Death Of Mrs. Staats.

Mrs. Mary A., wife of Edmund L.
Stats, died on Thursday last, aged
fifty-One years. Her illness had been
of several weeks duration, accompa-
MED with more than usual suffering of
a complication of diseases, chief of
which was pneumonia, accompanied
with heart trouble. Mrs. Stats mai
den name was DonOhO. The neigh
bOrs and those who knew her speak
unqualifyingly of her virtues, but
if these were silent the evidence was
manifest that under restricted oppor-
tunities as compared with the more ia
.vored, she had the quality to mould
and fashion the character of her chill
dren in the right direction. Her chill
dren, of which there are six, as we'll as
the husband, are sincere mourners,
the four daughters all married and
having their homes in other towns.
The funeral, Saturday morning, was
preceded by service at the house, sing
ing and an address by Rev. A. Stengle.
The latter was followed by an effective
solo by Mrs. James l.. Wolcott, of
Dover, 1.-THE City Beyond the Sea. -
The interment was in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
The following were in attendance
at the funeral from q distance: Miss
DOnOho, Baltimore; Mrs. Boggs, Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. Tulley, Mr.. and Mrs.

Ford, Philadelphia; Mr.. and Mrs.

High School Notes.

From High School Correspondent
Several members of the sehool-board
visited the school on Thursday and
Friday last.
1t is reported that some of the high
school girls are going to get bicycles.
Mr.. Gilbert Jones, our Post-grad-
uate is sick with pneumonia.
Miss Marie S. Estlin, is in Philadel-
phia, attending the funeral of her aunt.
Miss Frances Collins, visited the
high school last Friday afternoon.
There was an interesting spelling
match last Friday afternoon between
Miss Doughten's girls and Miss
Hough's boys. The girls were victor
ious but Ralph Jefferson deserves
credit for being the best speller among
the boys.
Eddie Jackson, one of the brightest
pupils in Miss Ida Lords room died
Of lockjaw at his home atSmyrna Land
ing Wednesday morning April 30, in
the 9Th year of hia age. He had been
absent from school only few days.
He was always an obedient boy at
school and his kind and gentle man
ner toward all won the love Of teacher
aud school mates. He was one of the
brightest pupils of the second grade
and we,feel his loss greatly.

Old Folks Day.

Veterans, or cold Folks Day" at the
Methodist Church Sunday met the ex-
pectations of its promoters. In fact it
seemed to be day of interest in the
morning service to all-the young no
less than the old enjoying the Occas-
ion. While number of the "shut
OUTS from regular attendance from
circumstance of age ETC., were present,
there were some who were not there,
probably because the morning until
half past nine o'clock was lowering
and threatning, when the sun broke
out. The organ and choir were ready
with good music, the pastor selecting
for his hymns those that had the fervor
of the old time services, hymns that
will never lose their force while grace
predOminates in religious worship.
Rev. Mr.. Stengle took his text from
Genises xlvii:-S-6-And PharOal
said unto Jacob how old art thou?
"And Jacob said unto Pharoah, The
days of the years of my pilgrimage are
a hundred and thirty years: few anC
evil have the days of the years of my
life been, and have not attained unto
the days of the years of the life of my
fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Besides an able elucidation of the
text including a parallel of the life O
Jacob with the pilgrimages before anC
since, which is lot of the human race
the sermon abounded in many Thoughts
historical i Incidental to time ant
place, philosophical, spiritual, incen
tiv0s of revelations-the fact remain
ing that through all the ages human
nature has been governed by the SAM
instincts and impulses. Pilgrimag
means going to O place. This ha,
been the condition of the race from tia
beginning. At the best the earthly OF
probationary stay was short, while al
were journeying to another country
There were two ways to this country
the speaker drew strong picture O
the changes and new life that will Opel
up before those who enter this plac
from the right way.

The capture of the Vermont and Hi
nOis Conventions-the one expected to
be for Reed and the other for Cullom-
by the Mckinley forces is the last
chapter of evidence necessary to con-
vince the thinking Republicans in
Washington, what they long have felt
to be true, that the sentiment of the
people throughout all the States is so
strong for McKinley's nomination
that no reasoning or dictation of poll
ticians can overcome it. Those who
Iidiculed Senator Chandler for sur
render to the Mckinley sentiment in
New Hampshire now understand that
in doing so he made the best of very
bad situation. He was utterly sur
prised when he encountered the Nc
Kinley sentiment and not being able
to defeat it, he compromised with it.
This is what Senator Proctor did in
Vermont. 1t is what Senator Petit
grew did when he went to South Da-
kota for Allison and silver, and came
away instructed to vote in the st.
Louis Convention as a delegate for
Mckinley and sound money.
The truth of the matter is that in
this remarkable canvass for the Re-
publican nomination to the Presidency
the politicians have been fooled by the
people. They who were prepared tC
exercise all the forces of political STRAIT
egy, have been simply overhelmed by
public sentiment. They have not beer
able even to fight it intelligently
Their plans have amounted to nothing
and they are standing, helpless, watch
ing the chariot roll by.

Several of our sturgeon fishermen
were home this week. They have
made no large catches so far, but ex-
pect a run of fish soon. For some
years there has been some dispute
about fishing in Blake's Channel, but
that has been settled, giving the right
to the residents of this State.
The school children are to have a
picnic here on the Both inst. There is
some talk OF raising a flag on the same
day, but that will be left to the COM
missiOners.
Mr. Pugh, proprietor of the hotel,
has purchased a very fine horse of
Mr.. John r. Carey.
The Ladies' Aid Society is going to

THE purpose of the people of Phila
delphia to have an unObstructed and
deep channel from the bay up to that
city, is a natural and worthy one pro-
vided they have it done without inter
fering with the rights of others. The
plan proposed of deepning the channel
by long dykes near the Delaware side
of the bay is being seriously objected
to by the people of New Castle County,
in which they are sympathised with by
the people of the entire state. Sena-
tor Gray has seriously interposed him
self to this project, and has summoned
ex-senator Higgins to his assistance.
Mr.. Gray does not doubt that the plan
to dyke the river from ListOn's Point
to the northern end of Reedy Island
would eventually deepen the channel at
Dan Baker shoals between Collins
Beach and Reedy Island, but he holds
that to do so would likewise close the
navigation to Blackbird, Odessa and
Port Penn, changing the streams there
to sluggish millponds and disease
breeding marshes. The people of this
State have riparian rights that must be
taken away for the benefit of Philadel-
phia, and Senator Gray insists that
Major Raymond of United States En-
gineer corps must find another way to
benefit Philadelphia without shutting
up the streams of navigable water
in lower New Castle county, and bot
tling them in by a stagnant, disease
producing marsh for ten miles along
their front. Some two miles of this
dyke it appears have been already
built before the evident object of its
effect had become apparent. The peO-
pie agree with Senator Gray that they
must resort to dredging or some OF
some other way to deepen the channel.
