COMFORT POWDER
FOR THE BABY!

In the case of infants the care of the skin
Is Of great Importance.
Scalding from urine, and the resultant
eczema and chafing frequently cause the
most intense pain to the infant, and is more
frequently attributed to collie than to It's true
cause. Words can hardly describe the in
slant and great relief resulting from the use
OF COMFORT POWDER. Baby Powders are
usually made Of powdered rice or starch, and
few hours after being applied they swell
and ferment. and the trouble Is increased in
stead Of relieved.
If the child's skin is already red and
eczematous, first apply COMFORT POWDER
freely, and In an hour or two wash with
warm water and a fine. pure soap. Dry
thoroughly by pattlng gently with a soft
cloth. Then apply the COMFORT POWDER
two or three times.
Avoid washing as much as possible consist
ent with cleanliness, but keep the skin dry
and well powdered.
When the skin Is healthy, the constant
use Of COMFORT POWDER will preserve 1t
and add greatly to the comfort ofthe child.

CONSTABLE NEUTzE FINED.
He Assaulted a Coiored Woman and it
Cost Him Twenty-Five Dollars.


Frederick w. Neutze, county con-
stable, was before Judge Ball on Thurs
day, on the charge of assault and bat
terry on Margaret Burton, colored
woman. She testified that she heard
knock at the front door, which was
standing open, and when she went there
Neutze asked her where Julia Hogan
was. She replied that she did not know,
as Julia had not been in her house for
some time. Neutze told her she was
lying, that he had been told that the
Hogan woman was in the house and he
had warrant to arrest her, Margaret
still persisted that Julia was not there,
when Neutze grabbed her by the
shoulders and pushed her against the
wall and choked her. Neutze had no
refuting witnesses, and did not deny the
statement as made by the prosecuting
witness.
Judge Ball, in pronouncing sentence,
said: "This court always endeavors to
defend the rights of an officer in the
performance of his duty, but it must, as
we'll, defend the rights Of the law-abid-
ing citizens of this city. In our opinion
this was brutal and aggravated assault
upon one of them, and we also do not
think that you are a proper person to
hold the office that has been bestowed
on you. The sentence of this court is
that you suffer the fine of $25 and
costs"

Among the passengers on an up
Delaware train Friday evening was an
infant which cried loud and long. The
cchild's mother could not quiet it and
her annoyance was great. Turning in
his seat a newspaper man took the babe
from the woman's grasp, lifted it over
to where he sat and placed it on his
knee, when it began to scream more
Justify. Thereupon his companion, a
prominent State official, took it from
him, but his efforts to soothe the tot
were unavailing. Finally the newspaper
man grabbed the youngster, put its head
on his shoulder, stepped out in the aisle
and walked up and down until the
child went to sleep. Returning to his
seat he held the sleeping infant until
the train entered the city. He was
heartily congratulated by his fellow
passengers and he feels highly elated be-
cause he accomplished what the official
could not do.

Lathly Nichols Of Thomastown, Me-,
whose diseased arm was recently am
putated, experienced some remarkable
sensations after the operation had been
completed. After amputation the arm was
placed in box in a somewhat cramped
position and Nichols complained
of severe pain. Without his knowledge
the arm was placed in u more natural
position, whereupon he expressed great
relief. AS the missing member was
carried away he indicated to those
around him just how the box was
moved, and when it was tipped from
level he felt considerable pain. He told
when 1t was placed in the ground, and
indicated by gestures with his remain
ing arm every shovelful Of earth that
was thrown upon it, expressing much
relief when the interment was over.

Fire OH CresswelI's Farm.

ELKToN, Aug. 21.-A fire this after
noon on the home farm of Hon. John
A. j. Creswell, near Elkton, destroyed
two large hay barracks, 60 tons of hay,
800 bushels wheat, 1000 bushels oats,
and thrashing machine valued at $500,
which was in operation at the time.
The loss to Mr.. Creswell Is estimated
at $4,000; insured for $500 in the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company
of Cecil county. The origin Of
the fire is unknown, but it is thought
to have started from match passing
through the machine, igniting and lodg-
ing in the straw at the end of the ma
chine. The wind at the time was blow
ing hard from the south h-west, and only
by the greatest effort was tenant-house
near by saved from flying sparks.

THE GRANG ERs AND LEGIsLAToRs
After Busy Session of Three Days at
Kehoboth They Leave for Home--The
Freight Question Discussed.


The meetings of the Grangers and
members of the Legislature, which have
been in session at Rehoboth for the past
three days, were brought to o termina-
ton on Friday when the legislators and
Changers left for home.
At an important meeting held by the
Changers on Thursday evening, behind
closed doors, the question of the freight
rates demanded by the railroad COM
pany was discussed at some length.
Mortimer Whitehead, the lecturer of the
National Grange, was present and made
an address. The Grangers were given
an opportunity to express their senti-
ments on the freight question, which
they did with much frankness.
Tie question which interested the
Changers much was the decision Of the
Interstate commerce commission last
spring, which decided that the railroad
company should reduce its rates on
peaches go per cent, and 25 per cent on
truck. The railroad company, it is
claimed, has not yet made the reduction
and the old rates prevail. The Grangers
concluded to keep up the fight and
adopted these resolutions.
RESOLVED AS the sense of this meeting,
that we have full confidence in the iudg-
ment and fidelity Of our executive commit
tee, and that we hereby extend our thanks
for their fidelity and efficiency, and con-
gratulate them upon their success in prose-
cutting to favorable issue the suit against
the railroads, for reduced rates
ResolOed further, That we hereby pledge
them our cordial support in conducting
any further proceedings they may deem
proper or necessary, not only by our
sympathy and encouragement, but also
by whatever material aid that may be re-
quired.
The State Grange executive commit
tee having charge Of the railroad case ia
composed of Representative John G.
Higgins of Delaware City, E. II. Ban
croft, Wyoming, and S. Harrington
Messick of Bridgeville.
During the meeting Of the Grangers
and legislators, Lecturer Whitehead ex-
pressed his satisfaction of the Mckinley
act and said last year the importation of
barley into this country amounted to
100000 bushels. He held that the
Mckinley act increasing the duty on
the grain caused the farmers in the
United States this year to raise more
barley than ever, and he thought this
was evidence of the benefits of protec-
tive tariff.
After all the business of the three
days session was over with, "full
dress" ball was given in the dining
room of the Hotel Henlopen, Thursday
evening, in honor of the General AS
sembly, which proved a success.
After expressing their satisfaction at
the proceedings of the meetings the
Grangers took their departure after the
hop and that ended the session.
