MILITIA
DEPART.
Wilmington Battalion
Starts For the Capi=
tai at s o'clock
Last Eyen=
ing.

The Wilmington Battalion, First Della
ware Regiment left this city az O'Clock
last evening for Washington. where a
three days peace jubilee is being held. The
Delaware soldiers will participate in the
military parade this afternoon and will
return home tonight.
The battalion was under the com mmand
of Majlr Evan G. Boyd. The soldiers
were not accompanied by musicians, other
than tho several company bnglers never
theless their marching wac faultess and
the enthusiasm from tile thronging crowd
which witnessed their departure was no
less denonstrative.
Tie soldiers presented natty appear
ancs. Their uniforms and arms were new.
At the P. w. e. B. Railroad station fully
two thousand persons had gathered, crowd.
ing the platform and impeding the pro.
gres of the gaarlsmen. A special train,
furnished free by the railroad company,
was in waiting and into the cars the men
piled. Sentries were stationed on each plnt-
form, and no civilians were permitted to
pass within the car doors. The train moved
at 8 15 o'clock, and until that time boys
and girls, mon and women, surged about
the cars and chatted with the guardsnen.
But there was not the pathos and the in.
spring cheer that characterized tho Firs
DelaWare's departure for Camp Tunnel
in April one year ago. A special car was
provided for thu officers last night OH the
troop train.
Governor Tunnels staff departed for
Washington at noon yesterday. The gov
ernor was not in the party, however, as he
is Ill, and he delegated Secretary OF State
Hughes to represent Delaware on oil oc-
casions of ceremony. Colonel Theodore
Townsend was unable to mako tho trip,
owing to his bu.iness engagements. He
also was of the opinion that Major Boyd
should command the battalion.

sssrsp. Life and Character Of Moses.


For several sabbath evenings Dr. Nc
Cnrdy has been delivering IL sories OF lee
lures on Moses, the great law giver OF Old
Testament history.
A large congregation listened to his
fourth lecture OH Sunday evening. His
subject being, Moses at Sinai: Six
Scenes and those present pronounced 1t
the best lecture of the series.
The Drexceled himself in his descrip-
tive powers so that he held the closet at
tentlon US he passed from scene to scene
His climax and provocation were elo-
qlent and inspired those who listened to a
greater admiration for the great leador of
the suffering Israelites.
At the close of tho service 1t was inter.
esting to hear the com ments on the lecture
as he people passed out Of the church.
Such as these Moses is gotting botter
and botter."
'We wore surprised when the doctor
finished"
I'VE could have listened another hour,
ETC."
In these days when many pastors are
trying to keep their evening congregations,
good size by delivering lectures Of
literary character, it was refreshing to see
the largo congregation at Central Church
and TO notice with what eagerness they
listened to the words of their pastor, while
he discourscl to them gospel message.

POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.

Senator Samuel M. Knox says tn
Regular Republicans elected to the
last Legislature in this city never
SAID they would go into a caucus
with the Union Republicans. He
certainly should know what ar
rangements had been made by the
men whose leader he is.
Charles R. Ewing says he is no
more a Union Republican. but a
Regular. That George W. Bush
will be elected Mayor by 500 major
| ity. That hundreds Of Democrats
have said they were going to vote
for Bush.
Hundreds of voters at all three of
the primary elections were not
qualified, not having registered be-
fore the last registration day.
Watchers were at every polling
place on Saturday last. The cleo
tion was conducted fair and no kick
is coming.
Dan Stewart says the Union Re-
publicans polled as many votes as
he estimated they would on Satur-
day. He expects they will poll over
800 more on election day. This will
be enough votes to hold the balance
of power.
The Union Republicans say they
can elect enough members to the
next Legislature to insure the cleo
ton of both United States Senators
without the help of the Regulars in
New Castle county.
George X. Roberts and Stansbury
S. Wiley over estimated the vote OF
the Union Republican on Saturday
last.
William B. Clerk is one OF the
best known Republicans in the city
and is very popular with the masses.
He expects to make better show
ing on election day. He gives en-
ployment to several hundred men IN
his morocco factory, corner Ninth
and Walnut streets.
Howard Staats certainly does not
imagine he will be elected City
Treasurer, but he may be success
full in keeping William H. Curry
from filling that position.
Looks more like DR.. Fahey for
Mayor every day.
The Union Republicans will have
to cast more votes at the election
than they did OIL Saturday, if they
expect to defeat William H. Pierson.
The Republican majority in the
Fifth ward is over 800.
Thomas S. Lewis was elected by
over 400 majority over John Sayers
at the last election.
The new registration law has
done one good thing for the people,
and that is to put a stop to the
wholesale che ating at the primar-
les.
If the candidates don't suit you,
and you didn't vote at the primaries
when the nominations were made,
don't say a word against them.
You neglected the opportunity every
good citizen should have availed
himself of, to vote for the men of his
choice.
Democratic success means turn
ing every Republican in the city out
Of Office. This is the way it looks
to us now.
The Democrats in the Eighth
ward ratified the Democratic city
ticket at a meeting at Taylor and
kirkwood streets last night.
