The DEL SARTE SYSTEM.

Polite society is just now cultivating
a branch of art which does not interest
the ordinary mortal, nor does it appeal
to the rabble. The Del Sarte system,
as 1t Is practiced in American towns at
present, consists of various pOstures.
attitudes supposed to be popular
among the Greek gods and goddesses /;
minute directions of rising and reseat-
ing one's-self. The complications
emanating from dropping the hand
keTchief on the street, in the parlor or
on the staircase, are given close atten-
attention and carefully expressed rules
furnished for the proper picking up of
the same, since the motions vary ma
terally with the situation.
Then there are gymnastiC exercises
for decreasing too rOtund thigh Joint:
others for augumenting a hip joint
where nature has been too parsimon-
ious. The old fashioned hand shake
and welcome are no longer to be toll
Grated. We now have a right and
left movement of finger tips joined near
the waistline, not after the manner of
our uncOuth anceastOTs, but parallel
with the eyebrow. Thus people of the
greatest politeness do not stare at each
other when greeting, nor exhibit any
perturbation or undue excitement at
sight of an old friend.
There is nothing which exposes a
lady to greater dangers than a too

with these necessary formulas. Strange
enough, all this fatuity belongs to the
American teacher of this system.
Nine. Del Sarte has been in this Csun-
try for the past two months, giving
lectures and readings explanatory of
the method founded by her father and
called after his name. Nine. Del Sarte
was his favOrite pupil, and the one
who most exhaustiVely carried out the
ideas of the great master. Those who
expsCted to see in this apostle of ex-
preston any exaggerated manner, or
any of the nonsense taught in our
schools, are sadly disappointed. In

intended to be expressed, so that there
is not one superfluOus muscular move,
ment.
A natural and unconscious manner
has something so agreeable in it that it
is no wonder IL at there is this present
strainiug after it. But at the same
time it is so hard to catch when not
Unborn, that We are apt to make our
selves ridiculous attempting to COM
pass it. There is nothing more ludi-
Orous than the efforts of a would be
disciple, captivated with the newly
found posing and aestheticism. A
perfect lady, who is also a sensible
woman, will never betray these ac-
quired fopperies. - POnkers Statesman.

Real Amazons.

Among the numerous army of veterans
which came to this capital Sunday we

or son fighting for his rights, but also

A Tuckahoe Pastor Called.

The Mount I'ernon Argus, Westches-
ter, Co., n. Y, has the following in
reference to former minister of the
Wilmington Conference:
The Rev. Edmund Leveridge Hof-
fecker, for the past four years the pop
ular and successful pastor of the As
bury NJ. Z. Church, Tuckahoe, has
been extended an invitation by the
congregation Of the Church of the Saw
iOur in lO9th street, New York city. to
become their pastor for the ensuing
conference year Mr.. HOfeeker is now
considering their proposition.
Mr. HOfiecker has been signallv sue
cesstul in his pastorate there, and his
parishioners are loath to let him go
from them, in fact have invited him to
remain for TIE fifth and last year
under the rule of the Conference.
He will regret to leave them as we
well know, having enjoyed the conf
deHce and esteem of all since he came
among them. The church has pros
pered and It's field of influence broad
ened under his pastOrate.
The congregation to which he
in all probability will go, will find in
him a man ofexcellent parts, profound
thinker, student and a preacher of
pleasing address.

Prohibition in Iowa will probably be
broken down by local option SOmpro-
mise. A bill has been prepared which
will leave the prohibition laws in force
in all places of less than 2O00 inhabi-
tants, and allow a vote to be taken in
towns of 2000 inhabitants or more, as
to whether or not licenses to sell liquor
shall be granted. The license fee is to
be from $1,000 to $500, and saloon
keepers are to be required to give
bonds for $4,000 each conditioned
upon their observance of the liquor
laws of the State. The local option
bill appears to have the support of
some prohibitionists who despair of
having the prohibition law enforced in
the river towns.

Local Option Campaign.
ONE To BE INAUGURATED BY CHURCHES
AND TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.


At the Wilmington NJ. Z. Preachers
Association last week the committee
on temperance submitted the follow
ing report, which was accepted, and
the committee was continued:
Your committee on temperance
would report the result of the meeting
OF representatives of churches and
temperance organizations of this city
held February 18th. 1t was the
thought of that meeting that a cam
paign of agitation and education
should be opened as vigorously and at
as early a.date rs possible, but that it
must have some definite issue or it will
be valueless. 1t was decided to inaug-
urate campaign looking to the in
provement of our laws, an agitation
whose aim should be: First. the secur-
ing of greater restrictions about our
present laws. Second, the passage of
a local option law by our Legislature.
A committee was suggested, consisting
OF minister and laymen from each de
nomination and two members from
each organization, of which the Rev.
John ID. {. Hanna should be chairman,
to open this campaign by calling a
mass meeting in Wilmington at an
early date, to make sentiment here
along the line suggested above.

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, cOnclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like a stimulant
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

 "The White Squadron"
 "The White Squadron" proved a strong attraction at the opera house last night and the large audience present was liberal in applause, which is some thing new for Waterbury, the most critical town in the state. "The White squadron Is scenlC drama ln every act of which is displayed a fine set of mechanical and beautiful scenery. It deals with contemporary American events of maritime character. The scenes are laid aboard an American man-of-war and in South America. Some of the episodes suggest the recent difficulty with Chilli. The cast is a strong one, including several Water bury favorites. The scenery represents large outlay and was arranged to good advantage on the Jacques stage 1 which the manager says is one of the I best he has found since leaving New York. Tie play will be repeated this evening.

The Express Muddle on the New York X
 New England
 The express business on the New York X New England road is in & double headed state, both the United States and the American companies do- ing business over the line. The New York supreme court has enjoined the road from contracting with the Ameri- can company for the next five years on the ground that it has rejected a better offer and guaranteed the company an income, which will cost the road $110,0 during the five years. The United States company has also obtained an in- junction restraining the American com pany from contracting with the road, and restraining the road from doing an express business over it's own lines. There are rumorS that these complica- tions have caused a coolness between President Parsons of the New York & New England and President Mcleod of the Reading system.
 A dispatch from the Boston New S Bureau this afternoon states that F. H. Prince has secured control of the Con- necticut River road for cash. presum- ably in the interest of the Boston 6 Maine and New York 6 New England roads. This will be a most valuable ad- iunct to both of these systems. Shares of the road were sold this afternoon for as high as $35O.
 There is a general movement to com- pei railroads to adopt a 2-cents-per-p1ile fare Much of the through business is already handled at this rate or less, and the argument is that if roads can grant this rate on through business, they should be equally generous with local business. The New York. New Haven line have established 2-cent rate, and find it satisfactory.
