warrants issued for several keepers OF Gam
brosia soloons.' charging them as violators

fermented liquors. The serving Of the war
rants by the officials fell like a thuuderbot
among the alleged violators and those of
them who had regarded tho law as farce
began to look upon the statute book as thing
of the present and the enforcement of law as
stern reality.
As soon as Chief of Police Biddle assisted
by Sheriff Conoly started in upon serving the
warrants and making arrests the news spread
all along the line and several of the wanted
"ambrosia' sellers made off for safer quar-
ters

THE COMING ELECTION.
Interest Increasing in Elktol Over the
Municipal Election Next Week.

Who are out for commissioners? Is now
becoming more and more frequently asked
question inasmuch as the annual municipal
election will be held on Monday, April II,
when mayor and two town commissioners
will be chosen, TO serve two years from Nav
|. At that time the terms of Mayor George
B. kerfoot, and Commissioners, Samuel II.
King and Herman Jeilers will have expired.
1t is most likely that the meeting of citi-
zcns in Council Hall, on Monday night next
to make nominations will be largely attended
and full of interest, as the occasion is one of
no little Importance concerning the welfare
of the town.
In view Of the fact that the Health and
Sanitary condition of Elkton has been much
mooted question OF late, it is thought that
possibly an issue will be raised in this matter
and that candidates placed in the field viii
come out on platforms full Of Sanitary and
health planks-or as avowed champions of
the reform, or Of that improvement
Citizens can be heard to say on every hand,
we ought to have better streets, and better
drainage, and which is very true another re-
mark-if we can afford it.
But the prevailing opinion in Elkton-un-
less a great and sudden change has taken
place recently is. that it is better not to
bond the town-which even those OF this
opinion who desire town Improvement con-
cede is the only way OF securing modern and
lasting street and drainage improvements.
That this question will be raised Mt Mon
day nights meeting is not likey-but it is
probable that certain points of Sanitation will
be brought up.

CONFERENCE ENDED.

County the Coming Year.


The adjournment of the thirtieth annual
session Of the Wilmington NJ L. Conference
at Iewes. Delaware, was made at noon on
Monday. The conference next year will con-
vene in Cambridge. The naming of Rev.
Robert Watt. of Laurel, as presiding elder
OF this district was more or less of surprise
as he had not been named by the prophets as
a likely man, but his appointment was re-
ceived with approval. The retiring Presiding
Elder, Rev. l.. L. Barrett, goes to Milford,
carrying with him the best wishes OF this
district which he has 80 faithfully served.
With but several exceptions the same min
listers were appointed to return to the Cecil
county churches in answer to the calls from

One of the last pieces OF legislation by. the
conference was the adoption Of resolution
on Sabbath observance. The resolution was
as follows: "The moral, physical and intel
lertua welfare Of the nation, as well as the
individual. hinges upon the right observance
OF the fourth commandment As goes the
Sabbath, 50 goes the nation. The invasion
of this sacred institution by our government
mailing system, our railroads, steamboats,
camp-mectings livery stables, ice meat and
milk vendors, and such like can but be frau.ht
with gravest perils and II speedy reform is
| imperative. We would therefore urge a
return to the Old Testament standard OF
Sahbath-keeping, which is equally binding
under the New Testament dispensation, for
Jesus himself said Il am not come to
destroy the law, but to fulfil it," In this Old
Testament standard we Hnd
"First, That all secular labor must be sus-
pended on the holy Sabbath, by the parent,
the child, the servant, and the beast, save
works of necessity, mercy and religion
Second, That all Sunday cooking is pro-
hibited, for in Exodus xvi, 80, 33; we read.
Bake that which ye will bake to-day, and
seethe that which 80 will seethe.'
"Thrd, That in Lew 10, 1896 we find the
preparation Of fuel on the Lords Day-a
custom too prevalent among the protesting
Chrstans-is clearly forbidden. The saw
and the axe must be silent on this sacred
day.
"Fourth, That in Nehemiah x. 81, all
traficing on the Sabbath positively is pro-
hibited; and this applies to-day, to the Sun
day excursion, the Sunday mailing delivery,
the delivery of meats, milk or ice or the use
of the bicycle for pleasure or the Sunday
trafllcing at camp-meetngs. We heartily
recommend the distribution Of tracts on Sun
day Bicycling written by the late DR.. Mast
Broadbeck."

Late Jacob Tome.

At the session of the Wilmington Nj. E.
Conference at Lewes, Del, on Monday, the
following memorial to the late Jacob Tome
Vas adopted:
"Having learned with deep regret OF the
death of Jacob Tome, of Port Deposit, Nd,
we desire herewith to record our apprecia->
tion Of his interest in the Methodist Church,
as evidenced by the generous use Of his
money for her enterprises. The Jacob Tome
Scientific Building, at Dickinson College, and
the Tome Memorial Church, at Port Deposit,
are standing monuments OF his generosity.
The provision in his will forever securing an
annuity Of 81 500 to the church which he had
built makes it possible for our people in
Port Deposit to maintain that ediflce in a
manner becoming the dignity of our denomi-
nation.
ave desire to commend his example to
other men of wealth who may desire to leave
behind them an ever-growing influence for
good We also desire to express the hope
that the Tome Institute, SO munifcently en-
dowed, may be so conducted as to realize tc,
the fullest extent the purpose of the founder.
We desire also to extend our sincere SYM
pathy to Mrs. Tome, and pray that for the
additional burdens which now come to her
she may have the support of Divine strength
and the guidance of Divine wisdom. Re-
solved, That copy of the minutes be sent
to Mrs. Tome.

Just What He Wanted.

One of the first men to reach San
Francisco with a hoard of Klondike
gold was an Irishman named Finne-
gan, who had been very poor before
he struck it rich, and who, consequent
ly, was unfamiliar with many ordinary
usages of a life of luxury.
"Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, airily, as he took a
seat in one of the finest restaurants in
Frisco.
The oysters We're soon set before
him, and Finnegan, looking about him
for something to put on them, and
hardly knowing what the something
should be, spied bottle of tabasco and
proceeded to season the bivalves, not
wisely, but too well.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork he
thrust it into his mouth, then leaped
to his feet with a terrific roar of pain,
and began dancing about and yelling
like madman.
See here." cried the proprietor, rush.
ing to the table, keep still, or I'll put
you out!'
"P-p-put me out, is it? Oi wish yez
would put me OUT" yelled Finnegan.
