Letter From CheswnId

Our village flag was hOisted early on
the mOrnin z of the god in memory
of the,inmOrtal Washington.
The entertainment given on last Fri.
day night by our public school, was
highly interesting and reflects great
credit upon our teachers and pupils.
1t is highly probable that the same
programme will be repeated some time
in March.
Rev. Samuel McWilliqms, occupied
ChesWOld's pulpit on last Sunday even
ing. He preached an interesting ser.
mon. The audience was large and
attentive. The church without a pas
tor moves forward
Mr.. T. r. George will move to his
farm near Leipsio
Mr.. Arthur P. Jones will occupy his
house here.
Mr.. John Moore retires from his
farm and will occupy his house lately
purchased in Cheswold.
There is more moving than usual
this spriag,
DR.. Will Barnard of Middletown,
was the guest of his sister, Mrs. w. F..
Collins, for few days.
Mr.. f. J. Wilson has returned to his
home in Harrington.
Miss Agnes Garrison, of KentOn, is
visiting her grand parents here.
Mr.. j. II. Baines, of Baltimore, was
In town Monday.
Mr. W. S. Hardcastle and Mr.. Clar-
ence Hazel, spent part of the week in
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Minos COnoway of near town, is
seriously i'll.
Although we have busy little town
it does not stop people from getting
sick. Dr. J. NJ. Smith, our always kind
and genial doctor, becomes almost
tired out, as he is called on from every
direction. EsMERELDA.

| New and Handsome Residence.

n NOW anu hanuS0m6 heSluence.
DR.. ]. r. McCausland has gotten
into his new home on the lot bought of
Mrs: Mary j. Bewley, adjoining her
residence, though not entirely fixed as
they desire and intend, because of
delays in some of the material, notably
the tiling for the open CRATE of the
sitting room, which will be heated
with gas burners from an asbestos
log.
The DOCTORS office is through the
central front door and hall, but cut off
from the dwelling part by doors of
solld oak and cut glass across the large
hall, turning the visitor in search of
the Doctors office directly to the
right into the waiting room, his private
office being in the rear of this. These
two rooms are very complete fO: the
purpose intended.
a striking feature of the structure is
its large halls on both the first and
second floors, and the second are the
bay windows above and below, and
q third might be named-tbe wide
porches that encircle a greater part of
the house. On the opposite side of the
hall from the medical department is
the parlor and library, and in the rear
OF all, the dining room and kitchen,
including pantry, cupbOards and ample
cellar below.
The ascent up an attractive stairway
is into a hall and thence to five bed
chambers, dressing room, bath room,
and alcove or conservatory enclosed
in glass The third floor is only used
now for storeroom. The space COW
cred by the house is 40x60. 1t is heated
by steam, lighted with gas and has hot
and cold water, electric bells and in all
its appointments is a most attractive
home.

Inspecting Quarantine Sites

Friday large delegation of promi-
nent Philadelphials and Baltimoreans
including the port physicians OF Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, the quarantine
commissioners of Pennsylvania, dele
gates from the Board of Health of
Philadelphia, and two or three repre-.
senntatives of the Baltimore board.
several pilots and members OF the
Board OF Port Wardens of Philadel-
phia, took a trip down 90 make a COM
plete inspection of Reedy island.
which IS one of the proposed sites for
the new quarantine station. The trip
was both successful and enjoyable, and
II Is believed that Reedy Island will be
chosen even In preference 70 Bombay
Hook. This would frighten tho peo-
pie of Delaware City as badly as It has
already scared the townspeOple of
smyrna, Delaware City being in sight
of the island.
Reedy Island is said to have more
advantages than Bombay Hook as a
quarantine site. 1t is Just between the
western and eastern channels and di.
rectly in the course of all incoming
vessels. New Castle people think the
island uncomfortably near to nurse
Asiatic cholera patients, and are ready
to protest.

The Smelling Rec.

Street and sidewalk were glaze of
ice last Wednesday night, but a large
and merry company gathered at the
town hall, to eat aud spell. The ta-
bles began to minister to the needs Of
the inner man about o'clock, and
ceased not until the retiring hours pro-
claimed it time to fast. The usual and
favOrite dainties, perhaps little more
than usually delicious, were served
ahundantly. About $50, lull began,
and expectation awaited The Spelling
Bee. The leaders of the opposing
sides, c. B. Taylor aud J. Ed. HofIec-
ker, then succeeded in developing a
remarkable and in some cases most un.
expected amount of difference among
the company. Ats o'clock each gen
eral marshaled a squadron of ten spell
lers, eager and anxious, upon the floor.
The "pedagogue," Mr.. Adams, read
the rules agreed upon, and asked Mr..
HOfiecker to spell "wretched" then the
play of words began. When the sec
Ond round began, but II were ''in it,"
One after another triumphed and then
fell. The difficulty of catching the
words proved greater than was antici-
pated, so number unfortunately went
down on misunderstaudings. Each
defeat was greeted by melancholy
strain from a hags-vol in the gallery.

bill known as No. III, and is entitled
IAN act to amend an act entitled AN

There is feeling that the bill will

The question Of building a new boat
to increase the facilities of transporta-
tion between this town and Philadel-
phia, has been before the people for
some time. The successful carrying
out of the enterprise was contingent on
the subscription Of 5000 in as small
lots as one share at par value, twenty
Eve dollars,
While the necessity of such an inn
provement in service is appreciated
aud the safety and pro6tableness not
doubted, yet the desire seems to be to
have some one else put up the money
and we share the benefits. Under
these circumstances it is highly prob
able that no boat will be built aud we
will have TO continue with present fa-
cilities or possibly a grade lower.
lInch as we regret TO learn of this,
yet il Is DOT Inconsistent with the gen
eral idea of progress, as has been re-
peatedly shown, as far as such prog
