JOHN H. KNIGHT died in Thorough
fare Neck on Sunday last in the 5Sth
year of his age, after long afliction.
His case has been one that has excited
great deal of interest in the Neck,
He Joined one of the Delaware repi.
ments and served over three years, or
until the close of the war. A short
time ago he was awarded a pension OF
$500 per month under the Dependent
pension bill. Last May he was taken
down sick with consumption and grew
worse until he died. He was one of
those unfortunate ones who lost his
pension through the rulings of Secre-
tary Hoke Smith in June, and with if
went his means of living, except as
supplied by friends Some two months
ago be was notified that his claim was
restored, but no money ever reached
him.

CONGRESS commenced it's regular
session on Monday. The principal
thing was the reception of the Presi.
dents message, which was sent in
shortly after it commenced. 1t has
been variOusly received, but with the
general expression that it has not the
snap and force of his former docu-
ments in outlining a policy. The
Philadelphia Record, one of the lead
ing Democratic papers, thus speaks OF
it:
The message of the President to
Congress is disappointing. It is bud.
get of interesting recapitulations OF
matters mainly within the public
knowledge; but it is exceedingly bar.
rem OF original recommendations The
President satisfies himself with state.
ments of fact, leaving the initiative of
legislation to Congress. For the rea.
sons in support of such recommends A.
tlons as he does make the reader oftbe
message will have to consult the de-
partment reports.
Full faith is given to the Blount re-
port as establishing the forcible inter-
vention of the United States in over.
throwing the Hawaiian monarchy. The
obligation of the United States to undo
the wrong and restore as far as practi.
cable the status before existing ia dis.
tlnctly asserted. The instructione
gwen to Minister Willis are undis.
closed. 1t is reassuring to be informed
however, that they do not 60 beyond
the constitutional limits of executive
power. This will relieve apprehension
lest the Provisional Government at
Honolulu may have been toppled over
oy the direct push of United States
marines. 1t is altogether probable that
Congress will lift the blanket covering
the Administrations Hawaiian policy
which the President at present leaves
undisturbed, awaiting additional adj
vices for data for special message on
the subject.
"On the financial question no posi-
tive recommendation is made, EXCEPT
That the President be empowered to
otner nations to a conference on the
subject of coinage when he shall deem
the time ripe for it; and that the au.
thority of the Secretary of the Treas.
ury to issue bonds shall be made clear.
unhampered by present disadvantag,
eous regulations as to the rate of inter-
est and time of maturity.
AS to Tariff Reform, the President
contents himself with strong generali.
zations, descending no farther to par.
ticulars than the Endorsement of the
bill prepared by the Committee on
Ways and Means. He gives the hint
that in recasting internal revenue
taxes tax may be laid upon incomes
derived from certain corporate invest
ments."

Although light in weight, they tackled
hard and strong, sending in many in
stances the big, stalwart opponents to
the ground. While the "scrub" had
the weight the "lads" were full of
tricks and soon outgeneraled their op.
ponents by their scientific movements.
It is true many on the scrubs" never
had foot ball in their hands before
and hence their ignorance of the game
was easily displayed: their only hope,
outside of their desperate rush, was in
relying on the confidence of the referee.
The High school boys won the toss and
the scrub took the ball, the former
eleven choosing the east goal.
The scrub made their pretension of a
flying wedge"but gained little ground.
From then on the contest waxed warm
until George Richards made a touch
down amid the cheers of the High
school enthusiasts. Sam Hoffecker the
full back, kicked a goal, Score 6 to 0.
A few more moments work and the
first half was over.
The second half was begun with
more determination on the part of the
town scrub and the ball was kept fly
ing from one territory to the other.
Inc scrub began to gain near their Op-
ponents goal. Excitement was high.
Every player was doing his utmost to
guard his goal. But the herculean
strength of Jack Wick was too much for
the High school lads, for breaking
through their rush line he started oeiI
nell for their goal and made their onlv
touch down. Score to 4, ball was put
IN play but little progress was made be-
fore the umpire called the game.
Many OF the spectators who saw here
their first contest of the world renown
foot bal, were utterly disgusted with
Its SO called brutality many making the
assertion that they never wanted to see
another and went home with the
strong determination that their bow
should never enter such a contest.
Inc teams lined up as follows:

The Bazaar of the Kings Daughters
started out Monday night with most
promising results, the receipts being
$50. and would perhaps have been as
good last night but for the horrid
weather caused by the falling snow.
AS it was, the receipts for the two
nights amounted to S135, less ex-
penses. The suppers were excellent
and nicely served and many of the
fancy articles on sale were of exquisite
workmanship. The latter, not dis
posed of will be placed on exhibition
and sale in the palor of Mrs. John P.
Hudson from 2 to 4 o'clock of after
moons.

1T is a matter of regret that the
electric lights for the streets. so nearly
ready, were not ready for the Teachers
Institute, as will be the case a week or
80 later. The poles are all in position,
the wires strung, the lamps in place
the engine and dynamo on six feet of
solid masonry and only the minor
minuti@ of detail hinders the starting
of the subtle current. The twenty.one
arc and twenty-six incandescent lights.
ought to give our streets sufficient illu.
mination.

And there sit down and stuff.

A Social Peanut Hunt"

A very social pastime in connection
with this Thanksgiving event. was the
evening company given at the residence
OF Miss Mary Anthony last Friday
night. There being an influx of visi.
tors on this occasion, who alwavs oivs
greater mirth to such gatherings.
MADE 1t charming party as well as
highly enjoyable.
Inc hostess was not long in arrang-
ing Tor the pleasure her guests. as
as was shown by announcing that the
feature OF the evening would be ''pea
nut hunt" those finding the most and
and least respectively to be the winners
OF The different, suitable prizes. Hunt
was soon begun, and in little while
everything was topsy turvy through
out the two rooms at their disposal.
Every corner, crevice, and little nook
was pried into in hope that these peskv
little peanuts would win for them the
coveted prize. After most every shell
had beed found, for the merry confu
son OF the party contending over their
ma was about at its highest pitch,
Little Red Riding Hood" stood upon
chair, and in gracious manner,
began the arduOus task of receiving
and comparing numbers, but she soon
found herself in terrible predicament,
as was shown by her distracted coun.
tenance when trying to hear thirty or
more answers at once. The babble of
of confusion was soon lulled enough
for her to award the first prize to Miss
Bessie Walden, and the second to Miss
Margaret Vanneman for finding the
two highest numbers; but when the
applications for the least number were
IN order, there was the greatest hubbub
immaginable, until the "bUOby prize"
was awarded to Herbert Brown, who,
although he didn't respond by speech,
blew his little tin horn with the com
placency of "four year DID,"
