Footwashing and Purifying by Fire.

Footwashing and Purifying by Fire.

and Protestants Of every variety. For in

rians, Baptists, Methodists. Associate Reform.
ers. Footwashers. und Firebands. Each of
these varieties OF religionists have among
them noble examples in holiness and In pure
ness Of living, and, Ike the Mormon wife,
they are all bent on lgoing TO heaven, and ex-
pect to find good place In their home beyond
the stars, where the subject OF good roads and
ugly mud holes will never disturb their
peaceful minds. The city TO which we are all
Fastening is paved with golden iblocks, and
lighted by the presence Of tho Great Am.

place, the necessity for guardsmen. locks and
bars no longer exists, and all 10 serene and

Each class OF the religionists referred to, are
striving for purity and higher living. but the
Footwashers and the Firebrands are the cul.
mination Of the good that should characterize
the earth and its Inhabitants. Following the
example OF Lot, who entertained angels,
whom he required to wash their feet before
going TO bed, 30 the Footwsshers Of today add
the publication that comes to the best Of
earth by the use Of water. When the average
religionist has attained the highest standards
yet he must be washed to become whole.
The Firebands would purify as by fire. and
would consume in the destroying element
all that is evil.
Tine seeds OF sin and death would be
banished from the living temples of their i'm
perishable souls. The members after being
subjected to the fire test, may 60 up higher

ready for the journey to the spirit land.

VEST AND HOAR
MAKE SPEECHES
Former Scores Senators, Say
ing They Are Afraid to
Take Duty OFF Coal

Washington, Jan. Yesterday In
the senate was eventful because of a
notable speech by Senator Hoar on hiS
bill regulating trusts and an attack by
Senator Vest. of Missouri. on protected
industries through the operation of the
Dingley law Senator Hoar's utter
ances were listened to with marked at
tention. He said that nearly all
thoughtful men in this country are
agreed that some legislation, state or
national, ought to be had for the regu.
lation and control of what are called
trusts and of large masses of capi-
tai accumulated by corporations or ar
tifcial persons holding property and
conducting business without individual
liability. There was, he said, a gem
eral feeling of insecurity and alarm
about the matter, and We were dealing
with a real peril and not with fancied
or imaginary danger. He argued that
II his bill should become a law and
prove effective no corporation engag-
ing in the commerce which is within
the jurisdiction of congress can keep
its condition a secret Should the bill
not prove effectual, he contended that
1t would be easy to extend its oper-
alton by imposing q like personal la
bility on every stockholder.
Senator Vest used as a text for his
remarks his resolution introduced on
Monday. instructing the committee on
finance to prepare and report a bill re-
moving the duty on coal Feeble in the
extreme and supporting himself on his
desk, he called attention to the condi-
tlons OF distress which had arisen as a
result of the shortage in the coal sup
ply. There was breathless silence in
the chamber as he spoke, and every
senator on the floor turned in his di-
rection in order to catch his words. He
said that the question was no longer
a partisan one, but one OF humanity,
and that we are not on the verge of a
crisis, but actually in it. He charged
the Republican senators with being ST.
lent and dumb or unwilling to take any
action answering the appeals of the

rHE BoY AND THE RIFLE

Every year the angel Of death reaps
part of his harvest because OF the
careless use of firearms. There are
alwavs hunters who have the fatal
habit Of mistaking a friend for deer
with the result that there is one friend
less. Boys and young men in the hunt
ing season go forth with varied as
sortment of shooting-irons and return
frequently manned and dshgured.
And that the habit may not be dis
couraged, we place opportunities be-
fore the young which they eagerly seiz'
in order to develop these God-giver
tastes. Many parents are careful t'

TIE NEW LEVY COURT

The Levy Court reorganized yester-
day by electing Philemma Chandler
president He was the choice of the
caucus OF the Republican members,
and his selection is doubtless due to
desire on the part OF his colleagues to
recognize his long and efficient SER
vice. In experience and character we
are warranted in the conclusion that as
far as the power OF the president of the
court goes, there will be no failure TO
maintain the high standard already
set.
It Is with regret that we see Mr.. Will
Its leaving his post as president Of the
body He has served the people OF New
Castle well, as our present financial
standing Will attest But the reform
that has been apparent has been due to
hno one man. but TO majority OF the
members. Mr. Wilits will doubtless
fnd opportunities fer as great useful
ness on the floor as in the chair, and in
this view we are certain he will coin-
eide.
We feel sure that the new era Of hon
est dealing and efficient management
which has been inaugurated by the
Levy Court, will continue The cleo
tion Of Mr.. Hopkins as a member was q
cause for congratulation.. In point OF
absolute honesty he stands mchal-
Ilenged. and his business sense and in
dustry are werl-known. There are
those who. because OF personal disap-
polntments in the organization. are
making foolish predictions. These
should attract no attention, save to in
spire the members OF the new court tC
make even a better record than Tho
old.
Il is due TO Mr.. Willis that th'
Evening Journal should say that upoi
the organization Of the Old court w
protested. feeling that because Of Ger
tain political alliances, the best result
! would be impossible; but in that par
lticular we were mistaken. Mr.. Whlli

MAN FRIGHTENS WOMEN
Entered Several South Wilmington
Homes While Trying to Find
His Own House

A drunken man in South Wilmington
caused several Of the residents in that
portion Of the city to have a scare that
required some time to overcome. He
could not find where he lived, and be-
gan going in houses along the streets,
thinking they were his own. In view
Of the numerous robberies in South
Wilmington last week, every unknown
person is looked upon with suspicion,
and when he began going in the houses
last night he was greeted by screams
from frightened females, who offered
him all they had if he would spare
their lives. In a maudlin way he would
tell them he was looking for his home
and stumble out. Several houses were
entered in this manner, but he finally
found his home, and from the sounds
that emerged from the house after hf
arrived home, he received a warmer
reception than a robber would in many
cases.
