THE HOT WATER REMEDY.

The London Lancet contains an
exhaustive article Oh the "Thera-
peutical Drinking of Hot Water; Its
Origin and Its Use" The article is
written by DIR. Ephraim Cutter. an
eminent physician Of New York
City, and contains some statements
and suggestions which, to say the
least, are certainly worthy of atten-
ton. DR.. Cutter says that the first
use made of hot water as medicine,
or "health regulator" was made by
DR.. James III. Salisbury, OF New
York, who by series of expert
ments on men and various animals,
demonstrated its efficacy. In his
article DR.. Cutter gives directions
for the proper use OF hot water. In
the first place, it must be hot, j. e.,
not less than 10 nor more than $50
degrees Fahrenheit. This eXcites
proper action of the digestive or
gans. Cold water depresses and
lukewarm water causes vomiting.
For diarrhG the hotter the water the
better. For hemorrhages it should
be at blood heat. The quantity of hot
water drank varies from one-half
pint to a pint and one half, accord
ing to the condition of the patient
and the disease treated. The hot
water should be taken one or two
hours before each meal, and half an
hour before retiring. This gives
the water time to operate before
food enters the stomach or sleep
comes. The water should be slipped
slowly, and the swallowing of halt
a pint should take half an hour. It'll
takes six months to wash out the
liver and intestines thoroughly. I'll

such as lemon, sage or ginger, may

Baron Nordenskjold's officia, re-
port shows that Greenland is not, as
he had thought, land of fertile in
terror valleys, protected by lofty
coast ranges, but rises gradually
from the sea to vast table land ia
the centre, which Is simply a faith
omless ocean of ice, from whose
edges start rills that gather into
torrents and rush through immense
Ice canyons of Understandable beauty
and grandeur. Not a living thing
was found save worm, which lived
IN and on a metalline dust, of in-
scrutable origin, that formed muddy
pools in the ice, which never froze
over. The only vegetation was
microscopic, and nourished by the
same dust. Not a stone nor even a
grain Of sand was there; nothing,
save this dust, except some form of
Vlter. The ext edition was the first
since the fifteenth century which
had reached the eastern side of

seemed to be the remains of an old

are noticed In the improved feelings
Of the patient. The urine becomes
clear as crystal, and perspiration is
free. The digestion improves, thirst
disappears, and there is no longer q
craving for liquor. Taken as a

the hot water treatment is the most
complete remedy yet discovered for
all the evils flesh is heir to.

John Raymard.

The death of Mr.. John Baynard on
Thursday last removes from our town
one of its oldest inhabitants. He was
born in the lower part of this state
October Goth, 1895, and has passed his
whole life in Delaware and the Eastern
Shore. He married, November IL,
1881 Miss Susan Hardcastle, of the
staunch old line of Hardcastles of
Maryland, and together they travelled
the pathway of existence for fifty-One
years. In the year 1885 he was con-
verted and Joined the Methodist church
near his native place, and ever since
has been faithful orthodox christian.
The bible was pre-eminently his book,
and few men are so familiar with its
text as he became by his long and
careful reading. A man of firm faith,
his hope and his treasure were beyond,
and in the last few years he had
become weary of the strife and tumult
of the world, strongly desiring to enter
into the higher life, to see no more
through a glass, darkly, but face to
face. He has lived in Smyrna and
vicinity for the past twenty years, his
occupation in life being principally
farming. In his last illness his suffer,
ings were severe, but he bore then
with resignation, and departed very
peacefully. His body was affectionately
borne 10 its resting place by his five
sons and one grandson. His widow il

PETITIONS bearing some thousands
of signatures for Local Option have
been presented to the Legislature ask
ing that body for law to give the
people a right to decide by ballot
whether the curse of rum as a legalized
traffic shall continue to afflict COM
munity against it's will; and they or
their Representatives are to be granted
a hearing tomorrow evening. The
unanimity of temperance men has not
been so decided and earnest this
Winter as two years ago because they
had no faith that Delaware Legisla-
ture meant to grant anything, and
because of decision of our court on a
former law thus voted on by the peo-
pie. The leaders of the Alliance we
believe think they have, or can frame
law that will reach the same result
without violating the constitution.
But what matters mercy to the stricken
wife, protection to the orphan children
the comfort of homes, or the peace oi
society when politicians think they
have an advantage by fostering the

The February ThaM.

Saturdays morning papers brought
us accounts of the blizzard" which had
been sweeping over the Territories of
Wyoming, Montana and Dakota for
several days previously (the very
worst of the season., having reached
Chicago and other towns in the other
near Western States, sending the muir
curry down to 20' and 30o below zero.
1t even extended down to Texas with
the thermometer below zero. Coming
with such a sweep, of course it was ex-
pected to reach us, which, if travelling
on anything like schedule time would
reach us by or before Sunday. Satur-
day commenced with a soft south wind
that developed in force and warmth as
the day advanced, increasing on
through the night and Sunday morning
until noon, when the murcury marked
67o on the scale. The shifting of the
wind to the Northwest was not with
that sweep usual with such violent
changes of temperature, and the tenn
perature fell very slowly, not reaching
the snow point until Monday morning
The strong South wind evidently broke
the force of the cold wave and sent il
down the st. Lawrence. On Saturday
a number of the boys skated over the
ponds without regard to the surface
water the warm wind was continually
developing, others engaged in snow
balling from the fast disappearing
snow-banks that had defied the sum
of month, while the smaller one
amused themselves with imaginar,
boats in the swift currents of meltet
snow and ice that flowed down TIN
cutters. 1t was complete breaking o
the ice-bound fetters with which Jan
uary bound us. While we have had |

delightful climate, and congratulation
that our lot is not cast in the land q

IT becomes more and more apparent
that the way to "reform" the constitu-
ton is by giving US a new constitution.
The old one at the best will be only
piece of patchwork, when thoroughly
tinkered up by the Legislative work
men. A constitution that in it's fun
damental and paramount" principles
will admit of one half of the judges
constituting it one way and the other
half the other, cannot be a very lucid
document. The question ofan increase
of representation has demonstrated
this. 1t is pretty manifest that the
antagonism to increased representation
in New Castle county on the part of a
certain school of politicians is not
changed Notwithstanding the declara-
ton of the DeLalvGrean for it before the
election. Nor is it any more certain
that the gentleman who introduced
the bill making such an enormous
demand for New Castle county, had
not intended to smother his own infant
by an excess of swadlings.
The SHsse1 journal under it's new
regime comes out decidedly for {
Constitutional convention, and call!
upon the people of that county to taxi
preliminary steps for calling conven
tion.
The Gazette of Wilmington had pre-
viously declared for District representa-
tion which must come by the sam
source, and thus is the sentiment deep
ening.

Church Wedding.
HoFFECKER-HOUGH.

This morning, Notwithstanding the
stormy weather, a large company
gathered at the M. E. Church to wit
ness the marriage ceremony Of James
P. Hoffecker and Miss Mary l.. Hough.
The ceremony took place at 81 o'clock,
Rev. J. D. Rigg officiating. The ap-
proach of the bride and groom was
announced by the strains of Men
delsshon's wedding march from the
delicate touches of Miss Elva CarrOw,
preceded by the usherers, John A.
Hoffecker, Walter o. Hoffecker, Olin
l. Hough, Rich. S. Culbreth. On
approaching the altar, the usherers
stepped to either side leaving the bride
and groom standing under an artistic
arch dressed in ivy and crows foot ;
from the centre of the apex above
their heads hung a large bell made of
green with clapper composed Of white
flowers, a collection of calla lilies and
geraniums forming the back ground.
The ceremony was that of the full
Liturgy including the wedding ring, a
very impressive service, the bride and
groom responding in distinct, audible
tones. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony, the bridal party descended tC
the Lecture room where for short
time they received the congratulations
of their many friends, then took the
train for New York.
The bride wore an olive silk anC
plush suit, long olive plush coat; the
groom black coat and vest, gray pants
and olive colored gloves. The usherer
wore Prince Albert frock coats will
bridal favors,of Marechal Mel rose bud

until ripening for legal action, rather
than revolt should come. The initial
steps have been taken.
The want of harmola among the
members of the bench rather than q
severance and pulling apart from
personal feelings and jealousies, no
less than the farce of three dignified
and honorable judges sitting in solemn
court over petty case that would not
dignity a cross roads justice, has
prompted the steps that have been
taken. The organization and purpose
of the lawyers is thus stated:
The meeting organized by electing
Hon. n. B. Smithers, of Dover, chair
man, and J. A. Richardson, Esq, of
Wilmington, and ID. T. Marvel, Esq,
of Georgetown, Secretaries.
The needed reforms in the judiciary
system of this State were thoroughly
discussed, and Messrs. Spruance, Gray,
Bradford, Nields and Lore from New
Castle county Smithers, Ridgeley and
Wolcott from Kent; and Moore, Cullen
|
pointed a committee to consider and
report on the following subjects:
1.-The single Judge system, with
the retention of the Chancellor.
2.-The recommendations that the
Judges be a Chancellor and a Judge
appointed for a limited number OF
years.
3.-The propriety of giving the right
of taking writ of error in cases Of
felony.
4.-The question of increasing the
number of terms of the Superior Court
in the several counties.
5.-The question whether the in
structions given by the Court to the
jury in the trial of causes should bt
given in writing, and whether the
Court should be allowed to comment
upon the evidence or upon the credi
bility of witnesses.
6.-The propriety of limiting Origina
process to the county in which it il
issued.
The meeting adjourned at P. NJ.
| to meet at Dover upon the call of the
chairman of the committee.

CRYSTAL Wedding.

The periods to designate the progress
in the marriage life, such as wooden,
tin, crystal, linen, silver and golden
weddings, are but inventive names by
society to enforce at particular seasons
the social claims. Such was the sig
nificance of the reunion of social friend
ships at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. A. FAIRIES in this town, on Mon
day evening, which in its amplitude of
preparation and guests is rarely ex-
ceeded. The invitations were numer-
GUS and apparently, wherever possible,
accepted. The company began to
gather between eight and nine o'clock,
and shortly after the latter hour, the
house in every part was filled with the
happy guests, those i'll one room enjoy
ing the pleasures of music, in another
social converse, and in another, and
much the larger part, merry-making.
| The beautiful and valuable presents
attracted no little attention, especially
from the ladies, who expressed their
admiration with many adjectives.
Glass, of course, largely predominated
in varied and rich designs for every
conceivable use, but there were articles
| Vi SllHcI, uldJOllCd anu O1llCI IdOlSWdAO.
Shortly after ten o'clock the host and
hostess, followed by the older of the
guests were conducted to the refresh
ment room where two large tables
bearing in the centre of each pyramid
composed of apples, oranges, bananas
and grapes, fanked to the extreme
ends with cakes of various kinds
almonds, raisins, &c. Simultaneous
with the serving of these, was borne in
from another room trays of delicious
cream. Table succeeded table, anG
when the younger portion wound ul
the feast the dial pointed to midnight
leaving provision still for as many
more. The guests numbered about 14(
persons, all of whom gave expressions
to the enjoyment of a most pleasan
evening.

of thirteen miles. He reached that
place before the afternoon up train
came along, but went up the track just
beyond and succeeded in boarding the

ASSOCIATE Judges Houston and
Wales sent their opinions to the Legis-
lature on Monday on the constitutional
method of increasing representation.
The first named endorses the position
taken by Chancellor Salisbury that the
representation cannot be increased in
one county more than another as also
that they cannot be elected by districts,
while Judge Wales comedies with
Judges Comegys and Wootten that the
Constitution will not be violated by
an increase of the representation from
New Castle county over those of Kent
and Sussex, and goes beyond them in
expressing the opinion that the cleo
ton by districts would not be in viola
tion Of the Constitution, as it is not
prohibited; on the brood provision
that each House "must judge of the
elections, returns and qualification of
its own members" 1t would appear
very clear that in a case where such
diverse views are admissible, there is
really no constitutional limitation
either way, and in this case either
would be right when enacted by the
Legislature and ratified by the popular
will. The creature is not greater than
its creator, and the people were the
creators of the Constitution. The
point is well taken that, keeping with
in the Constitutional limits, in legisla
ting for the fundamental rights of tn,
people, all power remains in them O.
their representatives not prohibited b,
the Constitution. But a better wa,
would be to meet it through a new
and well defined Constitution.
