MIR. HorDey Says That That May be the
Dangerous Time to Young Men.
I. T. Horney, superintendent Of the
Friendly Inn, Philadelphia, made an
address at the mems meeting in Asso-
citation Hall Sunday afternoon. Med.
ford III. Clhoon read from the 9th
chapter of the Acts of the Apostles,
which describes Paul's shipwreck, and
Mr.. Horney, in his address, which
was on the subject Of IA Fair Wind"
drew an analogy betw cen that voyage
and the voyage of life. 1t was very
practical and effective talk. Mr.. Horney
said that he had neither strange nor
new story to tell, no cunningly de-
vised fables, no funny tales. The state
ments of Gods Word are concise, sharp
and pungent and will not be changed.
The words The soul that sinneth it
shall die were not written to scare
women and children, or for atheists to
ieer at, but must be faced as an awful
truth.
The time of danger to young man,
is when he thinks everything is all
right. The speaker referred to personal
experience when having bright pros
poets he took a step that almost con-
signed him to drunkard's grave. He
cautioned young men about following
the dictates Of their own mind in OPP.
position to the advice of others. He
stated that the night preceding he had
stood before man who was graduate
of Harvard, and of the Maryland Uni
versity, who could speak four languages,
and yet he was without home, drunk
and hungry. In 81 years Mr.. Horney
said that he had known hundreds of
thousands of men who had made the
fatal mistake that they thought they
could make the voyage of life alone.
He declared that without Christ plans
would come to naught. 1t is not more
ability, or more education that the
world needs, but more true manhood.
Referring 10 the tempest in Paul's
voyage when things were thrown over
board, the speaker applied it to
young mans life and said that an APP
petite for strong drink, covered life,
must be thrown overheard, One anchor,
that of hope, would suffice to hold any
sinner. The people on the ship threw
everything overheard and lost them
and the ship went to pieces, every
thing was destroyed, but not one of the
people was lost.
The same God that saved those people
the speaker brought to his hearers. He
referred to the fact that st. Paul's adj
vice was followed after the shipwreck,
and showed how a man, after he has
made mistake, says if he had only
followed his mothers or fathers advice
it might have been better for him.
Speaking of the desire of some young
men to SOW their wild oats, he said,
MAY God help you at the reaping
time. after telling Of Satan's con-
tinual deception of men and some of its
sad results, Mr.. Horney turned to the
brighter picture of the future of the
men who turn in with Christ.

mieHr nAvB nnoEIrnD 4 LEGACY.

MHdHT HdFE hbtfsb' ED q LEUACfs
Had Mrs. Susan Cook Lived She Would
Probably Have Obtained II Portion of II
Request.
1t is believed that Mrs. Susan Cook,
who was fatally burned at her home,
No. COB Church street, on Monday
morning, would have inherited legacy
from brother, who recently died in
Ireland, but member of the family
stated to a reporter of The Gazette
Friday that with her death. which
occurred on Monday week, vanished
the chance of her family deriving any
benefit from her brothers. beQuest
One OF the sons of the deceased stated
that about six weeks. ago lady living
in Wilmington received letter con-
tanning information to the effect that
Mrs. Cooks brother had bequeathed
money amounting to between S400 and
$500, the proceeds of the sale of his
effects which was to be divided be-
tween Mrs. Cook and her sister, who,
it is supposed lives in Philadelphia.
The provision was made, however, that
the money should be so divided in case
both of the sisters were living, but If
one should die before receiving the
money, it should all go to the surviving
sister, consequently, according to the
belief Of Mrs. Cooks son, her family
will derive no benefit, but as the
amount is not large the members of the
Cook family are giving it but little
thought.
AS reported in last weeks paper, on
Monday, Mrs. Cook had arranged to go
to Philadelphia ON that day and make
a search for her sister and also learn
what she could about the supposed
legacy But while she was preparing
breakfast on that morning her clothing
caught fire and she was 50 badly burned
that she died at the Delaware Hospital
| in the afternoon.
The case is particularly sad and the
members of the family have the sym
patty Of the neighbors, who have been
offering coincidence ever since the un'
fortunate occurrence.
The funeral was held Friday. Ser
vices we're conducted by the Rev. E. j.
McManus at st. Mary's Church and
interment was made in the new Cathe-
dral cemetery.

Sta'es.
The trends of the Cuban cause in this
city arc highly elated over the news
from Washington of the passage of the
concurrent resolution to recognize the
bo!ligerency of Cuba. Many people
stopped in the storsof De Soto Brothers
on Market street near Eighth, Saturday
morning, and congratulated the Messrs.
De Soto on the result. Tho action
means great deal to the Cuban cause.
Ralph De Soto says that it will be
followed by similar action by the South
American States from Mexico to Pata-
gonia. Recognized as belligerent,
Cuba may send its war vessels to any
port for supplies, and they can sail the
seas without liability to capture as
pirates.

A hill which is now before Congress
provides for the abolition of compul-
sorry pilotage. New England vessel
owners are credited with getting up the
measure. They object to paying pilot
age fees, holding that the captains are
as competent to take their vessels up
the rivers as many of the pilots. Under
the existing law inbound and outbound
vessels are compelled 10 take pilots
New York pilots will fight the new
measure. The Delaware pilots have
taken no action SO far as is known
against the bill. At present pilots
work under State laws. Some vessel
owners, however, would favor the pas
sage of law placing them under the
control Of the genera government.

to Alderman Berry in Chester, Thurs
day evening, for warrant of arrest for
Thomas Mccarthy of Philadelphia,

which he entrusted him. Connolly
said he entered the room where Me
Carthy was doing business and handed
$50 in at the box window to place on

to whom the money had been given
soon disappeared and it dawned upon
Connolly that he had been duped.

Lynch e. Co., on Morrow street just
above Eighth, Gael & Bro. g. grocery
store, on Eighth street west of Morrow,
and Aument Eckmans' Office, in room
over the store, were almost totally de-
stroyed by fire early Saturday morning.
The dwelling of George Sheath, ad-
joining the grocery store, and the
laundry at Eighth and Morrow streets,
was damaged by water
The horses and carriages in the sta
bles were removed and only such things
as feed and minor articles were burned.
The origin of the fire is mystery, but
in few minutes after it was discov-
cred in the store it had reached serious
proportions. An alarm was turned in
from the box at Ninth and Madison
streets and ths fire apparatus in the
district responded and fought the
flames until O'Clock. The firemen
worked heroically, and to them Is due
a great deal of credit for combining it
in such small space after it had made

Judge Wales on Saturday filed an
opinion in the United States circuit
court of appeals. and Judge Butler
filed a dissenting opinion, in the suit
of William Baldwin of Marion, Ind,
against the National Hedge and Wire
Fence Co. of York, Pa, deciding the
controversy, which grew out Ct a
patented improvement appertaining to
the FLASHING down of hedge fences, in
favor of Baldwin. Baldwin contended
that the license given by him to the
defendant company for the right in
the patented invention was merely for
Baltimore county, Md, and was not an
assignment for the manufacturing and
selling of the improved invention
throughout the United States, the
latter construction put upon it being a
mistake. The case was originally heard
before Judge Dallas in the circuit
court in Philadelphia, where Bald.
wins bill was dismissed. 1t was heard
upon appeal by Judges Acheson, But
Ter, and Wales, last November, in the
United States circuit court of appeals.
Judge Dallas finding was reversed.
