SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES.

Sunday was a delightful day in tenn
perature, the fresh southeast wind
bringing light shower by the evening
A very few went to the Camden camp
and Notwithstanding that number of
our citizens are away, the congrega-
tions at the churches were fairly good,
their places being measurably supplied
by visitors. At the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Mr.. Estlin ministered to
the usual summer audience.
At St Peter S, where the Mems Paro-
chial Union hold service only in the
morning during the absence of the rec
tor TIN rough August in the Chapel, Rev.
Mr.. Wroth, of Baltimore, who is on
a visit to his father-in-law, L. w.
Counselman, preached by invitation OF
the Union, and delighted them with a
specially able sermon.
Atthe Methodist church the Rev. Mr..
Stengle varied the evening worship by
"Song and Praise" Service. The au-
dience room was we'll seated notwith
standing the threatening weather
showing an appreciation at least of a
varied form of worship. Every mo.
ment of the hour seemed to be enjoyed
The hymns were selected to present
the different stages of experience in the
Christian life betweeen the awaken
ing and full salvation, the pastor pre-
facing each with a minute sermOne
that could but be enjoyed, while it en-
forced thought.
The leader of the choir, W. o. HOf
fecker, was away for his second Sun
day, as were several of the leading vol.
ces of the choir, and L. M. Price, sum
moned help for a service that was to b'
almost entirely of singing, in Mis-
Bessie Counselman and Messrs. Wal
ter Rich, Ernest Haynes and j. e
Hoffecker. Among the rendition
were a quartette of the male voices
above named, and trio in which Mis-
Counselman took the central place. Al
an evening service it was unique
the organ and vocal music, to sa.
notding of the sentiment that wa
meant to be inculcated, being of tn
most enjoyable kind.
At Jerman Chapel Rev. Mr.. Lay
fields sermon was prefaced by a ser
vice of singing for a half hour, il
which was a quartette, by Miss Blanch
Layfeld and q: Davis Brown, of thi
town, and Miss Annie T.. Richardson
and Boyd Cooke, of Wilmington.

AT banquet given at st. Peters
burgh by the Gear and Czarina to the
German Emperor and Empress, En-
peror William said he stood by the
Czar's side in preserving the peace of
the nations.
How beautiful ale the sentiments ex-
pressed at the meeting of the EmpOr-
ers, and how firm foundation for the
peace of nations is laid in the speeches
at imperial banquets; but nevertheless
the armies are not diminished; the or
ders for great guns and greater ships
are not countermanded, and the diplO-
matte departments do not abate a iOt
of their watchfulness and intrigue.
Actions speak louder than words, while
everybody will hope that the peaceful
utterances are sincere, nobody will be
surprised to see them shortly followed
by war. Still, it must be admitted that
just at present there is no very fOrmi-
dable war cloud on the horizon.

THERE is much interest just now, in
two scientists, whereby telegraphing
can be done without the erection Of
poles and wires. The Ledger, in
speaking of one of them says
Perhaps the most remarkable part of
Tesla's discovery of a means of tele-
graphing without wires-gr granting that
it is all that is claimed for it is the
fact that such an enormous amount of
energy can be developed by machine
so small as to be easily controlled by
one man. There is no analogy to this

gested by the inventors comparison OF

Before the war the boys in this town

older people. David S. Clark, of

these tickets which he found among

1858, thirty-nine years ago, and was
elected over the opposing Democratic

are not so now, and many have passed

THERE is good sense in what ex-Sen-
atOr Sanders, of Montana, says about
the financial situation. He is quoted
as saying that the Klondike mines,
however much they yield, will not pro-
duce prosperity merely by producing
gold.
Money is abundant enough now;
the trouble of it is that it lies stacked
up in vaults and will not come out of
its hiding place. 1t is the activity of
money, created by demand, that eau
ses so much circulation, and circulation
is hampered by distrust. If the people
who have money were sure they would
get it back again business would boom
all over the United States, regardless
of the fact that heaps of the yellow
metal were being taken out of the
frozen placers of the Yukon"
