''The Delawareen" an industrial
publication of twenty or more pages,
issued by the Delawarean Publishing
Company of Dover, is an interesting
work so far as it goes. In brief way
it shows the great opportunities of
Delaware farming and is very credita-
BILE, but there are some we'll known in
dustries that are not even mentioned,
but this may be accounted for by the
reason that it was more of an advertis-
Ing scheme than general write up of
Delaware's industrial and agricultural
wealth. The Delawarean takes some
space with history of its plant, one
item of which we must take excep-
tion to. The article states that The
Delawarean is the oldest paper IN the
state, that the first number was issued
May Z, 1859. This is misleading for
the Smyrna Times in July 1904, cell
ebrated It's semi-centenniaI by issuing
a special edition of 20 pages. The frs t
number of the Times was issued July
s, 1854. Thus it will be seen that 1t is
nearly five years older than the Della
warean. We call attention to this fact
that the public may not be mislead

CHURCH LIFE INSURANCE
One of the Projects Favored by the
 Presbyterian General Assembly.

Winona Lake, Ind. May The general assembly of the Presbyterian church today heard, discussed and ap- proved recommendations incorporated in the reports of committees on foreign missions and Sunday school work; ap- pointed a committee to investigate and report on the feasibility of the plan of Justice Harlan, of the United States supreme court for the erection of Central Presbyterian cathedral at the national capital, and endorsed the pro- ject which proposes the collection of a permanent fund of $10,OO0, 900, the in come from which is to be expended in annuities for aged ministers of the Presbyterian church and their families. The committee on sustenance was com manded to undertake the work of es- tablishing this fund.
 The committee now has permanent fund of nearly S1,650, 900 with which to begin operations. The remainder is to be raised among congregational con tributions, gifts and an insurance scheme by which a minister may, by paying about SPA a year for thirty years, draw an annuity of $500. Before thirty years have elapsed it is estimat- ed that the permanent fund will be S10O0.
 There are S2O ministers entitled to share in this annuity plan.

 The appearance of Japanese so far from their base is taken as aa iAti- nation of their desire for information preliminary to the turning flank.
 Reports of a movement of Japanese in the direction of Tsiislhar, 300 miles west of Harbin, have been revived. Chinese bandits are active on the Mongolian border.

BROKEN BOSTON BANK
There Is no Assurance That Anything
 Will Be Saved.

Boston, Mass, May 25.-Seventy-one banks and trust companies. most of them in Massachusetts, but several in various parts Of the country are among the creditors of the banking firm os Burlett, Cummings and company, of No. 43 Milk street, this city, which to- day filed a voluntary petition in bank ruptcy in the United States district court with liabilities placed at $1,- 714,36S. The assets are stated to be ut certain. Creditors are given to under stand that they will not exceed. $2OO, OOO if indeed, they prove to be one of any value whatsoever. The bankruptcy petition IS the heaviest ever filed in this district.
 Attorney J. T. Aubach. counsel for the bankrupt firm, said that the cause of failure was the building and financ- ing of the Massachusetts street rail- ways.
 The roads were in thickly settled dis triets and were unable to make suita- ble connections with the roads running to Boston, and were placed fD the hands of receivers and their notes be- came valueless.
 The secured creditors number elgh- ty-seven and the unsecured eighty There are thirty-two Massachusetts savings banks in the list of creditors. and thirteen Massachusetts national banks. One of the heaviest creditors is the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank with a claim of $S0,000. Among western institutions affected are four Chicago banks and one Ann Arber All of the latter loans were small In connection with the bank ruptcy petition the state savings bank commissioners said today that so far as their investigation had gone the savings banks which had loaned money upon the Massachusetts securities bonds had not violated any laws
