A WATER CURE.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun, one day last week, in referring
to an inquiry made by another CORE
spOndent, said:
Please tell "Well Patient to drink
eight glasses or two quarts of water
daily, beginning at rising, and large
draught before retiring. This was
recommended to me some three
months ago by my medical adviser
for a serious malady. His instruc-
tiOns were to copiOusly "hush" the
system. Yesterday, he said 1 was well
on the way to recovery. Try it.
There is sound sense in this advice.
We all know that the system will be-
come clOgged with impurities, more
especially in those people who take
little exercise, and while we have been
in the habit of dosing ourselves with
drugs and buying ''bitters" and 'ton-
les and pills of fifty kinds, we have
been neglecting one CT the simplest
and most rational remedies-one that
costs nothing and is easily taken.
This is nothing new. Physicians
have known of the value of ''hushing''
the system on rising in the morning,
but for some reason it has never be-
come popular until quite recently,
when more and more those who were
ailing, run down, lethargic, lazy peo-
pie, have tried it and found it to work
like charm.

1.-THE following communication was writ
ten for our last issue, but was crowded over
to this.l
Let eUery man do his duty. This is
a motto that is of use to almost every
man. The Smyrna call seems to be
very much exercised concerning the
policemen and berates them in an ar
ticle headed, "The Policemen Cen
sured." The animus of the article is
more than apparent, notwithstanding
a bungling attempt to throw dust in
the readers eyes.
Among the county officials, we have
a body of men known as the Levy
Court, who are are supposed to see that
the affairs of the county are properly
conducted, roads kept in good repair,
ct ceterG. Do they always do their
duty? There is a sea of mire and mud
that heads from Bombay Hook inland
to the main road. This caricature of a
road is well-nigh impossible, and to
make it worse, this state of affairssi
well known to those in authority, and
yet nothing is done to remedy the
matter. The CAL speaks of the people
paying taxes and wanting good police
service in return. That is nothing,
if not fair. Taxes are also paid by the
farmer, and rather heavy taxes into
the bargain. A good road is a neces-
sity to farmer and brings money
into his pocket, although indirectly.
A bad road affects him contrarywise.
1t is a most curious coincidence that
the roads over which the members of
the Levy Court are wont to travel, are
nearly hub deep in mud, be the state
of the weather what it may. This road
through Bombay Hook Island is dis
grace even to Delaware.

of William Purnell and Addison New
man, both colored, as accessory to the
murder of Wesley Gibbs, on July Sd,

trate Groves, who held them under

and entered $500 bail on the same
charge.
The JACOB TOME INSTITUTE. The

much of the wealth accumulated by
the late philanthropist to the institu-
tiOn which he founded. Between
So, 900, 600 and So, 900, 600 will be avail
able to perpetuate the Jacob Tome In
stitute. This sum places the Institute
far ahead, in point of endowment, of
any similar institution in the country.
Endownments of universities with mil
lions of dollars are not uncommon, it
remained for Mr. Tome to raise the In
stitute to plane, so far as financial re-
sources are concerned, with the large

THE "FAvORITE" WILL TAKE THE
PLACE OF THE B. S. FORD The Cav

Company and placed on the route as a
successor to the B. S. Ford. The lat
ter boat is owned by the Chester River
Company and had been under lease to
the Queen Anne's Railroad during the
past year. The business of the rail-
road company has prospered so largely
in excess of calculations that it has
been found necessary to secure the
services of q much more commodious
boat. 1t was for that reason that the
relationship between the Queen Anne's
Railroad and the Chester River Com
pany has been severed and new ar
rangements made for the coming year.

OUTPOSTS IN CHINA.

England has no notion of being
counted out in the disposal of China
If Russia and Germany supposed that
they could leave their little friend out
of the game, they have already found
themselves mistaken. In a strategic
if not also in commercial view, the
possession of Wei-Hai-Wai by Great
Britain offsets the Russian lease of
Port Arthur. These are the two
points at the entrance of the Gulf of
Pechill. Together they would COM
mand it; separated, one neutralizes
the other.
England has also renewed her grip
on the Chinese customs, and has Sc
cured the opening of three new treaty
ports and a pledge of free commerce
in all the inland waters, and has got
an assurance from Germany that the
German ports shall be open. A sim
liar assurance has been given by Rus
sia, but Mr.. Balfour, in his statement
in the House of Commons, lets some
distrust of Russia appear. He can
very justly claim, however, that the
British policy of free commerce has
been effectively protected and that is
all that has been insisted on.
Notwithstanding all this, Russia's 8
position at Port Arthur is stronger
than any British or German or French
port or all combined can be, for the
reason that tits simply an advanced post
in the Russian system, reached di-
rectly by rail and supported by plenty
of fighting men, while the others are
naval outposts or mere commercial
stations that will have to be defended,
if they need defense, by troops brought
thousands of miles from home. For
this reason, Northern China, at least
is pretty sure to be Russianized even.
