pour of rain. The Naval Reserves; aboard
the ancient warship Dale, spent Friday

the elements.
The camp at Queenstown was a sea of

OBITUARY
PoRr PENN. DEL. July 1e. 1al

PoRT PENN, DEL, July 16, 1901.
The funeral Of Mrs. Henrietta M. Dill
worth, widow Of the late Thomas F.
Dilworth, and Oldest daughter Of the late
Dr. David Stewart, occurred on Sunday
afternoon from the Presbyterian Church.
Rev W. ]. Rowan, Of Newark, warm
friend Of Mrs Dllworth, conducted The
services which were simple and beautiful
His sermon was from l Thes. iv. IL.
"But would not have you ignorant
concerning them which are asleep, that
We sorrow not, even as others which have
no hope" "Lead Kindly Light" was
sung by Mrs. Abram Vandegrift. The
other selection was: "Come Unto Me-"
Flowers-whichs she loved-were in great
profusion and arranged by loving hands.
The pall-bearers aere: Messrs John
C. Higgins, Daniel Corbit, Henry Cleav-
er, and John B., George and Abram
Vandergrift. She was laid by her hus-
band in Old Drawers cemetery. Miss
L. Lynch sang "Going Down the Valley"
at the grave. Those who came from
distance were: Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus
Stewart, Miss Dale, Misses Nellie Z. F.,
and Stella Cleaver, from Wilmington;
DIR. and Mrs. David Stewart, from New
Castle; T. Dale Stewart and Rev. Kensey
J. Stewart, Delta, Pa; Messrs. A. Hall
and Roy Tracey, Philadelphia.
Mrs. Dilworth was at one time, deeply
interested and intimately associated with
the Grange movement in this neighbor-
hood, and throughout the state, and
worked for it by her pen and in many
many ways. 1t was her nature to un-
dertake ardently and become completely
absorbed in anything which interested
her. She was very benevolent, as well
as generous to fault Many among the
poor, and among the colored people re.
member her kind deeds. She welded |
graceful and facile pen, and many Of her
poems deserve republication. But her
most beautiful thoughts we're often sent
out to friends in her perfect hand-writ- |
ing, at times Of sorrow or rejoicing.
Her death was sudden and unexpected |
to many of her dear ones. She has been
drawing nearer the 'Yalley of the shad-
owl for months past, although the path
was hidden even from herself Yet her
marked characteristics, unselfishness and |
faith grew stronger, and she could truly |
say, 81 will fear no evil for Thou art
with me.
Savior perfect my trust,
Strengthen the might Of my faith,
Let me feel as 1 would when stand,
On the rock of the shore of death.
Feel as / would when my feet
Are slippery over the brink,
For it may be Pm nearer home,
Nearer now than l think.

CAMDEN CAMP ABANDONED

At meeting of the Board Of Managers
OF the Camden Camp held on the gounds
Monday last it was decided to abandon
the annual camp which was scheduled to
begin next Wednesday
Seven of the ten managers were pres
ent, and six voted in favor of resolution
setting forth that the Board of Managers
do not feel justified in holding the camp
and respectfully return the ground and
property to the Board of Trustees, and
hereby declare the arrangements made
by MS off.
The cause Of this action was the lack of
interest, small number of tenters and in
ability to dispose of the privileges. The
date did not suit the farmers, but it is
said that this is a bad year for crmps
Wye and Concord being declared off.
