Gun clubs are Just awakening TO
the fact that grounds that have been
shot over number of years are YER
table lead mines. One western club
has recently taken out more than p
tons of shot and believes that as much
more remains to be mined With lead
at $40 a ton the returns are well worth
the labor involved. 1t is now quite
nossibIe that some clever American
business men may buy up the Euro
mean battieheids after the war for the
old lead and steel buried in the soil.

Attractions at the Theatres

The letter went on to tell how the
writer, the keeper of a theatrical
boarding house, was breaking up to
retire to the country. In her house
some years ago had lodged a young
girl who was studying for the stage
and earning her own living besides.
Margaret Anglin had been her ideal
and the model that she tried to emu
late and she had made with loving
care these crude books Of every
printed scrap she could find about the
actress.
Whether this struggling young as
pirant for fame has become a sue
cessful actress no one knows. She
never came back for the trunkful
Of odds and ends that she had left
with the landlady. when the first long
sought engagement had taken her
suddenly from town.
OF course some one of Miss Anglin's
staff Immediately went after the books
and they now have an honored place in
her business office. The books were ar.
ranged with scrupulous care and the
clippings numbered and dated on the
now yellowing pages.
Who is on was the girl who had cared
10 make these collectionsi is she her
self now star, or has she joined the
ranks OF those who never arriyeY No

eARRIcK THEATRE.

Claude Ranf, who is filling an engage
ment at the Garrick Theatre this week,
is one of the cleverest Of all the wire
artists who have ever appeared on a
st"~" IN Delaware.
There are many kinds of perform
ances on the wire, but II appears to
have remained for Ranf to invent
and execute some of the novelties I'm
that line, but were 1t not for the fact
that he appears to be a man of ex-
traordnary ability, II is doubtful
whether even he would make sue
cess Of many of the stunts he goes
through, but he not only has the
courage of his conviction that he can
do about anything that is worth doing
on the wire, but he also has the nerve
TO tackle it and he gets away with il
all with the same self-cOnfidence that
possesses the average individual in
walking oh the street. He is consid-
cred a wonder on tie wire and is
causing the Garrick patrons to mar
vel at his skill.

OPPOSITION TO THE
Court MERCER BILL
Mayor Howell Is Among
Those Who Would Save
Juvenile Tribunal
WILL APPEAL
TO LEGISLATURE

IL was learned yesterday that a
delegation of 200 or more citizens who
oppose the merging of the Munich
pal and Juvenile Courts, will go TO
Dover tomorrow morning TO protest
to the Legislature against the passage
of such a bill. Members Of the Legis-
-lature have already received about
fifty kilograms from local residents
opposing the proposed change.
Among those who are opposed TO
the combination of the two courts
are Mayor Howell, President of City
Council william p. White, City Coun-
Gilman George p. Grantland, Attor-
ney General Josiah o. Wolcott, United
States District Attorney John p
Nields and Daniel o. Hastings, city
solicitor. The latter has promised that
IL IL is possible to leave his office he
will accompany the delegation and
speak in behalf of the separate court.
other lawyers who have spoken
against the combination are William
T.. Kurtz, Howell S. England, Caleb
q. Burchenal, Horace Greeley East
burn.
Resolutions against the combina-
tion have been passed by the Central
Labor Union, Alpha Lodge, No. 20,
Knights of Pythias. and others. The
Rev. Thomas r. Holloway, pastor OF
the Second Baptist Church, who Is
very closely in touch with the work
being done by the court, wrote long
letter of protest. Those who do not
believe the two courts should be con-
solidated base their. belief on the fact
that it has been shown by experience
in other cities where they have been
combined that the results have not
been nearly so successful as they are
in a separate court.
