QUESTION Of WoMENS RIGHTS.

Delaware Churchman.
This is not. an article advocating
women's voting, or setting forth the
supposed advantages of women going
out to work while men stay at home
to rock the cradle. A few facts may
help to bring out what is intended.
Does any one who is interested in tho
st. Michael's Day Nursery realize that
no less than Ii of the children have
fathers who have deserted their wives
and families2
Is not this deplorable state Of
affairs. and lis it not In such cases as
this that women have riehtsY The iact
that IN most OF such cases the women
go to. work and support their children
seems to prove. that they arc made OF
stronger stuff than the mon. When one
considers that these Is children have
inherited something of the disposition
of such fathers, and that there are five
children whose mothers are insane, it
may help to set forth some of the diff
culties of bringing MP these little ones.
Thore has BEEN birthday already
this month, that of a little fellow with
very violent temper, which he is
making heroic refforts, to subdue. One
punishment which has been tried with
him is to put him into dresses. The

phatic gesture, bringing his little fist

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Review for last
week says: 1.-THE worst day IN Wall
street for years was in Fart the legiti-
mate result of the best year In bust
ness ever known. Because the country
had rrospered so greatly and had so ex-
banded its business it could no longer
afford to have many millions locked up
in carrying stocks representing i'm
imaginary values. None doubt that
almost all the industrial companies
have been doing a splendidAbusiness
though none know what proper tion
actual profits bear to their outstanding
stock. Splendid returns show that rail-
road earnings were better in the first
half of December than in the same part
of any previous month TO-. per cent
better than last year and 21.3 per cent
than 10 1892 against 1874 in November
14.S in October and l2. in September.
November iull earnings were 27.4 rer
cent greater than in the best of all
years prior to the panic against %. l
per cent in October and u in Sep
tember
The business of the country close to
the holidays is necessarily smaller than
it has been and yet larger than at tho
same date in any other year. Ex-
changes through principal clearing
houses for the week have been 33. 7 per
cent larger than last year and 50.4 per
cert larger than in 1892 including ~.
per cent gain in payments outside New
York There is not even suspicion
of unsoundness IN any considerable
branch of industry or trade the extra
ordinary expansion in some being as
we'll warranted as the moderate gain in
others. !"
Bradstreet's says that sit is signi-
ficant of the prosperous condition up-
DERIVING the general business situation
that reports almost without exception
point to volume of business havin.
few if any parallels in previous yeal.
Another significant feature developed
also is that The demand for such goods
embraces higher class and more ex
pensiye grade of materials u conclusion
among trade reporters being that a
larger buying capacity exists now than
in any previous year in the country's
history. This favorable condition too
exists in face of the fact that weather
conditions have not altogether favored
retail distribution of winter goods the
result being less activity in purely ie-
tail lines than had been looked for
though comparisons with one year ago
are generally favorable.
1.-THE fact remains, however, that the
bank clearings for the week, six bust
ness days ending with Thursday ag-
gregate 81, 22l, 933, $40, total in excess
of any Preceding weekly total ever re-
ported, l6 per cent in excess of those
of last week, 80 Fer cent larger than
those OF one year ago, 81 per cent
heavier than those of 1897 and 80 per
cent heavier than those of $780,

LARGE PAPERMAKlNG PLANT.


Plans BEING Prepared for S350,OOO
Establishment at Rockiand.
The Jessup & Moore Co., PAPER
manufacturers, is having plans pre-
pared for $3.50, 900 plant at Rockland,
to replace this one now there. When
the new buildings are completed,
which may be within the next six
months, the plant will have capacity
for finishing 100, 600 tons of paper per
day, whereas the present capacity is
between 10000 and $4,000 tons. In
addition to more than doubling the
capacity, the new plant will be
equipped with the best machinery and
greatest facilities.
In addition 10 a new boilerhouse,
now in course of erection, covering an
area 150xl50 feet, and smoke stack
1875 feet high, the plans call for four
other large buildings of the following
dimensions; 76S200, 64x200, 34x200 and
6sx1S6 feet. Work is being pushed on
the boilerhouse, and stack. and after
the boilerhouse is completed all of the
boilers now i'll use at tho Plant will be
moved thei Elm and new boilers added
which will give 1000 horse power
additional. 1t is not known when
work will be commenced on the other
buildings, but it is likely that work
thereon will be started as soon as
practicable.
The business of the firm is growing,
hence the necessity for the improve
ments. This company owns and operates
the Augustine mills.

Denton, Md. Dec. %. Judge Russum

bill is an amicable one, as all the facts

two of the Wheeler heirs are minors.

While people were going home from

q young mar at Sixth and French
streets and tore his coat off. A free
fight followed and Policeman McGillon
arrested William Denney on the char GO
Of .disorderly conduct. 1t was not

RECTOR AND SEXTON AT ODDS.
Trouble B-twaeD the Rev. M. rs. Dunlsl
and samuel ". Etnridge.

Trouble B-tweeD the Rev NJ. rs. Dunlap
and samuel ". Etnridge.
At the Old Swedes gate, Seventh
and Church streets, arc two houses,
the one on the right occupied by the
Rev. Martin b Dunlap, tho ourate;
the one on the left, occupied by Samuel
M. Ethridge, the sexton. Between
these two houses is the entrance to the
graveyard Hanging from window
in the third floor of the curate's resi-
dence Is a turkey; hanging from a
window on the third floor of the COX
tons residence is pigs pluck, that
is, pigs liver and lights. The turkey
ard the Eggs pluck on opposite sides
OF the roadway stand for division be-
tween tho minister and the sexton.
And thereby hangs a tale.
Mr.. Ethridge succeeded Alfred ID.
Vandeyer as sexton on September LIST.
Soue of his duties have been in con.
pection with the parishhouse and
trouble has arisen between the minister
and him concerning that building.
Ethridge declares that PERSONS have
been in the boiler room of the church
without authority, and that on one
occasion, damage resulted to boiler,
as result, he believes, of some inter-
ference. He had dispute with
Frederick Downes, a nephew OF Mr..
Dunlap, who wanted to get the keys
to unlock room ir the parishhouse,
and Ethridge says that Downes choked
him and bumped mis- head against the
wall. For this bit of treatment,
Ethridge has sworn out warrant for
the arrest Of Downes on charge of
assault and battery. He asserts that
| the assault occurred on December LIST
and that the same evening Pastor
Dunlap entered his house and used
abusive language towards him and
shook his fist in his face. For this,
| Ethridge has sworn out warrant for
the arrest Of the minister on the charge
of trespass.
Among the things which Ethridge
declares Mr.. Dunlap said was that he
called the sexton pig headed. " The
Ethridges think the placing of he
turkey from the Dunlap wall is piece
of spite towards them, and so they
have hung out the pigs pluck in de.
tiance to show that they have pluc6.
A reporter of the Gazette saw Mr..
| Dunlap and Wardens John S. Grohe
and Charles NJ Curtis of Trinity parish
Saturday morning.
Mr.. Dunlap said he knew nothing oil
any warrant. He had no statement to
make. The wardens announce that the
action of the sexton, Ethridge, wa:
unwairanted and unjust and they have
relieved him OF his duties.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette aud journal
Dover, Dec. %. "A special session of
the Levy Court of Kent county was
held yesterday, TO further consider the
shortage Of its attorney, John j.
Hawkins, As Mr.. Hawkins had made
settlement, further proceedings
against him were withdrawn. While
the shortage was over Sl,000, the court
accepted that amount. which, together
with his salary fol- the year, amounting
to something ovei 800. will fully settle
the claim. Mr.. Hawkins will be re-
tanned as counsel for the court until
the annual election, in February, when
it is intimated, change will be made
in the attorneyship.
The resolution passed by the court
some months ago, calling for the re-
moval of the partially laid tracks on
the outskirts of Dovor, was again called
up, and Levy Court Commissioner
Clifton was instructed to notify Mr..
Hawkins to have the track removed
by Tuesday next. If the track is not
taken up by that time, the county
officials will remove it and keep the
iron.
