VISITS WILMINGTON after
HUERTA SEIZES HIS mine

John Fulmele, brother-in-law OF
Police Captain Charles F. Evans, who
for the past twenty years hav been
living in the northern part of Mexico,
arrived here yesterday afternoon
from that country. Mr.. Fulmele is
stopping at the home of Elijah Hig-
gins, No. I'LL Kirkwood street, an
other relative. He talks entertaining
Iy of the situation in Mexico. He had
a gold mine in Sonora that was seized
by Huerta's force. He says he lost
more than $4,000 during the present
troubles in that country.
Mr.. Fulmele says Mexico is in bad
shape and the people are in poor
condition. He explains Villas hold on
his army by his claim that when he
is the victor he will take back all
the land that Huerta has been sell
ing and give It TO the people for
farms.
villa is good to his men Mr.. Full
mele says. When he takes a town
he seizes the clothing stores and other
supply houses and sees that his army
is properly cared for. Fulmele's only
hope of getting his mining property
back, he says, is in victory for villa
for then the sales made by Huerta
, will be declared Illegal, and the real
owners will have their holdings re
turned to them.
Mr.. Fulmele's father, Andrew Ful
mele, was one of the four men wh'
enlisted at New Orleans during tn
Mexican war and went on board tn
ship Forewood under Captain Loomis
They sailed around the Horn AM
fought the Mexicans, defeating then
on the West Coast. Samuel Wood
and John Lumm we're in the party
They left a ship on which they wer
working at the time to go on boar

In a manifesto issued recently, gives
expression to noble sentiments. He
declares that the Irish people appre-

their national liberties; that Ireland
has promised that concession of lib
erty would change dissatisfaction to
friendship and good will, and that
Ireland would be false to her history
did she not willingly bear her share
In the burdens and sacrifices of the
present European war.
Finally he makes the following
appeal:

new PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE

Cardinal Domenico Ferrata, secre-
tary of the congregation of the holy
office, whom the new Pope Benedict
XIV has appointed secretary of state.
is regarded as the member of the
Sacred college best fitted to occupy
this Office second only in importance
and influence to that of the papacy
itself just at this time, because of the
heavy burden resting upon the Vati-
can due to the war, He succeeds Car
dinal Merry Del Val, secretary under
Pope Plus X.
Cardinal Ferrata has had diplo-
matte influence such as comes to few
OF the college of cardinals. He has
had exceptional experience in ecclesi-
asticai matters, and he has always
manifested friendly disposition to-
ward the leading statesmen Of Italy
and the reigning house of Savoy. His
choice Of secretary is most pleasing
to the italian government, and 1t is
PFophesied he may do much to heal
the breach between il and the Vatican.

HOLLY SETS THE EXAMPLE

The use of moving pictures in the public
schools was endorsed by Philander P.
Claxton, United States Commissioner of
Education, at the meeting Of the National
Educational Association at St. Paul re-
Gently. From experience, we know that
moving pictures in the schools, from an
educational standpoint, are very helpful.
In the town OF Holly, Colo, a machine
was placed in the school and large num-
Der OF slides purchased. Prof. Clewell,
Supt. of the school, gave number of lee.
lures during the school year in the schoo,
auditorium to the different grades and il.
lustrated them with the moving pictures.
The pupils were required to take notes
which proves very beneficial to them in
their daily work.
At public entertainment given at the
opera house by the school Prof. CleweIl
exhibited some of the slides, sho owiua how
they were used in connection with the
lessons of the pupils. He illustrated a
lesson in Commercial geography upon the
subject of silk, showing the silk worm cul.
ture through all the different processes un.
til the thread was spun into the silk we
wear. So vivid were these pictures that
one almost felt that they had seen the silk
industry of Japan.
In his address he said in part: There
are two kinds Of students, the eye and
the ear The former have to see thips
in order to have it impressed upon their
minds, while the latter have to hear in
order to understand"
While this school has been to quite an
expense to obtain and operate this MOVING
picture machine, still the patrons of the
school district as we'll as the superinten.
dent and teachers, feel that they have been
amply repaid for all trouble and expense.
We feel that the time is coming when all
schools Of any size will place moving pic.
lures in their schools, realizing their value
from an educational standpoint. Edna B.

VICTORY OF 1912.

One hundred years ago occurred
the engagement between the Ameri-
cans and the British at Sandy creek,
near Sackett's harbor, on Lake On
tario. In the early morning fotilla
OF 16 barges, laden with naval stores,
was discovered at the mouth of the
creek by the British squadron which
was blockading Sackett's harbor. A
boat party from the fleet, attempt
ing pursuit, became entangled in tho
narrow creek and was attacked by a
force Of Americans with some Indian
allaea. After desperate resistance,
in which they lost 70 men in killed
and wounded, the British force was
overpowered and 14O made prison.
ers. These were with difficulty saved
from massacre by the Iroquois, by
the vigorous interposition of the
Americana.
