as they wanted to sec the fun, but Bill
Hopkins said it should be that way. As
he understood matters, gentlemen al
ways went off by themselves to settle
disputes. If the stranger was 4 gentle
man, he couldn't afford to DO anything
else. He'd lick him out Ct his boots in
five minutes, but he'd lick him as one
gentleman should lick another
Thus it came about that the pair went
off together un the hill after dark, each
one bowling and scrapirg and trying to
outdo the other in gentility. They were
to take position ten rods apart, and at q
signal from camp were torush together.

DOVER. Del, July 81, 1893.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN-My Dear Sir.
see In your issue OF this date that the SAM
tary condition of the jail Is very bad and
that IN outbreak Of disease is threatened.
Now, sir, think you are very much mis-.
informed In the matter. In the case of
Mr., Moore who was threatened with ma
larial fever, can assure you the fever was
not contracted in the jail, as the man was
very feeble when he was placed in the GUS
tody Of the Sheriff.
/ agree with your informant that our
room is taxed very heavy, and would be
much pleased II we have more room, 80
chat we could give ample accommodation
to all persons, who are committed to our
care, but will say that Sheriff Shaw and
his assistants are doing and will do all In
their power for the accommodation and
the comfort for any man that is SO I'M
fortunate to be his guest, while he Is in
charge The Jail is kept as clean as Is
possible, and Gun assure you that 1t will
compare very favorably with any institu-
ton of like character, where they are more
favorably located, and have far more con-
yenienres than we have for taking care Of
those who are SO unfortunate as to be
placed in similar position,
There has been but very little sickness
of any character In the jail this year and
i don't think that l am misrepresenting
our Jail physician when say that he has
not been called to the jail officially not ex-
ceeding ten times since the lst Of March
1890, and can assure you and your patrons
that Sheriff Shaw dose all in his power to
promote the morals in all and every man
ner, and compes so far as possible, to get
the prisoners to keep themselves clean;
also their coils, SO that NJ disease may
make lis appearance. Hoping that your
information may be obtained from some
IHliabla 6pilrCa. and that Whppypr thew
may be, I only ask of and demand thor
ough examination of the Kent county
jail. l AN yours very respectfully,

Camden Camp.

Camden camp meeting ground has been
The attractive place for Kent countians
during the last week. The weather has
been generally pleasant and the atten.
dance large. The storms of Monday and
"Wednesday nights drenched the place
with water but did no serious damage.
The wind scattered the firebrands from
the big light fires about the grounds and
created some little excitement. but the
brands were soon extingushed and all
fear from that source was quickly allayed.
As Is frequently the case with modern
camp meetings the social side Of the en-
cainpment has apparently minimized the
religious influences. Up to Thursday
night the altar services had attracted little
attention. There had up to that time been
no penitents at the altar AID no CONVEX.
siOns lad been reported.
A meeting Of the managers of tho camp
meeting association was held on Thursday
evening. 1t was decided to build plat
form at the entrance to the grounds and
to hold service there for the bonett of
the people who do not attend preaching at
the tabernacle. The first service at the
new platform will be held on Sunday.
Rev. L. A. H. Brien, of Frederick and
Rev. s. j. Macallister, of Boston, Mass,
will preach to the politicians on that day.
The services will be help at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and at O'Clock In the even

services.
