W. H. GregOr, a native of New York,
who about two years ago purchased
the Louis Geiser farm near Dover, and
whereOn he has since resided with his
wife and daughter, died on Saturday
last, aged 66 years. About this time
last year Mr.. Gregor fell down stairs
and sustained such injuries as rendered
him physically helpless and mentally
week, and ultimately caused his death.
The Delaware City correspondent of
the Middletown Transcript on Satur-
day said: "The stack yard on the Eli
son farm on Dutch Neck road was set
on fire last week. On Monday last

The sound money Democrats of Mis-
souri, are stirring, and three hundred
of them, all men of prominence, assem-
bled in st. Louis on Saturday to pro-
test against being ''read out the party"
by the free silver coinage element.
They issued an address, calling upon
the 'voters of the party everywhere
throughout the State to make an open,
active and organized opposition to the
effort to commit the party to a free
silver policy which can only end in
disaster.

Judges sit on the bench, and why
shouldn't we sit on the Judges? If
they wriggle and show their fangs
it shows that they have been left alone
too long. Officials are our representa-
tives, not our substitutes. You can't
vote in November and retire into your
shell with any reasonable expectation
that the Government will be admins
tered according to the principles your
vote repres ented. The best civic club
is the one that inculcates the sense of

The CHESTERTOwN POSTOFFICR.-
The death of the late postmaster James
A. Shaw, has caused one of the most
interesting postoffice contests within
recent years. No sooner had the
recent incumbent passed away than the
lists began to fill, and already there
are six applicats: Joseph N. Wheat

Thomas d. France, j. H. Shippers,
James Brice, Samuel VannOrt and

The late fire has fully demonstrated
the fact that under ordinary conditions,

VISITING AN INVALID.

When you are going to see an invalid
do not fall into the error which is very
common among kind hearted people of
thinking it does not matter how you
are dressed for such a visit. What a
pleasure it is to the eyes which usually
see the same things day after day,
when friend, prettily and brightly
dressed, comes into the room.
1t is like a ray of Sunshine-a breath
of fresh air. and makes one feel that,
after ALL the world is not bounded by
ones sick room. 1t will often brighten
up a whole day Anything, however
trivial, which draws an invalid
thoughts from herself and her ailments
is bound to do her some good, both
mentally and physically.
Therefore make yourself look as nice
as possible; put on your prettiest
clothes, and If you can take a few
flowers. or lend your friend a new book
so much the better. Don't think, even
if She can afford to buy all the books
she wants, and has a greenhouse of
her own, that she will not value these
little attentions. It is marvellous how
an invalid appreciates anything which
has come from the outer world, even
if no better-or not as good-as things
of the same kind which she already
possesses.
Whatever distracts an invalid
thoughts is most welcome and benefi-
cial, and visits from friends who can
bring this about are eagerly looked
forward to.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-05-12
A GRATIFYING SURPLUS.

1t appears by the last census that there
are fifty thousand more women than men
in the state of New York. Thoughtless
or inaccurate persons might say that New
York had fifty thousand women to spare,
but neither of these modes at all expresses
the condition of the state. Possibly the
state has some super1ous women whom
she can spare, but that does not appear
in the statement of the census, nor does
it follow naturally or by compulsion upon
the fact that she has fifty thousand more
women than men: Years ago, when New
York was one of the "Middles States
we who live in it were wont to read with
something like CONSERVATION of the dis
parity in numbers between men and wo-
men in Massachusetts. We felt called
upon to bewail the lot of the thousands OF
maids in that commonwealth, for whom In
the penuriousness of nature no yoke-fel-
lows had been provided. We were sorry
for so many women necessarily unhus-
banded. We wondered who would sup
port them, and rather pitied the MaS5a-
chuSetts men-what there were of them
Tor having so considerable a burden on
their shoulders. Are any such sentiments
entertained today about the fifty thou
sand unmarried women in New York? Is
any one sorry for New York because of
this discrepancy? Perhaps so. There are
always people who laugh in the wrong
place, and mischance their lamentations
with the same obtuseness. But certainly
nobody ought to feel sorry for New York,
and no truly sensible people do feel SO.
Fifty thousand extra men in the state
might be fifty thousand men too many,
and people might fidget with some reason
over such preponderance of males.
States wherein there are many extra men
are not very comfortable to live in; every
one knows that. But a state which sees
all its men provided for and las fifty thou
sand women left over is felt nowadays to
be in a condition of comfort as to the
present and of hopefulness as to the fu-
ture. An accumulation of women is re-
garded with conplacency, as an accuinu-
lation of capital might be. and confidence
is felt that neither one will be allowed to
rest idle.
Single women, especially those who are
in some measure confirmed in their sirgu-
larity, have come to be so very handy as
to seem practically indispensable to COM
fort or progress. In all walks of life, as
housemaids, shop girls. typewriters, cash.
iers, trained nurses, school teachers or
reformers, they are a luxury and bless
ing. They have a peculiar value in being
the freest class of adults that exists in
America They do not earn as much
money as their fellow men, but as COM
pensation they enjoy increased freedom

nication from the governor giving

leased on parole, the parents or guar
dams must agree to support him and
send in a monthly statement reporting
him to the board.
