[image] THE FIRM OF
V.T. HILLS & CO.
Is one of the best known and oldest in Delaware. This business was established in 1855
by Reuben E. Hills and
his oldest son. The present partnership was formed in 1886, and is composed of
three sons of Reuben E. Hills, who
have been engaged in the
Wholesale Grocery
business practically all their lives. Selling goods exclusively to dealers,
they enjoy a large share of the grocery
trade of their own city. A visit to their crowded store room will convince
one that the Delaware grocers do not
need to send many orders to outside markets. The upper floors of their building
are occupied with Baskets,
Woodenware and hundreds of articles making up the list of grocers goods,
including a large line of Teas. Among
good judges this house has had for years a reputation for the quality and
selection of their Teas. One of the
largest stocks of writing tablets in Ohio may also be found in their store.
CANNED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Form a very important feature in the grocery trade this year, and they report a
large trade in California Canned goods, in which early purchases proved a
good investment. That this firm is a strong supporter of Delaware industries
is proved by finding on their shelves more than -- brands of Delaware
made cigars, for all of which they report a good demand. An unusual but
valuable arrangement in their store is the cold storage room, in which Dried
Fruit and other commodities by the car load may be kept fresh and sound
through the hottest summer.
The accompanying illustration is intended to show one of the most im-
portant features of their business, which is their principal warehouse,
located on the Big Four Railroad. Four cars of merchandise can be
handled here at one time. Here they receive a large part of their
entire purchases, and from here the heavy goods are distributed to the different
railways for out of town orders, as the shipping facilities of our city enable
them to send groceries to all the markets in the adjoining parts of Ohio. An-
other building on the Big Four track is devoted to the storage of Stoneware,
of which a full assortment is always kept in stock. There are two points
especially upon which this house has built its reputation, First, by prompt
shipment of their orders; Second, in sending their customers the goods they
buy, and not something else. Retail grocers appreciate these two points.

AN OLD LANDMARK
NO SOUVENIR or history of Delaware would be complete without special reference to the
"unique" business building which for more than 80 years has stood on the South-west
corner of Sandusky and Winter streets, and for all of that time has been one of the
leading mercantile rooms of the city. This building is indeed a landmark, and were it to
be replaced by a modern structure, the older residents would hardly know the town when
they struck the corner of Sandusky and Winter streets. Although the outside of this building has
remained almost unchanged for all or these years, the same is not true of the inside. It has been
remodeled and improved from time to time by successive occupants, and at the present time is one
of the most complete and MODERN CLOTHING STORES to be found anywhere in the country.

DELAWARE GAZETTE--BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. 3
DELAWARE
In the year 1808 the town of Dela-
ware was laid out by Col. Moses Byx-
be and Hon. Henry Baldwin. These
pioneers of our beautiful city showed
excellent judgment and taste in choos-
ing the site for their town, and their
selection could hardly have been im-
proved upon. The gently rolling lands
bordering upon the Olentangy River
proved ideal spots for the homes that
soon dotted these hill tops and valleys,
and nature provided them with most
admirable drainage, conducive to the
health and happiness of the sturdy set-
tlers.
In 1816 Delaware was incorporated
into a village. While the town never
experienced any mushroom boom, its
growth was steady until in the year
1850 it could boast of some twenty-five
hundred of as worthy and intelligent
inhabitants as could be found any-
where. In the next forty years its
growth was more rapid, and the Fed-
eral Census of 1890 showed that it had
[image: RESIDENCE OF MR. F.P. HILLS.]
grown to a flourishing and enterpris-
ing city of over 8,200 population. Per-
haps its growth since that time has
not been so rapid as it was in the pre-
vious decade, but Delaware has grown,
and also made great progress in ac-
quiring modern conveniences and ad-
vantages which go toward rendering it
the very desirable place of residence
that it undeniably is. There is not
much doubt but that the census of 1900
will show a population of fully 10,-
000, and with the impetus that should
be given by our new Board of Trade
to the development of its natural and
other advantages, the census of 1910
ought to show a population of 15,000
or more.
The aim of this Board of Trade edi-
tion of the Gazette is to publish to the
world the many advantages awaiting
to be developed that we believe our
beautiful city is possessed of, and to
present the great inducements it offers
for newcomers to settle within its bor-
ders. This we want to do in a plain,
straightforward manner, and desire to
avoid all extravagance in statement or
description.
AS A PLACE OF RESIDENCE.
What can Delaware offer in the way
of a place to reside to thos seeking
new homes?
NATURAL DRAINAGE.
The consideration of healthfulness
[image: RESIDENCE OF MR. L.L. HUDSON]
of location is perhaps the greatest fac-
tor in deciding the choice of residence.
Owning to the rolling character of the
ground on which Delaware is built,
with its numerous small hills and val-
leys, very fine natural drainage is giv-
en our building lots, which adds much
to the healthfulness and convenience
of the inhabitants. Speaking on this
subject, one of our most skillful and
observing physicians remarked that
there is hardly a square rod of ground
in Delaware but that is susceptible of
perfect natural drainage. Delaware
being one of the highest places in the
state, 378 feet about Lake Erie, and
943 feet above the sea level, its altitude
renders its climate most delightful and
healthy.
PURE WATER.
Our town is provided with splendid
water works and system, by which the
inhabitants are furnished pure water
of superior quality in unlimited quan-
tities. A more extended description of
the works and the water will be found
in another place. In addition to this
water, a large number of celebrated
MINERAL SPRINGS
are continually gushing forth waters
of great and varied medicinal virtues,
which waters are freely given for
drinking purposes to all comers. (An
exhaustive description of these springs
and a report of their medicinal qual-
ties, is prepared by an eminent physi-
cian especially for this issue).
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES
are perhaps the most important con-
sideration. No place in Ohio is pro-
vided with better common schools has
Delaware. Under Professor Stokes and
his able corps of assistants and teach-
ers, our schools have reached a high
degree of perfection. Our High School
has gained an enviable repuation
rarely attained by schools of its class
For older students, our peerless O.W.
University offers unexcelled advan-
tages and facilities. Full descriptions
of the Schools and University will be
found in the proper place.
CHURCH PRIVILEGES.
Our Church privileges are unexcell-
ed in a town of this size. We have
eight Methodist Churches, one Pres-
byterian, one Episcopal, two Lutheran,
two Baptists, one German Reformed,
and one Catholic. Their pulpits are
ably filled with eloquent, earnest and
devout ministers.
ENTERPRISING MERCHANTS.
Delaware is well supplied with mer-
chants, grocers, butchers, bakers, mar-
ket gardeners, etc., who can supply
our citizens with all material wants,
And their stocks will be found com-
plete and up to date, while Delaware
prices will be found to be as reasona-
ble as any.
Delaware citizens pride them selves
upon their intelligence and sociability,
and social life in our city is most
charming.
ENTERTAINMENTS.
A very high class of musical and
literary entertainments are attracted
here on account of the University,
which all citizens are privileged to at-
tend at a very reasonable cost. Our
splendid Opera House also attracts
numerous theatrical and miscellaneous
entertainments.
FOR COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS.
Delaware furnishes an ideal home
for the Comemrcial Traveler. Its
central location renders it a conve-
nient starting point for his various
trips, the thirty passenger trains
which leave Delaware every twenty-
four hours furnishing abundant facili-
ties for rapidly reaching all desired
points. His family can live cheaper
in Delaware and enjoy more comforts
than in a large city, and while he is
necessarily away from home so much
of his time, the Delaware traveler and
feel assured that his family are safer
in his absence than they would be in
a larger place.
In connection with the water system,
a splendid and efficient
FIRE DEPARTMENT,
Under Chief Heller, almost eliminates
the danger of losses from fire. Proba-
bly no town in the state the size of
Delaware, has suffered so little loss
from fire. The great number of hous-
es built of brick, also lessens the lia-
bility of loss from fire.
After Health,
An excellent
[image: RESIDENCE OF HON. J. D. VANDEMAN.]
ELECTRIC CAR LINE
Furnishes cheap and rapid transporta-
tion to all parts of the city. The city
is well lighted by gas and electricty.
TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Perhaps in no town in the state is
the telephone service so good as in
Delaware. Splendid equipments have
been put in by the Central Union and
Citizens' Companies, and any house-
holder can have direct connection, not
only with the seven hundred local
users of the 'phones, but also with all
parts of the cuntry, at extremely rea-
sonable rates.
Delaware is a
BEAUTIFUL PLACE
to live. There is no more beautiful
town in Ohio. Her lovely homes
pleasantly located on her luxuriantly
shaded streets, are unsurpassed for
comfort and convenience. Rents are
cheap. Houses and lots can be
bought cheaply here. Delaware is a
home city. It is estimated that 85 per
cent of her inhabitants own their own
homes.
BEAUTIFUL DRIVES.
To those who own a horse, and de-
light in driving, Delaware will prove
an ideal place of residence. Its well
kept and splendidly shaded streets of-
fer fine opportunities for short drives,
while there are a large number of
beautiful drives along the good roads
raching out from the otwn. The
drive down along the Olentangy Riv-
er for ten miles is one that [illegible]
match for beauty of scenery and pleas-
ure.
DELAWARE
AS A PLACE TO DO BUSI-
NESS IN.
Delaware is the county seat of Del-
ware county, which has a population
of 30,000. Its soil is very fertile and
well adapted to all kinds of agricul-
tural operations. It is farmed by as
intelligent and enterprising lot of
farmers as can be found anywhere.
The raising of
FINE STOCK
is a great specialty with Delaware
county farmers, and some of the finiest
horses, cattle, sheep and swine in the
country are bred by them, and many
splendid animals have been sent from
here all over the country, and their
superior qualities have made Dela-
[image: AT LITTLE'S WHITE SUPLHUR SPRINGS]
ware county famous. Splendid crops
of grain and hay are practically a cer-
tainty in this county. Our farmers are
prosperous, and most of them do all
their trading in Delaware. The in-
habitants of the city mostly own their
own homes they are generally well-to-
do, and make excellent customers.
They furnish our merchants a large
share of the patronage enjoyed by
them.
O. W. UNIVERSITY.
The Ohio Wesleyan University at-
tracts a thousand or more young men
and women to Delaware, who are resi-
dents of the city for ten months of
the year. This body of bright young
people add greatly to the business of
Delaware, and they leave quite a large
sum of money annually with our mer-
chants and business men. The nearly
fifty members of the faculty, many of
whom have families, are permanent
residents, and make most desirable
customers. The University attracts
also many families, who come to Dela-
ware to give their children the advan-
tage of our superiior educational facil-
ities. They make good citizens, and
necessarily spend much money here.
MECHANICS.
The hands employed by the Big
Four shops, the Chair Co., the Clay
Works, Hard Wood Working Estab-
lishments, the Cigar Factories, The
Electric Light Works, the Gas Co., the
Electric Car Line, the Water Works,
and many small manufactories, receive
good wages, and are free buyers of the
necessities and luxuries of life, and
are just the kind of citizens that the
Board of Trade wants to induce many
more of to come to Delaware.
SHIPPING FACILITIES, ETC.
The three important railways passing
through Delaware, afford its mer-
chants and business men excellent
shipping facilities. The American and
Wells-Fargo Express Companies have
well managed offices here. Our two
telephone companies furnish excellent
service, and prove a great convenience
to both merchants and customers.
BANKING FACILITIES.
Delaware has four first-class
Banks, with ample capital to
afford all the accommodations
required by the merchants and
business men of the town. These
banks are all solid financial institu-
tions, conducted by men of high char-
acter and undoubted integrity. They
are the First National Bank of Dela-
ware, The Delaware County National
Bank, The Delaware Savings Bank,
and the Deposit Banking Co.
A MUNIFICENT DONATIONS.
MASONIC HALL ERECTED BY MR. SIDNEY MOORE
[image]
To the generosity of Mr. and Mrs.
Sidney Moore, Delaware is indebted
for a handsome and substantial public
improvement, which will always stand
a credit to the city and a monument
to its gracious donors. Early in the
present year the gratifying announce-
ment was made that Mr. Moore had
purchased the beautiful and conven-
ient lot on the southwest corner of
William and Franklin street, and
would erect upon it a handsome build-
ing to be used as a Masonic Hall,
and that suitable rooms would be pro-
vided in it for the Public Library, and
for the Ladies' Christian Union.
This generosity and thoughtfulness
was greatly appreciated by the mem-
bers of Hiram Lodge, and the other
Masonic orders of which Mr. Moore is
one of the Oldest members, and also by
the public spirited ladies who were en-
deavoring to establish a Library, and
the members of the Christian Union.
As for the citizens of Delaware, they
were all delighted and gratified at the
munificence of the gift, and proud to
be fellow citizens of Sidney Moore.
The building was soon gotten under
way, and on June 23d last, the corner
stone was laid with the beautiful and
impressive masonic ceremonies, con-
ducted by M. w. Grand Master E.C.
Guilford, of Cleveland. A large num-
ber of prominent Masons from all
over the state participated in the cere-
monies, and lodges from Marion, Co-
lumbus, Springfield, Circleville, Ken-
teon and other places, attended in a
body. A large number of visitors
were attracted to Delaware and the
city itself was gaily decked with flags
and bunting in honor of the occasion,
and the day was made a holiday, long
to be remembered. One of the princi-
pal features of the day was the im-
posing parade led by the Marion
Knights Templar, followed by Hiram

Lodge, and various visiting Masonic
bodies. Several fine bands furnished
excellent music.
The building is now being rapidly
finished inside by the contractors,
Messrs. Heller & mcDonald, and the
Hall will be dedicated about Feb. 1st.
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
The Public Library and Reading
Room, which by the great kindness of
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Moore, is to oc-
cupy the large east room in the new
Masonic building, is the outgrowth of
a Woman's Book Club of several
years' standing. In the fall of ninety-
seven, they took their years' books,
begged others, with a small member-
ship fee bought more, and opened a
Circulating Library of less than a
hundred volumes. When the generous
proffer of quarters for a Public Libra-
ry and Reading Room came from Mr.
and Mrs. Moore, they offered their "be-
ginning" as a nucleus for the future
Public Library of Delaware, turning
over to the new Association over four
hundred books, and more than eighty
dollars in money, thus making it pos-
sible for the new Library Association
to accept the offer of a room, open the
Library free to the public, and apply
to the School Board -- under a law
passed two years ago -- for a tax for
Library purposes, and thus fulfill the
hope and desire of the little hand of
women who made the first venture.
A few months shoud see the new
room attractively furnished and equip-
ped as a Reading Room and Library,
and being profitable used and enjoyed
by the citizens, and especially by the
school children of Delaware.
E. M. HELLER.
The plans and specifications for this
building were drawn by the well
known architects of Delaware, E.M.
Heller & Son.

ELECTRIC CAR LINE
Furnishes cheap and rapid transporta-

TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Perhaps in no town in the state is
the telephone service so good as in
Delaware. Splendid equipments have
been put in by the Central Union and
Citizens' Companies, and any house-
holder can have direct connection, not
only with the seven hundred local
users of the 'phones, but also with all
parts of the cuntry, at extremely rea-
sonable rates.
Delaware is a
BEAUTIFUL PLACE
to live. There is no more beautiful
town in Ohio. Her lovely homes
pleasantly located on her luxuriantly
shaded streets, are unsurpassed for
comfort and convenience. Rents are
cheap. Houses and lots can be
bought cheaply here. Delaware is a
home city. It is estimated that 85 per
cent of her inhabitants own their own
homes.
BEAUTIFUL DRIVES.
To those who own a horse, and de-
light in driving, Delaware will prove
an ideal place of residence. Its well
kept and splendidly shaded streets of-
fer fine opportunities for short drives,
while there are a large number of
beautiful drives along the good roads
raching out from the otwn. The
drive down along the Olentangy Riv-
er for ten miles is one that [illegible]
match for beauty of scenery and pleas-
ure.
DELAWARE
AS A PLACE TO DO BUSI-
NESS IN.
Delaware is the county seat of Del-
ware county, which has a population
of 30,000. Its soil is very fertile and
well adapted to all kinds of agricul-
tural operations. It is farmed by as
intelligent and enterprising lot of
farmers as can be found anywhere.
The raising of
FINE STOCK
is a great specialty with Delaware
county farmers, and some of the finiest
horses, cattle, sheep and swine in the
country are bred by them, and many
splendid animals have been sent from
here all over the country, and their
superior qualities have made Dela-
[image: AT LITTLE'S WHITE SUPLHUR SPRINGS]
ware county famous. Splendid crops
of grain and hay are practically a cer-
tainty in this county. Our farmers are
prosperous, and most of them do all
their trading in Delaware. The in-
habitants of the city mostly own their
own homes they are generally well-to-
do, and make excellent customers.
They furnish our merchants a large
share of the patronage enjoyed by
them.
O. W. UNIVERSITY.
The Ohio Wesleyan University at-
tracts a thousand or more young men
and women to Delaware, who are resi-
dents of the city for ten months of
the year. This body of bright young
people add greatly to the business of
Delaware, and they leave quite a large
sum of money annually with our mer-
chants and business men. The nearly
fifty members of the faculty, many of
whom have families, are permanent
residents, and make most desirable
customers. The University attracts
also many families, who come to Dela-
ware to give their children the advan-
tage of our superiior educational facil-
ities. They make good citizens, and
necessarily spend much money here.
MECHANICS.
The hands employed by the Big
Four shops, the Chair Co., the Clay
Works, Hard Wood Working Estab-
lishments, the Cigar Factories, The
Electric Light Works, the Gas Co., the
Electric Car Line, the Water Works,
and many small manufactories, receive
good wages, and are free buyers of the
necessities and luxuries of life, and
are just the kind of citizens that the
Board of Trade wants to induce many
more of to come to Delaware.
SHIPPING FACILITIES, ETC.
The three important railways passing
through Delaware, afford its mer-
chants and business men excellent
shipping facilities. The American and
Wells-Fargo Express Companies have
well managed offices here. Our two
telephone companies furnish excellent
service, and prove a great convenience
to both merchants and customers.
BANKING FACILITIES.
Delaware has four first-class
Banks, with ample capital to
afford all the accommodations
required by the merchants and
business men of the town. These
banks are all solid financial institu-
tions, conducted by men of high char-
acter and undoubted integrity. They
are the First National Bank of Dela-
ware, The Delaware County National
Bank, The Delaware Savings Bank,
and the Deposit Banking Co.
A MUNIFICENT DONATIONS.
MASONIC HALL ERECTED BY MR. SIDNEY MOORE
[image]
To the generosity of Mr. and Mrs.
Sidney Moore, Delaware is indebted
for a handsome and substantial public
improvement, which will always stand
a credit to the city and a monument
to its gracious donors. Early in the
present year the gratifying announce-
ment was made that Mr. Moore had
purchased the beautiful and conven-
ient lot on the southwest corner of
William and Franklin street, and
would erect upon it a handsome build-
ing to be used as a Masonic Hall,
and that suitable rooms would be pro-
vided in it for the Public Library, and
for the Ladies' Christian Union.
This generosity and thoughtfulness
was greatly appreciated by the mem-
bers of Hiram Lodge, and the other
Masonic orders of which Mr. Moore is
one of the Oldest members, and also by
the public spirited ladies who were en-
deavoring to establish a Library, and
the members of the Christian Union.
As for the citizens of Delaware, they
were all delighted and gratified at the
munificence of the gift, and proud to
be fellow citizens of Sidney Moore.
The building was soon gotten under
way, and on June 23d last, the corner
stone was laid with the beautiful and
impressive masonic ceremonies, con-
ducted by M. w. Grand Master E.C.
Guilford, of Cleveland. A large num-
ber of prominent Masons from all
over the state participated in the cere-
monies, and lodges from Marion, Co-
lumbus, Springfield, Circleville, Ken-
teon and other places, attended in a
body. A large number of visitors
were attracted to Delaware and the
city itself was gaily decked with flags
and bunting in honor of the occasion,
and the day was made a holiday, long
to be remembered. One of the princi-
pal features of the day was the im-
posing parade led by the Marion
Knights Templar, followed by Hiram

Lodge, and various visiting Masonic
bodies. Several fine bands furnished
excellent music.
The building is now being rapidly
finished inside by the contractors,
Messrs. Heller & mcDonald, and the
Hall will be dedicated about Feb. 1st.
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
The Public Library and Reading
Room, which by the great kindness of
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Moore, is to oc-
cupy the large east room in the new
Masonic building, is the outgrowth of
a Woman's Book Club of several
years' standing. In the fall of ninety-
seven, they took their years' books,
begged others, with a small member-
ship fee bought more, and opened a
Circulating Library of less than a
hundred volumes. When the generous
proffer of quarters for a Public Libra-
ry and Reading Room came from Mr.
and Mrs. Moore, they offered their "be-
ginning" as a nucleus for the future
Public Library of Delaware, turning
over to the new Association over four
hundred books, and more than eighty
dollars in money, thus making it pos-
sible for the new Library Association
to accept the offer of a room, open the
Library free to the public, and apply
to the School Board -- under a law
passed two years ago -- for a tax for
Library purposes, and thus fulfill the
hope and desire of the little hand of
women who made the first venture.
A few months shoud see the new
room attractively furnished and equip-
ped as a Reading Room and Library,
and being profitable used and enjoyed
by the citizens, and especially by the
school children of Delaware.
E. M. HELLER.
The plans and specifications for this
building were drawn by the well
known architects of Delaware, E.M.
Heller & Son.

MOST VALUABLE
MINERAL SPRINGS.
DELAWARE CAN JUSTLY CLAIM TO BE THE
"SARATOGA OF THE WEST."
HER MANY SPRINGS POSSESS GREAT MEDICINAL VIRTUES -- ARE
ESPICIALLY RICH IN LIFE-GIVING GASSES.
Exhaustive Treatise, Prepared by Dr. S.W. Fowler.
Delaware possesses some of the most
valuable mineral springs in the world,
and each spring charged with medici-
nal and therapeutical properties which
have the most beneficial influence on
mankind, both in health and disease.
Many watering places and health re-
sorts enjoying the patronage of many
thousands of people, would be overjoy-
ed with water of such wonderful ther-
apeutic values as our own.
APPRECIATED BY ABORIGINES.
If these waters had been properly
developed, we would now be unable to
furnish accommodations, and if we go
to work, the hundreds, yea thousands,
of those who know of these waters
will be our strongest advocates; for
they stand ready to give testimony of
the beneficial results of these Chalybe-
ate and Sulphuretted waters. Long
before tradition taught our forefathers
about them, the wild animals could
have been seen here, drinking from
these springs, not only to quench their
thirst, but for the marvelous influence
upon their vitality. The Indian told
the white man how he found the buf-
falo, the deer, and the bears and cat-
tle congregated here; how the vari-
ous tribes came here to secure their
meats while the animals visited these
healthful waters, and then how the
different tribes finally pitched their
tents in the valleys and hills along
the Olentangy River and the Delaware
Run. They were wont to relate to the
white frontiersman the marvelous
benefits the old and the young derived
from the waters. They fully appreci-
ated that these mineral springs pos-
sessed something far better, more pure
and greater than the other waters in
the river and streams, as well as other
springs in other localities.
GREAT MEDICINAL QUALITIES.
The white pioneer soon learned also
that these springs [illegible]
which made them better than
other waters, and located near them
to enjoy their health-giving proper-
ties. He, too, saw with surprise, ani-
mals, both wild and domestic, seeking
these springs, and only stopped com-
ing to them when they were shut out
by the fences. For over half a centu-
ry, thousands of people annually fol-
lowed the same law and instinct, not
fully appreciating the medicinal pow-
er in these mineral waters, until some
years ago, when a few enterprising
and progressive citizens connected
with the University and city, believed
that these waters contained valuable
medicinal agents of great value to hu-
manity, and possessed by but few
mineral springs in the world. Acting
upon their belief, they had them anal-
yzed. The analysis proved that each
and every mineral spring possessed
medicinal qualitites of uncommon and
beneficial influence to mankind. This
wonderful revelation made by them
proved that the waters were not only
similar, but far superior to many oth-
ers whose fame had spread far and
near. These white and black and sa-
line sulphur and chalybeate springs in
this locality are far superior in every
respect to many in this and foreign
lands. The analysis has proved that
our sulphur springs are better and
stronger than those of Virginia, where
thousands visit annually. They are
better, and possess more valuable in-
gredients than those of Pennsylvania
or Colorado. The temperature of
springs, as well as the waters charged
with certain medicinal agents, render
them more or less valuable for thera-
peutical purposes. As a rule, spring
waters have a temperature of 33 de-
grees. When the temperature is high-
er than 36 degrees, they are known as
thermal springs. These are often of
more or less value independently of
the power of the water to dissolve
mineral substances and the gases they
contain. Yet when a spring is ther-
mal, and contains the important gas-
es, and holds in solution valuable
mineral agents, they become of far
greater importance to mankind.
Such are the springs in this locality.
Our suplhur springs have a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, and the chalybeate
springs 56 degrees, while the famous
Wildsbad Spring of Germany has a
temperature of 61 degrees; the Clifton,
of New York, 54 degrees; Carlsbad,
131 degrees; The Warmbrunn, Ger-
many, 68 degrees; the Hot Spring of
Arkansas, 90 degrees to 108 degrees;
and the Great Guyser of Iceland, 180
degrees.
COMPOSITION VARIES.
The composition of mineral waters
varies according to the strata through
which the water passes, as well as to
the pressure and previous composition
under which it is in contact with the
deposits. Waters vary in composi-
tion in the same locality, yet comes to
the surface in close proximity to each
other, as is witnessed in this locality.
We see the same condition at Sarato-
ga, New York. Coming by pressure to
the surface, these waters are found
[illegible] therapeutical values
one from the other, and yet each and ev-
ery one possessing rare and valuable
medicinal virtues. When we have
thoroughly drilled down into the great
mineral strata below us, and thus
carefully developed other springs, and
we may say, properly located them,
there will be no reason why they will
not be sought after for drinking and
bathing purposes, and the curing of
all forms of diseases equal to, if not
far more, than those in other localities
of less value.
RARE MINERAL COMBINATIONS.
The rare mineral combinations so
universally present in these mineral
springs, and with which we should
have been more deeply interested, are
not so different from those whose wat-
ers have cured many diseases, and giv-
en happiness to many individuals.
The oxygen, nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide, carbonate and bicarbonate of so-
dium; the sulphate and chloride of so-
dium; the carbonate and bicarbonate
of calcium; the different forms of iron
combined and re-combined by nature's
law, are of the highest therapeutical
value when properly used.
The classification of mineral waters
is exceedingly difficult, yet all are
based upon the predominence of some
certain constituents, or constituents
imparting to them certain medicinal
and therapeutical values to be used in
different diseases or in various ways.
The special or principal constituent
giving the peculair character to the
mineral waters, acting as a cathartic
or as a laxative, is the bicarbonate of
mangnesia and bicarbonate of soda,
and the chloride of sodium. The ton-
ic mineral waters contain bicarbonate
of iron or oxide of iron. The altera-
tive mineral waters contain iodide of
sodium and chloride of potassia and
sodium. The diuretic properties of
the mineral waters depend upon the
bicarbonate of lithia and protox-
ide of hydrogen. It will be well to re-
member this when studying and dis-
cussing the qualities and uses of our
mineral waters.
[image: FAMOUS WHITE SULPHUR SPRING ON THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS]
LIFE-GIVING GASES.
That the carbonic acid gas, sulphur-
etted hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
are the life-giving principles of all our
mineral springs, we can no longer
doubt. They contribute to the solu-
bility of the salts contained in the
waters, and render them more palata-
ble and more agreeable to the stom-
ach. The perfect solubility of these
salts enhances the great medicinal
power of the mineral waters, and
hence are more valuable for drinking
and bathing, and curing of diseases.
Once let the gases be driven off or es-
cape, and the water evaporated, and
we will find it will take more than ten
times the amount of rain water to re-
dissolve them. The absence of these
gases in the strongest iron springs of
Europe render them worthless, or
nearly so.
When comparing our springs with
many others, we find a much larger
amount of gases in them, thus mak-
ing them of the highest benefit in cur-
ing diseases and for every day use. It
seems useless for us to discuss these
gases further, but before leaving them,
we will say they seem to travel thrugh
some of the springs and escape, while
in the case of the springs in this lo-
cality, they are most thoroughly and
firmly impregnated with them.
LAXATIVE QUALITIES.
While many famous mineral springs
contain bicarbonate of magnesia,
which acts as a laxative and an antac-
id in some stomachs, our springs con-
tain not only the same, but added to
it is the sulphate of magnesia and
chloride of sodium, acting more mild-
ly and safely as a laxative and cathar-
tic as well as correcting the "sour
stomach," especially seen in those ad-
dicted to the use of alcohol, and those,
too, who overindulge in eating at un-
usual hours. By using these waters
the "heartburn" and sick headache
soon disappear. They start the torpid
liver, and arouse the intestinal inac-
tion. The medical profession well
know and highly appreciate the use of
the carbonate and bicarbonate of so-
dium, found so abundantly in our
springs, and can tewstify to their won-
derful and highly beneficial influence
as medicinal agents, especially in cor-
recting the morbid secretions of uric
acid.
BENEFICIAL IN RHEUMATISM.
As found in the waters of our
springs, the acids hold in solution al-
buminates, the phosphates, &c., ren-
dering them thus highly beneficial in
all forms of rheumatism. With little
labor, many valuable testimonials
could be furnished giving proof of re-
markable cures in this disease. When
used for bathing and drinking the ef-
fects have been far more rapid.
TONI WATERS.
The Chalybeate springs, known as
the Lenape or Hills' springs, furnish
one of the best tonic waters in the
country. The iron contained in the
waters, when taken into the body,
builds up the red corpuscles of the
blood, stimulates the appetite, and
enriches the whole body. That most
important agent so demanded by the
whole animal creation, chloride of so-
dium, or common salt, is abundantly
found in the chalybeate springs, and
in each and every one of our springs.
Every physician can testify how
this agent increases the solubility of
the albumen of the blood, and pre-
vents the rapid destruction of red
corpuscles.
It stimulates the secretion of gas-
tric juice, increases the flow of bile,
and the more rapid interchange of
fluids in the body, called, osmosis,
[illegible] of the kidneys; there are in-
creased secretion and excretion of
urine. We dare say, the remarkable
influence salt has on the body we can-
not estimate until we have used the
water so remarkable supplied with
them. The only method of proving
their action is by carefully watching
and recording the therapeutical effects
on the patient. The same is true of
all the waters. The effects have been
watched and recorded, and many are
ready to give testimony of astonish-
ing and bewildering results.
Chemical analysis fails to decide the
exact medicinal effects, independently
of the careful and faithful observa-
tions of the beneficiary. The afflicted
who have used and been benefitted, al-
ways furnish the best and most relia-
ble evidence.
Blessed as we are now with many
dierent mineral springs, and of the
very highest medicinal virtue, we can
by systematic drilling develop many
more equally as good, if not better,
and at the same time locate them so
that sanitariums, hotels and bath
houses can be erected with great ad-
vantage, to accommodate those wish-
ing to come here for pleasure and
treatment.
SARATOGA OF THE WEST.
The Odevene spring will always be
of vast commercial interest, as the
water is finding an unlimited demand.
It is shipped in large amounts to va-
rious parts of the country, and is
having a growth never dreamed of by
the citizens of Delaware. The steady
development of the Saratoga springs
has been going on until now they
have world-wide renown. What has
been done there can be done here,
and we venture to say should have
been done long before this. Let five
to ten wells be drilled in the most
pleasant parts of the city, and soon
we will see hotel and sanitarium ac-
commodations made for the large
number resorting here for health and
pleasure, and many as permanent cit-
izens, to use the waters, and will see
our population doubled in ten years.
The first spring at Saratoga was
discovered in 1767, "The High Rock
Spring," by Sir Wm. Johnston. Tra-
dition tells of the Indians using from
it long before this. The Congress
Spring was discovered in 1792. Then
followed others in rapid succession,
until now they have over thirty, all
properly analyzed and recorded, each
one possessing rare medicinal proper-
ties, and which over 300,000 people an-
nually visit for health and pleasure.
Why should not the various sulphur
and chalybeate springs of our city be-
come the Saratoga of Ohio and the
West? All of these springs of any re-
pute are, ranging from 60 to 200 feet
below the surface. With the excep-
tion of the High Rock spring, all are
tubed, ranging as stated above.
It is the duty of every scientific and
medical writer interested in our city,
to investigate, write and make reports
upon the history, probable origin
and chemical properties, and the ther-
apeutical value, and the medicinal val-
ue of each and every spring. In this
manner a vast and valuable fund of
information can be collected for the
city, and for all coming here to use
the waters for various forms of dis-
eases.
We dare say this should have been
done long before this, and the benefits
would not be felt by all of us. It has
only been of recent date that the Ode-
vene spring waters have been brought
prominently before the people, and its
possibilities cannot be estimated. The
reason for this rapid growth is as sta-
ted before, from the properties found
in the water of such marvelous thera-
peutical action. It is only too fre-
quently stated by the wise and unwise
the learned and the unlearned, that
these, as well as all mineral waters
have not medicinal virtues, and the
same results can be attained by using
artificially prepared waters.
NATURE'S COMBINATIONS BEST.
The argument only confirms the
benefits arising from the use of these
waters as nature furnishes them to us
yet all differing in power as cathartics
laxatives and diuretics and elixir wat-
ers, as discussed and taught in medi-
cal books. The action of these same
agents chemically prepared act upon
the organs by irritation, causing se-
cretion and elimination, while these
same agents in these mineral waters
are natural to the body, and acting as
powerful oxidizers of the disintegrated
or broken down tissues, and elimina-
ting from the body by the different or-
gans the waste matter. These waters,
charged with important elements,
again furnish the blood with powerful
restoratives to build up tissue, and to
cure disease. That the Odevene stim-
ulates the liver secretion, and acts as
a cholagogue, we have abundance of
evidence. Those using it report the
laxative or cathartic effects, or the
more rapid digestion and relief from
distress in the stomach. The gastro-
intestinal irritability is relieved and
cured. The dark, swarty complexion
changed to a ruddy, healthy color, and
the whole system, through the glandu-
lar organs is strengthened and invig-
orated. The weak and debilitated
heart and arteries gain power and
strength. The nervous system is elec-
trified and set going. To give a list
of the diseases influenced and cured
by these waters would take too much
time, and would be confusing. These
mineral waters, like all others, should
be used by the sick under regular and
strict rules, and always under the
care of a physician or nurse, who have
carefully investigated their use. I
dare say the medical staff of our city
as far above the ordinary, and may be
relied upon for instructing and assist-
ing those wishing advice. Those in
health need no help, but are ready to
testify to the benefits derived from us-
ing the waters for bathing and drink-
ing.
THE ODEVENE SPRING.
The Odevene Spring is owned and
operated by the "Odevene Spring Com-
pany." It is located just east of the
campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, and a little west of the Olentan-
gy River, and at the junction of the
C. C. C. & St. L. R. R. and the C. S.
& H. R. R.. A company drilled this
well into the rock and struck this val-
uable thermal mineral spring water at
the dept of 400 feet. The well is in
the great lime rock strata, and the sul-
phur component renders the
water valuable in many forms of
disease. The company have beauti-
fied their well with an artificial stone
basin. Their bottling works are near-
by the spring, where they work a
number of hands, washing the bottles,
filling, lebeling and packing ready for
shipping. They have arranged for a
portion of the water to flow from the
well, to accommodate the hundreds of
people who visit it daily for drinking,
&c. Over twenty thousand gallons
flow from the well daily. The won-
derful medicinal effects of the water
have been thoroughly tested, and en-
dorsed, not only by the local physi-
cians, but by other leading physicians.
They prescribe it daily with the ut-
most confidence to those of a seden-
tary habit, and those suffering from
the various forms of bilious disorders.
The water, containing the laxative
salts, chloride of sodium or common
salt, bicarbonate of magnesioum, the
chloride of magnesia, induce effects
that are mild, pleasant and certain,
and without irritating the intestinal
tract or impairing the digestive func-
tions; on the other hand, promoting
the appetite, and stimulating digestion
and assimilation. The chloride of cal-
cium acting powerfully upon the
glands of the skin, the kidneys, and
the mucous membrane, is an agent of
great value as a curative power. The
various forms of eczema, the enlarge-
ment of glands are cured when the
waster is systematically used for drink-
ing and bathing. The same can be
said of the white and black sulphur
waters, as many hundreds, yes thous-
ands, of people who have for these
many years used them, can testify.
MAGNETIC SPRINGS.
We will speak also of the Magnetic
Springs, properly called Chalybeate
springs. The Lenape spring, owned
by Mrs. C.E. Hills, has been analyzed
and tested for years. The ingredients
contained in these waters are of great
benefit to the blood and the body.
Many chalybeate springs in this coun-
try, as well as in Europe, are visited
for the purpose of drinking, bathing,
and treatment. Those at Richmond,
Va., Sharon, Pa., the Bedford, Bright-
on and Cheltenham in Europe, where
large numbers visit continually, speak
volumes for them. Yet the chalybeate
springs of our own city have nearly
the same chemical composition, but in
addition combine the valuable saline
properties, making them of far more
value as curative agents than those
mentioned.
That we may prove to you that what
has been said is true, we will give the
analysis of our springs, and a few of
the most noted in this country and in
Europe.

these springs, and only stopped com-
ing to them when they were shut out
by the fences. For over half a centu-
ry, thousands of people annually fol-
lowed the same law and instinct, not
fully appreciating the medicinal pow-
er in these mineral waters, until some
years ago, when a few enterprising
and progressive citizens connected
with the University and city, believed
that these waters contained valuable
medicinal agents of great value to hu-
manity, and possessed by but few
mineral springs in the world. Acting
upon their belief, they had them anal-
yzed. The analysis proved that each
and every mineral spring possessed
medicinal qualitites of uncommon and
beneficial influence to mankind. This
wonderful revelation made by them
proved that the waters were not only
similar, but far superior to many oth-
ers whose fame had spread far and
near. These white and black and sa-
line sulphur and chalybeate springs in
this locality are far superior in every
respect to many in this and foreign
lands. The analysis has proved that
our sulphur springs are better and
stronger than those of Virginia, where
thousands visit annually. They are
better, and possess more valuable in-
gredients than those of Pennsylvania
or Colorado. The temperature of
springs, as well as the waters charged
with certain medicinal agents, render
them more or less valuable for thera-
peutical purposes. As a rule, spring
waters have a temperature of 33 de-
grees. When the temperature is high-
er than 36 degrees, they are known as
thermal springs. These are often of
more or less value independently of
the power of the water to dissolve
mineral substances and the gases they
contain. Yet when a spring is ther-
mal, and contains the important gas-
es, and holds in solution valuable
mineral agents, they become of far
greater importance to mankind.
Such are the springs in this locality.
Our suplhur springs have a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, and the chalybeate
springs 56 degrees, while the famous
Wildsbad Spring of Germany has a
temperature of 61 degrees; the Clifton,
of New York, 54 degrees; Carlsbad,
131 degrees; The Warmbrunn, Ger-
many, 68 degrees; the Hot Spring of
Arkansas, 90 degrees to 108 degrees;
and the Great Guyser of Iceland, 180
degrees.
COMPOSITION VARIES.
The composition of mineral waters
varies according to the strata through
which the water passes, as well as to
the pressure and previous composition
under which it is in contact with the
deposits. Waters vary in composi-
tion in the same locality, yet comes to
the surface in close proximity to each
other, as is witnessed in this locality.
We see the same condition at Sarato-
ga, New York. Coming by pressure to
the surface, these waters are found
[illegible] therapeutical values
one from the other, and yet each and ev-
ery one possessing rare and valuable
medicinal virtues. When we have
thoroughly drilled down into the great
mineral strata below us, and thus
carefully developed other springs, and
we may say, properly located them,
there will be no reason why they will
not be sought after for drinking and
bathing purposes, and the curing of
all forms of diseases equal to, if not
far more, than those in other localities
of less value.
RARE MINERAL COMBINATIONS.
The rare mineral combinations so
universally present in these mineral
springs, and with which we should
have been more deeply interested, are
not so different from those whose wat-
ers have cured many diseases, and giv-
en happiness to many individuals.
The oxygen, nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide, carbonate and bicarbonate of so-
dium; the sulphate and chloride of so-
dium; the carbonate and bicarbonate
of calcium; the different forms of iron
combined and re-combined by nature's
law, are of the highest therapeutical
value when properly used.
The classification of mineral waters
is exceedingly difficult, yet all are
based upon the predominence of some
certain constituents, or constituents
imparting to them certain medicinal
and therapeutical values to be used in
different diseases or in various ways.
The special or principal constituent
giving the peculair character to the
mineral waters, acting as a cathartic
or as a laxative, is the bicarbonate of
mangnesia and bicarbonate of soda,
and the chloride of sodium. The ton-
ic mineral waters contain bicarbonate
of iron or oxide of iron. The altera-
tive mineral waters contain iodide of
sodium and chloride of potassia and
sodium. The diuretic properties of
the mineral waters depend upon the
bicarbonate of lithia and protox-
ide of hydrogen. It will be well to re-
member this when studying and dis-
cussing the qualities and uses of our
mineral waters.
[image: FAMOUS WHITE SULPHUR SPRING ON THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS]
LIFE-GIVING GASES.
That the carbonic acid gas, sulphur-
etted hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
are the life-giving principles of all our
mineral springs, we can no longer
doubt. They contribute to the solu-
bility of the salts contained in the
waters, and render them more palata-
ble and more agreeable to the stom-
ach. The perfect solubility of these
salts enhances the great medicinal
power of the mineral waters, and
hence are more valuable for drinking
and bathing, and curing of diseases.
Once let the gases be driven off or es-
cape, and the water evaporated, and
we will find it will take more than ten
times the amount of rain water to re-
dissolve them. The absence of these
gases in the strongest iron springs of
Europe render them worthless, or
nearly so.
When comparing our springs with
many others, we find a much larger
amount of gases in them, thus mak-
ing them of the highest benefit in cur-
ing diseases and for every day use. It
seems useless for us to discuss these
gases further, but before leaving them,
we will say they seem to travel thrugh
some of the springs and escape, while
in the case of the springs in this lo-
cality, they are most thoroughly and
firmly impregnated with them.
LAXATIVE QUALITIES.
While many famous mineral springs
contain bicarbonate of magnesia,
which acts as a laxative and an antac-
id in some stomachs, our springs con-
tain not only the same, but added to
it is the sulphate of magnesia and
chloride of sodium, acting more mild-
ly and safely as a laxative and cathar-
tic as well as correcting the "sour
stomach," especially seen in those ad-
dicted to the use of alcohol, and those,
too, who overindulge in eating at un-
usual hours. By using these waters
the "heartburn" and sick headache
soon disappear. They start the torpid
liver, and arouse the intestinal inac-
tion. The medical profession well
know and highly appreciate the use of
the carbonate and bicarbonate of so-
dium, found so abundantly in our
springs, and can tewstify to their won-
derful and highly beneficial influence
as medicinal agents, especially in cor-
recting the morbid secretions of uric
acid.
BENEFICIAL IN RHEUMATISM.
As found in the waters of our
springs, the acids hold in solution al-
buminates, the phosphates, &c., ren-
dering them thus highly beneficial in
all forms of rheumatism. With little
labor, many valuable testimonials
could be furnished giving proof of re-
markable cures in this disease. When
used for bathing and drinking the ef-
fects have been far more rapid.
TONI WATERS.
The Chalybeate springs, known as
the Lenape or Hills' springs, furnish
one of the best tonic waters in the
country. The iron contained in the
waters, when taken into the body,
builds up the red corpuscles of the
blood, stimulates the appetite, and
enriches the whole body. That most
important agent so demanded by the
whole animal creation, chloride of so-
dium, or common salt, is abundantly
found in the chalybeate springs, and
in each and every one of our springs.
Every physician can testify how
this agent increases the solubility of
the albumen of the blood, and pre-
vents the rapid destruction of red
corpuscles.
It stimulates the secretion of gas-
tric juice, increases the flow of bile,
and the more rapid interchange of
fluids in the body, called, osmosis,
[illegible] of the kidneys; there are in-
creased secretion and excretion of
urine. We dare say, the remarkable
influence salt has on the body we can-
not estimate until we have used the
water so remarkable supplied with
them. The only method of proving
their action is by carefully watching
and recording the therapeutical effects
on the patient. The same is true of
all the waters. The effects have been
watched and recorded, and many are
ready to give testimony of astonish-
ing and bewildering results.
Chemical analysis fails to decide the
exact medicinal effects, independently
of the careful and faithful observa-
tions of the beneficiary. The afflicted
who have used and been benefitted, al-
ways furnish the best and most relia-
ble evidence.
Blessed as we are now with many
dierent mineral springs, and of the
very highest medicinal virtue, we can
by systematic drilling develop many
more equally as good, if not better,
and at the same time locate them so
that sanitariums, hotels and bath
houses can be erected with great ad-
vantage, to accommodate those wish-
ing to come here for pleasure and
treatment.
SARATOGA OF THE WEST.
The Odevene spring will always be
of vast commercial interest, as the
water is finding an unlimited demand.
It is shipped in large amounts to va-
rious parts of the country, and is
having a growth never dreamed of by
the citizens of Delaware. The steady
development of the Saratoga springs
has been going on until now they
have world-wide renown. What has
been done there can be done here,
and we venture to say should have
been done long before this. Let five
to ten wells be drilled in the most
pleasant parts of the city, and soon
we will see hotel and sanitarium ac-
commodations made for the large
number resorting here for health and
pleasure, and many as permanent cit-
izens, to use the waters, and will see
our population doubled in ten years.
The first spring at Saratoga was
discovered in 1767, "The High Rock
Spring," by Sir Wm. Johnston. Tra-
dition tells of the Indians using from
it long before this. The Congress
Spring was discovered in 1792. Then
followed others in rapid succession,
until now they have over thirty, all
properly analyzed and recorded, each
one possessing rare medicinal proper-
ties, and which over 300,000 people an-
nually visit for health and pleasure.
Why should not the various sulphur
and chalybeate springs of our city be-
come the Saratoga of Ohio and the
West? All of these springs of any re-
pute are, ranging from 60 to 200 feet
below the surface. With the excep-
tion of the High Rock spring, all are
tubed, ranging as stated above.
It is the duty of every scientific and
medical writer interested in our city,
to investigate, write and make reports
upon the history, probable origin
and chemical properties, and the ther-
apeutical value, and the medicinal val-
ue of each and every spring. In this
manner a vast and valuable fund of
information can be collected for the
city, and for all coming here to use
the waters for various forms of dis-
eases.
We dare say this should have been
done long before this, and the benefits
would not be felt by all of us. It has
only been of recent date that the Ode-
vene spring waters have been brought
prominently before the people, and its
possibilities cannot be estimated. The
reason for this rapid growth is as sta-
ted before, from the properties found
in the water of such marvelous thera-
peutical action. It is only too fre-
quently stated by the wise and unwise
the learned and the unlearned, that
these, as well as all mineral waters
have not medicinal virtues, and the
same results can be attained by using
artificially prepared waters.
NATURE'S COMBINATIONS BEST.
The argument only confirms the
benefits arising from the use of these
waters as nature furnishes them to us
yet all differing in power as cathartics
laxatives and diuretics and elixir wat-
ers, as discussed and taught in medi-
cal books. The action of these same
agents chemically prepared act upon
the organs by irritation, causing se-
cretion and elimination, while these
same agents in these mineral waters
are natural to the body, and acting as
powerful oxidizers of the disintegrated
or broken down tissues, and elimina-
ting from the body by the different or-
gans the waste matter. These waters,
charged with important elements,
again furnish the blood with powerful
restoratives to build up tissue, and to
cure disease. That the Odevene stim-
ulates the liver secretion, and acts as
a cholagogue, we have abundance of
evidence. Those using it report the
laxative or cathartic effects, or the
more rapid digestion and relief from
distress in the stomach. The gastro-
intestinal irritability is relieved and
cured. The dark, swarty complexion
changed to a ruddy, healthy color, and
the whole system, through the glandu-
lar organs is strengthened and invig-
orated. The weak and debilitated
heart and arteries gain power and
strength. The nervous system is elec-
trified and set going. To give a list
of the diseases influenced and cured
by these waters would take too much
time, and would be confusing. These
mineral waters, like all others, should
be used by the sick under regular and
strict rules, and always under the
care of a physician or nurse, who have
carefully investigated their use. I
dare say the medical staff of our city
as far above the ordinary, and may be
relied upon for instructing and assist-
ing those wishing advice. Those in
health need no help, but are ready to
testify to the benefits derived from us-
ing the waters for bathing and drink-
ing.
THE ODEVENE SPRING.
The Odevene Spring is owned and
operated by the "Odevene Spring Com-
pany." It is located just east of the
campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, and a little west of the Olentan-
gy River, and at the junction of the
C. C. C. & St. L. R. R. and the C. S.
& H. R. R.. A company drilled this
well into the rock and struck this val-
uable thermal mineral spring water at
the dept of 400 feet. The well is in
the great lime rock strata, and the sul-
phur component renders the
water valuable in many forms of
disease. The company have beauti-
fied their well with an artificial stone
basin. Their bottling works are near-
by the spring, where they work a
number of hands, washing the bottles,
filling, lebeling and packing ready for
shipping. They have arranged for a
portion of the water to flow from the
well, to accommodate the hundreds of
people who visit it daily for drinking,
&c. Over twenty thousand gallons
flow from the well daily. The won-
derful medicinal effects of the water
have been thoroughly tested, and en-
dorsed, not only by the local physi-
cians, but by other leading physicians.
They prescribe it daily with the ut-
most confidence to those of a seden-
tary habit, and those suffering from
the various forms of bilious disorders.
The water, containing the laxative
salts, chloride of sodium or common
salt, bicarbonate of magnesioum, the
chloride of magnesia, induce effects
that are mild, pleasant and certain,
and without irritating the intestinal
tract or impairing the digestive func-
tions; on the other hand, promoting
the appetite, and stimulating digestion
and assimilation. The chloride of cal-
cium acting powerfully upon the
glands of the skin, the kidneys, and
the mucous membrane, is an agent of
great value as a curative power. The
various forms of eczema, the enlarge-
ment of glands are cured when the
waster is systematically used for drink-
ing and bathing. The same can be
said of the white and black sulphur
waters, as many hundreds, yes thous-
ands, of people who have for these
many years used them, can testify.
MAGNETIC SPRINGS.
We will speak also of the Magnetic
Springs, properly called Chalybeate
springs. The Lenape spring, owned
by Mrs. C.E. Hills, has been analyzed
and tested for years. The ingredients
contained in these waters are of great
benefit to the blood and the body.
Many chalybeate springs in this coun-
try, as well as in Europe, are visited
for the purpose of drinking, bathing,
and treatment. Those at Richmond,
Va., Sharon, Pa., the Bedford, Bright-
on and Cheltenham in Europe, where
large numbers visit continually, speak
volumes for them. Yet the chalybeate
springs of our own city have nearly
the same chemical composition, but in
addition combine the valuable saline
properties, making them of far more
value as curative agents than those
mentioned.
That we may prove to you that what
has been said is true, we will give the
analysis of our springs, and a few of
the most noted in this country and in
Europe.

was analyzed by the celebrate con-
sulting and analytical chemist, A.A.
Brenneman, of New York. He gives
the following composition:
[Temperature 60°, density 1,0040, total solid
375.11 per gallon.] Gr.
Potassium Chloride............ 18.63
Sodium Chloride............... 145.87
Lithium Chloride.............. Traces
Calcium Chloride.............. 15.26
Magnesium Chloride............ 55.93
Calcium Sulphate.............. 102.47
Calcium Bicarbonate........... 33.87
Magnesioum Bicarbonate........ 2.64
Alumina and Iron.............. 0.05
Silica........................ 0.37
No Organic Matter.
Less the Carbonic acid and water of the
Bicarbonates.......... 361.32
The important gases spoken of be-
fore, and of such vast importance in
all mineral waters, are in large quan-
tities in this spring:
Per Gal.
Sulphurretted Hydrogen........ 2.924
Nitrogen...................... 5.810
Oxygen........................ 0.158
By the analysis, we see the water,
as stated, is not only a strong mineral,
but a highly saline sulphuretted one.
This chemist further says, this sui-
phurette hydrogen gas. A United
States gallon contains in cubic inches
as follows:
Wellbach well, Germany........ 1.161
Cave well, N. Y............... 2.754
White Sulphur well, N. Y...... 0.884
Florida well, N. Y............ 3.765
Odevene well.................. 2.924
Taking the analysis of these wells, we
find the ODEVENE of greater value in
this gas and its combinations in the
curing of disease, and as a valuable
mineral water.
LENAPE MAGNETIC SPRINGS.
The Lenape Magnetice springs were
known, like the other springs, to the
Indians long before the coming of the
white man. The Lenni-Lenape tribe
of Indians camped in the vicinity of
these waters. There are two of these
springs only a few feet apart, giving
a discharge of 8,400 gallons each per
day. Though so near together, the
waters differ materially in their com-
position, as will be seen in the analy-
sis. Unlike the other springs, it has
a wonderful magnetic influence, mak-
ing it on of the marvels of nature.
Its use in various diseases has been
carefully tested, and found to be of
great value. No. 1 acting most re-
markably on the liver, kidneys and
blood, while No. 2 acts more directly
upon stomach diseases and the bowels
as well as the blood. Having such
large quantities of iron, its use is es-
pecially adapted to the diseases affect-
ing the blood, or when the patient
needs a tonic.
No. 1 Odevene analysis is as follows:
[Temperature 57°, density 1.0320, total solid
per gallon 55.693.]
Sodium Chloride............... 3.346
Calcium Chloride.............. 0.634
Potach Sulphate............... 1.334

No. 2 Odevene analysis is as follows:
[Temperature 57°, density 1.0620, Total solid
per gallon 40.64]
Sodium Chloride............... 2.15
Lime Sulphate................. 5.12

Magnesia Carbonate............ 12.11
Lime Carbonate................ 17.73
Potassia...................... Traces

When these waters have been used
regularly and systematically, they im-
prove the secretions and the appetite,
relieve the decomposition of food in
the stomach, and stop the eructation
of gas, cure the diseased mucous
membranes, and stimulates the torpid
liver and intestine to action, builds up
the broken down blood corpuscles,
and thus stimulates the whole organ-
ism. It being a strong antacid, com-
bines with the gastric juices, and acts
as a laxative and cathartic, and acts
most beneficially on all cases of rheu-
matism.
WHILE SULPHUR SPRING.
The oldest and most famous spring
is the White Sulphur Spring on the
campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity. Thousands of students and vis-
itors from all parts of the United
States and the world have the most
perfect knowledge of it, and are ready
to give testimony as to its value. How
long it has been flowing tradition fails
to tell. The rich, sulphuretted odor of
this as well as the five others of the
same nature, can be detected long be-
fore reaching the spring. The visit-
ors, on the first visit, are disgusted and
nauseated with the taste and odor,
which is so powerful, but after a few
visits they like it, and are found there
daily praising it in the highest terms.
Daily, hundreds are seen with vessels,
drinking and carrying the water away.
These sulphur springs are more
bountifully supplied with sulphuretted
hydrogen and carbonic acid gases than
any other springs in the country. In
each gallon of water can be found 96
cubic inches of sulphuretted hydrogen
gas, and 36 cubic inches of carbonic
acid gas. The large amount of chlo-
ride of sodium, and the different forms
of chloride of lime, compounded with
magnesia, renders the water most val-
uable as powerful antacid, acting to
cure dyspepsia, toning up the mucous
membrane of the stomach and intes-
tines, and restoring the digestion.
They start the torpid liver, and pan-
creatic and intestinal action, acting as
a mild laxative and cathartic. The
wonderful composition of the water al-
so shows great diurectic properties,
many testify to the beneficial influence
on the kidneys. Thus we find we have
a mild cathartic refrigerant, diurectic
antacid, and an antiseptic water, to
bless and benefit mankind, as found
in no other locality. The gaseous pro-
ducts found in one gallon of water by
analysis:
Sulphureted Hydrogen gas, 96 cubic inches.
Carbonic acid gas, 24 cubic inches.

ature 60°, density 1.0026, total solids; gasses--

the While Sulphur Spring as follows:
Gr.

Bicarbonote Magnesium 8
Carbonate of soda 5
The sulphuretted springs known as
the C. O. Little springs, west of the
city, containing white and black sul-
phur, are equally valuable, but have
never been analyzed.
These sulphuretted waters, possess-
ing these mineral substances and
abundance of gases, can be readily
distinguished from the others by the
odor as well as by drinking. Those
found in Europe, as well as in various
parts of the United States are far in
ferior to these in our locality. Those
in Virginia and in Pennsylvania do
not conform to those here in power or
medicinal influence. The famous
Harrogate sulphur spring has a den-
sity of 1.01113, and a temperature of
48 degrees. Carbonic acid gas of 22
cubic inches; carburetted hydrogen
5.84; sulphuretted hydrogen 5.51; Nit
rogen 2; making a total of about 36
cubic inches. Sulphate of lime 0.181
gr.; carbonate of lime 12.3; and chlo-
ride of calcium 81.7 gr.; chloride of
magnesia 35.6 gr.; chlorate pottassia
64.7 gr.; chloride of sodium .866 gr;
sulphate of sodium 15.4 gr., with a few
other unimportant elements.
The celebrated Clifton Springs, of
New York, to which so many annually
go, will not compare with either the
White Sulphur Springs or the Ode-
vene, yet it is classed with the lead-
ing mineral springs of the world. The

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY
For Profitable Investment of Capital in
Properly Utilizing Delaware's Wealth
of Natural Mineral Water.
There is no reason why Delaware
could not be made a veritable "Sara-
toga of the West," if her almost un-
limited resources in mineral waters,
possessing so great medicinal virtues,
were properly developed and utilized.
From the foregoing article, it will be
seen that we have the waters in
abundance and that their varieties
and virtues are far greater than those
possessed by Saratoga or any other
one great Health and Pleasure Resort.
Delaware being in the center of the
State of Ohio, is readily accessible
from every quarter. Our railways
reach in every direction, and put us in
easy communication with all parts of
the United States, and no doubt many
pleasure and health seekers could be
attracted here.
It seems certain that profitable in-
vestment is awaiting the capital of the
enterprising man or men who will
properly develop and utilize nature's
hidden stores of health-giving waters,
which are ever ready to respond to a
properly made invitation to come to
the surface and bestow their blessings
upon humanity.

DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME---A CREDIT TO
THE CITY AND COUNTY, AND TO THE
HEARTS OF ITS PROJECTORS.
[image: DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME]
It was in a little upper room of the
Court House, where the "Ladies'
Christian Union" of our city at that
time held its meetings, and in the ear-
ly months of 1881, that it was decided,
and the final vote taken by that Asso-
ciation, that Delaware needed and
must have a Children's Home. On the
19th of April, 1881, the first public
meeting was held in the Presbyterian
Church, looking to an organization of
this kind. April 27th, at an adjourned
meeting held at St. Peter's (Episcopal)
Church, an organization was perfect-
ed, officers elected, a Constitution and
By-Laws adopted, and this little life-
boat of rescue was launched on no un-
certain sea.
This Children's Home was first or-
ganized as a City Home, but soon wi-
dened out into a County Home, hoping
and [paper torn line illegible] and
[image: A TYPICAL GROUP OF OUR CHILDREN'S HOME CHILDREN.]
support would flow in equally from
city and country. Its incorporators
decided that its support should come
from "public and private subscriptions
and donations," and that it should be
located within the city limits, so its
children could attend public schools
and churches.
After a delay of many months in
perfecting plans of operation, a tem-
porary Home was opened December,
1881 on Union street, with ten child-
ren, six of whom were from the In-
firmary. Though organized in April,
1881, it was not until January, 1882,
that incorporation papers were taken
out. This seemed to give new life and
inspiration to the work, and the Bix-
by house on William street was rented
and systematic work entered upon
April 1st, 1882. The Board of County
Commissioners assisted in rent and
coal, while different churches and
some individuals undertook the fur-
nishing of rooms.
The history of this Home for the
first nine years was one alternating
with clouds and sunshine. Only an
unshaken faith in those having charge,
that it was a God-appointed work, ena-
bled them to meet and conquer the dis-
couragements arising from limited
means, and rented grounds so unsult-
ed and illy adapted to develop aright
the work in hand.
In the summer and fall of 1889, the
positive necessity of a permanent hab-
itation was so pressed upon the hearts
of the workers, that a special commit-
tee was appointed looking to this end.
This committee found buried in some
20 years of legislative debris the fol-
lowing law:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of Ohio,
That in any county in the state of Ohio
where there now is, or hereafter may
be, an incorporated "Children's Aid
Society," or "Children's Home," or
"Industrial School," or "Industrial
School and Home," or any other incor-
porated society whose object is the
care, aid and education of neglected
and destitute children, the County
Commissioners [page torn] such county, and
the City Council of any city, in addi-
tion to the powers now conferred upon
such Commissioners or City Council,
are hereby authorized, (if they deem
it judicious) to aid any such institu-
tion to purchase land, erect buildings,
either by subscriptions with others to
raise a fund for that purpose, or by
direct aid or donation or otherwise, in
an amount not exceeding six thousand
dollars, as they deem expedient. (See
Sec. 929 et seq.)"
This they hoped might help them in
securing this permanent Home. About
the same time there was thrown upon
the market the Potter Home, just
north of the city, offered, too, at less
than half its real value, $8,500.00, Mr.
Potter having expended $20,000 in its
improvement, a property admirably
adapted to the wants of this increased
family of little orphans now number-
ing from forty to fifty. The Commis-
sioners, after assuring themselves that
they could lawfully give to this enter-
prise the $6,000.00 allowed in this law,
so decided. The additional amount
necessary was secured by special
legislation, and this Home, so beautiful
for situation, and now the pride and joy
of our whole county, was purchased
by the Board ot Trustees, and deeded
to the Trustees of the Children's Home
so long as it was used by them for the
purposes of a Home.
In the summer of 1893, this Home,
built for a private family, was enlarg-
ed and remodeled. Three thousand
dollars of this money being secured in
right-of-way to the Sandusky Short
Line Railway, the Commissioners
again assisting with the balance of the
amount needed.
February 19, 1896, this beautiful
Home was destroyed by fire. Fortu-
nately there was carried enough insur-
ance to rebuild, which was promptly
done, and out of these ashes rose a
new and in every way improved build-
ing.
This Home has always been self-
supporting, the board of children from
this and other counties [illegible] donations
[page torn]
year, with an average of some 60
children, were $4,726.07 -- with a bal-
lance in treasury of $722.01. Twenty-
one children have been placed in
home the last year. Average cost of
placing children, $14.15, this amount
covering also expense of systematic
visiting during year of children al-
ready placed.

MOST VALUABLE
MINERAL SPRINGS,
(Continued from Page 4.)
was analyzed by the celebrate con-
sulting and analytical chemist, A.A.
Brenneman, of New York. He gives
the following composition:
[Temperature 60°, density 1,0040, total solid
375.11 per gallon.] Gr.
Potassium Chloride............ 18.63
Sodium Chloride............... 145.87
Lithium Chloride.............. Traces
Calcium Chloride.............. 15.26
Magnesium Chloride............ 55.93
Calcium Sulphate.............. 102.47
Calcium Bicarbonate........... 33.87
Magnesioum Bicarbonate........ 2.64
Alumina and Iron.............. 0.05
Silica........................ 0.37
No Organic Matter.
Less the Carbonic acid and water of the
Bicarbonates.......... 361.32
The important gases spoken of be-
fore, and of such vast importance in
all mineral waters, are in large quan-
tities in this spring:
Per Gal.
Sulphurretted Hydrogen........ 2.924
Nitrogen...................... 5.810
Oxygen........................ 0.158
By the analysis, we see the water,
as stated, is not only a strong mineral,
but a highly saline sulphuretted one.
This chemist further says, this sui-
phurette hydrogen gas. A United
States gallon contains in cubic inches
as follows:
Wellbach well, Germany........ 1.161
Cave well, N. Y............... 2.754
White Sulphur well, N. Y...... 0.884
Florida well, N. Y............ 3.765
Odevene well.................. 2.924
Taking the analysis of these wells, we
find the ODEVENE of greater value in
this gas and its combinations in the
curing of disease, and as a valuable
mineral water.
LENAPE MAGNETIC SPRINGS.
The Lenape Magnetice springs were
known, like the other springs, to the
Indians long before the coming of the
white man. The Lenni-Lenape tribe
of Indians camped in the vicinity of
these waters. There are two of these
springs only a few feet apart, giving
a discharge of 8,400 gallons each per
day. Though so near together, the
waters differ materially in their com-
position, as will be seen in the analy-
sis. Unlike the other springs, it has
a wonderful magnetic influence, mak-
ing it on of the marvels of nature.
Its use in various diseases has been
carefully tested, and found to be of
great value. No. 1 acting most re-
markably on the liver, kidneys and
blood, while No. 2 acts more directly
upon stomach diseases and the bowels
as well as the blood. Having such
large quantities of iron, its use is es-
pecially adapted to the diseases affect-
ing the blood, or when the patient
needs a tonic.
No. 1 Odevene analysis is as follows:
[Temperature 57°, density 1.0320, total solid
per gallon 55.693.]
Sodium Chloride............... 3.346
Calcium Chloride.............. 0.634
Potach Sulphate............... 1.334
Lime Sulphate................. 6.201
Magnesia Sulphate............. 0.934
Lime Bicarbonate.............. 27.421
Magnesia Bicarbonate.......... 15.211
Iron Oxide.................... .539
Silica........................ .054
Organic matter................ .004
_______
55.695
No. 2 Odevene analysis is as follows:
[Temperature 57°, density 1.0620, Total solid
per gallon 40.64]
Sodium Chloride............... 2.15
Lime Sulphate................. 5.12
Magnesia...................... 2.31
Magnesia Carbonate............ 12.11
Lime Carbonate................ 17.73
Potassia...................... Traces
Iron Oxide.................... 0.41
Alumina....................... Traces
Organic matter................ 0.81
When these waters have been used
regularly and systematically, they im-
prove the secretions and the appetite,
relieve the decomposition of food in
the stomach, and stop the eructation
of gas, cure the diseased mucous
membranes, and stimulates the torpid
liver and intestine to action, builds up
the broken down blood corpuscles,
and thus stimulates the whole organ-
ism. It being a strong antacid, com-
bines with the gastric juices, and acts
as a laxative and cathartic, and acts
most beneficially on all cases of rheu-
matism.
WHILE SULPHUR SPRING.
The oldest and most famous spring
is the White Sulphur Spring on the
campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity. Thousands of students and vis-
itors from all parts of the United
States and the world have the most
perfect knowledge of it, and are ready
to give testimony as to its value. How
long it has been flowing tradition fails
to tell. The rich, sulphuretted odor of
this as well as the five others of the
same nature, can be detected long be-
fore reaching the spring. The visit-
ors, on the first visit, are disgusted and
nauseated with the taste and odor,
which is so powerful, but after a few
visits they like it, and are found there
daily praising it in the highest terms.
Daily, hundreds are seen with vessels,
drinking and carrying the water away.
These sulphur springs are more
bountifully supplied with sulphuretted
hydrogen and carbonic acid gases than
any other springs in the country. In
each gallon of water can be found 96
cubic inches of sulphuretted hydrogen
gas, and 36 cubic inches of carbonic
acid gas. The large amount of chlo-
ride of sodium, and the different forms
of chloride of lime, compounded with
magnesia, renders the water most val-
uable as powerful antacid, acting to
cure dyspepsia, toning up the mucous
membrane of the stomach and intes-
tines, and restoring the digestion.
They start the torpid liver, and pan-
creatic and intestinal action, acting as
a mild laxative and cathartic. The
wonderful composition of the water al-
so shows great diurectic properties,
many testify to the beneficial influence
on the kidneys. Thus we find we have
a mild cathartic refrigerant, diurectic
antacid, and an antiseptic water, to
bless and benefit mankind, as found
in no other locality. The gaseous pro-
ducts found in one gallon of water by
analysis:
Sulphureted Hydrogen gas, 96 cubic inches.
Carbonic acid gas, 24 cubic inches.
White Sulphur Spring of Delaware--Temper-
ature 60°, density 1.0026, total solids; gasses--

97 grains of the deposit resulting from the
evaporation of several gallons of water from
the While Sulphur Spring as follows:
Gr.
Chloride of Sodium 48
Calcium Sulphate 8
Calcium Bicarbonate 20
Sulphate magnesium 16
Bicarbonote Magnesium 8
Carbonate of soda 5
The sulphuretted springs known as
the C. O. Little springs, west of the
city, containing white and black sul-
phur, are equally valuable, but have
never been analyzed.
These sulphuretted waters, possess-
ing these mineral substances and
abundance of gases, can be readily
distinguished from the others by the
odor as well as by drinking. Those
found in Europe, as well as in various
parts of the United States are far in
ferior to these in our locality. Those
in Virginia and in Pennsylvania do
not conform to those here in power or
medicinal influence. The famous
Harrogate sulphur spring has a den-
sity of 1.01113, and a temperature of
48 degrees. Carbonic acid gas of 22
cubic inches; carburetted hydrogen
5.84; sulphuretted hydrogen 5.51; Nit
rogen 2; making a total of about 36
cubic inches. Sulphate of lime 0.181
gr.; carbonate of lime 12.3; and chlo-
ride of calcium 81.7 gr.; chloride of
magnesia 35.6 gr.; chlorate pottassia
64.7 gr.; chloride of sodium .866 gr;
sulphate of sodium 15.4 gr., with a few
other unimportant elements.
The celebrated Clifton Springs, of
New York, to which so many annually
go, will not compare with either the
White Sulphur Springs or the Ode-
vene, yet it is classed with the lead-
ing mineral springs of the world. The

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY
For Profitable Investment of Capital in
Properly Utilizing Delaware's Wealth
of Natural Mineral Water.
There is no reason why Delaware
could not be made a veritable "Sara-
toga of the West," if her almost un-
limited resources in mineral waters,
possessing so great medicinal virtues,
were properly developed and utilized.
From the foregoing article, it will be
seen that we have the waters in
abundance and that their varieties
and virtues are far greater than those
possessed by Saratoga or any other
one great Health and Pleasure Resort.
Delaware being in the center of the
State of Ohio, is readily accessible
from every quarter. Our railways
reach in every direction, and put us in
easy communication with all parts of
the United States, and no doubt many
pleasure and health seekers could be
attracted here.
It seems certain that profitable in-
vestment is awaiting the capital of the
enterprising man or men who will
properly develop and utilize nature's
hidden stores of health-giving waters,
which are ever ready to respond to a
properly made invitation to come to
the surface and bestow their blessings
upon humanity.

DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME---A CREDIT TO
THE CITY AND COUNTY, AND TO THE
HEARTS OF ITS PROJECTORS.
[image: DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME]
It was in a little upper room of the
Court House, where the "Ladies'
Christian Union" of our city at that
time held its meetings, and in the ear-
ly months of 1881, that it was decided,
and the final vote taken by that Asso-
ciation, that Delaware needed and
must have a Children's Home. On the
19th of April, 1881, the first public
meeting was held in the Presbyterian
Church, looking to an organization of
this kind. April 27th, at an adjourned
meeting held at St. Peter's (Episcopal)
Church, an organization was perfect-
ed, officers elected, a Constitution and
By-Laws adopted, and this little life-
boat of rescue was launched on no un-
certain sea.
This Children's Home was first or-
ganized as a City Home, but soon wi-
dened out into a County Home, hoping
and [paper torn line illegible] and
[image: A TYPICAL GROUP OF OUR CHILDREN'S HOME CHILDREN.]
support would flow in equally from
city and country. Its incorporators
decided that its support should come
from "public and private subscriptions
and donations," and that it should be
located within the city limits, so its
children could attend public schools
and churches.
After a delay of many months in
perfecting plans of operation, a tem-
porary Home was opened December,
1881 on Union street, with ten child-
ren, six of whom were from the In-
firmary. Though organized in April,
1881, it was not until January, 1882,
that incorporation papers were taken
out. This seemed to give new life and
inspiration to the work, and the Bix-
by house on William street was rented
and systematic work entered upon
April 1st, 1882. The Board of County
Commissioners assisted in rent and
coal, while different churches and
some individuals undertook the fur-
nishing of rooms.
The history of this Home for the
first nine years was one alternating
with clouds and sunshine. Only an
unshaken faith in those having charge,
that it was a God-appointed work, ena-
bled them to meet and conquer the dis-
couragements arising from limited
means, and rented grounds so unsult-
ed and illy adapted to develop aright
the work in hand.
In the summer and fall of 1889, the
positive necessity of a permanent hab-
itation was so pressed upon the hearts
of the workers, that a special commit-
tee was appointed looking to this end.
This committee found buried in some
20 years of legislative debris the fol-
lowing law:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of Ohio,
That in any county in the state of Ohio
where there now is, or hereafter may
be, an incorporated "Children's Aid
Society," or "Children's Home," or
"Industrial School," or "Industrial
School and Home," or any other incor-
porated society whose object is the
care, aid and education of neglected
and destitute children, the County
Commissioners [page torn] such county, and
the City Council of any city, in addi-
tion to the powers now conferred upon
such Commissioners or City Council,
are hereby authorized, (if they deem
it judicious) to aid any such institu-
tion to purchase land, erect buildings,
either by subscriptions with others to
raise a fund for that purpose, or by
direct aid or donation or otherwise, in
an amount not exceeding six thousand
dollars, as they deem expedient. (See
Sec. 929 et seq.)"
This they hoped might help them in
securing this permanent Home. About
the same time there was thrown upon
the market the Potter Home, just
north of the city, offered, too, at less
than half its real value, $8,500.00, Mr.
Potter having expended $20,000 in its

OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.
[image: GENERAL VIEW OF THE COLLEGE CAMPUS]
LOCATION.
Long before the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity was dreamed of, Delaware was
famed for beauty and for health.
The rolling ground, the mild climate
and the healing waters made this spot
the headquarters for rest and recrea-
tion for the Delaware Indians after
they had been driven from their east-
ern home. The first white settlers
soon learned that the fame of the sul-
phur springs rested not on Indian le-
gend, but on established facts. Presi-
dent Hayes, when visiting his old
friends in Delaware, was accustomed
to go each morning before breakfast
to the White Sulphur Spring on the
College Campus for a refreshing drink.
He often pronounced this water the
best in the land, and declared that the
Sulphur Spring would make a fortune
for the College, if the Trustees would
[image: UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL]
enclose it and employ a Barnum to
advertise its merits. Possibly his
judgment was slighly biased by the
fact that this was the spring of his
boyhood, and also by the fact that at
this spring young Hayes first met Lu-
cy Webb, the first girl admitted to the
College classes. Delaware was noted
as a watering place, until its reputa-
tion as a health resort was swallowed
up it its fame as a college town.
THE CITY
Of about ten thousand inhabitants, lo-
cated twenty-three miles north of co-
lumbus, is very near the geographical
center of Ohio. Railroads entering
Delaware by different routes make it
easy of access, while electric cars and
lights, shady streets, good schools,
[image: ASTRONOMICAL ONSERVATORY]
flourishing churches and beautiful
homes make it an almost ideal dwell-
ing place.
THE COLLEGE GROUNDS
Embrace the fine, rolling Campus in
the heart of the city, the beautiful
Monnett Campus in the west end, and

BUILDINGS.
Thirteen substantial buildings, well
adapted to their purposes, stand upon
the college grounds. Our space per-
mits a description of only the four
latest additions to this stately group.
UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL.
The main building was completed in
1893. It is worth a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars. It is a massive Roman-
esque structure, one hundred and fifty
by one hundred and sixty feet in di-
mensions, four stories high, crowned
by a stately tower one hundred and
forty-eight feet in height. It unites
under one roof the administrative offi-
ces of the University, twelve recitation
rooms, six literary halls, lecture rooms
and Gray Chapel. This Chapel, with
its magnificent Roosevelt organ, has
been pronounced the most spacious
and beautiful college chapel in Amer-
ica. A noted educator who had vis-
ited the leading colleges in the United
States and Eurpose, pronounced Uni-
versity Hall and Gray Chapel the fin-
est college building in the land.
THE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERV-
ATORY
In Observatory Park, occupies the
most commanding site in the city. It
is a handsome pressed brick building,
with a frontage of sixty-two feet, con-
taining a transit room, clock room,
computing and library room and dome.
The telescope contains a refracting
glass nine and one-half inches in di-
ameter, made by J.W. Brashear for
exhibition at the World's Fair. As-
tronomical experts have pronounced it
in clearness of definition superior to
many noted glasses of twice its size.
It enables the student to see a far
larger number of worlds than could
Sir John Herschel, who delcared that
18,000,000 stars were within the range
of his monster telescope.
THE SLOCUM LIBRARY BUILDING
Is the central structure in the College
group. It is one hundred and fifteen
by one hundred and twenty-five feet
in dimensions, built of the famous
Bedford limestone, three stories high,
and fireproof throughout. The stack
room has an estimated capacity of 175,-
000 volumes, while the reading room,
sixty by one hundred feet, lighted
from above, is one of the largest and
most beautiful college reading rooms
in America. The classic design, su-
perior materials, scientific appliances
for light and heat and air, the fine fa-
cilities for preserving, classifying and
cataloguing books, and the admirable
reading room makes the Charles E.
Slocum Building a model structure
for a University library.
Upon the opening of the Library
Building for the use of the students,
September 26th, 1898, there were upon
the shelves 26,300 volumes, exclusive
of unbound periodicals and pamphlets.
In addition to this number, the libra-
ry at Monnett Hall and the Depart-
mental libraries contain a large num-
ber of volumes which are available for
the use of students. These books are
distributed as follows:
1. Monnett Hall Library........2,589
2. Lacroix Memorial Library
Hebrew and German) ......... 792
3. Department of History Library 418
4. Edward Nelson Memorial Li-
brary (Zoological) ......... 62
5. Department of Physics Library 303
6. John Williams White Classical
Library (estimated) ........ 300
7. Library of School of Oratory 365
8. L.D. McCabe Library (Philo-
sophical) .................. 68
9. Library of Comparative Re-
ligions and Missions ....... 198
10. Chemical Laboratory Library 200
____
Total ...................... 5295
The total number of books, there-
fore, available for the use of students
is 31,595.
MONNETT HALL,
The Home for young women, is sit-
uated at a convenient walking dis-
tance from University Hall, on a beau-
tiful campus containing about ten
acres. The building is a large, brick
structure, well furnished throughout.
In addition to a sufficient number of
rooms or suites of rooms, to accommo-
date 225 young women, it contains li-
brary and reading room, gymnasium,
assembly room, Y. W. C. A.
hall, handsome parlors and three ele-
gant literary society halls.
An elevator is provided, and is op-
erated at such times as to remove, to
a large degree, all necessity of climb-
ing stairs.
Every room and corridor is furnish-
ed with steam heat and gas light. Hot
and cold water are supplied on every
floor.
A large, beautiful dining room, with
good service and nutritious and pala-
table food, supplements the other ex-
cellent appointments of this building.
Special mention is made of the very
valuable donation of pictures recently
made by Mrs. V.T. Hills, of Delaware,
Ohio, and placed in the corridors and
reception rooms of Monnett Hall. The
young ladies come into daily contact
with representations of the very best
works of the masters, which cannot
fail to develop the taste for that
which is purest and noblest in art.
In Monnett Hall the trustees have
aimed to provide for the young women
who attend the University a home, at-
tractive, and yet free from the cares
and distractions that often attend
home life. With this in view, nothing
is omitted in equipment or furnishing
that wisdom and experience demand.
The first care is to preserve the health,

single death has occurred. This fact
is the strongest evidence of the health-
fulness of the location, and of the
good sense and care exercised alike by
pupils and teachers. This remarkable
record as to health is due, in part at
least to the out-door exercise in walk-
ing provided daily, and to the opportu-
nities for scientific physical culture
under an experienced teacher.

For a regular literary course of stu-
dy the tuition or scholarship fee is
$12.00 per term, and the incidental fee

who gives her time wholly to any of

moral character, and with sufficient
knowledge to enter the classes organ-

dents, the Principal learns, by personal
questions, but without formal examin-
ation, what preparation the candidate
is seeking, and what studies he can
profitable pursue, and assigns him to
classes accordingly. The Principal re-
serves the right of advancing the pupil
or of placing him in lower classes, as
his recitation reveals his needs. Any

iar with the best methods of instruc-
tion. One can save time by entering
our Preparatory Department, where he
can pursue each study demanded for
entrance to the College, and where he
is not required to pursue studies not
needed for admission to the Freshman
class. Besides, young people doing
their preparatory work at Delaware
enjoy many advantages of the Univer-
sity, associate with classmates moving
toward the same goal, and feel the in-
spiration of college life. For special
information concerning the Preparato-
ry Department, address Prof. J.H.
Grove, Principal.
THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Affords an excellent training for a
practical career, and also opportuni-
ties for business training upon the
part of those who are completing the
college courses. It embraces courses
in Bookkeeping, Banking and Business
Practice, Commercial Law, Commer-
cial Arithmetic, Stenography, Type-
writing and Correspondence, Penman-
ship and Telegraphy. The curse of
study is equal to that offered by any
modern business college, and the stu-
dent in addition enjoys all the advan-
tages of the University. This depart-
ment has had a remarkable rapid
growth under its present efficient
Principal and his able corps of five as-
sistants. Many students are here se-
curing rapid preparation at small ex-
pense for successful business careers;
while professional students are secur-
ing that practical training which will
insure them the respect and co-opera-
tion of successful business men. The
department is open throughout the
year, and students can enter it at any
time. For special catalogue and full
particulars address L.L. Hudson, A.
M., Principal, Delaware, O.
THE ART DEPARTMENT
Has been organized recently, and plac-
ed in new quarters especially fitted and
equipped for art work. It embraces
classes in Drawing, Painting, Sketch-
ing, Wood-Carving, China-painting,
Tapestry-painting, and Decorative Art.
The thorough courses in History of
Art offered by the College furnish the
scientific principles for the apprecia-
tiion of the fine arts, and for the tech-
nical work of the Art Department.
These opportunities make the connec-
tiion of the Art Department with the
University of inestimable advantage to
art students. For further information
send for catalogue.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC.
The demands upon music teachers
in the matter of equipment for their
work have been greatly increased
within the past few years; and, in ac-
cordance with the spirit of the times,
the School of Music offers a course of
training which is intended to meet the
most exacting requirements.
In addition to the regular courses of
music study offered, we invite earnest
and candid consideration of the ad-
vantages to be derived by a music
student in pursuing his specialty in
connection with a University, where
art, literature and science blend, rath-
er than in a music school where these
great fields of culture are at best but
indifferently developed. It is the aim
of the School of Music to so arrange
the work that students in all depart-
ments of the University shall con-
stantly intermingle. The collateral
advantages secured to students in
special courses by this plan cannot be
overestimated.
SPECIAL CATALOGUE.
The School issues a special cata-
logue, which will be sent free to any
address on applicaton. This cata-
logue outlines the courses of study in
all branches leading to graduation,
prices of tuition, boarding facilities,
etc. Before deciding upon any other
music school we earnestly advise a
careful perusal of the catalogue of the
School of Music of the Ohio Wesleyan
University.

OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.
[image: GENERAL VIEW OF THE COLLEGE CAMPUS]
LOCATION.
Long before the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity was dreamed of, Delaware was
famed for beauty and for health.
The rolling ground, the mild climate
and the healing waters made this spot
the headquarters for rest and recrea-
tion for the Delaware Indians after
they had been driven from their east-
ern home. The first white settlers
soon learned that the fame of the sul-
phur springs rested not on Indian le-
gend, but on established facts. Presi-
dent Hayes, when visiting his old
friends in Delaware, was accustomed
to go each morning before breakfast
to the White Sulphur Spring on the
College Campus for a refreshing drink.
He often pronounced this water the
best in the land, and declared that the
Sulphur Spring would make a fortune
for the College, if the Trustees would
[image: UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL]
enclose it and employ a Barnum to
advertise its merits. Possibly his
judgment was slighly biased by the
fact that this was the spring of his
boyhood, and also by the fact that at
this spring young Hayes first met Lu-
cy Webb, the first girl admitted to the
College classes. Delaware was noted
as a watering place, until its reputa-
tion as a health resort was swallowed
up it its fame as a college town.
THE CITY
Of about ten thousand inhabitants, lo-
cated twenty-three miles north of co-
lumbus, is very near the geographical
center of Ohio. Railroads entering
Delaware by different routes make it
easy of access, while electric cars and
lights, shady streets, good schools,
[image: ASTRONOMICAL ONSERVATORY]
flourishing churches and beautiful
homes make it an almost ideal dwell-
ing place.
THE COLLEGE GROUNDS
Embrace the fine, rolling Campus in
the heart of the city, the beautiful
Monnett Campus in the west end, and
the picturesque Ob servatory Park,
forty-three acres in all.
BUILDINGS.
Thirteen substantial buildings, well
adapted to their purposes, stand upon
the college grounds. Our space per-
mits a description of only the four
latest additions to this stately group.
UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL.
The main building was completed in
1893. It is worth a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars. It is a massive Roman-
esque structure, one hundred and fifty
by one hundred and sixty feet in di-
mensions, four stories high, crowned
by a stately tower one hundred and
forty-eight feet in height. It unites
under one roof the administrative offi-
ces of the University, twelve recitation
rooms, six literary halls, lecture rooms
and Gray Chapel. This Chapel, with
its magnificent Roosevelt organ, has
been pronounced the most spacious
and beautiful college chapel in Amer-
ica. A noted educator who had vis-
ited the leading colleges in the United
States and Eurpose, pronounced Uni-
versity Hall and Gray Chapel the fin-
est college building in the land.
THE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERV-
ATORY
In Observatory Park, occupies the
most commanding site in the city. It
is a handsome pressed brick building,
with a frontage of sixty-two feet, con-
taining a transit room, clock room,
computing and library room and dome.
The telescope contains a refracting
glass nine and one-half inches in di-
ameter, made by J.W. Brashear for
exhibition at the World's Fair. As-
tronomical experts have pronounced it
in clearness of definition superior to
many noted glasses of twice its size.
It enables the student to see a far
larger number of worlds than could
Sir John Herschel, who delcared that
18,000,000 stars were within the range
of his monster telescope.
THE SLOCUM LIBRARY BUILDING
Is the central structure in the College
group. It is one hundred and fifteen
by one hundred and twenty-five feet
in dimensions, built of the famous
Bedford limestone, three stories high,
and fireproof throughout. The stack
room has an estimated capacity of 175,-
000 volumes, while the reading room,
sixty by one hundred feet, lighted
from above, is one of the largest and
most beautiful college reading rooms
in America. The classic design, su-
perior materials, scientific appliances
for light and heat and air, the fine fa-
cilities for preserving, classifying and
cataloguing books, and the admirable
reading room makes the Charles E.
Slocum Building a model structure
for a University library.
Upon the opening of the Library
Building for the use of the students,
September 26th, 1898, there were upon
the shelves 26,300 volumes, exclusive
of unbound periodicals and pamphlets.
In addition to this number, the libra-
ry at Monnett Hall and the Depart-
mental libraries contain a large num-
ber of volumes which are available for
the use of students. These books are
distributed as follows:
1. Monnett Hall Library........2,589
2. Lacroix Memorial Library

Total ...................... 5295
The total number of books, there-
fore, available for the use of students
is 31,595.
MONNETT HALL,
The Home for young women, is sit-
uated at a convenient walking dis-
tance from University Hall, on a beau-
tiful campus containing about ten
acres. The building is a large, brick
structure, well furnished throughout.
In addition to a sufficient number of
rooms or suites of rooms, to accommo-
date 225 young women, it contains li-
brary and reading room, gymnasium,
assembly room, Y. W. C. A.
hall, handsome parlors and three ele-
gant literary society halls.
An elevator is provided, and is op-
erated at such times as to remove, to
a large degree, all necessity of climb-
ing stairs.
Every room and corridor is furnish-
ed with steam heat and gas light. Hot
and cold water are supplied on every
floor.
A large, beautiful dining room, with
good service and nutritious and pala-
table food, supplements the other ex-
cellent appointments of this building.
Special mention is made of the very
valuable donation of pictures recently
made by Mrs. V.T. Hills, of Delaware,
Ohio, and placed in the corridors and
reception rooms of Monnett Hall. The
young ladies come into daily contact
with representations of the very best
works of the masters, which cannot
fail to develop the taste for that
which is purest and noblest in art.
In Monnett Hall the trustees have
aimed to provide for the young women
who attend the University a home, at-
tractive, and yet free from the cares
and distractions that often attend
home life. With this in view, nothing
is omitted in equipment or furnishing
that wisdom and experience demand.
The first care is to preserve the health,
and to have all observe the proper
habits of living. Such regulations are
[image: THE SLOCUM LIBRARY]

be essential to the best care of the
body, to the most rapid progress in
study, and to the highest development
of character. In case of illness, the

care of a competent nurse.

THE SCHOOL OF ORATORY.
Under the charge of an experienced
Dean and able assistants, offers an ex-
tended and thorough course in all
branches pertaining to the art of ex-
pression. The school seeks attain-
ments rather than numbers. It con-
fers its degrees only upon college grad-
uates, thus maintaining a standard
equal to the highest professional
schools, a standard not maintained by
any other school of oratory in the
land. It aims to fit its pupils for the
large and increasing demand for cul-
tivated teachers of oratory in the
schools and colleges of the land; and
to prepare ministers, lecturers, elocu-
tionists and lawyers for greater influ-
ence and usefulness in the higher
walks of life. The instruction is given
by principles, which are applied from
the first lesson, thus making the stu-
dents' work practical throughout. All
attempts to make form take the place
of fact, and art the place of truth, are
discouraged. The exercises are pre-
scribed for the purpose of freeing na-
ture's avenues of expression, and of
enabling the student to present with
clearness and grace and power the con-
victions which he holds.
[image: MONNETT HALL CORIDOR.]
The School of Oratory has lately
been incorporated as one of the regu-
lar departments of the University.
For details of work address Profess-
or Robert I. Fulton, A.M., Delaware,
Ohio.
COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS --
COURSES OF STUDY.
A careful study of the various courses
will show that while the College offers
a large range of electives, yet each
curriculum presents a strong, well-
rounded system of prescribed studies.
All educators advise young people not
to be in such haste in entering upon
technical or professional studies as to
neglect the foundations of culture.
Following the conviction arising from
many years of educational work, and
reinforced by the judgment of others,
the Faculty of the Ohio Wesleyan
University has not made provision for
that superficial education which re-
sults from excessive specialization.
It insists that the graduates of this
University shall lay broad and deep
the foundations of general culture.
Upon the other hand, the University
recognizes the desire of students who
have decided upon their professions,
to select studies which will advance
them in their preparation for profes-
sional careers. Again, elective cours-
es enable students who have not deci-
ded upon professional careers to se-
cure, along with their general studies,
special training in those subjects for
which they have tastes and talents.
The student is expected to spend sev-
enteen hours per week in recitations,
and thus to complete seventeen term
hours of work per term, fifty-one term
hours per year, and two hundred and
four term hours during the college
course.
GRADUATE COURSES.
Our facilities for doing resident
graduate work are not such as to war-
rant us in encouraging college graduates
to come to us for post-graduate in-
struction. In certain cases we mark
out non-resident work leading to the
master's degree for those who have
done their undergraduate work, and
whose general scholarship and capac-
ity for study are such as to warrant
their effort to secure advanced de-
grees. In no case do we grant the
doctorate of philosophy for non-resi-
dent work.

THE CLEVELAND COLLEGE OF
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.
The College was organized in 1863,
under the title, The Charity Hospital
Medical College. In 1869 the College
became the Medical Department of the
University of Wooster. In 1896, the
College terminated honorable its con-
nection with the University of Woos-
ter, adopted its present name, and be-
came the Medical Department of the
Ohio Wesleyan University.
The most attractive feature of the
College in the eyes of medical stu-
dents has been its clincial advantages.
The Cleveland College of Physicians
land College of Physicians and Sur-
geons. In addition to one hundred
beds fitted up in the rooms for private
patients, the Faculty of the Medical
College receive from twelve to fifteen
thousand patients a year at the Free
Dispensary, which is maintained in
connection with the General Hospital.
The vast advantage of actual practice
for the acquisition of a real knowl-
edge of medicine cannot be overesti-
mated, and the clinical advantages of
and Surgeons, and the other leading
medical school in that large and grow-
ing city, enjoy equal advantages in the
City Hospital of Cleveland. In addi-
tion to these large clinical advantages,
the students in our Medical Depart-
ment enjoy exclusive advantages in
the Cleveland General Hospital, which
is owned by the Faculty of the Cleve-
the Cleveland College of Physicians
and Surgeons are perhaps unsurpassed
by those of any other medical school in
the United States. These advantages
have drawn students from other medi-
cal schools to our College for the last
year of their medical training.
For special catalogue, write to the
Dean, Charles B. Parker, M.D., Cleve-
land, Ohio.
GENERAL INFORMATION -- RELIG-
IOUS LIFE.
The University has held from the
beginning that education demands the
development of all one's powers --
physical, mental and spiritual. The
aim of all true education is to train
young people for their future lives.
Hence any college which does not dis-
tinctly aim at the moral and spiritual
as well as at the mental and physical
development of the students will fail
to fit them for the highest usefulness
and blessedness for time and for eter-
nity. The Ohio Wesleyan University,
therefore, has always aimed to pro-
mote and earnest, noble type of piety.
A large majority of its students are
church members. The chapel services,
the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.,
the Kings' Daughters, class prayer-
meetings, classes for Bible study and
the annual revival services provide for
the spiritual needs of the students, as
the literary societies, lecture courses
and art recitals minister to their in-
tellectual and aesthetic needs. The
Day of Prayer for Colleges is a red-
letter day in the college year. Relig-
ion in the University is natural and
unaffected. Cant and hypocrisy are
almost imposible [page torn] at-
mosphere of student life. The College
constantly strives to develop a prac-
tical type of piety good for seven days
in the week and for twenty-four hours
each day. The constant presentation
of such ideals is of priceless value to
the young.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Gymnasium has been refitted
with shower baths and lockers, and
all the apparatus necessary for class
exercise. It will be thrown open for
the use of students at the beginning
of the winter term. A number of
classes will be organized, and system-
atic exercises given by trained instruc-
tors.
The athletic field is one of the best
in the country, and affords fine facili-
ties for base ball and foot ball prac-
tice.
The Military Department is open to
all young men who desire to elect the
course, but the work is not required of
any.

[image: MONNETT HALL -- A Home for Young Ladies.]
THE SCHOOL OF ORATORY.
Under the charge of an experienced
Dean and able assistants, offers an ex-
tended and thorough course in all
branches pertaining to the art of ex-
pression. The school seeks attain-
ments rather than numbers. It con-
fers its degrees only upon college grad-
uates, thus maintaining a standard
equal to the highest professional
schools, a standard not maintained by
any other school of oratory in the
land. It aims to fit its pupils for the
large and increasing demand for cul-
tivated teachers of oratory in the
schools and colleges of the land; and
to prepare ministers, lecturers, elocu-
tionists and lawyers for greater influ-
ence and usefulness in the higher
walks of life. The instruction is given
by principles, which are applied from
the first lesson, thus making the stu-
dents' work practical throughout. All
attempts to make form take the place
of fact, and art the place of truth, are
discouraged. The exercises are pre-
scribed for the purpose of freeing na-
ture's avenues of expression, and of
enabling the student to present with
clearness and grace and power the con-
victions which he holds.
[image: MONNETT HALL CORIDOR.]
The School of Oratory has lately
been incorporated as one of the regu-
lar departments of the University.
For details of work address Profess-
or Robert I. Fulton, A.M., Delaware,
Ohio.
COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS --
COURSES OF STUDY.
A careful study of the various courses
will show that while the College offers
a large range of electives, yet each
curriculum presents a strong, well-
rounded system of prescribed studies.
All educators advise young people not
to be in such haste in entering upon
technical or professional studies as to
neglect the foundations of culture.
Following the conviction arising from
many years of educational work, and
reinforced by the judgment of others,
the Faculty of the Ohio Wesleyan
University has not made provision for
that superficial education which re-
sults from excessive specialization.
It insists that the graduates of this
University shall lay broad and deep
the foundations of general culture.
Upon the other hand, the University
recognizes the desire of students who
have decided upon their professions,
to select studies which will advance
them in their preparation for profes-
sional careers. Again, elective cours-
es enable students who have not deci-
ded upon professional careers to se-
cure, along with their general studies,
special training in those subjects for
which they have tastes and talents.
The student is expected to spend sev-
enteen hours per week in recitations,
and thus to complete seventeen term
hours of work per term, fifty-one term
hours per year, and two hundred and
four term hours during the college
course.
GRADUATE COURSES.
Our facilities for doing resident
graduate work are not such as to war-
rant us in encouraging college graduates
to come to us for post-graduate in-
struction. In certain cases we mark
out non-resident work leading to the
master's degree for those who have
done their undergraduate work, and
whose general scholarship and capac-
ity for study are such as to warrant
their effort to secure advanced de-
grees. In no case do we grant the
doctorate of philosophy for non-resi-
dent work.

THE CLEVELAND COLLEGE OF
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.
The College was organized in 1863,
under the title, The Charity Hospital
Medical College. In 1869 the College
became the Medical Department of the
University of Wooster. In 1896, the
College terminated honorable its con-
nection with the University of Woos-
ter, adopted its present name, and be-
came the Medical Department of the
Ohio Wesleyan University.
The most attractive feature of the
College in the eyes of medical stu-
dents has been its clincial advantages.
The Cleveland College of Physicians
land College of Physicians and Sur-
geons. In addition to one hundred
beds fitted up in the rooms for private
patients, the Faculty of the Medical
College receive from twelve to fifteen
thousand patients a year at the Free
Dispensary, which is maintained in
connection with the General Hospital.
The vast advantage of actual practice
for the acquisition of a real knowl-
edge of medicine cannot be overesti-
mated, and the clinical advantages of
and Surgeons, and the other leading
medical school in that large and grow-
ing city, enjoy equal advantages in the
City Hospital of Cleveland. In addi-
tion to these large clinical advantages,
the students in our Medical Depart-
ment enjoy exclusive advantages in
the Cleveland General Hospital, which
is owned by the Faculty of the Cleve-
the Cleveland College of Physicians
and Surgeons are perhaps unsurpassed
by those of any other medical school in
the United States. These advantages
have drawn students from other medi-
cal schools to our College for the last
year of their medical training.
For special catalogue, write to the
Dean, Charles B. Parker, M.D., Cleve-
land, Ohio.
GENERAL INFORMATION -- RELIG-
IOUS LIFE.
The University has held from the
beginning that education demands the
development of all one's powers --
physical, mental and spiritual. The
aim of all true education is to train
young people for their future lives.
Hence any college which does not dis-
tinctly aim at the moral and spiritual
as well as at the mental and physical
development of the students will fail
to fit them for the highest usefulness
and blessedness for time and for eter-
nity. The Ohio Wesleyan University,
therefore, has always aimed to pro-
mote and earnest, noble type of piety.
A large majority of its students are
church members. The chapel services,
the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.,
the Kings' Daughters, class prayer-
meetings, classes for Bible study and
the annual revival services provide for
the spiritual needs of the students, as
the literary societies, lecture courses
and art recitals minister to their in-
tellectual and aesthetic needs. The
Day of Prayer for Colleges is a red-
letter day in the college year. Relig-
ion in the University is natural and
unaffected. Cant and hypocrisy are
almost imposible [page torn] at-
mosphere of student life. The College
constantly strives to develop a prac-
tical type of piety good for seven days
in the week and for twenty-four hours
each day. The constant presentation
of such ideals is of priceless value to
the young.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Gymnasium has been refitted
with shower baths and lockers, and
all the apparatus necessary for class
exercise. It will be thrown open for
the use of students at the beginning
of the winter term. A number of
classes will be organized, and system-
atic exercises given by trained instruc-
tors.
The athletic field is one of the best
in the country, and affords fine facili-
ties for base ball and foot ball prac-
tice.
The Military Department is open to
all young men who desire to elect the
course, but the work is not required of
any.

LOCOMOTIVES, PASSENGER COACHES AND FREIGHT CARS ARE BUILT AND REPAIRED -- INTEREST-
ING DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT -- TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN EMPLOYED.
[image: SHOPS, YARDS AND PASSENGER STATION.]
Among the largest and most active
industries of Delaware, and one which
probably contributes more to the
financial welfare of the laboring class
than any other, is the C.C.C. & St. L.
Railway, or Big Four shops, now un-
der the careful superintendency of
the Company's skilled Master Mechan-
ic, Mr. Mason Rickert.
These shops cover a large space of
ground just north of Central avenue,
and east of Lake street, and comprise
eight separate buildings, each depart-
ment being separated from the others
in such a manner as not to interfere
with their respective duties, and at
[illegible] direct communi-
cation for the convenient interchange
of labor and material.
The main building, a large brick
structure, contains the four depart-
ments, Machinery, Boiler, Smith and
Tin, besides the engine room, con-
taining two immense boilers, which
furnish the propelling power for the
heavy machinery, as well as steam
heat for all the shop buildings and the
passenger depot.
THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT,
which is under the direct supervision
of Mr. M. Anderson, the courteous
General Foreman, and his two able as-
sistants, Messrs. Fred Lugger and Jas.
Fahey, with its many whirling wheels,
huge machines, and clatter of hammer
and chisel, always presents a scene of
activity. Here locomotives are be-
ing built, overhauled and repaired
constantly, the most interesting case
in hand at present being the building
of a new locomotive, which, when it
makes its debut in the course of ten
days or two weeks, will be known as
engine No. 122. The engine is a credit
to those in charge of the work, and is
expected to make very fast time with
a heavy train. No. 122 will be an
8-wheel passenger engine, with 58-
inch boiler, cylinders 18 x 24 inchees,
and driving wheels 5 ft. 4œ in, in di-
ameter. It will be fully equipped with
automatic couplers and air brakes, a
No. 9 Monitor and a No. 9 Mack in-
jector, and the latest pattern of the
Nathan Triple-feed lubricator. In ad-
dition to the above, the engine will be
equipped with the Curtis automatic
sanding apparatus, and an automatic
air bell-ringer, both of which are op-
erated by a simple "turn of the but-
ton" by the engineer from his seat in
the cab.
In this department the air brakes of
all classes of equipment, so necessary
to the safety of employes and the
traveling classes, are looked after by
competent hands who are required to
pass an annual examination in order
to hold the position. Car and locomo-
tive wheels are changed, bolts cut and
threaded, brasses turned up, and heavy
pieces of iron and steel planed, bored
and made ready, each for its particular
use.
Passing to the next room, we come
to
THE BOILER DEPARTMENT.
where, under the supervisiion of fore-
man Chas. Kraus and his assistants,
huge boilrs and fire boxes are prepar-
ed for the locomotives, two large fire
boxes being under curse of construc-
tion at present. In this department
smokestacks of locomotives and count-
less numbers of boiler tubes or flues
are being prepared for use annually.
Passing on around, we find conve-
nient to this department,
[image: MASON RICKERT, MASTER MECHANIC]
THE BLACKSMITH DEPARTMENT,
where, under the direction of foreman
Frank Peck, we find men busy with
hammer and sledge, converting shape-
less masses of iron and steel into most
essential parts of both cars and loco-
motives, as also doing all the general
work known in the art of smithing.
An especially interesting sight in the
evening are the red-hot furnaces, and
the smiths handling and welding the
large locomotive frames, each weigh-
ing 3,000 pounds, and putting them in
readiness for their respective purposes.
In this same building we find
THE TIN AND PIPE FITTING DE-
PARTMENT,
under the direction of foreman Fred
Heilman, where the men are busily
engaged in the manufacture of lamps,
buckets, oil cans, torches, packing,
etc., and also doing a general line of
repairing and refitting.
THE COACH DEPARTMENT,
under the management of foreman Ja-
cob Eichhorn, occupies three separate
buildings. Here the parlor, coach,
baggage and mail cars, after a number
of months' service, are brought to be
overhauled, cleaned, all defective
parts removed and replaced by new,
and the cars put in first-class condi-
tion, a number of them being practi-
cally new when they are again allowed
to leave the shop for service.
In one building, the planing, match-
ing, mortising and metal cleaning and
polsihing is done; while in a second
building the fitting and erection of
work is going on; and in the third the
overhauling and repairs to the trucks
of cars is done. Locomotive pilots and
cabs are also made in the former of
these buildings. And in connection
with this is the
UPHOLSTERING DEPARTMENT,
where, under the direction of foreman
H.G. Thomas, the chairs, cushions,
and backs and seats of parlor cars and
coaches are made as comfortable as
possible for the traveling public. In
this department engine and caboose
cushions are also made; curtains of
all classes of equipment cleaned and
repaired, and plush, after becoming
worn and travel-stained, is dyed and
again made presentable by the steam
process. After leaving the hands of
the repair men and the upholsterers,
the cars are turned over to
THE PAINT DEPARTMENT.
Here, under the supervision of fore-
man Chas. Becker, a force of twenty-
five men are kept busy at burning off-
the old paint, painting, cleaning and
varnishing the cars. This force puts
out an average of eight or nine passen-
ger cars per month, besides doing a
good business in the painting of
freight cars and locomotives, and pre-
sents quite a hiave of industry in it-
self.
THE FREIGHT CARE DEPARTMENT.
This department is under the imme-
diate direction of foreman S.L. Farm-
er, and has principally to do with the
re-building, repairing, inspection and
oiling of all freight equipment for cars
belonging to foreign roads as well as
to the Big Four which arrive at this
point. An average of about five hun-

dred freight cars are repaired and
again turned into service by this de-
partment every month, besides the
building and repairing of locomotive
tenders, which is also assigned to this
branch.
THE ENGINE HOUSE DEPART-
MENT.
Is under the charge of foreman P.
Egan and J.J. O'Connor. In this de-
partment the cleaning, inspection and
washing out of locomotives is looked
after, as also the handling, transfer-
ring and preparing of them for their
respective service.

Mr. Geo. Coyner, Delaware County's
present Prosecutor, was born in Vir-
ginia. At the close of the civil war
he moved with his father to Eden, this
county, where he has resided ever
since, until moving to the city of Del-
[line torn] upon obtain-
ing his majority. Mr. Coyner was
elected to the office of Township Clerk,
which position he occupied for five
consecutive years. He was then ap-
pointed Superintendent of the Dela-
ware County Infirmary, which position
he filled for four years. He then devo-
ted his attention to the completion of
his law course which he accomplished
in 1893 by graduating from the Cincin-
nati Colleg of Law, and in 1894 was elected to hs present position of Pros-
ecutor. As a lawyer, the success he
has achieved is his greatest commen-
dation.
[image: DLEAWARE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.]
The first Presbyterian Church in
Delaware was organized under the au-
thority of the Presbytery of Chilli-
cothe, by Rev. Joseph S. Hughs, in
1810, with a membership of fourteen
members. Mr. Hughs was its pastor
for thirteen years, and was suceeded
in 1824 gby Rev. Henry Van Deman. In
1838, during Mr. VanDeman's pastor-
ate, the division occurred between the
Old and New School Presbyterians. In
1841 fifty-four members left the First
church, and organized the Second,
Mr. VanDeman continuing pastor of
the former, or old school, until 1861,
hwere he resigned, a ministry extend-
ing over thirty-seven years.
REv. Franklin Putnam was the first
pastor of the Second church. he was
succeeded by Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle in
1845; Rev. Charles Torrey from 1845
to 1850; Rev. G. Dana till 1852; Rev. C
H. DeLong till 1885. Rev. O.H. New-
ton was pastor from 1855 to 1869.
On the reunion of the two schools in
the General Assembly in 1869, the two
Delaware churches took steps for a re-
union, and in June, 1870, the Delaware
Presbyterian Church was organized out
of the two churches by an act of the
Legislature. The building on Winter
street, between Sandusky and Frank-
[image: Job Printing

lin, worshipped in by the congrega-
tion of the Second church for twenty-
eight years, was sold, and the united
congregations occupied the First
church building. Rev. C.W. Matter
filled the pulpit of the First church
church building. Rev. C.W. Mateer
Millen succeeded him, and resigned in
1867. Rev. J. Lower was then stated
supply for one year, and was followed
by Rev. David Kingery, who served the
church till 1869.
In February, 1870, Rev. R.F. Mc-
Laren became pastor of the united
congregations, and resigned in 1873.
He was succeeded by Rev. N.S. Smith,
who remained until 1878. During his
pastorate, the church building was re-
modeled and improved at a cost of
$12,000. Rev. A.D. Hawn, D.D., was
called to the pastorate, in December,
1878, and entered upon his duties the
following January, which he has ably
and acceptably performed ever since.
Under his charge, the church
has prospered spiritually and tempo-
raly, and the congregation is one of
the largest and strongest in the city.
The substantial brick edifice, as
shown in the above engraving, is com-
modious and comfortable, and a credit

[image: SHOPS, YARDS AND PASSENGER STATION.]
Among the largest and most active
industries of Delaware, and one which
probably contributes more to the
financial welfare of the laboring class
than any other, is the C.C.C. & St. L.
Railway, or Big Four shops, now un-
der the careful superintendency of
the Company's skilled Master Mechan-
ic, Mr. Mason Rickert.
These shops cover a large space of
ground just north of Central avenue,
and east of Lake street, and comprise
eight separate buildings, each depart-
ment being separated from the others
in such a manner as not to interfere
with their respective duties, and at
[illegible] direct communi-
cation for the convenient interchange
of labor and material.
The main building, a large brick
structure, contains the four depart-
ments, Machinery, Boiler, Smith and
Tin, besides the engine room, con-
taining two immense boilers, which
furnish the propelling power for the
heavy machinery, as well as steam
heat for all the shop buildings and the
passenger depot.
THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT,
which is under the direct supervision
of Mr. M. Anderson, the courteous
General Foreman, and his two able as-
sistants, Messrs. Fred Lugger and Jas.
Fahey, with its many whirling wheels,
huge machines, and clatter of hammer
and chisel, always presents a scene of
activity. Here locomotives are be-
ing built, overhauled and repaired
constantly, the most interesting case
in hand at present being the building
of a new locomotive, which, when it
makes its debut in the course of ten
days or two weeks, will be known as
engine No. 122. The engine is a credit
to those in charge of the work, and is
expected to make very fast time with
a heavy train. No. 122 will be an
8-wheel passenger engine, with 58-
inch boiler, cylinders 18 x 24 inchees,
and driving wheels 5 ft. 4œ in, in di-
ameter. It will be fully equipped with
automatic couplers and air brakes, a
No. 9 Monitor and a No. 9 Mack in-
jector, and the latest pattern of the
Nathan Triple-feed lubricator. In ad-
dition to the above, the engine will be
equipped with the Curtis automatic
sanding apparatus, and an automatic
air bell-ringer, both of which are op-
erated by a simple "turn of the but-
ton" by the engineer from his seat in
the cab.
In this department the air brakes of
all classes of equipment, so necessary
to the safety of employes and the
traveling classes, are looked after by
competent hands who are required to
pass an annual examination in order
to hold the position. Car and locomo-
tive wheels are changed, bolts cut and
threaded, brasses turned up, and heavy
pieces of iron and steel planed, bored
and made ready, each for its particular
use.
Passing to the next room, we come
to
THE BOILER DEPARTMENT.
where, under the supervisiion of fore-
man Chas. Kraus and his assistants,
huge boilrs and fire boxes are prepar-
ed for the locomotives, two large fire
boxes being under curse of construc-
tion at present. In this department
smokestacks of locomotives and count-
less numbers of boiler tubes or flues
are being prepared for use annually.
Passing on around, we find conve-
nient to this department,
[image: MASON RICKERT, MASTER MECHANIC]
THE BLACKSMITH DEPARTMENT,
where, under the direction of foreman
Frank Peck, we find men busy with
hammer and sledge, converting shape-
less masses of iron and steel into most
essential parts of both cars and loco-
motives, as also doing all the general
work known in the art of smithing.
An especially interesting sight in the
evening are the red-hot furnaces, and
the smiths handling and welding the
large locomotive frames, each weigh-
ing 3,000 pounds, and putting them in
readiness for their respective purposes.
In this same building we find
THE TIN AND PIPE FITTING DE-
PARTMENT,
under the direction of foreman Fred
Heilman, where the men are busily
engaged in the manufacture of lamps,
buckets, oil cans, torches, packing,
etc., and also doing a general line of
repairing and refitting.
THE COACH DEPARTMENT,
under the management of foreman Ja-
cob Eichhorn, occupies three separate
buildings. Here the parlor, coach,
baggage and mail cars, after a number
of months' service, are brought to be
overhauled, cleaned, all defective
parts removed and replaced by new,
and the cars put in first-class condi-
tion, a number of them being practi-
cally new when they are again allowed
to leave the shop for service.
In one building, the planing, match-
ing, mortising and metal cleaning and
polsihing is done; while in a second
building the fitting and erection of
work is going on; and in the third the
overhauling and repairs to the trucks
of cars is done. Locomotive pilots and
cabs are also made in the former of
these buildings. And in connection
with this is the
UPHOLSTERING DEPARTMENT,
where, under the direction of foreman
H.G. Thomas, the chairs, cushions,
and backs and seats of parlor cars and
coaches are made as comfortable as
possible for the traveling public. In
this department engine and caboose
cushions are also made; curtains of
all classes of equipment cleaned and
repaired, and plush, after becoming
worn and travel-stained, is dyed and
again made presentable by the steam
process. After leaving the hands of
the repair men and the upholsterers,
the cars are turned over to
THE PAINT DEPARTMENT.
Here, under the supervision of fore-
man Chas. Becker, a force of twenty-
five men are kept busy at burning off-
the old paint, painting, cleaning and
varnishing the cars. This force puts
out an average of eight or nine passen-
ger cars per month, besides doing a
good business in the painting of
freight cars and locomotives, and pre-
sents quite a hiave of industry in it-
self.
THE FREIGHT CARE DEPARTMENT.
This department is under the imme-
diate direction of foreman S.L. Farm-
er, and has principally to do with the
re-building, repairing, inspection and
oiling of all freight equipment for cars
belonging to foreign roads as well as
to the Big Four which arrive at this
point. An average of about five hun-

Attorney-at-Law, was born in Dela-
ware, Ohio, Feb. 12th, 1832, son of
Rev. Henry and Sarah VanDeman; his
father a native of Pennsylvania; his
mother of Kentucky. Mr. VanDeman
was admitted to the Delaware Bar in
1854m having graduated at O. W. U. in
1851. He served as Prosecuting Attor-
ney of the county for two terms, and
has had a most successful career as an
attorney. He was a director and one
of the organizers of the C. H. V. & T.

been counsel for that road. He has
retired from active practice of law,
but is yet President of the Fidelity
Loan Co., Vice President and Director
of the First National Bank, and Pres-
ident of the Board of Trustees of the
Diocese of Southern Ohio.
In 1898 he was Republican candidate
for Judge in this Judicial Circuit, and
very largely reduced the district's
heavy Democratic majority.
Mr. VanDeman lives in his beautiful
home on North Sandusky street, (a
picture of which residence appears in

THE CITY SCHOOLS.
AN INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE LAST FORTY YEARS OF THEIR
EXISTENCE.
Perhaps there is no better way to
estimate the growth and advancement
of our fair city, than by looking back-
ward for the last forty years, and no-
ting the requirements and facilities
for school purposes at that period,
and comparing them with the present
equipment and advantages. Progress
has quietly and steadily been made.
As accommodations became restrict-
ed, new quarters and buildings have
been furnished. In the summer of
1861, "Old Central" was completed,
and in September of that year was
first occupied. Nothing can be said in
praise of the building or location. It
was simply a demand and a supply.
All the children north of Spring St.,
to the western and northern limits of
the corporation, and for some distance
east over the river, were crowded
within its rooms, which numbered on-
ly six at first. In 1874, the wings on
the east and west were built up, add-
ing two rooms, and when, in '83,
while plans were being formulated for
the present High School, the over-
crowded conditions demanded more
room, the frame building on the west
came quickly into existence, and ser-
ved the higher grades until the High
School was ready for occupancy, Jan.
1, 1886.
In 1865, two rooms in a small frame
house, were all that East Delaware
could boast of for school purposes.
The North had no building at that
time. The South were quartered in
three rooms of the old academy, and
an additional colored school of one or
two rooms in a brick building near by
The North building was erected in the
late sixties, the East building follow-
ing soon after, and some years later,
when greatly straitened for room, the
South building was planned and com-
pleted.
There were heroic men on the Board
at that time, who against adverse crit-
icism, persisted in carrying out their
plans in giving that part of the town
the best of all the buildings used for
school purposes. The wisdom of the
board was long since acknowledged,
and a building fair to look upon, with
neat and pleasant surroundings, has
for years been shedding an uncon-
scious influence upon that part of the
town. The North building has under-
gone changes, being nearly rebuilt in
'88, and since, has enlarged its accom-
modations. South Delaware, too, has
added rooms for the increased attend-
ance.
The School Board through all these
years has been made up of the repre-
sentative men of Delaware, who, with
scarcely a single exception, have been
men of broad ideas and wide sympa-
thies, untiringly giving of time and
thought and service for the welfare of
our schools. Rev. O.H. Newton, H.M.
Carper and Mr. Henry Eaton were the
men comprising the Board in "65. For
more than a score of years, Prof. W.G.
Williams was a member of the Board,
[illegible] it his culture and maturi-
ty of thought, which was ever like a
benediction in its influence. With him
was associated for a number of years,
Dr. T.B. Williams, who always had a
kind word or smile for teacher or pu-
pil, and whose sympathies were as
broad as humanity's needs. Mr. Jas.
Barnes -- with an ever abiding interest
in the schools. Dr. Hyatt served one
term faithfully and well, and Mr. E.E.
Neff gave untiring service for several
terms. Mr. Cyrus Platt, the faithful
Christian gentleman, was a member of
the Board a number of years, and all
will recall Mr. Samuel Lybrand, who
passed out of this life while a member
of the Board. Those serving during
later years are all well known in Dela-
ware as men of character and ability,
looking well after the best interests of
our schools.
Of the six superintendents since the
opening of "Old Central" in 1861, the
office for the first two years was filled
by a Mr. Banks, followed in the two
succeeding years by Mr. William Car-
ter, father of our well known citizen,
Mr. George H. Carter. In September,
1865, Rev. J.S. Campbell came into our
schools from Charleston, Clark county,
where he head served a few years as
superintendent. The citizens who can
recall the school life of the pas thir-
ty-five years, know well the sure,
steady progress of our schools. Mr.
Campbell was a conservative man,
never adopting new measures because
of popularity but, instead, always
looked after the things and methods
which would conserve the best inter-
ests of all. To his teachers he always
emphatically said: "The schools are
for the children," and so their good
was paramount to all else. The pu-
pils loved and respected him. He was
firm and just, but kind in all his in-
tercourse with them and; so after the
school life was done, and many had
found homes elsewhere, no visit to
Delaware was complete until their
teacher of former years had been
sought cut and thanked for his pains-
taking care and instruction. The last
years of his life were marked with a
growing tenderness and regard for
friends and all connected with the
schools. He resigned his position the
last of January, 1891 and on March
4th following he passed from the ac-
tive scenes of life here, to enter upon
the employments and enjoyments of
the life beyond, and where he again
met those of the "lost and gone,"
teachers and pupils, with whose life he
had been associated here.
The scores of teachers that have
been connected with our schools can
not be mentioned here. Some have
"passed on," and joined loved pupils

years of her life as Principal of the
High School, giving of the best things
of her noble Christian nature to her
pupils, taking the deepest interest in
their temporal, intellectual and spirit-
ual welfare, is still in another sphere
of Christian work for the benefit of
others. Miss Eliza Grove was an un-
tiring, enthusiastic, thorough teacher
for many years, always giving the best
of herself, and gaining the love and
esteem of her pupils. Mrs. M.A. Car-
der has taught many years, and is a
very successful teacher in the Primary
grade. Of those giving years of faith-
ful service, may be mentioned Miss
Ginevra Humphries, so capable in
drawing and music, and who for many
years gave instruction in writing. Al-
so Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Widman, Miss
Crickard, Miss Pratt, Miss Palmer,
Miss Oldham, Miss McCann and Miss
Latham and Miss Estill have good
time-serving records. Mrs. M.J. Pow-
ers, the pioneer teacher, is filling out
her thirty-fifth year in the Primary
Grade. Mention should be made of
Miss Wharton, long connected with
the schools, gentle, refined, and every
Christian, almost gave up her life in
the school room, living but a few days
after resigning. Good mention might
be made of every teacher, but there is
not time nor room. Their works tes-
tify of their ability and faithfulness.
The pupils of our schools are in all
parts of our broad land, and some in
the far-off lands beyond the seas.
Many business men of our town were
former pupils, and some in many plac-
es are occupying high positions. The
influence of our schools will last for-
ever. May it ever be for the highest
good of all coming within its power.

for school purposes at that period,
and comparing them with the present
equipment and advantages. Progress
has quietly and steadily been made.
As accommodations became restrict-
ed, new quarters and buildings have
been furnished. In the summer of
1861, "Old Central" was completed,
and in September of that year was
first occupied. Nothing can be said in
praise of the building or location. It
was simply a demand and a supply.
All the children north of Spring St.,
to the western and northern limits of
the corporation, and for some distance
east over the river, were crowded
within its rooms, which numbered on-
ly six at first. In 1874, the wings on
the east and west were built up, add-
ing two rooms, and when, in '83,
while plans were being formulated for
the present High School, the over-
crowded conditions demanded more
room, the frame building on the west
came quickly into existence, and ser-
ved the higher grades until the High
School was ready for occupancy, Jan.
1, 1886.
In 1865, two rooms in a small frame
house, were all that East Delaware
could boast of for school purposes.
The North had no building at that
time. The South were quartered in
three rooms of the old academy, and
an additional colored school of one or
two rooms in a brick building near by
The North building was erected in the
late sixties, the East building follow-
ing soon after, and some years later,
when greatly straitened for room, the
South building was planned and com-
pleted.
There were heroic men on the Board
at that time, who against adverse crit-
icism, persisted in carrying out their
plans in giving that part of the town
the best of all the buildings used for
school purposes. The wisdom of the
board was long since acknowledged,
and a building fair to look upon, with
neat and pleasant surroundings, has
for years been shedding an uncon-
scious influence upon that part of the
town. The North building has under-
gone changes, being nearly rebuilt in
'88, and since, has enlarged its accom-
modations. South Delaware, too, has
added rooms for the increased attend-
ance.
The School Board through all these
years has been made up of the repre-
sentative men of Delaware, who, with
scarcely a single exception, have been
men of broad ideas and wide sympa-
thies, untiringly giving of time and
thought and service for the welfare of
our schools. Rev. O.H. Newton, H.M.
Carper and Mr. Henry Eaton were the
men comprising the Board in "65. For
more than a score of years, Prof. W.G.
Williams was a member of the Board,
[illegible] it his culture and maturi-
ty of thought, which was ever like a
benediction in its influence. With him
was associated for a number of years,
Dr. T.B. Williams, who always had a
kind word or smile for teacher or pu-
pil, and whose sympathies were as
broad as humanity's needs. Mr. Jas.
Barnes -- with an ever abiding interest
in the schools. Dr. Hyatt served one
term faithfully and well, and Mr. E.E.
Neff gave untiring service for several
terms. Mr. Cyrus Platt, the faithful
Christian gentleman, was a member of
the Board a number of years, and all
will recall Mr. Samuel Lybrand, who
passed out of this life while a member
of the Board. Those serving during
later years are all well known in Dela-
ware as men of character and ability,
looking well after the best interests of
our schools.
Of the six superintendents since the
opening of "Old Central" in 1861, the
office for the first two years was filled
by a Mr. Banks, followed in the two
succeeding years by Mr. William Car-
ter, father of our well known citizen,
Mr. George H. Carter. In September,
1865, Rev. J.S. Campbell came into our
schools from Charleston, Clark county,
where he head served a few years as
superintendent. The citizens who can
recall the school life of the pas thir-
ty-five years, know well the sure,
steady progress of our schools. Mr.
Campbell was a conservative man,
never adopting new measures because
of popularity but, instead, always
looked after the things and methods
which would conserve the best inter-
ests of all. To his teachers he always
emphatically said: "The schools are
for the children," and so their good
was paramount to all else. The pu-
pils loved and respected him. He was
firm and just, but kind in all his in-
tercourse with them and; so after the
school life was done, and many had
found homes elsewhere, no visit to
Delaware was complete until their
teacher of former years had been
sought cut and thanked for his pains-
taking care and instruction. The last
years of his life were marked with a
growing tenderness and regard for
friends and all connected with the
schools. He resigned his position the
last of January, 1891 and on March
4th following he passed from the ac-
tive scenes of life here, to enter upon
the employments and enjoyments of
the life beyond, and where he again
met those of the "lost and gone,"
teachers and pupils, with whose life he
had been associated here.
The scores of teachers that have
been connected with our schools can
not be mentioned here. Some have
"passed on," and joined loved pupils

years of her life as Principal of the
High School, giving of the best things
of her noble Christian nature to her
pupils, taking the deepest interest in

ual welfare, is still in another sphere
of Christian work for the benefit of
others. Miss Eliza Grove was an un-
tiring, enthusiastic, thorough teacher
for many years, always giving the best
of herself, and gaining the love and
esteem of her pupils. Mrs. M.A. Car-
der has taught many years, and is a
very successful teacher in the Primary
grade. Of those giving years of faith-
ful service, may be mentioned Miss
Ginevra Humphries, so capable in
drawing and music, and who for many
years gave instruction in writing. Al-
so Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Widman, Miss
Crickard, Miss Pratt, Miss Palmer,
Miss Oldham, Miss McCann and Miss
Latham and Miss Estill have good
time-serving records. Mrs. M.J. Pow-
ers, the pioneer teacher, is filling out
her thirty-fifth year in the Primary
Grade. Mention should be made of
Miss Wharton, long connected with
the schools, gentle, refined, and every
Christian, almost gave up her life in
the school room, living but a few days
after resigning. Good mention might
be made of every teacher, but there is
not time nor room. Their works tes-
tify of their ability and faithfulness.
The pupils of our schools are in all
parts of our broad land, and some in
the far-off lands beyond the seas.
Many business men of our town were
former pupils, and some in many plac-
es are occupying high positions. The
influence of our schools will last for-
ever. May it ever be for the highest
good of all coming within its power.

BEAUTIFUL OAK GROVE CEMETERY
[image: ENTRANCE AND SUPERINTENDENT'S HOUSE AND OFFICE.]
The Cemetery is situated on South
Sandusky street, and was purchased
by a committee composed of Dr. R.
Hills, Benj. Powers, James Eaton, D.
F. McCullough and C.C. Chamber-
lain in the year 1850.
On July 13, 1850, articles of associa-
tion were adopted and signed by R.
Hills, C.C. Chamberlain, D.F. Mc-
Cullough, James Eaton, B. Powers, T.
W. Powell, R.N. Jones, Geo. F. Stay-

and S. Littell; and on August 10, 1850,
by Geo. W. Campbell, George Little,
W.s. Little, M.L. Griffin, G.W. Stark,
H. VanHorn, Asahel Welch and S.
Finch.
At this meeting, August 10, 1850, Dr.
R. Hills, C.C. Chamberlain, James
Eaton, B. Powers and D.F. McCul-
[image: CHAPEL]
lough were elected Trustees of the
Association, and C. Platt Clerk.
This Board was subsequently fur-
ther organized by the election of Dr.
R. Hills as President, and Benjamin
Powers as Treasurer.
A resolution was adopted to organ-
ize the Association under the general
act of the Legislature, characterizing
Cemetery Associations, dated Febru-
ary 24, 1848.
A Constitution and By-Laws were
adopted. The land was purchased of
Mr. Kinlourne for the sum of $1,550.
The Board decided upon borrowing
[image: VALLEY ROAD LOOKING WEST.]
the sum necessary to meet the first
payment of purchase money, and with
which to commence improvements.
They also decided to improve and
dedicate only about thirty acres at
present, it being the northern portion
of the tract.
R. Hills, T.W. Powell, James Ea-
ton and D.F. McCullough were ap-
pointed a committee to lay out the
grounds into sections, lots, carriage
avenues, walks, etc. With the assist-
ance of other members of the Board,
and other gentlemen and ladies of
taste and judgment, this was done,
and such other important improve-
ments made by the summer of 1851,
that they were considered in readiness
for a formal deciation to the purpose
designed.
The impressive ceremony of dedica-
tion was held in the grove in the
northwestern portion of the grounds,
at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning,
July 20, 1851. The day was a beauti-
ful one, and the concourse of citizens
large and appreciative.
The Cemetery was afterwards deed-
ed to the city on April 14th, 1863, and
was managed by a committee from the
council until 1887, when the following
Trustees of advanced ideas were elect-
ed, in April, 1887; V.T. Hills, John
W. Watkins, H.J. McCullough, and
they appointed David Grinton, a land-
scape gardner, the present Superin-
tendent and Secretary.
The present officers and Trustees are
Dr. E.M. Hall, President, D.d. Beck,
Vice President, and R.J. Cox, Treas-
urer, all men of progressive thought
in regard not only to the cemetery,
but also in matters pertaining to the
welfare of the city.
Each successive Board has given
great attention to the development of
the Cemetery, and have carefully
studied the general contour of the
grounds, and the plans developed to
bring out the beauties and hide the
deformities, or make them into at-
tractive features, from their singular-
ity.
The Cemetery contains nearly 90
acres, and is laid out on the lawn plan.
The price of lots arelow, taking into
consideratin that each lot sold is
placed under perpetual care. This
plan was adopted since 1897.
A handsome little chapel is near the
entrace, where the service are held,
and the valut is in the rear, divided
by an iron door. The floor is covered
with the best quality of linoleum;
seats are provided; an organ; and
heated by gas. A hearse is also kept
on the grOunds for removing the re-
mains from the vault to the grave;
the broad roads are well kept up, and
the lakes have been made out of waste
low ground, and in the near future it
would be a good thing to drill for a
flowing well, as experts are of the idea
that one could be had without much
expense, and it would be on incalcula-
ble value to the grounds.
The Trustees have a perpetual care
fund. A certain percentage of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of lots is placed in
so that the barns are no longer an
eye-sore on the grounds, and we be-
lieve that our Cemetery will compare
favorable with any town of the same
size in Ohio.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

Another article gives the history of
the schools of our city, this article
presents their present aims and pur-
poses.

missioner of Common Schools:

Total enrollment last year .. 1,572
Monthly enrollment .......... 1,278

In American we are proud of the pub-
lic school. Not only are we proud of
it, but on it, next to the family, do we
base our hope of national well-being.
It trains for citizenship. Its business
is to give the youth of the land ideals
that will uplift them, and make them
better citizens than their parents and
teachers have been. And as we trace
the history of the public school,
whether in the country at large, or in
our own city, we feel that our hope is
not baseless. The public school is in-
creasingly accomplishing its mission.
It is keeping pace with advancing cul-
ture. It is constantly adapting itself
to the changing conditions of our
broadening national life.
But the school must be more than a
preparation for life. It holds in its
keeping, concurrently with the home,
twelve years of the child's life. It
must live that life itself with the
child. Its training must not be simply
that of the intellect. It must train the
hand and the heart as well. The
school must see to it that in this school
life the child meets problems, intellect-
ual, moral and physical, whose solu
tion will make him stronger in all
these lines. This is not accomplished
by seeing to it that the child gets
[image: HORACE A. STOKES, SUPT]
through the schools on flowery beds
of ease. If school life is to be a prep=
aration for real life, the child must
solve his own problems in the recita-
tion and on the playground. He must
meet difficulties and overcome them.
He must learn self-control and self-di-
rection [torn page]
the strength of his mental and moral
muscles.
We feel that the schools of Dela-
ware represent such a conception of
education, and that parents, teachers
and children are all working to ac-
complish this end. We believe that
strength lies in progress along con-
servative lines. We care not to ac-
cept the new in education, simply be-
cause it is new, nor to discard the old
because it is old; but holding to that
which has been tested by experience
and found good, we keep our minds
open to receive that in the new educa-
tion which proves its right to recog-
nition.
The best results come from a co-op-
eration of patrons and teachers in the
great work of training the children.
For several years it has been the con-
stant endeavor of the school authori-
ties to enlist the interest and help of
the citizens. And we feel that the
closer sympathy that has arisen be-
tween patrons and teachers has had
its effect in making all phases of our
school work more efficient. There is
noticeably a growth in that self-con-
trol and self-direction that makes for
strong manhood and womanhood. This
improvement is especially marked in
the higher grades, where it should
naturally come. The result shows us
that education is something more
than intellectual training, and that
education, in the widest meaning of
the term, is a result of the united ef-
fort of all the forces and influences in
our city that make for higher thought
and higher endeavor.

DELAWARE'S
RAILWAYS.
Delaware possesses transportation
facilities second to but few inland
cities in Ohio. The various lines cen-
tering here are the Big Four, the
Hocking Valley and the Columbus,
Sandusky and Hocking.
The Big Four, which has here ex-
tensive shops, yards, and round house,
has three entraces: from Cleveland,
114 miles, with 6 passenger trains in
each direction; from Cincinnati, 150
miles, via Columbus, 24 miles, 6 pass-
enger trains; from Springfield, 50
miles, 2 passenger trains.
The Hocking Valley has 4 passenger
trains to Toledo, 100 miles, and 4 to
Columbus, 24 miles, and 2 to Pomeroy,
[illegible]
The Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking
runs 3 passenger trains to Sandusky,
86 miles, and 3 to Columbus, 24 miles.
All these line run numerous fast
freight trains, and the Hocking Val-
ley, and Columbus, Sandusky and
Hocking run directly to the finest bit-
uminous coal fields in the state, those
of the Hocking Valley, which insures
Delaware cheap cola of the best quali-
ty.
NEVER FORGET.
Thousands of former students of the
O.W. University, while here, learned
to like the refreshing and health-giv-
ing waters of the beautiful White
Sulphur Spring on the University
Campus, and are often possessed of a
great longing for another drink of it,
and sometimes a journey is taken to
Delaware for the purpose of again ex-
periencing its delights. A wealthy
gentleman who had attended the O.W.
U. for a year when a youth, told the
writer that he considered the Campus
spring the grandest in the world, and
that he often had a great longing for
a generous drink of it. He said the
people of Delaware have a priceless
treasure in this sulphur spring.

Osteopathists claim that the body is
a mass of live electrical wires, each
with a special function, and that one
disarrangement of these will cause
havoc, and an expert electrician (Os-
teopath) is needed to set it aright.
The fluids of the body are a great
drainage system, with feed and waste
pipes. A defective supply to a part,
or improper drainage of another will
cause stagnation or disease.
An Osteopath can readily discover
and remedy these evils without drugs
or the knife.
With what ease does the osteopath
soothe a nerve and stop pain; acceler-
ate or lessen the flow of life-giving
fluids in a certain part, or slip a part
of the bony structure back into place.
The evidence is startling, and appears
nothing short of wonderful. An ef-
fect is accomplished almost immedi-
ately that would perhaps require a
drug several hours to do, if it were
able to do it at all. Especially is this
true in fevers, headache, stomach
troubles, etc. Certainly no one will
doubt that to have perfect action in
any machine, each and every part of
it must be exactly in place, and en-
tirely free from obstructions. And
that the condition of the human body
which we call disease, is entirely due
to obstruction of or pressure on some
of the arteries, veins, nerves or ducts
of the body from the correct action of
which we attain motion, sensation, di-
gestion, assimilation, nutrition and
egestion. The removal of this obstruc-
tion or pressure would restore the cir-
culation of the fluids and gases of the
body, and bring about a condition of
ease, or what we know as good health.
The only way in which this can be ac-
complished is by taking the Osteopath-
ic treatment.
We have some splendid testimonials
on file at our office.

[image: ST. JOHN'S ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH.]
St. John's English Lutheran Church
is one of the youngest churches of this
city. It was organized Nov. 22, 1885,
by the present pastor, Rev. J.F. Shaf-
fer, D.D., assisted by S.A. Ort, D.D.,
President of Wittenberg College. The
following May, 31st, 1886, the cor-
ner stone was laid with impressive
ceremony. Dr. Ort preaching the ser-
mon for the occasion. The following
October 17th, the church, a fine brick
structure, with a seating capacity of
between four and five hundred, was
dedicated, less than eleven months
from the time of its organization. The
Church is beautiful for situation. It
is in the center of the city, on Sandus-
ky street, the main street, opposite
the Court House. It is sixty-five feet
long and forty-five wide, has a sloped
floor and circular seats, is handsomely
frescoed, has well proportioned win-
dows, with beautiful stained glass, in
short, it has all modern appliances and
architectural beauty.
This organization is fourteen years
old. It has a membership enrolled
reaching over two hundred; a Sunday
School, including the home class, of
about the same number. There is
deep-seated sympathy and love be-
tween pastor and people, and they are
ever ready to extend a cordial welcome
to all new comers, or strangers wor-
shipping with them. This Church be-
longs tot the General Synod, affiliates
with other Christian denominations in
worship and in true Christian fellow-
ship. The teachings of its pulpit is
thoroughly Scriptural, free from all
that is sensational. Its aim is to make
thorough, intelligent Christians.
PERSONAL
MENTION ...
[image] WE deem it a valuable necessity to be a little per-
sonal in our business transactions, both to
patrons and wholesale dealers, as it is one of
the surest pathways to success. It is always a
good policy to look to your customers' per-
sonal interest, especially when it comes to the
important part as the staff of life. Unwhole-
some eatables are only fit for the garbage pile.
When you leave your Grocery order at either
of our stores it receives the most personal attention, it matters not
whether you are old or new patron, or whether you purchase a cent's
worth or a dollar's worth. We are always a few cents cheaper than
anybody else for the reason we buy for tow large stores and in such
immense quantities for cash, our discount is great. All we ask is a
trial order to start with -- it's all told then. When you once learn our
method of doing business you are satisfied.

Another article gives the history of
the schools of our city, this article
presents their present aims and pur-
poses.
Below is reproduced a part of the
last annual report to the State Com-
missioner of Common Schools:

6 and 21 years ............ 2,301
Total enrollment last year .. 1,572
Monthly enrollment .......... 1,278
Average Daily attendance .... 1,167

No. of graduates last year .. 25

In American we are proud of the pub-
lic school. Not only are we proud of
it, but on it, next to the family, do we
base our hope of national well-being.
It trains for citizenship. Its business
is to give the youth of the land ideals
that will uplift them, and make them
better citizens than their parents and
teachers have been. And as we trace
the history of the public school,
whether in the country at large, or in
our own city, we feel that our hope is
not baseless. The public school is in-
creasingly accomplishing its mission.
It is keeping pace with advancing cul-
ture. It is constantly adapting itself
to the changing conditions of our
broadening national life.
But the school must be more than a
preparation for life. It holds in its
keeping, concurrently with the home,
twelve years of the child's life. It
must live that life itself with the
child. Its training must not be simply
that of the intellect. It must train the
hand and the heart as well. The
school must see to it that in this school
life the child meets problems, intellect-
ual, moral and physical, whose solu
tion will make him stronger in all
these lines. This is not accomplished
by seeing to it that the child gets
[image: HORACE A. STOKES, SUPT]
through the schools on flowery beds
of ease. If school life is to be a prep=
aration for real life, the child must
solve his own problems in the recita-
tion and on the playground. He must
meet difficulties and overcome them.
He must learn self-control and self-di-
rection [torn page]
the strength of his mental and moral
muscles.
We feel that the schools of Dela-
ware represent such a conception of
education, and that parents, teachers
and children are all working to ac-
complish this end. We believe that
strength lies in progress along con-
servative lines. We care not to ac-
cept the new in education, simply be-
cause it is new, nor to discard the old
because it is old; but holding to that
which has been tested by experience
and found good, we keep our minds
open to receive that in the new educa-
tion which proves its right to recog-
nition.
The best results come from a co-op-
eration of patrons and teachers in the
great work of training the children.
For several years it has been the con-
stant endeavor of the school authori-
ties to enlist the interest and help of
the citizens. And we feel that the
closer sympathy that has arisen be-
tween patrons and teachers has had
its effect in making all phases of our
school work more efficient. There is
noticeably a growth in that self-con-
trol and self-direction that makes for
strong manhood and womanhood. This
improvement is especially marked in
the higher grades, where it should
naturally come. The result shows us
that education is something more
than intellectual training, and that
education, in the widest meaning of
the term, is a result of the united ef-
fort of all the forces and influences in
our city that make for higher thought
and higher endeavor.

WATER SUPPLY.
DELAWARE WATER COMPANY,
DELAWARE, OHIO.
Plant One of the Best in the State. Com-
plete in all Its Details.
The plant of the Delaware Water
Company was constructed by Moffett,
Hodgkins & Clark, and completed in
October, 1889, and consisted of 16
miles of mains, from 4 inch to 16 inch,
with 206 Ludlow fire hydrants. The
pumping station is located three miles
north of the city, on a gravel flat near
the Olentangy River. The supply of
water is obtained from a well sunk
through the gravel beds and into the
rock, being 20 feet in diameter and
25 feet deep. With this is connected a
filter gallery 300 feet in length and of
the same depth, which gathers the
water from the gravel beds. Also a 14
inch intake pipe connects the filter
gallery with the river, which can be
used in cases of emergency.
The rapid increase of consumers,
and low water in 1895, admonished the
management that it was prudent to
seek for an additional supply of water.
[image: COL. C.W. WILES.]
A Six inch test well was sunk near
the large well through the 20 feet of
gravel, and case, then carried down
through rocks of various kinds to a
depth of 255 feet, which resulted in a
natural flow of about 65,000 gallons in
24 hours. This has been piped into
the large well.
This not being sufficient for the de-
mand, an Ingersol-Seargent Air Com-
pressor, Straight Line Class "A," with
steam cylinder 12 inches in diameter,
by 14 inch stroke, air cylinder 12¼
inches in diameter by 14 inch stroke,
116 to 155 revolutions per minute at 50
to 80 pounds pressure, was installed in
the spring of 1896; a receiver, 36 inch
diameter, 6 feet high, connecting, from
which a three inch pipe conducts the
air to the well, 100 feet distant; from
the top of the well a 1½ inch pipe
takes the air 144 feet down into the
well, ending in an inverted funnel to
deflect the air upwards.
With 40 pounds of air pressure at
the receiver, the flow of the well is
increased to 500 gallons per minute;
this flow has been maintained at dif-
ferent times for 14 hours continuously,
without any apparent diminution of
the flow, the well requiring from 60 to
70 minutes to recover its natural flow
after the air is removed.
The flow of water from this well is
conducted directly to the large circu-
lar well, from which it is taken by the
pumps. The water is of most excel-
lent quality and cold during the sum-
mer, and all fear of shortage of water
during the dry season is removed.
An analysis of this deep well water
was made by the State Board of
Health, and pronounced of excellent
quality.
The pumping plant, consisting of
two compound, Duplex Dean pumping
engines of 2,000,000 capacity each in
engines of 2,000,000 gallons capacity
each in 24 hours, which may be run in-
dependent or together, with 14 inch
high and 20 inch low pressure cylin-
ders, and 14 inch water plungers of 20
inch stroke.

WATER SUPPLY.
DELAWARE WATER COMPANY,
DELAWARE, OHIO.
Plant One of the Best in the State. Com-
plete in all Its Details.
The plant of the Delaware Water
Company was constructed by Moffett,
Hodgkins & Clark, and completed in
October, 1889, and consisted of 16
miles of mains, from 4 inch to 16 inch,
with 206 Ludlow fire hydrants. The
pumping station is located three miles
north of the city, on a gravel flat near
the Olentangy River. The supply of
water is obtained from a well sunk
through the gravel beds and into the
rock, being 20 feet in diameter and
25 feet deep. With this is connected a
filter gallery 300 feet in length and of
the same depth, which gathers the
water from the gravel beds. Also a 14
inch intake pipe connects the filter
gallery with the river, which can be
used in cases of emergency.
The rapid increase of consumers,
and low water in 1895, admonished the
management that it was prudent to
seek for an additional supply of water.
[image: COL. C.W. WILES.]
A Six inch test well was sunk near
the large well through the 20 feet of
gravel, and case, then carried down
through rocks of various kinds to a
depth of 255 feet, which resulted in a
natural flow of about 65,000 gallons in
24 hours. This has been piped into
the large well.
This not being sufficient for the de-
mand, an Ingersol-Seargent Air Com-
pressor, Straight Line Class "A," with
steam cylinder 12 inches in diameter,
by 14 inch stroke, air cylinder 12¼
inches in diameter by 14 inch stroke,
116 to 155 revolutions per minute at 50
to 80 pounds pressure, was installed in
the spring of 1896; a receiver, 36 inch
diameter, 6 feet high, connecting, from
which a three inch pipe conducts the
air to the well, 100 feet distant; from
the top of the well a 1½ inch pipe
takes the air 144 feet down into the
well, ending in an inverted funnel to
deflect the air upwards.
With 40 pounds of air pressure at
the receiver, the flow of the well is
increased to 500 gallons per minute;
this flow has been maintained at dif-
ferent times for 14 hours continuously,
without any apparent diminution of
the flow, the well requiring from 60 to
70 minutes to recover its natural flow
after the air is removed.
The flow of water from this well is
conducted directly to the large circu-
lar well, from which it is taken by the
pumps. The water is of most excel-
lent quality and cold during the sum-
mer, and all fear of shortage of water
during the dry season is removed.
An analysis of this deep well water
was made by the State Board of
Health, and pronounced of excellent
quality.
The pumping plant, consisting of
two compound, Duplex Dean pumping
engines of 2,000,000 capacity each in
engines of 2,000,000 gallons capacity
each in 24 hours, which may be run in-
dependent or together, with 14 inch
high and 20 inch low pressure cylin-
ders, and 14 inch water plungers of 20
inch stroke.

A little scrap of history repeated of times interests. Read the
following and it will pay you to ever remember it.
The old, old adage, "time will tell" is appropriately repeated in our
story. It has told over and over again, away back in 1857 when Del-
aware was a very miniature city, we hung out our latch string to the
public of Delaware and vicinity in the same room we now occupy and
on the day of our opening we framed a motto, made it iron clad
and all these years of our business career we have lived up to that one
motto and today we repeat as we did over 40 years ago. Here it is:
"Always good goods, courteous treatment, low prices and in every
respect perfect satisfaction." When that motto fails to have friends
we are ready to quit business, We have won lo these many years by
holding fast to our "life boat" and as long as we remain in business
we'll have the same old motto. We make it a special aim at all
times to have in stock everything the market produces, if its good and

EARLY DAY SCHOOLS.
At the very earliest period of our
existence as a hamlet -- a village -- at-
tention was paid to education. Sever-
al of the first settlers, more particular-
ly those from the New England States,
Connecticut leading -- were well educa-
ted. Several who came here soon af-
ter the war of 1812-14, held a degree
from Yale. "Tis true that the curricu-
lum of that institution then bore no
comparison with that of to-day, still
it was, for that early period, quite
above the order of common schools.
Yale had been plodding along in the
even tenor of her ways for a number
of years, and had turned out several
learned and leading men, and a few of
not the least of those, found their way,
either under the lead of Colonel Kil-
bourne, who founded Worthington,
afterward up to Delaware, or under
Moses Byxbe, who founded Berkshire
and Delaware. William and Mary
College, in Virginia, also had a few
representatives in this section.
The first regular school building was
a log house near the Delaware Run, in
the rear of the present Thompson
house, south side of what is now East
William street, between Union and
Henry streets. Elam Vinings, Sr., with
his oxen hauled the logs to the site.
They were procured not far away.
This brought the first tavern, the first
court (under the trees near where the
sulphur spring is at this writing,) and
the original school house not many
rods apart. On the day of the raising
Moses Byxbe, Sr., sat at a window in
the upper story of his house, (where
Joseph Bargdill now lives,) and as no
building intervened, he had a full view
of the work, without having to turn a
hand to help. The first pedagogue to
initiate this rude structure was a man
by the name of Morgan. This was
about 1816. About two years later on,
a master was employed whom some of
the boys said was a master only of
switching. He was pronounced cross,
crabbed and cranky. The most of the
teachers were not permanent residents.
Wages were low, and perhaps this may
have had much to do with their being
more ornamental than useful. This
state or [torn page]
soon our people took hold, and in short
metre, Delaware had a full quota of
school rooms and school teachers, all
local, fully equipped mentally and ed-
ucationally to conduct the children
properly up the hill of science.
In a brief review of the different
phases through which teachers and pu-
pils passed even for the first three or
four decades after the founding of
Delaware, it would be clearly impossi-
ble to personally name all of the
teachers, and locate exactly the site
where they did their work from 1816
to 1840, therefore I shall not attempt
to do so.
Albert Pickett, Sr., a highly educa-
ted gentleman, did good work in this
village for some years. He was a fine
appearing gentleman, and although as
a disciplinarian, almost equal to a
graduate of West Point after reaching
a good rank in the army, was greatly
liked by all those he had under his in-
struction. Later on, a son, Albert, Jr.,
tried his hand at teaching, but not for
any great length of time.
An aunt of our present leading
townsman, Sidney Moore, was a teach-
er in the long ago. She was a tall, dig-
nified, intelligent lady, somewhat strict
in the rules governing her school, but
notwithstanding all this, she held the
respect and love of those under her
care.
The first teacher in a stone building
on the southwest corner of Winter and
Franklin streets, was a man named
Granger. I have heard old citizens
say, who were pupils under his in-
struction, that he did fairly well as a
hearer of recitations, but when it came
to punishing a rule violator, oh, do
take care the bee! He seemed to have
cast aside all manner of humanity. he
would seize the scholar by the ears
and yank him over the desk at a lively
rate. All were glad when his time ex-
pired and he retired from business.
A short time after this, a Mrs. Eliza
Thompson occupied this building. She
was a disciplinarian not a great im-
provement upon her predecessor,
Granger. The room was somewhat
lengthy, with a fireplace at one end.
When the weather had run the mer-
cury away below zero, it is on record
in the memory of some yet living in
this city, that they had to stand back
"like a bound boy at a husking bee,"
as she would not let them go forward
to the fire, while those near the fire-
place were suffering from the heat.
Another old timer was gentleman
named Murray. He was not large of
stature, but his mind filled whatever
was wanting in this line. He was
what would not be termed a good
dresser. He had a very small foot,
and wore nice boots, so displayed that
no one could help noticing them. His
place on instruction was a small affair
on the northeast corner of the Court
House lot.
Mrs. Murray, a most accomplished
lady, commenced the business of
teaching the young ideas how to shoot,
in the Shoub House, southeast corner
of Sandusky and William streets, near-
ly opposite to where one of her most
distinguished scholars later on, Ruth-
erford Burchard Hayes, was born. Lit-
tle die she think, then, that before the
century had ended, a magnificent City
Hall and Opera House would adorn
that corner.
Maria Jinks, whose parents resided
in a house at the southwest corner of
what is not Union and William
streets, taught in a small house close
to the Byxbe house, on the north side
of East William street. Later on Mrs.
Mary Meeker-Bennett-Sprague taught
a very interesting infant school in the
same building. At the same time --
winter of 1833 - '34 a more advanced
school was taught up stairs in the
main building.
Mrs. Murray lived at one time near
where the post office is, and taught
school in her parlor. In the early 30's
an infant school was taught in a frame
building where the A.A. Welch's sons
have their furniture store to-day.
In 1834 there was a school taught in
the Thespian Hall building, which
then adorned nearly the entire space
between what is not Central avenue
and the alley east and north of the
Court house. I cannot recall the name
of the leading teacher, but am inclined
to think it must have been Mrs. Joan
Murray, from the fact that her sister,
Miss Mary Hills, then just in her teens,
(13 years) assisted. The School Ex-
aminers then were Sherman Finch,
David T. Fuller and Ralph Hills. This
child of 13 years teaching school broke
the record then, and I doubt if it has
been equaled since. She taught five
and a half days for a week at $1.00
per week without board.
Ralph Hills, afterward Dr. Hills, al
so taught not long after his father
came into this place, which was in
1831. Chauncy Hills, who is still
among us, was also one of our old-time
teachers for a short period. The Har-
vey Hills family could well have been
styled a family of teachers in ye olden
time.
A.R. Gould taught in a building on
the East Side of North Union street,
just north of William street. Miss
Mary Moses, afterwards Mrs. Gould, I
think, taught in the same building, but
I am not positive about this.
I forgot to state that those leading
citizens of to-day, Sidney Moore, R.J.
Cox, and H.J. McCullough received
some of their instruction at the hands
of little Miss Mary Hills in the Thes-
pian Hall building.
John A. Quitman, who came to this
village in the year 1819, as a clerk
in the Land Office. Also did some teach-
ing between that date and 1821. Later
on he became very prominent as a
Mississippi Fire Eater.
Lucy Byxbe, a granddaughter of
Moses Byxbe, Sr., the founder of Dela-
ware, also tried her hand at teaching,
with more or less success.
Bayles Campbell, who lived in what
is now a part of Delaware, taught hard
by in the 30's. He was quite compe-
tent.
Daniel Sherman for some years
taught in the frame house on West
William street, where John Wharton
lives, and was regarded as a good in-
structor.
In the middle of the 30's an Acad-
emy building was erected on "Tam-
many street," near the present site of
St. Paul's M.E. church. This was a
very valuable educational accessory
to Delaware, and several good teachers
held the fort here at different times
for a number of years. Early in the
40's a very able teacher employed
there, a New Jerseyan by the name of
Flavel A. Dickerson, was absorbed by
the O.W.U., and although other good
teachers succeeded him, the school did
not flourish like a green bay tree, as
it had done in "ye olden thyme."
A year or so before Prof. Dickerson
was thus absorbed, a highly educated
gentleman named Cobb, assisted by
his wife, conducted a very good school
in the "Mansion House," now Elliott
Hall on Delaware's University Heights,
which was the root of the present Ohio
Wesleyan University.
Between fifty and sixty years ago,
a reverend gentleman named Pope, (or
rather his wife,) taught a school for
girls on then Third street, south side,
between Sandusky and Franklin Sts.
D.W.C.L.
Among the teachers who held forth
in the fifties and sixties in the old
Central school huose, which was orig-
inally used as a Methodist Church, and
located on the northwest corner of
Franklin and William streets,
were Messrs. Marsh and Chan-
dler, and Miss Charlotte Wash-
burn, who are yet remembered
by many of our citizens of ma-
ture years as "strict disciplinarians."
Whether the youth of those days need-
ed more "discipline" than those of the
present day, is not certain, but it is
certain that they got plenty of it
along with the knowledge that was
imparted to them by the knights of
the rod of those days.

story. It has told over and over again, away back in 1857 when Del-
aware was a very miniature city, we hung out our latch string to the
public of Delaware and vicinity in the same room we now occupy and
on the day of our opening we framed a motto, made it iron clad
and all these years of our business career we have lived up to that one
motto and today we repeat as we did over 40 years ago. Here it is:
"Always good goods, courteous treatment, low prices and in every
respect perfect satisfaction." When that motto fails to have friends
we are ready to quit business, We have won lo these many years by
holding fast to our "life boat" and as long as we remain in business
we'll have the same old motto. We make it a special aim at all
times to have in stock everything the market produces, if its good and
by scanning the following you may form an idea of what we have, al-
though we can't mention but few of our many brands of Footwear.

EARLY DAY SCHOOLS.
At the very earliest period of our
existence as a hamlet -- a village -- at-
tention was paid to education. Sever-
al of the first settlers, more particular-
ly those from the New England States,
Connecticut leading -- were well educa-
ted. Several who came here soon af-
ter the war of 1812-14, held a degree
from Yale. "Tis true that the curricu-
lum of that institution then bore no
comparison with that of to-day, still
it was, for that early period, quite
above the order of common schools.
Yale had been plodding along in the
even tenor of her ways for a number
of years, and had turned out several
learned and leading men, and a few of
not the least of those, found their way,
either under the lead of Colonel Kil-
bourne, who founded Worthington,
afterward up to Delaware, or under
Moses Byxbe, who founded Berkshire
and Delaware. William and Mary
College, in Virginia, also had a few
representatives in this section.
The first regular school building was
a log house near the Delaware Run, in
the rear of the present Thompson
house, south side of what is now East
William street, between Union and
Henry streets. Elam Vinings, Sr., with
his oxen hauled the logs to the site.
They were procured not far away.
This brought the first tavern, the first
court (under the trees near where the
sulphur spring is at this writing,) and
the original school house not many
rods apart. On the day of the raising
Moses Byxbe, Sr., sat at a window in
the upper story of his house, (where
Joseph Bargdill now lives,) and as no
building intervened, he had a full view
of the work, without having to turn a
hand to help. The first pedagogue to
initiate this rude structure was a man
by the name of Morgan. This was
about 1816. About two years later on,
a master was employed whom some of
the boys said was a master only of
switching. He was pronounced cross,
crabbed and cranky. The most of the
teachers were not permanent residents.
Wages were low, and perhaps this may
have had much to do with their being
more ornamental than useful. This
state or [torn page]
soon our people took hold, and in short
metre, Delaware had a full quota of
school rooms and school teachers, all
local, fully equipped mentally and ed-
ucationally to conduct the children
properly up the hill of science.
In a brief review of the different
phases through which teachers and pu-
pils passed even for the first three or
four decades after the founding of
Delaware, it would be clearly impossi-
ble to personally name all of the
teachers, and locate exactly the site
where they did their work from 1816
to 1840, therefore I shall not attempt
to do so.
Albert Pickett, Sr., a highly educa-
ted gentleman, did good work in this
village for some years. He was a fine
appearing gentleman, and although as
a disciplinarian, almost equal to a
graduate of West Point after reaching
a good rank in the army, was greatly
liked by all those he had under his in-
struction. Later on, a son, Albert, Jr.,
tried his hand at teaching, but not for
any great length of time.
An aunt of our present leading
townsman, Sidney Moore, was a teach-
er in the long ago. She was a tall, dig-
nified, intelligent lady, somewhat strict
in the rules governing her school, but
notwithstanding all this, she held the
respect and love of those under her
care.
The first teacher in a stone building
on the southwest corner of Winter and
Franklin streets, was a man named
Granger. I have heard old citizens
say, who were pupils under his in-
struction, that he did fairly well as a
hearer of recitations, but when it came
to punishing a rule violator, oh, do
take care the bee! He seemed to have
cast aside all manner of humanity. he
would seize the scholar by the ears
and yank him over the desk at a lively
rate. All were glad when his time ex-
pired and he retired from business.
A short time after this, a Mrs. Eliza
Thompson occupied this building. She
was a disciplinarian not a great im-
provement upon her predecessor,
Granger. The room was somewhat
lengthy, with a fireplace at one end.
When the weather had run the mer-
cury away below zero, it is on record
in the memory of some yet living in
this city, that they had to stand back
"like a bound boy at a husking bee,"
as she would not let them go forward
to the fire, while those near the fire-
place were suffering from the heat.
Another old timer was gentleman
named Murray. He was not large of
stature, but his mind filled whatever
was wanting in this line. He was
what would not be termed a good
dresser. He had a very small foot,
and wore nice boots, so displayed that
no one could help noticing them. His
place on instruction was a small affair
on the northeast corner of the Court
House lot.
Mrs. Murray, a most accomplished
lady, commenced the business of
teaching the young ideas how to shoot,
in the Shoub House, southeast corner
of Sandusky and William streets, near-
ly opposite to where one of her most
distinguished scholars later on, Ruth-
erford Burchard Hayes, was born. Lit-
tle die she think, then, that before the
century had ended, a magnificent City
Hall and Opera House would adorn
that corner.
Maria Jinks, whose parents resided
in a house at the southwest corner of
what is not Union and William
streets, taught in a small house close
to the Byxbe house, on the north side
of East William street. Later on Mrs.
Mary Meeker-Bennett-Sprague taught
a very interesting infant school in the
same building. At the same time --
winter of 1833 - '34 a more advanced
school was taught up stairs in the
main building.
Mrs. Murray lived at one time near
where the post office is, and taught
school in her parlor. In the early 30's
an infant school was taught in a frame
building where the A.A. Welch's sons
have their furniture store to-day.
In 1834 there was a school taught in
the Thespian Hall building, which
then adorned nearly the entire space
between what is not Central avenue
and the alley east and north of the
Court house. I cannot recall the name
of the leading teacher, but am inclined
to think it must have been Mrs. Joan
Murray, from the fact that her sister,
Miss Mary Hills, then just in her teens,
(13 years) assisted. The School Ex-
aminers then were Sherman Finch,
David T. Fuller and Ralph Hills. This
child of 13 years teaching school broke
the record then, and I doubt if it has
been equaled since. She taught five
and a half days for a week at $1.00
per week without board.
Ralph Hills, afterward Dr. Hills, al
so taught not long after his father
came into this place, which was in
1831. Chauncy Hills, who is still
among us, was also one of our old-time
teachers for a short period. The Har-
vey Hills family could well have been
styled a family of teachers in ye olden
time.
A.R. Gould taught in a building on
the East Side of North Union street,
just north of William street. Miss
Mary Moses, afterwards Mrs. Gould, I
think, taught in the same building, but
I am not positive about this.
I forgot to state that those leading
citizens of to-day, Sidney Moore, R.J.
Cox, and H.J. McCullough received
some of their instruction at the hands
of little Miss Mary Hills in the Thes-
pian Hall building.
John A. Quitman, who came to this
village in the year 1819, as a clerk
in the Land Office. Also did some teach-
ing between that date and 1821. Later
on he became very prominent as a
Mississippi Fire Eater.
Lucy Byxbe, a granddaughter of
Moses Byxbe, Sr., the founder of Dela-
ware, also tried her hand at teaching,
with more or less success.
Bayles Campbell, who lived in what
is now a part of Delaware, taught hard
by in the 30's. He was quite compe-
tent.
Daniel Sherman for some years
taught in the frame house on West
William street, where John Wharton
lives, and was regarded as a good in-
structor.
In the middle of the 30's an Acad-
emy building was erected on "Tam-
many street," near the present site of
St. Paul's M.E. church. This was a
very valuable educational accessory
to Delaware, and several good teachers
held the fort here at different times
for a number of years. Early in the
40's a very able teacher employed
there, a New Jerseyan by the name of
Flavel A. Dickerson, was absorbed by
the O.W.U., and although other good
teachers succeeded him, the school did
not flourish like a green bay tree, as
it had done in "ye olden thyme."
A year or so before Prof. Dickerson
was thus absorbed, a highly educated
gentleman named Cobb, assisted by
his wife, conducted a very good school
in the "Mansion House," now Elliott
Hall on Delaware's University Heights,
which was the root of the present Ohio
Wesleyan University.
Between fifty and sixty years ago,
a reverend gentleman named Pope, (or
rather his wife,) taught a school for
girls on then Third street, south side,
between Sandusky and Franklin Sts.
D.W.C.L.
Among the teachers who held forth
in the fifties and sixties in the old
Central school huose, which was orig-
inally used as a Methodist Church, and
located on the northwest corner of
Franklin and William streets,
were Messrs. Marsh and Chan-
dler, and Miss Charlotte Wash-
burn, who are yet remembered
by many of our citizens of ma-
ture years as "strict disciplinarians."
Whether the youth of those days need-
ed more "discipline" than those of the
present day, is not certain, but it is
certain that they got plenty of it
along with the knowledge that was
imparted to them by the knights of
the rod of those days.

GIRL'S INDUSTRIAL HOME.
[image: CAPT. A.W. STILES.]
Probably the most meritorious of all
the state of Ohio's noble system of Be-
nevolent and Reformatory institutions
is the Girls' Industrial Home, which is
situated ten miles southwest of the
city of Delaware.
In 1869 the necessity was recognized
for the establishment of a suitable in-
stitution by the state for the care of
its unfortunate young girls who cir-
cumstances or heredity may have in-
clined to go wrong, and the well known
While Sulphur or Hart Springs prop-
erty was purchased, and in the frail
buildings then on the grounds, the
Girls' Industrial Home was installed.
Among the members of its first Board
of Trustees, appointed by Governor
Hayes, was the late Abram Thomson,
editor of the Delaware Gazette, and
the late Frederick Merrick, President
of the University, and to the judgment
and foresight of these men and their
colleagues, is due the successful issue
of what was then considered more or
less of an experiment.
The Home is efficiently and capably
managed by Captain Albert W. Stiles
Superintendent, and Mrs. Albert W.
Stiles, Matron, assisted by an excel-
lent corps of teachers, assistant
matrons and housekeepers. In their
last report to the Governor, the Trus-
tees say: "The work of the Superin-
tendent and matron, Captain and Mrs.
A.W. Stiles, cannot be too highly
commended."

MAJOR C. H. McELROY.
Major McElroy was born at Gam-
bier, O., in 1830. His parents, Rev.
James McEleroy, D.D., of the P.E.
Church, and Maria Burrowes McElroy,
were natives of Ireland. Soon after
his father's graduation from Trinity
College, Dublin, his parents were mar-
ried, and came directly to Gam-
bier, where his father taught
special classes in high mathematics,
and finished his theological course.
In 1832 his father came to Delaware,
O., as Rector of St. Peter's P.E.
Church; in 1840 he removed to Stan-
ton, Va., and remained in Virginia un-
til the spring of 1852, when he return-
ed to Delaware on a call from St. Pe-
ter's Church. C.H. McElroy received
his education at the academies and
classical schools of Virginia; at-
tended the Law School at the
University of Virginia; in the
fall of 1852, he was examined by the
Judges of the Court of Appeals, and
admitted to the bar of Virginia. Un-
der the laws of Ohio, as then in force,
he could not be admitted for a year;
engaged in civil engineering until
1855, when he returned to Delaware;
was admitted here, and has been en-
gaged in the practice of his profes-
sion ever since, except when in the
war of the rebellion and on the Bench.
In 1857-8 and in 1878 Judge McElroy
was elected Mayor by the citizens
without reference to party and with-
out any solicitation or action on his
part.
October 25th, 1855, Judge McElroy
was married to Caroline Murray, a na-
tive of Delaware, and daughter of
Richard and Joan Hills Murray. Her
father had been a member of the Bar
of Delaware, at once taking a high
stand as an attorney of ability, learn-
ing in his profession, and of strict in-
tegrity, but death seized upon him at
an early day, and during the infancy
of his daughter Caroline. Her mother
lived to the age of seventy-five years,
possessing in the highest degree the
esteem and affection of her two thous-
and pupils, (of whom Judge McElroy
was one,) and of all who knew her.
Her exalted character was richly in-
herited by her daughter Caroline. De-
cember 6, 1883, the wife and mother
passed away, her husband and four
children surviving -- three children had
preceded their mother. Judge McEl-
roy's father, mother and four sisters
went to California soon after the war;
but two sisters are now living. In
august, 1861, Judge McElroy enlisted
and was mustered in as a private in
the 20th O.V.I., Soon after that he
was chosen captain of Co. D, and was
in command of the Company at Ft.
Donelson and Pittsburg Landing; in
August, 1862, he was transferred and
appointed Major of the 96th O.V.I.,
and was with that regiment at Chick-
asaw Bayou, Arkansas Post and Vicks-
burg. In 1863 he was honorably dis-
charged on account of disability from
disease. After partial recovery, he
resumed practice.
In 1881, at the urgent solicitation of
members of the Bar, influential citi-
zens and friends, without reference to
party, he accepted the nomination for
Common Pleas Judge. In politics he
has always been a Republican, and the
judicial sub-division was quite large-
ly Democratic. He was elected, and
re-elected, serving ten years as Com-
mon Pleas Judge. Since his retire-
ment from the Bench he has been in
the active practice of his profession.

The subject of this sketch could not
help being born in Ohio. His parents
lived here at the time. He served an
apprenticeship of four years in the
drug store of Dr. S.S. Yoder, late M.
C., 4th District of Ohio. Then went to
Key West, Florida, as apothecary to
the U.S. Marine Hospital. During his
four years of service here, he prosecu-
ted his studies. Graduated from the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in
1876; the Jefferson Medical College in
1877, and took the degree of Ph. D. at
the University of Pennsylvania in
1878. Was married in Philadelphia to
Miss A.M. Kirby in January, 1880.
Came to Delaware 7½ years ago, and
bought the Mr. V.D. Stayman house
on West Winter street, where he has
been comfortably housed ever since.
He is neither the greatest nor best
man alive, but he enjoys a good prac-
tice; loves his fellow man, and de-
lights at all time to relieve suffering
humanity. He is a member of the
Presbyterian Church, Hiram Lodge
No. 18, F. & A. M., Delaware Lodge
No. 76, B. P. O. E., the I. O. Foresters,

of his daughter Caroline. Her mother
lived to the age of seventy-five years,
possessing in the highest degree the
esteem and affection of her two thous-
and pupils, (of whom Judge McElroy
was one,) and of all who knew her.
Her exalted character was richly in-
herited by her daughter Caroline. De-
cember 6, 1883, the wife and mother
passed away, her husband and four
children surviving -- three children had
preceded their mother. Judge McEl-
roy's father, mother and four sisters
went to California soon after the war;
but two sisters are now living. In
august, 1861, Judge McElroy enlisted
and was mustered in as a private in
the 20th O.V.I., Soon after that he
was chosen captain of Co. D, and was
in command of the Company at Ft.
Donelson and Pittsburg Landing; in
August, 1862, he was transferred and
appointed Major of the 96th O.V.I.,
and was with that regiment at Chick-
asaw Bayou, Arkansas Post and Vicks-
burg. In 1863 he was honorably dis-
charged on account of disability from
disease. After partial recovery, he
resumed practice.
In 1881, at the urgent solicitation of
members of the Bar, influential citi-
zens and friends, without reference to
party, he accepted the nomination for
Common Pleas Judge. In politics he
has always been a Republican, and the
judicial sub-division was quite large-
ly Democratic. He was elected, and
re-elected, serving ten years as Com-
mon Pleas Judge. Since his retire-
ment from the Bench he has been in
the active practice of his profession.

The subject of this sketch could not
help being born in Ohio. His parents
lived here at the time. He served an
apprenticeship of four years in the
drug store of Dr. S.S. Yoder, late M.
C., 4th District of Ohio. Then went to
Key West, Florida, as apothecary to
the U.S. Marine Hospital. During his
four years of service here, he prosecu-
ted his studies. Graduated from the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in
1876; the Jefferson Medical College in
1877, and took the degree of Ph. D. at
the University of Pennsylvania in
1878. Was married in Philadelphia to
Miss A.M. Kirby in January, 1880.
Came to Delaware 7½ years ago, and
bought the Mr. V.D. Stayman house
on West Winter street, where he has
been comfortably housed ever since.
He is neither the greatest nor best
man alive, but he enjoys a good prac-
tice; loves his fellow man, and de-
lights at all time to relieve suffering
humanity. He is a member of the
Presbyterian Church, Hiram Lodge
No. 18, F. & A. M., Delaware Lodge
No. 76, B. P. O. E., the I. O. Foresters,
&c.
