Rehoboth has been unusually brilliant
this week. The young folks seem de-
tcrmned to enjoy themselves to the full
extent of the term. The hotels have
resounded with music and mirth from
early morn till late at night.
Prof. Muelhausen of Wilmington is
very popular with the unsteady inclined
at Henlopen, and the happy manner in
which lie entertains them at the piano
has made him host of friends.
Selmer Mayer, the well known piano
agent dropped in this week, and his MIN
bic fingers finds happy response in the
hearts of his many admirers.
Prof Cluett's family from Troy, con-
sisting of several musical members, ard
accompanied by several lady friends from
the church choirs OF the same place, along
with Prof. Ritchie's enjoyable orchestra,
keep the company in a complete halo of
sweet harmony.
The hop at tho Bright on Tuesday
night was very brilliant. The ladies
seemed to excel themselves in their tot
lets, and the occasion was one not soon to
be forgotten.
There was an exhibition of Mrs. jar
leys Wax Works at the Henlopen on
Wednesday night, which brought out
Rohoboth in all her splendsr The spa.
cious dining room was packed, equal to
Barnum's circus, being solid mass Of
human beings. The affair was very cred
table, and was greatly enjoyed by the
audience
There was delightful party of six
young Wilmingtonians here who much
enjoyed tripping the light fantastic on
Tuesday night.
The principal stock holder in the Hem
lopen, which cost $35, 900, being model
of beauty and comfort, is Mr.. Hooper of
Baltimore, who is eight times mill
lionare. Hooper's brothef-in-law, E. J..
Felgner of the we'll known Baltimore
House of T. W. Felgner 81 Son, is the
life of the Henlopeu House. Mr.. Felgner
improvised a fishing party ON Friday and
Prof. T. II. Cluett of Troy, N, Y, took
part in the piscatoral pleasure. Prof.
Cluett closely resembles Sunset Coz, and
is equally full of fun, frolic and good
nature. The fishing was a success, the
party first going to the Breakwater,
where they caught ten pound sheep
head and one hundred and fifty pounds
black bass, thence returning by rail from
Lewis. At night the indefatigable Felg-
ner got up beautiful boquet to be pre-
scented 10 Prof. Cluett. II was work OF
art, having for center piece a huge
squash, delicately relieved by tomatoes,
okre and ears of corn. Tho boquct
looked as if it came from the home OF
the wild indian, near the setting sun.
Felgnor made massive speech on pre-
sentation, and the happy and witty, Prof.
Cluett responded in bright and eloquent
speech, worthy of his friend, Sunset Cox
All had good time, and Mrs. Wilson
of Troy, sweet singer in Israel, assisted
at concert which followed the boquet,
like the odor of the rose blendeth will
the violet. II was "merry war;" and
Felgner and Cluett will be missed by the
festive and happy combination at the
Henlopen. MADGE.

This prominent citizen of Elkton and
Cecil county, expired on Monday night,
OF the End inst, after a lingering illness.
1t has indeed been several years since he
has been seen upon our streets, being

county, Pa, about 1901, and came to this
county before he had reached his majority.
He was for many years engaged in mer-
camille business, and filed many places of
public trust. Before the war he was an
ardent Wing, and in 1910 was elected
State Senator, which place he filled until
he was appointed by Gov. Pratt to the
Office of Register OF Wills of Cecil county,
and remained in office until the change of
the Constitution in 1851.
During the war Col Howard was den-
titled with the Union party, and having a
fondness for military life, was elected
Colonel of the Sixth Maryland Regiment,
and was actively engaged in the service
for about year or more. After leaving
the army he returned to his farm in Elk
Neck, where he lived until he returned
to Elkton, where he was appointed Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue, and
subsequently accepted the Office of JUS
tice of the Peace, which Office he held
until he was disabled by sickness,
He was man Of great firmness and
energy of character, and always took an
active and prominent position in public
affairs.

How 10 Avoid Ceiling Eat.

A. new book ON "Corpulen ce, and its
Treatment has lately been published
m Germany by Professor Ebstein, Of
Sottingen. He is not, like the English
''savior of the stout fun of overflow
ing thankfulncss for relief from his dis
ease; probably he has not even suffered
from II, for corpulent men are rarely
stern and strict. Ills method also
differs from that Of Banting. Accord
ing to Ebstein, the primary cause of
cOrpulcncy Is the want of sufficient en-
crgy To renounce the so-called attrac-
lions of life. He firmly maintains
that fat Is produced merely by over-eat-
Ing and drinking. Water and drink
ing cures are altogether condemned by
Professor Ebstein; and while the Bant-
ing system teaches that fat. makes
fat, y this doctrine is directly opposed by
Professor Ebstein, in whose IDEAL OF
fare for those suffering from corpulcncy
fat forms great feature. The go
giammcs of bacon says Professor
Ebstein, (Which our Emperor ordered
TO he delivered daily To all soldiers
taking part in the French campaign of
1870 are, so To speak, an 'oiliciat ac-
acknowledgement of the importance OF fat
in the rational nourishment of n hard
working man"
The annexed bill Of fare Is that pro-
posed by Professor Ebstein for an aver
age case Of corpulcncy, the invalid being
supposed to be forty-one years OF age,
and having suffered from increasing
stoutness for twenty-five years. Tho
