dred and other places, came in for de-
struction of the game last week
Tuesday and Wednesday were the
days of greatest slaughter, and there
are apparently but few rabbits left.
Twenty or thirty gunners would be at
a good sporting place at a time, and
John l.. Seemans thinks that at least
100 rabbits were killed on the Halde-
man farm, in the several days shoot
ing of last week. 1t was as if the
gunners were on march of extermi-
nation.
The steamer Delaware is now at the
yards of the Pusey & Jones Co., Will
mlngton, having some changes made
IN her machinery, which will be com
pleted the early part of December.
These changes add to her power and
speed and the boat will not only be
superior IN every accommodation and
speed to any other boat plying between
these points, but will be able to leave
at regular stated hour each sailing
day OF the month. 1t is expected that
the changes will be completed in time
for the steamer Delaware to take the
Van Sewers place by December 18th.

Stars and Stripes Council No. 26. Jun-
iOr Order of American Mechanics
Both delegations marched up from
thelr respective rooms en- mass and oc-
cupled seats in the main wing in front
OF the chancel. This delegation mum
bered 30 Eagles and 90 American Me-
chanlcs. Rev. Dame took his text
from the fifth and sixth chapters of the
O'th Psalm: LET the people praise
thee, y God; let all the people praise
thee Then shall the earth Weld her
increase; and god, even our own God,
snail bless us. His remarks had a
more direct bearing on THANKSGIVING
and the duty it was to all to render
praise to God for the blessings re-
celved during the past year. He com
mended the great orders represented
and spoke of the power for good that
they were welding in this country.
HIS remarks had pleasing effect upon
those who heard him.
