LAWN FETE AT BlSHOPsTEAD
Annual Affair on Wednesday Evening Of 10.
terest TO the Entire Diocese.

Bishopstead was probably the most
attractive place in Wilmington We'd
nesday afternoon and evening. The
occasion was the annual lawn fete for
the benefit of st. Michaels Day Nur-
sery and Hospital for Babies, which
was held under the auspices of gen.
eral committee of Protestant Episcopal
churches of Wilmington, of which the
Rev. Hubert W. Wells was chairman.
From every standpoint the fete was
the most successful one that has ever
been held. This was largely due to
the fact that the weather was most
favorable and, that there were many
more attractions than in past years.
1t is estimated that about $500 was
cleared, all of which will be donated
to st. Michaers Day Nursery. The
spacious lawn surrounding Bishop
stead was brilliantly illuminated, with
japanese lanterns and incadescent
lights. The illuminations and deco
rations also surpassed those of former
years. The vari-colored lights sus-
pended from trees overlooking the
Brandywine glowed through the dense
shrubbery, producing a pretty effect.
1t was through the kindness of the
Wilmington City Electric Company
and the Arrowsmith Company that the
grounds, tents aud stands were wired
and lighted.
There was a large crowd present
during the entire afternoon and even
ing. Bishop Coleman walked about
the lawn receiving the arrivals and
relating his experience on his tramp
ing tour. He was greatly pleased with
the success of the fete. All the Epis-
copal clergymen of Wilmington and
vicinity were also present some time
during the day. While a portion of
the booths were in tents on the lawn,
the most of them were in the home of
Bishop Coleman. The production of
! the cantata Princess" which was
given by fourteen girls and boys from
st. Michael's parish, formed an inter
esting feature of the day and evening.
They were under the supervision of
Miss Meyers. Another feature of the
fete was the "Klondike, which was
in charge of Miss Elizabeth Palmer.
This was a tent with heaps of sand
on the inside in which the childre n
could dig to their full satisfaction.
The ''Old curiasity shop" and the
groceries and toys booth were also on
the lawn.
At the conclusion of the fete, two
handsome cakes were presented to
Bishop Coleman and the Rev. Hubert
W. Wells ch airman of the Committee
of Arrangem ents. Mr.. Wells acknowl.
edged the gift and Bishop Coleman
expressed his grateful appreciation tc
Mr.. Wells, whose laborlous efforts
contributed so much to the success ot
the affair. =, He also thanked all who
contributed by gifts of work toward
making the fete the most successful
ever held.

made life a burden. / couldn't eat or

DIR. johnson used to say he loved
good hater. This remark has been
misused more times than it has beo
properly applied. A good hater is nc
an indiscriminate hater;a human Wild
cat is not, nor is loon or a screech-
owl; but the trusty old watch dog who
guards your house day and night, who
romps with the children and takes
long rambIes with you on Sunday, is
a very good hater Of everything inim-
ical to your interests. Good haters
are such because they know what to
hate. they are also affectionate, stead
fast, Iovable friends. Good haters are
worth cherishing; great haters, .how,
ever, ought to be Gagged.

LOcKJAw CAUSED BY A SPLINTER.
Little Miss Ada Harrington Died After En-
during Awful Suffering.


After suffering agony for two weeks
until her body became almost the
shape of a rainbow, little Ada Harring-
ton, II years of age, died at the home
of her parents at Harrington. Symp-
tons of lockjaw developed in the child
two weeks ago, and after numerous
convulsions, the body assumed an
arohed condition from the hip to the
head. The little girl was conscious
most of the time. The blood poison
ing, which developed into tetanus,
came from a splinter, which the child
stuck in her foot while playing near
her home about two weeks ago, and
which gave immediate trouble.

IMMENSE REWARD FOR THE
SLAYER OF ARTHUR |. COLLINS

Telluride, Colo, Nov 22-Arthur l..

Grating at Pandora. died at 1:30 a. m.
yesterday, from wounds received at
the hands OF an unknown assassin
while playing cards in the Office build
ing of the company late Wednesday
night. Death was expected from the
start and the marvel is that the strick-
en- man lived as long as ne did.
At the bedside of Mr.. Collins when
he died were his wife, his brothers,
George and Edgar A. Collins, Drs.
Ochsner, Freeman, Jaynes, Nurse Lena
Strauss and Benjamin Lawrence and
Jacob Fillius, president and attorney
respectively for the company. The
last moments were particularly sad.
Mrs. Collins was prostrated, but she
had in measure been prepared for
the worst
Mrs. Collins left Telluride on the
regular train at SIS this morning, ac-
companied by Mrs. A. B. Blainey,
Mrs. Collins brother. Charles Becker:

Denver. Nov. GA great deal of
attention is being given to the pres
ervation of forests by the delegates
attending the horticultural conven-
ton now in session here.
Charges were made at the meeting
that the forests on the eastern slope
were being rapidly destroyed, and
that the state land board was selling
the public land without consulting the
interests of the state. The saw mills.

tural interests were vitality affected.
said the delegates. by the destruction
of the forests. Unless steps were
taken to preserve them. and to create
larger reserves, the drouths would be
come so frequent that the irrigation
interests of the state would be ire
parably injured
The plan to preserve the forests is
to call mass meetings of the farmers
throughout the state and to interest
them in the question. The first thing
that will be done will be to draw up
resolutions asking the state Lesisla-
ture to interest itself in the matter,
A committee on resolutions was
adopted. consisting of A. Nj. Patton,
chairman, w. G. NJ. Stone and Thomas
Johnson. A resolution also will be
drafted to be sent to Congress. This
will be done tonight. when two. hours
will be devoted to working out the
details of the plan.
The third step in the plan is to Sc
cure the cooperation of the state land
board For this purpose the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That the incoming land
board of the state of Colorado be re-
quested by this annual convention of
horticulturists not to grant further
concessions to mill men who purpose
the destruction of forests"

nor Orman requesting that like sum
be offered by the state. The present
situation was discussed at length.
1t is argued that $4,000 will insure
the best efforts of officers and detec-
tives to discover the murderer and
that the money will be well spent in
case of success. The popular opinion
is that Manager Collins was murdered
by hired assassin and that in appre-
hending him the instigators of the
crime will be found
A movement is on foot for the rails
ing of $1,000 by popular subscription,
to be added to the general reward. The
Smuggler-UniOn company, it is expect
ed, will offer $1,000.
The aggregate reward of $4,000 for
the body of Wesley E. Smith, who
''mysteriously disappeared, still
stands
Many runOrs are afioaU regarding
the closing of all the mines. Jacob Fill
Illus, general counsel for the Smuggler
company. said that the mine was shut
down out OF respect to the dead man
ager, notices having been posted this
morning to that effect. AS to the
length of cessation of work, Mr.. Fill
Illus says that no one knows its prob
able duration. and it will not be known
until meeting of the directors of the
company IS held to determine upon the
policy in the matter.
No clew TO the assassin has yet
been discovered. Some few indiTid
uaIs have made remarks and are being
closely watched to see Of any clew may
be found.
The threatening letters received by
Manager Collins were similar to those
received by other managers and su-
perintendents OF this district. What
effect the assassination OF MIR Collins
will have upon their actions remain TO
be seen.
The body of Mr.. Collins will be in
TERED at Fairmount cemetery Sunday.

COAL OPERATORS AND MINERS
MAY REACH AN AGREEMENT

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 21.-The mine
rorkers, through their representatives,
tave agreed with the mine owners to
attempt to adjust the differences ex-
lsting between them outside the anth-
iacite coal strike commission.
The proposition was made on COM
iromise basis. and negotiations, 1t is
Expected, will at once be entered upon.
i;ith reasonable hope OF settlement,
with the aid of the arbitrators.
The rough proposition which is to
iorm the basis of negotiations is ten
Ter cent increase in wages. nine
our day and trade agreements be
tween the miners and the company by
.rhich they are employed. The only
Inc OF the four demands not touched
t9on is that of the weighing of coal by
Tie legal ton.
While both sides have expressed a
willingness TO settle their differences
imong themselves. it is not to be con-
trued that il carries with il the &C
leptance of the terms proposed. They
Ire mentioned only as basis, II Is
Understood. from which settlement is
10 be effected. II is possible that the
foundation already laid can be
wrecked by either party holding out
strongly against some question and
thus leave the whole matter in the
hands of the commissioners, who
meantime will act as a sort OF a board
Of conciliation. rather than as board
of arbitration.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made for an outside
fettlement until it was practically so
iutimated by Judge Gray. chairman OF
the commission. who read a carefully

prepared announcement from the
bench"
The move. one of the most import
ant in the whole history of the coal
strike. created q mild sensation when
it became known. The surprise was
all the greater from the fact that num-
erous persons. from the President OF
the United States down. and many Or
ganizations, from the National Civic
Federation to the small boards of trade
of the small mining towns, had failed
to bring the two parties together. 1t
was all brought about by both sides
seeing that the proceedings before the
commission would be interminable and
in the intermingling of the lawyers
for both sides the outside agreement
proposition was broached and taken
up.
Wayne Macveagh, who carried on
such a brilliant cross-eNamination Of
President Mitchell. is given credit for
bringing about the present situation.
He went to New York after he had
finished with Mr.. Mitchell. and had
conference with certain persons con-
reCted with the coal industry, among
them. it is rumored, J. P. Morgan He
was in New York to-day in connection
with the matter.
In order to give all parties an op-
portunity to confer on the state OF af-
fairs an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow morning. 1t is probable
that q suggestion for a week or ten
days adjournment will be adopted.
All the large companies have not
yet assented to the proposed outside
agreement. but in all probability they
will consent to work as unit, as they
did during the strike.
