SEA SCOUTING
A DIVERSION
FOR BOY SCOUTS

A new development in the Boy
Scout movement that has aroused con
siderable interest is known as "Sea
Scouting" Troops Of scouts are or
ganized under the direction Of some
experienced yachtsman and the boys
are taught the elements Of seaman
ship. It Is recognized that 70 some
lads the appeal Of the water Is even
greater than the appeal Of the woods,
and II is for such that Sea Scouting
is designed and for whom it is proving
so attractive Wilmington as yet is not
so fortunate as 10 have such a troop
although Il would seem that a sDlen-
did opportunity Is offered here TO any
man with the required experience ana
interest in this work. One OF the 10
cal scouts. however. has been lucky
enough TO secure an assignment TO
the Philadelphia Nautical Troop and
left Thursday for Island Heights. N.
j., where with the rest Of his troop
he will go on board the steam yacht

Scout Master Charles d. Longstreth,
well known in Philadelphia yachting
circles. James Morford, first class
scout, is the fortunate boy, a member
Of Troop No. 2. connected with the
Old Swedes Church. He is looking
forward to a very delightful and in
structive week.
The four members Of Troop No. 2
who we're on duty at the Gettysburg
encnmpment are very proud Of the
bronze medals received by them from
the Pennsylvania Commission In re-
cognition of their good work. Each
OF the scouts al the great camp were
given one OF these medals, which are
Of beautiful workmanship and artis-
tic design. From a bar In yellow
and blue enamel bearing the word
Scout" suspended by blue and
gray ribbon hangs the medal showing
two kneeling veterans with the angel
of peace above them On the re-
verse two clasped hands signify peace
and friendship between the North
and South. The medals are dupli-
Gates of the gold ones given to Presi-
dent Wilson and other distinguished
visitors. Scout Master Roney who
was in charge OF the Wilmington boys
has written letter of commenda-
tion to them, praising them for their
attention TO duty while under his
command.

CITY The STOP
OVER PRIVILEGE

Announcement was recently made that
Wilmington is included by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company regarding
stop-over privileges When the general
trofhc managers met several weeks ago
in New York, the arrangement was
reached that stop-over privileges should
be granted on certain class of tickets,
and over the various lines.
The B. q o. was the first 10 agitate
such a movement, and as a result the
agreement was reached. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company published at
once that the stop-over privileges would
be granted, and the b. g. O. circular, is
sued a few days later, furnishes the in
formation that on round trip and single
trip tickets the stop-over privileges are
granted, beginning August l., and vii.
mington is Included.
The Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived a letter from Harry A. Miller,
travelling passenger agent for the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, in regard to the
stop over privileges at Wilmington. The
letter is addressed 10 George r. Mccoy
ern. secretary, and enclosed with il was
a supplement to the b. & O's tariff
ItENInNlVHNs fMllIifils ANuifr anu ANtZWT
lations Governing Stop-over Privileges
and Optional Routes on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, Effective August /,
1913"
The letter says; "Under this supple
ment. stop-overs at Wilmington will be
permitted on the same class of tickets
and under the same conditions as au-
thorized at other points in paragraphs
Nos. I and ?. Fun details will be found
in this supplement on the reverse side,
and as il goes into general details,
think It will be to the advantage of all
concerned TO give it 10 the newspapers
for publication.
"1he mere statement some time ago in
the papers does not fully cover the mat
ter. whereas the circular I enclose will
give the public full conception of what
the stop-over privilege means, and by
means Of this publicity they become con
versant with the full privilege accord
ed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. -
The circular referred TO by Mr..
Miller gives the tariff schedule which
goes into effect on August 1913, re-
garding the stop over privileges.

cording to the Court. When arrested
by Oficer Benson last evening at
Sixth and Market streets Ewing was

never heard of whiskey being cure

weak man and after the fine had been
imposed he was led back to the cell.
AS he left the dock he remarked. "All
that talk for nothing
II was then that Ewing's record was
looked into and the court said that some
thing should be done TO stop men from
coming before the court regularly. The
name of Patterson, the Judge said, should
top the list. as the judges of the Court
OF General Sessions recently issued an
order prohibiting any one from giving
or selling him liquor The names OF
all other men who make a practice OF

those who could get intoxicating liquors
would purchase it for Patterson, who
steals while drunk. Ewing always fights

MANY BRIDGE BUILDERS
CALL ON LEVY COURTMAN

Representatives of bridge builders
and road contractors have been
numerous here for several days. The
bridge men are calling on the mem
bers of the Levy Court to try to con-
vince them that they have the best
make of bridge to sell. Data of ac-
cidents at bridges of other makes is
given at length by the rival agents.
Members of the Levy Court say
what they really want to know is how
much Il costs TO operate the different
kinds of bridges. Whether they arc
the vertical lift, trunion or roller lift
bridges the operating expenses are
something TO be considered. From
the number of plans secured it is .ex-
pected that the number of bidders for
the new bridge to cross the Christiana
river will be large. The bids will be
impression made on June 23rd."
