disband. Eleven other remaining com

for six months. At that time if they

Concert By The Dela-
ware College Orchestra

Without doubt the most notable
musical event of the season will be
the concert to be given on April 9
by the Delaware College Orchestra
in the College Oratory. The college
boys will play on this occasion, Bel
lini's Overture to Norma" and
Joseph Haydn's beautiful Second
Symphony. There will also be
numbers by vocalist whose name
will be announced later. The Or
chestra has improved greatly this
year in all its departments. The
brass section is considerably better
than it was last year, and the in
creased number Of strings lends a
general tone to the playing which
it lacked before. 1t is decidedly
adventurous undertaking for col
lege orchestra to give a symphony +;
but if rehearsals are any criterion,
Hadyn's famous composition will
receive adequate treatment in the
hands of the young musicians. The
concert will be followed by an in
formal dance in the gymnasium.

the White Minquas. The former
were thus named because they wore !
a black badge on their breast, and |
not because they were otherwise diff
ferent in appearance from the other
Indians. Augustine Herman, a |
dweller near the Elk River, in
Maryland, as early as 1860, and an
excellent authority, in 1910, calls
the Ohio or it's northern branch the
"Black Minquas River" thus i'm
plying that this was their regular
habitat. He also tells us the Black
Minquas frequently traded along
the Delaware, by a water route
which led, according to his descrip-
ton, from the Conemaugh River,
by the short portage route over the
Allegheny Mountains to the Ju-
niata River, and thence down the
SuSiueldHHd- lie CWeueS dlSO
made visits from the settlements on
the Delaware even to the remote
settlements Of the Black Minquas. S."
Lindenstrom, in his journal Of 1854
writes, "The Swedes had no trade
or intercourse with any Indians
farther in the interior than with
the black and white Minquesses,
who don't know the limit of their
country, although their nation or
tribe has occupied the country such
a length Of time.
The White Minquas occupied the
lower Susquehanna Valley, and the
head Of Chesapeake Bay. Their
important fort during the Swedish
and Dutch regime on the Delaware
was on the west side of the Susque-
hanna river, near the present
Mount Wolf, York county, Pa, at
the south side Of the Conewago
Greek, just below the stoppage OF
navigation by the Great Falls

Nathaniel Mitchell

Nathaniel Mitchell, one of the
early Governors Of Delaware, was
born in Sussex county in 1853. His
home was near Laurel. The fol-
lowing sketch is taken from the
pamphlet Delaware Governors,
published at Dover in 1898. The
sketch was written by Charles w.
Whitley, Jr., of Sussex county, Del
aware.
''In 1904, the people of Delaware
selected for their Governor an
other hero of the war. We find but
meagre details Of his revolution
ary career-men of action are care
less of their fame but we catch
hasty glimpses of him, here and
Observation-Disclosures that reveal the
man. We see him at the head of
his company in the thickest Of the
fight at Brandywine. We see him
fretting his brave heart out as,
prostrated by camp fever, he hears
the news from Germantown. We
find him under the hot fire at Mon
mouth; and we watch him, this
grim soldier, bending to listen to
the tale of the poor woman, wild
owed by the war, despoiled Of her
household goods, of little worth,
\ perhaps, but they were all she had.
We follow him and his little scout
ing party as they dash after the
/ plunderers, overtake and disarm
them, and gladden. the humble
home of the widow and the father
less by the restoration of their lit
tie property.
A simple story, this, of a strong
man s gentle heart. Governor
Mitchell became Adjutant of Col
onel Dagworthy's battalion of mil
itia; afterwards he was with Colo
mel Patterson s battalion of the
Flying Camp, later with Colonel
Grayson s additional Continental
Regiment. In April, 1779, he was
transferred to Colonel Trist s Reg
iment and was subsequently Bri-
gade Major and Inspector to Gen.
Peter Muhlenburg. He was del
egate to the Continental Congress,
1856 'SS. He died February q,
1914, and was buried in the Gene
terry Of the old Brick Church near
Laurel.

trusted too far, conclusion the
truth of which was borne out by
later events.
These Indians were called by Eu-
ropeans in general, "Delawares,"
but within a circle of eighteen miles
around the Swedes, who came in
1888, there were ten or eleven sep
arate tribes, each having its own
sackhen,a, or king. Among these
were especially the Minquesses,
upon the so-called Maniquas. or
Minqua's Kill (Christina) with
whom the Swedes formed a special
friendship. These extended for
about IL Swedish or 78 English
miles into the interior of the coun-
try, on to the Conestoga, and the
{Susquehanna, where they had a fort
which was square, surrounded by
palisades. Some Of these Indians
were with the Swedes every day,
who also made a journey up into
the country among the Mlnquesses
with their wares for SALE
(The spelling of the word min.
quas" varies. For the sake Of con.
venience the writer will adhere tC
one way.)
The Minquas Indians, although
apparently the most powerful CT
the locality, were not the regular
inhabitants Of the Delaware River
or Christiana Greek, bat merely tray
elled at frequent intervals from
their regular hunting grounds fo1
war or trade. They were by race
and language of the Iroquoiar
stock, and from time to time helt

er Indians in subjection. Their

Mr.. Farr explained that he wished to
ascertain whether there was any dan
ger of food shortage in the United
States because OF the enormous In
crease in expectation since the out
break of the European war.
Smaller loaves of bread or an IN
crease in the price is one likely result
of the rise in wheat, in the opinion
of Charles J. Rrand, chief Of the fed
eral bureau OF markets. Moreover,
Mr.. Brand believes the American
farmer will not be flrst-hand bene-
ficiary of the soaring prices. With
good prices and good market. which
have prevailed for the last few
months, Mr.. Brand believes a major
portion of the 1914 wheat crop has
passed to elevator men and dealers.
