The writer of Democratic glasses in
the Sunday Star, like all other political
writer's and newspapers in Delaware,
finally comes to the front with the state
ment that "THE Sun is correct" Here
is what Democratic Glasses said yester-
day:
"The discussion of Senatorial possibil-
tiles has brought to the fore the talk of
the Administration being in favor of the
return OF George Gray and it must be
admitted that there is some ground for
showing the possibility of such an occur
renee. In the first place there are 81 Re-
publicans and 2l Democrats in the Legis-

GREAT educators in every part of this
country have testified that women are
invaluable to the Boards of Education in
the many cities and towns where women
are members. Always cognizant of the
pupils wants, women are always quick
to suggest methods providing for those
wants. The people of Wilmington should
decide Immediately to profit by the ad-
vice of the country's noted and most ex-
perienced public educators. Give the

To wear high silk hat,
And twirl a natty little cane,
And boss them all like Matt.
I'd have a handsome trap and pair
A mansion large and grand,
And Levi, too, of course, I'd have
To do as I'd command.
I'd live q life of lobster ease,

Oh, yes, I'd be a Senator
To oblige you dontcherknow.

lar Services,

lar Services.
Two addresses were delivered in Union
M. e. Church yesterday by Miss Louetta
Sillitoe, one at $50 O'Clock in the after
noon and the other at 7.3O o'clock in the
evening.
At the $50 service the pastor, Rey. DR..
j. d. G. Hanna made the opening re-
marks, in which he referred to the four
weeks of revival services Just completed.
He told his auditors that they could over.
come any temptation or allurement il
they stuck close to Christ. He said no
one should throw off a Christian life be-
cause something occurred in the church
they did not like. All should get in
touch with q personal Saviour.
Miss Sillitoe then sang gospel song.
Some portions of it was explained by
Rev. Hanna who said his auditors would
know come day why they were given
certain burdens to bear and why their
loved onea were taken away.
Miss Sillitoe then spoke. She stated
that she loved the Lord with all her
heart. Why? Because he loved me
first and gave his life as ransom for
mine.
She said that an unbeliever could not
realize what it was to belong to Christ
She thanked God for his saving and
keeping power
The meeting became general and short
remarks were made by others in the
audience who testified to Gods saving
power.
AT THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN c IURCI.
Two interesting sermons we're delivered
by Rev. DR.. T. A. McCurdv in Central
Presbyterian Church. His subject for
the morning was THE Great Need" His
text was Acts IX:2: "Have you received
the Holy Spirit since you believed" He
said the Apostle Paul had asked this
sharp question while at Ephesus.
His subject in the evening was "a
Very Practical Need" His text was
Genesis VI:22, "Thus did Noah according
to all that God commanded him 80 did
he" He told how Noah had built the
ark, which enterprise was accomplished
after much difficulty and at the expense
of much time and labor, l20 years being
required in its construction. He said that
as Noah had built according as God had
directed, we must do in like manner, in
the matter of our salvation, as God d.
rects.

The letter OF instructions will not be
made public, but it is understood that it
is comprehensive in character and, in
addition to making plain the general
policy of the government on all impor-
tant points, it covers all of the details
that can now be foreseen and provided
for. 1t is believed, however, that many
questions are likely to arise during the
deliberations of the joint conference
upon which the American members
will require specific cable instructions
from the president.
AS the members will sail from New
York Saturday on Che Campania they
must leave Washington Friday. 1t is be-
ieyed that the president has not finally
and definitely concluded upon line of
policy respecting the Philippines
whether they shall be retained or re-
linquished.
The element in the cabinet is said to
be disposed to postpone the final decision
on the future of the Philippines, argu-
ing that the matter might safely be left
to the discretion of the peace commits
sioners and pointing out that import
ant developments, changing the whole
aspect of the question, could fairly be
expected before the joint commission
had taken up the subject for consid-
GRAFTON.
In spite of all the disquieting reports
that have come of late from newspaper
sources indicating the existence of criti-
cally strained relations between the i'll
surgents and the American forces of
occupation, it is q fact that for three
days no word came to either state, navy
or war department from Manila until
yesterday. That was a message from
Admiral Dewey asking authority from
the departmental officers to purchase
some fresh beef, which would afford
him a supply for three months. The
admiral made no mention of any dis
turbance
Some war department officials believe
General Otis has peculiar fitness for
dealing with the problem.
General Otis has been given plenary
powers to compel the insurgents to re-
spect suspension of hostilities.
Some of the members of the cabinet
again saw President Mckinley at the
White House last night. Secretary Day
was also there.
Last night Senator Davis was at the
White House, where he dined with the
president. Commissioner Whitelaw
Reid of New York also reached the city
last night, coming by a very late train,
and stopped at the Shoreham Senator
Frye is expected to arrive tonight
