The Delaware Historical Society received
several valuable and interesting gifts at the
regular monthly meeting held last night
Pefhaps the ffrst in Importance was that
from Ambassador Bayard. 1t was q COPY
and fac-simile Of a map of the Peninsula
that was made by Augustine Herman in
1871. The original map is In the British
Museum, and at the request OF the United
States Government a photograph was made
and fac-simile produced. The ambassador
asked for and received permission to have a
copy made for the Delaware Historical So
ciety.
Judging from the maps that are studied
in the schools of to-day no one would ever
recognize the Peninsula in this old map.
The Atlantic ocean is called the North Sea
Now Jersey is spoken Of as New Jarsy. The
latter territory is described as mostly in
habited by Indians" The maker of the map
evidently took great deal for granted, and
in shape the land looks little like that
which is marked on the maps OF to-day. Will

are indicated. There is a picture Of Mr.
Herman on the document. other gifts that
attracted great deal Of attention were the
Life and Works of the Milford Bard, and
piece Of sculpture by the bard himself. The
sculpture represented a sleeping baby and
was from marble.
The bard was not as good sculptor as
he was poet, but the work was excellent
for an amateur. These gifts were from
Mrs. Joseph NJ. Mather and Mrs. Job II.
Jackson. The book and sculpture were
given to the late DR.. II. #. Askew, the
father of Mrs. Mather. DR.. Askew at

Lecture by the Hon. I.emuoi Ely Quigg ut
the Auditorium.

The Hon. Lemuel Ely Quigg Of New York
city delivered his lecture on "The Nick of
Time" at the Auditorium last night to an
audience of about three hundred people
The speaker was INTRODUCED by the Rev. DR..
Hulburd.
The lecture was a finished oratlon In
which the orator discussed the character
istics OF the American people ascribing
their success to the qualities of perception
and adaptability which he said, were dis
tlnct national traits. They are the results
of the circumstances and opportunities of
youthful nation; circumstances that made
the nation self-conscious as all youth is
self-conscious; but with this fault 1t is to
the Americans credit that he generally
knows when the nick OF time has come.
Selling the opportunity and adapting him
self readily to the demands of the crisis In
his affairs he rides easily to fortune. The
lecturer found much in these facts over
which to congratulate the American people,
and said that 1t needs no argument to prove
that a country where presidents are made
of rail splitters, and society queens of fac
tory girls, Is good place to live in. The
lecture was full of fine examples of char
acter painting, sharp, but not entirely un-
sympathetic criticisms of the men and
women who being tot joint in saying and
doing the wrong things, and who fail 1t
was also finely eulogistic of the circum-
stances which open wide vlstas for aspira-
tion for big things, and the ambition to at
tain high places.
The demand for integrity of character
was inferred by the lecturer. He insisted
that genuine politics should be patriotism; ;
that the spring of human action should be
controlled by religion that impels the
doing to others as one would have others do
unto him.
The Shubert Quartette, Messrs. Thomas
Benson, Henry Baird. Robert Walters and
Charles Currinder, with John Craig at the
piano, sang two selections at the opening
and one at the close of the entertainment,
which were heartily applauded.
Mr.. Quigg was the guest of his parents at
Wesley NJ. Z. parsonage last night. He
will leave for New York this morning.

Mr.. r. B. Dunn. Of New York City, has
been comparing and chartlng the returns
OF the grip epidemic to ascertain what, IL
any, relation exists between the preva-

prevalence OF grip. His conclusion is that
tho weather 10 an important factor IN the

The fatality Is most marked whom the

that when the tcm perature and humidity

The Hawaiian Royaiists Must Fight Their
BATTLES Unnided.

bhttieh Uhhlueus
LONDON, Jan. 22.-Mr. Hoffnung, the
Hawaiian consul general in London, has
received dispatch from $. NJ. Damon,
the Hawaiian minister of finance stating
that the revolution in Hawaii has been en-
tirely suppressed and that communica-
tion between the different islands has been
resumed. Regarding tho reports in circu'
lation MS to the British support given to
the revolutionists, Mr.. Hoffnung says
there was no question Of Grent Britain in.
tervening in the affairs of Hawaii.
The consul general says that the British
government will not lift finger in regard
to the internal politics of Hawaii, and ex-
presses the opinion that the failure Of
Great Britain to recognize the envoys sent
by ex-Queen Liliuokalani to this country
was probably the reason Of the present
outbreak. The royalists, he said, have
been counting upon the support of Great
Britain, and thoy now know that they
have to rely upon their own effort In
conclusion Mr.. Hoffnung said: 81 am NOT
surprised at the news of the revolt, and
ami afraid it is but the commencement Of
serious times, as the native party out
numbers the republicans. .-..
