girl from the latter place was asked
by the teacher to spell a word. The

"Next" was a New England boy,
who spelled it readily.
After the spelling exercises the
teacher dictated as follows for the
children to write upon their states:
"A little fawthaw off was a small

Ezekiel xiii, Is.
Armed with this text Justice ]. Catlin

Methodist Episcopal church in Marion
by warming them that this applied to the
prevailing fashion of big sleeves.
"What are the enormous puffs women
wear but pillows, and what can more
efHcaciousy arouse righteous wrath than
the abnormal and extreme fashions of
today?"
Mr.. Catlin went on to say that upon
enterin- car not long ago he was
shocked to see what large sleeves the
women wore, thereby taking up space
that belonged to other passengers, and
then he quoted the Bible verse, much to
the dismay of the women present., who
had smild incredulity when he announced
that he had scriptural authority for his
condemnation of the fashion.

street car had read their Bibles" he con-
Guided. "they would not be seen in public

The women members had lively dis

place. But two of the elders, remember

it is rare to find a man who has halr

MONGREL RACE IN DELAWARE
African and Indian Blood Mingled in
- Gan, M

African and Indian Blood Mingled in q
Thrifty Community.
There has been much speculation about
the so-called Moors living in Kent and
Sussex counties, Delaware. These peo-
pie are usually swarthy, black-haired and
black-eyed, though some times of a fair
complexion. They are mostly farmers.
They have their own schools distinct
from the general public school system,
and they associate neither with whites
nor with blacks. One theory has been
that they are of the Moorish race and
that their ancestors were Spanish Moors
wrecked on the coast more than a centu-
ry ago. Another tradition represents
them as descendants of the Nanticoke
Indians.
George p. Fisher, a lawyer long prac-
ticing in Delaware, writes to present what
he regards as satisfactory evidence as to
the origin of these people. He has been
acquainted with these people all his life.
Noke Norwood, a giant of the tribe,
erect and black-haired at Is, he knew
from childhood. When Mr.. Fisher be-
came attorney general of the State
he was called upon prosecute Levin Sock
UNI, one of the race, for selling ammuni-
ton to Isaiah Harmon of the same race,
the indictment having been found under
statute of Delaware making 1t mis-
demeanor to sell arms and ammunition
to any negro or mulattO. Harmon was
a man of 20 years, with excellent Cauca-
sian features, dark chestnut hair, rosy
cheeks and hazel eyes. Mr.. Fisher
thought him the handsomest man in the
courtroom, Nevertheless, Lydia Clark,
n kinswoman of Harmon, testified for the
State that according to a family tradi'
tioa, some years before the revolutionary
war broke out, when she was little girl,
their ancestors, woman of Irish birth,
owning and cutivating n farm in the In
dian River Hundred, Sussex county,. o
few miles from Lewes, bought of SLAYER
that was driven into DeweS creek a negro
slave who professed to be chief OF one
of the Congo tribes. The woman, whose
name was egua, shortly after married her
slave, and their children, not being allow
ed to associate with the whites, intermar-
ried with the remnant of the Nanticoke
Indians, then still living in Sussex coun-
ty. The witness, q very Old woman,
looked like an Indian of pure blood.
These people for several generations
were confined principally to the southeast
ern part of Sussex county, but have since
gone into Kent county, and even north
ward into Newcastle county. They have
always refused to associate with the col
ored people. Although chiefly engaged In
farming, they have managed to pick up
sufficien mechanical skill to build their
own houses. Mr.. Fisher says that they
are thrifty. Industrious, frugal and law
abiding. He has known of but two in
stances where one of the race was brought
into court for violation of law. One
case was that of Sockum, and the other
of man charged with attempted murder,

ton, and is a distant relative of the late
secretary of state. He was at the Gilsey
house yesterday and said, in the course
of conversation upon the silver ques-
ton: -
Despite the fact that about every rep
resentatiye of Texas in congress believes
i'm free silver, do mot think THAT THE pre-
pondefance of sentiment among the people
is in favor of the white metal. Mr. Chill
ton, the new senator, is a silverite, and
so are many other prominent politicians,
but l do not take it that they represent
the people,"
To demonstrate his theory, Mr.. Gresham
referred to the following facts:
Last year the State convention de-
clared in favor of sound money, although
it nominated pronounced free silver man
for governor. The free silver Democrats
held convention at Fort Worth some
time ago, but it was not as satisfactory as
they wished, and it did not look then
as if they were in trim to carry everything
before them"
Mr. Gresham does not think that Pres
ident Cleveland wants a third term, or
could get it if he did want it. He said
that it must be peculiar conditions that
would cause him to vote for Mr.. Cleveland
for third term, although he admired
him greatly. Speaking of presidential
timber, he said:
II think some Western man ought to
be nominated by the Democrats. Colonel
Morrison is strong candidate, and /
would cheerfully vote for him. Still,
