aud FIny Cents Worth OF Good. for n
Dollar.
Hugo LOos. the cigar manufacturer
and tObaCconist, has displayed In his
window II large number OF shiny sill
Yer dollars, over which Is a sign that
reads thus: "Onc good silver. dollar and
fifty cents worth OF cigars or tobacco

The silver dollar which MIR. Loos
gives in exchange for every purchase OF
nifty cents worth OF goods who planks
down n dollar Of United States money
IL a Mexican dollar. which contains
more silver than the United States dol
lar contains.
Mr.. Loos can afford to do this. be-
cause, even in It's own the
purchasing power OF the Mexican dol
lar Is only fifty cents, and In this coun-
try 1t Is the same. Mexico Is on u free
| silver basis. 2
In Mexico one United States dollar
will buy as much as two Mexican dol
lars VIII buy. and IN e~XchRnEeable for
two Mexican dollars. The United
States Is on n gold basis and in this
country the silver dollar is on a parity
with the gold dollar and will buy as
much.
The Mexican government stamp says
the Mexican dollar Is a dollar. but in
that country and In other countries It
does not pass for n hundred cents, but
only at Its bullion value. The govern
mcnt stamp does not make It worth q
hundred cents.
The United States silver dollar Is
worth n hundred cents, because It is
backed by gold. II we were on a silver
basis. as is Mexico. and as Mr.. Bryan
would have US be, our silver dollars
would pass just as the Mexican dollars
do, for their bullion value and no more.
1t IL q shrewd advertising scheme

those who care TO investigate the mat
ter. Mr.. Loos stated last night that In

some Members of Epwortii NJ. II. church
Favor the Adoption OF n New Name.
In view of the fact that the late
Merritt Hulburd. s. Il. d., was such a
kind friend to Epworth Cbucrh, some
OF the members OF that congregation
have started movement having for It's
object tho changing Of the name to
Hulburd Memorial Church. A meeting
OF some OF the interested parties was
held Friday and it was about decided
that some decisive step in this
direction should be taken.
At the meeting the announcement
was also made that arrangements were
in course OF completion whereby a large
slice OF the debt on the building would
be liquidated. 1t is understood that
this was made possible through the
beneficence OF DIR. Hulburd, but as yet
nothing definite in the way OF
particulars will be given out by the
tnombers of the church who are in a
position to know.
Soon after DR.. Hulburtl came to Will
imgton he learned that Epworth
Church was in reduced circumstances,
and, without solicitation, made it one
of his principal wards, and on many
occasions cancelled other engagements
to do something for the welfare Of the
struggling congregation. Through him
quito number of Influential citizens
became interested, and it Is believed
that they will take care of the building
and assist the congregation in liquidat
ing the indebtedness. In view Of these
facts the people at Epworth Church
have the greatest regard for Dr. HUI
burd, and will ever revere his memory.

THEY TOOK THE TOWN.


Three Desperate Young Men Creafed a
Reign OF Terror In seaford, But Were
\ Finally Arrested and sent 60 Jaii.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Seaford, Nov. s. Tho election here
passed off quietly. A large vote was
polled. The votes we're not counted
until 6 Q. m.
utSmidnight two brothers named
Will and Harry Landlord started out
n take the town, as they termed IT.
Harry Is desperate character. lie
first cut man across the nose and
check and then with a shotgun went in
to the polling place and cleaned 1t out.
The brothers next visited Robert
Gordy'a store, where some men were
awaiting tho returns, and here broke a
large plata glass with a blackjack.
The aid Of the town baililf was sought,
but the officer refused to get up.
While this was going on young man
named George Marvel, who had been
released from Georgetown jail ON Fri
day, joined them and with gun each
they scattered the people wherever they
could find them, Boosting that they
would have blood before they slept
They next visited the home of Con-
stable Robinson and as he came out OF
the door ono of them dealt him heavy
blow over the eye, which drove him
back to attend to his wound.
By this time the young men OF the
town found they would be compelled tc
fake the matter in their own hands.
The brothers somehow became separated
and after a hard fight Harry Landlord
was captured and as they were taking
him to Jail his brother Will came
around the corner exclaiming: I'm
going to shoot" let 60 both barrels oil
his gun info the crowd. The latter
scattered and opened fire from behind
trees. Will Landlord ran away. Severa
persons were struck by the shot, but
there were no serious wounds. The
young men proceeded to tho jail with
their prisoner and then went to search
for the other two. whom they arrested.
All three were brought before Squire
Robinson, who committed them to
Georgetown to await the April court.

Partridge and rabbit shooting will
begin on Monday week. Partridge
shooting promises rather poor sport to
the general gunner, for while in some
sections tho supply of birds is up to
a scant average. in other sections Bob
White is extremely scarce. Rabbits are
abundant this fall, but since the local
"tresspass advertisers make no ex-
captions ii will be dangerous to follow
the animals. Tbs advertising system
was made necessary not only because oil
the frequent incursions of market gun
ners from the cities, but some of the
finer shots in the country found the
sport lucrative. Then, too, the num-
Der of colored gunners and boys had
increased to such an extent that after
the first two weeks Of the open season
the game in accessible places had been
almost totally destroyed.
