ANXIOUS TO die

CARSON, Oct. 21.-Sam Morrison,
a well known young man OF Virginia
City, attempted suicide there last
night, and but for the timely arrival
of DR.. Sullivan he would have sue

hour he placed bottle of chlorform
to his mouth and swallowed table
spoonful before those around him
could get the bottle out of his hand.
A few moments later he fell uncon-
scious to the floor, and DR.. Sullivan,
who was hastily summoned, admin

other remedies. After couple OF

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery OF the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of tails
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind Of work is done, and
it pays to, patroaize home industry.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE. Sept 25.-Shortly
before s o'clock last evening during a
severe storm, lightning struck the barn
belonging to Robert r. Morrison at
Fourth and Harmony streets. The build
ing and contents Were destroyed en-
failing a loss of about $1,000, partly
covered by insurance in the New Castle
County Mutual Insurance Company and
the Farmers Mutual Insurance Com e
pany Three pumps valued at $1,000
were saved. Much of the contents con-
sisted Of rope and tackle. wheelbar-
rows and tools. while considerable hay
and corn also went up in the blaze.
The fire was discovered on the roof
and in a few minutes had spread. The
fremen played two streams and kept
the flames from going to adjoining
residences. Owing to the terrific force
now in the mains since the city put in
the stand pipe system the fire engine
was not called out.
The residence of Postmaster King
was slightly damaged, an outbuilding
belonging to him was destroyed and
the residence of William Brown, color
d.
feared that the fire would reach the
frame dwellings and that a square OF
residences would be wiped out, but the
firemen were equal to the occasion and
Chief Madden had his men at all times
under control A bucket brigade kept
the roofs OF nearby buildings wet and
in this way the flying embers did no
damage.

AMERICAN woMANHoop.

Our attention is called to an indirect
but clearly implied fling at American
womanhood contained in the article
under discussion. We possess unques-
toned admiration for the high type
Of motherhood found among the Jews
and maintain that except where the
saloon and its train of sins have poi
soned the pure fountain of motherhood
there is an equally high type to be
found among our American women
A vote against the saloon is a GER
tain vote for the home, for home pur-
ity, for motherhood; for the protec-
tion of children; for God.
We do not expect to leg
islate swine into respectability-
Nayi nay:-But we do intend to pro-
hibit those worse than swine coming
from the saloons from wallowing in our
streets. We do expect TO end the sight
of drunken, staggering. wallowing
british men, the product OF the saloon
in the highways of our city and when
that is done TO make them more thar
respectable through the saving blood Of
Jesus Christ.f

EDUCATION TO
IMPROVE FARM
So Says President Harrison
Of the Maryland HOrtiCuI-
tuTaI Society

Orlando Harrison. OF Berlin. Nd,
president Of the Maryland State Horti-
cultural Society. made an interesting
address at the society's convention at
the jamestown Exposition yesterday.
In part he said:
Many oppose spending any money
for showing the products Of their state
at an exposition and especially for fruit.
want TO ask one question: What has
been spent more economically at this
Exposition than the horticultural ex-
hibits here? The produts shown here
are worth your trip. Land that once
sold for one dollar per acre is now I'm
valuable orchards, one crop of apples
at seven years paying for the entire
cost OF land and expense Of planting
two hundred Elberta peach trees net
ting more than three thousand dollars
TO one Of our Delaware growers this
season.
These are only a few hints of what
Is being done in horticulture and the
demand for good fruit IS in excess OF
the supply. With labor endued with
good wages; with farm producing well
and farm products commanding good
prices, with factories busy and selling
/ all they manufacture there is no rea-
son for alarm with the fruit grower
who puts his time and talent in his
work.
III we hope TO cultivate our farm
and make them Of value, we must edu-
cate our labor by educating our boys
10 learn the advantages TO be gained by
sticking to the farm. What Is a boy
worth 10 the farm? Just what you
make him. ] believe in a boy learning
to support himself early in life ] do
not believe, as Mr.. Brooks. that we
should spend $4,000 to raise and edu-
cate a boy, but assist him, encourage
him and see that he learns TO work
and there is no better place than a fruit
farm 10 start him right"

individual voters are responsible
If any man in Delaware fails to vote
against these accursed evils at the COM

not, we firmly believe, deserve to have
a home and should not complain II
his son becomes a drunkard. or his
daughter becomes a drunkard's wife
or worse.

mercy upon the men. the so-called poll

is THE MANUFACTURE SALE AND
USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVER-
ACES IMMORAL?

We have read the recent effusion Of
the saloon apologists, appearing under
the above caption, and by its strenu-
Gus appeal to The Word of God in
eXtenuation of the sins of the saloon
are reminded Of the couplet, reading
When the Devil was sick
The Devil a Saint would be-"
Are we TO believe that the Saloon
Devil is sick, since he so much desires
to take on sainthood? Yea, verily-we
believe sick and scared both. since he
determines TO seek such holy clothing
for his crimes.
But will the saloonists please speak
to the subject, just once. Who is advo-
eating the destruction of vineyards or
the prohibition of individual wine
drinking? Certainly not the temper
ance forces of Wilmington. Why quote
scripture on questions not involved in
this contest? There is but one issue
one question for decision. It is wheth-
er the legalized saloon, a corrupt and
criminal institution, the enemy of busi-
ness and morals shall live or die; not
whether John Smith shall set out"
additional grape vines, or Mary Smith,
his wife, take a little wine for her
stomach's sake" according to Pauline
advice.
Let us listen TO scripture bearing on
the issue, il scripture we must have.
1T is WRITTEN.
Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbor drink, that put
test thy bottle to him, and
makest him drunken also."-
Hab. ?: Is.
And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled
with the Spirit"-Eph. 5 is.
Wine is a mocker, strong
drink is raging; and whosoever
is deceived thereby is not
wise."-Prov. 20: 1.
Read also Proverbs xiii: 1882
friend saloonist, and hereafter, if you
must give us Scripture. give US the
while truth therein contained about
this miserable business in which you
are engaged
Will our readers pardon an observa-
ton or two. ,n.
O). No one has heretofore. we be-
lieve, dared to accuse Jesus of oper-
ating a brewery at Cana of Galilee.
! (2). No imagination is quite so vivid
as to make the Apostle Paul an apollo
gist for the dram shop.
CD. George Washington and Mat
thew Vassar-all honor TO them-are
not to be dragged to the infamous
level of life now so plainly occupied
by those who traffic in strong drink
at least not by men Of sense and rea-
son.
"a. Let us not rake up" the false
readings of past history on this ques-
tion. Let us study the saloon of today,
1907, not Of 1907. Everyone knows they
are as different as heaven and hell*
