CHURCH 200 YEARS OLD
ANNIVERSARY OF ST. MARTINS
CELEBRATED AT MARCUS HOOK
LAST NIGHT.

ANNIVERSARY OF ST. MARTINS
CELEBRATED AT MARCUS HOOK
LAST NIGHT.
Marcus Hook, Dec. 19.-The 200th
adversary OF ST. Martins Church at
this place was celebrated last night.
In reality, the ceremonies were in
commemoration OF the deciding Of the
land for church purposes by Walter
Martin, who was at one time a Friend.
and changed his faith 70 that OF the
Mother Church of England.
Following is an extract from the
deed
"on the 18th day OF December, 1893.
Walter Martin, yeoman executed a
deed Of gift OF an acre of ground to the
town and township OF Chichester for
the following purposes and uses: That
is for a burial place and for the erec-
tion OF a place of worship to Almighty
God, said church to hold the two sacra-
ments, namely baptism by water, either
by dipping or sprinkling. and the
blessed sacrament of the Lords supper
by bread and wine. and such as own
the resurrection OF the bodies OF the
dead and own the ordinance OF singing
Psalms in the praise OF God in congre-
cation, or in their families. and own
the taking of an oath on the Bible ac-
cording to the laws of England, If so
called thereto FOR the confirmation OF
the truth. And as a free burying place
for such as will bear part of the cost
of keeping up the fences or concern
themselves in the building OF a church
or meeting house thereon"
Walter Martin. who gave this land
and after whom the church was in later
years named, was born in England in
1867 and emigrated and settled in this
county at Marcus Hook before the
landing OF William Penn in 1852. He
was one of the representatives from
Upland (now CHESTER to the General
Assembly called by William Penn the
year after he landed.
The present church was erected In
1S45, the cornerstone being laid on
July %. IL was consecrated on July z
1886. by Bishop Alonzo Potter. Some
months ago Rev. r. NJ. Doherty was
placed in charge OF the church. He ar
ranged the celebration Of the dedica-
ton OF the land.

SUPERB SOUTHERN SERVICE
FROM THE EAST AT
FORDED A sPECIALoPPORTUNITY
BY A NEW ARRANGEMENT OF
THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

The people of this city, who are used
10 things OF quite a marvellous nature,
are just beginning to realize that a
railroad trip 10 Florida ana Cuba IS
not alone an easy matter, but one
which may be accomplished with lux
ury and dispatch. This is owing TO the
new arrangements OF the Southern
Railway Company, which permits of
through train from the City OF Bro
.therly Love 10 almost any point in the
Land OF Flowers"
Wilmingtonians who desire to make
q trip to the tropics, which is most de-
sirabie at this season OF the year, find
la the new arrangement Of the South
ern Railway n most pleasing feature.
Leaving Washington the superb South
ern trains 80 direct over their own
lines to Savannah, Ca, and from that
famed city of the South directly over
The Plant System to Jacksonville and
Tampa, the latter correctly named ''The
Magic City of the Gulf" From Tampa,
Havana and other places Of Cuba may
easily be reached via the Plant Line
steamers.
A more delightful trip at this season
Of the year. than that from Philadel-
phia to points in Florida, either to the
East or West Coast, could scarcely be
imagined. From the National Capital
the Southern Railway passes through
many of the most famous battlehelds
recorded in American history. The
richest portion OF the South Is seen.
Its most picturesque features are view
ed. Its centres Of industry and pros
psrity are traversed, and finally the
most beautiful section Of the nation is
reached. Think Of II! You can 20
from Philadelphia TO Florida and be
compelled to spend but one night upon
the road. This arrangement is GER
tainly a marvellous one in railway his
tory, and the number of Northern tour
lists who are already taking advantage
OF the splendid chance to visit Florida
and Cuba is surprisingly large.
The Southern Railway has also ex-
cellent connections by way OF the East
Coast System to Miami and Havana.
as well as to all points on the delight
fnl East Coast OF Florida.
A number Of large parties Of Phila-
delphians have already been sent on
their way South. and many more are in
preparation. From New York. Boston
tho other points in New England and
the Middle States excursions to Jack
sonville ST. Augustine TAMPA and
other places are being arranged
Information of a general or detailed

Bury TO PROVIDE LARGER
BUILDINGS.
Salisbury. Md. Dec. 19.--The report
Of the Peninsula General Hospital, just
published shows such gratifying re-
suits attained by the institution IN 26
months that there has been a movement
started here to provide a larger and
more convenient building for the work
OF the institution. II Is believed that
within the coming year a large brick
building will be erected by popular sub
scription and the hospital enlarged so
as to accommodate the very large de-
mand made upon IT, The report shows
that during the year ia patients were
admitted for treatment. 81 OF whom
were treated free. This does not in
clude many cases OF slight accidents,
ETC., that were carried to the hospital
for relief, but who were not kept there
for treatment. being treated in their re
spective homes.
NJ. V. Brewington. the secretary, in
his report says: Every year since its
opening the hospital has been the re-
cipient Of numerous donations from va
rious local sources, and we have every
reason TO believe that these donations
will be increased each year, and as
soon as the hospital is provided with
a larger and more convenient building
that a much more concerted action on
the part of local philanthropists will
| at once assert ITSELF"

An English physician claims 10 have
discovered new and effcacious cure
for persona AFFLICTED with nervous or
mental maladies. II such persons, he
says, can only procure pleasant dreams,
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is, therefore. TO furnish them
With delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses a soft leather
cap, which covers the patients head
and ears, ana leaves only the SAGE un-
covered. Beside tho ears are placed two
metal plates, which are Joined by a
rubber tube to phonograph. The pa
tient rests on a dlvan IN a dark room
and in front OF him Is a sort OF magic
lantern, from which are projected az
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
lures. In this way, II IS claimed, the
eyes OF the sick person are delighted,
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono-
graph.
As a result, weariness comes upon
him and Ia soon followed by slumber,
and Al IL while he is doing In this
manner that happy dreams are evoked,
thanks to the phonograph and the ster-
eopticon. After this light slumber
comes a deep sleep, which. we are as
sured, Is always most beneficial.
Several tests OF this kind have been
made with success, and II Is said that
not only are tired nerves refreshed by
this method. but that the patients body
also rapidly increases ia weight, That
pleasant sounds and sights are soothing
20 tho nerves We have all known for a
long time. but that pleasant dreams
have a tendency to make persons fat
