If the writer's up of marriages will
somewhat change the style of descrip-
ton now in use the long suffering pub
lie will be thankful. The ''pretty we'd
ding might be given some other name.
The old stereOtyped phrase ''the bride
leaning on the arm" like sick kitten
to a hot brick, marched up the aisle"
to the ''strains of LOhengrin's beauti-
full wedding march" might be changed
to mistaken souls who dream of
bliss, "COme We Disconsolate'' or any
thing for variety or a new idea will
be received.-DeialUGre Pilot.
On Friday morning last, tramp
walking along the P. W. &B. r. R.,
near ClaymOnt, espied a broken rail,
which would occasion a serious acci-
dent to train at full speed. He there
upon took out his red handkerchief
and with it signaled the train, which
was about due, to stop. The engine
was brought to a stop about 12 feet
away from the broken rail. The action
of the tramp was reported by the con-
ductOr to the officials of the road. The
man was sent for, present of $25 was
made him, and a place was found for
him in the employ of the company.
The Rev. DR.. James Dixon Shanks
has resigned the principalship of New
ark Academy and will turn over to the
trustees all their property at the end of
the scholastic year. DR.. Shanks IS
pastor of Head of Christiana Presby-
terian Church and will devote his en-
tire time to the duties connected with
his pastoral charge. 1t has been sug-
gested by prominent trustees of Della
ware College to unite the academy with
the college, making it the ladies de-
partment, but the general opinion of
the academy trustees seems to be Op-
posed to such a move at this time.
Senator Gray. member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, Friday,
rose in order, as he explained it, to ex-
plain briefly the reasons which COM
PEELED him to Withhold his assent from
the conference report; but he was sub
jected to so many Interruptions that
his brief statement occupied over an
hour. 1t closed with an expression of
the hope that ''Spain, without rupture
of friendly relations, shall sit down
with us at the council board of nations
and consider whether there may not be
some other issue of this sorry cOntrO-
versy than the determination of a
whole people fighting for their hber-
ties. "
Quite an historical relic has been un-
earthed from the library of the late

ports, by Francis Vesey, Jr., and on
the fly leaf are the autographs of Caesar
Rodney, John Fisher, John NJ. Clay
ton, Robert Frame, and that of the
last owner, n. B. Smithers. The book
was presented by Caesar Rodney to
John Fisher in 1907, afterwards sold
to John NJ. Clayton, presented by him
to Robert Frame and bought after
wards from Thomas Clayton, admins
traitor of Robert Frame, by n. b.
Smithers.
As A CONGRESSIONAL DEBATER. The
NeW York Tribune in discussing the
speeches delivered in the House on
Friday on the Bayard resolution, Mr..
Fairchild of New York wanting i'm
peachment rather than a vote of cen
sure, has the following in reference to
our representative: "The speech OF
Mr.. Willis, of Delaware, who opposed
the first resolution on account of State
pride and supported the second one for
reasons satisfactory to himself, com
maDded the attention of both sides,
and was rewarded with frequent and
hearty applause. He was formerly a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and although he retired from
the ministry a dozen years ago he has
by no means forgotten the lessons
learned then, and his speech abOunded
in moral sayings, quantity put and
sparkling with hOmely humOr, which
were keenly relished by his auditors
1t became evident before he had finish
ed that so long as he continues to be {
member of the House it will be some
: what dangerous for members who arr
opposed to him to quote Scripture an(
attempt to interpret and apply it. !"
