the dreary wintry wastes Of northwest
Canada. An order for 100 of them has
been received from winnipeg, Mani

Wilmington. where the stamps origi-
mated.
The supply Of stamps at Dover is ex-
hausted and another order for a large
supply has been received from there
by the Red Cross people in this city.
There has been heavy demand for
the stamps in Dover and from people
in the neighborhoOd Of the capital, and
the revenue from that town win swell
the fund for the benefit of consump-
tlves in this State appreciably.
The stamps were not sold here yes
terday on account of the holiday The
sale was resumed to-day with the New
Years stamps, which viii be carried
until next Wednesday, when the sale

The New Year stamps now held by
the Delaware branch of the Red Cross
number 100000. and orders will have
to be received early from those desir-
ing them. as II is expected that the
supply will soon be exhausted, owing

termed the Milton Electric Light Com

run in the alleys and upset, while mys-
terious 'tick-tacks" sounded their
warnings on the window panes.

70 the morocco interests has this to say about
glazed kid:
cone noticeable feature of the trade situation
;s the fact that there is largely increased de-
nand for kid of all kinds, and especially so Tor
Glazed kid. which is rapidly again coming to that
oosition in popular favor to which 1t IS entitled

versant with the subject knows that glazed kld
as present produced. is by far the best STOCK
for footwear human ingenuity has yet devised
What is more it is exceedingly doubtful whether

INNER leather Shoe manufacturers, jobbers ana
retailers All recognize and many OF them ireey
admit this to be the case, but the pubic ior
time lost sight of it and by reason OF the liberal
advertising of other feathers wandered OF alter
other finishes and kinds OF stock which met the
popular fancy for the time being, but which, one
after the other are now being reegated TO the
rear and their places filed by glazed KID which,
in the higher grades, makes as attractive shoe
as anyone could desire man or woman, and IN
the lower grades produces shoe which has only
one fault and that is, that it wears too long for
kid manufacturers and members OF the other
branches of the trade.
"The statesmen on the road are reporting large
" increased orders, indeed, owing TO the gen
eral curtainent in production for several months
past it is beginning TO look if actual short

of the large shoe manufacturers being thorough

up good-sized lets of glazed kid, recognizing that
Il is a splendid buy at the prevailing prices, and
that prices VII be higher as the season pro-
crosses.
zone striking feature in regard to glazed kid
is that the export demand continues very strong.
It will be good while before foreign tanners
will be able to produce an article which will COM
pare favorably with American glazed kid. Those
who know the Ntrying experimental period
through which the industry passed before the
present perfect stock could be produced do not
fear foreign competition
"Shoe manufacturers are making successful ef-
forts to sell kid Shoes because they recognize
that they will experience less trouble after the
goods are sold and they give more general salts

The several local morocco factories now busy
are turning out their share of glazed kid, and it

TURKEY
LED TO TROUBLE

BROADKILN, Dec. 26-Because
Silas Warrington and Albert MCGEE
tried to get ther credit of presenting
the Methodist minister with a Christ
mas turkey. a number Of their friends
who were looking for revenge, jumped
them as they were leaving the par
sonage and gave them a severe beat
ing. Both were badly used and are
bearing black eyes and bruised faces
today.
The two young men conceived the
idea OF giving the minister Christmas
turkey and going among their friends,
collected enough money to buy a twen-
ty-pounder. After they had purchased
the turkey they appointed themselves a
committee of presentation and handed
it TO the minister. The other contri-
butors learned Of the trick and waited
outside the parsonage.

BURGLARS ROB
PASTORS HOME
About $500 Worth Of JeweIry
Taken From Rev. II. A. G.
WeSterfieId'S Parsonage

The home Of the Rev. H. A. c. West
erheld, pastor Of Asbury NJ. Z. Church.
No. 222 Walnut street, was entered
by thieves Tuesday night and articles
to the value Of more than $500 were
taken. Miss Leila Gerry. Of Port De-
posit, a sister Of Mrs. westerfeld, who
was visiting the family. was the heav-
lest loser.
1t was while the Rev. Mr. wester-
field was IN Asbury Church conducting
services and Mrs. Westerfield and Miss
Gerry were shopping that the parson-
age was broken into. Those in the
house were Mrs. Hartman. who makes
her home with the Westerhelds, and
the children. The latter had gone to
bed and Mrs. Hartman was reading
upstairs.
Entrance was gained through a win
dow in the back OF the house opening
upon the graveyard in the rear The
window was already open and the
.housebrealxers had only to make their
way to the second story, where they
got to work so deftly that no one
heard thhem.
Mr.. Westerfield's study was first
visited, and 1t was thoroughly ran
sacked. Nothing OF value was obtained
from there. however, and Miss Gerrys
room was then entered. Miss Gerry
was ready to return to Port Deposit
Christmas, and had gathered her be-
longings in a handbag. This fell a
prey to the burglars. but they were
probably frightened off before they
could make further search. The bag
contained a gold watch, a gold breast
pin, three gold rings and other pieces
of jewelry, altogether valued at about
$500. Other less valuable articles.
Christmas gifts exchanged by the fam
lily, were taken.
The robbery had all the earmarlks of
the work Of professional burglars. A
sentinel was placed outside the gate
lalong Walnut street, and, curiously
enough, this man was seen by Mrs.
lWesterfeld and her sister when they
returned shortly after o'clock, and he
engaged them in conversation while he
ratified the gate as a signal to his con-
federates in the house.
The robbery was not discovered until
Pastor Westerfield went upstairs to get
some decorations for a Christmas tree.
The police were at once notified and
the pawn shops have been instructed
to be on the lookout for the stolen
articles. The only clue the police have
to work on besides a description Of the
stolen goods is the description of the
man who talked to Mrs. Westerield
and her sister.
Clergymen Of late have been the spe-
cial prey Of housebreakers, as the Rev.
S. N Pilchard, Of Union M. e. Church,
discovered that his home, at Fifth and
Washington streets. had oeen robbed
last Sunday.

coNFERRING OF BLESSINGS.

'HANCELLOR DAY, Of the Syracuse Uni
versity, not only poses as the special cham
pion OF the rich, but the noted educator seems to
have special grudge against the unfortunates
who are lacking in this worlds goods. Address
ing a meeting of ministers, he "deblored the lack
OF appreciation on the part Of the laboring classes
OF the means of earning livelihood made pos
sible through the lavish expenditure OF the
money OF the rich. "The bulk Of the blessings
he said came from the men of money" OF
course the bulk of what the chancellor considers
the blessings come from the rich. MANY of
the latter are generous; others are not Financial
blessings cannot proceed from those who have
money any more than blood can be extracted
IRON turnip. How are people who have no
money going to confer financial blessings?
The chancellor however should remember
that unless the laboring classes, so called, pro-
duce wealth it would be impossible for a rich
class to exist and therefore that class could con-
Ter no financial blessings upon anyone The
chancellor should hark back to any political econ
omy, perhaps the one that is taught in his own
university, and he would find that labor is the
active factor in the production of wealth. and
capital the passive one. Riches of themselves
are dead, inert. Only when they are brought into
life by the magic touch Of labor does wealth
capital-reproiuce itself and aid in the beneitne
OF humanity. While capital furnishes work for
men, labor creates that capital The harmony be-
tween the two would be better if these relations
were understood-if there were no Chancellor
Days taking the extreme capitalistic view. and
no anarchial agitators stirring strife and envy
among the extreme so-called lower classes.
