THESE MEN
WON'T MARRY.
Young Men OF Smyrna
Have Formed a Bach
el0r's Club.

! a ulSpdtGH from SllVTHd 10 lne
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
Ever since the recent annual
meeting of the O. B. j. H. Club and
it's election of officers the pretty and
eligible young women of all over
Kent county have been disturbed
far beyond the ordinary.
The o. B. J. II. Club is secret
organization Of the hands6mest
young men OF Smyrna, and they
have convenantcd one with the other
never to marry. 1t is a bachelors
club IN reality. The most alarm
ing part of it is that its member
ship may be increased.
The Bachelors Club (and that is
all Of it's name that the public can
havc) consists Of some of the most
promising young men in Delaware.
Walter W. Hynson. bookkceper OF
the Fruit Growers National Bank,
is the president. Frank Hynssn,
his brother, an expert electrici-
an, graduate of Lehigh. superin-
tendent OF Smyrna's s electric light
system, is one OF the Committee on
Club Rooms. George d. TAYLOR,
an electrician, is the vice-prcsidcnt.
Gilbert S. FAIRIES, a remarkably
handsome young fellow. is the sec
retary and reporter, although what
there is for him to report is amattcr
of speculation. Charles ]. Sudler.
the treasurer, is teller of the Ma
tional Bank of Smyrna, and stands
high in financial circles. ]. B.
Krusen, chairman of the Standing
Committee, Smyrna's leading un-
dertaker and man Of immaculate
appearance. is one of the clubs
most earnest workers. Edward NJ.
Boyd is connected with SMYRNA
clothing house. John L. Lloyd, a
travelling, salesman is anotheroft the
leading spirits.
The young women of Smyrna,
who are also exceedingly progress
sivc socially, at rsttricd tothwart |
this bachelor movement by organ
izing a Bachelor Girls Club. but |
first one member dropped off and
then another until it passed into 4
state of innocuous desuetude. In
tears and almost in desperation
thev sought the counsel of some of
their married sisters as to what
best to do. These odlcr heads
counselcd the girls to get up an
''Old Maids Convention and in
that public presence, with all the
towrspeople assembled. ridiculc
these isolated but temptingly hand
some fellows, until they would be
to hang their heads and
break up their little game.
The "Old Maids Convention
vas held and it was 4 complete So
;ial and financial success. 1t was
,atronized by some of the most in.
luential people of the town. and the
proceeds went to some charitable
But it was a failure in
'reakino up the Bachelors Club.
The girls had an imitation stock
market, and called off the fellows

HOW TO ATTAIN UNTO OLD AGE.

Pope Leo must be nearly a hundred
years old and this is the way in which
Pope Leo XIII, passes the summer days.
As soon as the birds begin TO twitter In
the Vatican gardens, and the great bell
OF ST. Peters strikes elk o'clock, His
Holiness arises and is assisted in his
toilet by Pho Centra who Is his grand
and dignifed valet. After celebrating
mass, and assisting at a second by one
OF it's chaplains the Pope breakfasts, and
then sits down to his pastime OF reading
the classics or composing Latin poetry,
for which he has rare talent. At Gals

retary OF State Is admitted, and the two

ness together until ~ o'clock. A frugal
luncheon ia then served, and afterwards
the aged Pontiff takes an hours sleep.
But then Leo NlII Immediately resumes
his work, remaining at his desk till
nearly six O'Clock, when he walks, or
drives about the beautiful Vatican
grounds accompanied by n Cardinal or
prelate Of his Court and escorted by two
of the Pontihcal Palace guards. The day
closes with rosary and evening prayers,
at which all Of his immediate encourage
assists,
Beginning the day with reading the
classics and ending II with prayers isnot
a bad program. Combining those feat
ures with an hours sleep in the middle
Of the day makes scheme Of living that
is hard TO beat. OF course, II is to be-
considered that the Pope pays some at.

man, Here is recipe to attain n grand
old age, not TO say immortality.
Whether we are followers of the Pope or

Fltzslmnons Is The Fayorlte.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 9.-Probably no
sporting event in recent years has called
together so large gathering Of fight
followers as that which will attend the
twenty-five round bout at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night, between
Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Rubin.
Sporting men from a distance have al
ready begun TO arrive in the city and
before the fighters step into the ring to
put up their hands there will not be a
single section Of the country but what
will be represented. Ruhlin's victory
over sharkey has made him quite
popular, but the wise ones fail to see
how he can defeat the Australian, and in
view Of this fact, the odds, as usual, are
in Fitzsimmon's favor, with scarcity of
Rubin money in sight.
