..kaS1 .a ~.

New York, Nov. 8.-The marvellous
record established less than a month
ago by the giant Cunarder Lusitania
when she cut several hours from the
passage time across the Atlantic, was
broken by the same vessel in a trip
completed early this morning. Incl
dentally several new records were
broken. These include the best daily
run, being 61S knots, or an average of
more than 600 knots for every full day
and an average hourly speed Of "a. .25
knots for the full 2,7S1 miles.
On the last voyage the Lusitania
covered the distance in four days,
nineteen hours and flfty-two minutes.
In the voyage ended today the liner
completed the trip in four days, eigh.
teen hours and forty minutes. This
was done under weather conditions
far from favorable.
The Lusitania brought over nearly
S12,000,000 in gold or more than a
quarter of the immense total which
has been engaged abroad by American
bankers, since the present movement
began. This gold was transferred to
the consignees and then added to the
country's available circulation.

EUROPE PROTECTING
ITS GOLD SUPPLY
imperial Bank Of Germany Raises Dis.
count Rate-London Draws on
Paris For Currency.

New York. Nov. 8.--The advance In
the discount rate of the Imperial Bank
Of Germany from 6 1-2 to Z IL per cent
announced today, is further evidence
of the European money centers to pro.
tect their gold supply against deple-
ton by the United States. The rate
is higher than the German Bank has
ever had.
The American gold engagements al.
ready placed in Europe approximate
$40, 100000, so that the increase in the
foreign bank does not operate as seri.
ously as it might have done during the
earlier days of the money stringency.
About $2O,0OO,OoO Of gold has al.
ready reached New York, including
100000 brought today by the
Lusitania. Aside from the gold move
ments, the financial situation shows
an absence of any notable develop
ments and their is a steady tendency
back to the normal conditions.
London Draws on Paris.
London, Nov. S.-The Bank Of Eng.
land today received 100000 pounds in
American eagles from Paris and 150,.
900 pounds in bullion from elsewhere
on the Continent and sold 2O1,O00

ALL public sales chis fall have
been well attended, and the prices
have been near the actual value of
the goods disposed of. The prac-
tice of placing all sales in the col
umns of the Chronicle, has been ap-
preciated by the people, as they
get results which are impossible
from a poster alone. The advertise
ment IS read each week by from
three to four thousand people,
while the poster is seen by only a
few of the people in the neighbor-
hood Of the sale. The advertise
ment is worth several times more
than the poster to the seller of prop
erty at public sale, and the people
know it. Not one sale in twenty
about Milford fails to advertise its
date and stock to dispose of, in the
Chronicle; and, it pays.

whiskey here, declared that be is ruined;

of the pleadings of his child that he would
not vote for liquor to be sold, so he com
promised by not voting at all-all honor

DELAWARE has just passed
through the most trying campaign
Of its history, and the people have
expressed their desires at the polls
in positive way that brooks no
opposition. The results on Tues
day last were surprising in many
ways in fact the whole campaign
has been a series of surprises. Nat
urally each side is making charges
OF trickery and the use OF money,
but if such has been the case, no
evidence has as yet come to the
front in such a way that arrests can
be made. On the whole we believe
that the election was decided upon
its merits, and not by any pecun-
iaTy influence.

HEROES.

! on have read OF heroes,
Ot the danntless and the brave
OF men who risk their lives
Another one to save;
TOO have read OF heroes
Up0n the battle field
who brayely faced the enemy
Died rather than to yield
And rightly they deserved the name
Though 10 their graves they lie,
Ihe record Of their noble deeds
VIII not so quickly die;
Ard he's As brave a hero
Who lights against strong drink,
FOR u winds itself about mankind,
And the weaker ones must sink.
II makes Of man a brute
A degraded lOaLhsOme thing,
And every one whe loves him
Must also feel It's sting.
II does not only harm the one
Who freely OF II takes,
u rObs their wives aud children
Their loving hearts II breaks.
OF course there's some who tell US
It's good thing IN its place,
But Danish license from our State.
And we'll be nObler race;
We long have wished fair Delaware
Free from this bitter blight,
And laud each man hero
Who helped to win the fight.
For strong drink is mans bitter foe
II lures them TO the grave
A nd he who fights against it
should be mum bered with the brave;
Three cheers for every man NhO helped
10 slay their mighty foe,
Who did not cease the battle
Until whiskey had to go.

As the present proprietOrs of the
hotels in Milford believe that they
cannot keep their houses open with
out bar, it will be up to the pub
lie to subscribe to a stock company
to take over the Central Hotel, and
operate it as a frst-class hotel on
the temperance plan. This house
can be purchased at a reasonable
figure, and there should be capital
among those with town pride sufi-
cient to place this enterprise on a
business basis. The travelling pub
lie will visit Milford just the same
in the future, as in the past, and
we firmly believe that an enterprise
of this kind will be successful. Call
a meeting to act on this subject
next week.

Mr.. Editor If you will permit
us to express Ourthoughts on the
election just passed, we will thank
you. We rejoice over the result
and victory we have won. The
Chronicle has been conservative.
and by its course has been a big
factor for no license and, we are
proud of that. There is a great re-
joicing all over the county; we feel
that we have only just begun. NV
sentiments are, that we should stand
fast by the temperance element who
have made this victory possible, and
in the future, see to it that only
good sober men shall be nominated
to fill the public Offices. We want
to also ask a question. Is there

the conditions, and respect the will

THE defeated liquor interests in
Kent and Sussex county are pro-
claiming their intention to fight
further the prohibition law. bv
taking the matter to court on the
grounds Of constitutionality. Well
that is their privilege, but under
the light of the legal ability which
drew the law, and the expressed
opinion of the people at the polls,
there is not the most remote chance
that they can secure a decision
which would reverse the results.
Another main factor against any
probability for the case ever getting
into court, is the fact that VIII
and New Castle has voted |
in favor of wet, and they con-
stitute fully seven-tenths of the IL
iuor interest Of Delaware, and they
10 not care to go over this same
ight with the people again next
