Railroad officials at Dover and Clay
ton have been greatly annoyed at the
announcement that they will all be
obliged to move to Wilmington after
the new station and offices are built
there, about two years hence. When
this move is made the offices at Clay
ton will practically be abandoned and
all, or nearly all, the employees con-
nected Herewith will be obliged to
move their families to Wilmington.
This will affect Superintendent Holh-
day and all others who live here as
we'll as those who reside in Clayton
and Smyrna. This is doubtless the
reason why the company did not build
the new station contemplated for
Dover and the question naturally
arises as to what will become of the
property occupied by Superintendent
Holiday at Dover or the eproperty own
ed by the other officials in Clayton.

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.
Discussed at the Bremen Conference
of Temperance Workers.


BERLIN, April 19.-Mrs. Mary H. Hunt,
Of Boston, representing the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the Internation-
al Anti-alcohol Congress at Bremen. has
sent the following communication to the
representative here of the Associated Press:
Bremen, April 19.-The International An
ti-alcohol Congress, that meets biennially
on the continent, is closing it's ninth ses-
sion to-day. 1t has been in the matter of
attendance and well-known persons pres
ent the most remarkable of any session of
the congress. This body of 1.4O0 delegates,
notable in science and in the service of hu-
manity, as university professors or for
their hereditary rank, have come here from
fifteen different nations on two hemispheres.
Questions of religion and politics were
wisely ruled out of such varied assem-
blage. The subjects discussed were the
teachings of science concerning a moder-
ate use of alcohol and the effect of it's use
on every phase of human progress. Two
schools of thought were represented; the
moderates who called themselves the tenn
perate school, and the total abstainers who
are called the abstinence school, By COM
mon consent the congress passed no reso-
lutions but the applause for the testimony
of science and experience on behalf of to-
tai abstinence showed the moderates to be
in the minority.
1.-THE statement of DIR. August Forel, cne
of the foremost authorities in the world
on brain and nerve diseases, that neither
science nor experience furnishes evidence
to justify calling alcohol a food called out
prolonged acclamations. The papers read
by notable members of the congress dur
ing these six days will fill two or three vol
umes and soon will be printed for wide dis
tribution.
'The paper on Alcohol and Art by Prof
Berens, director of the German school of
art at Dusseldorf, was classic. He said
that alcohol by dulling the spiritual as
pirationS essential to the greatest work is
an enemy of the highest attainment in art.
"A paper on Scientific Temperance Edu-
cation in the Public Schools in the United
States by an American representative
twenty speakers took part and nearly
every one commended the extension of the
American method for the prevention of in
temperance"

and that that ruler promised acquiescence
