John w. Oliver, the veteran editor
of the Yonkers Statesman, who will be
remembered by many in this state as
a resident in this vicinity during the
latter part of the seventies. has just
celebrated his Goth birthday. The oc-
casion was one of hearty fluctuations
and good wishes on the part of the
people at Yonkers, and it was fitting
that it should be. Editor Oliver has
given nearly his whole life to journa-
lism and has contributed largely
through the influence of his paper to
the material good and prosperity of
his city, in sense growing up with
his town and sharing in its progress
and development. With the courage
of his convictions always manifested
in his editorial utterances, his pen
ever labored for the betterment of man
kind. The influence of his noble life
has done much in the work of uplift-
ing Yonkers Editor Oliver though
advanced in years, still possesses all
his faculties and conducts the editor.
ial policy of his paper with the same
interest and enthusiasm as a younger
man. The details of his business and
management has largely devolved upor
his son, Edwin A. Oliver. The veteran
editor has sincere wishes of his Smyrni
friends that he may reach the century
mark and that many more years o
usefulness may be given him. New
York journalism and the journalism o
the country is better off for haginl
such men as John W. Oliver.

Public Spirit and the Shirt Factory Fund.

1t was expected that after reading
the strong articles published in both
of our home papers that our merchants,
property owners and all interested in
the development of our town would
hasten to identify themselves with the
movement to establish new industry
in our midst for the employment of
what labor we have and to induce 9TH
ers to move here. 1t is not at all
pleasing to have to advertise to out
siders the fact that not single person
was public spirited enough to come
forward and volunteer to be identified
with this progressive work, but such
is the lamentable fact. The time and
work of those who are devoting their
energies toward accomplishing this
object is apparently not appreciated,
and it is hardly right that these peo-
pie should have to be subjected to not
only the Indifference but in some cases
actual discourtesy. These men are
doing what no others will do and do
ing it for the benefit of others. That
anyone should hold off in participating
in raising the paltry sum of $500 for
town development is surprising. The
trouble in accomplishing the end in
this case will probably result in the
ending of any more progressive work
in this direction by the present ac-
tive workers. This is a natural con-
sequence Of the treatment they have
received. Whether or no, others will
take the places of these men is doubt
full. In any event this work should
be cheerfully undertaken by the whole
community.
Individual gain and personal inter-
est should not be the one absorbin g
object of life, but If you are so fortu-
nate as to be Independent and able to
provide for all your needs you should
be only too willing to look around you
and see if you cannot help someone
else. Everyone feels happier after do.
ing a noble act, and the helping to Sc.
cure work for others is noble action.
The amount to be raised is small, the
amounts SO far subscribed are not
large-$15 being the greatest amount
and So the lowest. Just think it out
new industry that has taken a lease
for five years on a building and il
which 25 to 60 hands can be employed
and you are asked to be generous Il
the extent of So, $40 or $15. Discard
the idea of what return the lnvestmen
of either of these large amounts will
, bring you, but give it freely with
good heart with the idea that you are
doing only very little to benefit som
of your fellow creatures who have no
been quite so fortunate in life as 70,
. have been. PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN.

The rousing convention at Dover
last Thursday which resulted in the
formation of Citizens League with
view of bringing about a great reform
in this state not only with relation to
the temperance question but bribery
and other evils, was an important step
in the history of this state and already
gives evidence of proving a mighty fac
tor in the next political campaign.
Very wisely the League did not decide
to put an independent ticket in the
field but will direct its efforts to the
having the two leading parties put
good, capable and honest citizens on
the ticket and especially men who will
vote to submit the question of license
or no license to the suffrages of the
people. This League will embrace
the Delaware Temperance Alliance an9
all other organizations interested in a
great reform movement and Judging
from the interest and enthusiasm of
Thursdays convention the League
starts out with determination to be
heard and respected. Their declara-
tion of principles which are published
in the Convention proceedings on our
second page leaves no stone unturDed
as to their future course in relation to
the existing parties and unless they
are recognized there can be but one
outcome and that is the nomination OF
a strong and aggressive independent
ticket. In naming the Rev. Robert
Watt, D. d. as the first president of
the Citizens League, the reform move
ment has at Its head one of the most
and aggressive citizens oi
the state, one who has the sub.
iect near and dear to heart. He
will be assisted by some of Delaware
best known and most prominent citi
zens. Since the recent ntLegislature re-
fused to pass local option bill for the
four districts of the state, the reform
movement has received fresh Impe
tus and much work will be done be
tween now and the close of another
campaign to bring the church vote Il
bear upon the question. The move
ment is practically in its infancy but
is living, growing force that must b.
heard and respected.

KENT COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT ADJOURNS

Many Interesting Civil Cases Were Decided at
the Session Of Court Just Ended at Dover.
The Superior Court adjourned sine
die Friday after disposing of number
of interesting civil cases, which at
tracted many members of the Kent
bar. In the case of Presley Colds
borough vs.. the State of Delaware,
being an appeal from lower court as
to right of way through farm of
William George to a piece of marsh
land owned by Goldsborough, the
Superior court last week instructed the
jury to find Goldsborough guilty of
trespass, which was done, and he was
fined SO and costs. One of the most
important arguments came to an end
and decision was handed down by
the court just before adjournment. 1t
was case where the South Bend Iron
Works of South Bend, Ind, came upon
the creditors of George d. Ruous of
Clayton, through suit against Frank
Reedy, sheriff. The plough company
sought to obtain the value of S77O
worth of plough shares, ploughs, cast
ings and equipments seized and sold
by the sheriff as the property of Ruous.
Levin Irving Handy of Wilmington,
representing the Ruous creditors, OBJ
tanned verdict or decision for $699 in
favor of the creditors. James H.
Hughes represented the South Bend
Company and the argument between
the two attorneys occupied nearly two
days and was one of the most interest
ing in recent years.

F F|NDS NEGRO
CEMETERY ON
HIS PROPERTY
Professor Stratton Is
the Owner Of 400
Graves.

NEW ROCHELLE. n. Y, Aug. 20
Professor T.. A. Stratton, who recently
paid $65, 900 for farm on Wilmot road In
upper New Rochelle, has made the dis
covery that he acquired with the prop
erty a negro cemetery with 400 graves
in it. The cemetery is in the center
of the farm and WAS established seventy
years ago by an old Huguenot, John Sou-
lice, who used it as the burying ground
for his slaves. In recent years the negro
residents of New Rochelle, East Chester
and Mamaroneck have buried their dead
there The last funeral took place
week ago.
The negroes of New Rochelle are much
excited, because they have heard that
Stratton intends to build large country
mansion on the place, which will mean
that the cemetery will be destroyed and
the gravestones razed. The negroes have
no control over the graveyard. because
the man who decided the property for
use as a cemetery named a board of
trustees. but failed to provide for any
one to succeed the members of the board.
The last member of the original board
of trustees died twenty years ago.
Stratton IS in Maine on his vacation
and a number of men are engaged in
clearing the land for building purposes.
He was dunfounded when he discovered
that he owned negro cemetery. but just
what instructions he left concerning it
cannot be ascertained.

SAILS A|RSHIP
FOR TWO MILES
AGAINST WIND
Roy Knabenshue Gives
New York a Brand
New Thrill.
Special Dispatch to The Call

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-New York had
brand-new thrill to-day when half
million persons saw Roy Knabenshue sail
his airship for two miles against six
mile wind and back to the top of a tree In
Central Park. Until a spark plug was
torn out by catching in the aeronauts s
trousers as he moved forward and back
on the framework of the ship in direct
ing its flight, he had it under perfect con-
troll.
Ascending from vacant lot at Sixty
second street and Central Park West,
Knabenshue rose at an angle of forty-five
degrees only to find himself helpless to
operate his dividing appartus. His bal
loon settled down in Central Park, where
his reception by policeman was one of
the interesting sidelights of the ascen-
sion.
Get out of here with your machine
and do If mighty quick, or you'll come
along with me- he was told.
Ii was a matter of only minutes to re-
place the driving chain, and the ship rose
gracefully above the trees and sailed
away amid the cheers of the crowd that
had gathered
AT sharp angle 1t shot up until it had
reached an altitude of about 1000 feet.
when the aeronauf brought it to an even
keel and headed a trife west from south.
By this time the streets were filled with
thousands gazing exeitedly at the first
airship that mas flown over New York,
and other thousands crowded on house
tops, all straining their eyes at the ship
and at the specter in control of it, They
saw Knabenshue shift widely about on
the wind and, as easily as a yacht, swing
OF to be swept before the breeze In a
course as straight and true as an arrows
flight he drove the ship due north and on
2 descending plane until he was only
couple of hundred fc~. above the heads
of the crowds in the streets. The chug-
chug of the engine was distinctly audible.
Until point above F1fty-ninth street
was reached everything went well. The
fight seemed to be a success in every re
spect, but at the moment when the aero
naut was ready TO direct his course to
the lot from which the start had been
made the spark plug caught in his trou-
sers as he was sliding toward the bow of
the ship to head it downward by his
weight. Here he descended and was
cheered wildly by a vast crowd.

TURIN, Aug. 20.-A dastardIy at
tempt mas just been made upon the life
of Dowager Queen Margherfta, mother
of King Victor Emmanuel, who is max.
ing tour of the Alps In an automo-
bile. This news Is contained In a teIe-
gram received to-day from Aosta at
the royal palace of Racconigf, near
here.
Queen Margharita was ascending the
Little st. Bernard in her automobile,
accompanied by the Marquise di Villa
marina, another lady of the court, and
two gentlemen, when the machine sud-
denly struck stone barricade, which
had been erected in the middle of the
road, and was overturned Fortunately
no one was injured, but the five occu-
pants were greatly alarmed. The bar
ricade had been placed at a dangerous
turn, where it was impossible to see
the road more than few feet in ad-
vance.
Police in an automobile were follow
ing the royal party and at once made
an investigation, resulting in the dis
covery that the barricade had without
doubt been placed there to bring about
a fatal aeciaent to the Queen. Two
suspects have been arrested.
