.NO POWER TO OPERATE ALONE

Before Chief Justice Lore and Associ-
ate Judges Boyce and Penrowin argu-
nfent was begun in Superior Count this
amounting ON the demurrer dn the case
of the Wilmington City Railway Conn
pany VS.. the New Castle Railway Com
pany. Waiter II. Hayes. represented
the plaintiff while salisbury Ponder
and Curtis appeared for the defendant
The object OF the argument to-day
Is to have the court set aside certain
wordings in a nnrr filed by Mr.. Hayes
aga!nst the New Castle company.
The suit involves certain moneys
which the Wilmington City Railway
Company alleges to be due it from
the New Castle Railway Company for
use of its tracks from the boundary
line OF the city to Fourth and Market
streets. The sum involved includes
the wages of one of the men who is
engaged at Third street crossing Of the
railroad as a switchman and whose
wages the plaintiff urges that the de-
fendant company should pay. This
Mr. Hayes says is the man contention
of the action.
The original charter Of the Will
mington & New Castle Railway Com
lpany permitted it TO operate in VIII
mington TO a point at Front and Mar
ket streets. This was amended. how
ever later and permission given to op-
crate as at present.
Mr.. Hayes claims that the New Cas-
to come into the city Of Wilmington
by any route of it's own, inasmuch as it
Violated its charter by not completing
it's tracks into the city within a GER
tain period set forth therein.
Arguments were begun before the ad-
iournment Of court in the case OF

Railway Company.

that many Of them have had no expert
ence in such cases and hoped they never
win again. Hfe asked the Bishop to az
wise them as to the best method Of pro-
cedure. Bishop Goodsell replied that he
came to Wilmington in ignorance Of the
exact charge and therefore did not care
to advise the conference. It is matter,
he said, that the conference should at
tend to.
At this juncture Presiding Elder Now
bray said he would second Mr.. Coursey's
motion as TO the method for selecting the
committee.
Mr. Llghtbourne announced that the
prosecution would agree to Mr.. Coursev's
statement if both sides would agree to
Eliminate all challenges. The Bishop
stated 1t was not a question Of either
side agreeing as that was a matter for
the conference to decide.
The Rev. Vaughan s. Collins moved
that the Bishop submit list of thirty
Of the most careful ministers in the con-
ference and both sides to have the priv
Hedge TO challenge until Is are agreed
on This motion was carried.
II was announced that other names
would be submitted i'm case the fifteen
could not be chosen from the thirty.
The Bishop stated DR.. Corlran would be
tried first. ~

The names of the counsel were submit
ted to the conference as follows:

DEFENSE HAS AN APPEAL.
Mr.. Coursey stated IL it was now in
order he would like TO present his ap-
peal Mr.. 1ightbourne said he did not
think it was the time to discuss the mat
ter.
Bishop Goodsell did not think it should
be talked Of until he had seen the papers.
He asked for time to look over the
papers and consider them before deoid-
ing.
Mr.. Coursey said: with all due respect
to the chair the discipline says appeals
shall be made in open conference and
insis; on that"
The Bishop said II was for him to de-
eide what is lawful to present to the con-
ference and he therefore claimed the
right. Counsel for the ministers took an
exception TO the ruling.
LIST, SUBMITTED.
The presiding officer said the four pre-
siding elders went over the whole body OF
the conference with him last night and
they selected thirty names which he
would first submit TO the defense. Mr..
Coursey took the list and With other coun-
sci for the defense and the accused re-
tired to a private room to consider them.
DR.. Watt moved that a committee OF
three be named to examine all reports OF
the committee to sit in the case and de-
eide what should be given to the press.
Mr.. Llghtbourne thought 1t would be a
good idea to select one careful reporter
to attend the trial and for him to sub
init a report to the other reporters, the
report 10 first be approved by the COM
mittee. Bishop Goodsell ruled that the
matter should be left in the hands OF the

PLANT GOOD SEED.

With SO much concerning the
good seed trains appearing in the
papers, the average farmer who
wasn't all ready deeply impressed
with the logic of the argument in
favor OF planting nothing but the
best OF terminating material in his
soil, must now be thoroughly con-
WINGED. We don't remember ever
hearing, on the farm or anywhere
else, anyone advocating that it was
a good thing to plant poor seed; yet
it is surprising, experts say, how
much Indifferent and really poor
seed is put into the ground, under
the impression that it is good.
1t the study of seeds is something
a good deal deeper than it looks
(and we are told that such is the
Cease it would be wise for the Grant
county farmer to read up or talk
up" on the question. With the
fertile soil we have and the great
possibilities it holds forth to it's
lucky owners, it seems too bad that
a single season should be even
partly wasted by sowing Indifferent
seed. Grant county soil has often
produced good crops from indiffer-
ent or poor seed; how great an i'm
provement might be effected with
perfect seed may be left to the i'm
agination.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

The difficulty with most of us is
to learn to live sensibly and sane
ly. We are in danger of going to
extremes. We either take life too
seriously, or we dwaddle about it
like lazy bones. The thing is to
strike an effective middle course.
Most of us nowadays seem to re-
gard it as great mill in which the
earlier we go to work and the later
we stay is better for all concerned.
We want to do great deeds, to &C
cumulate a lot of money. Now, it
is certainly wrong not to be awake
to our privileges and opportunities
for work, and not to get joy out of
doing something that will make the
world happier. But there is time
to loaf and be glad also There is
virtue IN being a happy citizen as
well as glad one. Life is serious.
but not SO serious that we need 90
about with sour countenance and
a book of rules. The wise man
is the one who hits a nice
balance in his affairs, who is neither
wearisomely strenuous nor a flaccid
shirk. 4 T1.5 e<s a..

BABCOCK AGAIN HONORED.

Chairman Babcock of the re-
publican congressional committee
was made the Wisconsin member of
the national committee, and Harry
S. New, of Indianapolis was selected
as acting and vice chairman this
week. Mr.. Babcock, who takes
the position left vacant by the death
OF Postmaster General Henry c..
Payne, will resign the chairman
ship of the congressional committee
that he may be free to act in his
new capacity.
The selection of Mr.. Babcock to
ill the vacancy has not been unex-
pected. 1t was the original inten-
ton of Chairman Cortelyou not to
fill the Wisconsin vacancy until
about the time Of the calling of the
next national convention, but in
view OF his retirement from the
national committee and it becoming
incumbent upon him to name an
acting chairman and to close up all
matters left open during his in
cumbency, he decided to name Mr..
Payne's successor and selected Mr..
Babcock because of the fact that
Mr.. Babcock had the endorsement
OF % members of the Wisconsin
delegation to the national conven-
ton.

FUNERAL CUSTOMS REFORM.

A nearby exchange, in reporting
a funeral, remarked at the good
sense displayed by the mourners in
Obliterating everything of the semi
barbarous old customs, which have
a tendency to work upon the feel
ings of those who already have all
the grief they can bear. si-d.e''5'l.
A custom handed down from
those who had a queer idea of the
eternal fitness of things makes of
the funeral a supreme period of
torture to the mourners, who,
through long vigils and days and
nights of anxiety, are usually in a
state of weakness and nervousness
which by no means should be ag-
gravated.
What good purpose is subserved
by the choice of sermon calculat-
ed to work upon the feelings of the
living9 In the delivery of the
solemn discourse why should the
preacher put on the low tremolo
with vehement persistency?, Why
should the choir chant with mourn
full voices the most solemn music
which can be found? Solemn music
is very trying to people whose
feelings are depressed. What is to
be gained by prolonging this
torture by the hour, by marching
and counter-marcAing through all
the principal streets of town at the
slowest possible pace?
The people of good taste and
Judgment are coming to adopt the
English custom of funerals at the
home of the deceased, with a brief
period preceding for the public to
view the dead. None bnt the rela-
tives, neighbors and other friends
of the family attend the services.
Why should comparative stranger
be permitted to crafty his maudl1n
curiosity to ''see how badly the
mourners take on" or how the
corpse looks?
Why should not the feelings of
the living be soothed with a bright,
cheerful, hopeful sermon? Why
should not the music be chosen
with view to consoling and up
lifting the disconsolate9 What is
the use of lot of parade, consum-
ing hours of timer
Death is the goal at the end of
the race, the reward and coronation
conferred for the fulfillment of our
earthly destiny; 1.-The promotion
of the soul to the higher sphere;
the triumph of the Christians hope
and faith, when the Lord saith,
'Well done, good and faithful
servant; enter thou into the joys of
the Kingdom"
Why, then, should the funeral
rite be made ceremonial of tor
ture and despair to the living, who
should be encouraged to mourn only
as those who have hope?
Our funeral customs need re-
forming.
