Noble Type of WomanhoOd.

Mrs. Ann E. Grier, noble type of
womanhood; her superior would have
been difficult to find. She was an or
acle at whose shrine all were willing
to bow. Her approval was desired bv
all, for she was the embodiment of wis
dom, purity and love. Her queenlv
bearing, her gentle manners. her mild
reproofs, her sweet lessons of helpful.
ness, her tender regard for all Young
people, and willingness to assist them
III well-doiDg, gave her a place in the
hearts of all who knew her and en-
ioyed the privilege of sharing in the
wealth of her mature mind She was
worthy to be classed with Lady Jane
Grey, Susanna Wesley and Lady Hun
tingdon. How proud we were to count
her our friend, and though she long
since joined the great majority. her
memory fingers about us, and the
spell of her charming manners and low
ing ways never cease to impress us
while life shall last. l pay this trib-
ute because | owe her debt of grat
ltude L never can repay. Mr.. James
Hall is proud to call her aunt, and her
spirit Of motherhood broods over all
those who were blessed by her counsel
and inspired by her words of cheer.
Delaware may we'll be proud of the
women who grew up upon her soil.
Indeed, so far as we are concerned. IL
circumstances would permit, and the
occasion required, we would avail our
selves of the privilege of recording the
virtues, the intelligence, the piety of
the women who were foremost in the
places were we dwelt, or even made
temporary sojourn, rather than nav
tribute to the men we knew. Still. we
cannot dismiss the Milford contingent

WORK BEGUN ON MILFORD
WOODLAND BEACH TROLLEY
VENTURE ASSUMING SHAPE THAT INOI.
Gates SPEEDY COMPLETION.
One Hundred italians at Work on the Line
and Promoters Assert Cars VIII be
+. Run 10 August on Entire Route.

Events have transpired within the
past few days that gives fresh i'm
petus to the trolley movement and
awakens confidence in the minds of
those who have felt there was nothing
in. it." 1t looks now as though the
trolley will be running through
Smyrna in the not far distant future.
Last week the Delaware General
Electric Company filed with the Kent
county recorder a mortgage for 81, ,0O0,-
900, given to the Knickerbocker Trust
Company of New York City. This
action was followed by the arrival at
Dover of about one hundred Italian
laborers with their baggage. These
were domiciled at the new shanties
erected at Cooper's Corner, and with
their arrival for the first time Dover's
citizens began to have confidence in
the stability of the movement to push
the trolley scheme through. Car load
of tools and other equipment arrived
on Wednesday and on Thursday work
was begun. Matters have been salts
factory arranged with Dover Town
Council and the promoters now con-
fidently assert that cars will be run
ming over the entire length of the
route by August and the people of
lower Kent will have a new and i'm
proved means of transportation for
both freight and passenger service.
Within the past week the promoters
of the Delaware City line, which is
now in full operation, have been sur
veying the route from that place to
Middletown, and as the latter point is
but about dozen miles distant from
the projected Woodland Beach line,
there are many who look for a contin-
nous line from lower Delaware to
Philadelphia over the electric tracks in
the very near future.

not only the servant of the people to

more work for little money than any
one in his line we ever knew, and was
a good friend to the poor, and ought

pension, aud those who failed to honor
his fees should be compelled to paw.
