A TOWN ISOLATED BY SMALLPOX.

Dover State News.
The village of Williamsburg, Nd, .
few miles from, Seaford, located on the
Cambridge a. Seaford railroad, is now
completely cut off from the outside
world. The railroad trains 60 by with
out stopping, and the residents of the
village are not allowed to leave the
town limits. This state of affairs has
been brought about by the spread of
smallpox, which has been raging in
that locality for several weeks past.
AS it had only appeared in light
form the people did not take any Pre-
caution whatever to prevent the spread
of the disease, and they freely mingled
with each other.
Last Tuesday, Station Agent Ander-
son, who is also postmaster, was taken
sick, and he Immediately telegraphed
to Clayton for relief. This WAS sent
at once, but it did not take the relief
agent long to size up the situation.
After living in mental agony for several
days, he telegraphed Superintendent
Holiday that he could stand the strain
no longer and that he had left the
affairs of the company in the hands Of
whoever might assume charge. After
thoroughly fumigating his clothing he
took a train for home. Mr.. Holiday
at once had the station closed. and
notified the government that no mails
would be delivered there until the
spread Of the disease abated. There
are 10 or 20 cases of smallpox in the
town. 1t is likely that the Maryland
State Board Of Health will take the
matter in hand

The Peace Terms.

Aside from the fact that the Beers
will have to recognize King Edward
VII as their lawful sovereign, the
terms of peace by which the war be-
tween the South African Republics
and Great Britain was formally brought
to an end is highly favorable to them.
The provisions with respect to tenn
porary aid for those who are left i'm
poverished by the war, the use of the
Dutch language in the schools and
courts of justice, the exemption Of tho
liberty and property of those who were
engaged in the war, the proffer by
Great Britain OF money loan in
aid of the Beers without the require
ment of interest, and the exemption OF
landed property from special taxation
to pay war expenses are all very favora.
BILE to the vanquished Beers. The gen.
eral rule of war is for the victor tt
compel the vanquished to pay the
money costs involved.
AS to the wiping out of the Boer Re
publics, it is doubtful il that will have
any appreciable effect upon the caus,
of popular government. For these re-
publics were republics in name only
They were more like oligarchies, anc
they carried the evils of prescription
and taxation without representation tt
very severe extent. Their naturaliza
tion laws were also very harsh. Alto
gether, there was nothing in the form
of government that prevailed anon
these South African burghers to com
mend it to the favorable opinion O
those who believe that real republi
can form of government, based upol
the consent of the governed" is tn
very best form for communities of peo
pie to live under.

Kenney Praised By Adaleks.

The following is an editorial from
the State Sentinel of Dover, paper
owned and controlled by Mr. ]. Edward
Addicks:
Mr.. Richard r. Kenney makes no
denial of his intention to nominate
men inIKent county that will, if elected,
stand for "Kenney or Nobody.S The
Sentinel has no hesitation in commend
ing this attitude on the part of Mr..
Kenney, provided he has u majority in
a caucus. This journal admires good
sticker and hates gutter. Besides,
the majority should rule. Nothing is
more exasperating, nothing more I'M
endurable, than the thwarting of the
will Of the people BY few select hypo-
critics, pretending to be better than
other people, but really intent on
securing their own power and self
interest. The game of politics is a
great game. 1t is not made for fools,
but for brave, constant, adroit men.
There are rules, however, that should
govern even in this game, and one Of
them is, "don't squeal il the other
fellow beats, I" This maxim appeals
even to the callow instincts of boyhood.
Let the game go on.
We only quote this editorial to show
that in the opinion of Mr.. j. Edward
Addicks, as expressed by his newspaper
organ, Mr.. Richard R. Kenney would
be to him a most congenial colleague
in the United States Senate. Whether
this opinion will be satisfactory to the
Democratic voters of Delaware remains

SPECIAL PROMOTION DENIED.
General sternberg win Retire With the
- Grhle of Brigndier.

Washington, June 3. In the House
yesterday motion was made to sus-
pend the rules and pass bill provid-
ing for tho advancement of Surgeon
General Sternberg to the grade of
major general, and place him on the
retired list with that grade. Gen.
Sternberg now holds the rank of briga-
dier, and will be retired for ago on
Sunday next. The bill to promote him
was passed by the Senate recently, and
was reported favorably from the House
military committee. The motion to
pass it yesterday required two-thirds
vote, but it failed to receive majority,
the record standing: Yeas, IS; nays,
1903. This vote is regarded as indica
tive OF the feeling in the House against
measures of this character. The bill
cannot possibly bc passed in time to
serve the purpose intended; and as
Gen. Sternberg will go to the retired
list within few days, all hope of
securing for him the desired promo
ton is destroyed
4 similar bill is pending before the
| Senate, with favorable report from
the military committee, for the pro
| motion of Major General Brooke ia
the grade of lieutenant general Gen.
Brooke will reach the retiring age
July 25th. Yesterdays vote on the
Sternherg bill has discouraged the
friends of Gen. Brooke. Several other
general officers will reach the retiring
age within u months, Lieut.. Con.
Miles being among the number. AT.
iirmative action on the Sternberg and
Brooke bills would have encouraged
the friends of these general officers &c
make an effort for their advancement
on the retired list to a grade above
that now held by them. All OF thom
have rendered long and faithful service,
but it is commended by those opposed
to the measures alluded to that none
rendered the quality of service that
would entitle them to the exception
and unusual advance proposed.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The Memorial Day address of Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday at Arlington
cemetery was a notable deliverance, as
the Executive made u defence of the
Philippine army. He declared that it
had performed most arduous task,
undor circumstances of the greatest
difficulty, and, while there may have
been some instances of cruelty, the
President gavo assurance that the
guilty would be punished. In speaking
of the ultimate destiny of the Fill
pinos, the President said it could net
be decided whether they are TO exist
independently of us or be knit to us by
ties of common friendship ana in
terest" until they shall have shown
their capacity for self government.
There was general observance of Me-
mortal Day throughout the country.

Ghosts would brighten many people
who are not afraid of germs. Yet the
germ is real danger. If this micro.
soopic animalism could be magnified
to a size in proportion to its deadliness
it would show like a giant python. or
fire breathing dragon. The one fact to
remember is that the germ is power
less to harm the body when the blood
is pure. 1t is far easier to keep tho
germ out than to drive it out after it
obtains a hold in the system. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the most powerful and perfect of blood
purifying medicines. 1t increases the
quantity as we'll as the quality of the
blood, and enables the body to resist
disease, or to throw it Off if disease
has obtained q footing in some weak
organ. Wherever the digestion is i'm
paired, the nutrition of the body is
diminished, for the blood is made from
the food which is eaten, and half di-
gasted food cannot supply the body
with blood in quantity and quality
adequate to it's needs. For this CON
dition there is no remedy equal to
"Golden Medical Discovery. :" It cures
ninety eight out of every hundred
persons who give it o fair trial. When
there is constipation Dr. Pierco's

treasury Statement for May.


The monthly treasury statement
issued Monday, shows that there was
an decrease in the available cash dur
ing tho month just closed of $40, Co.,
gag, which swells that fund to $780,
$50, go. One year ago this fund was
sl62, $40, COO 1t is very likely that the
surplus for June will exceed that for
last month, and that the available cash
at the close of the fiscal year will be
in the neighborhood of s2l0, 600, 900.
Tho retention of this large sum in the
Treasury is not only preiudicial to the
business interests, but annoying TO the
treasury officials, who are without
authority to do anything to reduce it,
except TO purchase bonds, Some relief
is afforded by distributing this money
among the national banks, and that
has been done, the banks now holding
SllS, 5l2, 90, an decrease of about
$4,000, 900 during tho month. These
figures do not include money held by
the banks that is to the credit Of dis
bursting officers. Including that, the
banks nov hold nearly Sl25, 600 GOO,
against about 5l0l, COZ, coo held one
year ago
The total of the gold fund, which in
cludes the reserve and trust funds, is
