CLOISTER FOR ST. PETERS CHURCH
Will Be Built Between the Church and Chapel
and Will Accommodate Room for Choir
Boys to Keep Their VeStments.

The vested boy choir having grown
to such proportions with the prospect
of even a larger growth during the
coming winter months, it has been
deemed advisable to make better
accommodations. With this end in
view cloIster will be built between
the church and chapel where a room
will be fitted up for the choir boys to
vest. The cloister will be seven feet
wide and will extend from the north
wing to the chapel, finished with a
nice panel front and ! Ass doors. A
larger door will be built in the chapel
In addition to this the choir room will
be fitted up with individual lockers
for each member to keep his vestments.
Work on this improvement will begin
at once.
Yesterday being the birthday of the
rector, Rev. G.. Valerie Gilreath, the
choir boys were entertained at his
home in delightful style last evening.
The rector was therecipient of a num-
ber of beautiful presents.
The heating plant has been promised
to be ready and in working order for
services next Sunday. Services will
be held in the church as follows: Holy
Eucharist at 73O o'clock; morning
prayer, litany and sermon at 1926
o'clock and evening prayer and ser
mon at Z. 30 o'clock.

LOCAL OPTION IN KENT AND SUSSEX.
Temperance Folks will Ask the Coming Legis'
lature for a Referendum Vote.

Kent and Sussex, are said to have
unconsciously voted to take step to-
ward the elimination of the liquor
traffic, in almost as decisive a manner
as has Cecil county, Maryland. 1t has
long been the policy of the Union Re
publicans to allow the people of the
four districts outlined in the new con-
stitution for this purpose to have the
privilege of voting upon license or no
license. Senator Alice, leader of the
Union Republicans, has twice put him
self on record favoring this, and now
that the Union Republicans have a
two-t thirds representation from Sussex
county and will have within one of
two-t thirds representation from Kent
county, the subject will be agitated
aud hundreds of temperance people
will make an organized effort before
the Legislature, demanding the exer-
else of the referendum.
The constitution demands that the
Legislature shall provide for the sub
mission of this question to the qualified
electors in the district where majority
of the legislators selected therefrOm
shall request it. The four districts
are Wilmington city, rural New Castle
county, Kent county and Sussex cOun-
ty.
The Union Republicans, it is said,
are urged to take this stand because oi
the havoc wrought in the ranks of theil
colored voters on election day and Oh
registration days by the distribution o.
liquor. They intend to give the liquor
men this black eye in return for wha
they charge is their willingness to be
fuddle the entire colored vote of thu
two lower counties on these all-event
full days.

The Latest Fish Story

Sheriff Kinney was telling last night
of a surprising fishing experience he
had up in Strawberry Valley a few
weeks ago.
He was taking fish out of the stream
pretty lively when suddenly the clouds
began to gather and he saw he was
up against a thunderstorm. The
lightnings began to play and he was
about to give up angling for the day
when he thought he would make one
more cast.
His effort was rewarded arsd he pull
ed two pound trout out Of the pool.
AS it was being swung over his head
a tremendous clap of thunder rent the
air and flash Of lightning blinded him
He was thrown bodily to the ground
and must have been unconscious for
some time. When he came to and
sought sOlace III his trusty flask he
took a long pull and to his surprise
the whiskey was quite warm. The
tightening had struck the flask and
made a complete picture of the land
scape on the outside and warme;. the
liquor at the same time.
What became OF the Hsh?" asked
Chas. riend.
oh, l almost forgot. The fish was
also hit and done TO a turn, just as if
it had come out oil the frying pan.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
Modoc County Witnesses More
Murder

A second tragedy has followed the
celebrated Modoc lynching case. Ed
ward Kennedy some few weeks ago
was murdered as he passed along an
unfreouented road, presumably be-
cause of the testimony he had given at
Modoc that Robert Courtwright, who
was one of the witnesses at the trial,
had been poisoned to death.
Courtwright, it will be remembered,
had a stormy time on the witness
stand. He gave his testimony plainly
and bluntly, and at one time came to
blows with Attornev lker. 1t was
last Saturday evening when a neigh
Dor in passing Courtwrights cabin,
discovered the old man lying IN the
grass in agony. He said:
Il have been poisoned. l am dying
l have only eaten some Deans tnat
cooked at noon"
The neighbor took a taste of the
beans and claims that he detected an
unusual taste about them that would
indicate the presence OF some foreign
substance.
The beans were carefully sealed III
and will be given an examination.
1t is supposed that between moor
and the supper hour some unknown
party entered the Cartwright cabil
and fixed" the beans.-Journal.
