sidered for the nomination for General
Assembly, but it was said that DR..
Downes could not possibly accept.
The name of John H. Scotten of Little
Crekk was also conspicuously mem

Shockley, will go to work uninstruct-

vention. MIR. Ridgelys friends urged
that his achievements and zeal at the

years, as well as his sterling personal
"OlIn' are SuHlclent guaranty of the

our brother, John H. Bateman, has
been removed by death from our

Brother Bateman was for many years
a members, record cur very highest
appreciation of the valuable service
rendered to the church by our deceas-
ed brother, and while we bow in hum
BILE submission TO Almighty God, we
can not but feel that the Church has
sustained a great loss in the going of
a man who was SO wise in his counsels
and so liberal and loyal in his spirit.

luton be sent to the family and other
copies furnished the local papers for

CAPITOL HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS
Remodeling the We11-Known Hos
telry into a Modern and Elegant
Public Inn.

CAPITOL HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. George A. Millington, proprietor,
and James B. Millington, manager OF
the Capitol Hotel, are working wond-
ers in dhe way of Improvements. The
new manager appears to know the
wants of the travelling public and
neither time or money is taken in ac-
count when he determines a certain
improvement or addition is a necessity
to his patrons comfort.
The new bar and bouffet has arrived
from the manufacturers, Himmel &
Sons, Baltimore, Md, and is the most
elegant ever put up in Delaware.
Three new rooms are being built in
the rear for the convenience Of patrons
Of the caffa. Every room in the house
is being refurnished, papered and
painted. Large rooms are being added
for caucusses and conventions. We
are informed the new manager has re-
duced the prices to permanent board
ers and members of the Legislature
when in session.
A first-class hotel brings to a town
many visitors and benefits each and
every inhabihant. Consequently we
welcome to our town such public
spirited new conner as Mr.. James B.
Millington, and extend our best wishes
to the old host, Mr.. George A. Mil
lington, who retires to his farm from
active service after almost forty years
in active duty.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT
IN KENT FARM LANDS.
Mon Who Are Spending Money on
Their Soil Are Seeing Most
Satisfactory Returns.
Bowers, September 5.

Bowers, september ..
Quite number of persons from the
surrounding country and towns spent
Sunday last here. They enjoyed the
delightful and gentle breezes that blew
from the south by southeast during
the day.
Before the rising of September sun
on Saturday last, scores from dis
tance had put in their appearance and
were busy taking from Murderkill
river the Delaware lbivalve. BY noon
Une crowd had Increased to hundreds
Those who could not get supplied with
boats, waded into the river with tubs,
buckets, or any thing that was suf-
ticient TO hold oysters, and picked
them up. 1t is estimated by good
judges, since Saturday last up to this
wriuing, chat over $500 bushels OF
oysters have been taken from the wat
ers of Murderhilr river. They are
plentiful in either river, more so than
they have been for several years, but
very small and poor. They are well
favored, and from indications of the
present week there is no law against
taking oysters under size as well as in
quantities from the two rivers.
The palatable rock fish, the beautiful
perch, the Timber eel and the delicious
trout are being caught daily this
beautiful autumn Weather.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
the past week of visiting one of the
fertile farms of DR.. Thomas d. Hub
bard, near this place. While viewing
a field containing a number of acres,
it was surprising to see that little Del
aware contained such fertile soil and
grew such large corn as the writer had
the pleasure e: seeing. Two stalks
were found, one of which measured 1S
feet, inches, carrying two mammoth
inches, carrying three ears, but not
so large as the first stalk. These are
only specimens of the corn that fills
THE doctors prolific field.
During the past twenty years the
farm land in this vicinity has been
materially improved, both in produc-
tion and cleanliness. Many buildings
have been replaced by new and more
modern houses, many farms have
changed from that shiftlessness to
thrift, from poverty to plenty, from
disgrace to honor and credit; and
when few more of the useless misers
who are not willing to invest one dol
lar in any thing for improvement for
fear they will not get ten in return,
Iare called to that world unknown. i'm
provements will increase tenfold over
the land of the free and the home of
the brave.

The National Federation OF Labor
recommends the municipal ownership
of public utilities and in SO doing
they have struck the key note to an
increase of prosperity wherever their
advice is needed. Whenever any en-
terprise depending upon the public
patronage for its support is a paying
institution for its owners, it is one
which the municipality would derive
a profit from possessing, and that
profit will thereby be more equitably
divided among the people than where
it accumulates to the sole. advantage
of the trust. Public ownership Of
coal mines, railroads and other similar
institutions now operated by the
trust, would undoubtedly relieve the
present condition Of the poorer class.

tribution Of wealth. On the other
hand the municipal government must
exercise great care lest it may invest
in losing proposition for in that case
the people must suffer the loss. Had
the city of Barre invested the same
amount of capital In the establish
ment of an electric railroad, or some
equally wise financial proposition,
that was paid out for such a losing
venture as the water works deal evil

BARRE, VI, DECEMBER IL. 1900

Secretary John Hay the head of
the department of the state at Wash
ington has courageously exposed him
self to the poisoned darts Of the poll :
tical huntsmen who are already
preparing their victims for the
grand slaughter Of the individuality
Of the principals in the national cam
paign Of 1904. Few men in public
life have performed their duties with
as little censure and with as great
success as has Mr.. Hay. Every task
that has been set for him has seemed
to be ladder set before him by a
superhuman power that he might
climb up to still higher position
in the esteem of his fellow country
men who have watched his career.
1t would be decidedly wrong to at
tempt to detract one iota from his
glory by setting up the claim that &C.
cident and good luck are responsible
for the reputation he has attained as
a diplomat. Such results as he has
accomplished are brought about only
by men VINO are leaders Of their race
and masters Of their craft. Mr..
Hay has long been recognized by
the world as priceless treasure
to bis country, but his latest triumph
eclipses all bis previous victories and
crowns him as king Of all diplomatists
of modern times. He played with
the representatives of the other pow.
ers In the arrangement of terms for
Chinese settlement as cat toys with
a mouse and he was so far the super.
ior Of his colleagues and his victory
was SO complete that only after a
contemplation Of many weeks have
they awakened to realize that their
cherished plan to gloat over barbar-
GUS revenge on their Chinese victims
was deftly foiled by an unassuming
American who stood alone against
them all. So it is that Mr.. Hay has,
through his own remarkable ability,
become the peer of Benjamin Frank
lin and the idol of his people. Politi.
cal leaders are on the watch for such
men and before he realizes it Mr.. Hay
is apt to be swept into the vortex that
is ever ready to welcome a man of his
stamp.
