money with which to make me dona-

donation. Even il Father De Ruyter
did have $40, 900 at his disposal, when
in reality he is $1,000 in debt, he could
not without the permission OF his
superior give me cent. Further his
superior could not allow him to take
any substantial part in this contest,
and IL Is gross injustice TO Father DE
Ruyter to mention his name in this
connection. What Father De Ruyter
did for mo consisted principally in
counting out, In company with Father
Carey, the $4,000 that received in my
rooms between Sunday night last and
the following Tuesday. All this
money was In individual sums ranging
from % cents to $500. Nearly 1900

in counting out the money that
was brought to me by the people of
this parish and the other parishes of
the diocese, 800 came from that Sec

As long as the fair was held for do

Some people have an idea that for o
drop letter for any person in the
bounds OF tho Wilmington postofiice
n cent postage stamp Is all that Is re-
quired. This Is mistake, the postage
Is two cents, the same as II sent to
Philadelphia or any other postofflce In
the United States. But the point that
interests newspaper publishers is this;
A person advertising q want" or
anything else in a newspaper, requests
answers to be sent by mail to an initial
address, but at the newspaper Office.
Frequently newspaper publishers are
compelled to pay tho odd cent on all
such letters, which are of no interest
to him whatever. A penny here and a
penny there is not much It is true, but
there is no reason why the publisher
should pay it.
He very naturally thinks that he is
aiiordlng sufficient accommodation by
permitting the letters to be addressed
to his Office, and In answering calls for
them, without being compelled to pay
half the postage on them. II IN. Az
or IS. K will call at the REPUBLICAN
Office they will each find a letter, the
postage of which was only half paid
when put In the postoffice. Persons
advertising in this manner had better
pay the full postage and make sure of
their answers. SO far as the REPUBI.I-
CAN Is concerned, such letters stand a
chance of being left In the postofIice
and of being sent to the dead letter
department.

Ia grippe" is again getting in its
fine work in this city, and last week
some physicians had as many as
twenty-five cases. 1t Is estimated by
some that there are fully / 800 persons
suffering with II In this city at present.
Fortunately 1t Is In much milder
form than was the visitation last year,
and as a general rule IL runs its course
in few days. The first symptoms
are dull pain over the eyes. COM
bined with fullness in the head and a
desire to frequently sneeze. As the
disease progresses the eyes become in
famed and watery, while the pain in
the head Increases. This is accompa-
MED with feeling OF general debility
which affects the whole system, and
causes a person to feel unable to walk
n square. Physicians say there is no
cause for alarm, and that week of
clear, frosty weather will drive the
disease from the city.

WILKEsDARRE, Pa, Feb. l5.-Martin
Badger, track walker on the Centr5l
Railroad OF New Jersey, had remark
able experience last night. About q
O'Clock no WAS walking on the track
through what Is known as tho Rock
Cut, along the mountain, about five
miles from this city. All at once he
heard noise behind him, and turning,
saw two bears come crashing through
the unCerbrush and down the side OF
the cut upon the railroad track. With
out moments hesitation they turned
and rushe | toward him. They were
evidently "a huge she bear and her
half-grown cub, and both were wild
with hunger.
Badger having no weapons to defend
himself. turned and fled at the top OF
mis- spec d up the track The bears pnr-
sued. ind for fully half q mile the
chase continued. Badger maintained
his lead with the utmost difficulty, and
was fast being exhausted. He must
soon have sunk down helpless to meet
a horrit lie death when the glare OF a
headlip hit shot around curve, aud a
train came laundering along. Badger
signaled 1t with his lantern, and then
jumped aside. The bears fled when
the train drew near, and when it
stopped the exhausted track walker
got on board AMI was brought back to
this city.

Deputy Sheriff Groshong, Of San

burglar the other day for the purpose
OF ascertaining what marks were on
his body, which Information was de-
sired for the records OF the ''rogues'
gallery" The convict began to laugh
as he proceeded to obey, and the rea-
son was soon apparent. When he had
removed all the ordinary clothing that
a man wears, says the Chronicle, he
stood there arIayed in an expensive
suit OF ladies underwear and pair of
eorsets. Groshong was amazed
''What on earth do you wear those
things for?n he asked.
"Oh, you fellows amt on" the pris-
oner exclaimed. "You see, when go
into a house at night the first thing |
do is to take OF all my clothes except
these. then If anybody happens to

Scriptural Getting Rich.

In Grace Baptist Church yesterday
forenoon, Rev. Vim. w. Campbell
taught some of the essentials OF pet
ting rich Scripturally.
His texts We're: Prov. III: 0, 10
Honour the Lord with thy substance
and the first fruits of all thine in,
crease"
$50 shall thy barns be filled with
plenty, and thy presses shall burst out
with new wine"
And Malachi III; 10: Bring ye all
the tlthes into the storehouse. that
there may he meat In mine house, and
prove mo now herewith, saith the Lord
of hosts, II will not open you the
windows Of heaven, and pour you ont
a blessing that there shall not be room
enough to receive it,"
The speaker cited scrlptural and con-
temporaneon5 history, including a
Geographic sketch of John p. Grozier,
founder of Theological Seminary,
who at first gave one-tenth of his in
come, then one-fifth. then one;kalf,
then all over n certain amount, Ind
was still able to draw his check for
S25, 900 for Christianity, and also to
found great institution of learning.
The sabbath day Is the time to give
the Lord one-tenth of the earnings of
the previous week.
Some nleiI honor themselves with
their substance before they honor God,
and do not give the first fruits OF their
increase, but some of the surplus
which il is no Inconvenience to part
with.
Some such are able to be quite CON
spicuous gt ers without being entitled
70 the bene Is of the promises in the
Bible.
The texts were demonstrated in a
clear and forcfble manner.
