Boarding Club have had to pay no
more than nineteen cents a meal,
even during the time between
Thanksgiving and Christmas,
when everything to eat was excep-
tioualiy expensive. And most Of
the time the price of meals has
been less than eighteen cents. This
club is a cooperative one run by
the students themselves under the
direction Of matrOn appointed by
the College. Since a dining hall is
also provided by the College, the
students have to pay only for the
actual cost of the food and service.
Moreover, the fact that groceries
and such produce as potatoes can
be bought in quantities and there
fore much cheaper, materially less
ems the price Of meals. The meals
served at the Boarding Club COM
pare favorably in both quality
and Quantity with the meals serv-
ed by the hotels and boarding
houses in the town. This club has
made it possible for students who
might otherwise be denied the ad-
vantage Of college education, to
get meals at a comparatively low
price while they are away pursuing
their college course.

In a short time a preliminary
bulletin will be issued concerning
the courses to be given in the Sum
mar School to be held at Delaware
College under the direction Of the
State Board of Education and the
College authorities. In addition to
the work given last summer, which
was chiefly elementary, it is likely
that some advanced courses will be
riven for those students who have
taken the elementary work and de
sire to qualify themselves for
teaching higher courses or to pre-
pare themselves TO enter either
/ Delaware College or the Delaware
/ College for Women. Furthermore,
. it is expected that a greater variety
of work will be attempted this year
than was attempted last year. In
certain cases students will be given
credit on their teachers : certificates
for courses taken in the Summer
School without their having to take
the regular teachers examinations
in these subjects.

Shooter of Poormaster Now
Behind Bars at May
vile, N. Y.

Mayville, N. ", Jan. 2l.--Edward
Beardsley, the Chautauqua county out
law, who for over week defied the eff
forts of Sheriff Anderson to arrest him,
gave himself up to party of news
papermen to-day. He accompanied them
to hotel here and later was locked up
in Jail. Sheriff Anderson and his posse
maintained guard five hours after
Beardsley had left the house.
- Beardsley was wanted by the sheriff
for shooting the poormaster, G. w. Put
nam. The victim is said to be improv-
ing and there is chance for his recovery.
For several days during his resistance
to arrest, Beardsley had been reaping a
harvest of dollars by signing picture
postcards and posing for his photograph.
He admitted when asked yesterday if
he was going to surrender that he hated
TO give up this revenue, for he would
need the money to hire lawyers in his
trial and also to take care of nine chill
dren.

Rutland, Jan. 2l.--Leo f. Canty of
this city, aged 20 years, former clerk
in the paymaster's Office of the Rutland
railroad, yesterday sued the road for
S25, 900. damages, claiming that he was
severely burned and MANNED for life
through negligence of the railroads Off
cials. The accident happened in the pay
masters Office on August %, 1913. A can
containing alcohol or some similar fluid
which was used to fill lamp for melt
ing sealing wax, exploded while in Mr.
Canty's hands. The flaming liquid was
thrown over his clothing and his chest
arms and shoulders were terribly burned
He was in the hospital six weeks and
confined to the house two months after

CHARGES MURDER
AT ESSEX JUNCTION
Bill Reported by Grand jury Against
Harice Benson, Accusing Him Of
Staying Fellow Negro, Alex
ander Cole.

Burlington, Jan. 2l.--The stiffness of
county court was broken yesterday only
by the report Of the grand jury after
an all night session. A true bill was
found against Harice Benson for murder
in the first degree. This case arises
from the killing of Alexander Cole at
the Essex Junction dam several weeks
ago, in fracas in which both parties
were negroes. Another bin the grand
jury considered and failed TO find.
Before the grand jury came in the case
of Elihu b. Taft vs.. Mary Watkins of
Grand Isle, an action to recover on prom
issory notes of several thousand dollars
value, was urged for trial by c. P.
Cowles, attorney for the plaintiff The
defendant asked further delay on the
ground that the principal witness was
i'll. The court was inclined to blame
the defendant for not advancing the case
further on the docket, but finally put
the case over until Monday.
The report on the condition of county
property was something of a novelty.
The jurymen suggested first that the
courthouse doors be made to swing out
instead of in, second that the building
be equipped with fire escapes and other
modern conveniences, so as to conform
to the state law, and third that the
sidewalk in front of the courthouse be
put in condition to compare favorably
with the postoffice sidewalk.

A DISTRESSING SITUATION.
Revealed by the Arrest of Woman in
Burlington.

Burlington, Jan. 2l.-The arrest of
Annie Kilrain at her home on Champlain
street yesterday morning was a partial
solution of SOCIAL problem that came
to the attention of the police authorities
and the Humane society. The woman,
who is on the list as an habitual drunk
ard. was arrested on the charge of in
toxication. Her four-year-old stepson
was taken to the Home for Destitute
Children by Humane Officer Fuller a

"GRAND OLD MAN"
OF CANADA DEAD
Lord Strathcona Passed Away in London
To-day at the Age of 90 Years
After Very Active
Career

London, Jan. 2l-Lord Stratheona anC
Mount Royal, high commissioner fol
Canada, died at l;55 o'clock this morn
ing.
Lord Strathcona died peacefully in
sleep. He has been virtually unconscious
since half-past four o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Death was due to prostration, the re-
suit Of a severe attack of catarrh. He
had been ailing, however, ever since the
death of his wife on November IL last,
which proved a great shock to him.
Lord Strathcona's life spanned nearly
century, and his active career full
three-quarters. "The best way to live
to an old age" he explained when found
at work at his desk in London, on his
93d birthday on August 8 last, lis by
not thinking about age at all, but just
going on doing your work"
From his eighteenth year, when as
Donald Smith, sturdy Scot, he sailed
for Canada, to his oath year, which
would have been completed next August,
he lived up to his maxim of work. For
the past six years he had been period
ically reported as about to resign" the
but it was death. and not his resigna-
tion, which terminated his work.
His first years in Canada were those
of an adventurous youth in what was
then real wilderness. The Hudson Bay
company, which controlled practically all
British America, engaged him as clerk,
and by successive stages he grew to be
head of the corporation, and he was its
last resident governor. During this serv-
ice, which was mainly in Labrador, he
was threatened with snow blindness and
had to make forced march of 500 miles
through the snow to Montreal for an
operation on his eyes, which is one of
many instances of his perseverance.
After thirty years in the eastern wilds
he took what he called slight "rest"
as resident governor in Montreal, and
then accepted the offer of leading Lord
Wolseley's expendition to the Northwest.
Lord Wolseley said of him that his tact
and confidence so won the Indians of that
whole region that his word was law
among them.
Later he bent his energies toward
opening up the West. and he is credited
with having pressed the Canadian Pacific
railway TO completion across the con-
tinent. He also had political experience
as member of the Manitoba legislature,
and for many years was member of
ahe dominion parliament.
In 1896, fifty-eight years after he had
first landed in Canada, Lord Strathcona's
fellow countrymen thought that their
"grand old man" deserved rest, and
he was sent to London as high COM
missioner. A life of work had made
labor second nature to the new COM
missioner, who, even then at rs years of
age. set himself the task of making
Canada better known in Europe. 1t was
rather uphill work, but Lord Strath-
cona's untiring energy won, and he re-
mained high commissioner long enough,
to find his dominion the best known in
the empire, drawing from British in
vestors a goodly share of that capital
which formerly went to the development
of foreign countries.

TENEMENT HOUSE BURNED.
Occupants Saved Only the Clothes on
Their Backs.

Middlebury, Jan. 2l.-The tenement
house three miles east of this village
owned by John Manney, and occupied by
family named Derusia, was burned to
the ground early Tuesday morning with
practically all contents. Mrs. Derusia
and four young children were alone in
the house at the time, the men being at
work in the woods and there was no
neighbor within half mile to render
help. The woman and children escaped
with only what they had on their backs
The fire is supposed to have caught from
a defective chimney.
