GOOD TEMPLARS.
New Notes Pertaining to the Good of
 the Order.

On next Monday evening farce will be produced by members of Garden Valley lodge after lodge. Arrange ments had been made to put it on the boards last Monday night, but the storm prevented.
 Tomorrow evening Unity lodge will give an ice cream social in the Crelgh- ton school house, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of parapher- nalia and supplies for juvenile tenn ple. Everybody is invited to be pres ent and eat.
 Miss Heilman has been chosen su- perintendent of Juvenile Temples and will have charge of the lodge when organized.
 Garden Valley lodge will elect off, cers on next Monday evening.
 Glendale lodge took vacation this quarter, but will begin meeting again on the 18th. Invitations have been issued to members of other lodges to be present.
 W. l.. Van Horn, who died in Hol- brook last week, will be greatly missed in Good Templar circles as he was one of our most active and pro gressive members. He was a delegate from Flagstaff to the first session of the grand lodge,, and has attended every session since.
 In 1893 he represented the Arizona grand lodge in the international su- preme lodge. He was grand coun- selor in 1923 and district templar of Maricopa county in 18934. His place in our ranks will be hard to fill. Good Templary has lost one of her brightest and most jealous workers, and his un- timely death will be mourned by hundreds throughout Arizona.

 Goods.

Goods.
 A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per- sons were sitting at table in local hotel, when the splendid mustache of q horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal er and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. "Ten francs" !" replied the latter, laughingly.. <'I will buy half of them,' said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite approaching the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 800 francs damages for non-execu- ton of his contract.

eAs Axp ra rcre1c LieHr:
Some Suggestions for the Consideration
CItszeus al New CASTLE,


Citsz~ns 81 New Castle.
Editor The Gazette. There is a
simple matter now before the City
Council of New Castle, yet the manner
in which it IL discussed would lead the
average observer TO suppose they had /"
very hard problem. to solve. The
question is whether Now Castle shall
be lighted by gas. the present system of
lighting the city, .of by electricity.
The Council, as representatives of the
citizens the best that can be furnished,
either in light OF nnything else that is
public improvement, with the money
furnished by taxes, and used in a
judicious manner.
In introducing tho electric light and
estimating the extra cost to the city OF
the same, over the present price OF gas,
the people should ecognize the fact
that they will have the additional adj
vantage of Improvement in light. II
will not take long for the wide-awake
citizen to see the advantage our people
will derive in the near future. 1t must
be plain to all progressive people that
any improv ement must be a benefit to
the city and ita future prosperity.
There is no necessity for nur Councils
to mako any mistake or blunder in
making contract with electric com
pany. This is a business transaction
on the part Of City Council |, acting as
agents for the people.
In regard TO the gas company, there
is quite room enough Ia the city for
both it and the electric light company.
As suggested in the New Castle News
of December 18th, let the gas company
furnish gas at a figure that will allow
people to use it both as light and fuel
in their homes. 1t has always been a
very difficult matter for the progressive
citizens of this city to understand why
there is SO much opposition to any and
every Improvement that 10 urged by
the progressive element. All cities and
towns have their croskers. but it il
safe TO say that this town has on hand
an extra crop. 1t is the same old story
enacted over and over again, objection.
opposition and continual kicking
against any and all improvements.

The Delaware Peser Society Objects To Mill
tary Drill In the Public schools.
The executive committee Of the Della.
ware Peace Society held meeting on
Thursday afternoon and decided to pro-
test against military drill in the public
schools. A committee will go before
the Board OF Education, on Monday
night and make formal objection. At
the meeting the following were
adopted:
Resolved, That we learn with regret
of renewed effort to subject tine
pupils of our public schools to military
training. The proposal was made to
the Board Of Education Of Wilmington,
April 22d, 1895, and was met by an
earnest remonstrance of many of our
best and most publio-spirited citizens,
and abandoned at that time.
Resolved, That we believe this pro-
posal is fraught with evil to the COM
munity and disadvantage and demorali-
cation to the boys; diatranting their
attention from their proper legitimate
studies.
Resolved, That war drill interferes
with the rights of parents TO have their
children protected while at school from
temptations to enter military life,
which is beset with attractions to vice
and immortality in "a much greater
degree than civil life and industrial
p ursuits. "

Pacific by His Steamer.
Captain Thomas Of the British tank
steamer Delaware. hence for London,
which, on Sunday, ran into and sunk
the dredge Pacific, at Cherry Island
Flats, Delaware river, has given his
explanation of the accident He stated
that the dredge was pointing sufii-
GENTLY far enough on the starboard
bow of the steamer for him to clear 1t,
and that his vessel would have passed
the dredge safely had it not been that
the stern of his steamer struck bottom,
which no turned her to one side as to
cause her 10 run into the dredge.
When the collision occurred the en-
gines were going at full speed astern,
but the vessel failed to answer her
helm, which was because she wns
touching bottom. The captain, Pilot
Church and Third Mate Duck were on
} the bridge at the time, and the look
out was stationed ON the forecaHtle
head.
After the collision. the captain says,
| he took every precaution to save the
! crew of the dredge. In less than two
minutes boat was 10 the water in the
charge Of Second Mate Smith. and the
entire crew OF 10 men were taken into
| the boat from the dredge, Eight Of
them were placed on board the steam
boat Brandywine and tine other two re-.
manned in the ships boat, and all
were landed in Wilmington. The
dredge, 1t ia stated, will be able to
continue work on tho flats soon after
sine is raised, as the damage to her is
not extensive.
The United States engineers give
the following information regarding
the dredge to the Maritime Exchange:
1.-THE wreck of the dredge Pacific
lies in 10 feet of water, 10, 600 feet
below the Cherry Island front range
light She is slowed to the westward
of the range, her port quarter being
on the range. She was headed down
stream when struck. Her pilot house
Is four feet out of water and her work
ing frames can be plainly seen. She is
good day mark and lights are placed
on her at night"
At 10 o clock, a. m. Wednesday United
States Commissioner Smith took testi-
monv, de bene esse. OF the crew of the
Pacific as away-going witnesses. l..
Q. Vandegrift represented the dredge
and Ii. X. Edmunds the owner of the
Delaware. The writs will be returnable
on December 3lst. January 4th and
9th, and on those dates the owners OF
the steamer are required to file their
answers. The matter will come before

Council May Pass an Ordinance Authorfz-
ing sinking Fund Commissioners TO Act.
As there is doubt in the minds OF
some conserving the authority of the
Sinking Fund Comm ssioners to pay OIL
the S176. 600 loan which falls due next
February, II is altogether likely that
City Council will pass an ordinance
authorizing the commissioners to sell
the bonds aud issue new certificates.
1t ia claimed by some that AN act
passed by the Legislature in 1887 gives
the Sinking Fund Commissioners the
power to pay oil the loan without
further action by Council.
The act which IL entitled IAN Act
to further confirm aud establish an
Act entitled An Act TO provide a
Sinking Fund for the payment OF the
city debt Of Wilmington, which
was passed at Dover, April 2lst, 1887,
reads as follows:
''Sec. l. That the provisions, terms
and conditions OF the ct untitled AN
Act to provide a Sinking Fund for the
payment OF the city debt of Whining

amendents thereto shall be and the
same are hereby construed, established,
extended, considered and held here
after to apply to the original issues oil

and that all tho bonds of said city

now and by this Act extended and

to the effect that they were engaged in
