Bishop Leighton Coleman of the Do
cese of Delaware, who is well-known in
Cecil county, returned 10 his home in Will
mington, last Friday evening, after his
annual pedestrian tour this year. He WIS
away fifteen days, thirteen of which We're
spent in walking. During this time POI
miles were covered, or an average of 20
per day. The bishop will not tell his route
or give any localities. He said, however,
that his way was through the Blue Ridge
and Allegapy mountains, both of which he
crossed and along which he walked the
greater part of the time.
The managers Of the Delaware State
Fair, which closed at Dover, last Friday,
have almost decided to discontinue the
holding of the fair any longer. For the
past ten years the association has had a
hard struggle to keep up with expenses,
and for two or three years previous to last
and this year were unable to pay the full
amount of their premiums, This action
on the part Of the association did not meet
with approval of many of the exhibitors,
who would take their exhibits each year
to the fair and be rewarded with nothing
more than mention in the papers, as con-
sequence of which many of the largest eX-
hibitors ceased to bring or send premiums
to the fair. The fair this year was very
poorly attended on the two first days,
owing to the rainy weather.

Silver Heresy and Scandal.

more than party associations, we re-
tired from the party and, taking with
us the colors representing true nemoc-
| racy, organized this league. Under its
influence nearly a million good, true
Democrats rebukcd the theft and sup
ported the great Democratic principle
of honest money under n banner
against which for lifetime we had
fought
IF in 1896 the sacrifice we made was
justified, it certainly is doubly so now.
In 1896 by defeating Bryan we saved
the country from Il financial and in
dustrial revolution which would have
involved dishOnOr, disgrace and con
tinued distress ut Il time when values
of commodities and the price Of labor
We're at the lowest, when CONFUSION
could but emphasize the injury and
distress which free silver agitation had
already wrought. The result Of our
work brought the country to hope and
activity, until now prosperity obtains,
values are up and the price of labor the
highest in the history of this country,
considering the purchasing power Of
money.
"A thousand times better would it
have been to let free silver win in
1896, when depression and ruin ruled.
| than let it win now, when prosperity
rules. The revolution in values that
would ensue upon the election of Bry-
an would pull down our financial and
commercial structure, involving COM
plete industrial disaster The fall
would be so great that the wreck would
be beyond repair for this business gen.
Grafton, and these conditions would not
wait for Mr.. Bryan's Inauguration; his
election would precipitatc them before
sunset of the following day. Therefore
our duty is to take up the contest
where we laid it down and fight it to
finish in good conscience, in good faith,
i'll common dCccncy, in fulfillment Of
our duty as good citizens. We cannot
do less.
"Sutlicicnt for us is the fact that the
gold standard is in danger Free silver
is the real issue again before the coun-
try Our duty calls us to the same ac-
ton we took in 1896, and no true friend
of honest money, national honor, safe
ty and prosperity can desert our colors
and go over to the enemy.
I'VE repeat, no man who opposed
Organism in 1896 can in good CON
science and true principle support it in
1900. Its champion is the same Popu-
listic Bryan, advocating the same prin-
ciplcs and purposes.
"Our simple duty is to bury Bryan
ism beyond resurrection and establish
for all time beyond successful assault
the gold standard.
I'VE urge all Democrats who believe
as we do to cast their votes whore they
will count for most, Mckinley and
Roosevelt"

The Baltimore League.

One of the largest and strongest
branches of the National Democratic
Honest Money league is the one at Bal
timore. This was the first organization
of the kind in the field in 1896 and it
made Il great record for itself. The
old committee of 20 which managed its
affairs in 1896 recently met and dcciCl-
cd to rcorganizc for the present cam
paign, dceming it quite rs important
to act now as then. Only two of the
committee of 10 have changed their
views and come out for Bryan. The
work of the Baltimore league is now
going on as vigorously as four years
ago, and the prospects are that the re-
suits of the work will be similar to the
previous results. At the first meeting
the sentiment of the members was cX-
pressed in the declaration that the
league again entered the campaign be-
cause Organism and free silver were
the real issues and because, as the
Gold Democrats Of Maryland believe it
was their vote that carried Maryland
for Mckinley in 1896, they believe it to
be their duty to support and vote for a
continuance of the administration
which has assured honest money and
good times. At least $1,000 Gold Demo-
Gratis in Maryland voted for Mckinley
in 1896, and the leaders of the league
believe that the bulk of these will vote
the same way this November.

A CRIME oF rAouoHrLEssNEss
which Causes the Death of Many Sick
Room Victims.


RoOm Victims.
"Thoughtessnas and mistaken
kindness in the sick-room slay their
thousands, and the family and nurses
are oft. times the unknown accessories
TO the deed" is the emphatic opinion
of Bland Brunner Huddleston writing
of "Visitors to the Sick Room" in the
Woman's Home Companion. "They
fear criticism too much. Their moth
ers and grandmothers never dreamed
Of refusing admittance to the sick
room: 1t would cause talk to begin
it. So the nurse casts responsibility
off on custom, and puts blind trust
in Providence, and the deed is donel
No matter how visibly it harrows the
soul of a nervous woman to have
outsiders about her, there are those
who will persist in invading every
sick room they can reach, regardless
of the condition of the patient or the
probability Tor lack probability that
they may be of any service. It often
happens that it is the least useful and
most taotless women OF a community
who are most active in their atten-
tions to the afflicted. Such visitors
seriously handicap the efforts of the
physician aud nurses and undoubted-
ly cause many death. 1t is aston
ishing to witness the recklessness of
most families in regard to this phase
of the care OF their sick. Unless q
patient is actually in articulo mortis the
doctor does not like to endanger his
popularity by ordering the arbitrary
exclusion of visitors. without his
commands to back them up the family
that attempts the innovation invites
and gets the ostracism of the neigh
borhood for no short time would
not be thought to decry the good,
sensible, self-denying neighbor nurse
who in almost all communities and in
homes of slender means everywhere
must supply the place of the trained
nurse when the home force is not suf-
ficient to properly care for patient.
God alone knows the extent of her
usefulness or can adequately reward
her. Only cheerfully sympathetic
society is benefit to convalescents,
and that kind, like medicine, only at
proper intervals and in right amount.
In fact, SO much depends upon the
mood and manner of the visitor that
one might almost advise the patient to
observe the caution that is affixed to
some prescriptions, Shake well b.
fore taking.

Women supplanted by Men.

With carefully CLEANED statistics,
Edward Box, in the Ladies' Home
Journal, shows that the number OF
women in business is decreasing, and
will continue rapidly to grow less.
1.-The tide of women rushing pell-mell
into all kinds of business has been
stemmed--in fact, it is already reced.
ing, and perceptibly so, he contends.
sit has already been asserted by fe-
male agitators that the growing ten
dency TO dismiss women from various
business positions is because Of the
opposition of men to the employment
of women. On the contrary, men
we're willing to have women 60 into
business pursuits, and it was men who
opened positions 10 them. Undoubt-
edly this was largely due to the self
ish business reason that women would
work for lower wages than men. But
with the influx there necessarily came
into the business world great deal
of incompetent female help. For a
time ineompetency was overlooked
because Of the lowcr wages. Gradual
ly, however, there came the inevitable
wedding process, temporarily stayed
by the business depression OF the past
few years. When prosperous times
came it was different, and II is a very
significant story which accurate sta
tistios tell that more women have been
discharged from business positions
during the past year of prosperity,
even taking into consideration the
larger number employed, than in any
previous year ="

old man, bowed and bent and travel
worn, but like the Wandering Jew he
pursued his weary way.
The broad waters Of the Shannon
we're colored beautiful red by the
fading rays of the setting sun, which
was almost visibIy dropping through
the trees to the west of the City OF
Limerick, when an old man with head
and shoulders bent and leaning heav-
lily on a stout staff came slowly along
the highway that led to little ferry
at the river bank His long beard was
as white as snow and hung nearly to
his waist. His face was swarthy like
that Of man constantly exposed to
the sun When he spoke to the ferry
man it was in voice used TO many
tongues. The boatman helped him
from the shore into his skif and gave
him his coat for cushion on tho
rough.hewn plank which answered for
seat. The old man raised his head
feebly and looked about him. Finally
his eyes fell on the spire of Hereford
Cathedral and there they rested, light
ing up for few seconds with glim-
mer of hope.
The boatman pushed off from the
shore and slowly and noiselessly the
skiff may its way across. No sound
above the gentle ripple at the boats
bow disturbed the silence of the even
ing. Suddenly the faint sound of a
bell stirred the air 1t increased in
volume--then the note of another bell
intermingled, then another and an
other. until the melody of full set of
chimes lose and fell in the evening
stiffness. The boatman, who had
rested his oar to listen, turned to the
old man in the rear of the boat and
saw him standing erect, hia arms out
stretched and his face wreathed in
smiles of great gladness. His eyes
were raised to the sky with an ex-
preston of thanksgiving. He con-
tinued in that attitude until the last
note of the chimes died away and then
be fell in a heap in the back OF the
boat. The boatman went to him and
laying his hand on the face Of the old
man felt it was cold
