A NEW SPORTING RESORT.

Fenwick's Island Purchased by Clerk
Layton and Handsome Club
House to Be Built.
land deal between Clerk John H. lay
ton, of the House of Representatives, and
DR.. F, NJ. Gum, of Frankfofd, Sussex
county, was made few days ago. 1t in
volved the purchase by the former of one
half of Fenwick's Island, the price
paid being $500. Several years ago
it was sold for $4,000 but
the title was not confirmed because the
failure of Jay Cooke drove the purchasers
into insolvency. Clerk Layton says it is
probable that a handsome sporting lodge
and club house will be built on the island
The other half of the Island is owned
by w. A Gum, late Clerk of the House.
A bill has been introduced into the Della
ware Legislature asking for the incorpor-
alton of the Fenwick Gun Club, and it is
determined to make the island far more
favorable resort than Hog Island.

MYSTERIESl
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centers, located In or near
the base OF the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve huid are also deranged When it Is re-
membered that a serious Injury 70 the spinal
cord Will cause paralysis Of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, # will be understood how
the arrangement OF the nerve centers viii
cause the arrangement Of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWO-thtrds Of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
the Dase or the bratnt not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ It
self. The great mistake OF physicians I'm
treating these diseases IS that they treat the
are the cause OF the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
etatist,has profoundly studied this subject Tor
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In connec tiOn with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods Of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
pess, dullnessY confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, st.
Nltus dance, ETC., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success Of
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
TACT thatitis based on the foregoing prime pie.

THE Classical School had an auspi-
cious opening on Wednesday morning
Thirty one pupils presented themselves
for enrolment and a number of parents
attended the opening exercises. Prof.
Sloss briefly welcomed the pupils, assur-
ing them that though there would abund-
ant opportunities for play the primary
purpose of this meeting together was Tor
work. Pey. H. L, Bunstein then made
few friendly remarks on the moral infiu-
ence teachers i'll non-religious schools
should have over their pupils. Rev B. }.
Savage in some aptly turned sentences
pointed ont that classical Schoo" IN
accordance with its name should be
"6rst.class" school both IN the character
of its pupils and its instruction. Rev.
T. s. Willis closed the exercises in his
usual iuimitable vein. He spoke first OF
school trials and hardships, saying that
though they were real they must always
be regarded as preparatory for the trials
of after life. He urged the pupils to
strive for attainment of ideas and sound
principles in their work and cautioned
them to respect each other as well as their
teachers The school began regular
sessions Wednesday and will be fairly or
ganized an settled down to work by the
end of the eek. A new feature which
is noticed with pleasure is the occupation
of one of the rooms by Miss McKim's S
kindergarten. Pupils may now continue
in the same building from the time OF
their first schooling till they are ready to
enter college. A good select school IS
much needed in this locality and II an
academy can be built up into boarding
school. drawing pupils from distance 1t
will be a splendid thing for Milford. We
wish Prof. Sloss full success in his etterts
in this direction,
