porters. W. II. Berry Of Chester made
n freq silver speech, asking the Single

The free silver cause was not helped
by the speech of A. Fl. Stevenson of
Philadelphia who declared that Single
Takers should not support Bryan. who,
he said, was not o Single Taxer. and
there was no reason why he should Sc
cure the Single Tax rote. Mr., Steven
son suggested that his hearers devote
their time TO working for Single Tax
and to leave Bryan and his doctrines
alone. His spoech was applauded.

SORROW TURNED TO JOY.

A Soldier LOSES Valuable Papers and
Money, But They Are Returned to Him.
While James Thompson, a marine,
who was with Admiral Dewey in the
battle of Manila, was going from
Norfolk to Newark, N. j., on Friday
last, he met with misfortune on the
Delaware railroad. As the train flew
past PocomoKe station his hat blew off
while asleep, and he woke up to find
that ne had lost his honorable dis
charge papers, his transportation
papers, and his pocketbook, all of
which were in the hat. When this
city was reached Conductor Owens
teleeraphed Mr.. Rogers, superin-
tendent of the N. Y, p. & N. road,
and had him send his men out over the
road in search of the lost articles.
While the search was being made the
marine continued on his way, pur-
chased new cap and was returning to
Norfolk Monday on his way to San Fran
cisco, his home. Conductor Thomas
Hawkins took charge of the train at
this city and seeing the man with the
unusual headgear on, entered into o
conversation with him and learned
that he was the one who had lost his
hat and the valuable papers WITH it.
In the meantime men had succeeded in
finding the lost hat and word " as sent
to this' CITY to- that effect. Conductor
Hawkins Informed him that such was
the case and the Joy of the marine
knew no bounds.

Cuban Catholic Clergyman.

Provides Funds for the Education of
Cuban Catholic Clergyman.
The Havana correspondent of the New
Century of Washington pays Gen. James
II. Wilson OF this city a'high compli-
ment in recent letter to bis paper.
He says: 4,
at ia with pleasure that write of
the very graceful act OF Gen. James
II. Wilson, military governor of the
PROVINCES Of Matanzas aud Santa Clara,
who recently presented his Spanish
teacher, Father .Mepdez, o young Cuban
priest, with purse Of $1,000 to enable
him to pursue course OF studies at the
Catholic University in Washington.
Gen. Wilson is Protestant, yet $500
OF this sum was contributed by himself,
500 to honor the memory of his la.
mented wife and another hundred in
honor of q daughter. The balance Of
the money was contributed by wealthy
friends of the general at his request.
Such an act as this not only testifies to
Q certain generosity of character in the
man, but enables him, by placing him
on a plane above those men of little
minds, who fall to appreciate the worth
to society of an unselfish and cultured
clergy"

is also binary star. No fewer than
eight astronomers have furnished values
for the parallax of 81 Cygni, Bessel
being the first and Pritchard the last
(1867). According to these eight
astronomers the number of light years
of this star range from six to Ii. The
determination of the annual parallax of
o fixed star is such difficult and
subtle affair rs u, render accurate
values of the distances that depend
upon that parallax rather dubious. The
constellation Cygnus contains no less
than three variable stars, of which Chi,
mentioned above, is one. Its periodical
changes Of light are said to be 400
days, ranging from the third to the
sixth magnitued. South of Cygnus is
the small though ancient constellation
lDelphinns, or the Dolphin. In spite
of lis smallness it is quite a fine con-
constellation Delphinus, or the Dol
phin. In spite of it's smallness it Is
quite q 6ne conhgurution of stars
that of diamond. This rhumbus
of four stars Is also known as
"Job's Coffin" a, fanciful name,
the origin of which Is unknown.
The four stars in the CORNERS of the
rhumbus are Alpha, Beta, Delta and
Gamma. Besides these the only con-
apicuous star in the constellation is
Epsilon, about degrees to the south
west. Somewhat to the southeast Of
Delphinus is still smaller oonstella-
tion than the latter, that would hardly
be worth mentioning were it not for
its being one of the famous As of
Ptolemy. 1t is called Equuleus, or the
Little Horse, though it is simply u
horses head. Lyra, with the beautiful
star Vega and Aquila, with the bright
Affair, are still high up in the. skies,
while Pegasus, with its great square,
is rising higher and higher in the east
ern portion of the heavens. Corona
Borealis, Hercules, Ophiuchus and
Scorpio are approaching the western
horizon. The splendid star Afcturus is
almost on the point of setting. while in
the southeast the first magnitude star
Fomalhaut is climbing ,una and, far
down In the northeast Persons is rising.
The consultations peculiar to the
season of summer are Fastening toward
the western horizon, soon to disappear
from our view. @Hf.

HOME FROM THE WEST.

Return of Delaware Veterans Who At
tended the Grand Army Encampment.
The major portion of the Delaware
Grand Army Veterans who attended the
national encampment in Chicago, Ill.,,
arrived home last Saturday evening at
8 o'clock, having left Chicago at 3. 30
O'Clock Friday afternoon. All are we'll
and report having had an enjoyable
time.
A banner was awarded to the post in
each State having the largest number
of members for that State liz tho
parade, and du Pont Post captured the
Delaware banner, having nine of its
own members in line. Smyth Post was
next in order, having eight members.
Each of the posts had more men, but
not it's own members. 1t is due to the
efforts of Court Crier John Gallaher,
member Of du Point Fost, that his post
received the trophy. When it came
time for the parade to start Smyth
Post and tlu Pont Posts each had eight
men without Mr.. Gallaher, and,
although he has a lame foot, and walks
with difficulty, his pride got the better
his post and marched all the way over
length, thus enabling his post to win.
He was very tired and somewhat sore.
but has almost recovered from the
effects. In speaking of the matter
afterward he said he and man with a
wooden leg we're the only lame people
he saw 10 the great body of paraders.
One man dropped dead while marching.
The Delawareans stopped at the Com
tinental Hotel and had good accommo-
dations. They were royalty entertained
and were given several free excursions.
They we've shown through one of the
large meat establishments.

The Business situation.

r. 9. Dun & Co.'s Review says
Saturday Commercial failures during
August were 735 in number, with liza
bilities of 1923, 903. Manufacturing
were 174, for 81, 945, GOT: trading 519,
for So, $50, 667, and other commercial
AZ, for S792, 500. There were only two
banks, with liabilities of STAG, ZOO, 600.
This is the best monthly statement for
1900 thus far, but shows an increase
over the corresponding month in ths
preceding years. Bank clearings at
the leading cities outside New York for
the week are 80 per cent under 1885,,
partly owing to holiday in Chicago,
and 81 per cent over 1893. At New
York the decrease is 3d. s per cent from
one year and Eli per cent from two
years ago."
The New York money market con-.
tinues very easy, and the banks have
gained from the Treasury and the in
terror in the past two weeks enough to
make good all that was lost in gold
shipped aboard on account of the Brit
ish loans. Nearly S1,000.0 900 was 49,
oeived from the interior this week, ard

SO we'll supplied with currency that the
demands on New York for funds to
move the crops will be very light. A
test of this will be given the coming
month The Bank of England is check
ing the decline in London's money
rates, and seems DESTROYS to draw more
gold from New York. But the balance
of foreign trade continues largely in
our favor. and exports at New York for
the fourth week of August were S13,-
