THE three resident pastors OF Mid
dletown unite in an appeal to be
found in this issue Of the TRANSCRIPT
Oh behalf of the AfmeHiaHs, the Chris
tians who are suffering everything
even death at the hands of the Turks
because of their religion. The story on
the first page tells the tale as it has
been repeated over and over again only
more cruel If possible. The contrib
ution box" in the post office appeals to,
all. The story of the old German
who stood listening to the words of
sympathy from neighbors for the man
whose home and "his alp lay in ashes
before him, is applicable here in the
practicability of his sympathy when he
said, 81 pities him ten dollars; how
much you pities him." Sympathy of
the heart is always good and profitable
but there is much sympathy of the
head. mere words, that counts for
naught in the eyes Of men and less in
the eyes of God.

oF COUNTY DIVISION


Last week the { TRANSCRIPT plesen-
ted the idea Of the proposed division of
New Castle county from a population
standpoint. We gave the population
Of the State and Of the several counties
for every decade since 1890, and
grouped the eight hundreds below
Wilmington as given by the cencus Of
1890, showing population of 25,61S.
The two hundreds of Brandywiue and
Christiana had 1918 and Whining
ton 81 ,431 by the last census. This
gave to New Castle county 97,2S2
while Kent Co. had 32,664 and Sussex
county 3S,647, total for the State 1885,
493. There is need for readjustment
Of representation in the General As
sembly which is now equal in all the
counties, three Senators and seven
Representatives each, but better way
than the division of New Castle county
should be found.
The TRANSCRIPT Is indebted to

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the Winter season, so many varied attract
ions as the State of Florida. Besides its de-
lightful climate, which to one escaping
from the cold and unhealthful changes of
the North seems al most ethereal, it is pre-
eminentlY land of sport and pleasure
Along its eleven hundred miles of salt
water coast and its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish Of almost every con-
ceivable variety, from the migratory tribes
common to Northern waters to the tarpon,
pompano, and others of a more tropical
character. Nowhere in all our broad land
can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panth-
ers, and wild cats roam at large through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abund-
ance throughout the State. The more novel
sport of alligator and manatee hunting
may also be INDUCED in by the more ad-
venturous tourist.
With Its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its bathing, its
fishing and hunting, and its extensive for
ests, Florida presents unrivaled attractions
for the Valetudinarian, the lover of nature,
the sportsman, and the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally conducted tours during the season
of 1897, leaving by special train January
26, February 8 and %, and March g. The
first three tours will admit of a sojourn of
two weeks in this delightful land; tickets
for the fourth tour will be valid to return
until May 81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from
New York, $500 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other points.

nation, apply to ticket agents, special
booking offices, or address Geo. w. Boyd,

Street Station, Philadelphia.
