A number of levy courtmen and others
assembled to witness the final turn on.
The upright braces on the bridge are
being painted red and green.
The railing for the edge of the foot
walk arrived this morning and is being
put in place The foot walk will be about
five inches higher than the main road
way. The approaches to the bridge are
being filled up level with Stag.
A very strong wind was blowing at the
time the bridge was put on and it was
turned with some difficulty.
The roadway will be all covered to day

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Jan. l3-The death Of

popular. He was about 45 years Of age
at his death, and before he took up his

home near FELTON, on Saturday morning
The funeral OF Charles Conxling, who
died at his home near Cowgill's Corner,

was very largely attended. The deceased
was a cousin Of Roscoe Conkling Of New

was a man OF means.

erman street feed and provision dealer,
who owns q horse that he himself thinks
has "speed" hidden away somewhere
about his anatomy. This merchant has
a mania for betting, il is said, especially
on his own nag, and last week he offered
$50 to $50 that the horse could walk
away from anything in town. Lew.
Smith, the restauranteur of Dover, took
up the feed dealer so quick that the
| stakeholder had the cash before
he realized it. Then Lew. picked
out DIR. Twilley's doc" to pit against
the merchants steed. A day or SO after
doc" trotted against Annie g., Jacob
Lewis's speedy little mare and beat her
in two straight heats. This frightened
the feed dealer and he begged off so hare
that Lew let him off with an oyster
supper, costing about 50. But all th'
same those who know him best say thai
his propensity for betting is forever
cured.
Revival services began at the NJ. E

Mankind should make Heaven the goa

st. Luke, 1910; He that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also in
much. He said in part: "Our standard

Small actions may be caused by as lofty
principles as great actions Many Chris

the small actions come from small aims
and great actions from large aims Faith
fulness is a high principle in whatever
form it may be. 1t is far harder thing to
live all of life for Christ than TO dieIonce.for
Him. All honor to those who with no ex-
element. no crisis, have gone in the path
of faithfulness unknown to men, yet
written in the Lambs Book Of Life
Little things, small duties, are ways Of
clarifying Christ. Be faithful In that
which is least, for it is preparation for
a wider sphere Every temptation re-.
sisted leaves us stronger, every act Of
obedience makes the road of life easier.
