GLENDALE.

The only event sidce my last communion
ton that would bring Glendale news before
the public was the death Of Mrs. Sina Warren
generally known as "Aunt Sina," on ac-
count of her kindness to, and good word for
everybody. She was about rs years old, and
the widow ofStephen Warren. Her remains
were inferred beside those OF her late hus-
band in Slaughter Neck Churchyard, and
over her remains a touching sermon was
preached by the Rev, Bucksom, of Glendale.
Esquire Ellegood, who was close family
friend, delivered a handsome suicsSyu5i-Jne
deadat the reading OF her last will and tesla
ment, which was a surprise; as most people
thought that she had given nearly all of her
property to her son Alexander, who has taken
care Of his aged mother and her interests for
years 1t was found that she decreed that
all property shall be sold and the proceeds
divided equally between five of her children.
After distributing the personal effects, tire
will ignores her eldest son, who lives in the
western part of the United States; also the
children by her deceased daughter, Mrs. John
Hickman.
Mr.. Whitney, who has been critically i'll
for many weeks, and wheselile metaphors
cally speaxing,hung in a balance, is now con-
valeseent
During last week Glendale was shrOuded
in smoke, and when the atmosphere cleared

spot upon broad and fertile prairie.

rent Delaware news that favored
recognition by the President of the
boiling Republicans Of Delaware
the anti-Addicks papers quoted his
letters and held his writings as in

come DER their dreams in the last
week or two, all because Major Car

in Washington as to Delaware at

Small POx Flees From This Remedy

The following article was published in the
New York Journal" of last Sunday, and is re-
produced for what it is worth.
'One grain sulphate of zinc, one grain of fox
glove-sometimes called digtalis: mix with two
taolespooufuls of water when thoroughly mixed
ad four ounces water. Take a TABLESPOONFUL
every hour for twelve hours"
If the direction of this recipe are followed
there will be no need of sore arms during
smallpox epidemic. So asserts Mother Marie
Joseph a Sister of Charity. of St Joseph's Orphan
Asylum, in Philadelphia.
Not only is the person who takes the mixture
immune from smallpox, but it is even said 10

indeed to create immunity to all contagious di
seases.
rhe efficacy of this medicine is attested by the
cures of the Sister and likewise by her predeces3
scr, Mother Gonzsga. During the last few DAYS
a large quantity OF the medicine has been made
/ by Mother Joseph and distributed to many ap-
/ plicants

JOHN HENRY LONG.

John Henry Long aged So years. for
merly a resident OF Ocean View, met 3
violent death last week. Just how it
occurred no one knows, but the suppO-
sition is that his team became unman-
ageable and he was thrown out, striking
upon his head and breaking his neck.
He was mail carrier between Frank
ford and Ocean View, and up to last
week was a resident Of the latter place,
when he moved to Frankfort and
started out in the woods to ger load
of wood. After several hours had
elapsed and he did not return, his fam
lily became alarmed and started out to
look for him.
When they found him he was dead
and his team was discovered some dis
lance away. Mr.. Long leaves a widow
and several children.

WITH its customary snarl at the
Republicans of Delaware, the "Sus-
sex Journal" bewails the situation
into which the financial condition
of Sussex county schools are placed
by the new school law. It's bitter
partisanship strips its lame argu-
ment of what little force it would
have had; but it suggests no plan
that is practical to place the schools
in possession of the State apprOpri-
alton. The State Treasurer sug-
gested that the forty dollars neces
sary for each school to raise that
the law may be complied with
might be made up by subscription
i'll each district, and this appears to
be the only way out of the trouble
for. all concerned; but the Sussex
Journal" says:
To our mind the blame should rest
ON the people who sent a lot of numb
skulls to the Legislature to dominate
that body, who neither have the abil-
ity to frame law nor to know when
a law is properly framed.
Probably the young lawyers w %
edit that paper would volunteer to
serve for their districtg5nd see that
the lisi St would never occur
again; but the people remember
that good fat sums were paid out
to lawyers for them to draw laws to
be acted upon for the purpose OF
avoiding just such mix-ups, and we
doubt if the journal" editorial
writer would make much improve
ment over the Democratic and Re
publican numb-skulls he criticises
The schoollaw, excepting this in.
advertancy regarding Sussex county
is all right; and, had Sussex here
tOfOre done her entire duty toward
public education, the present snar
would not now exist. The State
Treasurer is correct in his position
and those districts who had no
raised 500 by taxation, must sub
scribe the other $40 necessary be
fore the States dividend can b,
drawn. 1t would be mean set o
men in any school district, tina
would permit the schools to b
closed because they would not pa,
the extra amount required. Teach
ers employed by such district
would be able to sue the distric
for the whole term and recover, be
cause they were fairly employee
and thereby deprived of opportu
nifty to secure other schools. 1t
no time to snarl now; action
necessary that good results ma
follow.

The Bctter London Postal System.
1t must be admitted that at its best our
New York postal system cannot be COM
pared to that of London in efficiency.
That city has hourly collections and de-
liveries, the average number of deliveries
in all large English cities being fourteen
a day. One can send a letter in the morn
ing addressed to any place within 100
miles of the Bank of England and, with
promptness at the other end, receive an
answer the same day. Within the city
limits the mail is as rapid as our tele-
graph. Ladies do their marketing by
post, mailing orders between and . and
receiving the goods 'before noon" The
parcels post is so cheap and prompt that
most small packages are delivered in this
way instead of by business delivery wag-
ems, and one can send practically any
thing. 1t is difficult to see why America
should not require and receive just as
good a system.-World's Work.

Some people seem disposed
to severely criticise the action
of Lieut.. w. P. Crawford, of
Chester, for refusing to marry
a girl of Chester when he dis
covered that Che no longer
loved her" 1t is well for both
they did not marry if they
did not love. 1t was wrong
for him to wait until the date
fixed for the marriage before
he made that fact known. 1t
is reasonable to believe that
there are two sides to that at
fair, as is always to every
love scrape, or escape, as it
seems to be in this instance,
and we do not condemn until
both parties are heard from.
Tn love affairs no one is capa-
bic of judging another's ac-
tons unless he knows ali the
circumstances of the matter,
and to know that is impossi-
bic. Love is blind, but it IS
IN possession of those who
may see, if they only will.
