KENTON.'
The Sad Death of Gilbert Wright-Local
and Personal Mention.

oAO CLoOlldl NASullOus
Special Correspondence for the TINES
KENToN, March T. Notwithstanding
the stormy weather and the bad con-
dition of the roads for the past few
days, our town has presented quite a
busy scene. Our streets have been
full of wagons loaded with household
goods moving from the old home of
last year to the new one for this year,
but things are becoming more settled
now.
The Literary Club has deemed it
best to postpone its supper to be held
in the hall to Wednesday evening,
March 18th. All other arrangements
remain as given last week.
The fourth quarterly conference for
Kenton circuit was held in Kenton
church last Monday morning. All
three points were represented and the
reports showed the work progressing.
The ladies of Central Church will
hold a supper at the home of Mr..
Frank Luff on Thursday evening of
next week. If this should be stormy
it will be held on the following even
ing.
The Presiding Elder, DIR. W. F.
Corkran, will preach at Blackiston at
$50 o'clock next Sunday afternoon,
March 9th.
Death of Gilbert Wright-Seldom if ever
was our community more deeply stirred
than was the case on last Friday even
ing by the death of Gilbert Wright,
the seventeen year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eben Wright, of this town
On the Friday before he complained a
noon of not feeling we'll and decided
I not to return to school until he should
| feel better, but on Saturday he wa
worse and on Monday it could be seel
e that he had developed case of scarle
I. fever. He fingered on and continue,
g to grow worse until last Friday even
o ing at a quarter to eight he passe
}, away. Gilbert was a model youn
d man. He was converted and joine
! the ch 1rch in 1896 when but 10 year
e of age and since that time had lived
I life devoted to Christ and Hi
church. He was a general favorite {
e all who knew him, for it may be trul
n said of him, none knew him but
IL love HIM. He was an active membt
< of the Epworth League and was librt
"a rian of the Sunday School. Thong
IN young, he has left beautiful examp
N of Christian life. The Epworth Leagr
v and Miss Manning, principal of oil
~ public school, showed their high r
a gard for him in the way of beautif
" floral tributes. Because of the drea
lt ed disease the burial was strict
IN private, but memorial service will
OF held for him in the future. His pa
e. ents and the entire family have o
~ deepest sympathy in their sore b
Us reavement. Interment was made
lS Brynzion cemetery, KentOn, on Su
lu day.

Conductor Isaac T. Parker of the
Delaware Railroad pays a high COM
pliment to the patrons of that road.
He says no finer people travel in this
country and no railroad is under the
direction of kinder or better officials.
There is never trouble in handling a
crowd on that railroad. The people
are pleasant and look upon the train
crews as their freinds. The governor,
the chief justice, the chancellor, and
in fact all of the high officials of the
state always have kind word for the
trainmen and their freinds. The other
conductors agree with what General
Parker says, and the public agrees
that no finer set of trainmen are to be
found than those ON the Delaware
Railroad and the other railroads run
ming through Wilmington.
The report of ex-Comptroller Smith,
the Pennsylvania representative at
Chestertown, concerning the moving
of the Chestertown railroad station,
has been sent to Supt. Holiday and
definite action is looked for at an early
date. The land for the right of way
will cost about $4,000, Mrs. UsiltOn
agreeing to take $2,O for the land
through her farm. The grading and
filling in will cost $4, 900 or $5, 900 more
and new station another thousand.
Thus this improvement means about
$4,000 to the railroad company. But
a new station will be built at Chester
town anyhow, the contract having been
given out already. 1t will be what is
known as the cottage style and be sim
liar to the pretty station at Green's
boro. A new tank house of stone will
also be erected at Chestertown at once

ECCENTRIC RAILWAYS.
How Engineer Overcome Difficult
ties in Construction Which Ap-
pear InsurmOuntabIe.

AS the iron track is bound to force
its way into most corners of the world,
it is not surprising that some lines of
railway exist which are striking evil
dence of a singularly bold conception
carried out in the face of obstacles
which seemed almost insurmountable.
Sometimes, says the London Globe,
the route of the future line lies across
q desert; then the great law of the
compensation of nature seems to make
itself felt, for to balance the saving
of time and money, due to the fact that
long tunnels will not have to be cut
through hills or mountains, the engi-
neers are confronted by the total alb
sence of three essential elements of
construction, namely, wood, iron and
water, which have to be transported
along the newly laid line as it stretches
its low length across the desert.
Russia's Transcaspian railway, now
know as the Central Asian railway,
was built under these conditions; thou
sands of logs of timber were needed
and the region traversed cannot boast
of a single tree for more than ZOO
miles. This timber was required for
building the long bridge, two miles
in length, over the river Amu-Darya.
This bridge was always the weak point
in that highly important railway, and
it has been replaced recently by n
stone bridge. Between Merv and Char
jul the line had to be carried over
shifting sands GA feet deep. When the
work is being carried on in such re.
gions the trains become a little town
on wheels. They are composed of two
storied wagons, which contain sleep.
ing accommodations, butchers stalls,
canteens, grocery stores and FORCES.
As the Tr~anssiberian railway grew in
length it was resolved by the author
tiles that the workmen should have
their W "church car" A wagon was
fitted up accordingly as a church, with
a little peal Of bells in the alcove above
the entrance.

have to go clear to the end of that awful line I'll Just die, and what's
more, I'll miss an important luncheon engagement
The young man would gladly have had her step in ahead of him,
but it occurred to him to look around to see what effect the request
had On those Immediately behind him. His look of inquiry met only
scowls of dsapproval; it would mean the taking of two or three min
ues of the time of every person in that long line, and here and there
he saw an exceedingly impatient face. He knew what the only alter
native was: Gracefully to step out of line and, with all undrsturbed
smile and bow, to say: Certainly, Miss -; take my place" But
just at that moment he remembered that his time was not his own and
that his mission was one of haste. All this, however, could not be ex-
planned satisfactorily in the second or two at his command. So he
Redeemed and-what did he do? What would one do? 1t might de-
pend some on ones nationality, and some on other things.
1t was unquestionably a case of justice versus chivalry. The hurry
and joshe of modern city life bring the two often face 10 face. If, as is
frequently asserted, chivalry is waning in America, is it not because the
love of justice, which has always been a strong American trait, is
growing still stronger? WAS THE OLD CHIVALRY lust?
WAS 1T NOT OFTEN A BOWLING TO SELFISHNESS? DOES
NOT THE LOVE OF JUSTICE, IF IT BE TEMPERED WITH
THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATIONS LEAD TO A TRUER
CHIVALRY, AND LEAVE LESS ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS
IN EITHER SEX? True, we are not rid of ~sel6shness by a good deal;
but it is doubtful If it is more common now than of old. 1t has always
been pretty evenly distributed among the various members of the hui
man family, of whatever
nationality color or sex. 1z4l% hz~~
