As TO the Road to Clayton.

The cutting down of the hedge ON
the Clayton road fronting the Spru-
ance property has been an important
improvement to this thoroughfare, but
much more is needed to make it meet
the exigencies of travel. There is no
stretch of road below Wilmington of
equal length that has so much travel
on it, and it is due the public that it
be put and kept in frst-class condi-
tion. The bed of the railroad track is
we'll taken care of, but that is all. The
path of the foot travellers (and there
are a great many of them through
every twenty-four hours) is a part of
the way seriously encroached on by
the carriage road, while the bikers vir-
tually claim it for their own, and the
pedestrians who have the right of way,
have to step aside as the wheels brush
beside them.
Such an important thoroughfare as
this should have the best attention
and be made to serve the three modes
of travel. The railroad has big cor.
poration behind it and can always be
depended on to be kept in order. The
road otherwise wherever the author
ity lays should likewise be kept il
good order to meet the exigencies o.
travel by foot, bicycles or vehicles
AS it is, neither has a dis tinct way
The man or woman footing should b.
free from the danger of molestatio1
from a rapidly passing wheel. The
carriage way could be readily fixed Il
relieve it of deep ruts, and the bicy'
Gle, a comparatively new method ot
travel, but one it is believed that hal
come to stay, claims consideration ant
is entitled to its rights. AS it takei
agitation to get anything done, tn,
bicyclers will be entirely excusable j
they persistently urge this matter an,
secnre first-class road requiring as
will only some five minutes to cove
the space between the two towns
They might do well to secure the CO
operation of the L. A. Wan organi
zation of growing power, that has TO
its ultimate object revolution in tn
public road system.

GES. NEAL Dow, the father of Pro-
hibition, who died last week at the age
Of 90 years, was active and influential
up to his last year, though 20years past
the age when most men are active in
the public affairs of life.
He was pre-eminent in any sphere in
which he was placed-as a business
man he had few superiOrs. At the time
Of our cOuntry's peril of dismember-
ment, then aged 81, he entered the war
and engaged in the fiercest battles. He
was a statesman nofremarkable power of
OratOry and persuasion, having been
elected twice Mayor of Portland, and
at one time a member of the Maine
Legislature. He was always an able
and sympathetic supporter Of the Wing
party during its existence.
Notwithstanding that he was often
an ardent advocate of an unpopular
cause, his popularity, instead of dimin-
ishing, increased. He was a vigorous
anti-slayery advocate, as well as bit
ter enemy Of the liquor traffic. The
great act Of his life was the securing OF
thepassage Of the maine law" through
both houses Of his State. This was
done at time, too, when no frown was
cast upon the liquor seller, the follow
ing decision being arrived at: ''PrOhi
bitiOn is right and license is unconsti
tutiOnal. When the Maine law went
into execution this State was one of th'
poorest in the Union, and to-day she
ranks among the most prosperous
which Neal Dow Justly attributes t.
the prohibition law existing.

LAKE GENEVA.

The waters of the lake are very blue
and clear, and the verdure on the slopes
presented very pretty contrast, COM
prising as it did, quite a variety of
colors, chief amongst which, were the
two shades of green, representing the
old and new growth. Before dark we
had secured services at the hotel and
had also seen quite a lot of Geneva.
FIFTH DAY-Geneva is the largest
city in the Republic, of about eighty
thousand inhabitants and is the richest
city in Switzerland. 1t lies at the
south end of the lake, just above the
confluence of the Rhone and the Arve
The Rhone divides the town into two
parts, the old part of the city on the
left, and the new on the right. From
the beautiful quai on the left bank,
pretty view of the Alps is to be had,
with Mt. Blanc as a centerpiece. On
the highest point of the left bank is
cathedral of various styles of architec-
ture. Near this cathedral is the fam
GUS Hotel de Vile, where all the fam
Gus councillors have met to perfect the
treaties that have been made there. 1t is
quite clumsy building and is APP
preached by an inclined plane. The
city abounds III pretty villas and parks.
On the Quai du Mont Blanc rises the
large and handsome Brunswick mOnu-
ment, erected in honor of Duke Charles
of Brunswick, who bequeathed all his
property (about twenty million francs)
to the city of Geneva. Nearly in the
center of the city is the "Ecole de
HOrolOgerie" or school of watchmak-
ing. This seems to be the principal
business of the city, as nearly every
| other shop is either a jewelers. or q
watchmaker's. Visited the worshOp of
Patek, PHILIPPE ct Cic, the most famous
of watchmakers. Was most interested
in the regulating room. 1t takes about
a month to regulate, and after the
watch has been put in every cOnceiva-
BILE position, they are then put in an
oven and baked and from there to an
ice-box. The visit was very interest
ing and instructive. Later in the day
visited the largest music-box manu-
factory in Geneva, that of George Baker
& 90. In here saw the whole process
of manufacture. It is also very inter-
esting. Below the lower bridge con-
Meeting the two parts of the city are
the new water works, which supply not
only the houses of Geneva, but afford
motive power at very nominal cost, TO
all the manufactures in the city. The
entire left branch of the Rhone is
damned up for the purpose of these
works, and the river is quite deep and
swift in the right branch. In the
power house there are about fifteen
giant turbines (about sixteen feet IN
diameter) whose power is transmitted
direct to pumps, whose plungers are
about eight to ten inches in diameter.
There Is much larger power mouse
about two or three miles further down.

TIE movement of gold from Europe
TO America assumed considerable pro-
portions Friday, when new shipments
to the amount of "a, 35O, 900 was made.
OF this gold 80, $50, 900 was dispatched
from London, and 1900, 600 from
Paris. The record of gold which has
already arrived and is on the way shows
a total of IS, $50, 900. Most of the gold
sent from London was obtained from
the Bank of England. The flow OF
gold in this direction is expected to
continue uninterruptedly for some time
TO come. 1t is thought that before the
movement terminates 4O,OOO, 900 OF
$50, 900, 900 in gold will have been re-
cieved from the other side.

the day was spent in grabbing, sailing
playing games in the ballroom, and IN
other amusements. The day passed
quickly and the hour of departure came
all too soon. At4P. NJ. they started
for home all declaring that the day was
one of the most enjoyable ever spent

BROTHER DOwNHAM, of the Middle

what's the same thing editor of politi-
cal paper, and has three columns or
more at MS command in which he ex-
poets to inject politics. AS the organ
Of q party, OF in this case faction, it
is his meat and drink. The TINES
owes allegiance TO no individual or
organization, but does owe allegiance
TO the public interests Of the common

arise.
To argue a question or party cOndi-

be 10 answer questions as framed for

PYIeEaries.

The large and beautiful home of VIM.
A. FAIRIES, on Main St., was the scene
yesterday of large social gathering,
the event being the marriage of his
daughter Margaret, to Harry v. Pyle,
of Wilmington. The house had been
beautifully decorated by the members
of the B. M. S. X. and friends, with
asparagus, holly, potted plants, cos
mos, roses and palsms, the Queen
Anne's stairway being intertwined with
ivy to the third story, the recess at the
foot being bUnked with potted plants.
Promptly at one o'clock the bride, at
tired in cream faille silk with pearl and
chiffon trimmings, carrying brides
roses, leaning on the arm of her hus-
band-elect entered the parlor, preceded
by the ushers, Harvey FAIRIES, brother
of the bride, and Elwood G. Jeffries, of
Wilmington, to the beautiful strains of
Lohengrin played by Prof. G. Virgil
Gordon. A beautiful collection of rub
Der plants, ferns, begOnias and palms
banked the altar where they were met
by the officiating clergyman, Rev.
Adam Stengle, who, after the beautiful
and impressive ring ceremony, pro-
nOunced them mali and wife. After
congratulations were over the guests
were invited to the dining-room where
a bOuntiful repast was served by cater
er, Geo. M. Stevens son. The happy
couple left on the Norfolk express
