BISHOP DENOuNCES GREED
AND IMPROPER PLAYS.
His Palm Sunday Visit at Christ
Church, Dover, and st.
Paul's. Camden.

Bishop Coleman preached at Christ
Church ON Sunday morning to a con-
gregation which completely filled the
church. His text was Romans 147:
For none OF us liveNh to himself, and
no man dieth to himself" and his sub
ject was unselfishness He talked ON
patriotism to the church, especially
during the special season Of
fasting and prayer, and referred to the
patriotic mayors of certain towns who
had objected to the presentation Of
'notoriously improper plays which
have been profaning the holy season
throughout the country" He said that
he often wished Socrates might come
among us, as he did in Athens in all its
glory, and cry out, when the public
speakers were addressing the populace
upon Courage" saying: ''Sirs, what
do you mean by courage?" He said
that it is the courageous man vino is
needed in the public places, and now
that this state is entering upon new
struggle for place and position, men
who will guard the sanctity of the
home, and forget self in matters Of
public moment, must be chosen if we
are patriotic. The Bishop spoke of a
parishioner who had been pronounced
dangerously i'll with nervous prostra-
tion. and who had declared to him that
it was not overwork, but worry alt the
treatment Of the public funds by men
who had gotten into power The alarm
at this systematic looting of the pub
lie treasury had brought him to a sick
bed
AT the close of the sermon the Bishop
confirmed class of five candidates
Revs. G.. E. Bond and J. P DuHamel
also assisted in the services.
In the evening Bishop Coleman con-
firme da class of seven at st. Paul's
Chapel. Camden.

QUICKLY RID
Of CHILDREN
Woman Disposes of Three of Her
Offspring in Three Years.
ONE FOUND IN A SOAP BOX.
But Coroner's Jury To-day Found no
Direct Testimony to Hold Julia
Holiday for Infanticide.

Coroner Knots and jury of maui
sitlon were kept busy all this morning
Investigating a deploable case which
came to the notice of the police of Do
yer yesterday
Dogs had scratched up the body of
child in Christ Church cemetery and it
was found to have been buried on Mar.
8, in a rude soap box, only few inches
under ground. The body was identified
rs the child of Julia Neal alias Holli-
day
Evidence before the Coroner to-day
showed that the woman has Doasted
that her illegitimate children should
never see the light of day. and that
,hree infants which she bore have. in
three successive years. shared the same
fate Of mysterious deaths and rude bur
als. The coroner, made thorough
investigation of the case to-day and,
while the evidence was strong against
the woman in a circumstantial way, it
was NOT sufficiently direct. in the minds
of the jurors to hold her for trial on
the charge of infanticide. almost as
serious charge as murder.
The jury's verdict was death from un-
known causes. after DR., A. R. Davis
had testified that the -mortem
held by him showed no evidences that
the infant was not still born, as the
woman claimed. The jury, however,
recommended a severe admonition
from the coroner to Julia Holiday and
her release only on parole for good
behavior

State Senator ] Frank Alice, who is
State Chairman Of the Union Republ-

another conference with President Me-

President had personally expressed a
desire to see the memorial presented
TO the Regulars by the Union Republi-

fully the Union side. President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna are both
anxious that the Republicans should
end their quarrel: especially anxious
are they that Delaware should send her
three electors and her two new sena-
tors to the aid Of the administration
forces.
The new developments in the Ad-

hundred citizens of Kent county, Del,
asking Congress to appropriate suffi-

TROLLEY COMPANY

The new litigation against the Del

Higgins and Hilles. of Wilmington,
representing Mrs. Cooper. The rail-

any intention of crossing the Cooper

BUSINESS WILL BOOM
IF PEACHES HOLD ON.
Prospects of Buds Cause Some Figur-
ing Which Shows That Million
Dollars Will Come Here,

A peach crop means much to the
Delaware farmers, and nothing that
grows, perhaps, is given more atten-
ton or watched with more anxiety by
growers, shippers or people generally
in the early spring than is the welfare
OF the peach bud. AS the crop has been
a practical and almost total failure for
several seasons pss- aad as this has
meant the loss Of tn nssnds - dollars,
much anxiety was felt regarding its
probable fate for the coming season.
The mildness of a portion of the win
ter frightened many of the watchful
growers, but following this came the
cold1 I'd backward spring, which con-
ditto still exist, and this is retard-
ing Tie swelling of the buds, so that
universally the prediction now is that
the entire peninsula will be blessed
this year with one of the best peach
crops enjoyed for several years.
AS an indication Of what is at stake
in the success or failure of the crop
for the people of Delaware and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, 1t may be
noted that an average crop of say
100000 baskets, selling for so cents
basket would mean a distribution OF
$1,000,00O. In addition thousands of
dollars would be paid to railroad and
steamboat companies. to extra labor
for harvesting the crop, to basket fac
tories and their employees, most Of
which would drift to the local mer-
chants for supplies. and readily it will
be seen why the interest in the welfare
of the crop is 50 universal. The sue
cess Of the peach crop means prosperi-
ty all over the section.

NOT TEA, BUT
POISON OAK.
This is What the Family of
Captain flensch Drank.
THE MISTAKE WAS DISCOVERED
While the Family We're Drinking
the Tea Thinking it Sassafras
Tea, Widely Known Spring
Tonic.--Medica1 Aid Pre-
vented Casualties.

The family of Capt. A. G. Mensch. a
prominent and well-known farmer re-
siding near Rising Sun, consisting of
himself and wife and their daughter
Miss Ella, made very narrow escape
from being fatally poisoned on Monday
and as it is they are yet suffering Sc
verely.
1t Will be known that many persons
in this vicinity regard sassafras tea as
a very healthy Spring tonic and Cap
tain Mensch is no exception to this
rule. One of the farm boys, Leslie
Springer, was directed to procure the
sassafras and he, not being we'll posted
brought in bunch of small roots of
poison oak instead Of the roots de-
sired.
Not noticing the mistake Miss Ella
made the tea of which the family par
took. But while they were drinking 1t
another boy employed about the place,
named Conner, discovered the mistake,
and no doubt his discovery saved them
much suffering or possibly their lives
All of them were made very i'll, the
symptoms being a swelling of the
glands Of the throat and face and nau-
see. Prompt medical attention, how
ever, relieved the suffering
IL was narrow escape, and the fam
lily realize now that extreme care is de-
manded in handling herbs and roots,
especially when they are desired for
medicinal or edible purposes

Interesting Cases Before Magistrate.

Before Magistrate Peter L. Cooper
on Friday afternoon, Michael Powell,
OF Hartley, brought suit against Isaac
Robinson, the Baltimore Gamer, TO re-
cover the value of one and half acres
of tomatoes which Powell sold to Rob
insOn all his Hartley cannery last sum
mer. Powell delivered TO the cannery
277 baskets of tomatoes and had near
~ dis many more to deliver, when, upon
an attempt TO deliver them, they We're
refused, on the ground that there was
a quarter Of an acre more than had
been bargained for. The amount sued
for was SIS. The referees, Messrs.
Charles Denney, John Satterfield and
Joseph I. Hoffecker, after hearing the
evidence, awarded Powell $50 and costs
A suit which created some excite
ment was brought before Magistrate
P. L. Cooper few days ago, in the
way of a dog case. Enoch David, a
wheelwright of this town, brought suit
against Walter McGinnes for damages,
David claiming that the canine was
poisoned by arsenic, and that McGin-
mes was the suspected poisoner. 1t was
proven that McGinnes had purchased
some meat at butchers in Dover ,and
also some arsenic from drug store,
Upon an examination of the stomach
of the dog, which David had made, ii
was found that THE dog had died from
arsenical poison. Magistrate Cooper
decided that there was no cause for
action and the case was dismissed.
