WITH THE MOUNTAIN FoLk.

Class Of People Who iuhabie tho Apps'
lachiAn Mountains.
Among the social virtues Of the
mountaineer hospitality has high
place, says william GOodell Frost In
the March Atlantic. This virtue Is to
; be found In solitary places the world
over. Its two blending motives are
compassion for stranger and curl
osity to learn whatever news he may
bring, and both motives are credible.
While we cannot here trace all the So
cial codes of mountain life. 1t is I'M
portant to note that there are social
codes and moral standards which are
most strictly observed. Herein the
''mOuntnin white" shows his genus. 1t
In his social standards and his indie
pendent spirit that prove his worth. or
mt least his promise. He Is not q de-
graded being, although. to. tell the
truth, he has not yet been graded up.
The poor whites" were degraded by
actual competition with slave labor.
The mountain whites" had little con-
tact with slavery. and retained that In
dependent spirit which everywhere be-
longs to the owners of land. Mr.. John
Fox, Jr.. is responsible for the state
ment that when n man was sent with
n sum Of money to relieve distress In
plague-stricktn district In the noun
talns Of Kentucky lie could find none
who would confess their need, and
rode for days without being able 10
execute his commission. The noun
taineer Is not supplinnt for old
clothes. Even when bestowed they
are likely to prove too short in the
sleeves. And this reminds us that
when John Fox gave u reading from
his Cumberland tales In Berea the
mountain bows Were ready to mob him
They had no comprehension Of the
nature Of fiction. Mr.. FoX's stories
were either true or false. II they We're
true, then he was mo gentleman for
telling all the family affairs of people
who had entertained him with their
best in the mountains. II they were
not true, then, Of course. they were
libelous upon the mountain people,
Such an attitude may remind us of the
general condemnation of fiction by the
unco' guide generation ago.

Eunice sprang UP from the steps.
She walked down the path and stopped

The old man flung away his cane
and rose to his feet. "Eunics!" he
cried. "you don't mean it!'

Good Bods.

We spend one-third of our lives In
bed; and yet beds are not made su-
preme or even very important con-
sideration in the equipment OF most
homes. The fact is strangely unac-
countable," writes Ella Morris
Kretschmar, in the May Woman's
Home Companion. Anne of Austria
told her friend Cardinal Mazarin that
her idea OF future punishment was-to
be put between linen sheets. So would
say many IL questioued-at least the
protest against linen would be long
and loud. In winter 1t borders upon
refined torture; in summer it is fairly
comfortable. but not sufficiently SO to
sheets, made long enough to tuck in
generously, are the sensible thing, and
good enough for the most fastidious.
Sheets should measure at least two
and three-quarters yards. This will
make the sheet long enough to tuck
in well at the foot and give enough
at the top to turn back and prevent
the blankets from coming in contact
with the face and hands. Why will
people make sheets too short? 1t is
one Of those sins Of domestic manage
ment which encourages male humanity
to profanity and women to hysteria.
Did any woman ever save $40 in life
time by shortening her sheets? II she
did, her family. If normal, have taken
it out of her nerves.
"In providing beds for family one
should guard against misflts. If hus-

EXCITING MAD DOG SCARE.
Makes Lively Scene at the Bombay Hook
Island Light House Last
Thursday.

There was a lively time at the Bonn
bay Hook Island Light last Thurday,
caused by the appearance of dog with
the rabies, and its attack upon the pet
dog of Captain Joseph Benson and
another dog belonging to one of the
fishermen. The dog affected and the
two dogs bitten were all killed.
About q month ago a strange dog
came to the residence of Frederick
Lane on the "Logan Farm" and in a
tit of rabies, attacked one of Lanes
dogs. The strange dog was killed.
The pet dog was then chained to await
results. In nine days Mr.. Lanes
dog went mad, broke loose from his
collar and chain, made for another one
OF the dogs on the farm and after Bit
ing it, made its way to the Lighthouse.
Here it jumped into the pet dog Of
Captain Benson, badly using it up,
and then in its mad fight to the wharf
where it got into another fight with a
dog belonging to one of the fishermen.
1t was not long before the fishermen
had realized their danger, and with
quickness of decision they went for
their guns, and soon put the rabid dog
out of the way. Subsequently, they
sent load of shot through their pet
dog which had been bitten.
Captain Benson put his dog up for
while, but the next day he took the
course and gave it dose of poison.
1t is to be hoped that other dogs on
the route of the rabid animal were
not bitten, and the residents of that
vicinity will not be subjected TO
another scare.

CHOOSING A NAME.
Much Fun Experienced at the Expense of
Dr. s. A. Buchanan.

Our former citizen, who got his pri-
mary education in Smyrna, his literary
education at Delaware College and his
medical education in Philadelphia,
where he settled to follow his profess
sion, Dr. Samuel A. Buchanan, now
school director, is thus refer
red to in paragraph of the city Item
that explains itself as to an event in
his family. The Item says:
"SchoOl Director S. A. Buchanan, of
the Thirty ninth Ward, few evenings
since, rendered a dinner to the mem
bers of Court Neshaminy 140 +. of A.
in honor of a new pupil for the schools
of the Thirty-ninth Section, who will
bear his name. Seventy-five members
were present. After participating in
the spread, George Bartholdi wanted
to know whether the Doctor was going
to make Democrat or Republican out
/ of this wonderful boy. This was a
starter and the oratorial members were

he live to see the Republican party al
ways remain i'll control of the country.

only three years old. After spending
considerable time among the Indians,
he entered the State University of
Lawrence, then went into journalism.
After this he went West, mined in Cal
ifornia, and lassoed steers in Texas.
In 1896 he went to South America and
took up the coffee business, but left
his plantations, went to Cuba, and
Joined the forces under Genera
Gomez. In two months he was pro-
NOTED to colonel, was several times
wounded, finally captured, then
paroled, when he went to New York
and was some months in a hospital.
He is very small, weighing less than
one hundred pounds. Whether cross
ing bridges expose d to the fire of the
enemy, or swimming rivers with the
bullets whizzing all around him, he IS
represented to have equalled the most
daring exploits of ancient or modern
times.

The question of Trusts, which seem
to be multiplying at an alarming rate,
has very naturally aroused a good deal
of attention, among the last being
combine among the steel men amount
ing to 800, 600. At a late dinner
given to Senator Depew in New York,
in commemoration of his Goth birth
day, he warned the banks against MAX
ing loans on such "bubble" Sc
curity, in which he discussed the
question of Trusts and -capitaliza-
ton of corporations which have been
created under State laws:
The Senator said: GAS the business
in this form is of necessity public be-
cause done under public charter, the
State must exercise a scrutiny which
would not be permitted in the conduct
of private affairs. The State is bound
to protect the public against any enter
prise which, under the form of law and
it's protection, is injurious to the peO-
pie. 1t is bound to protect the inves-
tor by keeping the electric light of pub
licity constantly upon all of its ere
ations. The crying need of the hour
is for some method by which light
shall be let into every one of these
corporations or chartered concerns,
and the public advised of their CON
dition, their operations, their manage
ment, and their right to live"
This is self-evident proposition.
When private citizens offer their goods
to consumers for more than those
goods are worth, the State is not ex-
pected to supervise those private indi-
viduals. 1t cannot intervene to tone
down the glowing advertisements of
merchants and real estate agents. The
public must protect itself. In most
cases it can inspect the goods which
are for sale and form some idea of
their real value The ordinary inves-
tor can form no idea of the value of the
industrial securities offered him. He
can get no information except from
men who mislead him. Those secur-
tiles are issued by a company organ
lied under the laws of a sovereign
State" Their merits are extolled in
flaming prospectuses which are signed
by business men. The investor buys
and is cheated.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOClABLE.
The Methodist Society Gave a Library
Party at the Home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
A. L. Hudson.

Under the auspices of the Social
Committee of the Methodist Christian
EDdeavor Society, of which Mrs. Ber-
tina V. Wilson is chairman, a very
pleasant evening was spent at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Hudson, Sr.,
Monday evening last, at what was
known as a Library Party" The
young people especially were well rep
resented. The guests were informally
received at the door by the president
and vice president of the society, Mr.
Walter W. Hynson and Miss Ella
Smithers and with the hospitality of
the Social Committee and the host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Hudson,
and family, every one was made to
feel welcome and given the freedom of
the home.
The first part of the evening was
marked with some excellent musical
selections. Miss Edith Beck opened
with 'Whistling Rufus, followed dur
ing the course of the evening by a
duett by the Misses Alice and Edith
Beck, another duett by Miss Bertha
Smithers and Miss Edith Beck, a trio
by Miss Alice Beck, Miss Bertha
Smithers, Miss Edith Beck, and a
A very entertaining recitation by Miss
Katherine Beckett, after which the at
tentiOn of the guests was called to the

bled to cleverly reproduce the titles of
different standard books in pantOmine.
After each scene the curtain was pulled
back, and the guests given an oppOr-
tunity to name the title of the book
represented. The first scene opened
with "The Choir Invisible" and for an
hour or more, there was a con-
| tinual succession of titles, in which a
number of the members of the society
took part. Some of the 'take offs"
were most cleverly done, but when Mr..
John =. Hudson was present to repre-
sent "rhe Man Who Laughs, he took
| down the house. "The Old Fashioned
Girl, " represented by Miss Elsie Lank
of Philadelphia, with Lady Washing
ton costume and parasol, made SO
charming q picture, that she was APP
| plauded for an encore to which she re-
sponded. Some of the scenes were ar
ranged to represent as many as three
book titles. The pantOmine was con-
cluded with some very humorous Sc
lections, feature of which was '"The
Chinese Cafe"
A pleasant repast of lemonade and
cake was served in the DINING room
before the guests began to leave. The
silver Offering amounted to $40. 90
and over.

REV. ELLIS OF KENTON MARRIED.
Welded to Miss Sue Mathews of WOrton
Maryland

Rev. George r. Ellis, pastor of the
M. Il. church, Kenton, was married to
Miss Sue Matthews in Union NJ. E.
church last Thursday evening before a
large assembly of friends and relatives.
The floral decorations were beautiful
and the ceremony impressive.
The wedding party consisted of the
following: Ushers, VIM. Hirons, of
Dover; VIM. II. Stewart, of Baltimore;
Thos. Anderson and James Matthews;
the bridesmaid, Miss Annie Rothwell
Stewart, then the cute little flower
girls, Helen Matthews and Helen Sut-
ton, followed by the bride and groom,
Rev. George II. Ellis and Miss Susan
Matthews. At the chancel the party
was met by Presiding Elder w. f.
Corkran, who performed the impress
sive marriage ceremony. After the
ceremony the couple were driven to
the home Of the brides mother, where
a delightful reception was held. Miss
May Hepworth, Of Chester, presided
at the organ.

The question is raised as to the re-
sponsibilitv in the recent and prolonged
fighting in Iuzon. The charge is
made the the anti-expansiOn club, hav-
ing its headquarters in Boston, with At
kinsOn, the celebrated statistician at
its head. They have worked in every
way to make the Filipinos believe that
there was a strong element in this
country in favor of their independ-
ence.
The blood of the brave Western
boys that have lost their lives in the
defense of the flag in the Philippines
is on the heads of the faction that be-
gan its hostile work when the treaty
OF peace with Spain was pending in
the senate and has kept it up TO this
day, giving aid and comfort to
Aguinaldo continually, by iustifying
his treacherous attack on our little
army around Manila and denouncine
our government for protecting the
lives and and property of the people ol
that city.
There is no doubt in the minds ol
the better informed Americans that tn,
insurgent Tagals would long since
have laid down their arms and sur
rendered to General Otis, had it no
been for the false copperheads, tina
the sympathies of the American peopl,
were with them and that if they only
held out long enough the populist
would carry the country for Aguinald,
and acknowledge him as the dictate
or the Philippines.

Class Of Seven Confirmed.

There was more than the usual
interest at St Peters Episcopal church
last Sunday evening, caused by the an
nual visit OF Bishop Coleman of this
Diocese to conduct Confirmation Ser
vices. The attendance was very large.
Every seat was taken and indeed some
were obliged to stand up during the
service. The Bishop was assisted by
the rector, Rev. Henry Thomas, and
Rev. Dexter Weeden, of Clayton. Ser
vices at Clayton were dispensed with
and a goOdly number of people from
that town joined their rector in attend
ing services here. The Bishop deliv-
cred strong sermon from portion of
the sixth verse of the Fourth Psalm
"Who will show us any good" After
the sermon the clsss for confirmation,
seven in number, presented themselves
at the chancel. After the laying on OF
hands of the Bishop, the class was adj
dressed, the motto being: "Be W
doers of the word and not hearers only
deceiving your Ownselves," taken as
the 22nd verse of the first chapter OF
the General Epistle of James. This
charge to the class was very sympa-
thetic part of tine service.
The musicrendered was made a spec
ial feature. Miss Elizabeth Counsel
man rendered sweet solo and very
pretty duett was given by Mrs. l.. o.
Waller and Mr.. Fred Lang. Indeed
the music of the choir showed more
than usual preparation.

THE statement is made that 27O wit
nesses were summoned from Duck
Greek hundred during the term of
of court that ended at Dover on Fri
day. These witnesses were mostly
summoned in the case of DIR. Moore
charged with bribery or paying regis
tratiOn fees. Whatever may have been
the hope of the leaders, whether to
put DR.. Moore behind the bars, as is
believed, or not, it is certain that two
or three men were in it for all the
money they could get out of it, with
out regard to DIR. Moore or anyone
else. After such a drag net as was
thus thrown out, it is strange that
some one was not found besides these
discredited men who had something to
reveal. They went about the business
asif there were millions in it" and evil
IDENTIFY had 'big expectations" to find
In the end their vocations gone. To
say that they were disappointed, is to
put it mildly.
DIR. Moore declares that he neither
paid registration fees or bought votes
at the last election, and desired the
trial to go on at once, but his lawyers
were not ready and the case was put
Off until the next term of court.
Smyrna times., 1899-05-10

THE call yesterday published a let
ter signed by Emmett Lewis, denying
having had any communication dl-
rectly or indirectly with DIR. Moore or
any of the defendants in the bribery
cases, not having seen any of them
since Dec. 10Th, 1897. There is evl-
IDENTIFY a misconceptiOn on the part
of Mr.. Lewis as to the purport
of the affidavit of DIR. Moore
upon which a continuance of the case
was secured until next October. The
affidavit did not in any sense refer to
Mr.. Lewis in connection with the last
or any other election, but was founded
upon information received by DIR.
Moore referred to another matter en-
tirely.
1t might be proper to say that the
affidavit in this case had nothing to do
with the others deferred, each defend
ant, we are told, having reasons which
the court accorded to their attorneys.
