with that divinest of dishes-the tender
terrapin, that there is supper fit for
the gods. Yes, after the terrapin is all
eaten up, and We are discussing the
play, the men do smoke, but the
women! Well, no. Women who like
it can do it. In the Hut, as the
hostess arranges the menu, there is
nothing for women to smoke. 1t may
be pretty to see woman smoke, but
doubt it, In early youth there was
imprinted upon my mind two lines of
an exquisite piece of poetry that began
in this fashion:
God never made that pretty mouth

Those lines may be crude, but they
are truthful, on the word Of BAB.

Bishop Coleman Ofiiciates ut "a Centennial
Celebration.

bishop Coleman Ofictntes Mt "a Centennial
Celebration.
Bishop Coleman preached the morning
sermon at the Bishop Seabury centen-
NAL celebration in st. James Church,
New London, on Wednesday. Bishop
Seabury was the first bishop in the
Episcopal church in this country.
Bishop Coleman took as his theme
Samuel Segbury as Bishop and Theo-
Logan.
In the course of his sermon he said:
Eve have come together to honor the
memory of man whose biography is
especially connected with the national
history. By So much as we gratefully
honor this name We do the more honor
and give thanks to God who in His
creatures condesccnds to work out some
of His most wonderful plans. Bishop
Seabury was eminentIy builder.
But he was builder of the Nehemiah
pattern. With his one hand he wrought,
and with the other he held weapon.
Not that he was ford of controversy,
but conviction was so strong and so
mature that rather than to forego or
even temporize with them, he would il
necessary enter into the most unlikely
contest. Sometimes he won; some
times he failed; but his courage and
consistency never failed him. 1t is
noteworthy that after his enforced re-
tirement and sufferings tho latter to
the point of peril to his life-because
of his political sentiments, that he was
chosen of his fellow priests for the
highest position to which he could
attain, enamely that of bishop in
the church of God. ~
Bishop Coleman quoted from the
Archbishop of Canterbury in regard to
Bishop Seabury, and also from the
bishops first and last charges to his
people.

Prior to placing the bell in the belfry

in walnut tree in the yard After a
time the tree blew down and permits
sion was obtained of the vestrymen
and the stump was dug up by Peter b.
Forman, one of Wimington's oldest

From a part of this old walnut stump
the heads of the gavel and baton were
made. The live oak used for the handle
of the gavel was taken from the bull

baton came from tho frigate Constitu-

JOHN III. INMAN'S DEATH.
Had Lost Heavily on August Cotton
and Appeared to BE Worried.

ana Appeared w OFEheus
From the New York Tribune. Nov. 7.
The announcement of the death of John
II. Inman, head of the well-known cotton
firm of Inman Swami & Co., caused sur
prise in this city yesterday. Only a few
relatives, friends and business associates
of Mr.. Inman knew that he had been in
poor health and as in retirement. Some
of them said yesterday that Mr.. Inman
had been suffering from nervous exhaus.
ton and heart trouble for several weeks.
His health failed so completely that he
was obliged to stop work in the summer
and take to the country. He suffered
from a depression Of spirits, which took
the form OF melancholia, and by the ad
vice of relatives and friends he went to
quiet sanitarium near New Canaan, Conn,
to rest, where he died early Thursday
morning.
1t was generally understood among COZ
ton men that Mr.. lnman had lost large
sums of money in August cotton. One RI
the brokers at the cotton exchange SAID
yesterday that Mr.. lnman made about
$780, coo in the market last year, and was
supposed to have lost u much larger sum
in August of this esr. Mr.. Inman be-
heved that the short cotton crop in MS

Mr. Inman had been accustomed to take
a vacation every summer but he remain

OF this year, and kept in constant touch
with the market. His friends understood
that his losses made him feel that he
could not leave his business. His asso-

The authorities could bring about much
Improvement by beginning a stricter police
supervision over the sale of meats, vege-
tables and fruits. The poorer people buy
the poorer quality of these, and often eat
them when partly decayed this is the
cause of those diarrheal diseases that
carry off so many children among the
poor.
By policy of continually appointing as
city physicians, men of ability and expe-
rience, and extending their duties, requir-
ing them to give all their time to practice
among the poor and to cooperate with the
health officer in the abatement of nui-
sances, the enforcement of cleanliness, Of
ventilation, and proper nursing in the sick
room and around the house. 1t should be
their duty to investigate every case of
abor ton and Of stlll-birth with a view to
their prevention. They should be liable
to pay fines and to dismissal for neglect
Of duty.
BY making it a crime punishable with
fine and Imprisonment, to harbor a sick
person, without calling for medical aid.
BY furnishing any person convicted of
practicng midwifery without license, to
a long term of Imprisonment, and by APP
pointing a board of physicians who will be
intrusted with the duty of giving license
to practice midwifery to such persons only
as are able to pass credtably, a written
ana an oral examination upOti thdl VI dhCl
of medicine, which would prevent hun
dreds of death from abortion, from still
births, and from trismus.
Such ordinances, if rigidly enforced,
would therefore remove the principal
causes Of that excessive mortality among
negroes, without putting any additional
burden upon the city, and by requiring all
physicians and midwives to report every
birth, every death, and every contagious
disease TO the health officer there would
be no further reason why a health bulle-
tin should not be issued here every month,
as it is done in other cities.
