The bill before the Legislature
presented by the Law and Order
Society of Wilmington, provides
that license shall only be granted
to person to sell intoxicating liq-
uors in districts where a majority
of legal voters shall sign petition
for such privilege. This is right
"a majority should rule in this as
ON other questions. Prohibition
can only be enforced where public
sentiment is strong enough to exc
cute the law. Where majority
of the people are in favor of the
liquor traffic it is next to impossi
BILE to enforce the law against it.
We are of the opinion that if this
bill becomes law that not a sin
gle house will be licensed outside
the city of Wilmington and but
few there. We would practically
have prohibition in Delaware.
The mississippi law is framed
after this fashion and it is said to
be preferable to local option. The
temperance people of every shade
in. the State should rise up and
urge the Legislature to pass this
law and to do it speedily. We
hear but little said on this ques-
tion and fear that the temperance
people are not putting forth the
effort they should to secure this
law. What we need to do is to
"pulverize the liquor traffic"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
| |dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
|neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
|ening them and it is perfectly free from
|every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in so cent bottles, but it is man
|ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not

Are you cheated? The papers

No, and yet the Shoes are fairly
worth what they cost; but you

WAS MOST ENJOYABLE.
The Mask Ball of the Retired Hook and
Ladder Company.

As the social season draws near its
Windup the mask balls become the more
enjoyable. Perhaps the most enjoyable
one held this season was the one given
Monday night by the Retired Hook and
Ladder company. This company has
always had the reputation of being an
excellent entertainer, and guests at this
pleasant affair had not the slightest
reason to believe that the advancing
years Of the company has dropped its
time hospitality in the least.
The ball was held in the Park City
hall, north side, 1t was advertised
that Primrose & Vests MINISTRIES
would take part, and true to the ads.
the minstrel lads appeared, and were
the cause of an unending amount of
amusement. The show started off with
march of the minstrel boys from the
north side drug store down through
Main street The old charivari band
took part and the whole made very
fine appearance. There were about
thirty in the parade, most all dressed
in McIntoshes and with plug hats,
canes and blackened faces.
At the hall everything went pleas
antly. The place was crowded with
about all who could get into the hall.
The variety of costumes simply beggars
description. Beautiful prizes had been
offered for the best appearing costumes.
The first prize went to the English
coachmen and the next to the MINISTRIES.
Miss Pauline Schend was given the
prize for the best lady's costume, and
William Leineweber got the gents
comic prize.
Everything went off most pleasantly,
without an occurrence to mar the event
in the slightest degree. The Retired
Hook and Ladder company is to be
congratulated on the success.

Charity's Appeal.

A few days ago the Associated char
tiles had notice put in the papers say
ing that they we're out of funds, and
calling Oh those who had subscribed,
to pay in part of their assessment.
Some have thought it strange that we
should be out Of funds, and say no one
has called on them for money, as they
are ready to pay whenever the call is
made.
Allow me 10 say that Mr.. Charles
Brown is the only one authorized to
collect said funds, and we all know he
is very busy man and has not the
time to call on you individually, so if
you will be kind enough to hand him
your check for the amount, it will be
thankfully received.

Mrs. Lovell's Pension Rejected.
Communicated

The comrades of F. S. Lowell Post
No. 230, G.. A. r. are somewhat indig-
nant over the rejection of Mrs. LovelPs
claim for pension, which was rejected
Feb. 4, 1895. The claim has been
pending some eight years. 1t looks to
6 the boys as though the widow of a
soldier who had such record as Col.
Lowell had should have a pension at
this late day, and her seventy eight
years of age.
Col. Lovell's record is: Mustered as
It. Col 33d Regt. Wis. INIT. Aug
3Oth, 1862; wounded at Tupelo,
Miss, July 18th, 1854; promoted
Colonel 10th Wis. Vols. Jan. I'd,

Ala, and r. r. defences from Apr. a
'65 until Aug. 81, '65. Mustered out
as Col. Sept. 26, '65. Brevet Brig.
Gen. q. S. Vols. Oct. IL, 1865.
This case brings to our mind the re-
tort made at a W. r. C. social short
time ago. Some of the "old boys"
were enjoying their coffee and talking
over the outlook as to business in gen.
eral and pensions, when one of them
said. Z" Well boys, | don't see as we can
do much. only do the best we can
and pray" To which one of the boys
replied, " Yes, pray boys, through all
the year 80; if the chronic and other
aches and pains leave you alive"
" And pray hard for the day to come

old bum; when boards will look to a

Saving and Aiding the Girls.

A society is to be formed in this city
for the purpose of aiding working girls
that go from this to other cities, espec-
tally to Chicago. 1t is the work of the
Chicago Aid and Rescue society. 1t is
hoped that a society may be formed
here of at least 200 ladies. The plan
is very simple and is to shield and pro-
tect girls that go from the towns sur
rounding Chicago, coming into it and
being unconscious Of the traps set for
them. Many are led astray. OF the
900 girls that were rescued last year in
Chicago from the brothels and other
places of sin rs per cent was of girls
who came in from the country towns
within a radius of 200 miles of Chica-
go with good intention and purposes. /
shall call upon the ladies whose names
have and will explain the work fully.

MEN AND WOMEN.
A Dramatic Lesson in Charity il This
Great Play.

Twice III the course of De Mile and
Belasco's remarkable play. i" Men and
Women" is the lesson of charity
taught. The spirit of the Lords words
to Mary Magdalen, $50 and sin no
more" is emphasized in the history of
Stephen Rodman, and in the fate of
William Prescott, the central figure of
the drama, if any one figure may be
called central where several are so
nearly of equal Importance. The
world is not apt TO be SO charitable
with regard to theft as it is here shown,
and more's the pity. There is great
need of just such plays rs this to show
people that because man, under
stress of great excitement and temp
tation, takes what is not his, he is not
beyond hope. The dramatists place
two strong men in the position and re-
deems them both--not, however. be-
fore they have passed through the
agony which disgrace is sure to intiict
upon proud natures. I" Men and Wom-
en- !" is at once q fine sermon against
speculation, showing its folly us well as
its dangers, and plea for charity to
men who have been much tempted.
Stephen ROdman, the proSd. strong
man who, thousands Of miles away
from the scene of his early crime, earns
a fortune and the respect of his fellow
citizens, finds his real punishment when
he comes to marry his daughter and
has to tell her sutton the story of his.
past and buried life. Rodman's early
crime is so we'll treated by the play
wri9hts and the mystery and interest
concerning his past are SO we'll kept up
throughout the play, that one follows
his story with almost as much sympathy
as that of the hero, Prescott Perhaps
the authors felt that only a man like
Rodman, who had sinned and suffered.
could fully understand Prescott. Rod
man recalls Hugo's Jean Vatican, one
of the finest and most pathetic figures
in modern literature At the Rhode

What Is to Be Done F?

MIR. EDITOR What is to be done
for our young men? That is the ques-
ton of the day all over this country.
Are the good people Of this town giving
the matter the consideration they
ought to? Quite number attend the
Young Mems Christian Association,
which is the only place in Kenosha free
from evil influence open all day, where
young men are made welcome.
One thing is certain. however, that
at least three times as many young men
could be reached if we had a better
gymnasium. The many attractions
that are now being introduced into
modern Y. M. G. AS, such as bowling
alleys, we'll furnished game rooms,
nicely fitted up bathrooms, &c, are
proving great drawing cards, and
wherever located saving many young
men, by drawing them from the influ-
ence of the prince of this world. Citi-
zens of Kenosha, will you help us in
this work for young men? The saloons
have a strong hold in this town, and it
is time they were beng sat down upon.
At least twelve saloons were open last
Sunday and the drunkenness over on
the north side was something dis
graceful.
Six days Of the week they are called
saloons; on Sundays they receive the
fashionable name of" Clubs" Christian
men, for the sake Of our country, let us
do something to break up this work of
the devils.
Little has been said lately about "a
public library. A city with 5000 in
habitants ought to have one. If some
gentleman in this town was just to
take this matter in hand and push it, /
am sure it would not be long before the
money was raised.
Yours respectfully,
