Dear Old Friend:-I have been in
tending to write you ever since I
first saw in the REGISTER your I'M
fortunate accident, but it has been
deferred from day to .day-side-
tracked by business demands, etc.
till | realize the truth of the old
adage, representation is the thief
of time"
Let me in the beginning of this
letter express to you our grief and
extend to you our deepest SYM
pathy in your affliction. How
painful it must be to be confined
as you are, and how much worse
for one of your advanced age than
for a younger person, but doubt
less the experiences of your past
life have been such as to mature
for you a spirit of patience, which
can now be brought into exercise
at will for your benefit. | have
thought of you a great deal since
your confinement, and have wished
so much that | could be with you.
We would in our minds and con-
versation go over the scenes and
incidents of our young manhood,
when together with many others
we enlisted in the great battle of
real life. How varied have been
our experiences since, and in what
different paths we have been led,
always, as | trust, by the Unseen
hand of an unerring Providence.
| am sure that whatever may have
come to us has been for our good.
Neither of us, perhaps, have met
with the success in business we
hoped for; but it's better that we
didn't, and a consciousness of His
leadership is far more satisfying
than the glittering treasures of this
old earth could be.
On January list one of our pa
pers published a railroad edition,
showing something of the develop
ment in our section. I'll try to
secure a copy and send it to you;
this will give you some idea of
what is being done,
Wish you could visit us. Now I
have written you at length, but
haven't said half of what | desired
to. wanted to ask all about your
FIRMLY, and many of the friends
thereabout. Remember us all in
love to your beloved wife. | often
think of her unflinching devotion
to you in all your adverse ex-
periences; truly your union has
been one of love. | havelost sight
of your children-indeed, I never
got in sight of some of them; tell
me all about them. Give my love
do dear old Bro. Spot Jordan and
his family. The last REGISTER
tells about the burial of Mrs. Chas.
Collins; one by n we are pass
ing away, and soon our earthly
pilgrimage will cease, and 0, how
l regret having done so little for
the Master, but will trust His grace.
Do you ever see DR.. Clarkson?
How is he getting along? Is Dr..
Minor still at Lesterville? How |
would like to see him, and how
often | have wished for him dur
ing our baby's illness. Must close
now. l trust you will soon re-
cover and be yourself again. With
very best wishes, | am
Very Sincerely Yours,
R. A. GARRISON.

BETHANY BEACH c. E. CONFERENCE.
Christian EndeavOrers Hold Summer Meeting
August 10Th, l7ih and 18th.

Plans for the Summer Conference of
Christian Endeavorers at Bethany
Beach, Ocean View, Del, August 16,
II and IS are about completed. The
meeting will be held under the au-
spices of the Delaware State Union,
with Rev. Elliot Field, President of
the Union, in charge. The Confer
ence will meet in the new Auditorium,
on the beach. The local endeavorers
have large chorus choir in training,

The principal speakers will be Rev.
G. f. B. Ward, of Colorado; President,
T. E. Cramblet, of Bethany College,
Jr. Va; and possibly Rev. DIR. f. D..
Power, of Washington, D. G.
Prominent workers from this State
also from Pittsburg, Philadelphia,
Denver and Washington will aid in
making the Conference both pleasant
and profitable. The meeting will be a
school of Methods in Christian work
and certainly will amply repay any
one who attends.
Bethany Beach is on the Atlantic
seaboard, few miles south of Reho-
both and is reached from Rehoboth by
steamer, via Rehoboth Bay and Indian
River to Ocean View, thence by hack
to the beach. The place is quiet and
retired admirably adapted to relig.
ious conference, and besides one may
enjoy the finest bathing on the coast
as well as fishing, or grabbing.
The fare from Rehoboth to Bethany
Beach and return, including the hacE
fare, is $1.OO. On Thursday Aug
18th, there will be a special excursion
from Rehoboth to Bethany Beach fol
40 cents the round trip. The return
trip will be made by moonlight.
There are several good hotels a
Bethany Beach at which a rate of 81. OF
per day has been secured. There will
be no systematic registration of dele
gates. All persons are made welcome
but all who expect to attend should
notify Miss Sallie G. Hill, Ocear
View, Del, at once.

Delaware Road Engineer Has Experience.

Engineer Ben Conner, of the Della
ware railroad, is Eot afraid of spooks,
and is not given to becoming excited,
but for a moment last Friday night
his blood was chilled. He saw a
movement of what appeared to be a
body on the cowcatcher of the engine,
and although he felt no Jar he won
dered where the man had been taken
on. On arriving at Dover he hastened
to the cowcatcher and was greatly re-
lieved to find that the man, who was
colored, was full of life and blood and
uninjured. The man was stealing q
ride and was hatless and coatless. Mr..
Conner grasped hold of the negro and
pulled him from the catcher, and be.
fore he could learn anything the man
broke away and withs feet foot man
aged to escape. From a description
he feels assured that the man is one o.
those who escaped from the George
town Jail.

Stamping Out Anthrax Near Milford.

The veterinary surgeons having
charge of the outbreak of anthrax in
Milford and Cedar Necks, report that
there are no new cases in Sussex
county at all, and that the infected
district in Kent county is not spread
ing. A rumor had it that the disease
had spread to Slaughter Neck, but
DIR. Marshall, the veterinarian, who
has that particular district in charge,
is authority for the statement that
there are absolutely no cases IN Sus-
sex, except those in the herd of Frank
Potter in Cedar Neck. There is alb
sOlutely no danger in visiting any of
the bayshore points south of Milford.

Judge Sphinx Declined 10 Probate VIII Of
Johanna M. Burgess.

The testimony in support OF the win OF
Johanna NJ Burgess introduced in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon was
introduced by Attorney c. A Walsh to
show that Mrs. Walsh was sane and that
Mrs. Doyle only took her in to her home
al the request OF the old lady who assert
ed that her near relations were trying to
get her into "A hospital.
The will that Mrs. Burgess made at the
Doyle house gave to the daughter, who
cared for the old lady UP TO the time she
was taken sick but Ave dollars and the
son whom the lady apparently worshipped
up TO the time she visited her niece, $50.
This Mrs Doyle testified was because OF
the unfilial conduct OF the daughter dur
ing the mothers declining years.

that the Prime Minister is guilty os violence IN
applying closure TO the licensing bill after six
days work in committee would be dismissed az
partisan defamation. If his political authority
the representative Of the British electorate
were not in doubt AS il is there is searching Of
heart among his own supporters when Mr.. AS
quith condemns the closure as an arbitrary and
high handed act on the part Of ministry which
has lost the confidence and respect of the coun-
try. When the moral authority OF the ministry
as representative governing body is impaired
political dexterity in bringing IN the guillotine
al an opporlune moment and thwarting the in
trigues OF o5structionists ceases TO be a virtue
When Ministerialists are asked why the gov
eminent has persisted in remaining in office
without appealing 10 the country for n renewal
OF authority. they ordinarily reply that the
Prime Minister, like every good cricketer. has 10
hold his ground and play the game until he is
put out. If analogies are closely followed the
Prime Minister must be considered as free IN
choose between sending his men into the field or
keeping them IN, and it is an open question
whether ne would not be playing better cricket
If he were trying With Mr.. Chamberlain's help 10

has not been playing his own game. nor that of
the party nor that OF the country. by remaining
in Office and carrying out his promises to the
brewers and the public-house interests Some
times il is limited that he has been playing Mr.
Chamberiain's game; and there is evidence that
he has acted upon that astute statesnan's ad-
vice in deferrtng the elections and in making
strenuous efforts 10 keep the party together as
long possible. Before Mr.. Chamberlain went
10 Egypt the Tariff Reform organization re-
ported that the country was not ready for the
fiscal question. and that another autumn cam
paign was necessary; and II is not unlikely that
ministers have remained in Office IN order TO
give the Missioner OF the Empire another oppor-
tunity for converting the country to his views
There are many experts, however, who consider
this poor way OF playing Mr.. Chamberlair's
game. and bad cricket. both for the de1noralized
Unionist party and the impatient country.
