large church in Indianapolis, but felt he

the masses. He started work at laboring
and has kept it up. He has, however,
continued his preaching.
He and his son, Slavens McNutt,
started from Philadelphia for this city
yesterday morning on their bicycles. At
Chester tire burst, and they were COM
PEELED to walk the remainder OF the
way.
Mr.. McNutt's address was very inter
Getting. He said that the people should
leave the overcrowded cities and 90 back
to the lands. Ifchickens are overcrowded
in pen they fight among themselves,
and he held it was the same with crowd
ing people together in the large cities.

Mr.. McNutt and explained some Single

DRUG STORE
CATCHES FIRE.

DR.. Theodore Becker and wife and
mother-in-law, Mrs. Pnrdee, had mar
row escape from being suffocated by
smoke while asleep at their home. No.
Sol Poplar street early yesterday morn
ing.
1t was due alone to the vigilance OF
Officers Shields and Maloney that their
lives were saved. The officers were in
the vicinity of the drug store and
dwelling house of DR.. Becker, No. COL
Poplar street, shortly before 4.47 o'clock
yesterday morning, when they smelled
smoke and discovered that it came from
the Becker house.
The officers felt the necessity OF
prompt action and at once raped ON the
door so as to awaken the inmates. As
there was no response they thought that
they might already be overcome by
smoke, and forced open the door.
The officers rushed upstairs when the
inmates were soon awakened. DIR. Beck
or got his wife and mother-in-law safely
downstairs A great volume of smoke
started to pour through the house.
DR.. Becker suddenly disappeared and
was believed TO have gone to the third
floor for something. 1t was feared that
he had been overcome and Ofhcer
Shields volunteered to rescue him. He
started up stairs through the dense and
deadly smoke with lantern in his
hand. He was almost overcome by the
smoke when he reached the bath room
on the second floor. He, however, by
sllpcrhuman effort, reached window
and threw it open. He then continued
his search for DR.. Becker. He made
three attempts and finally reached the
third floor to find that DR.. Becker was
not there.
The brave officer after short rest at
an open window, hurried downstairs and
was thoroughly exhausted when he
reached the open air.
Dir. Becker instead of going upstairs,
had run TO the Delaware Truck House
and had hardly arrived there when
Officer Maloncy, who ran to Fourth and
Poplar streets, sent in an alarm from
box 213.
The fire had started in lot of rubbish
between the front and back cellars and
was extinguished by the Washington
and Phoenix chemical engines. The loss
to the stock, which is partly insured, will
be considerable The damage to tho
property was not 50 great.
A hole was burned through the floor
and the flames were making good head
way when discovered.
The store will be closed until the
insurance is adjusted.

MRS. NATIONS
CRUSADE.

The Rev. W. il. S. Murray, pastor Of
st. I'aul's NJ. Il. Church, preached an
eloquent sermon last night on the subject
as Mrs. Nation q DebOra or Joan Of
Arc" An unusually large congregation
was present and excellent music was
furnished by the choir He took his
text from the fifth chapter IS 80 verses
of Acts.
DR.. Murray said: "Gamaliel's &dyice
was founded on history and common
sense to let the Apostles alone, for If
their work was not Of God it would come
to an end, but if of God, to oppose it,
would be to fight against God.
Mrs. Nation for smashing joints and
fixtures in Kansas has been arrested but
has nevc, been convicted on a single
charge. Saloons and joints in Kansas
have no protection in law. The place
and fixtures are not property according
to the law but nuisances. Mrs. Nation
enters the saloon proclaiming that she
does SO in the name of the State. lifts
her Ratchet and saloonists flee before
her.
1.-The spirit that stirred Debora, joan
of Are, John Brown, and the Crusaders
of Ohio, has aroused Mrs. Nation to
stand for law against law-breakers. l
am for prohibiting of the liquor traffic
root and branch, but every saloonkeeper
who has paid for his license and keeps
the laws of his State ought to be pro-
tected by the State. We need crusade
in Wilmington. Law abiding saloon
keepers ought to unite with the Law
and Order League and all kindred So
cieties against all speakcasies and clubs
dispensing alcoholic liquors and clean
them out.
81 am informed that there is more
wickedness in Wilmington now than
for many years, and that the officers
whose sworn duty it is to execute the
laws, know it and yet wait for citizens
to bring them the evidence.
1.-The press of the country has turned
nil its power against Mrs. Nation, one
ed the press in condemning her. Why
not condemn the law-brcakers? Why
not illuminate against illegal selling Of
intoXicants? Why not say word for
outraged decency and in favor Of the
constitution adopted by the people to
forever prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants?
II arraign onicialdom of Delaware for
neglect of duty. The executors Of the
city of Wilmington for shutting their
eyes to the wrongs and unisances all
about them. Mrs. Nation is cann0nadpd

THERE appears to be DISPOSE
ton on the part of some men to cut
down the emolumeuts Of the sheriff
OF New Castle county. during the
present term. If any legislation
is passed, the bill should be so
worded that it will not affect the
present sheriff, only his successors.
The Republican party should look
after their people as carefully as
the Democratic party does after
thelrs. We don believe in extrav.
-agance or in rarsimony or hypo-
critical reforms that strike the men
who are enjoying the same things
the Democratic officials enjoy ed for
years. Party policy does no: con-
sist in robbing the tax payers, but
in taking care OF the men who con-
trlbuted to the success OF the Re-
publican party last November.
Some men strain at gnat and
swallow a camel, and these sort of
Republicans are found in all Legis-
lative bodies. Few men become
statesmen but many are chosen 10

ing before the public once. New

LEGISLATURES can make laws,
but any man with a $40 note in his
pocket can employ an attorney to
prove before the court that the laws
are not constitution al or defective
in some way. The anti-cigarette
bill will not prohibit any person
who desires to smoke cigarette
from doing so. The practice is, to
say the least. a detestible one and
is injurious to both health and good
morals. But anything used in
moderation is not injurious to health
not even a drop Of spirits or to-
bacco But here we expect others
10 differ with US. Coming from a
long lived family who were temper
ate, We say that their can be ex-
cesses in almost everything that
human flesh is liable to be heir to
and all the Legislation in the world
