the value of able and conscientious as
sistants than Mr.. Baynard, in proof of
which he has just rewarded those who
aided in making his business a sue
cess by securing an act of incorp ora
tion and under its provisions associat-
ing them with him as partners.
Henceforth the style of the house will
be the S. II. Baynard Company, and
the capital will be ample for all possi-
BILE needs of the business. With this
reorganization the establishment will
be thoroughly equipped to take advan-
tage of the improved condition of bus
mess prospects. The attractions of
this store, both extrinsically and in
trinsically, are too well known to every
Wllmingtonian to need any extended
description. At this time it presents a
very beautiful appearance with its
pretty Christmas decoration of exquis-
ite effects in all kinds of jewelry and
silverware for the holiday trade.
Watches, diamonds, rings, bracelets,
chains of all kinds, brooches, breast
pins, cuff buttons and everything in
the jewelry line may be found in pro-
fusion, in elegant designs and at prices
which contemplate a full equivalent
for the money spent.
The music department is also thor
oughly up to date, and anyone in
search of a piano, an organ, violin OF
any other musical instrument cannot
do better than give this establishment
a call. Here you are not only sure oi
getting a good instrument, but you
are also sure of not paying more for it
than it is worth. SO when you want
anything in the jewelry or the music
line do not fail to remember that The
S. H. Baynard Company offers you in
ducements surpassed by none. ADV

OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE.
S. II. Baynard Completes His Twenteth.First
Year of Business in Wilmington.

With the close of this month S. H.
Baynard the well known and popular
jeweler completes his twenty first year
In business in Wilmington This COM
ing holiday will be his seventeenth
Christmas at Fifth and Market streets,
and year by year the business has grown
until today it is second to none in this
State. One peculiar feature of Mr..
Baynard's establishment is that he and
all the employees have grown up in the
business. Every man now with him
came to him as boy and grew to man
estate in his service Another note
worthy fact is that Mr.. Baynard has
never discharged an employe since he
has been in business and has never re-
duced the wages of anyone working
for him. Nearly all of those with him
now are contempOraneous with the
business--that is, they were with him
at the start and are with him still. 1t
follows, naturally that they are all ex-
perienced men who know the goods
they handle and are familiar with the
needs of the people. Having been tu-
tored in a store where the chief maxim
is that nothing is too good for it's pat
rons and the best way to advance the
interests of a business is to protect
the interests of its customers, it comes
natural for them to be polite, obliging,
careful and above all truthful as to all
their representations. The constant
effort of all of them from Mr.. Baynard
down is to serve the people in such q
manner as to merit continuance oi
the patronage and friendship. Mr..
Baynard aims at no bazaar effects, but
studies night and day for the
best and most straightforward way
in which to supply the needs OF
the residents of this city and sur.
rounding country and the world il
general who may come to him with
their patronage. His stock comprises
the very best goods that can be pur
chased and ut fair price to the maker
fair to the dealer and fair to the pur
chaser.

both of his feet were passed over by

found necessary to amputate both of
them at the Lackawanna hospital,
where he was taken for treatment.
The accident happened about Has

short distance and then springing off.
AS he attempted to get on this par
ticular car he slipped and fell His

LECTURE BY CHAPLAIN PIERCE
Will Speak at the Penn Avenue Bap-
tist Church Thursday Evening.

Unusual interest attaches to the COM
ing Of Chaplain c. c. Pierce. who Is to
lecture in the Penn Avenue Baptist
church next Thursday evening. Bishop
Potter, Of New York, in an open let
ter to the clergy OF America, says
from personal observation during his
recent visit to Manila, that no one
has rendered the cause of Christianity
such distinguished service in the Phil
ippines as has Chaplain Pierce. Since
his return he has given most valued
advice to the government in its plans
for the civil. military and religious
matters affecting the future of the
Philippines.
Many people are interested to learn
about the new people who have by the
fortunes of war come under the protec-
tion of our flag, and no one is better
able to speak upon these matters Of
vital interest in the islands than Chap
lain Pierce. He has consented to give
this address under the auspices Of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor of the Penn Avenue church,
and the committee have placed the
cards of admission at 25 cents. Rev.
DR.. Pierce, the pastor, says an infor-
NAL reception will be hold In the lower
temple of the church after the lecture
to afford an opportunity to meet the
chaplain socially.

purpose. The Philadelphia branch. of
which this district is part, has ap-
portioned to it $21 900. AS there are
something like $4,000 women members
of the Methodist church in the branch
Mrs. Pearce spoke of the great posi-
bilities if only every woman would
give 90 cents for a thank offering to
the Twentieth Century fund. Mrs
Pearce's address was such that it could
not but inspire her hearers with the
beautiful enthusiasm so characteristic
of this talented lady.

of Men at Work Yesterday.

Contractor Peter Stipp began work
yesterday morning on the extensive i'm
provements to be made in Nay Aug
park. He will push the work as rapid
ly as possible, and, while under the
provisions of the contract he has until
September to finish the work. he will
make an earnest effort to complete t
by the middle of the summer. so that
people may have the benefit of the i'm
provements for portion of the year
at least.
The work which Mr.. Stipp will do
will be done at the southeastern por-
ton of the park entirely. Instead of
spending the money at their control to
fix up all of the park little. the park
commissioners are determined to per-
manently and completely improve one
portion only.
All of the land in this section of the
park will be graded off and upwards
of a mile and a quarter of macadem-
lied roadways and walks will be con-
structed.
A band stand of handsome appear
ance and commodious size will also
be built. The swimming pool will not
be constructed this year. That is de-
fintely known.

Latham, of Ash stret, who were ar
rested last week by Patrolmen Thomas
