GAVE THANKS
How the Great National
Holiday Was Spent in
This City

That Wilmington is a devout and peace
loving city was demonstrated by its OBJ
servance of Thanksgiving yesterday.
Not an arrest marred the holiday, and
there were large attendances at all the
churches in which services were held.
The day was Sunday-like in its quiet
except when crowds were on their way
TO or from the football game, to church.
and to the theatres. Then the people in
their holiday attire gave to the streets
festive air.
In the morning services were held in
several of the city churches In st.
Johns Church there was a service at
1890 o'clock by the rector, Archdeacon
George G.. Hail. The Rev. Ashton Henry
preached in Trinity Church and the Rev.
Philip B. -Cabell conducted a service in
the Church Of the New Jerusalem.
The Rev. William Writ King, ID. D.,
preached in Grace NJ. II. Church and the
Rev. j. w. Easley in Scott. All the
other Methodist congregations in the
NJ. r. Church. Fifth and Washington

the Rev w. /. 5. Murray, of st. Paul's;

O'Brien, Of Mt Salem, read the Presi-
dents proclamation, and the Rev. Fran
els b. Short, of Epworth, preached the
The Rev. Frederick f. Briggs preached
TO Baptsts in the Second Baptist Church,
and the Rev. w. l.. Freund preached at
the united Presbyterian services in Han
over Church. Early morning services
were conducted by the Rev. George II.
Irull in East Lake Presbyterian Church.
Both matinee and evening perform
ances at the three theatres were charac-
terized by immense audiences which were
well pleased with the excellent bills pre-
scented. Many people from Newark and
other neighboring towns came to see the
football game and swell the Thanksgiv-
ing crowd. A number Of people of Bur
lingt0n. y. j., also came down to see the
game of basketball played 10y the team Of
that town and the Wilmington team.
The poor of the city were well looked
after by the Associated Charities and the
various church societies of the city. So it
is safe TO presume that everybody, poor
as well as the rich, spent a pleasant and
profitable Thanksgiving.

music is in book form, and was copied
by Miss S. Patterson, of Smyrna

died years ago at the age of so years.
Although the Wayfarer has heard

the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is improving it's tracks in and near
Claymont by doing away with the
curve in the line which has been a
source OF great annoyance to the engi-
neers of the railroad company. There
is some talk OF changing the name OF
ClaYmont to Naaman's Greek or May
be station. There is considerable feel
ing and interest taken in the matter
by persons living at Claymont and it
requires but the mention of the matter
10 start an argument with a Claymont-
oman on the subject The
station may be removed from
its present location to a point
nearby on the banks. of the Naaman's
creek. The creek in itself is of great
historic interest. the Swedes having
maue first settlement there in 1888.
HISTORY OF NAAMAN'S CREEK.
Amos Brinton. court librarian. who
is an authority on the history of New
Castle County. and who is a champion
of truth respecting historical events,
in this portion OF Delaware, gives the
following historical sketch of NJ
mans creek
Naaman's creek is a small stream
that empties into the Delaware river
between Matlies. now Marcus Hook,
and Grubb's Landing 1t was a noted
stream with the Indians Swedes and
later the English. 1t was of import
ance to religious denominations, both
Roman Catholic and Protestants re-
we're the creek.
PATHS USED BY INDIANS.
The Indian path from Naaman's
creek mouth. or Grubb's landing, to
the forks of the Brandywine is sixteen
miles in a nOrthwesterly direction.
This path or road was used by the
early Swedes. who trusted to the In
dians to guide them to homes for til-
ture settlements inland from the river.
We find those Swedish settlements

NEWSPAPER OPINION

New York Evening Posts Praise
From the Boston Herald.
The New York Evening Post has
had good samples of what its brethren
of the press think of it in
the past week, and the great
majority of the opinion thus
furnished has been kindly. 1t has
been brought to mind that William C..
Bryant, Parke Goodwin, John Bigelow,
Carl Schurz, and Edwin l.. Godkin
have successfully edited the paper,
and the list challenges being surpass-
ed. not to be sufficiently invidious to
say that it has not been equalled.
There is not unlimited praise of the
Evening Post among those who speak
of IT, Somewhat more of amiability
In its editorial writing in portions Of
It's history has been suggested as pos
sible in the way of improvement. An
editor OF another great newspaper sug-
gested several years ago that the
ideal editorial writer would be a COM
bination of r. l.. Godl1in and George
William Curtis. We find an excellent
estimate Of the Evening Post in the
Brooklyn Eagle, which says "The
Post may be criticised, quarreled with,
and even denounced by its fellow-re-
formers. for IL never sleeps. and even
when it goes TO bed it keeps one eye
open and has both spurs on"

MAY NAME CLAYMONT AFTER
OLD INDIAN CHIEF NAAMAN

near the sides of this Indian path as
far as Birmingham township, Chester
county.
The early Quakers, about 1892 also
used this path in going from Grubb's
landing inland to Birmingham town
ship
After William Penn became the
owner of the province Of Pennsylvania
which was supposed to be on the north
side OF the fortieth degree of north
latitude George Calvert, or his son,
COecilus Calvert. or Lord Baltimore,
claimed all the land south Of the for
tieth degree of north latitude, between
the Delaware river and Philadelphia,
westerly to the head waters Of the
Potomac with the exception of a small
piece of land about Cape Charles.
This was claimed by Virginia The
land the Swedes had settled and the
lower counties William Penn bought
for a very small price. He named il
the three lower counties"
A fight over the dividing line of the
territory subsequently started. Will
liam Penn returned here in 1852 and
the fight was revived with greater bit
terness.
Penn contended that the fortieth de-
gree of latitude was about Upland OF
Chester. The Calvert's weakened and
let him have some of the northeast
corner of their claim. Calverts sur
veyors. under Colonel Talbot, ran a
line from he OctOraro creek on the
.Susauehanna to the Naaman's creek
on the Delaware. which bounded COM
promise territory.
The river takes its name from that
old indian chief. Naaman, whose home
was in Brandywine hundred and
whose wise council for peace prevailed
when the red skins were about to dig
the hatchet and warfare against the
Swedes when angered by the cruelty
and invasion of the Dutch.
The Delaware river was known To
the red men as Wuttuck Deni, OF
Whiteman's river or Nari's Kitten.

ADpIoKs ARRAIGNED

The Sun, a paper published in VIII
mington, is greatly concerned by the
fact tnat as the time for the opening
of Congress approaches, we have no
person in the Senate to represent us.
10 says:
The importance of this matter trans
cends all the questions of State politics
that have been discussed in connec-
ton with IT. 1t impairs the vigor and
authority OF the Constitution of the
United States. in it's dictum of what
shall be the relation of this State to
the Union. and as to what shall con-
stltute the Senate Of the United States.
II nullifles the provisions Of the Con
stitution in the matter to which we
allude
So 1t is that we have, at the opening
of one of the most important sessions
of Congress, no representative Of
Delaware to sit in the Congress OF the
United States. Congressman Ball is
not a State representative. Coincident
with this privation of political rights,
we have these apparent contradictions
in our politics: Outlawry Is defended
the Federal and of the State Constibu-
tions: and the robbing of a State of its
representation in the Senate; and the
people of the right of majority rule in
the choosing of legislative representa-
tiyes, becomes the work of alleged good
citizenshlp-with minority rule a car
dinal precept in a code OF political
ethics.
The condition is indeed deplorable,
but it may be terminated any day by
an acceptance OF the principle that the
interests Of the party are superior to
those of an individual. We can expect
nothing, however. from a party form
ed by a man who violated the princi-
pie of majority rule by holding that
the rights of four Legislators were SUI
perior to those OF fifteen of the same
party. We need expect no change SO
long as the loyalty to an individual is
so great that when there are two sena-
tors to be elected they vote for this
one man for the two places. II is a sad
state OF affairs. as the organ we quote
indicates. and we wonder why il hasn't
enough energy to denounce that sell
fishness which has brought about the
present intolerable condition The Re
publicans of Delaware stand evel
ready to elect any two men to the
Senate Who are at all fit to represent
them,
