No Right to Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in. face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be nervous and irritable. If she
has constipation or kidney trouble, her
impure blood will cause pimples, blot
ches, skin eruptions and a wretched
complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to pur-
ify the blood. 1t gives strong nerves,
bright eye, smooth, velvety skin, rich
complexion. 1t will make good look

ECLIPSE MAY BE
VISIBLE IN DOVER
Former Residents eff the State Capt.
tai. Now Advanced Astrono-
mers, Will View It.

Among the Dover people particularly
interested in the total eclipse of the
sun next Monday, beside Profess ol
Herman S. Davis who will view it from
Atlanta, are Mrs. Ella c. Marshall and
Miss Anna Cannon, who is now an in
structor in advanced astronomy in the
New England Conservatory, Boston
Mrs. Marshall and Miss Cannon will
view the rare phenomenon from Nor
folk, Va.
Asked to describe the aspect and
stages of the total eclipse as visible
from Dover and lower Delaware. Miss
Cannon stated:
There will be quite a darkening OF
the sun in Dover about 9.1O-eclipsed
but what is left will be too bright to
look at without smoked glass or col
ored glass, such as yellow or green
together.
Or, one could do this-take a piece
of heavy brown paper and stick pin
holes in it, Hold the paper in direct
sunlight at anytime and one will see
round spots of light which are really
images of the round sun.
Now if you hold the paper in sun
light on the morning of the eclipse you
will see crescent shaped images which
will change as the moon moves over
the sun. AS the moon commences to
press from in front of the sun you will
see the crescent shape appear from the
opposite side. And at last the round
image of the sun once more. This can
be easily done and the progress of the
eclipse watched without trying the eye.
The eclipse commences, Dover, 7.9O.
ends about 10 a. m. or shortly after"

Father Woldron is a gentleman

AN ANCIENT RELIEF.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. Amy one who has had an at
tack of sciatic orinflammatory rheuma-
tism will agree that the infiction is
demoniac enough to warrant the belief.
1t has never been claimed that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm would cast out
demons, but it will cure rheumatism,
and hundreds bear testimony Ito the
truth Of this statement. One applica-
tion relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale by How

thai the limit would go. But the min
listers had the right to demand a vote
by orders.
| A colored minister did call for such
vote, but the call was actually laugh
ed out of court. Then the yeas and
nays were demanded, and the call was
sustained. The result; was: Ayes,
4SS; nays, 2SS. So the report was
adopted and the limit was removed.
This was a great event, for there has
been limit on the pastoral term since
1904. Up to that .ime there had been
no limit. Then it was fixed at two
years. In 1864 it was extended to three
years. in 1883 it was made five years.
and now in 1900 the Church goes back
to where it was before 1904 by entirely
removing the limit. Some have
thought the removal of the limit would
destroy the itinerancy, but the answer
made to that is that the i,inerancy ex-
listed before there was a time limit.
NOT MANY CLERGYMEN MOVED.
1t is also said that only 8 to 5 per
cent. of the ministers in late years
have been moved by the limit. 1t is
now possible for a Methodist Episcopal
Church to have the services of a pastor
indefinitely.
Rev. Samuel J. Nichols, d. D., of ST.
Louis, the fraternai delegate from the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, was presented to the confer
ence, and in behalf 1f the followers of
John Calvin and John Fox extended
the hand of fellowship to the followers
of John Wesley. In conveying the
fraternal greetings of the Presbyterian
General Assembly to the Methodist
Episcopalians he said God had seated
the Methodist Episcopal Church on a
throne of honor, and the Presbyterians
bring their admiration and esteem and
thank God for the history of Method
ism. Calvinism and Arminlanism,
for Gods sovereignty and for
mans free will, are parts of one whole.
and Presbyterianism stands with
Methodism for the imperial reign of
Jesus and the expansion of Christ's
kingdom.

The cowardly assassination of Prof.

hoped they have. The life these foot

By the adoption of an amendment to
the Constitution of the Church the
Methodist Episcopal General Confer
ence now in session at Chicago took
THE first step toward opening the doors
of THE general and lay conferences of
the Church to women. Of course it
will take some time TO comply with all
conditions requisite to make the amend
ment operative, but it may be said the
outer works have been carried in the
battle. For many years the women of
the Church have contended for this
privilege and they have every reason to
feel encouraged over THE action of THE
General Conference. Woman has ever
been heroic factor in Church work
and this action of the General Confer
ence will add zest to her .labors.

positions in the regular army for SER

homesick, and numbers OF them have

very properly. The private in

WHERE THEY ARE A UNIT.

With each issue of our Republican
contemporaries does the proof of our
assertion oft made, perhaps, but
worthy of repetition, that the name of
Salisbury, politically mentioned. is gall
and wormwood 10 them, become more
convincing. Only last week had we
occasion to make mention of this fact
and quote recent as well as time-hon-
ored incidents Ito corroborate it. Mr..
Willard Salisbury, prominent and ac-
tive in Democratic politics, is the cause
of their woe and wailing just now, and
the Republican organ which appears
without at least one fling ait him, is
mot in accord with the well-defined
Republican program. Regular or
Union, at least ON this theme, they coin
eide with a harmony that is angelic,
and the now tightly-caged dove of
peace which was sent back to the
Union camp after fiuttering vainly o'er
THE last two Republican conventions,
must heave sigh of content in its
padlocked prison because of even this
little mutuality of interest displayed
by the warning factions.
The Evening journal, of Wilmington,
Us now Regular Republican of the
virulent, venomous and bowling order.
Like all new converts it fairly huns
with enthusiasm and zeal in the inter-
ests of the Dupont wing of the Repub-
lican host, and it's columns are literally
lurid with scintillations that scorch
everything of an Addlcks hue that
floats to the surface. But it hates Will
lard Salisbury with venom that
crops out even in its local columns. 1t
hates him with a hatred born of fear
because he is a Democrat to the manor
born and is esteemed of his party.
The State Sentinel, of Dover, is the
strongest and staunchest representa-
tive of the Union or Addicks wing of
the same Republican host in the State
From the pen of it's venerable editor
weekly flow streams of burning lava
that light up the Republican horizon
with electric sparks which send deadly
volts coursing through the Dupont or
Regular ranks But it hates Willard
Salisbury, and coupled with its darts
directed al. the Dupont forces are ar
rows, venom-steeped, aimed at Mr.
Saulsbury-because he is Democrat
of repute and standing.
These two illustrations, covering diff
ferent portions of the State, and nam
ing two Republican organs which
more bitterly than any others in the
State, perhaps. represent their separate
factions, are given to show how
keen, deep and sincere is the Republi-
can hatred of Mr. Willard Salisbury.
They are but chosen as being the lead
ers in thought of their respective
tribes, and establish the fact that in
THE matter of hatred and fear of this
Democratic leader Republican sent-
ment is unanimous.
