Another question Will be that of Sun
day games. 1t is announced that the
league will not openly declare in favor
of Sunday games, no such games being
on the schedule. But it will connive at
at Sunday bail playing by permitting
those towns which desire to play Sun
day games to do so, and count the same
championship games. No club will be
compelled to play Sunday, however.
The anti-Sunday clubs are said to be

Andrew l.. Muir, who died recently
In Chester, was born in Paisley, Scot
land, in 1892. At the age of 10 years he
came with his parents to this country
and settled at Rockdale, Delaware
county. He learned his trade as a
machinist at Bridesburg, Pa. His
parents were Scotch Presbyterians
There being no Presbyterian church at
Rockdale, they attended the ministry of
the late Bishop Lee of Delaware, then
rector of the Episcopal church, this
State. At the age of is Andrew was
confirmed in that church. On going to
Bridesburg he united with the Presby-
terrain church and became an active
member. At the age of 80 he was or
dained ruling elder in the Middle
town, Pa, church by the Rev. DIR. Dale,
then pastor. On removing to Whining
ton he was chosen an elder of First
Presbyterian Church. When Olivet
Church was organized he was asked to
become an elder there, and served in
that capacity as long as he was especi-
ally needed. 1t being far from his home
he withdrew and united with Hanover
Church In 1875 he went with his
family to Chester and soon after was
chosen an elder in Second Presbyterian
Church, in which relation he continued
until his death, His wife with two sons
and three daughters, survive him.

only other one shall notice is that the
bill is inquisitorial In that it discoses a
mans private affairs to the public view.
But even exposure is sometimes necessary
for the public good. The most delicate
condition of the body must sometimes be
exposed to the inspection of the physician
who is to prescribe remedy for the dis
order; and the diseases of the body polite
must be exposed if they cannot be other
wise cured: In such cases the exposure
becomes duty and necessity and if ii be
found that men will hide their property
in order to avoid their Just share Of the
common burdens and thus add it to that
of their honest neighbor, who is already
staggering under his load, it is neither
reason nor humanity to permit them
to do so, simply because they allege
it would expose their private affairs
to public view. Let them be Just
and honest and there will be no need
or occasion for exposure. And it should
be remembered that the farmer cannot
hide his farm or his stock for they are ex-
posed all the year round; and different
conditions require different treatment
But tits not exposure the objector
breads so much as disbursement.
But in fact no exposure is necessary or
intended. The taxable makes his return
to the assessor, a public officer, and there
it remains unthought Of and unexposed,
except to those legally entitled to know in
order to do justice between man and man
in distributing the taxes. And even this
nominal exposure is reduced to point so
slight that no reasonable man can reason
ably object to it, and those who still urge
it are either blind to the necessity or re-
CARELESS of duty.

THAT MORTGAgE DEAF.
Is it n Scheme to Induce tho State

Is It n Scheme to Induce the state to
Part With Its Eirst-CIass Security for a
Doubtful Guaranty?
Editor Gazette d Journal: The editorial of
The Morning AetGs of this date on 'iThe
State Mortgages" is most extraordinary
production, and would lead any suspicious
person to think that it had sold its columns
to some party who wished very much to
see the proposed IDEAL" with the Pennsyl-
yania railroad (Which is what is to always
be understood when the r., w. 4 B. or
the Delaware Il. r.. are mentionedJ go
through" As 1 understand the matter
the objection that has had the greatest
weight with those who have cotinselled
delay in the confirmation Of the proposed
deal is, that the State which now has the
first and binding lien on the property, was
asked to take something that was of no
value save as guaranteed by railroad
corporation which would have to be sued.
and Judgment obtained as Il result of thu
suit: before the lien could be of record, or
secure; and that then it would have to be
shared with other creditors who might he
come very much preferred in the eve Of
the law to the State. These outside and
other creditors might be parties who could
proceed at once in case Of default, and thus
obtain the first and prior lien which
the State now holds, and which claim is
not lightly to be given up. In the case
suggested the States lien would then take
rank with that which is now the second
lien Of The Farmers Loan and Trust
Company" which would thus be put in
much better and more available place to
have its interests taken care of than it is ut
present, OF that the State would be then,
for the reason that the officers Of the COM
pany could act at once, while the state
could act only after 4 meeting of the Leg
islatnre, unless a special law be passed to
command some special officer TO look
after and proceed i'll case it should
become necessary to do so, and the trust
company would--ten chances to one-be
easily able to get ahead even then. Any
business man who would make such deal
as this without the most stringent guaran-
tees, or collateral security, would be
laughed at If he got left which he would
be fully expected to do The Noruing Nelps
fully corroborates what | say in the fol-
lowing paragraph, which is "a dead give
away"
So far as the State is concerned, under the
proposed arrangement, .s existing priority
as creditor is not 10 be relinquished, "but &C.
tiiIuahed. (ihe Italics aro mlno.)
This, in an article expressly intended TO
advocate the confirmation of this deal
ought to damn it, without another word;
and if the article was intended to be pad
for-unless by some one interested in de
feating the deal he should be excused
from payment. 1t is very hard 10 UNDER
stand the position of the Ne,rS on this mat
ter; but that is not extraordinary, Us you
know.

mlddletown Methoaists Displeased.

Middletown Nesc Era SAYS: Bishop
Fowler may have done right, no doubt
he thinks he did, but if he had consulted
the wishes of the official board and the
congregation of the M. e. Church here
before announcing the appointment of
the Rev. Alfred Smith as presiding
elder of Easton district he would per-
haps have hesitated, maybe thought
second time, and surely make differ
ent decision. Rumors of the bishop's
methods of conducting business and
making assignments had preceded his
arrival in Delaware, but no one for
moment thought he would appoint
minister as an elder against the wishes
OF the brother, contrary to the expressed
desire of his congregation and particu-
larly after but one years service in the
charge, as was the case above referred
to. Without one thought of rejecting
on the successor OF Mr. Smith tine
Methodist people here wished for none
but the one who had SO faithfully served
them the past year-they loved him, and
each succeeding week but added to that
love and appreciation of their pastors
sterling worth and religious zeal in their
behalf. He was beloved by all, saint
and sinner, and while the former may
bow the head in meek submission to the
will of the bishop, and the power be-
hind the throne, the latter will never
bless the day that brought Bishop Fow-
Ter to preside over the 23d session Of
Wilmington Conference.

The Rev. w. g. Rooms, pastor of Wesley
Church, was given a reception in the lecture
room of the church on Thursday evening,
in honor of his return as pastor for the
fifth year. During the afternoon he had
been kept busy making pastoral calls and
early in the evening he OBLIGATED at two
weddings, and in consequence he received
no inkling of what was in store for him
Soon after his return home at night an
official of the church called and invited
him into the hallway connecting the
church and parsonage, and when he COM
piled the lecture room door was opened
and he was greatly surprised to see in the
room many members of his congregation
and table spread with innumerable deli
cacies. Above the table was the motto
Fifth year; welcome homen Mr. Koons
Immediately Joined the throng in the lee
ture room and after the feast had been par
taken of addresses were made by him and
representatives of the several departments
of the church.

Is the Norton Lost ?

Referring to the wrecking of the Wash
ington National Bank of New York, the
New York Continent says: sit has been
generally believed that there were three
big borrowers-one unknown, whose loans
amounted to S50,000. Mr.. Hepburn says
there are only two. j. s, Silver is one of
them. The other one is Captain Norton,
who is supposed to have lost his life in a
foolhardy attempt to cross the ocean in a
small boat about three months ago. Nor
ton got $4,000 out Of the defunct bank.
This loan was obtained through Neil Nc
Donald member of the firm Of McCracken
g. Company, of No. Il Wall street, whose
firm name figured prominently in the
story of the American Loan and Trust
Company failure. Mr. Mcdonald was the
hacker of the Norton Life-boat Company.
He had unlimited faith in Norton's life
boat patent, and the money loaned was to
enable him to push his invention in
Europe 1t is understood that an interest
In the invention was given as collateral
for the loan. The president Of the Norton
Life-boat Company is Austin Gallagher, a
clerk in McDonalds office. There is some
doubt as to Captain Norton's fate, In the
face of recent disclosures the majority re-
fuse to believe that he is lost. In any
event, nothing can be realized from the
securities given for the loan

So Young and Yet SO Tall.

Monday morning the tall blue gum
tree standing at the northeast corner Of
German Senter's house was cut down.
A careful measurement of the tree
showed it to be about lis feet high from
the ground to the topmost branch. 1t was
feet in diameter and about 12 feet in
circumference at the ground. We are
informed by Portuguese that he set the
tree out 10 years ago. Think of it A
tree only 10 years old, 115 feet high and
showing diameter in proportion. The
residents of that quarter watched the
fall Of the monarch with genuine regret,
but its great height made the cutting Of
it down a necessity, as it was liable to
break and fall on some Of the residences.
