ADVANCE SALE HEAVY.
Considerable Demand for Seats to Presbyter-
ian Entertainment Monday Night.

By one of those strange directions,
or rather misdirections, the chart for
the entertainment next Monday night
at the Opera House, "The Return from
Oklahoma" a sequel to the "Old
Maids Convention" was not placed at
the drug store of James P. Hoffecker
until 10 o'clock yesterday. Those de-
string reserved seats began assembling
at o'clock, and by 10 O'Clock, when
the chart was delivered at the store,
there were forty or fifty people in wait
ing, and they fairly clambered over
each other to get desired seats marked.
1t was rather hard on the man with
the pencil, to say nothing of the gen
eral business of the store, but it was a
high compliment to the ladies who had
rendered the "Old Maids Convention"
so well. A lady from Philadelphia,
who remembered the long line of peo-
pie in front of the theaters when popu-
lar plays were presented, remarked
"that Smyrna was getting more like
the city every day."

SMYRNA FACTORIES NEED WORKERS.
Textile Industries, Where Female Help is Re-
quired, Want More Employees.

1t goes without saying that Smyrna
is in constant need of more help in the
line where deft fingers are required to
increase the output. We have three
factories all of which could give more
employment than they do, and they
think at remunerative prices.
Presuming that the stock of wage
wOrkers-that is those who are salts
fed with a fair equivalent for their
work-have situations at one or the
other of our factories, then the fact
stands out prominently that we need
an increase of population. For such
persons dwellings, can be furnished.
There are many families in which the
females are the ''bread winners" To
such Smyrna offers peculia? advan1a-
ges. 1t may be possible that there are
families in the vicinity who do not
know but would be glad to, that steady
employment can be had without seper-
ating permantly from their homes. To
all such we would say, "come and

DRIFT OF DELAWARE POLITICS.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF DEWEY FOR
PRESIDENT STIRS DEMOCRATS.
Kenney Out for Bryau.-The Union Re-
pubIcans Confident of Their Strength
in the State.

BRYAN Democrats have been some
what agitated by the announcement OF |
the candidacy of Admiral George |
Dewey for President, says the Phila-
delphia Record. The Bryan leaders
are now declaring that the delegates to
the Kansas City Convention should be
instructed by the State Convention to
support Colonel Bryan and also plat
form agreeable to him.
United States Senator Kenney dur
ing the week has come out openly for
Colonel Bryan, and predicts his noml-
nation without serious opposition.
Some time ago Mr.. Kenney was rather
lukewarm toward the Nebraska caDdl-
date, and would have been willing to
Join in a new movement. Mr.. Kenney
lately has been doing big work in the
lower counties in building his fences
and he will have considerable say in
the State Convention.
The Union Republican organs are
heartily supporting the action of their
State Convention, and the tenor of
their comments is that, if necessary,
they will fight the battle next fall with
straight ticket. They would much
rather, however, have some sort OF a
compromise by which the State officers
would not be lost.
The Addicks men appear to be conf
dent that part of their delegation will
be admitted to the Philadelphia con
vention. Most of the political prophets
here say that both delegations
will be admitted to the Philadelphia
convention, and each delegate viii
have half vote.
The terms of thirty Senators expire
in March next, says the Wilmington
Sun, and to hold bare majority il
the Senate the Republicans must elec
successors to eighteen.
A glance at State politics will shov
!. where the chances for the election c
two Republican United States Senator
, lie. The next State Legislature wi
= be Republican body. There will b
a at least thirty Republicans, out {
4 the fifty-two members of the Senat
), and House, and of these the Unio
Republicans will have at least twenty
: two, more than two-thirds of the RI
: publican membership. These Unio
4 Republicans will stand from the be
q ginning to the end of the session fo
the election of two Republicans to th
United States Senate, and the onl
way which that can be prevented wi
be for the Anti-Addicksites to refus
- to vote with the Union Republican
This is the situation.

KENT COUNTY FINANCES.
The Good Results From a Change in the
Politics of the County.

Until the past few years, the Demo
Gratis for thirty years or more, had the
control of Kent county, and a large
debt had been growing, reaching the
high figures of $500 The following
statement made by the DetaOGrean
will be gratifying to the tax payers of
the county:
"The Levy Court, as it's closing act
for the month and week, authorized
County Treasurer Pennell Emerson to
pay $4,000 on the county's floating in
debtedness. A little over year ago,
it took like action and paid off about
$4,000 of the debt.
cit has cut down an appropriation
that has annually been paid to the
Trustees of the Poor of 81, 900 to So, 900
and the $4,000 thus saved each year
will enable the court to pay off debt
of So, 600 which the trustees have asked
the country to assume, and to relieve
them of.
eft has collected down to within
5000 of rock bottom, the taxes due
last year, and would not recognize any
collector as eligible for re-appointment
who had not returned every hundred
dollars On his duplicate.
cit has authorized its attorney,
James L. Wolcott, to Immediately pro.
ceed against the arrearages in taxes fo1
previous years, which arreages amounts
to over $12, 900, and which, too, will bt
applied to the county's debt.
'It has reduced the county's certifi
cate Indebtedness, therefore, to $S,
and with the $4,000 due and collecti
BILE from the bonds of tax collectors
this will almost be liquidated. Thi
means before many more months, {
materially reduced tax rate throughou
Kent county, and this is why the peo
pie are pleased.

REV. HILLS MASTERLY SERMON.
A Fine Discourse at Asbury NJ. E. Church
Sunday Morning.

The language of the Apostle Paul,
''For 1 am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, which is the power of God
unto salvation to every one who be-
lieveth, j." served as the text for mas
terly discourse by the Rev. G. A. Hill
on Sunday morning. For fifty min
utes he held the closest attention of his
audience as he unfolded the pO1Cer of
God in the natural world as we'll as
the efficacy of the redemption scheme
in the elevation of fallen race through
the gift of his Son. The most striking
points were where the Gospel was put
as the essential thing over church,
creed, baptism, moral living, support
of the sanctuary, &C., and, the uniUer-
salty of Gods love-to every one who
believeth. In dwelling on the latter,
he referred to the recent action of DIR.
Hills, of Brooklyn, saying he did not
wonder that the brilliant pastor of
Plymouth Church could no longer sup
port the doctrine of Election and Re-
probation, a thing he could never be-
lieve, for a God who would willingly
punish an individual without cause
may be the God of creed, but it is not
the God of love that the Bible portrays.
The peroration was an impressive pre-
sentation of the humiliation, power
and love of the Son of God through
| the Gospel.

nes at Smyrna Landing Monday morn

house and endeavored to secure the
horse. In trying to hold it both the
Messrs. FAIRIES had narrow escape
from serious injuries.
The horse broke loose, ran toward
the Smyrna Transportation wharf, tore
several boards off the office in passing
and would have plunged into the
creek, had not some one headed it off.
The excited animal turned round again
and made direct headway down the
path, collided with telegraph pole,
smashed the undertaking wagon to
smithereens, and after thus extricating
itself, made for the stable in Smyrna
Fortunately no one was hurt by
the accident. W. A. FAIRIES & Bro.
