Cause of LOckiaW,

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t Is inactive so long as
exposed to the air. but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, ,and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the
most virulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all danger
of lockjaw avoided by applying Cham
berlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as
the injury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes such injuries to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
treatment. 1t is for sale by P. D. Cot
tingham & Co.

w. 7. U. Convention.

The Worcester County W.. O. T. U.
met i'll the M. E. Church of Snow Hill,
Maryland, recently in annual session.
Though the morning session was not
characterized by an attendance equal
even to our least sanguine hopes, there
were the requisite two or three to claim
the promise, and the usual routine work
of appointing committees. conference
of workers and noontide prayer were
observed.
Beside having our ever faithful county
president, Mrs. W. G.. Strickland, with
us, we were also favored throughout
the day and evening with the presence
and counsel of our State president, Mrs.
Mary r. Haslup. At the morning
meeting Mrs. Haslup and Mrs. Rebecca
Townsend, of Philadelphia, but at one
time our efficiene county president.
were made members of the convention
and both of them were very helpful in
matters of deliberation.
The afternoon session was opened
with prayer by Rev. A. Green, of the
M. E. Church, and most helpful
Bible reading was given by the rector
of the r. E.. Church, Rev. VIM. E.
Butler. The report of the correspond
ing secretary showed good work done
by all the Unions, but in some depart
ments the increase was especially
gratifying. The membership remains
about the same in the respective Unions
both in active and in honorary mem.

N. E. General Conference

An interesting feature of the quad
rennial session of the General Confer
ence of the M. E. Church. which will
meet in Los Angeles, California. next
May will be the election of at least five
bishops.
Interest of the election of ministerial
delegates from the Wilmington Oon-
ference is increasing, and various states
are being made. One proposes the four
presiding elders. Revs. Robert Watt,
D. D., 9. S. Baker, D. D.. w. e. Koons
and Adam Stengle. Another names
Revs. O. S. Baker. D. D.. Wilbur F.
Corkran. D. D., @. T. Wyatt, D. D.,
and 9. A. Grise. Still another offers
Revs Robert Watt, D. d., W. l. S.
Murray, D. d., A S. Mowbray, d. D.,
and T. A. H. O'Brien, D. u. The elec-
ton of lay delegates is also exciting
interest. To the list of probable candi-
dates published July 18th by Every Euen.
ing has been added the names. of R. D.
Jones of Snow Hill, George H. Hall of
Milford, E. James Tull of Pocomoke
City and John H. Kelley of Lewes. Mr..
Jones is member of the Maryland bar
and States attorney for Worcester
county. He is a prominent Methodist,
and was actively identified with the
new church movement. Snow Hill, after
the great work done there in erecting a
church surpassed by none on the East
ern Shore, thinks it is entitled to have
candidate and presents Mr.. Jones.

seen in their accustomed places in
front of the crate fireplace night after
night.
Unlike most haunted places, the Arm
strong cottage is not an old tumble
down house, but neat. cozy cottage
on one of the street corners in Car
Isle, la. 1t adjoins the Christian
church.
Night after night the people look
through the windows of the Armstrong
cottage and behold the two old folks
seated by the crate in their easy arm
chairs. as in the days when they were
alive.
Each evening the forms come grad
ually. taking on outline like a picture
thrown on screen. and they 60 as
gradually, like dissolving view from
q stereopticOn.
The public was soon thrown into a
spasm Of fear. it was all so uncanny
and uneXplainable. The spirits came in
broad daylight, in plain view of hun
dreds of people. There were no noe
turnal fears or superstitions that might
have worked upon the Imagination of
the affrighted people until they thought
they saw spooks. The ghosts were
there beyond any doubt.
Another popularity of the ghosts is
that they appear only on days when the
sun is shining. 1t is said of the Arm
strongs that they dreaded cloudy days
and would yorooi,, ir, +ho cooI,,c;o, 90
their home on such days, often with
the blinds down and the lamps lighted.
The spirit of Mrs. Armstrong is often
seen to lift the ear trumpet to the old
gentleman's mouth, and he talks with
her; but, though his lips are seen to
move, there is no sound.
Then small boy came to the rescue.
The boys were utterly cowed by the
ghosts and would not approach nearer
to the house than an outside window,
from which they could view the spir-
it's. But one evening as the sun was de-
clining a hazardous boy ran between
the Christian church and the Arm
strong cottage in search Of lost ball
which in playing "anty over had
fallen between the buildings. He heard
an awful noise above him, and he
glanced up. He gave gulp and looked
again. Then he sped around the Arm
strong cottage like mad until he reach
ed the window where the spirits were
discernible. He looked through at them
for full minute and gave a shout Of
exultation. The secret of the spirits was
discovered.
The Armstrong ghosts will continue
to be visible so long as the Christian
church stands next to the cottage and
SO long as the sun shines by day and
sinks in the west. The shadows will
come and go so long as the stained
glass windows remain in the Christian
church.
A couple of feet from the little cot
tage in the church is stained glass
window ''in memoriam' of an aged
couple. The cottage shuts off the light
inside the church so that the figures are
barely discernible from the church ex-
terror and almost forgotten in blur of
dust and cobwebs. But the sun shin
ing through them as it gently descends
casts their reflection through the Arm
strong windows into the rooms of the
little cottage. AS the sun sinks further
the figures take on new and fanciful
shapes. and as the sun disappears SO do
the spirits.
