Cecilton Council. Jr. o. U. A. NJ, held Il
public meeting on the lawn of Mr.. John
Morris in Cecilton. on Thursday evening
August 9th. which was great success in
every respect. 1t was estimated that about
five hundred persons were present. II large
number coming from Mddletown and Chesa
peake City. Music was furnished by the
Middetown and Chesapeake bands. Rev. r.
Irving Watkins, of Ceciton, was chairman of
the occasion. Addresses We're made by Rsvs.
|. l.. Wood. of Middetown; H. A. G. Wester-
field, of Chesapeake City, and Elmer Jones,
of Cecilton.
An interesting feature of the meeting was
"a contest for gold medal for elocution. The
contestants were Miss Allen, of Chesapeake
City; Miss Nellie Mcgee, Miss Leila Mccoy
and Mrs. Edna Smith of Cecilton. The
judges were Rev. 1. l.. wood, and Messrs.
Hays and Morris, of Wilmington, Del.
After n lengthy CONSULTATION they reported
to the audience that in their judgement Miss
Mccoy and Miss Mcgee were equally deserv-
ing of the medal and that while they had de-
cided to present the one already in hand to
Miss Mccoy, they also awarded to Miss Mcgee
one of equal worth, to be presented at an
early date. This decision being unsatisfac-
tory to Miss Mccoy, she challenged Miss Me-
gee to second contest. Miss Mcgee ac-
cepted the challenge but the result was the
same.
At the close Of the public services, cake and
lemonade were served to all present by the
ladies query What would we do without
the ladies?) and good social time was had.
All went to their homes feeling that they had
spent delightful evening.

FACTS FOR THE NEW DEMOC-
RACY.

In 1916, the Democratic (Tilden)
National Convention rejected proposition
'to restore the double standard of gold and
silver upon true adjustment of their
relative values, and insisted upon the
highest standard-upon "sound money"
Four years ago the committee on Resolu-
tions of the Democratic National Conven-
ton, rejected a free coinage plank, and
refused even to hear minority report in
its favor The platform adopted was in
deed bimetallic, favored the use of both
gold and silver and the coinage of both,
but declared that 'the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal
intrinsic value and exchangeable, or be
adjusted through international agreement,
or by such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of the
two metals and the equal power Of every
dollar at all times in the markets and in
the payment of debt"
In despite of the above facts, and Of the

which is particularly palatable

light stimulant, Rainier beer
is of such merit that its use is

Some Libel suits Pending ut san
francisco.
In a recent issue some particu-
lars were given of a libel suit
against President Hudelson of
the American Protective Associa-
ton, brought by persons whom
he had charged with corrupt
transactions in the name of the
order. A late San Francisco
paper tells of warrant having
been issued for the arrest of
Father Peter G. Yorke, editor of
the Monitor, on the charge of
criminal libel.
The libel complained of was
published in the Monitor of
October II. 1t was in the shape
of an article that reads as follows:
Spicy minutes of Council No.
l. The records of the doings of
Council No. l is becoming awful
ly spicy. We ask our readers to
persue this weeks installment
very carefully, as it tells the tale
of the Sacramento convention.
Old Thistleton of the defunct
jolly Giant told the members
how he was an A. p. A. before
there were any A. p. AS and
how Rome's red hand finally
landed him in San Quentin"
The complaint continues that
Father Yorke, in making this
statement about the complaining
witness, wilfully and maliciously
libeled him, as it is false and
defamatory.
Judge Campbell fixed Father
Yorke's bonds in the sum of
$1,000, and the warrant was
handed to a policeman to serve
upon him.
AS soon as it was known that
there was warrant out for the
arrest of Father Yorke there WAS
the greatest excitement in the City
Hall, and large number of PEG
pie called at Judge Campbell's
chambers to learn the particulars.
Oakland, Cal, Dec. 9.-The
Rev. Father Yorke, in his lecture
at Oakland last night, referred to
the suit as follows:
81 have just escaped from San
Francisco, where, l am told, there
is warrant out for my arrest on
a charge of having spoken dis.

long been a stencil in the nostrils

And in our age orthodox denominations

those who are telling the truth about

The gospel of Christ is perfect, abso-
lutte, infallible, inspired. 1t is sufficient
for all our spiritual, moral and social
needs. 1t contains all the precepts Of
religion. Since Christ's time no moral
truth has been discovered, and no re-
ligious principle has been revealed.
While the laws of Moses are interesting
as history Of dead creeds, and while the
religions of non-Christian peoples are

ONE.LEGdED CHlNAMAN
All Yen Struck by Train on Alameda Stree
and Mangled

AS the inbound Southern Pacific train
from Santa Monica was coming up Ala
media street at o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, when back of the electric power
house. 1t struck and badly injured q
chinese vegetable peddler named All
Yen. Yen was driving along the street
IN his rig when the train approached.
His horse became frightened at the en-
gine and backed the wagon on the track
where it was struck.
Yen was thrown out under the train,
the wheels Of which passed over his left
leg just above the knee, nearly severing
the member. When the train was stop
ped and he was picked up the leg
merely hung by shred. The patrol
wagon, in response to a telephone mes
sage, conveyed him to the receiving hos
pital where DIR. Bryant amputated the
limb with neatness and dispatch. He
recovered from the shock nicely and is
doing as well as can be expected. If
able to be moved he will be taken to the
county hospital today. The rig, which
was badly smashed, was taken care of
at nearby stable.
What will become of Yen, now that he
is a cripple, Is hard to say. 1t is very
seldom, If at all, that one sees China
man who has lost limb and it is darkly
hinted that such unfortunates live but
a short time, their countrymen making
some unknown disposal of them. In
the light Of this, Yen's future career
will be watched with interest.

"Cleveland's policy will be indorsed,

fikely to be some friction over this owing
to the intense feeling on the financial

the fact that the national convention
will be beyond any doubt overwhelm-

Neither the silver nor the gold men OF

doctor who brought him to the hospital.
The forefinger was badly lacerated, but
could be saved, SO the job was quickly
done, Quinn's hand bandaged and he
