Ambassador Col. John Hay called at

evidence of Spanish officials making
Canada the base of operations and
protested against the continuance

on the fact that II would be breach of

her territory to be used for such hos

Col. Hay also recently drew the at

expectations from Great Britain of war

The Alarm of Fire Sunday.

Shortly after dark on Sunday even
ing last between $50 and 6 O'Clock.
while the wind was blowing a fearful
southeast gale, an alarm of fire was
given by the unwelcome pealing of the
bell on the Town Hall. The very
thought of fire on such blustrv night
made the citizens shudder with fear.
and they ran to their front doors in
their eagerness to find out where II
was located and in what part of the
town.
1t was rather a cold reception to the
Hose Company, but like gallant heroes
they were Fastening in for duty and
soon had the hose carriage out and
ready to hasten to the scene of action.
The alarm of fire came from the vicin
lty OF Lincoln street in the northeastern
part OF the town and was found to be
the residence of John Sliney. The
chimney of the later's residence had
caught on fire and the inmates fearing
that 1T might result in q confederation
on such stormy night gave the alarm.
1t was however put out before the Fire
Company had gotten very far with the
hose carriage, and resulted in no dam
age at all. The chimney caught from
a wood stove. There was naturally a
feeling of relief at this turn in the
state of affairs, for had a fire gotten
headway on that night it would
have taken the heroic efforts of everv
fireman, if even then it could have
been extinguished on such a windy
night.

OF Chautauqua Assembly affair
na"St'tna an parUo, it is true, but to the
thoughtful instructor, brimfull of sug-
gestlons that may be helpful through
out the year.
A noticeable feature of the institute
held in Smyrna, and this grows with
the succeeding years, is the interest
manifested by the citizens of the COM
munity. The people not only of the
town, but the surrounding country
come and fill the house to hear the day
instructors as we'll as the night enter
talnments, and it is one of the rare oc-
casions when we could wish for more
room. This is a feature, we think,
particularly pleasing to these instruct
ors who come in most cases long dis
tance to give their experience of years
to their co-laborers in Delaware, and
the interest in the part of the public is
stimulating alike to both the platform
and teacher, the audience below. While
we name elsewhere, briefly, those who
took part in the Institute and their
subjects discussed, we can only say
that our people will look forward with
interest to the visit again of the teach
ers of Kent county, the beginning of
next winter.

Monday. 1t is considered, a business

IN review of our increased condition
OF prosperity, referring briefly to the
commercial state of the country, and
showing that the volume of business
during the last twelve months was the
largest ever recorded.
1t is suggested that steps he hastened
towards the establishment of the in =
dependence of Cuba. The acquisition
OF new territory has made the con-
struction of the Nicaragua Canal i'm
perative, as means of quick inter-
oceanic communication.
The far eastern complications have
demanded the attention of this coun-
try, whose interests are being watched
with fidelity, and the message notes
with satisfaction the cordial relations
which have existed with Great Britain
since the outbreak of hostilities with
spain. The acquisition of new terri
tory has made the maintenance of a
larger army a necessity, and the Pres
ident advises increasing the standing
army to 100000 men.
He also advocates the increase of the
navy as recommended by Secretary
Long, and reviews the causes that led
TO the war with Spain. The results of
the treaty with Spain will come up for
consideration after it is ratified by our
Congress.

CHEswoLD, Dec. 5.-The death of James
S. Moore last week, at Dover, removes
from us another old landmark, so to speak,
and brings up in the minds of some in this
vicinity many incidents touching the early
history of our town. Mr.. Moore was the
owner of farm, part of which with other
property is within the town limits, also two
other small farms in this vicinity In 1856,
when the first passenger train on the Della
ware Railroad ran through to Dover he
was merchandising here in a small wav. in
connection with which he served for a time
as ticket agent, and for whom the station
and prospective town was called Morton.
Then store at Bishops Corner was a lively
competitor. When the boom which always
follows railroads began to set in at MoortOn
Mr: Moore gave way to younger and more
active business energy and directed his at
tentlon to farming. Later he removed to
Dover, there purchasing home, where he
resided up to his death.
Last Saturday, Frank, son of Nathaniel
Harvey, aged 16 years, was cunning in the
woods when accidentally he came within
range of the shot from another gunner,
neither having knowledge of the other.
The boy was much frightened by the acci-
dent and hurried to Cheswold, where he
was treated by DR.. j. r. Smith. The in
jury was slight, few of the shot being i'm

which resulted in very ugly, lacerated
wound: DIR. Stout was summoned, who
dressed the wound.
Nathan Mingus, who about two years
since bought the Elihu jefferson (h0me)
farm, near Bethel church, died there last
Sunday: He has suffered several months
from what is reported to be sunstroke,
since which time his mind has been upset
wife and two grown boys were living
with him. He has won the respect of this
community.
There is just now lively demand in
Cheswold for houses. f. S. Garrison has

for another by spring. Geo. b. Moore is

THE Pilot of Lewes, now says 1t
meant collectively when it spoke of the
papers charging $500 or more, and not
individual, when speaking of the Gov
ernOrs Proclamation, and asks "why
so ready to publish the President, s
Proclamation for Thanksgiving, with
out sending in bill''? That is mat
ter easily answered. The President
nor his Secretary of State has ever sent
the papers of Delaware such a docu-
ment, consequently there was no oc-
casion for a bill. Nor was this Proc
lamation published in its entirety,
but when noted at all, was only in a
few lines as a news item specifying a
special act of the Executive of the
Nation in reference to the people of
the whole realm.

HE attention of the citizens of oul
State will be divided this week be.
tween the Botkin poisoning case in
San Francisco, California, and that
OF Senator Kenney, in Wilmington.
The car of witnesses to the first named
case had serious railroad accident,
but fortunately without serious injury
to any of the party. which detained
them day or so near Houston, Texas,
reached San Francisco just in time to
prevent the trial from being delayed.
Owing to the death of Judge of one
OF the courts, the trial was adjourned
until to-day. Judge Carroll Cook was
on the bench. The indications are
that Mrs. Botkin's lawyers will make a
legal fight every inch of the way.
The second trial of Senator Kenney

The Gath session of the Kent Comfy

DEATH OF JAMES S. MOORE.

James S. Moore, a well-known citi-
zen OF the upper part of Kent county
died at his residence in Dover on
Wednesday last, in his 83rd year. hav-
ing been born March 8, 1921, on a
farm below Leipsic, where his parents
resided. Before reaching manhood he
came to Smyrna to learn the mercan-
tile business, and was for several wears
head clerk in the store of Gee. w.
Cummins. Nearly fifty years ago he
married Miss Anna Sharp. the elder
sister of Mrs. Amanda Spencer and
Miss Kate Sharp, both of whom died
the past few months. After marriage
he settled on his farm, that was the
site for the station and town of Moor
ton, now called Cheswold. He was
the original settler, and from him the
town took is first name. He moved TO
Dover In 1875 where he resided until
he died, and was one of the trustees of
the M. =. Church, with which denomi-
nation he connected himself in early
life. He was known as plain, honest.
economical and God fearing Christian
that walked in the straight and narrow
way. He leaves a widow, but no child
ren. The funeral services were held
on Saturday, interment in the Odd
Fellows cemetery, Smyrna, Rev. AL
fred Smith, his pastor, officiating.
