EASTON DISTRICT.

DIR. w. f. COrkran reported that the
81 charges on the Easton district have
been under the pastoral supervision of
"a conference members and three sup
plies. Every charge has taken a step
forward. One pastor, the Rev. New
ton McQuay, died during the year.
The financial conditions have been
slightly relieved. The district has not
taken a long leap forward i'll its mater
ial interest, but has made creditable
advances at every point. With DR..
Corkran, it has been year of plan
ming and systematiZing, rather than
of execution, and he believes that ''the
nets are ready to cast upon the right
side of the ship" While no great
enterprise in building and improving
church property has been launched,
several enterprises are crystalizing,
and in more than a score of cases i'm
prOvements have been made.
The Clayton church has been enlar-
ged. The Townsend church has been
improved at a cost of $3.50. Smyrna
has paid an Indebtedness of $3.50, and
Odessa has paid one amounting to $1GO.
Efforts are being made to build church
at Blackbird.
With references to the benevolences,
the year has been one of activity and
success. Advances have been made on
each of the seven general collections,
as well as in those which are local. For
pastoral support, Clayton reports an
increase of 800; Smyrna, an increase
of $50, while Odessa, which had de-
cided to reduce the pastors salary
from 500 to $500, contributed 5000.
The Epworth League consists of 81
senior and 16 junior chapters, with a
memberships of $50.
Smyrna Circuit, Odessa, Middletown,
and Cheswold have each had from 20
to so conversions.
In the Delaware part of the district
effort is being made to organize a move
ment looking to secure local op-
ton under the provisisions of the new
Constitution.

RE-ESrABLISHING THE CURFEw BELL.
Under Consideration by Our Kiug's Daugh-
ters.

During the past winter several of the
towns of this peninsula have talked of
or passed curfew laws AT or o'clock
every night, the curfew bell is rung
and every child of a certain age is
compelled to be off the streets. If
caught on the street, he is arrested and
parents or child have to pay the pen
atty. Most of all the bad habits of
town children are learned in the streets
and at night Not only are they in
jured morally but physically. The
night air is injurious to their health.
Most of the cigarette smokers learned
to use the weed when they were ON
the streets at nights, when no parental
eye was on them. Nearly every
drunkard in our land commenced to
use intoxicants when in company with
some of his wild companions at night.
The devil does most of his work during
the night and most of the crimes are
committed by persons that were per-
mitted to run at large during their
childhood days, when they should
have been around their own fireside.
Parents are responsible, in large de-
gree, for this, as it is their duty to
train their children in the way they
should live. A pleasant home could
and should be provided by every par
ent in this community. Rule by kind
ness, not by force and you will have
considerable more influence with your
children after they get older. This
question of a curfew bell should be
carefully considered by every parent
in this community, and we would be
pleased to hear and give to our readers
the opinion of some parents of this
town on this important question.

DOVER DISTRICT.

DIR. r. H. Adams elder of the
Dover district, whose character was
passed, said there was an encouraging
growth in all epartmentments. There
were no deaths of pastors, although
several are ill. During the year two
changes were made, J. w. Talley, of
Zoar, and J. E. Hastings of Dover,
having been released to attend Drew
Seminary. Camp meetings were held
in six places, and a movement to save
Rehobeth from the saloon power had
been started. The Epworth League
has grown, there being forty senior
and sixteen junior leagues, with a
membership of $500, There were 400
conversions, Bridgeville leading with
12O, beside paying $72O debt. Green
wood had seventy-One conversions, and
Redden and Cambridge were re tarded
by petty dissensions. Extensive i'm
prOvements were made to numerous
charges; and nearly all the saleries are
fully paid
''And now, brethern," concluded
DIR. Adams, his throat choked with
emotion, and he bursting into tears,
''I was placed six years ago upon
Dover district, which at that time was
in a state of serious discussion. Since
the Civil war no presiding elder of this
conference has confronted conditions
requiring more forbearance, patience
and wisdom. L was sent as messen-
ger of peace to tranquilize and soOthe
asperities, to arbitrate grave disputes,
to calm the rash, and to restore conf
dence. 1t has taken time to accom-
plish the task, but by the grace of God
and the cooperation of the brethren,
it has been done, and we are now in a
state of blessed Christian fraternity. ="
Hearty applause created the touching
report.

There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
