The Chapel to he Dedicated Tomorrow
An Appeal for Substantial Aid.
The Rev. Carl o, Carlson, pastor of the
Swedish Mission, has prepared the follow
ing circular, copies of which have been sent
to all supposed to be interested In the work
Of church. The circular is endorsed by the
Reys. Charles Hill and j. Richards Boyle
aDd fully explains the object of the work:
"DEAR BROTHER: Will you kindly en-
tertain an appeal in behalf of our Methodist
work for the Swedish people of our city
At the last session of the Wilmington An
nual Conference Bishop Simpson organized
a mission among us and appointed me in
charge oft. We have gathered a congrcga-
tion of about rs, of whom 81 are now COM
municant members, and have established a
Sunday school of over 40 young people.
Through the generosity of the Methodist
churches of Wilmington we have also erected
a neat and beautiful chapel on ground pur-
chased for the purpose, and shall dedi-
cate 1t TO the worship of God on Sabbath
afternoon next at o'clock, Our work is
constantly growing In Importance. Sixty
eli hit families Of Swedish immigrants are al
ready here and others are coming. They
cannot participate in the services of our
American churches, and neither In this city
or State is there p,aoe ui.s..e they can hear
the gospel IN their own language, except In
our chapel. Our own people are contribut-
ing as they can to this work, and will, we
hope, soon make it selfsupporting. But In
ordtr to dedicate our building free of debt
we shall need much additional help from
others. You perhaps have already con-
tributed towards 1t, but will you not aid us
still further3 In behalf of our board cordi-
ally invite you to be present at the dedica-
tion services and assist us by your means
and prayers,n u

John Keogh, formerly mill operative at

statistics showing that the mill operatives in

Mr. Williams, of Manchester, England, a

praised our technical schools as un,
surpassed anywhere in Europe, but
they were no. within the reach OF
the working people, and could only be at
tended by those of higher social rank, The
present system in America does not teyelon
any taste for entering occupations which in
volve manual labor. He believed that all
American working people have greater
activity and Intensity aud consequently can
do more work than his own people. Nine
hours here, he said, are equivalent to more
than 10 hours work OF the English labDrer
Working people should look to their OWE
efforts rather than to legislation for the
amelioration of their condi .on. They would
make great mistake to seek pateraal aid

LETTERS FRoM TnE PEOPLE.
The Recordersnlp Contest.


To THE EDITOR OF THE GAzETTE.-I
notice thatssome of the newspapers have
taken up the subject OF Recorder of Deeds
for this county, soon to be appointed. Que
in particular, the Erery EVeBing, though
protesting, apparently, merely TO mention
the subject as passing event, plainly dis
closes its real object, and engages In u
chapter of encomium Of the present incum-
bent, while his competitors for the position
are mentioned in rather doubtful style Of
recommendation. Now, sir, shall not here
advocate tho claims of any candidate, as /
believe them all to he competent to discharge
the duties OF the Office in as acceptable a
manner as the retiring incumbent-and to
hold him up as paragon of perfection, and
the only one In whose hands the affairs OF
the office would be secure is to state what is
not true. Besides this 1t does seem that
there are quite enough Democratic political
doctors to treat Democratic political patients
without advice from Republican quacks,
clothed In the thin garb Of an Independent
Now, while l am willing to concedc all
that Every EyoaiNg has said in relation to
the ability of Mr., Holcomb, am not
ready to admit that this should
entitle him to reappointment. He
should be cOntented with one term, espe-
cialy so when 1t is remembered that five
years ago, when Thomas NJ. Ogle asked for
reappointment to tho same position, his OPP
ponents raised the Democratic watchword
of "rotation and Office" and made their
canvass on that principle. Not that Mr..
Ogle was not a capable officer, but that he
had held the Office for five years, and that
rotation In Office was cardinal principle of
the Democratic party. And on this issue
they won, and Mr.. 0gle was obliged to
make room for Mr.. Holcomb. Where now
is their consistencya If rotation IN office
was right, then IL Is right now. But 1t Is
agreed that Mr.. HOlcomb is a very able Off
cial Granted, but was Mr.. 0gle not equally
so Then pray on what principle was he
removed to give place to Mr., Holcomb9 Was
Mr. Nicholson an acceptable officer Then
why was he not continued And further, If
a man proves to be a good officer why not
keep him In Office for lifel
Now, this is all stuff about the necessity
of reappointment because q man has simply
discharged his duty, and It don't 90 down
comfortably with the Democratic masses of
this county. And, ponder it well, they
won't be whipped in much longer. They
well understand that 1t Is but the crack of
the "Ring lash, In the hope that reap
appointment in the Recorders office will be
the "Waterloo" for those that follow.

STARVING A YOUNG WIFE.
An Interesting Trial In a New Haver
Court,

Court.
New HAVEN, CONN, Oct. 19.-The case
of Elmer F.Culver, young farmer of North
Haven, who is charged with cruelty to his
wife, was tried in the Superior Court to day.
Culver was convicted in che City Court and
appealed. Mrs. Culver, who is young
lady OF attractive appearance and modest
demeanor, testified that since last June she
had great difficulty in obtaining anything
10 eat, although her husbands farm was
full of produce. Her husband refused to
allow her to use any of the farm production,
saying it was for the market, not for home
consumption, She was often obliged to go
to the neighbors for food. He gave all his
money to his mother, and she refused to
give me even penny.
"One night, just before last Christm as,
he ordered me out of the house. / refused
to go, and although he did not beat me that
night he did few nights afterwards. He
threw me over the bed and knocked my
head against the side of it, telling me that
as long as / staJ ed there l would get the
same treatment. On the night Of Septem-
ber s he came home and beat me so severely
l was forced to leave the house. / took
refuge in the house of Mrs. Julia Heming-
way"
Mrs. Hemingway testified that whan Mrs.
Culver went to her house she was much
bruised and her skin was much discolored.
Other witnesses testified that Mrs. Culver
often begged for food and clothing from
them. In his own defense Culver testified
that his wife was of hot temper and he
often pinched her or 'dug her with his
fingers" to make her mind. The case will
be concluded to-day.

ADJUSTMENTS.

G. Fl. Graves combination is announced
for Wednesday night next.
The interesting sensational drama" Marked
for Lille" will be presented at the Opera
House on Monday next with Sid G. France,
the popular American actor, in the leading
role. The play is one that never fails to ex-
cite the interest of the audi nee. Some of
the situations are extremely realistic, par
ticularly that of the fight on the suspension
bridge between the faithful darhey and the
villain, and during which the bridge breaks
and precipitates both men into the chasm
below.
A most enjoyable entertainment will be
given by Smyth Post on Tuesday, October
80, the night OF their open camp fire. A
number of attractions will be offered for the
amusement of the audience in conn iction
with the readings of the talented Miss
Phillips, who has been engaged by the COM
mittee TO give several recitations. The
youthful drummer and number of
speciality artists have also been secured.
Tickets can be reserved at G. r, Thomas
upon the payment Of 10 cents.

Now that a great advance movement has

of Vermont, Michigan and New Hampshire,
which makes the teaching of temperance

of the utmost importance, There is no
doubt that the success of the movement for
scientific temperance education depends in a
great measure upon the text book used
This subject should receive the immediate
consideration of the School Board.

THE ST. LOUIS GAMBLING RING.
Governor Crlttenden Talks to the Grand
Jury About the Police Scandal,


ST. Louis, Oct. 19.-Governor Crittenleu
stepped out of coupe at 10 o'clock this
morning, entered the Four Courts, and a
moment later was in the hands of the
Grand Jury. When lie was released, at3.15
p. m., he said that he had finished with the
jury and was going back to Jefferson City
this evening. His examination, it is known,
extended from the time OF Finney's re-
moval down to the present date, and went
into all the details, so far as the appoint
ment of the Police Commissioners who
favored the gamblers is concerned. To-day
the impression prevails that II. D.
Cleveland resigned his position as Police
Commissioner on Wednesday and mailed
the document so that it reached Jefferson
City on Thursday morning, at which time
the Governor arrived in st. louis. Bradford
Allen, heavy stockholder iu the Cass ave
nue. line, of which Cleveland is superintend-
ent, was asked whether that individual had
really sent in his resignation. He replied:
81 don't knew whether he has resigned or
not, but do know that my brother Russ
did send him letter telling him that no
must either leave the Police Board o. the
Cass Avenue Railroad -

Value OF Human Llvas.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: 1t is
the misfortune of our people generally that
they attach no pecuniary value to young
lives-to the cost of premature deaths. In
England child at birth has been estimated
to be worth to the community, $l2,50; at
five years of age, $3.50; at 10 years, $500, and
at 20 years $2,O0O;and by some statisticians,
from 20 to 40 years Of age, at S615 per an
num. England is free trade country,
and estimates her people to be of much
value to her as a nation. In the United
States, under heavy protection, our people
have no value placed upon them, but lib.
erty and freedom, and very many live on
this glorious estimate placed upon their in
dolent natures by following the trade Of a
tramp This mode of living gives employ
ment to the officials who have charge of
poor houses and penitentiaries, and is an ex-
pense to tho country, and Of no value what
ever, but costly burden. SO much for
protection. FREE TRADE.

EVERY Evening of Yesterday
We are by no means sure, however, that
our people have fully recognized the fact
that while the system of local seIf-govern-
ment has enabled us TO be honorably known,
nay famous, in politics, we have failed to
distinguished ourselves in other lines of
effort Although our bar is marked by un-
usual purity of character our jursts, while
honest and able, have, save IN one or two
instances, been little known beyond the
State limits. We do not at this moment re-
call a single literary man of even moderate
fame, born and bred In Delaware, while In
several other lines of effort the names of
Delawareans are conspicuous by their alb
sence. In scholarly attainment we are
equally deticiett, small percentage ol
our youth being college bred, and the
love of learning being yer largely sub
Ordinated to the desire to get into the word
OF business and money-maktng at early age.
Wilmington, which we may suppose to
show the results of our highest activities,
proves all that we have said. The city
shows itself upon its face to be the home of
q small, industrious, highly prosperous,
but moderately cultured community. Our
rows Of straig ht lined houses proclaim home
comfort, but little else. Musicians COM
plain that we lave yet to learn the b c of
music, and we know, perhaps, very little
more of kindred arts. In the country dis
trlcts again, we have much to learn of farm
ing. Modern methods and modern comforts
are not widely known among our farmers,
and stock of first rate breed Is the execution
rather than the rule,

OF Cyrus Phillips Ladies'
Shoes there is but little to be
said outside of the fact that
they are the best-fitting, best
made and neatest line OF shoes
to be found anywhere for the
price. They are principally
button shoes, and ladies desir-
ing this style OF footwear can
do no better than giving this
make a trial. The prices range
from $3.50 to $500, made in
all styles and shapes.
gro. D. CLELAND,
At this time of the year men
generally make provision to
buy their heavy Boots, but as
the season has been backward
they have been holding off.
There is where they make a
serious mistake, as by buying
low, when the stock is un-
broken and while there is no
demand for heavy work, they
are able to make better bar
gains. Those in need OF water
proof or heavy calt-skin Boots
will find just what they want

WILMINGTON, DEL, Oct. IS, 1858.


To THE EDITOR OF THE GAzETTEi-How
long does the Board of the above named
school, with j. p. Theodore Fueckel at the
head of it, intend to "bulldoze" our Ger
man citizens who send 5heir children to said
school Two months ago Mr.. Fueckel en-
gagged q lady teacher to take charge of the
German American school at salary of SIS
per month, and month later this same Mr..
Fusckel declared at o meeting of the Ger
man American School Association, that the
teacher is not capable of teaching the German
language. Now, then, Mr.. Editor, as the
late Volksfest was given for the purpose OF
having the pupils of this school taught the
German language. and as the school has no
German teacher, think it would be a good
plan to give the proceeds Of the last Volks-
Test to some benevolent institution, or else
put some one at the head of the German
American school, who will procure good
teacher, capable of teaching the German as
well ae the English language.
