people have had a dose of talk and
it had not proven a very substantial
repast.
However it was possible that the
old company might have been the OBJ
structionist and so some were ready to
wait and watch. Now the old COM
pany is out of the way and the talking
time is past. The people don't want
to be fooled by either new or old,
neighbor or foreigners.
''There are, however, certain things
to be born in mind. One is that the
new company must, by its own char
ter, begin its road within six months
from the date, and must complete it
in two years. Its charter was
obtained about the first of Sep
tember, so that next March must
see some signs of a start, or it kills
itself, and the S17, 200 it deposited with
the State Treasurer is forfeited and
lost. The same thing is true if it does
not complete its road in two years from
this fall. Therefore there will be no
indefniteness about its existence, if it
is not bona fide undertaking. Fur
theremore, it has, in the past few days,
filed with the solicitor for the town
council of Dover, bond, guaranteed
by the U. S. Trust Co., of Baltimore,
reputable and sound security COM
pauy, by which it will forfeit an ad-
ditiOnal $4,000 to the town of Dover
if it does not start its road in the town
in twelve months from that date, or if
it does not macadum the streets of the
town from curb line to the other curb
line.
sit was the failure of the new COM
pany to put up this bond after it had
promised so to do, which did much to
cause a. lack of confidence in it as 6
bona fide company. Now that it has
done so, howerer, much may yet be re
gained.
zone thing is certain and fixed the
new company has now got S27, 800 a
at stake. If it proves to be mere
stock gambling scheme, the State cal

THE verdict of the jury and Judge

people of Kent county in their inter

to shower upon any company as com
The Iader, in speaking of the situa-
tion says:
"What the people want is an elec-
tric railway and that company which
will give them this, is the company
they will favor. If neither will give
them their desire, they will have no
part or parcel with either, and will be
but eager to have them both judicially
destroyed.
There is some talk of writ oi
error to the Supreme Court by the old
company, but this seems to be more
talk than anything else, especially
since even reversal of the late decis
ion by the higher Court would result
only in the old company being sen
back to jury trial next April term 0
court, few days before the tim
limit of their corporate existence.
The track, therefore, is now clea
for the old company's rival, the nev

A newspaper is an educator; there

The Sun is the highest type of q
newspaper.
THE Suns reports from all parts of
the United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Cable Service is the finest

THERE were two deaths last week
that caused regret over the whole
nation. The first was that of Gen. w.
Fl. Lawton, who was killed by an in
surgent bullet, near Manila. He went
into the army when IS years of age in
1861 and fought throughout the Civil
War, and remained in the army until
he was killed, and arose to be one of our
best generals.
The other death was that of Dwight
l.. Moody, at Northfeld, Mass, Fri
day, aged SO, known the world over as
a great evangelist. He was magnetic
preacher, a man who honOred and
loved his work, and the wonder is who
can take his place.
Mr.. Moody was one of the best
known men in America and had been
heard by perhaps more ersons than
any preacher of his day. A Mortified
writer to New York paper, in speak
ing of his death says:
''Several times his lips moved as il
in prayer, but the articulation was sc
faint that the words could not be
heard. Just as death came Mr.. Moody
awoke as if from slumber, and saiC
with much joyousness: L see earth re
ceding. Heaven is opening. God il
calling me-"
"The cause of death was genera
breaking down of his health, due Il
oqerwork. His constitution was tina
of an exceedingly strong man. but hi
untiring efforts had gradually under
mined his vitality, until that most del
icate of organs, the heart, showed sign
of weakening. His exertions in tn
West last month brought on the crisis
and the collapse came during the serie

Philadelphia, Monday. Dec. 25 1899
The jewelry-store is only a
little over two years old, and
it did more business last week
than any other in the city,
This didn't come about in
two years. 1t began way back,
years and years ago, before
the jewelry-store was born or
thought of.
We sold you clothing or
dress goods and told you the
truth about them. If anything
was 'off," we told you SO. If
anything didn't suit you, you
came back and got your
money. You got into the way
of taking our word about
things without applying the
usual advertising discount.
When we started a little
jewelry-shop on the Juniper
street side, we told you what
kind of place it was, and
what we had there. Again,
you took us at our word, and
came and bought-just about
as much as the store deserved.
Then, when we had every
thing ready-the right time,
place, goods, and man-we
told you that we had finally
got the best jewelry-store in
Philadelphia, where jewelry

would prevail. You came anc
