REV. ". |. FREUND
HAS RESIGNED
Gives Up His Charge at
Hanover Church on Ac-
count of Ill Health
RESIGNATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It was with deep regret not unmixed
with surprise that the congregation OF
Hanover Presbyterian Church heard the
resignation OF their pastor, Rev. w. L.
Freund read from the pulpit at the
services yesterday morning, by the Rev.
J.. b. Randall, of Lincoln University,
supply minister.
Although Mr.. Freund has been ailing
for some time, having been IN New
York under treatment since December
last. there was but few who knew of
his intention to give up his charge here,
and even those when faced with the
actual fact were gleatly touched.
The resignation was embodied IN a
letter to the congregation which touch
ed the hearts of those who heard it,
expressing as IL did his reluctance at
leaving the church and people to which
and to whom he is so greatly attached.
HAS BEEN HERE -FOUR YEARS.
The Rev. Freund has been pastor of
Hanover Church for the past four years
and during that time has endeared him
self to all who came in contact with
him. Graduating from Princeton Uni
verslty in 1896, at the head of his class,
he assumed charge Of the Brooklyn
ana MOnLlOstt Id.s tuAIhte ana re-
mained there one year, preaching at one
place in the morning and the other in
the evening.
Even at that time his health was not
the best and hesigning after a years
lpastorate he went abroad remaining
| until within a short time before he re-
ceived his call to Hanover.
He now contemplates sailing for the
continent again where he hopes to re-
gain health and strength.
For Wednesday evening next a meet
ling of the congregation of the church
has been called at 8 o'clock, at which
ltime Mr. Freunds resignation will d,
acted upon formally, and it Is hoped
that a large and representative gather
ling will be present. In selecting a sue
lcessor several ministers will be asket
to preach at the church and the congre
cation will decide upon the one whom
they desire as their pastor. A specia
Injecting OF the Presbytery will then b
lcalled and upon recommendation of tn
congregation the minister selected vii
be appointed If available.

FORECASTS
OF JUNE THIRD
The People Tired of Demo

| GREAT DEAL OF QUIET
WORK is BEING DONE

The Democratic party after having
had continuous control Of the City
Council since July 1, 1895. and during
that period three mayors of the city
Mayor Jeneris, July. 1895, to July,
1897; Mayor Fahey. July. 1899, to July,

July. 19O5.-have suddenly seen
light"
During all Of the past years the
Democratic Council and leaders have
failed to advance any important pro-
jects of advantage to the taxpayers OF
wilmington. In fact the only measure
of importance to be placed to theiI
credit is the increase in the tax rate
which took place one year after they
obtained control.
Realizing that the sentiment of tbs
taxpayers is in favor of a change Of
administration and that they could no
point to a past record which would
win out at the election on SATURDAY
next, they decided on a platform o
promises which is given to the public
jus tone week before the election.
Unfortunately the platform calls 70
many things which the Democrats hav
heretofore refused to give the people
A Democratic Council turned dow

principles of their rectnly discovere
platform.
Then the voters say that the crema
tory is an object lesson Of what mu
lnicipal control would mean if the Dem
locrats were continued in power.
The result of this platform has bee
to put more ginger in the fight and tn
