Mr.. Collisions tirade against England
and his complaint against THAT coun.
try for spending millions of money in
the war in South Africa instead Oh
feeding her subjects of India, puts in
mind of the cumming rogue who calls
out "pick-pocket." in order that by
diyerting our attention to others he
may effect his own escape with the
plunder 'he has made. England may be
right or she may be wrong i'm prose-
cutting the war in South Africa, and
she might probably do more than she
mas and is doing for her subjects in
India But whether or not THAT does
excuse Mr.. Collision and every profess
ing Christian performing the duties
incumbent on them as professors of
Christianity.
Mr. Collisions admiration for Paul
Kruger is indeed. very characteristic.
He tells us THAT President Dom Kruger
gave the English everything he had
before he went to war, and referred
them to the S9rd psalm, and that he
breaches Christ and Him crueified
every Sunday to his people. Yes in
deed, we have read of such can't and
hyprocisy. Religion ON the lips. an
open Bible in the hand and cupidity
and deceit in the heart and in the will.
1t is such pharisaical prevention to su-
perior religion and virtue uesubstituted by
professors of both, who are generally
the least performers of either. that has
rendered it necessary in the opinion of
the bishops of the NJ. E. Church to re-
quest that the Church set apart week
of fasting and prayer. The whole war
IN South Africa has arisen out of Pau1
kruger's Discrimination to do INTO
others as he would that they should do
UNTO him. From the FIRST he has per-
sistently refused to keep his promises
both verbal and written. All that Eng
land has ever contended for with Presi-
dent Kruger has been the honora BILE
observance in respect to equal rights.
He provoked the war by seizing the
Netherland railroad line and cutting
the telegraph wires. Sympathize as
much as we may with the
Boer we MUST recognize that he is
ignorant, bigoted and unprogressive
He stands in the way of the mental
development Of the country, and no
American that loves his country's in
stitutions can rejoice at the humili-
ation of England. if such is to be the
case. ANTI -JTNGO.

FELTON,, Del, April 13.
On last Tuesday Mr.. John Walheater
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. George w
Walheater, of Woodside, met with a
very serious accident in the Reuben
Harrington woods near Fork Landing
He was there superintending the cut
ting of some trees. He had two men
cutting and, as ONE of the trees was
falling after having been cut, the top
as lis often the case, caught in an ad-
joining tree
Rumor has it that one of the men
called to Mr.. Walheater to look out
while others say the men did not call,
nor will not say that they knew ONE
word about it.
Mr.. WalheaIter must have looked up.
for the moment he did he received a
stunning blow ON his forehead and it
crushed his forehead and upper cheek
bones i'm, and he was in terrible CON
dition. The men. of course, were badly
frightened and first did not know what
to do.
In few minutes they decided to put
the horse to the dearborn wagon and
drive with him to his home at the old
Bonmill Mill, near Frederica. 1t was
a very rough ride for the unfortunate
man to ride ON hard boards for five
long miles.
DR. Hoey of Frederica. with DR.. Mas
sey of Canterbury. were summoned in
post haste and did all they could for
their patient. Your correspondents was
told that the doctors say, and no doubt
it would have been the case. that had
Mr.. Walheater heceived the blow ON
the top of his head instead of ON the
forehead, he would have been Instantly
killed.
John. as he was generally called by
his friends and acquaintance, is a fine:
honest, industrious and genial i'm his
manners. His many friends and ac
quaintances do hope that he may soon
recover from his very had accident.
AT this writing Mr.. Walheater is doing
as we'll as cam be expected.

William Short S crew. with a large
number of boats, are encamped in Mis-

sturgeon business this season, owing to

small catch of the past year by the
large mum mber of men who engage in the
business each year, that the sturgeon
are falling off materially.
The cool and high winds THAT have
been blowing from the north and
