School Bows and tho Centennial.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock in school
house No. /, Master Chas. G.. Reynolds, In
behalf of the members Of the boys depart
ment, presented to the Firemen's Centen-
NAL Association, through his Honor, Mayer
Whitley, the sum of $47.25, being the
amount of the collections from the boys.
Master Reynolds delivered an address sub
stantially as follows:
"Some time ago, the suggestion was made
that the boys department of this school
should give evidence OF their patriotism by
making a subscription to the Firemen's
Centennial Fund. This was immediately
taken up by the boys with will.
We do not see any reason why Delaware
should be behind any of the other States in
this matter. When Madison first proposed
that convention of delegates from each
State should be called, ostensibly to amend
and improve the articles Of confederation,
but in reality to form national govern
ment, only five States responded to the call,
and Delaware was one of the number.
1t is to be hoped that they will not give
the iremen any further anxiety concerning
subscriptions. Let each public school aid
the work, and their contributions will en-
large the amount very perceptibly. The
boys of No. lead the list, and I have the
honor to present to the fremen on their
behalf the sum of $47.25, which they trust
will be accepted"
Mr.. Whitley replied in very appropriate
speech, during which he expressed some
good suggestions aud practical remarks, at
the same time thanking the boys for their
patriotic efforts. Messrs. Mccall, Vande-
yer, of the Centennial Committee, who
were present, also added their thanks, as
we'll as those of the entire association.

Mr.. Vandeyer thought they, as Christifr

best way wohld be to overlook anything
which the papers might say against them

ject, the association adjourned to 3O7 West

held for the benefit of the firsmen.

The Iss,spss,o~es l~sstvsrsas'y.

Tho Annual Temperance Anniversary OF
the Methodist Conference was held last
evening, at Union Church, under the direc-
tion of Rev. A. d. Davis, Of this city. The
choir of Union Church lent its attraction to
the occasion, Rev. George r. Bristow pre-
siding at the organ.
The large auditorium of the church was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and the
gallery was overfowiDg. The ministers
were we'll represented, and large number
of conference visitors from down the Pen
insula were present.
The exercises were opened by hymn
from the choir, after which Dr.. j. T. Coop
or made brief Prayer. The congregation
then joined in the beautiful hymn, Nearer
My God to Thee" and Rev. Enoch Stubs
was introduced, and spoke for about thirty
minutes He opened with the declaration that
the curse OF intemperance was the great
est antagonist of the church and the world.
Murder, suicide, fire, the plague and war
were delineated In all their awful horrors,
but either of these, or all combined, de-
clared the speaker, were not so terrible In
their consequences as intemperance, the
masterpiece of the devil, the incarnate
quintescence of his internal ingenuity. He
compared it with misery, age, misfortune,
poverty, hereavment and death; to prove
that it was the masterpiece Of the Internal
one, he dissected 1t part by part ; It's en-
Shaving power was laid bare, and the COM
pleteness of its ruin made manifest. The
swiftDess and vastness of its des0lation
were pictured, and the shameless effrontery
of this parent of vice told in words which
left long impression upon the minds Of
the audience. The picture was terrible
one, and when the Reverend speaker
declared that it was q cloud sprinkling de-
struction over the country, and irrigating
the world with q food of destruction and
death, he impressed his audience with an
absolute conviction of it's truth, Having
illustrated and maintained his declaration
that intemperance is the masterpiece of the
devil; he proceeded to advance theory of
the proper manner to fight it. Legislation
has failed; outside organization has failed,
and the only way to successfully fight the
great evil, Is by an earnest and universal
fight in the church, fight never to abate,
and never to be put aside for moment.
The address was original and interesting,
and the congregation were interested and
greatly pleased with the effort.
The choir at the conclusion of the address
gave an impromptu, and Rev. J. D. Rigby
was introduced, and spoke for half hour,
his address being mainly an illustration OF
the terrible effects of the curse, and an
earnest exhortatien to all to shun 1t. The
choir then sung "Hold the Fort" and after
the doxology, the congregation was dis
missed with the benediction by Rev. John
Shilling. During the evening it was an
nounced that Rev. J. A. B. Wilson's lee
ture, to have occurred last evening at
McClary's Hall had been postponed until
Saturday. Altogether the anniversary was
enjoyable and successful.
