A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DR.. A. B oschee, celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one
of the most fortunate discoveries in Med
icine. 1t quickly cures coughs, colds and
all lung troubles of the severest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in strong
and healthy condition. 1t is not an ex-
perimental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in every
case, which its rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million bot
ties sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United States
in 1868. and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
ElktOn'S Business Centre Threatened
Loss $40, ooo-Other BIazes.

Loss $40, ooo-Other Blazes.
The county seat was visited by a
destructive fire Saturday night
which ragged for over four hours in
the business section before it was
gotten under control. The fire
broke out shortly after II O'Clock in
the Payne block, on the south side
of Main street. The building is
occupied by stores and offices and
owned by Mrs. Hester S. Lewis.
The burned buildings included the
dry goods store of William B. Heat
zig, Lewis block of three stores and
several offices and drug store of j.
Frank Frazer. The livery Office of
Edward Taylor and shed in the
rear of DR.. Jamar's office were
also damaged.
The flames spread with great
rapidity, the wind blowing a gale
at the time and rain falling in tor
rents. The Singerly Fire Company,
of the town, responded promptly
and did heroic work.
At one time the fire threatened to
sweep the street for blocks and
Wilmington, DEL, was telegraphed
to for aid, but the request was
countermanded before an engine
was started from that city.
The family of J. j. Minister, con-
sisting of his wife and five small
children, who occupied a portion Ct
the second story Of the Payne block
asa residence, had retired for the
night, and were carried from the
burning building in their night
clothing, every particle of their
wearing apparel and household
goods going up in smoke.
Taylor Mckinney, of the Fire
Department, was severly burned
about the face and arms while
fighting the fire.
The Office of the Eastern Shore
Telephone Company, ON the second
floor of the Payne block, was
burned. Three switchboards and
all their paraphernalia were
damaged.
The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, which is partly covered
by insurance. The losses are as
follows:
Payne block, owned by Mrs.
Hester S. Lewis, $4,000.
General store, owned by Charles
A. Heatzig, and stock, $500.
G. L. Payne, stock of millinery,
50, 800.
Office of Eastern Shore Telephone
Company, loss $4,000.
j. j. Minister, stock of jewelry,
household goods and wearing ap-
parel, $500.
J. Frank Frazer, drug store and
stock, 50, 700.
1t is thought by some that the
fire was the work of an incendiary
with robbery as a motive.
During the fire an attempt was
made to rob the store of Alexander
& Son, situated across the street
from the Payne block. The mer
chants who suffered by the fire also
report a large quantity of goods
being stolen by thieves, who pre-
tended to carry them to place of
safety, but instead made away with |
them.

A Pure Heart Fixed on Right Objects.

What is there in this world more desir-
able than good name? Fame and riches,
often the consorts of depravity and dis
grace. are but for a day, and frequently
the ill sources, similar in power, of disas-
ter to the natural elements which tend to
make character. Fame, unexpectedly, may
smile upon US, and as suddenly depart,
likewise wealth; or, they may be the long
ripening fruits nutured with years of in
cessant labor, to decay at last, and perish
with the waning of our mortal existence.
Where all the seeds of worldly glory and
lust must rot. the plant Of true character
foIrishes in full bloom.
What makes character? 1t is everyday
life; each word, each action, each look and
even thought, from the moment of our
waking until the angel OF sleep hovers
over our pillow, from the cradle to the
tomb. Let others say or think of us what
thev will, our character is what We are.
No earthly. possession is so desirable,
30 praiseworthy, so noble as this divineiy
human accomplishment, nor more abund.
ant in the pleasures bestowed upon its be.
getter-embracing every quality requisite
to worldly enjoyment, even in seasons Of
affection and sadness, and upon which rest
all our hopes of happiness hereafter. II
our heart be pure, our aim in life will be
q Christlike one, and our lives will con-
stantly reflect that haven to which we are
vending, as we strive to uplift, exonerate
and ennobie others.-New York Observer.

The Rum Crazed Murderer.

The Tacoma (Wash.l Ledger aproDos
some events in the criminal courts OF that
State, declares in strong language its con-
vlction regarding intoxication as factor
in defensive evidence of a confessed muir.
derer. 1t says: :.
"When a man commits murder there IS
no excuse involved in the statement that
he was drunk or crazy at the time. The
man killed bv drunkard or lunatlc Is
as dead as though he had been killed BE-
any other means. The rights OF dead
to be considered from the STANDPOINT of
the man who is still alive. For this reason
the homicidal druDkard and lunatlc Is not
entitled to excuse for his acts.
"Not long ago there was murder IN
this county. It was the fourth murder
committed within as many wee KS An ef-
fort has been made TO show that the as.
sassin was intoxicated or that, from other
causes, he was meataiv irresponsible. The
effort should be in vain. The fact is clear
that a murder was committed. No otner
fact is necessary. Murder is the crime the
public rebels against. It has, become tired
of the habit of bloodshed. The men
guilty of yielding TO the habit are danger
Gus men. It makes no difference that
they can plead the circumstance OF having
"Whether or not the prisoner was drunk
is a matter Of not the slightest conse-
ouence The courts have to pass upon this
deed For this deed there is a prescribed
penalty All the public asks is that the
penalty be meted out
When the Supreme Court of the United
States in October. 1887, declared that the
general use Of Intoxicating drinks "may"
endancer the public safety and that the
prohibition of their sale for that reason is
perfectly in accord with American princi.
pies, the question as to whether or not
the prisoner was drunk" was thus de.
clared a matter Of exceeding conse-
quence to the public and society in gem
eral. The paper supporting party that
legalizes and protects this menace to the

murder committed BY some poor victim
of that damnable ira ffic. The rights" of
q weak live man are just as sacred as those
of any other and the fundamental princi-
pies of the civilized state recognize that
his protection and preservation are two of
its most invioiable trusts. - The New

When God shall call the muster roll,

The widows mite, St. Martins CLOAK,

The hearts that saved the world by love
And hourly Calvaries BORE,
The mother martyrs. queenly host,
Are marshaled to the fore.
Earth's black robed throngs are clad in

Their brows a light adorns-
A radiance of diamond.
Crowns Of transfgured thorns.
Some humble folk we know quite well,
But passed with scarce nod,
Nov rank as heavens nobility
