DEATH REAPS A
FULL HARVEST.
Caleb jackson and Nathaniel r, Lew
erage Respond to his Call,

Caleb jackson died ait his home in
Wyoming early Monday morning from
the effects of a cancerous affection OF
the throat from which he had been a
sufferer. He leaves a widow and six
children to mourn their loss.
The deceased was but AS years Of age,
but for years he has been prominently
identified with every interest that con-
oerned Wyoming and vicinity He was
born near Smyrna, but years ago moved
ITO Wyoming, where he spent most of
mis- useful life. He was twice married
His first wife was Miss Ada Brook, by
whom he had four children, and his
second wife, Miss Florence Clark. who
is the mother of two children. and who
survives him.
Caleb jackson was a man who was
extensively known, and wherever
known he was esteemed His popu-
larity may be estimated by the fact
that he was the only Republican ever
elected Ito the Levy Court of Kent
county from North Murderkill hundred
previous to THE adoption of the new
Constitution. And this is the only
political office he ever sought, Though
he~was repeatedly urged by his party
friends Ito allow his name to be placed
on the ticket, but excepting town
clommissionership which he held at his
DEATH he invariably refused. He was
affable, courteous, public spirited
liberal in his ideas, the soul of honor
and his acquaintance We're his friends
AS much as amy other man who
ever lived in the hundred did Calet
Jackson for the improvement and ad-
vancement of the community i'm which
he spent his life. Zone of the best
men in North Murderbill hundred has
left us, remarked friend in speaking
of him Monday, and this testimony
may be taken as the universal senti-
ment regarding the deceased His was
sterling character He came of q
long lime of ancestors noted for theil
probity and he was a worthy represen-
tative of his race.
He will be missed in Wyoming with
whose interests he was so thoroughly
identified, and he will be missed
throughout that section of the county
where he was so we'll known. Foi
wears he had been engaged in mercan.
tile business and kept the most promi-
nent establishment in the town.
When such men leave community
their departure is worthy more than
passing note. Men like Caleb Jack
son who lived for the betterment of the
community i'm it's every feature leave q
void that is keenly felt by all classes
and their epitaphs are written on mem.
ory's tablets, more deeply engraved
and more endurable than on marble
shaft.
His funeral took place this afternoon
at 1.30 O'clock, Rev. James f. Graham
officiating. Amity Lodge, No. 20, I. o
0. F., of which he was a member, had
charge of the arrangements. Interment
was made i'm Odd Fellows cemetery
Camden.

BATTLE DER BlvALvES.
Pirates and Fishermen Engage in a
Bloody Fight.

Seaford,. Del, April 14.-Reports re-
ceived from Tangier Island, Md, state
THAT bloody battle has been fought
between fishermen of Tangier Island
and oyster pirates of Taylor's Island
nearby. Taylor's Island is al small
place,and was formerly I'm
til the opening of the oyster season
when a band of oyster pirates took up
their abode there.
These pirates gave the Tangiel
Island fishermen great trouble by
dredging ON their grounds ait might
To add to the insult they sent the fish
ermen notice a few days ago to leave
the island, as they would be fired upon
1t is stated that the pirates CARRIED
out their threat and that when out in
their fish boats the Tangier fishermen
were attacked by them.
But scant details of the fight have
yet been secured but it is believed 10
have proved a disastrous one for the
pirates, as they soon fled from the vol
leys of the fishermen. Two of their
number were seen to fall overheard,
and it is believed that they were left in
the excitement. Several of the fisher
men were wounded in the fight, and
ONE may die.
The pirate band was pursued until
Taylor's Island was reached, when they
beached their boats and took to the
woods.

cited the Florida purchase and the
Seminole war which followed, and
referred to still earlier period of
the nation S history in refuting the
absurd claim that the country is in
danger from militarism:
In Washingtons administration Gen.
Wayne spent some three years in Ohio war
ring against the Tagals of that day. with
under him an army larger in proportion to
the then population of the nation than all
our present national forces, regulars and
volunteers combined, and there is just as
now as there was then.
They pulled down our flag at Hawaii. just
as they now wish to pull it down in the

cost of bloodshed and woe, we would nave
to do in the Philippines, should they be sue
cessful in this election.
Quite early in his speech Gov.
Roosevelt was interrupted by some

To refrain from doing our duty in the
world would be merely ultimately to invite
the fate of Chin. The Chinese policy has al
ways consistently been against expansion,
and she offers today the best example of the
fruits of such policy when logically car
ried out Nominally her policy has been one
of peace; in reality it has simply been one
which invites aggression from without, and
incites her own people to ferocious and hid
eous barbarism.
Expansion means in the end not war, but
peace. But like every other great good it
can normally be achieved only by effort at
the outset. Woe to MS if we shrink from
such effort. Woe if we fail to do our duty
because the first step seems hard to the
weaklings and the men of little heart. If we
are to retain the respect of mankind we
must do no wrong and must not endure
wrong from others. We must strive with
earnest good faith to secure the steady bet
terment of the populations over which we
have assumed control. We must show our
selves anxious to work in spirit of frank
and open friendship with other civilized ma
lions. But we must no more shrink from
introducing orderly liberty and just and
stable government in the islands to which
our new duty has called US than we shrank
in the past from the various kinds OF expan-
sions which carried us from Florida and
New Mexico to Alaska.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether and until the last few wears was sup
posed to be fncurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has prov
en- catarrh to be constitutional disease,and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
