Cigarettes Among Bows.

The good women ofthe w. C.T.U
whose intense desire is to have onI
boys grow up to be good and useful
men, are very much exercised over the
lScC tnat the cigarette habit is growing
aaiarmlngly prevalent among our youth,
They would shield them from the
smaller vices, lest thereby they be led
on into worse ones, and it was through
theIr influence that the law protecting
the young from the cigarette vender
was passed. In having this law en-
acted they were actuated only bv the
highest regard for our youths-to help
them that much to grow up without
contracting bad habits. To this end
they had the Legislative act printed
and circulated. This was done because
sbopkeepers have violated the law.
possibly in ignorance of its provisions:
and older persons have purchased for
boys in violation of the act and therebv
rendered themselves liable to the pen.

THANKSGIVING DAY is preeminently
the clergyman's day, being the one
day that custom grants the privilege
of taking a wider range of view-the
country and what pertains to its well
fare-as well as the pastoral and spir-
itual duties in seeing after their hocks
throughout the year. Thus many
ministers on Thursday declaimed
against this or that feature of the po-
litical, ecclesiastical or social life that
had in it dangers present or prospec-
tive. Rev. Alfred Smith thus saw and
spoke, as is given in a portion of his
discourse in another column. But few
persons have yet reached the altitude
attained by Mr.. Smith on the posi-
bilities, or, perhaps we should say, the
purposes of the gospel in reaching a
more perfect and civil condition of So
ciety through the coordinate work of
the sexes. The ordinary man is a
creature of circumstances, thinking
only of the best he can get out of the
things of to-day, with little concern
for what should be. This is essen
TALLY so of the machine politician.
The minister, knowing that good gov
ernments and good laws are essential
to advanced civilization, very natur-
ally revOlves questions in his mind
leading to important results, that
never enter the head of the conserva-
tive man.

Behavior at the Opera House.

A shakespearean play with an actor
like James Young as the star perfor.
mer In a selected troupe, is q oompli-
ment to town, and In fact Smyrna
was the only place in Delaware in
which he stopped, going from here
direct to Easton, Pa.
A large class of people are mot NM
on Shakespeare with his wonderful
mastery Of ideas and language, as thew
are with simple comedy or minstrel
show, apd from this want of histironIc
knowledge may not i'catoh" on readily
to such characters as are presented in
the play of Hamlet. For this or some
other reason, there were a few noisy
persons in the Opera House Thursday
night, talking whistling, or in some way
annoying the audience On two or
three -ccasions the actors were in a
measure distracted by the confusion.
The noise seemed to be mostly traced
to set of boys who slipped up In the
gallery at the end of the first act. who
have no appreciation beyond a rough
minstrels joke, or regard for the audi.
ence below who may be put out by
such conduct. The natural supposition
would be that no one would want TO be
there who hadn't interest enough 10 be
quiet and attentive. The Hall Com.
mittee should guard this matter more
carefully, especially while the Institute
is here.
A part of the noise came from a
dozen or so Of colored people who we're
IN the east side Of the gallery. Besides
talking, 1t seems 10 be peculiarity of
the eolored people to bray out with a
laugh in the most solemn or tragic
parts when the main part OF the audi
ence are absorbed with intense quiet
or emotion. A laugh at such times Ia
lncongruous, and thoroughly proyoks
ing. People white or black WHO do
not know when to laugh aud when to
weep, would do well to wait for those
who do, to lead of.

The Harris will case which has been
going on for the past ten days before
a sheriff's jury at Dover, has occupied
large share of the public mind. 1t
has furnished matter for two or three
columns of the daily papers of Will
mingtOn each day. The citizens of
Dover, and the county as we'll, seem to
be divided into two classes, those who
have conspired to get a finger into the
pie in handling the old mans money,
and those who look upon their plot
tings as shameful and discreditable to
