Addicks, because he organized the
Chicago Gas Trust, is q bsrnRcle to be
shaken of. He will hurt the party q
great deal more than he can possibly

1T would be tremendous coming down
to replace Senator Higgins with AddiCks.
The only known grounds on which the
latter's claim is being pressed are his
vast wealth and phenomer al cheek II
is not known that he has rendered any
public service, except in the left-handed

Bishop oolemsn's Concluding Lecture
Before the Church Club-The Mission
Of the Episcopal Church to the Age.
Last evening the concluding lecture of
the Church Club course was delivered
at st. Andrews Church by Bishop
Coleman. The bishops subject was
"The Church OF the Age In the
course Of his polished address, the
bishop said:
The church is not to be unmindful Of
the spirit of the age, nor of
the changing circumstances Iodeed It
Is her duty to note them all, and care
fully, that by some means she may i'm
press herself on the age, rather than
receive impressions from It. The ch urch
should be ever on the alert to remedy
real wrongs, fill real wants, and to
alleviate real woes. We sometimes hear
that the age is waiting for the coming
church. But the church has already
come. What the age really n eeds IS the
going church The church goes until
she finds the souls that are erring and
lost
After alluding to other points, he spoke
of the mission OF he Episcopal Church
to the age. and sal Id that he believed
that in no previous portion Of her
history had men loo ked as eagerly to her
for guidance in the great concerns of
life. In no former period of her history
was she ever more quick in responding
to such appeals The most striking
Of the bishops statements was probably
that showing the relative increase Of the
church mem bsrship to the population D.
In fifty years the population has
increased $50 per cent, and the
commun icsnts OF the church have
increase 800 per cent.

Friend Are Cunning for Ducks in tho
wild Celery Trenches of Maryland.
Levy Court Commissioner John J.
Mealey and his friend James Brlckley
went TO Maryland yesterday afternoon for
two days duck shooting They will be
the guests of Cecil Kirk, near Perryyille,
on the banks Of the Susquehanna.
They will gun on Furnace and Mil
creeks, the two streams forming q
junction at the Susquehsnna and giving
them the benefit Of three contiguous
bodies OF water, the ducks flying from
one to another, and finding 8 hot reeep-
tion on all three Sink.boats and screens
will be used principally, but Mr Megley,
who is en- ardent sportsman. hopes to
have some good point shooting.
This is his second trip this season.
Several days ago he was down the bay
near Ship John Light His companion
was a rural friend whose stock of ERE
arms consisted Of an old army musket.
The shot and powder pouches had no
gauges and the rural friend loaded by
guess pouring the explosive and proisc
tiles into the palm of his hand and
thence into the muzzle of the gun.
From all accounts he must have rammed
the wRds down on the shot as hard as he
did on the powder Anyway, black
duck took fight near the boat
and Mr.. MealeY, whs was ignorant Of
the process Of loading, picked up the
musket, stood up, took aim, fred and
sat down. 1t was not natural sit down
but, to all practical intents and purposes
it was fully ss effective and eminently
more forcible. The duck is still living
on a wild celery diet

INCURsBLE INSANE PATIENTS.

superintendent Hancker Reports That
Fully rs Per Cent. of His Inmates Are
In That Condition Because They Were
Kept at Home Too Long.
In his biennial report before the Board
OF Trustees Of the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst, DR.. w. H
Hancker, superintendent Of this excsllent
state institution, urges upon the trustees
the necessity Of an enlargement OF the
buildings, not only to increase its useful
ness IN the treatment and care OF the
patients who may be committed to Its
care, but also as necessary for the safety
Of those already under treatment. In
speaking OF the patients Of the hospital
no says:
After careful study Of 1856 patients
during the past biennial period Ii is safe
to Ray that 75 per. cent are absolutely
hopeless so far rs ultimate recovery Is
concerned. This means that the State
OF Delaware viii be compelled to shoulder
the burden OF support Of this number Of
nnfortunates for the rest Of their lives
"One cause tending TO the chronclty
of the insane is the desire OF relatives
and friends to retain them Rt home until
the last spark OF reason Is dethroned =
The doctor fnds the cause Of this Ia the
prevalent ignorance about hospitals for
the insane and the treatment Of the
patients there he thinks this would be
overcome II the people Of the state would
visit the hospitals and inform themselves
Of the conditions and treatment
The report created such favorable
impression upon the trustees at their
session yesterday that 900 copies OF IL
were ordered printed The John NJ
Rogers Company, Of Wilmington, re-.
eeived the contract to do this work for
$98 3s.
During yesterdays session, the re-
port OF the Board of Trustees to be sub
nitted to the governor Of tho state was
read BY DR.. Blsck, president OF the
board This report included a sketch
Of the hospital work since It became a
state institution and congratulated the
people OF Delaware on the success Of the
hospital; on the improved condition OF
the insane wards OF the state since Il
Was tablished. and an earnest plea that
the state maintain it's leading position
among the states Of the Union IN it's care
Of the indlgent insane 1.-THE report

One plan suggested In the report for
