CENTENNIAL OF DELAWARE MAsoNs

The jurisdiction of Delaware, A. F. &
A. NJ, is preparing to celebrate its CEN
tennial anniversary in October of next
year. At the annual communication of
the body, to be held at Wilmington next
month, some idea of the celebration will
be outlined and the work suggested to a
committee which will bend every effort
toward making the one hundredth ami
versary of Masonry in this State memoir.
able event. AT this time it is planned to
have a parade of the knights Templar
in Wilmington, to be followed by an
elaborate banquet, to which President
Roosevelt will be invited. Each lodge
of the jurisdiction will also observe the
anniversary and have as its guests dis
tinguished members of the fraternity from
other States. Masonry in Delaware dates
from June 9th, 1906, when Grand Lodge
was chartered. Cunning Bedford, who
afterwards became governor of the State
was the first Grand Master. On that
date Hope Lodge, of Laurel, was Insti-
tuted. On the following day Hiram
Lodge was chartered at Newark, and
Washington Lodge in Wilmington, and
out of these three organizations evolved
a jurisdiction comprising thirty lodges
of which number twenty-five are working
to-day. The jurisdiction membership is
1902.

disprove its correctness. Railroad Off
cials and statisticians OF agricultural de-
partments in the varions States of the
grain-producing region give their personal
and official guarantee that the year 10 5
is to be the banner year in the farm pros
perity.
Maryland, noted for her beautiful
daughters, can also boast of having as
many small daughters as any other State
in the Union. For several years some Of
the Western Shore counties have claimed
"the smallest woman in the State" and,
as far as known, their rivalry still con-
tinues, but the champion small woman on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland has been
found in Kent county. Miss Ruby Som
mers, of Rock Hall, is the young woman
who can boast of this distinction, being
only feet inches in height and tipping
the beam at go pounds. Miss Sommers
was born in Somerset county August
18th, 1885, and is therefore 20 years of
age.
As result of undertaking to enforce
the Maryland "Jim Crow" law, the Penn
sylvania Railroad may be compelled to
pay damages. Two suits for $50, 900 each
have been docketed by William H. H.
Hart and Clementine N. Bartlett, both
negroes, of Washington, D. c., in one of
the District of Columbia Courts. In
August, 1904, while they were passen-
gers from Boston to Washington they
were ordered to go into the "Jim Crow
car when the train reached Iron Hill.
They refused, and upon the train reach
ing Elkton, were taken from the train
and lodged in Elkton Jail, where they
remained three days before furnishing
bail. Hart was fined S. and costs, and
the woman was discharged. Hart, who
is a lawyer, carried the case to the Court
Of Appeals on the ground that he was
an interstate passenger. He was upheld
by the Court, which declared the law was
unconstitutional so far as it related to the
Interstate passengers.

THE NEW YORK ELEVATED ACCIDENT

''The accident on the New York
Elevated, a derailment at Ninth
Avenue and F'ifty-third street,
killing and manning, like all &C
cidents on an elevated road, is a
bridge accident.
"The surprise must be that it
did not happen before. The New
York Elevated runs on a con
tinuous bridge thirty seven and
one-half miles long, double track
ed. It carries 300, 100000 pas
sengers year, and IN thirty
years since it was opened has
never lost passenger on a train
by track accident. The catas-
trophe Monday shows that this
has been due to the great care
lavished on an excellent signal
system, rather than to structural
precautions. The curve off which
the cars were thrown, by run
ming at a speed not extravaganza,
could have been Strengthened for
$25, 900, but it was not. An ade-
quate guard rail, such as is now
used in all sound bridge practice,
and a rerailing device would have
prevented one or both cars from
leaving the track. The last car
might have been snapped off
under any precautions. The Sec
ond never should have left the
track, or if it did leave it should
have returned and its couplings
should have held. 1t was light
also for its purpose and its fas-
Jennings were inadequate.
"These are all serious faults.
If they have existed long with
out an accident it is proof that
accidents.on an elevated railroad,
like accidents in, human life, do
not always occur when they

"Itis satisfactory to know that
the working plans of the West
Philadelphia Elevated, recently
published in the Engineering
Neaos, shows a far more substan-
tial structure than that used in
New York. The members are
larger and heavier, the chance OF
derailment is reduced, guard rails
are stronger, and while an acct

such an one is improbable.

THE TIDE STILL RUNNING

The past week mas seen llole
of the Union Republicans leav-
ing the standard of Addicks.
Mr.. Walter HI. Hayes, one OF the
most prominent lawyers OF this
county, who has been for years
working, earnest Republican,
and has acted as Counsel for the
party in many cases before the
Courts, as we'll as acting for Ad-
dicks in his frequent battles,
came out in an interview in the
Philadelphia Press, stating his
reasons for turning his back up
on the leader. They are, briefly,
that Addicks has said to him on
more than one occasion that he
was glad that certain Democrats
had been elected to office, and
that the time had now arrived to
turn the State of Delaware over
to Democracy. This marked the
parting of the ways for Mr.,
Hayes. Many honest followers
of the gas man have never be-
lieved that he really meant his
repeated declarations that if he
could not be elected Senator, that
he would sink the Republican
party, crediting him with putting
up bluff. Now that they are
convinced that he is a wrecker,
they have placed their party
above any man, and are announc-
ing daily their withdrawal from
any such plans and leadership.
1t is true that the papers on
Thursday announced the holding
of a meeting of the Union Re-
publican County and City Com
mittees on Wednesday evening,
at which certain resolutions were
adopted, pledging fealty and sup
port to the cause. But the meet
ing did not represent the senti-
ments of the Union Republicans
of this County. In the first place,
as we are assured by a member
of the County Committee, no
notices were sent out for this
meeting, or if sent they we're
not sent to all the members. In
the second place, the meeting was
SHINY attended, as a matter of
fact, outside of the three or four
employees of Addicks, the traitor
Postles, and q few venal mem
bers from the City of Wilmington,
there was no one of prominence
in the meeting. Resolutions of
this character cannot and will
not stop the tide Of public opin-
ion for one Republican party, as
all who have followed recent
history know. With the elimina-
ton of Addicks as a Senatorial
possibility, the cause for the ex-
istence of the Union Republican
party has ceased to be, and those
who were members of that or
ganization knew it, and are now
ready to join in the formation Of
a new party organization from
which all personal, and selfish
aims are eliminated. This tide is
running and gaining force, and
by the time that another cam
paign is opened and fought, the
opposition will be as futile as was
the opposition Of the Dr.. Chand-
Ter element to one ticket last
year.
