There was little about the demure,
charming woman that suggested the
fifty years to which she lays claim.
She was dressed daintily in pink and
white and her eyes were bright as
girls; a chestnut curl, family tinged
with gray, peeped over her shoulder
just under her left ear. There was
something very contagious in Mrs.
Stephens hearty laugh when l asked
her if she would tell me what kind of
proposals she had received.
"Oh, no, can't do that" she replied.
That would never do. Some of the
letters, of course, are jokes, but for
the most part they are manly, honest
and evidently sincere. The chief trou-

rec were the pitching selections, and the
after was pounded hard by the All-Stars,
but tightened up with men on the bases;
Nine hundred people saw the game, and
everybody, including "Buck" Herzog,
who was in the stands, enjoyed 1t. The
fans who saw the Athletics play the All
Stars last season at Milford figured that
this would be a repetition, but the game
on Monday was far from that and ter
minated into a big league exhibition.
The bows went to work right at the very
start. and never let up until the last man
was out. Monte Cross, who played with
Milford in 1S88-89, pulled off wonderful
stop and Bancroft started one of the
fastest double plays ever witnessed on
any diamond. Both pitchers worked hard
all the way. No loafing was tolerated,
the game being played in the fast time
offftv-two minutes. The score follows !:

ECHOES FROM GRANGE BAZAAR

We had fine weather for the two days
of our bazaar and very good attend
ance. The room was beautifully deco
rated with autumn leaves and the booths
with ivy and each presided over by in
teresting women.
The dining room was Hallowe en-
bower, very attractive to the eye and
adding much to the palativeness OF the
good things served from our kitchen.
We think great credit is due the two
sisters. Mrs. Watson and Miss Baldwin,
who at the last moment took the poultry
exhibit in hand and made such success
of it. There were very fine specimens
of chickens and ducks. The white rats,
Guinea pigs, pigeons and rabbits amused
the Younger folks, whom we generally
have with US.
The vegetable exhibit did not come up
to that Of previous years, and we can,
not but wonder why. Surely as good
were grown this year as in the years
gone by. Excellent exhibits OF sweet
potatoes with wheat, corn, tomatoes
some extra fine pumpkins, 6eets, CAP
bage, onions, peppers, manel wurtzeis'
rye and gourds were shown.
A very few nuts, figs grown in Della
ware. and as usual an extremely tasty
showing of the many varieties of apples
which are grown successfully on TINS
part of the Peninsula. ,.
The Delaware Nurseries and Milford
Hardware Company sent exhibits when
thew later donated, and the Bazaar Com
mittee thank them, and other merchants
of our town who helped, each in his par
ticuIar way. The gross receipts were

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
OPENS NEXT TUESDAY

The annual session of the Teachers
Institute will be held in Milford, and
on Tuesday next the teachers of both
Kent and Sussex Counties will come
to Milford to hold their annual ses-
sions for four days; opening on Tues
day morning in ArmOry Hall and the
New Century Club rooms. The even
ing entertainments, as well as the lee
lures during the day sessions, will be
particularly interesting and instruc-
tive.
The tickets for the three evening
entertainments will be placed on sale
this afternoon, Friday. Every other
row will be reserved for the teachers
so that all the best seats will not be
taken from them by the public, for
the evening entertainments.
The talent for both the day and ev-
ening sessions is of a very high grade
and the people will do well to get
course tickets for the evenings in ad-
vance
The handsome Teachers Manual,
used by the Superintendents, contains
much of the important knowledge and
instruction necessary for the teachers
to follow in the work during the
school year. 1t was printed by the
Milford Chronicle Publishing Com
pany. and copy will be given to each
teacher for their information and
guidance, as well as the clerks of the
various school districts. 1t tells of
the requirements for teachers to Sc
cure certificates, their readings, the
dates for local institutes, when exam
nations will be held and where. The
requirements for pupils to go from
rural schools to the Incorporated
schools, at State expense, and many
other things of value for parents to
know.
1t is up to the people themselves
as to the real value of a teachers In
stitute to them individually and the
community in general.
