Chief Justice Lore becomes u Full Member
of Grace NJ. Il. Chureh.

of Grace NJ. Il. Church.
An impressive scene was enacted in
Grace NJ. Il. Church at the regular
morning service last Sunday when the
pastor, tho Rev. Merritt Hulburd. S.
4. D., extended an invitation to join
church. DIR. J. T. V. Blocksom and
Mrs. Blocksom went forward, and
almost Mt the same moment in which
the congregation noticed that third
person was with them. 1t was none
other than Chief Justice Charles b.
Lore.
Everyone in the church was surprised,
for Judge Lore seems not to have told
anybody that he contemplated joining
church. DIR. Hulburd, himself, was
visibly affected as he extended tho
right hand Of fellowship to the Chief
Justice of Delaware and received him
into full membership. Even DR.. HUI
burd did not know before Of Judge
Lore's intention.
The Chief Justice in his early life
was a member of ST. Paul's M. f..
Church. He was being fitted for the
ministry aud graduated from Dickinson
College. Instead, however, Of entering
the ministry, he took up the study OF
law, in which profession he has reached
the highest position in tho State. He
gave up his membership at st. Paul's
about 30 years ago, and had not since
joined any church, until last Sunday.
He had attended the services at Grace
for about the last five years,

are many robber chiefs who scuur the
country. plundering the peasants, seiz-
ing the wealthier and releasing them
for considerable sums OF money or Tor
cattle, killing all who resist or other
wise give offence. and laying up treas
ures to themselves, which they invest
in gorgeous fustanellas lcoatsl and
costly weapons which would excite the
envy and open the purse strings OF
connolsseur, Some Of these Rinaldo-
Rinaldinis allow themselves the
princely luxury of a summer and u
winter residence, and treat with Turk
ish dignitaries on a footing, not Of
equality, but OF incompatible superb
ority. They are the terror of the poo
pie. Numbers of villages pay them
regularly and periodically blackmail,
which purchases immunity from at
tacks within. but not beyond the village
precincts. The names of these ruflians,
who are all Arnauts, are mentioned
with bated breath, or in euphemious
synonyms like that of the evil one,
Their bloody deeds are never even al.
luded to. Tho Turks once in while
made seeming efforts to seize, disarm
and punish them, but these attempts,
NhiNh hCNtI NGnl holouu lud paper
they were described on, have long since
ceased. At present the Government
Zaptiehs would not dare to encroach
upon the domain of the Arnauta, not
il the Padishah himself were to COM
mand them. Even when escorted by
members of the robber gang, as they
always are, the Zaptiehs are in perpet-
ual fear Of receiving bullet through
the heart or head from some invisible
rifle from the heights. One of the
most redoubtable of these hrigands is
Karabatshek ('the little @hip'') who
is a veritable scourgo to the people
round Goritsa and over broad stretch
of country beyond. And he will re-
main a scourge as long MS helives. Not
only is complaint on the part of the
victims dangerous in the highest de-
gree, but even when foreign consuls
venture to demonstrate, and point out
the unburied corpses that rot on the
wayside, the authorities reply by a
shrug of the shoulders and request
that the deed be traced to some con-
crete individual.
The fact is that brigandago in Mace.
donia VIII be uprooted only when the
Turks have ceased to wieid any power
there. Their sway is So inextricably
bound up with Turkish government
that to shake the one is to extirpate
the other. The authorities simply can
not afford 10 put the Arnauts down,
and that is the key TO that part Of the
problem.

a Plea from Elicndaie In Behalr of th,
Northern Route.

Northern Route.
Editor Gazette & journal: Our people
are very much In earnest in their desire
to secure the building of the Queen
Anne's railroad via Greenwood, Ellen
dale and Milton. We consider this
route the more feasible one on account
OF its shortness and the reduced cost in
building compared to the longer and
more expensive route via Bridgeville
and Georgetown. We understand the
projectors of the road are looking for
the shortest possible route to sea. III
this be true then there is no doubt in
the writer's mind but what tho northern
route will be chosen, as it is about five
miles shorter than the southern route.
We also understand that it is esti-
mated that the Georgetown route will
cost about SO, 600 more than the Ellen
dale route, besides the cost OF running
trains the extra five miles and keeping
tho road-bed in repair after being built.
We are situated in the peach belt,
sending last year to market from this
station 900 baskets of peaches. We
are surrounded with fine orchards and
II the road comes this way we will
draw all the peaches from the sur.
rounding country, including the great
PNhNh NAthaidb Vi NlhuHultT MEEK.
Splendid orchards were get last fall
and many more trees will be planted
IN the spring We are Just in our in
fancy in peach growing compared with
what it is possible for us TO do With
our virgin soil, which is being brought
into cultivation and which is so adapt
cd 10 the growing of trees. our future
as fruit-growing country looms up
bright before us and should be taken
into consideration by the builders Of
the Queen Anne's railroad when look
ing for the most available route.
While we have all these advantages
to our crcdlt our neighhors, the citi-
zens of Georgetown, are not asleep.
They are working hard to secure sub
scriptions and right of way. 1t be-
hooves our people to be up and doing
and wo are glad to say they are awake
and at work. Our farmers are reepond.
ing nobly by giving the privileges
asked by the railroad company, until
at the present writing the right of way
has been granted with few exceptions
from Milton to Denton This is a good
start and we believe, il our people will
subscribe literally to the stock. the
enterprise is ours. We say again TO
our, people work as you have never
worked before. ~
