ST. Jos EPH's CHURCH.
Dedication of the Remodeied Edifice at
Brnndywine Banks.

For the past two months workmen
have been busy making improvements
to this venerable church. The result is
that on next Sunday, the parishioners
will worship in practically new church.
Pastor and people may well be proud OF
their new church. .=.
A new roof has been put on, new
sacristy added to the church, a beautiful
ceiling of Florida pine, handsome pews
and three superb marble affairs crown
all. The church has been painted inside
and out. Over one of the side affairs is
beautiful stained glass window, the
gift of Mother Agnes of the Francesca
Order, and over the other side altar is
another beautiful window, q memorial
offering from Miss Mamie Dugan.
1t is proposed to have all beautiful
stained glass windows for the consecra-
ton of the church, next October. These
windows, together with handsome SET
of stations, will come from Munich.
The Rev. J. D. Carey has reason to be
proud of the improvements, so far made
in which he has had the most generous
cooperation of his people. st. Joscph's
now is one of the prettiest churches in
the diocese. Mr.. McElwee is to-day put.
ting down the carpet in the sanctuary
This is said to be the finest carpet ever
laid in sanctuary in this State.
The dedicatory services will begin al
1890 a. IN. and will be conducted by the
Rt. Rev. A. A. Curtis, d. D., who will
also participate. The mass will be rem.
dered by choir of 40 singers, selected
from tho choirs of the diocese, with E
j. Curran welding the baton. The Rev
ID. ]. Flynn of st. Mary's has beer
selected to preach the dedication sermon
All the indications are that an immense
congregation will be present. In add.
ton to those who will go from Viii
mington, Chester and Ashland there
will be large delegation from Elkton
Father Carey's last charge, where he j!
remembered for giving them their pres
ent remodeled, enlarged and beautiful

The Deeper Thought That Underlies this

The Deeper Thought That Underlies the
Surface Reason.
as quoted in your editorial item OF Fri
Edit0? Gazette and Journal: The
tendency of the German mind toward
suicide perhaps needs more radical
explanation than that suggested by the
Freie ErCSSe. Martin Luther anticipated
for his "beloved countrymen" as he III
ways regarded the German people-a
physical and mental prostitution so far US
they allowed and encouraged certain per-
verted physical indulgences to which he
referred. Whatever may be due to
this agency, of which let others judge
as they will, it is sad to find an admis-
sion of what may lie termed n limited
conscientiousness" among the masses
Of the German people, that, surely, is a
limited "conscientiousness" which be-
comes so morbidly sensitive with re-
spoct only to such "wrongs and mis-
fortunes"
As appertain to commercial and social
relations among men in the ordinary
occurrences of life the evident inference
here would be that less conscientious
ness" less stability of character" and
less "training," would be advantageous
in removing the supposed morbid 'con-
scientiousness." Who will deliberately
accept such an unfortunate suggestion9
And why should it be any more COR
rect TO say that "the German feels a
wrong or misfortune much more deeply
than his fellow-lnen," unless it be that
the reverse of the preceding explanation
is true, namely, that he has less
character, consciontiousness and train
ing than aM needed for the ordinary
experience of life ~
Wrong and misfortune are very COM
mon among all men. Why should
Germans meet them more sensitiveiy
and less bravely with conscientiousnoss
character and training-which are strong
supports of courage and skill-con-
fessedly large? And why should con-
meritOrious force just when having
failed, with true bravery, to deal with
wrong and misfortune among men, they
choose to shift tho scene of operations
from time and men, to the more
tremendous arena of eternity and deal
less with men and come face to face
with their creator? 1t must be n
limited "conscientiousness," that leads
any man to rashly ruin the
great gift of God, his life,
and rush uncalled to premature inter
| view with his Creator, in circumstances
quite above his full comprehension. II
conscentiousness does ignore the rela.
ton of all men to God, it is doubtless be
cause it is limited or trained improperly
and as to all nations and races of men
it is indisputably true that no wrong oil
misfortune in human affairs will be met
with the highest and best wisdom and
courage, whatever be the skill, unles:
there be careful, thorough, conscien
tious study of what belongs to God. To
be faithfully pluin-only when mcr
rightly regard themselves as stewards
simply of all earthly possessions will
limited tenure, and nothing more, witt
an unavoidable reckoning with Tho
Giver of all to be had at the end--wll
they either wisely or bravely NEE
wrong and misfortune here, or happily
meet the issues that await them here
after. 6.

One Was Corralled in a Kitchen and
Another Was Shot in a Chase Along
Thirteenth and West Streets.
Two mad dogs were killed in the
neighborhood of Thirteenth and West
streets, Sunday. Both, it is believed,
are country dogs. Neither had collars
Or tags on them.
The first mad dog came running
along from the east side, the people in
chase of him claiming he had frightened
the residents of house at Thirteenth
and French streets from the lower floor.
The dog was shot and killed by col.
ored man as it reached West street.
This was about noon. AT 1 o'clock
there was another alarm of mad dog at
Thirteenth and West streets. The citi-
zens turned out again with pistols and
clubs. Mad dog No. 2 was chased into
a house at Fourteenth and West streets.
He ran into the kitchen. The residents
ran up stairs rs fast as they could.
Some one closed the door and then the
hunters commenced pepperlng the rabid
animal from the back windows. The
dog escaped, however, and the chase
began again. Howard Springer, stone
cutter, knocked the dog over with u
club, but he jumped to his feet again
and was off, back in the direction of
Market street. John B. Mon Gar, the
painter, got bead on him with his
pistol and with the report the brute fell
in his tracks, dead. Both dogs were
buried in an adjacent vacant lot.

bad OUTLOOK FOR PEACHES
What the Reports of the De-
partment Show.
SEASON HAS BEEN DISASTROUS
Delaware's Condition Drops
From 90 to IS.
The Extremely Low Figures in All Dis
tricts Indicate n Practical Failure of
the Crop-Apples Are in Somewhat
Better shape Than Peaches.

WAsHfNGToN, June 17.-The report
of the statistician of the Department of
Agriculture for June says that glance
at the percentages of condition Of
peaches on June LIST is sufficient to
show how disastrous the season has
been thus far The returns ut this date
relate principally to bloom in the more
northern districts, and were conditions
high it would yet be too early to form
an opinion as to crop results.
AS fruit does not recover from low
condition early in its history, as other
products often do, it is safe to construe
the extremely low figures into a prac-
teal failure Of the crop. The condition
for 1894 in the States producing the
commercial crop, as compared with
1893, makes a poor showing for this
year, as follows: New Jersey, 1898, 104;
1894, s.. Delaware, 1893, 90; 1894, TO-
Maryland, 1893, 90; 1894, 81. Virginia,
1893, CD; 1894, Is. Georgia, 1893, S2;
1894, Z. Ohio, 1893, "a; 1894, 43. Micli-
gan, 1893, SO; 1904, 20. California, 1893,
SO; 1894, IS. The best prospects east Of
the Rocky mountains are in New Jersey
and Michigan.
The condition of apples is somewhat
better than that of peaches. In sections
of New England where the season is
far enough advanced for the fact to be
determined prospects are unusually
promising. In New York trees have
bloomed full, but the counties report
damage from frost and cold rains. A
sudden decline in the conditions begins
with New Jer.ey aud Pennsylvania, due
to the causes just stated, and the in.
creased damage from the freezing
weather Of March further south is clearly
indicated.
The statistician has, at the request Of
many growers and dealers, added rice
to the list of products mentioned in the
monthly crop reports. The present re.
port shows that the breadth seeded in
1894 is but 7G.4 per cent of last years
acreage. The greatest reduction took
place in Louisiana, where go per cent Of
last years area was sown. South Caro-
lima, next in Importance in production
shows decrease in acreage of II pei
cent; then follows Georgia, with q de
crease of 90 per cent. The principa
cause assigned for the decrease il
acreage of the product is the ruling low

SUGAR'S RIDE.
Wall street at noon of day,

Up from Wall street at noon of day,
Bringing to Washington fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with q shndder bore,
Like herald in haste to the Senators door,
The terrible grumble and rumble and roar,
Telling the tariff was on once more,
A tariff very much alive,
And sugar quoted at %.
And still those wild quotations of stock
Thundered along with dreadful shock,
And louder yet into Washington rolled
The roar of the market uncontrolled,
Making the blood of a Senator cold
As he thought of his stake in that Wall
street mix,
And sugar quoted at 06.
But there is a road in Washington town,
A good broad highway leading down;
And there through the flush of the morn
ing light
A bill, as black rs the steeds of night,
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight
As if it knew the terrible need,
1t stretched away with its utmost speed;
And never once did it halt or wait,
And sugar quoted at 9S.
Under its spurning feet the road
lake an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And Congress was left away behind
Like an ocean flying before the wind:
And the bill, like bark fed with furnace
ire,
Swept on, with a spirit that did not tire.
But 10 it is nearing its hearts desire
1t is shutting the smoke of the roaring gun,
And the sugar quotations. 10l.
The first that the tariff saw were the
groups
Of stragglers, and then the retreating
troops;
What was done-what to do-a glance told
il ali:
Then striking the straddle, the put, and
1t dashed down the line mid tempest of
laws,
And the wave of retreat checked its course
there because
The weight of the sugar compelled it to
With combine and trust the tariff was
gray;
BY The change of a clause and high
dutys play,
1t seemed to the whole great nation to say:
~ have brought these Senators all the
way
From Sugarville down to save the day."
Hurrah for Senators with will!
Hurrah, hurrah for bill and Bill
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome of the Capitol sky,
The American statesmen's Temple of
Fame,
There with the glorious Wall street game
BE It said in letters both bold aud gay
Here is the schedule that saved the day
BY carrying Senators into the fight
When sugar was down clean out of sight"

One of Their Number is Charged With
Assault and I3attery-Atteinpt to Bring
Him to Jail.
The unusual spectacle of three intoxi-
Gated Italians having under arrest q
llow-eountryman and attempting to
bring him to the city hall was witnessed
by Officers Todd and Brinkheid at
Eighteenth and Market streets, Sun
day. The Italians live near Carrcroft
station where they are employed in q
stone quarry. During fight Sunday
instigated by ebullitions of temper and
bad whisky, John Scognamillo was
badly beaten by Peter DiISenzo with a
club.
Then it was that the victim of the
assault, together with Gennare Luciano
and Nincenzo Pagnini, who claims to be
distant relative of the famous Italian
violinist of that name, took it into their
heads to arrest DiRenzo. They brought
the prisoner to Shellpot Park, where
they boarded an electric car for tine city.
When the conductor asked them for fare
the captors of the crestfallen DiRenzo as
sured the railway man that they were
self.appointed officers of the law and
that he had no right to modest them
about so trivial matter as car fare. The
conductor was of the opposite belief,
however, and he succeeded in getting
them off the car.
At Eighteenth and Market streets the
attention Of Officers Todd and Briukheid
was called to the Italians and their cap
tive who were acting disorderly and
creating disturbance by attempting to
get their prisoner to the hall. The Off
GERS here took hand and the quartet
were escorted to the police station
where they spent the night.
On Monday, in municipal court, all
the Italians, including the victim, were
fined So for drunkenness and creating a

Maynard Morris Cook Gets His Brother

Leaves Him In the Lurcb.

Maynard Morris Cook Gets His Brother
to Pawn Stolen Property and Then
Leaves Him In the Lurcb.
The arrest Of Otis Cook, aged 16 years,
living at No. GS1 North Broad street,
Philadelphia, while IN the act of pawn
ing raZors and knives stolen from the
Delaware Hardware Co. of this city,
Monday night, reveals, according to the
statements of Samuel Cook, the father,
the waywardness of Morris Cook, an
older brother, and the trouble the
parent has had as q result of his incor-
rigibility. Mr.. Cook asserts that the boy
who is under arrest in Philadelphia is
innocent of the charge of stealing the
cutlery.
Mr.. Cook, who was for IA years a resi-
dent Of Wilmington, moved to Philadel-
phia last August. He has four sons of
whom Otis is the youngest. He says that
the boy has been special charge to him,
and that about seven years ago he was
knocked down by an electric wire and
had his jaw broken in three places. His
father says he has never been the same
boy since. Morris has been the black
sheep of the family, having served a
term in New Castle Jail for larceny
when lie was mere BOY.
Monday night week Delaware Hard
ware Co. was robbed of four dozen
raZors, two dozen pen-knlyes, and one
| Smith &c Wesson revolver, valued alto
gether at $50. The matter was re-
ported TO Chief Dolan and he sent a list
of the stolen articles to Captain Miller
of Philadelphia. The latter furnished
all the pawnshops with list.
Friday afternoon Morris Cook asked
his younger brother to go out for n
walk. They went to q pawnshop al
Sixth and Vine streets, where Morris
handed OTIS three raZors and three
white-handled pen-knives and told
him to go in and pawn them. Morris
waited on the outside. AS soon as
the pawnbroker saw the cutlery he
recognized it as the stolen properly de.
scribed on the circular sent out by Cap.
tain Miller.
An officer was called in and arrested
OTIS. AS soon as Morris saw the officer
enter the pawnshop he jumped Ridge
avenue car and fed. Since that time
the police have failed to come up Will
him. The father is firmly convinced o.
the innocence of Otis. "He has nevel
been out of this house night since I've
lived here" said Mr.. Cook, land coult
not have stolen the things. Morris, how
ever, has always been a hayward boy
| have told him never to come near my
house several times, and when he doe
| order him away. There never wa
any such disgrace in the family unit
Morris got in trouble. He has been ar
rested three times before, and if knew
where to lay my hands on him I'd b
glad to have him locked up where h
could be kept out of more trouble. He
q deserter from tho navy, too.
Saturday Otis Cook was given hear
ing before Magistrate Milligan and OF
the testimony of Chief Dolan was hcl,
in $500 bail for further hearing mex
Friday. Meantime efforts will be mad
to arrest Morris.
