the establishment of an agricul-
tural experiment station. The bill
appropriates this sum to the col
leges already established under the
land grant of 1862, but there has
been a great deal of internal dis
sension and ghting about the dis
pension of the money. Governor
Biggs was vindicated of the charge
of hostility to Delaware College.
The resignation of Professors Wolf,
Harter and Chester, were indefin-
itely postponed, which is consider
ed as good in intent as reelection.
DIR. Bush, Of the Trustees, was
elected nominal President in the
place of DR.. Caldwell until June,

REV. w. B. GORDON GETS
YEARS LEAVE OF ABSENCE

LEAN > LEA " T. 0f AbOfINSE
Last Spring, Rev. William B.
Gordon, rector of st. Peters P. E.
Church, this town, asked leave for
a year of the duties of Rector, hav-
ing been selected by Bishop Lee
before his death and confirmed by
the Board of Bishops, to visit Mex
leo and spend a year as Superin-
tendent in looking after a number
of churches there who wanted to
be connected with the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the United
State. The vestry acceded to the
request reluctantly, and Rev. E. G.
Mock was chosen to fill the interim.
Col. George w Cummins, the Sen
ior Warden, received recently from
Mexico, a letter rendering Rev. Mr..
Gordon's resignation as rector,
which was read before the close of
the service on Sunday morning
last. 1t was full of christian sym
pathy and good feeling, reviewing
the fraternal relation that has ex-
listed between them as pastor and
people, and expressing his regret
at the severence of their relations.
1t is understood that the Mission
ary Board of the church, located in
New York, has been 50 well pleas
ed with his work and prospect for
usefulness in Mexico, that they
have appropriated the sum Of
S25OO to continue him there in de-
veloping the mission and instruct
ing those asking for guidance into
a larger light and liberty. Under
the circumstances, the resignation
will be of course accepted. Rev
Mr.. Mock whose time does not ex-
pire until the first of June, has, we
learn, been filling the place very
acceptably.

DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER
NEAR CHESWOLD

John Jacob Sem, perhaps the
Oldest man in Kent county, died
yesterday at his home near Ches-
wold. His age is not the only re-
markable incident in his life. He
was born in Saurbuck, Prussia, but
which had been in the possession
of France for some time, Septem-
Der 25, 1892, making him thus in
the 96th year of his age. He was
one of Napoleon's soldiers in the
famous march to Moscow, and one
of the few that got back alive.

Mary felt a shudder ripple over
her at this stark statement of the
brutal male code that governed this
land. We'll, L don't blame you

she added sternly, "But I'm runnin'

you got your gun out now for?

Rance didn't answer her but his
look of alteration plunged deep into
her eyes. A bit confused, Mary
turned and began to make a tour
of the room.
AS she stopped at the roulette
wheel, Minstrel Joe looked up.
How about giving us a spin for
luck, Girl? Make seventeen come
up and I'll have something to sing
about. I'm going to let the tail

Mary watched intently as the
wheel started and something
hummed in her blood, hummed
faster and faster as the circle OF
chance spun around. For despite
her apparent aloofneSs, the excite
ment of the place thrilled her, whet-
ting the edge of her appetite for
living.
The wheel stopped with Joe a
loser. Mary smiled sympathetically.

Mary looked up at him as ne
leaned over the bar. His voice mao
been heavy with poisonous venom
and for a second she thought heet,
ingly OF this bandit who was called
Ramerrez. In sense the man was
a legend to her. There were many
stories about him, how he sprang
out of nowhere, disappeared INTO
nowhere, was fabulously polite 70

his men victims, yet no one had
ever seen his face. Sometimes she
wondered If he really existed. But
as she saw the fierce hatred IN

of the man. she felt n queer pity
for the outlaw. It would be better
for him TO remain a legend thah
to meet as ruthless an enemy as

DIR. MOORE'S DEATH A FALSE
REPORT

1T does not fall to the lot OF
many men to know the consterna-
tion that their sudden death would
cause in the community, because
the opportunity does not offer to
one in many thousands as it did
last week to DR.. Thomas c. Moore.
What must have been intended as
a joke, for there could have been
no other object, had in it all the
elements of a most afflictive dis
pension. The doctor and two or
three young men went to Philadel-
phia Wednesday on the 3.56 train.
Thursday morning at eleven
o'clock a telegram was forwarded
to Alex. H. Wilson from Philadel-
phia, that DR.. Moore had died the
previous evening, and that letter
would follow. The name signed to
it was that of E. Thomas Clayton,
one of the persons who went with
him, thus giving it plausibility, for
in the distress created in the minds
Of his many friends, the possibility
of joking with SO cruel a subject
as death could hardly be entertain
ed, of course it passed rapidly from
lip to lip and from house to house
and was conveyed to his father
and mother near Cheswold, with
what result need not be pictured.
kilograms were sent to Philadel-
phia but without answer, and it
was not until DR.. Moore and his
party all oblivious to what was
going on at home, stepped off the
cars at eight o'clock, it was learn
ed that DR.. Moore was still alive,
in his usual health, and over
whelmed with the congratulations
of his friends. The good news
spread more rapidly if possible
than the bad, and a heavy load
was speedily taken from the com
munity, and especially his patrons
and relatives. Indignation of
course run high toward the parties
or party who could be so wicked
as to send such a dispatch, and the
next day Messrs. Clayton and Nc
Coy returned to Philadelphia to
find out if possible who was the
perpetrator. The dispatch was for
warded from the Continental Hotel
but they could not identify the
hand, and the description of the

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Meat and Man: Ed Hart took
the bathroom scales to beefsteak
dinner given by the Mems club Of
Grace Baptist church, up in the
Bronx. Before sitting down to the
table, each of the eighteen present
stepped on the scales and Mr..
Hart, an accountant, made a note Of
his weight. When the dinner was
ended, each man was weighed
again. A little arithmetic showed
that the average gain was three
pounds. The greatest weight put
on was five pounds and the least,
two pounds. The dinner was cooked
by one of the women of the church
and the eighteen diners consumed
$14 worth of beefsteak and other
food. That figures out a net cost
of about cents for each pound
of gain. Incidentally, Mr.. Hart built
along the lines of a match and the
thinnest man in the group made
next to the largest gain, his total
having been four pounds, or s1.04
worth.
