GROW OLD GRACEFULLY

HOW YOU MAY DO so AND CON
TINUE TO BE A JOY TO YOUR
FRIENDS
Young ladies may be beautiful. but Moth
ing is more attractive IN this world than
"a lovely old lady, with her white hair. her
rosy faces wrinklcd it may be- but with
eyes beaming with kindness even through
her spectacles. But what can be sadder
than a sickly old lady who suffers and
feels that she is a burden to those around
her and whose JOY in life has departed
Is a not sOrrOWful?
But there is really no need for elderly
ladies TO be weak or sicily. They can
build up their health and keep IL after IL
is once secured If they will only adopt the
right means. Many aged people have dis
covered a way to renew their strength
and vitality when they feel weak and
worn out and others may profit by their
experience. Here is a recent opinion on
this important subject;
Mr.. Walter T. Chapman 29 Hanover
street. Baltimore, writes: My grand
mother. who is past 80 years of age. has
been using Duffys pure malt whiskey FOL
about three years. and Il has acted al
most like charm. 1t has always given
her an appetite and prevented any dis
order of the stomach She could not dc
without II.
In the above and thousands Of other
cases, Duffy's pure malt whiskey has
women who lacked health and strength
This is because 1t is wonderful tonic
and nerve food. Therefore, be sure and
get Dumy's pure malt. no matter how
much you may be urged to try something
cheaper.

GENERAL KENNEY'S SUCCESS SURE.
FINAL ACTION OF COMMITTEE ON
PRIVILEGES-DUPONT DROPPED
AND ADDICKS IGNORED.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-The Della
ware senatorial puzzle has been solv-
ed. and General Kenney, the silver
Democrat, will in all probability be
sworn in to-day or later in the week as
a member of the United States Senate.
This conclusion was reached yesterday
by the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Senator Hoar presided
and the other members present were
Senators Gray, Burrows, Pritchard
Turpie and Palmer The absentees were
Chairman Mitchell, who is out in Ore
gon fighting for a reelection, and SEN
ators Chandler and Pugh.
Ex-Congressman Ben Butterworth,
Of Ohio. appeared in behalf Of j. e. Ad-
dicks, and made vigorous plea in sup
port of his claim to the vacant seat.
He dwelt upon Democratic frauds all
over the State of Delaware, particu-
larly in Kent county, and charged that
the Democratic election officers had
violated the laws and the Constitution
Of Delaware, had thrown out, without
any Just right to do so, legally depos-
tied Republican ballots, and had de-
clined to seat properly elected Repubh
can members of the Legislature. He
justified the action of the Addicks men
in organizing a trump" Legislature, de-
claring that they were not bound to
quietly submit to the gross frauds prac-
ticed on them, and the people of the
state by the Democrats.
No votes were taken on any of the
three cases, but the agreements in all
of them were reached verbally. Senator
Gray announced that he hoped to pre-
sent the credentials of Gneral Kenney
to the Senate tomorrow, but that this
ceremony might be delayed until day
or two later in the week. When he
does so the Republicans will interpose
no opposition and they will therefore
be promptly accepted and he will be
sworn in as a member of the Senate.
Senator Chandler, who is known tC
be favorable to DuPont's claim, was
not at to-days meeting, and it is mo-
known whether he agrees with his col
leagues in permitting the seating o.
| Kenney. But even if he should objec
he will not receive any support from
his own side of the chamber and h
will be powerless to prevent the ac
ceptance of Kenneys credentials.
This disposes Of the Delaware sena
torial case. Senator Chandler has
resolution pending providing for al
investigation into the political condi
tions i'm Delaware, but this cannot in
terfere with the seating of Kenney
That gentleman will already be
member when the resolution is con
sidered and even should an investiga
tion be ordered, which is eXtremel
doubtful, it will not serve to oust hin

ON MARRIAGES AND DIVORCE.
MEMORIAL FROM THE DIOCESE OF
DELAWARE PRESENTED TO THE
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Following is. the text of q memorial
from a committee appointed by the
last convention Of the Diocese of Della
ware on marriage and divorce, and
presented to the Constitutional Conven-
tion and referred to the proper COM
mittee:
To the members Of the Constitutional
Convention:
The undersigned a special commit
teee appointed at the last convention OF
the Diocese of Delaware, most respect
fully memorialize your honorable body
on the important subject of marriage
and divorce.
The resolution by reason of which
we approach you is as follows:
Resolved, That the committee be
continued in the convention to use
their influence through the delegates
elected to the Constitutional Conven-
tion, to secure there such action as will
place the matter of divorce in the juris-
/ diction of the courts of justice only.
and make the legal basis Of divorce in
this state the Scriptural condition
alone"
We feel satisfied that we need not
argue at length upon any Of the points
herein contained.
The experience Of years and the al
ready ripened public opinion of this
commonwealth are so distinctly in fa-
vor of removing the right Of granting
divorces frOm our State Legislature,
and of conining it exclusively to our
courts of justice, that we cannot but
believe that you will, with unanimity
grant our prayer. Such a course will
prevent the recurrence Of serious abuses
and scandals that have done much to
impair in many minds a proper sense
of the sanctity Of matrimony and Ia
tarnish the fair name of Delaware.
We would further pray that you
make adultery the cnly legal basis fol
divorce.
Many Christian people are opposed
to divorce on any ground. Many others
who agree that IL may in certain in
stances be allowed, will not approve o
any cause save that of adultery by
either party. This they argue, is to b'
tolerated by reason CT our blessed
I Lords declarations as recorded in thu
New Testament.
Without going into a discussion o
E the point as to whether or net His dec
! lartions may be thus construed, you
4 memorialists would urge that only thi
one plea be allowed
10 permit otnelS, IL 10 open the 400
+ TO so many speciOus and fraudulent
q and even frivolous preteXts as Z
threaten the very safety and perpetuit
of human society
Here again the sad experiences of on
own state, and of other states where
h wider latitude in such things is preva
lent goes to prove that. to secure
right view Of holy matrlmony. the ur
n ion should be considered indissolubl
1, except by death OF adultery.
~ We, therefore, plead with you that
q your decisions you will make the ne
Constitution conform TO the instru
tions under which we have venture
to address you.

CLEVELANDS PREPARING
MOVE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-There are
already signs at the White House OF
moving preparations by the president
and his family. Great boxes are being
packed and trunks gotten down from
the garnet and piled with belongings
and souvenirs of the past four years
stay in Washington. Secretary Thur
ber is busily engaged in superintend-
ing the work and expects within three
weeks to have the mansion ready for
delivery to Major Mckinley promptly
at noon on March 4.
The president and Mrs. Cleveland
will follow the usual custom Of outgo-
ing presidents and leave the city imme-
diately after returning from the Capt.
tol, their destination being Princeton,
where uphOlsterers and painters are
busily engaged in putting things in
shape for the new tenants The house
owned by Mr.. Cleveland in New York
will still be held by him, but it is
doubtful if he will be there much in the
future. IL is pretty definitely decided
now that hereafter Princeton will be
the Winter home of the president and
his family, and that Grey Gables will
be used as their Summer residence.

WECCACOE HERE TODAY.

Members of Weccacoe Fire Company
came to Dover to-day for a dual pur-
post In the first place their charter
will expire in a little while, and they
want it renewed, and in the second
place they want a chemical engine, and
have City Councils endorsement at
tached to a bill allowing them an ad-
ditional appropriation Of $4,000 for its
maintenance They are likely to get
both and knock out Phoenix, Water
Witcn and Liberty, each of which
wants a chemical engine, but none OF
which is likely to get City Councils en-
dorsement. Without it Senator Pyle
will never consent to such bill pass
ing. as he does not believe that the
General Assembly should make such
appropriations mandatory upon Coun-
oil
