college was established but they now
believe the time has come for having it.
AS yet the matter has not been thor
oughly canvassed.

Something About Local Organization
In Which Many People Are Interested
It's Objects and Purposes.
Editor Gazette Dc Journal: The Sons of
the American Revolution as an organl-
zallcn knows no politics save the poli-
tics OF patriotism, and no religion save
the religion founded UPON pure lives
devoted to the upbuildiug OF our COM
mon country, but which in all social,
religious and political movements viii
use its utmost influence to bind with
stronger cords Of patriotic love the
widely-separated parts Of our country
and to fan into more fervent glow the
determination to maintain the distlnc-
tive character of our national institu-
tons. a
This society is composed of men
whose ancestors were among the Revo-
lutionary patriots who fought to estab-
fish American independence, and their
bones and blood enriched the battlefields
from Massachusetts to the Caroinas,
and their deaths-and sufferings which
were greater than death, resulted in
establishing the country which we, their
sons, enjoy.
The Sons OF the American Revolution
are proud of their ancestry, proud that
revolutionary blood flows through their
veins, and desire to perpetuate that
pride of birth and blood in the hearts
Of their sons and daughters and of all
who, like us, can trace their descent
from the same noble source.
Who are eligible? The following is
an extract from the constitution OF the
National Society s, A. R.:
"Any man shall be eligible to mem
bership in this society, who being OF
the age of 81 years or over, and a citi'
zen of good repute in the community,
is a lineal descendant of an ancestor,
who was at all times unfailing In his
loyalty to, and rendered actual service
in the cause OF American Independence,
either as an officer, soldier, marine,
militaman or minute man, in the armed
forces of the Continental Congress or
Of any one of the several colonies or
States; or as signer of the Declaration
of Independence; or as member Of q
committee of safety or correspondence;
or as a member of any continental,
provincial or colonial Congress or Legis-
lature; or as a civil officer either OF one
of the colonies or States, or of the
national government or as recognized
oatriot who performed actual service by
overt acts of resistance to the authority
pf Great Britain"
Many of our first citizens have Joined
the Delaware Society, ana others are
looking up their record. We hope by
the 9TH day of December, 1895 delaware
Day., to show membership of at least
five hundred, coming from all parts of
the State.
The officers Of the Delaware Society
are: President, Ambassador Thomas
+. Bayard; Vice.P President, Judge
Leonard E. Wales; Registrar, l.. b.
Jones; Secretary, Frank II. Carswell.
Any of these officials will be glad to
give any person the desired information.
Application blanks can be obtained from
the secretary.

1t is estimated that between 1000 and

the crowded condition of the cars pre-

accommodate the immense crowd. Some
of the cars over the latter road had people
