frequently greeted with applause. DR.,
Jones, whether delivering his lecture in
the north or south, has no apologies to

CORNERSTONE CEREMONIES.

The dark, angry looking clouds and

humber of our citizens from being
present Mt the impressive ceremonies
attending the laying of the cornerstone
Eof the new Methodist church in this
kcity. Bishop Charles B. Galloway OF
EJackson had been invited to deliver the
Fsermon. Owing to the i~nclemency of
the weather, the original plan of hold
ling the services in the new editice was
abandoned, and the exercises were held

Il accompanied by Rev. DR.. Murrah, pres

DR., ThomsOn'S Lecture.

Last Monday night we attended the
lecture at the Presbyterian church OF
DR., Edward Thomson, the lawyer
preacher of Atlanta, Ga, on True
Americanism or Sunday Reform"
While we endorse the idea carried with
the lecture and wish the work God
speed, still we were disappointed in the
eloauence and speech of the orator. A
league organization was perfected at
the meeting and as noble men selected
to ill the Offices as our city claims, as
follows: R. Thayer, president; John
Dennis, first vice president; Lr. Burk-
halter. second vice president; Sam
Keesler, recording secretary; DR.. d. s.
Humphreys, corresponding secretary:
E. r, McShane, treasurer. The execu-
tive committee consists of the five min.
listers of the city. Cards were passed
through the audience for subscriptions
TO carry On the work. To our surprise
the noble christian mothers and daugh-
ters Of the city were not honored with
a single office in the organization, and
it is upon them and their noble efforts
that the success Of the work largely de-
pend. We are opposed to Sunday work
of any character and orr voice and
vote will ever he used in aiding to
make the day a day of rest and peace

SUNDAY AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Unprepared for Cold Weather, Furnaces
We're not Started and Demand Ex-
hauSted the Supply of Gas.

September passed away without any
marks of frost, but ushering in Octo-
Der with decidedly low temperature.
Up to the present time there have been
four mornings with frost, and the mer-
curry nearly down to the freezing
point; in fact thin ice has been re-
ported from the country districts on
the mornings of this week. So many
days together of bleak North wind in
the early Fall was not looked for, and
the most of the people were relying on
oil stoves and lamps rather than heat
ers, but they had to come to the latter
in the end
Sunday the temperature was ten or
twelve degrees below the point where
lire is needed for comfort. Fortu-
nately, at the Presbyterian church a
fire had been built in the heater, and
the congregation was comfortable. At
the Episcopal ceurch the gas jets were
lighted, which raised the temperature
to comfortable condition.
At the Methodist church the old
heaters had been torn out and the new
arrangement for heating by steam
(now In course of construction not
completed, and thus there could be no
heating from the cellar It did not
occur to the sexton to shut the doors
and light the gas, and those who did
not come in winter garb had rather a
chilly time of it. The night service
had a novel experience. The heavy
demand on the gas stoves throughout
the day Though Mr.. Norris h ad kept
the retorts at the factory busy day and
night had so exhausted the supply
that there was not enough to ran the
church through the services and rather
than have the lights go out on the con-
gregation in ten or fifteen minutes
after starting on the sermon Gas he was
informed would be the case) the pas
tor dismissed the congregation at the
close of the second hymn. The SER
mon, which was special one in ref
erence to the occasion-C Christian En-
deavor Day-was deferred until an
other time.
1t was something that had never oc-
Cured before and would not this time
but for the large number of gas stoves
introduced the last year or two. The
proprietors, Messrs. Smithers L. Ma.
guire, made arrangements to put in
three additional retorts two weeks ago
and the man did not come until yester
day to put them in. There is plenty Of
gas now for all consumers.

THE TROLLEY AS A BUSINESS BOOMER.
Business Men in Wilmington Would Like to
See II COnsummated.

There is an opinion among the husi-
ness men of Wilmington, that the troll
ley line proposed for Milford, Dover,
Smyrna and other towns of the State,
In the event that said line will contin-
ne on through to Wilmington, will be a
great boom to business generally, and
no more down the State than it will be
to that city.
The Morning Ne1Os in questioning
the statement that the Delaware Gen
eral Electric Railway Company would
continue their main line to SMYRNA and
branch to Woodland Beach from this
point rather than Leipsic, has the fol-
lowing to say:
The promoters evidently expect to
do a considerable freight business, as
they think OF running their freight cars
atnlght. The main line from Milford to
Dover and then to Smyrna would I'M
questlonably have a large passenger
patronage. 1t would give the State
capital direct communication with both
OF these towns, which it has not at
present. Both Milford and Smyrna
are now reached by branch railroads.
The road to Woodland Beach, besides
the many pleasure seekers that it
would carry, would also do large
business, both passenger and freight
A quick and cheap means of reaching
Philadelphia would be secured. Years
ago there was railroad communication
with the beach from Clayton, and many
excursions would go there and thence
to Cape May. But the road was not
kept mp and was finally abandoned.
The trolley line may be the means OF
reyiying this business.
