Mucho celebramos dice este colega
que la prensa seria Sc preocupe de
tan importante question y no dudamos
que los demas colegas seguiran ell
ejemplo de El Nuev0 Pa{s, va que sc
trata de un asuntO en- ell que nadie
puede mostrarse indiferente y cuya
notoria iDjusticia tiene que sublevar
los sentimientos cristianos de todo el
que no este atacado de incurable y
furiOso sectarismo.
La sociedad cubana, eminentemente
religiOsa, Sc ha sentido herida en- sus
mas mobiles sentimientos al saber que
Sc quiere obligar, por medios mas 6
menos !ndirectos, q esas insustituibles
amigas de los pobIes y de los desgra-
ciados, que abandonen la Isla, donde
muchas han nacido, donde tienen
familia y afecciones.

ocratic paper, and which has always
been credited with having an extensive
constituency of readers who always
vote as the Sun says stood for honest
money and Maryland gave Mckinley a
plurality of 32,224. This year, how
ever, the Stm supported Bryan and
thought the voters of Maryland would
follow its lead and give Bryan a
plurality. But the Sun was wrong and
Maryland gave Mckinley a plurality
of about $4,000. Thus the Sun has
ost prestige, although it may plumeit

plurality was reduced few thousand

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
COMPRISES BEST TALENT
WILL CONVENE IN SMYRNA OPERA HOUSE
ON DECEMBER S, 6 AND 7.
Program Arranged that Should Interest the
Citizens of this TOwn-NO Finer Talent
Was Ever Advertised for Smyrna.

The Annual Session of the Kent
County Teachers Institute Is only
three weeks off from to-day, but none
too soon for our citizens to think the
matter over and encourage it with
their hearty support. The official pro-
gram is complete, and Judging from
its personel the talent for this year is
no exception to the rule, and in fact
gives promise of being the best com
bination ever brought here.
The day sessions are public and
free to all. This being the case our
citizens should greet all sessions with
large attendances: Much may be
learned, and much profit may be de-
rived from close attention to the day
lectures. The evening sessions are
depended on to defray the expenses OF
the Institute, and Superintendent
Tipdal has placed the Course Tickets
at 81. 90 each. This includes reserved
seats for the three nights. Such a
combination as will be given is rarely
offered to the people of Smyrna, and
the low price of course ticket should
keep none from availing themselves OF
the opportunity of attending it. Chart
will be on sale at Weldon's (formerly
Hoffecker's) drug store, a week in ad
vance. Following is the program:

poster containing the portraits of all of
the candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin,
Breckinridge and Lane, Douglas and
Johnson and Bell and Everett. The
poster contained the platforms of the
various parties. There was some un-
certainty in that campaign. My pre-
ceptOf was an enthusiastic Douglas
man and wanted to bet all he had on
his candidate. 1t was my first expert

1t Is Ones Duty to Present Pleas
ing Appearance.
This story is told in Denver of man
who was once leading merchant
there. In the early days of the city
he walked its streets, out of work and
money. He was poorly clad, but neat
and clean. He sought employment
from a prosperous grocer and said he
was willing to do anything. The mer-
chant at length sent him into his Gel
lar to clean out room so fOully dirty
that many n common labOrer had re-
fused to enter it. When the young
man appeared in the evening, he was
as neat in his appearance as he had
been in the morning. OF course the
merchant thought he had done little or
nothing. But when he saw the cellar,
clean and fresh, he said to the young
man:
you've not only shown that you are
willing to work, but also that you have
some respect for yourself. | guess III
give you job"
This young man, who in a few years
became the head of the selfsame busi-
ness. realized the important fact that
the worker is often scrutinized as close
| ly as his work.
1t is a mans duty toward his fellow
man to dress as well as he can afford
! to. Nowhere in nature does the poorly
dressed man find any excuse for his
lack Even the lowest forms of animal
and plant life are clothed in pleasing
