Messaros ON Judas .scar,o,.

The Rev. Waldo Messaros preached on the
Cousins OF Judas Iscariot" at the indie
pendent Presbyterian Church. Philadelphia,
Sunday night. He said: ''There are men in
the world who would never be known were
It not that their lives were linked with the
lives Of others who are their superiors.
Such was Judas Iscariot.' Without Christ
he would not have been heard of; as it is
infamy has painted his character on un-
dying canvas. His treachery baseness and
vileness deserve the ignominy attached to
him. We do not understand Jesus Christ.
We speak of His blood cleansing us from
sin, asif it was nothing different from the
blood OF an ordinary man. We do not re-
gard the Lamb Of God In the way He
should be regarded. There are inildels who
are honest and willing to know the truth,
and yet cannot find it, because we do not
explain Christ to them in the proper way
If we speak OF Him as the Son Of God they
say He was the son of Mary; II we say He
was only highly organized man they say
1t is mere Jest to talk of a man being able to
save the world; II we say He is uod theE

and taking mans nature upon Hiui il losi

Jesus Christ is not man but manhood: He

OF the Godhead; He was God before the
commencement of the world"

bLoUR-MILL BURNED.


fatnaiI * Co.. at stanton, De-
stroych- -rhe Heavy Loss Partially y
fnsurcd-No Fire Apparatus.
The grist mill at Stanton, leased by J. P.
Woodward and owned by Joseph Tatnall a
Co., flour and feed merchants at Front and
Orange streets, this city, was destroyed by
fire on Saturday night. When the flames
were discovered, about $50 O'Clock, they
had gained considerable headway and since
there is no fire apparatus at Stanton, they
could not be gotten under control. When
the mill was closed early in the evening
there was no fire about the building and the
confiagration is supposed to have been Of
incendiary origin.
The burned mill, three-storied frame
structure, contained considerable grain and
machinery, the latter of an old-fashioned
pattern, all of which was destroyed. For
two years past the mill had been used
almost exclusively for grinding grist. Pre-.
vious to that time Joseph Tatnall 4 Co. man.
ufactured their famous Stanton Mills flour
there, I'm excellent old process flour, but,
two years ago, its manufacture was discon-
tinued because it failed to reach the
standard of the now process patent flours.
The loss on the mill and contents is heavy
but is partially covered by insurance.

NO BIRDS CAN BE SOLD.
Other Obnoxious Features of the
Game l,aNyS.

Game Laws
The State legislature nov comes in FOR
its share of criticism, or more properly
the Delaware Game Protective Associa-
ton is being pretty generally sat down
upon by the public. At the last session
of the General Assembly a law was passed
at the instance of the. game association
which practically prohibits the sale of
game in this city. The act itself fixes the
license at $500, which empowers the
holder to ship game from one
county to another for sale. The extorti-
nate amount charged for the license, has
the desired effectof driving all the dealers
out of this line of business and while
Wilmington is near what is regarded as
game district it is impossible to buy u
bird in the city up to this time. Last
laws quails were sold by local dealer,
who hid monopoly of the trade, at
SO per dozen, and the amount sold
is positive proof, if any was needed,
that the exposing of birds fer sale
was not regarded as a particularly shock
ing thing by residents of this city. Later
in the season when the weather is cooler,
western birds will probably be sold here
but the season of their shipment will nee
essarily be short. A heavy tax is also
required to especially cover the sale of
birds, which increases their cost commen-
surately to consumers. There Is general
feeling that the game laws are made with
the interests and pleasures of few men
too much in view and an attempt to
break the control of the association
ring is nfoot,
