for violets. Carnations have not been extra
thrifty the past year for some unknown

would it not be good idea to form league
Of clubs in the vicinity of Dover, the play
ers thereof being required to reside in or
near the towns of whose club they are
members2 This latter proviso wouli, it is
believed, prevent the hiring of semi-profes-
sional players, and create and maintain an
interest which would attract large crowds
to all games. Again, it might be made as
requisite that players shall have been
residents of these towns for period, say,
of six month, which would prevent any
violation of such rule. A nice circuit of
clubs could be formed from among the ball
players of Dover, Smyrna, Clayton, Town
send, Middletown, Harrington. Milford and

cient talent could be found in these towns
to put up good article of ball. .-Dover

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

To have been sent as delegates to tn
Seventh Annual Convention of the Della
ware State Sunday School Association wa
considered great honor and high privileg
by those who represented the Methods
Episcopal Sabbath School in this place
The Convention was held in West Presby
terian Church, Wilmington, DEL, las
Thursday and Friday. Many were in at
tendance from the various schools through
out the State and it was emphatically one
of, if not the most enthusiastic meeting
yet held in this important interest. Rev
Mr.. Keigwin. pastor Of the Church, gave
| hearty greeting, and Mr.. Joseph Pyle, Presi'
dent of the Association, responded in
words of tender appreciation. Prof
Sweeney led the song services and, with
the same old-time fervor and sweetness OF
expression, inspired all present to sing
praises.
There were many interesting papers on
the various lines of work, prepared and
delivered by the most earnest and ablest
teachers and workers; that Of Rev. ]. D. c.
Hanna on "The Supreme Need of the
Sunday SCHOOL," "How Can We Elevate
the Average Sunday School Teachers
Standard" by Isaac T. Johnson; "How to
Secure the Cooperation of Parents in
Sunday School Work." The latter by
Mrs. J. Frank Ball, was one Of the finest,
contained many good suggestions and was
highly commended. Mr.. B. F. Jacobs, of
Chicago, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the National Sabbath School
Association, made fine address Thursday
evening on "Better Things in Sunday
School Work" aud in all the sessions gave
many valuable hints on the work in general
and primary work in particulars. Mrs.

d., of Rev. N. H. Miller, D. D were able
and full of information and encouragement.
A paper prepared and eloquently deliv-
cred by Hugh C. Browne was one of the
most able as well as timely; we have always
heard Of the great responsibility of the
teacher but never much of the scholar.
His theme was 1.-THE Opportunity and Re-
sponsibilities of the Sunday School
Scholar" He paid most beautiful tribute
to the Bible, calling it the Golden mile
stone of the age, furnishing the best litera-
ture, the most faultless morality, ETC." say
ing what great results would accrue if
pupils would only embrace the opportuni-
ties of this purple age?" He sold, "the
means of disseminating the truth vera
never greater, what the Public Schools are
to secular the Sabbath School is to religious
and spiritual matters. The fraterral spirit
of these gatherings is noteworthy, to see
ministers, teachers and workers all in such
harmony was most gratifying. The cordial
welcome and generous hospitality upon the
part Of Wilmington hosts and hostesses
was marked and we who were so fortunate
as 10 be guests were not only delightfully."-
entertained but returned TO work with
more activity and better qualified for hav-

How a Colored Family Rode on the

The other day a crowd of men were tell
ing stories of perilous rides and jumps and

man who rides on railroads considerably
said:
well, the most perilous tide l ever
heard of occurred on the Delaware railroad
short time ago. / was at Dover to 60
away on the Norfolk express, south, COM
monty called the night line.' When the
train pulled into the station 1 saw some
people fall of the steps of one of the Sleep
ing cars attached 10 the train and on inves-
tigation found it was colored man, his
wife and child. They had gotten on at
Clayton. They mounted the sleeping car
portion of the train and the conductor did
not see them ON account of the darkness.
When the family got on the steps ofthe
car they found the vestibule door of the
car locked. The train pulled out so rap
idly that they could not jump off and they
sat down upon the steps and rode in that
way"
How they ever managed to stay on the
steps while the train went around the
curves at Brenford do not know, but they
staid there until they got to Dover, and
when the train stopped they fell off. They
were not hurt, but they were badly frigh-
tened."

Suggestion to Farmers.

A Hartford county farmer has struck on
the following plan for getting field set in
grass, especially one from which the crop
has been removed too late in the fall to seed
it in wheat. In the spring he plows the
field and sows it in oats, clover and timothy
If the land requires it, he uses little good
fertilizer When the oats is about a foot
high he pastures it with cattle, which eat
off the oats, and by that time the grass seed
has taken and the plants need sunlight and
air. By this method he has good pasture
until the middle of September, keeping
cattle off during the month of August,
He then has perfect set of grass. resem-
bling an old sod, and the field can be
moved the following year. Some of his
tomato and corn fields treated in this way
have, the second year, produced 81 tons of
hay to the acre.
