Young men OF Delaware have a rare
opportunity offered them by the terms
of the will of the late Senator Garrett
Foxwell, of Kent county, Nd, native
of Delaware, which provides for Gar
rett Foxwell scholarships at Washington
College, Chestertown, Md. The pro
visions of the will are as follows:
Ttem-It is my will and desire in the
disposition of my estate, after the death
of my wife, to accomplish two-fold
purpose:
"O. First, the erection of some
suitable dormitory or other like building
for the use of Washington College, in
Chestertown, Nd.
go. Secondly, the creation in per-
petuity of five free scholarships in said
college which shall be known as The
Garrett Foxwell Scholarships. to aid
deserving young men and for the ad-
vancement of education.
'And to this end l will, devise and
dispose of my estate as follows: | de-
sire that the entire residue of my es-
tate Except the five Thousand above be-
queathed for life to Eva Foxwell SMITH
shall be held in trust by Hope H. Bar
roll, my executor hereinafter named,
to whom have fully made known my
wishes. and in whose discretion l re-
pose entire confidence, that the same
shall be used for and applied to the pur-
pose of the erection of a suitable brick
or stone building for Washington Col
lege to be used either as dormitory,
infrmary, gymnasium, library or other
similar and like buildings, which my
executor and the visitors and governors
of Washington College in the state Of
Maryland may determine will be for
the greatest benefit and advantage of
the college; the said building shall be
known and designated as The Garrett
Foxwell Dormitory, Library or Gynas-
ium. !"
On Saturday last the visitors and
governors of Washington College
adopted a resolution which was unani-
mously passed in which the bequest was
accepted upon each and every condition
as set forth in the will. This was sign
ed by j James A. Pearce, president of the
college, and a copy forwarded to Hope
T. Barroll, executor and &ustee Of
Senator Foxwell's estate.
AS the will provides that five free
scholarships shall be created in per-
petuity six months after the death of
the donner, the governors of the college
resolved in the resolution that the Gar
rett Foxwell scholarships be Immediately
established and that they take effect at
the next session of college.
1t is provided in the will that the
building shall be kept insured in the sum
of at least three-fourths of its value and
in the event Of its destruction by fire
otherwise the proceeds of the insurance
shall be invested and ear-marked as the
Garrett Foxwell Fund until such time
as the sum shall be sufficient for the
erection of building similar to the one
which may have been destroyed.
1t is provided that the scholarships
shall be provided through competitive
examinations open to all white youths
who are residents of any part Of Kent
county, Md. If at any time there are
not a sufficient number of applicants
from Kent county, Md, it is provided
that the scholarships shall be open to
applicants from Kent county, Delaware,
under the same conditions of competi-
tive examinations.

THE DAY AFTER

20, for a crackerless Fourth of July,
For moment of shootlessness,
When millions of boys
Would shut off the noise,
And silence would follow to bless
A nation which in other ways
Is not at all detected;
In fact, is doing quite as well
AS could have been expected.
0, for some soundless powder to burn
And for voiceless boys to cheer,
To show to the world
That our flag is unfurled
And that our country still is here,
And just as good as it ever was,
And just as patriotic,
Although it expression may not be
So bangle and boomic and shotic!
o, for bangboomfzzlessness
That would bring glad release
To musble and lung
Aud nerves unstrung,
And cover the dad with peace;
When everybody in the land
Might pause in contemplation
Of which, on the quiet, is
The worlds supremest nation!
o, for nonexplosive Fourth,
just one for change of diet,
When millions of boys,
Instead of noise,
Would raise a tremendous quiet
A Fourth like that would show the
world,
Beyond all dubitation,
The really truly greatness of
This country as a nation. P"

WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN


/ Itbecomes more apparent every day
that the womanhcod of Delaware is BY
no means a unit in the deTnad for votes
for women, and that there is going tc
be in this State a determined and un-
compromising fight between the suffra-
gists and the anti sufiragists.
Nor is the opposition to the suffra-
gists of a nature which will permit
them to ignore or despise it. While ii
will not meet with their sympathy, ii
cannot fail to command their respect.
For instance, we find, through litera-
ture sent Gu. by the Women's Commit
tee of Delaware Opposed to Woman
Suffrage, that among the Delaware
women of prominence who already have
declared themselves against votes for
women are Mrs. Eugene dupont, Mrs.
Mary Corbit Warner, Mrs. Mary Polk
Mrs. Mary Wilson Thompson, Mrs.
| James Pennewill. Mrs. Lewis w. Mus
tard, Mrs. Walter orris, Mrs. Emma
Burnett, Mrs. R. J. Aindale, Mrs.
Thomas v. Cahall, Mrs. Caleb Burch-
email, Mrs. Frederick NJ. Kinsman, Mrs.
Charles L. Reid, Miss Katherine Will
son, Mrs. Josephine w. Bissell, Mrs.
Josephine E. Gilpin, Mrs. Eliza
beth B. Bates, Mrs. Preston Lea, Miss
Emily P. Bissell. Mrs. Willard Sauls-
bury, Mrs George w. Marshall, Mrs.
Thomas F. Bayard. Mrs. John Shell
drake, Mrs. George A. Elliott, Mrs. C.
C. Fulton, Mrs. George F. Bissell, Mrs.
Robert J. Ferguson, Mrs. Robert H.
VanDyke, Mrs. Gait Smith, Miss Amy
E. DUPONT, Mrs. F. W. Curtis, Miss
Jennie M Weaver and Mrs. Daniel
Short.
The organization of anti-suffragists
is differed as follows: Chairman, Mrs.
Henry B. Thompson, of Greenville;
Vice-chairman, Mrs Preston Lea, Mrs.
Willard Salisbury, Mrs. James Penne-
will, Dover; Mrs. George W. Marshall,
Milford; Mrs. Daniel Short, Laurel;
Mrs. Thomas F. Bayard, Mrs. George
R. Hoffecker, Mrs. Ferdinand L. Gil
pin and Mrs. James Avery Draper;
recording secretary, Mrs. David J.
Reinhardt; corresponding secretary,
Miss Emily P. Bissell; treasurer, Mrs.
Emily P DUPONT, Jr.
Their declaration of principles, as
set forth in petitions for, signatures
that are in circulation, is short and to
the point, as the following will show:
1--WE believe that the further extern
sion of the suffrage to all the women of
the State of Delaware is not desired by
the majority of them.
1--WE believe that it would involve
greater expense at elections with no
corresponding benefit either to women
or the State.
"We believe that the interests of
the family and the home are menaced
by any further political activities.
Gas women of Delaware of full vot-
ing age, and therefore affected by the
change, we subscribe our
names as being satisfied with the pres
ent non-partisan status of women in
our State government. "
1t is clear, therefore, that there soon
will be in progress in our State spirit
I'd fight in which mere man will play
only an inconspicuous part. 1t will be
against woman. The result
should be the illumination of all sides
If the suffrage question. The struggle
cannot fail to be an interesting one.

The Truth About Smoking

Boys who are going to a great deal
of trouble in order to become skillful
chewers and smokers of tobacco, says
Walt Mason, should do something use
full. One who knows assures them that
the game is not worth the candle. One
who knows has been using tobacco for
thirty odd years and now that he is
waxing old, and It is hard to cut loose
from ancient habits he has to do it.
The doc scared him and he swore off.
1t means weeks of misery and vain
longings and travail of spirit. There
is nobody so wretched, so cranky, so
forsaken, as a tobacco fan who is trying
to get along without his favorite pipe.
Boys who are learning to smoke should
remember that it is effort wasted.
Some day the doc will look at them
crosseyed and tell them they'll begin to
wish they had learned the millinery
trade instead of learning to smoke.

Scouts Say Veteran
Is Promising Youth

CHICAGO, Oct. ga story
~ from Kansas City discloses
that Hugh Ellis, who played with
the Americas team of the Georgia
State League the past season was
none other than the veteran Hugh
Hill, years ago in the Southern
League and the American Associa-
ton. The joke of It Is that half a
dozen scouts looked Hill over and
announced him as n youngster ripe
for advancement, and that on their
word for 1t drafts were put in for
him. Hill had a non-reserve con-
tract and does not expect to grad
uate" next season.
