A PLEASING SONG SERVICE.
Presbyterian Church Has a Large
Evening Meeting.

The Presbyterian church was crowd
ed last night at the song service. The
Lutherans had no evening service and
joined with the Presbyterians. The
choir had sixteen members and the
singing was excellent. DR.. M. H.
Hewett took his old place as leader
and it seemed quite like former days.
Solos by DR.. Hewett, Mrs. Hewett and
Miss Molnerney and a duet by DR..
and Mrs. Hewett were special features
of the musical program. Rev. DR..
Haithcox and the pastor, Rev. DR..
Blayney, made short addresses and
the service throughout was most
enjoyable one.

MISS BINGHAM DEAD.
One Of functions Popular Young

Miss Fannie Bingham, cousin ofMr,
and Mrs. A. J. Bingham Of this city
and who has made many friends here
during visits in the city, died at her
home in junction City Sunday. The
Union'says of her decease:
"Thesdeath Miss,Bingham was ex-
ceedingly sudden and one of the sad
dest. On Friday she was thought to
be quite little better. The temper
ature had abated to safe point and
it was hoped that the worst had passed.
Saturday forenoon the physician was
called. She had had one extremely
severe hemorrhage and they continued
at dangerously frequent intervals un-
til death came. The doctor never
left the bedside until she died, and
everything possible to be done was
administered. The hemorrhages
came from the nose, stomach and
bowels. As is frequently the case in
typhoid fever, indications pointed to
excessive perforation Of the bowels.
Miss Bingham has not been in good
health for some weeks. At the He'd
ley lecture she was taken rather i'll,
having fainting sensation. She de-
scribed her feeling at the time as hav-
ing felt something internally snap.
The fever had progressed a week when
the physician had been called, and
assumed the most violent form of ty-
phoid fever. For week no hopes Of
recovery were entertained, but there
was much in the nature of encourage
ment during the past week.
Funeral services were held this
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Bing-
ham, Mrs. j. B. Case and Miss Grace
Peters of this city were in attendance

PREACHED TO VETERANS.
Old Soldiers Have q Sermon at Luth-
eran Church.

It is the custom OF Rev. DR.. Hath
cox, pastor of Trinity Lutheran
church, to preach once or twice year
on some phase Of Christian citizenship
Yesterday he spoke on American
Patriotism" and Abilene Post, G. A.
R., which had been invited, attended
in body. The congregation was
very large and all listened with much
interest to the able sermon. The fact
that DR.. Haithcox was an officer in
the army Of the Confederacy made his
earnest words advocating high plane
Of patriotism the more impressive.
He took Heb. 10 1-16 for his text
"But now they desire better coun-
try, that is an heavenly" He stated,
first, the Christians point of view in
these words; secondly, the Christian
PATRIOTS point of view, and then sug-
gested how to make our country bet
ter, saying that we ought to foster
American patriotism by subordinat-
ing sectional and partisan ideas, and
protect America from the sneer Of
Europe and against lower civiliza-
ton and false ideas of the cause of
wealth and Of a true education, re-
memberihg that we are a government
not Of a class but of the people. We
should do all this because it is the
way Of progress, the way to make
most Of America, the way to have the
favor Of the Almighty, and to enter
into the city He hath prepared for us.
Such sermons do much good and
the veterans as we'll as all who heard
it greatly enjoyed the address.

THE sympathy of State is extended
to Mrs. William S. Hilles, formerly Miss
Florence Bavsrd. The bereavement
which has befallen her and her family at
the time of her marriage is an unusual
one, and strength Of personal character
is required to Withstand the shock.
Mrs. Hilles' first loes was her aunt,
Mrs. Levi C. Bird. Her father, the late
Ambassador next passed away. His i'll
ness had eccasioned a postponement Of
the marriage, which took place immedi-
ately after Mr.. Bayard's death. Now
the death of Miss Annie Francis Bayard,
sister OF Mrs. Hilles, coming as it does SO
shortly after the marriage Of Mr.. and
Mrs. William S. Hilles, which was pre-
ceded few days only by the death Of
Thomas F. Bayard, is severe bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Hilles has the sympathetic con-
sideration, in the period of her deep sor-
row, ,oi all those who cherish the memory
of the beloved Bayard.

SAMUEL BANCROFT has added to his al.
ready long list of vaporings in Eue,y
Evening, a statement regarding the negro
voters of this State. OF Mr.. Bancroft's
latest production the Morning News says:
Now the Democratic paper in this
city which has had a sudden attack OF
"negrophobia" puts in q plea for a
"white mans party" although not in
those exact words. 1t has had nervous
chill over the possibilities Of the "igno.
rant and solidly Republican vote'' man
aging public affairs. = \ s There is not
even the shadow Of fear that the 'igno-
rant colored vote' OF this State will ever
dominate. They could not, if they
would. and it is worse than silly for re-
putable newspaper to roar against one
class OF Ignorant voters, knowing full
we'll that the Democratic party in Della
ware has always secured its maiorities
through the votes and trickery of the
vicious and ignorant whites. Ignorance
is not confined to those who have dark
skins. There are others.
The Daily Republican in commenting
on Erery Euening's new complaint, says:
1.-THE Erery Evening first had bad
case of Levy Courtphobia, now it is
negrophobia and it has got it bad"
Erery Eveaing and its mutterings are
absolutely irresponsible. 1t displays
total ignorance. These are the verdicts
rendered by the two papers in the arti-
cles quoted above.
1t has spoken against the ignorant
voter, but it dscriAlinates between the
different classes Of ignorant voters. How
ridiculously absurd. Such an infectious
disease as now holds Erevy Eevning is
similar in character to malady which
had Bancroft and his paper vic.
tins when they brought charges
against the members of the New
Castle County Levy Court. 1t app ears
10 be dangerous, but proves to be fake
"a lie as it were--and likely to do no
one harm but Bancroft and Every Eypn-
ing.
Get hea tn certificate in your first
case, Mr.. Bancroft, before you rush, in
your irresponsible condition, into other
atnospl'eres.
