Some of the great hotels where
all-night reYels formerly held sway
are now temporary hospitals and
workrooms. The renowned Abbey
is showroom where dolls dressed by
poor midinettes are exhibited.
Everywhere, on the boulevards last
night was an air of cheerfulness. The
stores were gay, though customers
were less numerous.
Martial toys practically exclude all
others. The fayorite mechanical
toys include British soldiers, which
march along with measured tread.
Turcos charging with appraised bay
onet, and German infantrymen
which collapse when shot by toy
gun. Takers behind tiny tables sell
small cannons, lead soldiers, minia-
ture tents and other warlike toys. In
the stores soldier kits and uniforms
are displayed for the. Riddles. The
shop windows almost without excep-
ton suggest war. Most of them show
battlefields.
Male dolls have now come into
their own. Riddles don't seem to
want feminine daintiness. Children
crave the sturdy-loo king French sol
der dolls, or the British khaki-clad
fighter, or the Belgian infantryman.
But most popular of all are the
fierce-looking Russian and Turk
dolls.

If it is being radical to sympathize

they are broken while they are still

1t is amusing that the only people
who are called radical are those who

is quite conservative and therefore

EVERY ENGLISH SOLDIER TO
GET A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Paris, Dec. 22.-Christmas cheer
is going forward to the men in the
trenches today. The trains and
vans that usually carry death-deal-
ing supplies or food for the men who
are doing the killing were today filed
with gifts. Long trains wound un-
ceasingly to the front. Every sol
der will receive a special Christmas
dinner and some sort of a pres
ent, even if it has to be delivered in
the fighting trench.
Paris, the joyous, viii celebrate |
Christmas solemnly, but without sad
ness. There will be no revelries. The
authorities have banned all-night
Christmas eve celebrations in the
restaurants. All must close at 10
o'clock. The government wants no
appearance of joyousness in cafes

He saw Mrs. Mckinney in the
front door, with arevolver in her
hand, pointing it toward Reed.
David r. Ward said he saw Mrs.
Mckinney come to the front door
and heard a report of pistol, but
was too far away to see the gun. He
saw Reed stumble and grope his
way. into the house, having been in

that she was standing at the 'front.'

of the preceding witness, heard the
shots and ran to the kitchen Of her
house, which is near that OF the
Reeds, and she saw Mrs. Mckinney
at the front door and heard her say
twice, II told you I'd do it. y After
the shooting Mrs. Mckinney went
down the road after her mother and
the children, who had left the
house during the progress OF the
row.
DR.. Steel testified that he saw
one wound in the body Of Reed,
and if the bullet had merely gone
through lung it would not have
caused instant death, but 1t had
evidently taken another course.
If there were three shots fired,
which is indicated by the testimony
of several witnesses, only one evil

The others may not have been fired
directly at him.
The coroner's jury, which met
yesterday, released Mrs Mckinney
under $4,000 bail, to await the ac-

The body Of Reed is at the home
of his parents in Newark, from

SCHOOL NOTES

The first term of the school year
ended last Friday and this week
is being devoted to examinations.
A few cases Of measels and one
case Of diphtheria have been re-
ported, but there need be no fear
of a general epidemic. All the
school buildings have been thoroly
fumigated very recently and every
precaution will be taken to pre-
vent contagion through the schools.
Chicken-pox also has re-appeared in
our midst but fortunately this dis
ease does not interfere greatly
with the attendance of the pupils.
Edna Chambers, a member of the
Senior class, has been obliged to
discontinue her school work tenn
porarily. She is now in the Ply
sicians' and Surgeons Hospital,
Wilmington, where she was taken
after an attack of appendicitis.
By the latest reports she is dong
nicely and we now expect her to
return to her classes at an early
date.
On Friday night the Newark
High School basket ball team lost
son to the Wilmington Conference
Academy five at Dover by the
score of 43 to 26. The " "down-Stat-
prs" outweighed the locals over
twenty pounds per man, and it
was their weight and strength
alone that defeated the team from
Newark. Most of the goals scored
by the victors were with one or
two of the local boys clinging to
the man with the ball.
The first half ended with the
score 90 to 6 in favor of w. G. A.,
but in the second half the Newark
ers came back strong, passing all
around their heavy opponents and
scoring as many points as they, on
some sensational field goals. One
of the spectacular shots was made
by Greene who shot over his shoul-
der while running away from the
basket; another by Miller from the
center Of the floor and another by
Ferguson who received the ball on
toss-up and dribbled the entire
length Of the floor.
James, who is considered one of
the best forwards in the State,
played star game for w. G. A.,
while Robinson was close behind
him. Greene and Miller played
we'll for Newark.

.EARLHAM SENIORS
TAKE "JOY" DRIVE
Without Chaperones Girls
and Boys Go Riding in the
Daytime.

The annual commencement drive
was enjoyed Monday afternoon by
Earlham college students with all
the pomp and glory of former years
The annual drive is a custom at Earl
ham, handed down from almost the
first classes at the institution, but an
important fact in connection with this
is that lit isn't what it used to be-
Many years ago the fellows could
take the girls out driving in carriages
from . O'Clock in the afternoon Of
Monday Of commencement week.
There was no dean Of women to
find out when they came back to the
dorm" Some horrible tales have
been told, and it is for this reason
more than any other that this custom
has been changed and remedied that
it is quite different at the present
time.
Now the couples get to take a drive
unchaperoned from only = o'clock in
the afternoon to 7 O'Clock in the even

melted out.
Times have also changed in that
most of the drives are not taken with
horse and carriage, but with an au-

quired eight or ten hours to go four
or five miles. Now they 20 over a

Love Plus 4. B.
is Education

That Earlham is more than an edu-
cational institution is clearly drawn
from some statistics secured by the
Alumni association. Since the found
ing of the college in 1862, during which
time there have been 1,16S degrees
awarded, eighty "Earlham Homes"
have been founded. BY 'Earlham
Homes" is meant that both husband
and wife are graduates of the college.
Another interesting fact in connection
with this is that out of this number in
thirty-five instances, both husband and
wife have been classmates. In addi
ton to this it is rumored that several
more 'Earlham Homes will be added
to this list this year.
Earlham's activity in the missionary
field is shown by the fact that fifty
two former students and graduates of
Earlham have been engaged in for
eign missionary work. TWenty-nine of
this number are Earlham graduates
and twenty-five are now actively en-
gagged in the field.

as any of the Wayne county dele
gates.
Lynch had practically assured Com
stock that he would favor his nomina-
ton. and also informed the Judge that
he would go over the district and as
certain what sentiment there was re-
garding his candidacy.
Lynch got over the district all right,
but for the purpose of boosting his
own candidacy, and not to assist Judge
COmStOck. He had the nomination
slowed away in his vestpOcket when
he arrived in Cambridge City this
morning, but delegates began slipping
away from him when the report Of
his action toward Judge Comstock be
gan to circulate.
Comstock Favorite at Noon.
At noon it seemed that Judge Com
stock was favored by the majority Of
the delegates. At that time. however,
Judge Comstock had not definitely de-
cided whether he would allow his
name to be placed in nomination.
Practical party leaders admitted at
noon that every effort was needed to
bring Wayne county back into the Re
publican fold, and that if Wayne coun-

an unfair dOuble-crOss, there would be
no chance of a Republican victory in
the Sixth district next fall.
If We can not carry Wayne county,
the district is lost. and after the way
Lynch has acted he would have small
chance of success in that county if
he should be nominated. He was
elected chairman as q harmOnizer and
upbuilder. but now he looms up in
the role of a party Wrecker," iisgusted-
lN remarked one Fayette county dele
gate.
Lynch Has Troubles.
Lynch had troubles with his own
delegation from Henry county, and it
was not certain at noon that they
would support him solidly. Several of
his closest friends in New Castle adj
mitted that they made every effort
to persuade him not to enter the field,
but he refused to listen.
James Eli Watson. former congress-
man and district leader, was a promi-
nent figure. He has the same Wat
sonian smile and the same elad-hand,
and was reported to he working hard
for the candidacy Of Lynch
Although the convention was sched-
uled to convene at 1880 o'clock, it
had not been called at noon.
