Colors That Last Longest.

- AS twilight approaches a garden hlled
with brilliant flowers the red flowers
will first lose their gorgeous color as
the light diminishes. and then the grass
and leaves will appear grayish. line
last flowers to part with their distinc-
tive color-white flowers being left out
of the account-will be the blue or vic,

Westchester.

Is TO be the name OF tue new au-
dition to Middlebourne, which Is
being opened up In the'west part of
town. The parties who have pur-
chased the James Staley tract of
land will lay 1t out In building
ground and sell a part of the lots at
public auction In the near future.
It has been we'll nigh impossible to
secure building sites at reasonable
prices and this move will bring In.
to the market lots at reasonable
prices which can be bought by
those Wanting to build homes or
buy lots to hold for speculation.
1t Is understood that the parties
buying the property are from
Fairmont aud Morgantown. Sever.
al of our Middlebourne boys are
located at these two towns and so
glowing has been their picture of
our town and so sauguine they
have been about her future pros
poets that these people have been
induced to come out and investi-
gate. Their investigation having
proved satisfactory they decided to
invest their with US and help de-
velop our town.
The trouble here has been that
there has been no room mo direc-
ton In which building grounds
could be: secured. A great many
would Have built but available
building sites could not be secured
unreasonable prices. Work Is now
progressing nicely at this place, a
corps of engineers having been put
to work on Wednesday laying out
tine streets and alleys and plating |
out the lots. The lots are being |
made good and large and so far as
possible the streets and alleys made
to conform to those already laid
out In other addition.
A large force of laborers will be
puff to work at once as the grounds
are to be cleaned up and some ex.
tensive grading done.
The managers promise that be-
fore the lots will be put on sale a
great real estate Improvement will
have been consumated.
We understand that when the
lots are.soid, at least one lot will be
given away. This will make 1t
interesting to those who attend the
sale as everyone will have an equal
chance at the free lot.
Middlebourne has never had
boom but has been growing along
steadily and real estate commands
q good price. There Is not likely to
be any boom but when we get the
new electric road aud some other
contemplated Improvements and
when we shall get some outside
capital invested In real estate here
things will improve greatly, bust.
ness will be stimulated and real
estate will advance In price little
more rapidly.
The people who will conduct the
lot sale are. substantial business
and professional men. {. w. Ar
nett, President OF the Fairmont
Trust company, Prof. Russell L.
Morris head of the civil engineer
ing department of the West Vir'
ginia University, J. G. Prichard and
c. L. Michael prominent young
business meu of Fairmont are said
to be the people at the head of the
enterprise.
Perhaps to no other two men do
Fairmont and Morgantown owe so
much of their present prosperity
than to G. w. Arnett and Russell

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness IS caused
by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is infamed
you have rumbling sound or I'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out aud this tube restored to
Its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever, nine cases ont
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
Is nothing but an infamed condi-

The Longing For Peace.

Peace must entertain the heart and
mind of every man, because that is
what he is longing for. 1t is either
peace with God or among men. The
meaning of this peace is best under
stood by contrast with the anxiety,
strife and suffering of the world. In,
this light one is forced to believe in the
words of st. Augustine that peace is
the tranquility of order which has
been established between man and his
Creator" Once this order is broken
strife and worry ensue.-Mgr. OCon-
nell, Catholic, Washington.

KFNTON FOLKS EXCITED
OVER ARREST OF THIEVES
THREE MEN WHO HAD BEEN GUILTY Of
LARCENY ARRESTED LAST FRIDAY
Experience of Constable FOuraker in Taking
the Three Able-BOdied Prisoners From
KentOn to Dover In a Wagon.

Constable Charles Fouraker Of Ken
ton Friday made clever capture Of
three men who have been plying the
trade OF larceny for many months past
IN the vicinity of Kenton. He came
upon two of the men and arrested them
before they were able to make their
escape. The other one was captnrad
with some difficulty, and all three
were taken to Dover and lodged in
jail. The prisoners are James Powell
Thomas Smith and James Clough.
and are apparently respectable men
when not intoxicated. Wednesday
night they stole lot of chickens from
T. Is. Downes, merchant at Kenton.
and also from Jerry Teat, residing
near that town. The chickens after
being stolen from Teat's, were taken
to the store of Downes, where they
were sold, and later in the evening
were stolen from the coops of Downes
and sold to another merchant next
morning. There are still others in
the gang and Constable Fouraker has
gone to Philadelphia, where he ev-
poets to capture three others of the
gang, who left on a Smyrna boat with
their booty, stolen from residences
and stores in Kenton. Constable
Foreaker has been hunting for the
thieves for sixteen months.
In taking the prisoners from Kenton
to Dover, Constable Fouraker had an
experience that might have placed him
In an uncomfortable predicamept.
The three were strong able-bodied
men and before leaving Kenton thew
were tied fast. There was no one in
the wagon but Constable Fouraker and
the three prisoners. In some manner
one of the prisoners succeeded in
breaking partly loose and instead of
Fastening to escape he pretended he
was asleep and while snoring, he was
busy trying to unite the rope of his ac-
completes. Constable Fouraker felt
suspicious that the fellow was putting
on more than necessary and looking
back found him united and the knots
loosened on the other fellows. Hold
ing the fellow at bay with his revolver,
he drove up to near farm and secur-
ing more rope tied the prisoners more
securely and drove on to Dover.

COMING SESSION OF CONFERENCE.
Names Suggested as Probable Successors ot
Presiding Elders COrkran and MartindsIe
uOssip Concerning Pastoral Changes.

Speculation is rife relative to the
result of the coming session of the
Wilmington Methodist Conference.
which will convene at Easton, Nd, ,
on March 18th, says the EUery Eyen-
ing. Relative to the Easton and
Salisbury presiding elderships various
names have been mentioned, includ-
ing Revs. c. I. Wyatt of Middletown.
Z. A. Grise of Easton, W. L. S. Muir
ray and c. W. Prettyman of Whining
ton, Vaughan S. Collins of Smvrna
and 5. M. Morgan of Milford.
There will be but few changes in the
Wilmington churches. Rev. Robert
IA. Stephenson, now pastor of Elkton
M. +. Church, has accepted a call ex-
tended by Scott Church of Whining
ton. Rev. c. w. Prettyman, pastor
OF Brandywine Church, Wilmington.
has accepted a call extended by the
Elkton church. Rev. G. p. Jones.
pastor of the church at Hurlock. has
been invited to become pastor of
Brandywine church. Rev. William F.
Dawson has notified Wesley Church
that he desired to make a change and
call has been extended to Rev.
Asbury Burke of Frankford. Rev.
Alfred Smith, pastor of Epworth
church, Wilmington, desires a change.
but who will succeed him is not
known.
The coming session of Conference
Will be presided over by Bishop Earl
Cranston of Portland, Ore, and after
all, the changes will depend upon his
decision in the matter. The reason
Tor the changes in the presiding elder
ships of Easton and Salisbury dis
tricts Is that under the law of the
General Conference, presiding elder
cannot serve in that capacity, on the
same district, more than six wears.
Rev. Wilbur F. Corkran, d, D., is
presiding elder of the Easton district,
and Rev. Thomas E. Martindale, d.
d., of the Salisbury district.
All of the Methodist churches are
making preparation for the session of
Conference. They are closing up
their financial matters for the year
and arranging other preliminary mat
ters. An effort will be made to have
the Conference accept the invitation
extended by Harrison Street Church
OF Wilmington to hold the session
next year at that church. 1t is likely.
however, that similar effort will be
made by churches in other parts of
the Conference, including Dover.

Despite the many rainy SUNDAYS
and the bad conditions of the public
roads, the Rev. G. l.. Hardestv has
been successful in making his col
lectlons and will go to Conference
this year with everything fully up to
apportlonment. Pastor Hardesty takes
great pride IN this department of his
ministry and says that in the last
twenty years he has never gone to
Conference with his collections be-
hind. Pastor Hardesty lis just clos
ing his third year, and while many of
his Pensioners would like to see him
returned, some feel that one so good
and wide awake as he, is deserving of
larger and better appointment. The
Circuit has thrived we'll under his
ministry and he goes to Conference
with as good record as could possi-
bly, be made considering the incon
venience of making the rounds of his
appointments, at the meeting of the
Quarterly Conference of the circuit
yesterday afternoon Pastor Hardesty
was rendered a unanimous call to re-
turn.
