DELAWARE CITY, Nov 27.-William
Reybold, one or the most prominent and
widely known citizens Of Delaware, died
here, yesterday morning, after lingering
illness, In the 10th year of his age. He
was the second son Of Major Philip Rey-
bold, and early turned his attention to
peach growing. In order to provide
better transportation facilities for his
crop. he purchased an interest in line
Of steamboats, which piled on the Della
ware. OF late years he has not paid
much attention TO peach growing,
and hence he disposed of his
interest in that line though at the time
of his death he was large owner in the
Thomas Clyde. He had large possessions
in Delaware and Maryland, and owned
Woodland Beach, on the Delaware bay.
Captain Barney and Anthony Reybold OF
this city were his brothers. He leaves
two sons, Edwin c. and George W. Rey-
bold, and one daughter. Elizabeth, who
is the wife Of John G. Higgins. The fun
eral will take place on Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock, and the interment viii bC

nmE ARE THE PEoPLE.

Thanks are generally spontaneous.
Thew spring from the occasion and are
Abe immediate response for some benefit
received. The benefit which brings them
forth sets their tone and attunes them in
harmony with the Importance and the
beauty Of the boon.
ia friend makes gift to us we easily
and gratefully tell him Of our apprecia-
tion. II still nearer one and yet a
dearer one offers some handiwork in
testimeny Of love, our full hearts fll
again with Joy which finds expression in
words and actions eloquent because they
are truthful aud graceful because they
are modelled from natures mould
But it is quite a different thing to
attempt to be thankful, all at once, for
all the Joys Of peace and plenty happi-
ness ana safety, freedom and glory, for
All the blessings of life that citizenship
Of the greatest best, freest snd most
stable government on earth affords.
It quite another thing to look back
one hundred years and see this country
struggling infant colony dependent on
the English crown, with scarce three
nBlion souls, and then be able to gauge
our hearts or our words TO that superla
tive degree Of thankfulness which the
occasion demands.
We may differ about internal policy,
we may, as brothers, disagree concerning
different economies. we may bieker. and
perhaps contend iereely, at our polls for
the predomiuance Of one set Of ideas over
another set OF ideas, but our hearts are
true and in our minds there is the fixed
determination that we viii lSve and
defend the institutions Of ahis glorious
country against any destruction which
NAV threaten with our fortunes and our
lives.
Il Ia difficult TO rise 70 thst height Of
thAnkfulness which can express the joy
that comes to the man who lives in .
country where every man Is free, every
man be he honest and brave Is as sovereign
as sovereign can be- he stands very
monarch Of freedom, shifts the balmy
air and declares that he is a man. h
owes allegience to no king, no potentate,
no Law higher than his own viii which
makes the law that governs him.
This sovei e gn stamps the ground to h
sure that be exists and proudly raises
his ewes to Heaven in search Of the Goo
Of the universe, for there is nothing OF
earth to claim his homage.
This is why we give thanks. We giv'
thanks for freedom, for honor. for glory
for health. happiness. peace, comfort, in
dustry, wealth and stable government
such a. the sun never shone upon.
We love our country because it is tn
best country, because it is the creates
and the grandest country Of the universe
Our thanks are not a matter Of turke
and cranberry sauce, canvas backs sn'
oyster filing. They are succulent anC
delicious, but our thanks must rise fror
the bountiful board Of delicate visnds t
contemplate the spectacle Of sixty-fv
millions Of happy, contented, self GOV
srned people eongratulsting themsslve
npon having founded and for enioyin
tbe blessings Of the freest, most success
ful, boidest and most glorious govern
nent Of all ages. Of all peoples.

Health laws Need Enforcing-Dr. Bush
Discnssss Vaccination.


Diacussss Vaccination.
The State Board Of Health reconvened
yesterday afternoon. Secretary Frazer
reported that he had notified each minis
ter, undertaken and physician, whose ad-
dress he could obtain. that all births,
deaths and marriages must be recorded
with the recorder Of deeds Of the county
in which they occurred, under penalty Of
the law. He had requested Rev. K. b.
Cook 10 give him the names of the bap-
tist ministers in the state and DR.. l.. A.
Kittenger for the names OF the homeo-
pathic physicians, but neither had COM
piled with his request.
The board will have 500 circulars
printed, urging the organization Of
koards OF health In all the towns of the
state. and speaking Of the fatal results
which might come from the lack Of pro.
lection in case Of an epidemic. DIR. Bush
and Secretary Frazer were directed to
have circulars printed and distributed on
the prevention Of diphtheria, scarlet
and typhoid fever
Or. L. P. Bush read paper on yacci-
nation. he said:
"On the 2lst March, 1888, the Legisla-
ture Of this state passed IAN act to pro
vide for the vaccination OF children IN
the free schools" of the state, which re
duired all children to present satisfactory
evidence Of vaccination before being
allowed to take seats in the schools
The purpose Of this law is apparent, viz
70 prevent the spread in the school:
and communities Of one Of the
most loathsome and fatal diseases
TO which humanity is liable
II was presumed that enough interest
would be taken in this subject to induce
the school commissioners Of the various
towns ia the state to have the law exc
cuted II is to be deplored, however
that no such effect has been pronounced
outside OF Wilmington-where the Law
has been enforced-unless In 8
very few places. Il is strange
that intelligent citizens, who con
stitute the commissioners of our pub
lie school, can be so regardless of the
health and life Of the children placed
under their case as to ignore a duty of Sc
great Importance. No penalty has beer
affixed TO the law-the Legislature rea-
sonably concluded that the persons to
whom the execution of it was committed
would readily aecede to exact its require
ments"
