The services of the Epworth League at
the church Sunday evening were led by
1 John H. Griffith, the topic being "The
Need of Salvation" After reading the ref
erences, and singing by the school, the leader
gave a very interesting talk in regard to
1 the Salvation Army and the good work
that it is doing in parts of the world, and
especially in the United States Having
travelled very much, he told the congrega
ton what the Salvation Army was doing
in the CRY of San Francisco, as he visited
one of their meetings IN that city in the fall
of 1891. He stated that they were doing
more good there than all the churches com
bined; or that is what the ministers say in
San Francisco The leader told what
countries the Army were operating in and
in how many languages; also statistical
information in general concerning the Sal
walton Army In conclusion the leader il
Illustrated the effect the christian faith was
doing for the nations of the world, ,and how
the Roman people tried in vain to stamp it
out. but that the christian faith has tri-
umphed over Casarian Rome; nation has
rose against nation and kingdom against
kingdom, but the christian faith is march
ing steadily on; and he asked where are
the Roman people to day? In speaking Of
the Roman people, he stated that they had
on the field of battle at one time 10000
men, and that Cesar after having con
ouered many countries returned to Rome
with 100000 men. He spoke of the war
now progressing between China and Japan
and the great comparison between the two
countries with China with its 400, ,ooo, 600
of people that were being conquered by lit
tie Japan with a population Of less than
10000, 900. He stated that the Japanese
were more civilized and that the christian
faith was progressing rapidly in Japan,
thus making them a more enlightened race
than the Chinese, and that is why the Jap
anese are successful in their campaign
AGAINST China, for God will help all nations
that promote His faith and live for His
cause The congregation listened to the
discourse with mare ed interest and were
much interested Quite number of CUES
tions from the Bible were sent in to be given
out by the leader to persons desiring themi

select any question that they wished

Our town was visited by burglars last
Saturday night. They entered the cream
erv of Mr.. Joseph Clark by breaking the
lock on the door. Forty-one pounds Of
butter and several small articles were stolen.
The cannery of Reynolds & Co was also
visited All the ooppers and burners used
in the factory were stolen, together with a
large quantity of solder The loss willnot
fall short of a hundred dollars 1t is sup
posed that the thieves came up the Muir
derkil river, as several of Reynolds & Cos
buckets, which they used in carrying away
the solder, were found floating in the river
and bay. About six months ago some one
broke into the cannery of ReilS & Co. and
stole about three hundred dollars worth of
solder Reynolds & Co had not received
their supply of solder for this season, but
expect it in few days. Had the thieves
been week later they would have found
several hundreds of dollars worth of sol
der, as it was they found only about one
hundred. dollars worth, which they carried
away with them. The thieves seemed to
know the Interior arrangement of the fac
tory, as they entered the cellar without
breaking any locks or drawing a nail and
proceeded to go over the building and take
what they wanted. During the heighth Of
the packing season many tramps are EN-
ployed in all the packing establishments Of
this section and the thieves are supposed to
be of this class Should the offenders be
caught they should receive the punishment
they Justly deserve, and no doubt will, as
our people are not in a humor to show any
cIemency to the guilty parties.

Of all the questions for legislation that
will have come before the General Assem-
bly,, none will exceed in importance the bill
entitled: can Act to regulate and restrain
the sale of Intoxicating liquors in the State
of Delaware " A perJsal of the bill viii
cause it to commend itself to the reader as
being decidedly fitting to the existing con-
ditons of the present
From among the provisions of the bill
we present some Of the leading features
''No person is entitled to Iase out a license
for tine sale OF Intoxicating liquor who has
been convicted Of any crime or misde
meanor The name of the owner of the
premises must accompany the application
for license" "The certificate now re-
quired BY the liquor license laws Of this
State shall be signed BY at least a majority
Of the poll and property taxpayers in the
election or school district where the pro.
posed inn or tavern is situated " Also THE
saloon keeper is prohibited from selling or
giving away intoxicants between the hours
of II o'elock p. m and a. m. of the fol-
lowing day,o if the following day be Sun
day, he must notdo business until the Mon
day morning following
Petitions have already been put in eircu-
lation throughout the State in behalf of this
act, and it is natural to expect that all who
feel an interest in the public good will
gladly avail themselves of the opportunity
to sign the petition Let the public speak
with no uncertain sound that our Legisla
ture may feel that there is a crying demand
for speedy passage of the bill

time for the women of the State to take pos

utterly childish and unmanly surely never
was seen ner heard before. Any person
out Of the charmed circle at Dover would
be apt to regard the following article of as
much Importance as, perhaps, divorce
