About 200 former policy holders of the
defunct United States Mutual Accident As
sociation, of Wilmington, have received
notices demanding that they pay assess
ments levied by Henry Winthrop Gray, re-
ceiver, in pursuance of an order Of the
Supreme Court of New York. One man
who said he had not been member of the
concern for four years previous to the asso-
ciation's trouble is assessed $14. Wilmington
policy holders will fight the assessment in
court.
The proposition comes from Hon. B.A.
Hazel that upon the completion of the re-
pairs to the State House there shall be pro-
cured and placed in the Governors parlors
a potrait Of each Ex-Governor of the State
living as well as those who are deceased. It
is to be hoped that nothing will be left un-
done to carry out Mr.. Hazel's proposition.
The remodeled capitol of the State would
appear incomplete with out collection of
the portraits of the executives of the State.
All possible aid should be extended Mr..
Hazel and his committee in this most
worthy rk.-Seaford News.
-"The Townsend base ball club will
challenge the Laurel team to play series
of games for the championship of the
State.-The above is sample of the bosh
that has been going the round Of the Pc
ninsula press for the past two weeks since
the base ballclosed. The Laurel manage
ment tried in every conceivable way to ar
range dates with the Townsend boys dur
ing the season, but was unable to do so.
Since the above was clipped we have
received the challenge, and if the weather
permits we may play Townsend a couple
of games next week simply to show them
that, while they are fair players thay are
not in the same class as "De Champs"
The visit of Mrs. Margaret Bottome to
Middletown and her addresses in the M. e i
Church on Sabbath morning and evening

Bottome is clear reasoner, a forcible |
speaker with magnificent voice. She had |
large and attentive audiences at both SER
vices, indeed her clear enunciation and |
foreefui manner command attention. She
proclaims plain. practical gospel. Per- |
haps never before have repr resentatives of /
"a Enfa oh1t kko al.
odist Churches of the town knelt at the |
same altar pledging themselves to a renun-
citation ofself and an effort to do more for /
Christ. Such was the result of Mrs. Bot /
tones earnest exhortation on Sunday |
evening.
