election in this nation? In a recent
issue of the New York World the fol-
lowing table of English holdings and
ownership in this country is stlff1-
cient answer, and the gentle reader
who has so much love for humanity
that he would have been a tory had he
been born soon enough should remem-
Der that the New York World has not
overdrawn the picture or told it all.
But here are some of the British hold
ings in the United States, and this is
why they speak Of the Yankee nation
as zone of our FARMS" and say, when
a flood, great storm, frost or tornado
destroys property, We are the ones who
suffer" Yes, "we' on the United
States. Look over this list and then
add the great loaning concerns and the
so-called insurance companies that are
strictly investment companies" and
the great mass of farm mortgages own
ed by the same combination, and see
how near they come to owning the
nation and why they were so anxious
to own the government.

ASSISTED AT As WEDDINGS.
Francis H. tiOffecker, of Wilmington, Makes
a Record.

Miss Armytage M. Black, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. John J. Black, and
Henry Lee Fulenweider, of Whining
ton, were married on Wednesday at
noon at the residence of the brides par
ents iu New Castle. Mr.. Fulenweid-
er's best man was Francis H. Hof-
fecker, ESQ.,, of Wilmington, we'll
known here. Connected with Mr..
Hoffecker's officiating as best man for
Mr.. Fulenweider is an interesting fact.

forty-fourth time was only recently at

IN MEM0RIAM.

On Saturday afternoon, in the quiet
peace of early autumn, Susan s. Me-
loney, widow of the late DIR. William
B. Meloney, was laid to rest beside her
husband in the cemetery of Camden,
Delaware.
Loving hands had made the last mar
row bed beautiful with the flowers that
betoken hope and victory. Tender
voices sang the last hymns and the
blessed words of Holy Writ had
new meaning, as they seemed to seal
with divine approval, the record of a
sanity, unpretentious life.
Under the long shadow of her one
great bereavement, Mrs. Meloney's
whole life seemed to go out in unset
fish, generous ministry to those about
her and for those dear to her. Encour-
aging, appreciative words, cheering,
hopeful thoughts, and countless deeds
of kindness in the little things, that
make sweet or bitter, the struggle of
everyday endeavor and endurance, for
"those who labor and are faithful"
!. "Mingling with sad, sad, weeping
Over the loved that die,
Cometh this sweet, sweet comfort,
They shall live by and by.
After the deep, deep slumber,
Down in the grave bed low,
Cometh glad, glad waking
In that fair mornings glow
"COmeth the Saviours likeness,
When the decd wake with him.

ton at This Time.
A Wilmington paper says. A
sure sign of the prosperous times is
the filling up of the empty stores on
Market street and the numerous new
dwellings being erected in our city this
year. There is a demand for small
houses that rent from $40 to SIC per
month. The demand has not been so
great for the last six years and every
desirable small house in the city
has been rented. This speaks we'll
for our real estate owners. Con-
siderable property is changing
hands and the people are beginning
to make sufficient to lay by few dol
lars every week to buy themselves a
home.
