Have Not Worked In Vain.

lt Is always pleasant to see the work OF
any people appreciated at a time when they
the mselyes can feel the appreciation. 1t is
therefore with especial pleasure that THE
TIMES presents the following testimonial
which the Maple River Sunday School
adopted last Sunday. The persons to whom
the testimonial, or memorial, is addressed,
Mr.. and Mrs. K. j.. Cook, are known to
many of the readers OF The TIMES. Mr..
Cook has been superintendent of the Sun
day school referred to many years while
Mrs. Cook has been one of the teachers In
the same during the entire time of Der
residence In the neighb0rhood. The
address follows
Mr.. AND MRS. e. ]. Cook.
We, as members Of the Maple River Sunday
school, take this opportunity to express to you'
our sincere thanks for your untiring efforts
during those years In which you have toiled
with us in our Sunday school, as uperintendent
and teacher.
We realize the great effort you have made for
our good, not having selfish motive In view,
but happily laboring on for the good that may
come TO others.
We feel deeply indebted to you for the
earnestness you have shown In our behalf.
In times past present has seemed appropriate
for occasions like this, but now. a gift seems to
us ins efficient to express our heartfelt thanks
for the noble work you have done for us, and
we decided that few words, II justly spoken,
might come nearer expressing the heartfelt
truth, than meagre present could represent.
You have labored and have laid the founda.
ton of community Of which we are Justly
proud, and only God knows the real worth.
AS we launch out into another years work,
with you as our leaders, you may rest assured,
that you have our most earnest prayers.
In the good work, and what we lack, God in
his goodness will multiply tenfold.

The May Atlantic will open with the first
installment of Audrey" Miss Mary
JOhnstons new romance. Like "Prisoners
of Hope" and "TO Have and To Hold" II
is Virginian story, but it is laid in the
eighteenth century. The life of Colonial
Virginia has been growing more rich and
picturesque, il less strenuous in martial
enterprise. We are introduced to the stately
mansions that still adorn the banks of the
James River, and to the lively capital of
Williamsburg Typical figures in this COM
pick and y-charactered story are the
witty Col. Byrd t2d) of Westover, and his
daughter Evelyn, the famous beauty. The
The orphaned girl, Audrey, whose name
gives the title to the book, Is, we are inclined
to believe, the most vital and fascinating
parsonage created by Miss Johnston's
imagination. Indeed, this latest story re-
veals everywhere maturity of observation,
joined with profoundly poetic interpreta-
ton OF nature AMI of human passion.
Accurate as is Its rendering of historic
scenes and persons, faithfully as it records
the loneliness of tide-water Virginia, the
power of Audrey" lies in Its appeal to that
instinct for true romance which abides in
every unspoiled heart. 1t will prove
serial.

From Hin TO Hin.

The sun had cross'd from hill to hill,
Its path we call'd day;
We saw each other face to face,
Then each one went his way.
Descending darkness supervened,
We term'd its substance night,
And In It's folds, save but in thought,
Each vision passed from sight.
And yet tlong the suns bright trail
We read another's need;
And answered 1t, through brotherhood,
In loving word and deed.
And when the evening hills of life
With gold and crimson burn,
That day in memory proves the best
Which holds some kindly turn.

WILL RUN JERSEY FERRY

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road Co. will, in short time, start the
erection of a modern passenger station
on the property fronting on King street
and the Christiana river, for the joint
use of the railroad and the New Jersey
d Wilmington Ferry Co. The railroad
Company has bought the property from
the George w. Bush Il Sons Co. and
plans for the new station are being pre-
pared and as soon as the details can be
arranged the work of building will be
started.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has
purchased the United States Hotel at
The northwest corner of Front and
French streets, in which the Wilmington
* Northern and its successor. the Phila-
,lelphia & Reading, has had its main
passenger station for some time.
For some time the Pennsylvania Com
pany has had its eyes on the 7. Il r.
station, as the building was an obstruc-
ton to the Pennsylvania Company S
plans for elevating the tracks. The
Pennsylvania Company had but little
trouble in obtaining the property along
Water street which it desired but when
it came to buying the railroad station of
an opposite company there was an OBJ
stacle which was bound to give trouble,
The two companies have at last. how

an amicable arrangement the Pennsyl.

cidentally. the United States Hotel.
For some time King street wharf has
bcen leased and used by the New Jer
Fey & Wilmington Ferry Co. The ferry
company was formerly owned by thu
Wilmington 4 Northern Railroad Co
and is now owned by the Philadelphia

Report of Joint Postal commo'
submitted to Both Bodies.

Submitted to Both Bodies
Washington, Jan. 14.-When the house
met, Mr.. Loud (Cal) presented the report
of the Joint postal commission which nas
been investigating the question OF ran
way mail pay and other matters aneer
ing postal affairs.
The commission unanimously reports
in favor of excluding from the second
class mail rate, first, books whetner
bound or unbound; second, newspapers
and periodicals unsold sent by news
agent to another news agent or returned
10 the publisher; third, sample copies OF
newspapers above a certain small hxed
nroportion of the circulation. The COM
mission also unanimously reports against
the continuance Of the system OF trans
hitting mails on the pneumatic tubes
under present conditions. The commits
sion unanimously reports that neither a
change in letter postage nor the establish
ment of a system of parcels post Is prac-
ticable under existing conditions of reve-
me and expenditure, even il otherwise
desirable, upon which no opinion is ex-
pressed.
Upon the question of railway mail pay
there are five reports.
A report signed by Senators Wolcott
and Allison which declares that the pres
ent rate Of railway mail pay is not ex-
cessiye and ought not to be changed ex-
cept by the discontinuance of the appro'
priations for special facilities which II
declares should be discontinued.
A report signed by Mr.. Loud, concur.
ring with the above report except that
it recommends the adoption Of railway

prescribed by law.
report signed by Mr.. Moody, which
declares that upon the evidence the rail
way mnil pay is not excessive. but rec
ommends further investigation as 10 I'M
prevailing methods of loading postal car
and inquiry into the question whethe
the methods may not be corrected SO a.
to result in a saving without injury u
the carrier. In this report MIR. Catching
concurs.
A report signed by Senator Martin AM
Mr.. Catchings, dissenting from the view
of the other members Of the commission
with regard to the discontinuance Of ap
preparations for special facilities.
A report signed by Mr.. Fleming, i
which he states that he thinks Their
should be some reduction in the presen
rate Of railway mail pay either by
per cent reduction generally and sti
further reduction on the routes wher
the volume of traffic Is greatest or,
case these suggestions are not adopted
by a change in the special payment fc
postal cars.

by Mr.. Wolcott.
