q MEMORIAL WIEDO MS.
Being Put In FIRST Presbyterian Church,
Union Thanksgiving service.

.l-|=- EofNfcus
BY Thanksgiving Day it is hoped to
have six double memorial windows
placed in the First Presbyterian
Church to replace windows which have
been in use since the building of the
church in 1910. The first of these win
dows has been put in position on the
north side of the auditorium. 1t is in
memory of Benjamin and Rebecca
Chandler, former members of the
church, and was donated by their
grandchildren, John H. Noblit,
Joseph c. Noblit, Arthur Chan
dler and Alfred N. Chandler Of
Philadelphia, The, subject of the
window is the Sermon on the Mount,
comprising life size picture Of Christ,
addressing the multitude The inscrip-
ton is."Come unto me all We that are
weary and heavy laden and / will give
you rest"
The Young Peoples Society Of Chris
tian Endeavor has decided to donate
IN Endeavor window. The other win
dows to be put in will be memorials of
former members. The work is being
done, by William Keith of Philadel-
phia. The desire to have such windows
was expressed at the beginning of the
pastorate Of the Rev. William M.
Schall, the first of the year, and by
Thanksgiving, when union service is
y TO be held in the church, it is expected
to have six windows in place. Tho SER
mon on that occasion is to be preached
by Il clergyman prominent in the de-
nornir ntion. 9.. rs

A FIELD EXCURSION.
Members Of tho Natural History Society
Have al Interestins and Instructive

Members Of tho Natural History Society
Have an Interesting and Instructive
Tramp. %
Several members Of the Natural
History Society tranlped across the
fields to Folly Woods and beyond on
Saturday afternoon, In search Of botani-
cal specimens of which about 100 va
rieties were found IN bloom, among
them a rare flower, unfamiliar to any
member Of the party which was carried
home for examination. Many of the
species were the modest little roadside
plants, yarrow, and dog fennel and
smartweed, hardly recognizable under
the long Latin names by which they
were dignified. On the edge Of a
swamp were found a few wild cram
berries, and nestled under the long
grass was a "sundew,' an inseotivor-
Gus plant whose leaves are edged with
bristles which close instantly on the
unwary insect that alights for an in
slant on its surface, and holds him
fast until the plant has extracted all
his juices. A few spikes of cardinal
flower were secured, but it is rare. Its
beauty has proved fatal, for the blazing
flowers attract passers-by and every
flower pulled destroys future harvest,
as 1t is propagated by dropping seed.
Closed gentiaas were abundant, but no
fringed ones were found. New Castle
county is said to be especially rich in
fora. owing to the variety of soil it
contains. Hawberries and persimmons,
past their pickering stage, furnished
refreshments by the way.
It is matter for regret to see fine
old piece ofwoodand like Folly Woods
being cleared away. 1t contained
many noble old trees which have been
cut down, leaving an almost impenetra-
bio thieket of blackberry vines and
catbrier. The pond in the middle of
the woods chat used to be the home of
myriais Of bullfrogs is already dried
M, which shows the effect of the re-
inoral Of forests.
Several beiated butterflies and moths
were captured, but the spiders were
zone snuglyf TO bed for the winter in
rolled up leaves, and wrapped in
downy blankets of their own weaving.
These strolls have been taken every
Saturday afternoon for somo weeks past
and are pleasant and instructive. They
would be still more so II some one
verscd in ornithology and in mycology
would 60 along, for 1t would be very in
| teresting TO be able to recognize the APP
pearance and song Of all of our common
birds, while an acquaintance with the
| varieties OF mushrooms and fungus
growths would be valuable and profit

Trapsrers ut u Price That Indicates the

porniion.
Col. Henry A. du Pont, president Of
the Wilmington & Northern Railroad
Co., has purchased, either for himself
or another party, 255 shares of the
stock of that road from Mrs. James
Price Winchester, for $40, 600, or nearly
$40 per share. Heretofore, the selling
price of Wilmington & Northern stock
has lowered around S15 or SIT. Col.
du Pont also desired to purchase 300
shares from Mrs. Matte McComb Bush
at the Same figure, but Mrs Bush de-
clined TO sell unless the 255 shares
owned by her brother, James @.
McCon,b, should also be taken. Mrs.
Bush, Mr.. McComb and Mrs. Winches-
ter are children of the late Col. Henry
S. McComb and from him inherited
their stock. Each two OF the three
children are trustees for the third,
consequently, Mr.. McCoinb and Mrs.
Bush turned over Mrs. Winchester's
stock when il came 70 be sold.
The McCombs have always been
friendly with the du Points and 1t was
probably for that reason that Col du
Pont furnished the. opportunity to Sc
cure such large figure for the stock.
AT the last meeting of the railroad
company, Mr.. McComb voted his stock
in favor of the W. w. Kurtz faction in
the board of directors, and it is pre-
sunled that ON account of that action,
he was not considered in the recent
selling transactions, but, as already
related, Mrs. Bush will not sell her
stock so long as her brothers. is not
included in the arrangement.
The purchase of this stock Is sup
posed to have some connection with a
deal for the transfer of the controlling
interest in the Wilmington & Northern
railroad to some large railroad corpora
tion, the Baltimore & Ohio or the
Philadelphia & Reading.
A stock broker, in discussing the
matter, said that the impression is
that Col. du Pont has sold the road.

oununy sur.
Well may the papers of other COM
monwealths commiserate with Della
ware as Estate doubly bereaved"
when the mon who represent her in
high places betray such littloness of
soul as to deny word of sypmathy to
ono of its most eminent sons while
lying at the point of death. II seems
incredible that any sane man, born and
reared in = civilized community, could
object, on any pretext, to expressions
of sorrow and sympathy for fellow
man in affection, especially when the
sufferer was one whose life has shed
such lustre not only on his State and
on his country, but on humanity as
we'll. Delaware has indeed fallen from
her high estate in tho public counsels
when pigmies like these essay to stand
in the shoes Of her Bayards and her
Saulsburys.
