ANOTHER "HoRRisLE EXAMPLE,

A THOUGH THE RELATIVES of
II Robert Mccarthy Of Maryland are
not wiling to so on record as saying
so. they probably consider him one of
the most beautiful specimens of the
horrible example" on record. AR Nc
Carthy has arrived at the mature age of
100 years and attributes his longevity
to the use of-whisky, sHe says he has
been dghting the demon rum with in
terhal applications ever since he was
very young man and he believes the
exercise has enabled him to live so far
beyond the allotted span.
Mr.. Mccarthy is a man of sore
means. Therefore his prospective hens
viii all doubtless be found lined up on
the side OF temperance. Taking his
statement as correct they will argue
tsat if # hadn't been for whisky they
might have divided the property long
ago and "..ved happily ever after" As
matters stand, however, there is no inn
mediate prospect VI such an event. The
supply OF whisky is holding out re-
markedly well despite the long con-
tinued Efforts of the veteran. If his
demise is to be coincident with the
wiping out of all intoxieants he has
MANY. many years of lie ahead of
him.
Probably our prohibitionist friends
win say that Mccarthy has lived TO
. be los In spite of the whisky and not
because of il. It is sure he cOuldn't
have lived so long if h. had imbibed
certain grades % the "tanglefeot." a
truly remarkable feature Of the story
lies in the fact that Mccarthy saws
nothing about his retollections of the
death OF George Washington. He
doesn't even claim that he fired the
bullet which Killed the English general,
Lambert. at the battle of New Orleans,
nor did he ho5nob with Lafayette
when the great Frenchman visited this
country early in the last century.
n re has forgotten ali these things it
may be considered an evidence that
the whisky is getting il its deadly
work and that within the next fifty
years or SO. HeCarthy may begin
showing signs of premature old age.

For a few anxious moments last
night it looked as if the performance
of The Man From Mexico" at the
Grand theatre would not be finished.
Il was after the man in the title role
and the woman who plays the part OF
his buxOm wife had gone through a
Spanish dance that quite pleased the
audience. The latter demanded a rep
etitiOn of the speciality. but the wife
aforesaid, evidently incensed at the Or-
chestra for trying to make il funeral
affair, failed TO respond TO the ap-
plause. The other players tried to go
on with their lines, but that was use
less. The applause grew louder and
louder, and finally the house got to
guying the members of the cast who
were struggling to carry on the play.
1t was not the most genteel audience
in the world, to do this. but it was
done. and the return after an awful
delay of Mr. and Mrs. Fitzhew to the
stage to do the dance over again is all
that restored quiet.
The Man From Mexico" IS a worthy
attraction for the popular priced
house. 1t was worth more when Viii
lie Collier played it. but all comedians
cannot be Golfers, and Louis Peters
demonstrates the fact most forcibly.
The farce itself is, of course. as bright
as ever 1t has few rivals and makes
delightful evenings entertainment
unless you go for the purpose of COM
pairing this with performances that
have been. The company is well bal
anced on the male side. but the women
well, the only ono worth taking Sc
riously has already been mentioned.

YOUNG SlSCO GIVEN HIS LIBERTY.
Judge Spruance Makes Some Scathing Re-
marks About the Municipal Judge for
Committing without Evidence.

After hearing the evidence in the
case of George G. SiscO, of Smyrna,
the boy who was committed to the
Ferris Industrial School, Wilmington,
last November, and or the application
of his grandfather, Andrew Sisco, was
given another hearing, Judge Spruance
made some scathing remarks about
the Judge of the Municipal Court. He
said that he wanted the Judge of the
court notified that before he commits
another boy to the school, to look al
the statute and become familiar with
the evidence required to commit. He
said the record of any case should
show prima facia evidence.
In the SiscO case the mother, who is
a resident of Chester, went to Will
mington and asked the boy If he would
like to go to a school. Upon receiv-
ing his consent, she made an affidavit
in the Municipal Court that he was in
corrigible, and the boy was committed
without any further proof This,
Judge Spruance said, was not accord
ing to statute.
In dismissing the boy from the
custody of the institution, Judge
Spruance said that he was prompted
to give this decision because he wal
not resident of New Castle county
In the future the Municipal Cour
must prove residence in this count,
before it can commit. l.. Irwin;

St. Peters Church Will hold their ChiIdren's
Service ia the Afternoon at 800 O'clock.
Easter Song Service at Asbury.

Next Sunday will be an interesting
day with all the churches, when East
er song and gladness will pervade the
land. At St. Peters Church it will be
doubly important day in that it will
be the first service in the newly reno
waited church. Last week a full de-
scription of the improvement was
given in the TIMES, and mingled with
the Easter song and gladness which
will be celebrated Sunday, will be a
feeling of pride among many parish
toner's of having such a beautiful
church edifice to worship in. The
services of the day will begin with the
Holy Eucharist at z 80 in the morning
and Holy Eucharist again at 1890
o'clock. The Children's Service which

gatiOn-PastOr Collins Welcomed Back.

A rich treat was afforded the people
of Smyrna, last evening, when Rev.
Joseph F. Berry d. D., editor of the
EpWOrth Herald, and General Secre-
tary of the Epworth League, gave a
fine discourse on ''Lend a Hand. !"
Asbury M. E. Church was we'll filled
for such short notice. Rev. Vaughan
S. Collins was fortunate in getting
him to stop over in Smyrna, on his
way from Conference. He was intro
duced by Pastor Collins, in a few fit
ting remarks. In the pulpit sat Rev.
R. K. Stephenson of Elkton, Nd. DIR.
Corkran, Rev. G. l.. Hardesty and
Rev.. Vaughan S. Collins, of this town.
DIR. Berry had for his subject, LEND
a Hand, the object being to enforce
the doctrine of practical christianity
He had no sympathy with the views of
some people, of attaining certain
spiritual condition, by sitting and sing
ing, the same way to everlasting bliss.
They must lend helping hand where
ever it can be useful. At the close of
his fine discourse, the congregation
was invited to the front to meet DIR.
Berry, and not a few took the oppor-
tunity of giving Pastor Collins cor
dial welcome home.

DEATH OF JONATHAN A. BROWN.
Passed Away Friday After a Lingering Illness
in His Sixty.eighth Year.

Jonathan A. Brown, one of Smyrna's
well-known citizens, died Friday after
noon at his residence on South Main
street, in the G8th year of his age.
For some time he had been failing in
health, and death was the result of a
complication of diseases. The deceased
was a son of the late Jonathan Brown
of this town, and is a half brother of
George F. Brown and Mrs. Alfred H.
Smith. His early life was spent in
farming, but subsequently he took up
the trade of carpentering, which he
followed as long as he was able. He
married, in young manhood, Miss
Annie Nelson, daughter of the late
William W. Nelson, of this town, who
with four children survive him, Will
liam F. Brown, of Philadelphia, of
Herbert Brown, of Jersey City, n. j.,
and Miss Helen and Miss Emily, OF
this town. The deceased, while rather
modest and retiring in nature, was 8
man of very superior qualities. He
was a devoted husband, loving father.
and consistent member of Asbury M
E. Church. Interment took place al
Glenwood Cemetery Monday after
noon,
