sport. In the
last few days sporting goods dealers
have fs~rranged their show windows
with skates and sleds and every in
dication points to several weeks Of
cold weather and fun for those who
enjoy winter sports The i'e men
are lso happy for until the frss OF
this week the outlook was decidedly
bad for them.

JESSIE WILSON, DAUGHTER
OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT,
TOPLEAD FOR 10 HOUR LAW
Beautiful and Talented Young Woman win Deliver
an Address in Wilmington on Saturday Evening
in Behalf of Women and Girl Wage Farmers

Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, Of
Princeton. daughter of President-elect
Wilson. and acknowledged to be the
beauty OF the Wilson family, viii come
to Wilmington on Saturday and make
an impassioned appeal TO the men and
women Of Delaware to support the
Mooney Ten-Hour work-Day bill for
women and girl wage-earners in Della
ware.
Her speech will be delivered on
Saturday evening, just where has not
been decided, as the news of her com
ing was not received until this morn
ing. The details of the meeting win
be announced tomorrow.
1t goes without saying that. wher-
ever she may speak. the place will be
crowded. as there will be a general
desire to see and to hear the beauti-
full and talented daughter of the
President-elect
The understanding is that the Ten
Hour Law Committee, under the
auspices Of which Miss Wilson viii
come TO Wilmington. will throw the
doors OF the meeting place wide open
so that men and women, and particu-
larly wage-earning women and girls,
may hear her plea for a ten-hour day.
OF the Wilson girls, one of them,
Miss Jessie. who is coming here on
Saturday, is just as pretty as a girl
can be. The other two. while not Of
the beauty type, are decidedly attrac-
tive. They all possess the mental
characteristics of their father-ser-
ious-minded dedness-tempered with the
the keen sense of humOr that gives
zest to every moment OF their lives.
Margart Wilson, the oldest, is twen-
ty-six. She bears striking resem-
blance to her father, even more so
than her sisters. though they, TOO. in
sist that they have his cast OF feature.
Miss Margaret is the musician of the
family, with ambitions to make her
career on the concert stage. The
White House probably Will not alter
her plans, for she Is enthusiastically
devoted to her career.
The two eldest daughters, Marga-
ret and Jessie Woodrow, were born in
Gainesville, Ga, where the family
used TO visit relatives OF Mrs. Will
son during Professor Wilson's vaca-
tions while a member Of the faculty
OF Bryn Mawr College. Jessie Wood
row is now twenty-five and Eleanor
Randolph, the youngest. born at Mid
dletown, Conn, while DR.. Wilson was
at Wesleyan. Is twenty-five.
The girls early education was much
on the order of that received by their
father from his clerical sire. The DEM
ocratic candidate was not shown the
alphabet till he was nine, but his
mental growth was being stimulated
by most unusual home tutoring. Mrs.
Wilson, who is like her husband, a
clergyman's child. applied the same
theories to Margaret. Jessie and Flea
nor.
Margaret never saw the inside OF a
schoolroom till she was ten. Her sis
ters also were taught at home by their
mother and a German goyerness. Be
fore they were ready for school the
family of the young professor we're es-
tablished in Princeton, and the chill
dren attended a private school cor
