THOROUGHFARE NECK.
Friendship M. E. Sunday School Excursion
TO National Park the Event of the
Week-Anthrax Among Cattle.
Special Correspondence to the TIMES.


TBOROUGHFARE NECK, August 10
The annual excursion and picnic of
Friendship M. E. Sunday School
came off Thursday last, leaving Flem.
ing's Landing on the Steamer G. F.
Brady, which was chartered for that
purpose, few minutes past seven a.
m. for National Park. Despite threat
ening weather, the attendance was
large and the excursion was a grand
success financially, netting the school
about fifty dollars. The excursionists
were landed at the Park at twelve
noon, and a very pleasant four hours
were spent there. Washington Park
offered more attractions for the young
people of the party and the majority of
them hied themselves thither. In
order to get over the bar at the mouth
of Smyrna Greek it was necessary to
leave at four p. M. Laughing maidens
and gallant swains made merry the
homeward trip with music and games.
Many of the young men of this vicin-
ity have found the trolly cars, offices
and shops of Philadelphia and Cam
den more attractive than farm life.
and Eros has been very idle of late.
Albeit, it is safe to predict the result
that is sure to follow the romantic
ride on the beautiful Delaware, and
freely assert that Rev. Albert Chand-
Ter, pastor of Friendship NJ. E.
Church, will break the spell soon as
the sighs of maidens fair. blended
with sweet music and splashing of
waves is a combination the strongest
son of Delaware cannot resist during
these times of prosperity.
Mr.. B. F. David lost fine COW last
week, which is supposed to have died
of anthrax. The ears of the animal
were sent to Newark to be examined
to ascertain the fact. The other stock
was inoculated at once and there is no
signs of the disease going farther.
Anthrax, also called black-leg and
quarters evil, is fatal infectious dis
ease of cattle and sheep due to bacil-
lus anthracis, and characterized bv
the formation of hard ulcers at the
point of inOculation and by symptoms
of collapse. The disease works very
rapidly, proving fatal in few hours
after the first symptoms. The germs
appear to live indefinitely in the car
casses of dead animals and may be
carried by buzzards. It has been
more or less an epidemic on the
marshes near the mouth of Blackbird
Greek, they being first infected by 8
bull washing ashore, which was thrown
overheard from a cattle boat.
A social party was given at the resi-
dence of James David last Friday
evening. A very pleasant evening g
was spent in social games and other
pastlmes. Some of the boys were not
a little disappointed when refresh.
ments were served as the girls had not
sufficiently recovered from the ex
curslon to contribute the usual supply
of cake. Notwithstanding all con
fessed a very enjoyable evening.

Freak Legislation.

Call no man wise until you have
read his letters, we should call no
people wise until we have read the
bills introduced by their representa-
tiyes in the Legislature Judged by
that test, the people of California
are wiser than those of any other state
for there has been less in the way OF
freak legislation at Sacramento this
winter than in any other state capital
where the legislature was in erup-
tion.
Recently the Call directed attention
to a good many startling bills submit
ted by Legislators in Kansas, Mime
sofa aud Illinois, aud now it is but
fair to give other states showing.
A New York solon has asked the
legislature of that state to make it
lawful for a man to spank his wife or
his grown up daughter if she remains
out later than 10 o'clock at night.
The bill is the outcome of an incident
of life on Long Island. a man told
his daughter she should never stay out
after 10 p. m. She disobeyed the or
der and ;hereupon he went to dance
where size was tripping the hours away
anl, III the presence of che othor rev.
elers, gave her a good spanking and
was good deal OF excitement among
the neighbors over the matter and the
father was prosecuted The magis-
trate upheld the patarnal right, but as
it il feared another magistrate might
reverse the decision, the effort was
made TO confirm the right by direct
legislative enactment.
A Pennsylvania legislator proposed
bill to subsidize large families and
provide gold medals for the mothers
of such families 1t provides pay
ment of $40 to mother of six chill
dren and $50 for mother of nine
children. Such rewards of course are
not enough to stimulate ambition and
would not be temptation to overpo-
pulatiou. Neither would payment
of them bankrupt the state. The bill
may be regarded therefore as rec.
oguition of merit rather than a
reward, but there is not enough Doodle
in it to encourage hope that it will
be enacted.
In Missouri bill provides that al
persons found in Missouri claiming tc
be nublemen, whether such claims be
rightful or fraudulent. shall be brand
ed aud made to take out license.
The object of this measure is to pro-
tect heiIesses of the state from foreign
huNtulHTNIss
An Indiana bill provides that any
woman who refuses offers of marriage
from more than three men shall be
subject TO fine of $500 and thereafter
shall be fined 500 every time she re-
fuses an offer from a new suitor The
object is to encourage the girls to
marry and to assure young men "A fair
chance when they make proposal.
Such are some Of the measures now
under consideration by the lawmakers
of the eastern states. and we may draw
our own conclusions as to what kind
Of people elected them to office. - San

/ THE HABIT OF HASTE

Hastily Swallowed Food and Irregular

Meals IRE sources of Much suffering
in This Country.
One popularity of Americans upon
which visitors from other countries COM
ment is the habit of haste. This extends
even to eating. Meals are eaten hurriedly
and irregularly; food is swallowed half
masticated and the stomach is unthink-
ingly neglected and abused to such an
extent that nine-tenths of our people are
dvspeptics. Take the case of Mrs. Ida
NJ Turro, the wife Of a prosperous far
mer at Brainerd, Crow Wing county,
Mimi. She says:
Irregular meals and too hurried eat
ing ruined my digestion and l was mis-
cradle until, by the aid of DIR. Williams

/ was in very low state of health, food
of any sort distressed me terribly, gas

myself. There was pain i'll my heart,
my bowels were constipated, | felt chilled
all the time and my flesh fell away till
I was horribly thin. The doctor gave
me medicine but it did not help me and
| kept growing worse until, at my
mothers suggestion, l began taking DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
They made me feel better very soon and
/ kept on taking them till my stomach

terms of praise"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure stomach
trouble by their tonic action, building
up the digestive organs and enabling
them to do the work that nature intended
them to do. Artificial ferments ana
predigested foods weaken the stomach
in many cases. Medicines should not
do the stomach's work but should put it
in condition to perform its natural
functions a diet book giving useful
information will be sent free on request
