How to Prevent Pneumonia.


At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy IL cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough
remedy. We have used it extensively
and it has always given entire satisfac-
tion.-Olagah. Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known

sons who have weak lungs Or have reason
to fear an attack of pneumonia, should
keep the remedy at hand. The 25c aud

chinery has thrown many men out Of
employment, but the demand for the
product of the labor saving devices is
greater than when employment was
made By hand. This Is true Of printing,

all trades or occupation. but there il

BRANDYWlNE FISHERMEN.
Many Congresate at the Rocks Nightly and
Discuss Fishing Matters.

Discuss Fishing Matters.
Many people interested in fishing
congregate nightly at the Rocks ON the
lirandywine cast Of LEAFS Mills. and
discuss the situation with the fishing
colony, which has now assumed good
proportions.
While Samuel Smith and Hiram Ray
mond are the leading fishermen on the
north side of the Bfaudywine and John
Martin, whose cabin Is on tho south
side of the stream at Walnut street, is
accorded that honor in his locality,
there are many lesser lights, and it is
roally interesting to visit the colony in
tho evening and watch the men putting
their nets in shape and listen 10 tho
varied conversation.
When reporter stopped short time
at the Rocks (for that is the name by
which the locality has long boon knownl
recently, about 20 persons wern
found congregatsd near two large nets,
which the owners were taking from the
racks and preparing to place aboard
their boats for IN carly start this morn
ing. Several men werc husily engaged
on the nets. and the remainder OF the
group was discussing fishing matters
generally.
The Brsndywne fishermen, unlike
many who go from this city, make their
headquarters at the Rocks instead Of
going out early in tho season and liy-
ing in cabins. rhoy 60 out to tho fish
ing grounds early in the morning and
return in the afternoon and evening.
They prefer TO work in this manner In
order to he at home every night, and
uVAYau itg r.. a 4,
threo- row to the Delaware river.
Thcy have everything convcnient ut tho
Rocks, and there all preparations is
made.
John Martin is, however, an excep-
tlon. lie takes his cabin out to the
river and does not return as frequently
as his fellow fishermen ON the north
side. He is considered one of the most
successful fishermen in Wilmington.
Tho locality referred to is a historical
nlace,and Tor years it has been tho head.
quarters of fishermen. An old resident
informed the reporter that as far back
AZ he could remember authorities on
fishing could DO found at the Rocks.
Old Capt. Barker, who was killed in
tho Richardson stave mill about 80
years ago, was one of the most enthusi-
astic persons ever engaged in the bust
ness, and many years ago he was the
central figure in the colony which then
made its headquarters there. During
his time there were sometimes as
many as 30 persons engaged in fish
ing who landed their catches on the
Rocks, but after his death some of the
mon apparently lost interest or sought
new fields and the number decreased
considerably, and for several years it
was very small. But this year the bust
ness has taken on renewed vigor, and
q great deal of interest is manifested
among the men who congregate about
tho Rocks.
A more Intelligent lot of fishermen
could scarcely be found than those
along tho Brandywine, and they arc not
only prepared to discuss subjects pur-
tanning to their business, but are also
we'll versed in other matters. In fact
the place is sort of bureau of general
information, and is quite resort in
the evenings.

Lecture by the Rev. w. l.. $. Murray

Aecture DY the NeN. w. L.. y. Murray Mt
Goldey College,.
The Rev. W. l.. S. Murray, D. D.,
pastor OF st. Paul's NJ. E. Church,
delivered nn interesting lecture at
Gulday's Commercial and Shorthand
College on Thursday His subject
was Commercial Rays. " "A synupsis
OF his address follows.
The argus eyed press has filed tho
world with astonishment by publishing
what quiet German hat discovered
IN his experiments with light. Light
is the child Of force, aud like its father
is full of power. We have known for a
long time that it lifts day by day mil
lions of tons of water from the seas
and pours them out upon tho earth
that it drives the worlds machinery,
and blesses all departments of life.
ltut we rover dreamed OF Y rays or any
thing approaching them in their won :
derful power TO penetrate anu permeate
opaque substances. We had no thought
that light would penetrate flesh, wood,
paper, metals and almost all kinds of
substances and SO pass through them
as to light up tlorescent screen, pho
tographing bones and whatever of for
elgn substance may be imhedCled
therein. II there is fractured bone,
or incisted bullet, or broken needle
these are shown with such exactness
that surgeons are greatly aided in their
removal. The rays will pass through
two packs of cards, a thousand pages
of a book, blocks of wood, or metals,
neither ink nor other seeming him
brances obstructing. So commercial

peoples from poverty TO wealth, from
misery to comfort from isolation TO
near proximity, to bring whole conti-
nents noxt door neighbors and inform
the world every morning what is going
on in the world.
1t is said that Edison Is hoping to
photograph the human brain. II he
succeeds no one can tell what blessings
may flow from Il. 1t may bo used to
tell when to begin school and when to
stop. What atudies to pursue and
what to omit. 1t may aid in discover
ing the diseases Of the brain, especially
all brain pressure, and it may enable
the surgeon to remove the same and 70
lieve the sufferer. Brain illumination.
Brain revelation. That is what We do
sire the commercial rays of Goldcy's
College to do, viz: TO so illuminate,
penetrate and permeate the brain of all
within her walla that the greatest bril-
iiancy, freedom and strength may be
impaired.
Whether the X rays will penetrate
the heart or not, we cannot say. 1t
has been rumored that the heart SO
often pierced by Cupid's darts will be
laid bare on the floresGent screen and
lovers will be able to toll whether the
whole heart is given to one or divided
among many. We are very anxious that
the commercial rays shall SO ill and
Hood the heart as to put you thoroughly
IN love with your work. The divided
heart in study or business is bar to
success. You must count no sacrifice
too dear. no toll too hard, no applica-
tion too constant to achieve the end.

a Tandem Record.

L. II. Pyle and John II. Minnicl,
made tandem record between Centre.
vile and this city Wednesday. They
bad gone out to pace Frank Boyle in
an attempt by him at the single record,
but Boyle's front rim broke on rut al
the foot of the Centreville hill, pre-
cipitating him to tho ground Ue
rolled over and over with the force Of
the momentum he had acquired,
but escaped without broken bones,
although he was severely bruised.
After this uutimely accident Minnick
and Pyle tried for a tandem record.
They were timed by Robert Gould and

a. Won Seldeneck and II. L. Pyle at

miles was covered in II minutes and
80 seconds, an average Of mile in a
