In Memorian.
glove that twine, her mystic letters
in a four fo1d obain

"Love that twinej her mystic letters
in four-fold chain,
And little knot of ribbon white, in
and out again,
Tied so strong that all the world can
= never break in twain"
Such is the ''blessed comradeship"
of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union: and when death sewers
one by one the links in the chain, our
hearts are sad, as now, when we de-
plore the loss of our loved Vice Pres
ident Mrs. Emily Wilson. Person
ally we shall think of her as she stood
up during the last annual convention,
and read in clear and distinct voice:
"For you shall not go out with haste
nor by flight, for the Lord will go
before you and the God of Israel will
be your reward" Isaiah 3-12. When
our Co. convention met in Feby.,
Mrs. Wilson was unable to attend
and from that time grew verse until
released from her suffering. One
who loved her, and with whom she
was intimately associated, wrote me:
''Mrs. Wilson was greatly beloved
by everybody in Dover. So kind, so
generous and full of hospitality. She
was such willing worker, never too
tired or too busy, though her hand
was in every good work. Nothing
seemed impossible to her, when l
would express doubt about doing
something she would always say we
can do it," This friend adds to her
loving tribute: Il visited Mrs. Will
son often during her sickness, and
she always wanted to talk about our
temperance work, what we were
doing, and what ought to be done,
and then she would look up into my
face and say! Oh! shall never do any
more of it." And so we know she
considered the work privilege, and
faith looks beyond the darkness of
the tomb, to the home, where her
beautiful life shall more and more
unfold in the presence of our Cod
Farm and Home.

Representatives of the Delaware
and Maryland trotting circuit, em-
bracing Baltimore, Elkton, Easton,
Dover and Wilmington, met at the
Clayton House on Saturday morning
to arrange for the Fall trotting meets
at these various places. D. P. Bar
nard, Jr., presided, and Charles B.
Wooters, of Easton, was secretary.
The meeting decided to offer $4,000
in prizes and to give each locality one
week in which to hold its meeting, so
that no two meets will be in progress
at the same time. Baltimore was
given the second week in September,
Easton the third week, Dover the
fourth, Elkton the first week in Octo-
Der and Wilmington the second.

Heed the Warming.

The Brandywine water is still filthy and
and consequently not only unpleasant to the
taste, but is also absolutely freighted with
the elements of sickness and death. The
sckening stencil OF the Brandywine water
has driven iocks of our citizens to the use
of well and spring water, and knowing
that DIR. L, P. Bush had given careful con-
sideratiou to the condition of the various
wells and springs of this city, few years
ago when he was President of the Board of
Hea. .th, the writer conferred with the yener-
able Doctor few days since to get his views
concerning our present water supply.
Or. Bush stated that he had ceased using
the reservoir water owing to its unpleasant
ness and its possible dangers, and he also
said that, with one, or probably two excep-
tions, there was not well or spring within
the limits of the city where the water was
not contaminated with sewage percoations,
and the Doctor added, that water contami-
mated by appreciable traces of excrets will
develop typhoid fever in the susceptible
subject.
The following case is typical one and
will illustrate the danger incident to impure
water: Stme three weeks since most
estimable citizen residing in the western
portion of the city was stricken with typho-
malarial fever. The involvement OF Peyer's
glands was markedly present from the in
ception of the disease, and its persistence
suggested an inquiry as to the probable
cause of the aggravation of this trouble.
The diet and its preparation were faultless,
and attention vas then directed to the
drinking water, and it was ascertained that
the water supply was either from the
hydrant or an adjacent spring.
The use Of this water was at once inter
dicted, and, through the courtesy of Hart
Brothers, artesian water was supplied, and
we state authoritatively that within twenty
four hours after hydrant and spring water
had been supplemented with artesian water
that there was marked improvement in
the enterc symptoms of the patient, which
we're followed by speedy and permanent
convalesance.
The death of so ne prominen soci9ty peo-
pie at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, during
the past four weeks is attracting the atten-
tion Of scientists and physicians of that city
to the cause of the fatality which has recently
cast such shadow over society circles.
y >npourrent testimony of all OF those
gentlemen who are competent to speak upon
this matter points to impure drinking water
as the direct and immediate cause which
has developed the disease which is now
trailsd by the finger board of death.

The Board of Health are intelligent men
aud they know full well that impure watel
is pregnant with the agencies of sickness
and death, and it is their province to demant

tive measures in relation to the water purifi
cation.

MISS Enc1cott the Recipient of Many

WASHINGTON, November 13th.-About
the only topic of conversation in social
circles is the approaching marriage of Sec
retary Endicott's daughter to Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain. The wedding will probably
be very quiet affair, and only the i'm
mediate friends of the family will be in
vited. The President and Mrs. Cleveland,
with members of the Cabinet, will attend.
Miss Endicott will wear travelling gown.
1t is barely possible that Mr.. Chamber
lain and his charming bride may remain
in the United States short time paying a
series OF family visits and arrive in
England shortly before Christmas. The
wedding will be without pomp and dis
play, because of mourning in the family,
TWO near relatives having died within a
year.
Miss Endicott has already received large
number of valuable presents, including a
diamond and sapphire crescent for her hair.
a pair of diamond and sapphire bracelets,
and diamond ring. Her father has given
her diamond crescent. In addition to
her personal outfit. including some costly
dresses made by Worth, of Paris, she will
carry to her home in Princess Garden, Lon
don, a complete assortment of household
linen, each article delicately embroidered
with her initials. This is in accordance
with the old Puritan custom, when the con-
tents of the linen-chest prepared for the
BRIDE were by far the most important part
of her trousseau, and lasted for generations
as heirlooms.

Assembly at Indianapolis.


Assembly at Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 13th.-The Con
vention OF Knights of Labor was called to
order at 10 O'Clock this morning by General
Master Workman Powderly.
The report of the Committee on Creden-
tials was submitted. All the delegates, in
cluding one from Belgium, were present.
Thomas Barry, the expelled member,
and George Schilling, of Chicago, the recog-
nized leader of the Anarchist faction, are
here.
1t is expected Powderly will be re elected
by large majority.
The case of T. B. Barry is one of appeal
from the authority of Powderly, and it will
be considered in due time by the proper
committee. Barry claims to be entitled to
a seat, and expresses confidence in his ulti-
mate success.
1t is said by some of those close to him
that Barry conemplates the organization
of a new Order if he fails this time, and his
possible actions are watched with consider
able interest.
The afternoon session to- day was devoted
TO the completion of the organization of
the General Assembly by the appointment
of committees. There was 10 discussion
over these appointments, but some debate
was aroused when the Legislative Com
ihlticC was II Delng
thought by some not advisable to form
such committee at the time. 1t is the
duty of this committee to consider the
legislation which it is desired to have
brought before Congress, and it is intended
for il to act in an advisory capacity with
the regular standing committee at Wash
ington.
A telegram was received from the chief
officer OF the brotherhood of Locomotive
FiremeD, expressing good will and hope
for the success of the Assembly, and
promising cooperation with it.
The reports of the general officers, COM
mittees and the General Executive Board
will be heard tomorrow and Thursday.
Barry will not talk to the general public
until he has been given hearing by the
General Assembly, which he hopes to
have tomorrow. In the appeal which he
has drawn up to that body be gives ex-
preston to his desire to be heard at once.
Barry promises to appeal to the bar of pub
lie opinion in case he is not heard BY the
General Assembly. He says every state
ment he has ever made questioning the
honesty and integrity of the present man.
sgement of the Order will be substantiated
by facts which will, in the proper time, be
made public.
As at present organized, the Twelfth
General Assembly is in good shape for
work. 1t is now generally thought the
present Board will be continued, and that
the members chosen to fill vacancies will
be agreeable to Powderly.

"1URN THE RAsoALs OUT"
Some Government EmpIoye Gets Away
With Pile of Silver.


WASHINGTON, November 18th. = Some
irregularity has been discovered in connec-
ton with the transfer of silver dollars from
the Mint at New Orleans to Washington for
storage in the large new vault IN the court
yard of the Treasury building, which has
resulted in loss of 81, 500. The Treasury
officials refuse to speak of the matter, and
very little is known beyond the fact already
stated. The silver is shipped by the Adams
Express Company, and the loss will prob
ably fall upon it unless it can be proved
that the packages containing the money
were tampered with before they came into
its possession.
LATER-Further investigation shows that
small amounts have been taken from each
of number of boxes. The indications are
that there is systematic stealing being done
and it may amount to large sum, but
