Death of a Former Cecil

Bernard McCafferty, ST., former resi-
dent of Cecil county died at the residence
of his son Michael F. McCafferty, il
Wilmington, Del, on Monday last aged
81 years.
lie was native of county Westmeath,
Ireland. In 1917, with his large family
he emigrated to this country and settled
in Delaware, near the home of the late
DIR. Veasey at Summit Bridge. After
one year he moved over into Cecil county
near Chesapeake City and commenced
farming, in which vocation he was sue
cessful. While there an agent of So
ciety of Georgetown, d. C., influenced
him to move on farm owned by it in St.
Mary's county, Md. where he succeeded
beyond expectation. The tract, 1000
acres, was finally sold to Messrs. Comfy
and Dougherty, of New Castle, Del. Mr..
McCafferty, who had purchased farm
for himself, sold it also, and in 1861
transferred his family to Wilmington,
where his eldest son had preceded him.
He resided in this city from that time or.
Mr.. McCatferty was always a staunch
Democrat, having voted for every Presi-
dental candidate on the Democratic tic
ket from Buchanan to Cleveland. In
religion he was a consistent Catholic and
died well fortified with the blessings of
the faith. A widow and seven children
with % grandchildren anc three great
grandchildren survive him. The funeral
HOP Reed street, on Thursday morning.
High mass was celebrated at o'clock at

To the Voters of Cecil County

The Auti-License League of Cecil County
was organized for the single purpose of de-
Tending the prohibition law as it now is.
This is therefore strictly defensive league.
l demands nothing but that which We have
already. Believing the law to be good and
to be for the best interests of the people we
ask that it be let alone. Is this reasonable
or tanatical? Are we asking any thing that
Is unjust or that is adverse to the prosper
ity and happiness of the people? If we are,
let the friends of Che license law demon
strate the fact, Let them openly explain to
the people the benefits to be derived from
licensed bar rooms and saloons; the value of
money spent in these places TO the wife and
children; the value to parents whose sons
are to be exposed to the temptations of Ii
censed dram shops, and the value to both
fathers and sons of this same temptation.
We oppose what we believe to be IN evil,
and if there is any good in it, we demand
that it be pointed out, if there is any thing
beneficial to the moral and material well
being of society, let it be shown. Certainly
if there is moral value in dram selling and
uldlu vi III oOiuc OuC Sah ICil 10 w ~
is, and how the dram shops have proved
blessing to the people.
But it is said, prohibition does not pro-
hibit and therefore it is better to have Ii
censed and regulated bar rooms than illicet
dealers Are licensed liquors any less apt to
make druukards than unlicensed? DID the
license law of ten years ago tend to So
briefly and morality? Was it not violated
altogether as much as the present law is?
Was it in fact a good law, and if so why did
the people demand its repeal and prohibi-
ton substitute for it?
And if it was a curse to the people ten
and four years ago, what has occurred since
to make it desirable? Are dram drinking,
drunkenness and debauchery lesser evils
now than then?
Again, It is said that the present law en-
tails heavy expense upon the county.
Without admitting this to be a fact, but
whether it is SO or not, we reply that every
thing of value is costly. To suppress crime
of all kinds is costly; churches are costly;
aims houses are costly; jails are costly;
schools are costly, and good roads are costly,
and the only question is are they worth the
cost? If the licensed sale of Intoxicating
drinks in Cecil is good thing to have, let
| us have it. If it is curse let us continue
| to prohibit its sale and count the cost as
nothing. The most costly thing to the peo-
pie is that which brings ruin to their homes.
| If ruin is desirable vote for license If good
order. peace and prosperity are desirable
| vote against 1t.
Knowing that rum is ruin to its victims;
ruin to their homes, their wives and chill
dren; knowing from all the experience of
the past that licensed bar rooms draw in
their victims as sure as the sun draws
water from the ocean, bays and rivers, we
| appeal to the voters of Cecil county to come
to the polls on the 4th of November and
| sustain the law as we now have it. We can
not have better law, we can easily have
worse.

ming knife used by the Indians in tan.
ming is also an interestir G feature. One

as the Indians used for grinding corn is
in the collection.

The musical and literary entertainment
for the benefit of Crouch Chapel atOdd Fer
lows Hall on Tuesday evening was pro.
nounced success, not oaiy IN the merit OF
the performance, but as well III the size and
character of the audience, which shared the
pleasure of the programme. The success ot
the entertainment was augmented by the
taste displayed by the managers OF 1t in the
setting of the Stage, which instead OF being
conspicuous for its baroness aud lack OF
furnishings, presented the pleasing picture
of ii modern drawing room, 10 which The
floral skill of an East End lady contributed
no little The opening number ~ the even
ing WAS a trio bv Miss Maud Shure, of
Hayre de Grace, and Messrs. l.. j. flnnan
and 7. S. Smith, of Elkton. We nave had
occasion before to indulge favorable COM
ment on Miss Shure's rendition of numbers
on the programme, far above the average of
amateur performances. To the natural gift
of soprano voice of a high register, she
adds the accomplishment OF high and sue
successful vocal culture Her accent IL eN-
cellent and her rendition of the sentiment
of the music, intelligent and culturede Her
solo, THE Flower Girl" offered the audi
ence an opportunity to Judge the quality of
her voice, and which was vociterously APP
plauded We wish Miss Mrggett to accept
a sincere compliment upon the sweetness of
her voice, which was only equailed by the
unpretentiouS bur no less effective rendition
of her solo, wv ho'll Buy My Black cherries y
In the quartette parts Miss Clara Scott aud
Miss Bertha McNeal sustained very excel
lent altos, both the Messrs. Davis agreaably
surprising their audience by creditah bic vo
calism. OF the instrumental performance
OF Miss Marie Davis. we have only words
of praise, her method at the piano indicLt-
lug thorough education and ease. Miss
Minnie Harlan's Rotations of the evening
only confirmed the favorable impression
heretofore made by her in f kton. Her
selections were well chosen and her delivery
refined aud pleasing. OF Mr.. Flnnan's sJlo,
"Aucbored,' we have only to say that 1t
exhibited at its best, well trained voice,
which intelligent cultivation has placed
entirely at his command. IL is not fulsome
criticism of Mr.. FInnan to say that he is IA
capable tenor singer and that his most pro.
longed notes are not accompanied by disa
or, cable facial contortions so frequently
exhibited both by professional and amateur
tenors. Mr. I. S. Smith sustained the base
parts on the programme very creditably,
not over balancing the other parts by dis
cordaut volumes of sound rather than of
music. In its entirety the programme was
sell chosen ard excellently rendered the
general verdict of the audience being that
the entertainment was what we termed it
at the opening of his hurried notice, a pro-
nOuuCed success.
