An nnern Honsc Dnnce.

On the evening of Decoration Day,
with the the thermometer registering
in the nineties, the young men OF the
town gave pleasant informal dance.
1t was arranged in a considerable hurry
and passed away, Notwithstanding the
torrid, sweltering weather, with ex-
pressions of most delightful time.
Probably this was all the more enjoyed
because it was the first dance given
since Christmas and those who are fond
of this terpsichOreau art were willing
to sacrifice themselves to any condition
of temperature for an evening OF such
pleasure.
One pleasing feature about the dance
was its informality, thus releasing all
from the laws of social dress etiquette
and allowing everybody to attend in
| the coolest costume that would be be-
coming and comfortable on such night
Another pleasing feature was the alb
| senCe of a large attendance. There
were only three sets and when all were
on the floor it gave ample room for the
INTERVENING, may waltz. Music was
furnished by Profs. Stevenson, Norris
and Rose of the Smyrna Orchestra, anC
the dance was continued until a late
hour.
Those present were: Miss Clair T

Sunday at the Churches.

Sunday was "a bright, beautiful day
but not very conducive to church going,
with the mercury climbing up in the
nineties. AT the Presbyterian church,
however, there was the usual congre.
cation to hear Rev. Joseph b. Turner
of Dover, who declared the pulpit
vacant, as per directions of the Presby
terry, and will be filed by supplies
until a regular pastor is settled, Reg
Mr.. Ely having charge of the pulpi5
next Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Turner dis

church would do bis or her best to pre-

Earlier Night Closing.

The summer Saturday night crowd
was on in undimlnished numbers Sat
urday night, as intensely hot as it was.
The worst feature is, they come largely
to stay until Sunday, aud if the mer.
chants would keep open until one or
two o'clock Sunday morning a number
of them would still be on hand to do
their dealing the last thing before 60
ing home. Seeing this is so. the won
der is that the merchants will let them
selves and clerks sweiter for hours TO
accommodate those who are making q
frolic of Saturday night and spend
Sunday like a pen of stye hogs, in
sleep.
By the present method, Saturday tC
a large part of our populations means
about eighteen hours of business out o

SENATOR SHERMAN, at GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and ex-senator Edmunds, of
Vermont, in Philadelphia, both rec
ognized great leaders in national fl
nance, gave expression to their views
on the silver question last week. The
Baltimore Sun thus refers to them:
"There is no essential difference be-
tween the Republicanism Of Mr.. Sher-
man and Mr.. Edmunds, and that of
Mckinley, Reed, Harrison or Allison,

other gentlemen Just named do. There
is no important difference except that
between President Cleveland and any
responsible Democratic leader capable
of leading his party to national victory
next year. He is not seeking or desir-

some of the Democratic states, who
are playing with dOuble-edged phrases
or "laying low''in a silence which they
mistakenly believe to be judiciOus, are

THE Democrats carried the election
in Wilmington Saturday by about 200
majority, electing DR.. c. r. Jeffries,
Mayor; Jesse X. Baylis, President Of
Council; Fuekel, City Treasurer, and
Harman, City Solicitor. The Repub-
licans carried the last city election by
500 to 600. Chairman Bach, says "the
Republican defeat was caused by in
difference: they were disgusted, and
thought it was not worth while to vote
in Delaware" The Sunday Star says
of the election:
"The Democratic leaders of some
years ago were taught lesson oi
similar import at that time, and II the
Republican managers had been wise
enough to profit by the Democratic ex
perience of 1888, they would probably
have escaped the stinging rebuke ad
ministered to them yesterday, which
was expressed quite as plainly in th'
meagre vote polled as in the actual re
suit arrived at. Though our Demo
cratic friends will profit by the Repuo

honorary member The opening prayer
from a member of the congregatiOn),
was an earnest appeal for individual
responsibility, the Divine blessing on
the society which had the services in
charge, and for the early restoration of
the "beloved pastor" (now absent) to
his wanted health and strength and
supervising care Of the church. The
rising in the congregation of members
to respond, while always of interest to
an audience, cannot but be Of immense
benefit in giving strength and confidence
to those who thus take part in public
worship.
At St. Peters it was Communion
day-the first since the conservation by
the Bishop OF the sixteen new mem
bers. who with one or two exceptions
were all there, and Rector Dame was
gratifed to find larger number of the
older members in attendance on this

THE Democrats of Bell County, Ky,
seem now to be dwelling in vein of
humOr rather then vein of silver. In
the County Convention they resolved
that the Federal Government be com
PEELED to open a silver mine in every
county in the State of Kentucky not
more than two miles from the county
seat and handy to wood and water"
and that "said mine shall be free for
the unlimited digging of every man
who can WELD a mattOck." If the Bell
County Democracy made any mistake
it was in not asking also for a gold
mine in every mans backyard. 1t will
be interesting to see Senator Blackburn
and others climbing on this platform.

ONE of the new things in the political
line is the formation of a National
Municipal League. The meeting was
held last week in Cleveland, Ohio, and
very material progress is assured on
the line of city reform. The tenor of
all the remarks was that before very
material progress had been made along
the lines of municipal reform, there
must be an absolute enforcement OF
national and State from municipal
