CHRISTIAN ENpEAYOR CONVENTION.

The press committee for tho 18th In
terna tional Convention of Christian
Endcavcr, to bc hold in Detroit July
9TH to tho 10th has begun work by
issuing a letter setting forth the Mt
fractions of Detroit in general, and of
the coming convention in particular.
Detroit expects to entertain at least
60,0 visitors on this occasion.
This letter says, Never was there
brighter promise Of great things for tho
Endeayor hosts. and never has city
felt gladder thrill over certainty of
blessings to come. The programme
promises five day feast that will edu
cate, edify and enthuse the thousands
that will partake. y
The convention will be characterized
by two new features, viz: The employ
ment of a higher grade of music than
formerly, and lectures upon socio-
logical questions and other present day
problems. The latter feature is de-
signed, however, to supplement and not
to supplant the spiritual clement which
has always been the great characteristic
of Christian Endeayor conventions.
The attractions of Detroit as n con
vention city are set forth with particu-
lar reference to the city's well-known
outing facilities on land and water
Tho close proximity of Belle Isle, De-
troit's great natural park, is cited in
this connection.
In conclusion the letter says: Grim
son and white are the colors in which
Detroit will array herself for the great
convention. The houses of the city
will be opened wide and cordial y will
find expression in every face and voice
and manner. You will have one fare
railroad rate; you can come by raj
from everywhere and by water from
almos tanywhere; your entertainment
will be at a reasonable cost, and YOU
can visit the famous Northern Mich.
gan resorts after tho convention. You
need the physical inauguration of the
trip to Detroit, and the mental ant
spiritual inspiration that comes from
contact with the wholesome life of the
Endeavor host. But most of all We
want you.' M~.~

New Castle, March is. - William
Kee, who resides with his uncle, Arthur
Kee, on the Dixon farm, about two
miles from this city, yesterday after
noon was playing marbles with several
boys, when his marble went beneath
the iron fence which surrounds the
yard. He jumped over the fence and
his left leg caught between the rails
and the weight of his body swinging
backward, broke-the limb near the
knee. He was held up by Morton Ed
wards, and after being released was
carried into the Jefferson House and
DIR. j. J. Black summoned. He set
the broken member and Samuel Miller
drove with the lad to his home. The
boy, who is but ID years of age, showed
great fortitude while the broken leg
was being set.

EAsroN'S sUN-DIAL.
An Interestins story Concerning an oil
Timepiece-A New Town Clock.


Timepiece-A New Town Clock.
An Easton, Md, correspondent writes
as follows: The new town clock, now
running on full time in the belfry of
the renovated Court House, is the first
public time keeper Easton has had
since the Spencer sun-dial, which was
for many years on the south wall of
the old brick hotel and removed by
the improvements made in the build
ing in 1870. This sun-dial was con-
structed by Prof. Mathew Spencer,
principal of the old Easton Academy.
Mr.. Spencer was man of remarkable
versatility and brilliant originality.
His sun-dial attracted far more at
tention in his day than half a dozen
town clocks would now.
In connection with this sun-dial n
true story is told by. gentleman who
was one of Prof Spencer's pupils at
the time. The story is as follows: In
1854, few years after the erection of
the sun-diai, illuminating gas was
introduced into Easton. Guests at the
brick hotel were summoned to the |
O'Clock dinner by q metallic gong
beaten with steel bar. and when well
laid on its resonance could be heard
as far a-field as the strokes of the
present town clock are heard. Among
| the permanent residents at the hotel
was the late DIR. Eleazer Berries, who
was somewhat of good-natured wag.
Zone morning there came to Easton,
via Dover bridge, a young man from
rural Caroline county carrying jug.
He told people ON the street that he
was to be married that night, and
hearing there was 'lightin' gas in
Easton he had come over to get a
| iugful to light up tho 'meetin' house,
with. He was referred to DIR. Berries
at the hotel, who politely told him
Yes, indeed, you can get iugful, OF
several iugfuls. if you want them. For
weddings we make no charge for gas.
But the iug-gas does not come on until
l o'clock. Put your jug down with
| the stopper out under that time-piece'
pointing to the Spencer sun-dial-
and when it strikes one the gas will
fill the Jug Immediately.
"Rusticus did as directed, and
took a seat ON the top rail Of the
Court House fence opposite, to wait
for the sun-dial to strike l O'Clock.
And his patience was rewarded. Al
o'clock the head waiter came to the
front door and threshed the gong witt
more than his usual vehemence.
60 There, she's struck at last ex
claimed the patient watcher, who
jumped from the fence, ran to his jug,
iammed corncob stopper into it:

the new tangled light with which thu
proud bridegroom was TO treat til,

.,,.,a.,, Kelley. se,narkable Nerve.

Patrick Kelley, an attendant at the
Delaware State Hospital for the Insane
at Farnhurst, several weeks ago was
bitten on his right hand by mailman
named Collins. The wound was at
tended to at once and cauterized. In
few days the hand began to swell and
evidences of blood poisoning set in,
The hand, wrist and arm became very
painful. Kelley was told that only am
putation would save his life. He OBJ
ieoted to the method. DIR. Hammond,
the assistant superintendent, said he
thought he could save the member if
Kelley would submit to having the
wound opened and the puss and
poisoned blood removed. This the suf-
feriug man assented to and without the
use Of anesthetics submitted to the
operation. The back of his hand was
opened in three places from the
knuckles to the wrist, the operation
lasting over in half hour. The hand
partially healed and broke out again,
and again the same work was done.
Now the hand is healing and is saved.
DR.. Hammond states that the indomit,
able nerve and will power of Kelley
had much to do with saving his life.

The camel is beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial "last straw" is added to
its burden. The human digestive system
is very much like camel. 1t is really
astonishing how much abuse it will
stand. Sometimes, however, something
worse than usual will be eaten, and
will go through the stomach into the
bowels, and there it will stick that's
constipation. Nine tenths of all human
sickness is due to constipation. Some
of lii. simplest symptoms are coated

Provost was hanged this morning. The
drop fell at o'clock.
