DELAWARE CITY. July 1.-THE
advocates Of a sewer system won out

ton held on Tuesday. Some Of the
minority however, threaten a legal
contest Of the election.

is keeping up their winning streak,
having won two games on the Fourth,
and worsted the Brandywines last Sat
urday and have had but one defeat

Visit of Captain Knowlton
Captain ]. L. Knowlton paid a flying
visit to DUPONT on Sunday to look
after his duties there as constructing
quartermaster and then returned to
Fort Howard, Md. The United States

sumo command Of the post and Of this
artillery district, Colonel Hoskins being
on three months leave
The boys OF the two companies are
now in camp in the lower end Of the
reservation. Practice in firing with
sub -calibre ammunition is being had
this week. Next week targets viii be
shot at in the lower river with full
charge ammunition from the big guns.
Capital in Dupont
Often comments have arisen as to
the use of a capital ID" in connection
with the title of Fort DUPONT, while the
small I'd" is used when the prominent
family Of DUPONT is quoted in print.
The reason is that a military ukase
makes the distinction; for on July 10,
1899. Secretary Of War r. A. Aiger is
sued an order stating that "By direc-
ton of the President the Battery at
Delaware City. Delaware, is named in
honor Of the late Rear Admiral Samuel
F. Dupont United States Navy"
In all subsequent orders from the War
Department. and in all Acts Of Con-
gress. In relation to this post. IL is re-
ferred TO with a capital ID" The first
appropriation for this post was made
by Congress in 1870 and was for the
sum Of $4,000 for z nsv esgt opposite
Fort Delaware. on the DSaeBare shore"

miss GROSSMAN"
HAS DISAPPEARED

The Miss Grossman" who walked
into the police station on Tuesday
night with an infant in her arms,
which she said was found on the porch
Of a West Side house, has disappeared.
She wanted to leave the infant at the
Babies Hospital, in West street, but
the authorities of that institution sent
her to the police station.
Humane Agent Frank Stout to whom
the case was referred, said to-day that
he had not seen the woman since Tues
day night. He was out of the city
yesterday and the girl did not appear
at his Office. She made the remark on
Tuesday night that it was funny that
q child found on a porch could not be
placed in a home and cited an uncle
of hers in Philadelphia who found a
baby on his porch and had it placed in
a home. The girl is believed to be
from Philadelphia.

The Value of
Newspaper
Advertising

Newspaper advertising in these days
is reduced TO a science. Space in news
papers and magazines is bought like
space anywhere else. The great busi-
ness concerns of the country are able
70 estimate the value of a certain num-
Der of inches on a certain page in a
certain magazine or newspaper, all
most as definitely as they figure the
value of a certain number of feet Of
ground on a certain street in a certain
city. Newspaper space has a definite
value. based upon the number Of per-
sons who read that particular news
paper. and TIE class TO which they
belong.
The Journal is peculiarly adapted
10 the use Of the Wilmington merchant
because OF its thorough circulation
from END to end IN Wilmington and
its environs.

 'TYes, I see him there at the back end of the store, but really felt that 1t was my duty to tell you about it. You see--''
 "If I stood around listening to every body who comes into this store to com plain that they've bought something they didn't want or that they've been sighted, as they think, by my clerks, I wouldn't have time for anything else You'll please excuse me. The clerk will hear your complaint, and if there is anything that we can do you may be sure 1t will be done. But we can't take back barrel of apples after they have been out of the store two or three days. You can surely see that if we did business In such a way
 My dear sir, don't want you to take back the apples and haven't any com plaint to make I merely wished to tell you that I found the apples at the bottom of the barrel to be just as big as the ones at the top.

old sycamore tree?" Then the old man said: "Why, daughter don't you know? This is the most sacred place on earth to me. It was under this tree that Jesus spoke to me"
 My friends, this is only a legend, but has not that legend any message for you? Christ is speaking to you now. He would abide at your house and control your life and fill your heart. Come down from your high station, from your pride or from your despair. He condescends to plead with you. Open wide your doors, give him welcome and learn what bless ing comes to the man whose home has Christ for an inmate.

 Sale of a Beautys Soul.
 Tn all probability you have heard the old story about Rowland Hill many years ago preaching upon the outskirts of Lon don. A great multitude was gathered about the popular preacher. While he was preaching there drove to the out skirts of the crowd the carriage Of the noted aristocratic beauty, Lady Ershne. Suddenly Rowland Hill in his blunt way stopped and said: Now, brethren, we are going to have an auction sale. We are going to sell the soul of Lady Frs kline. who is here, to the highest bidder. Who will bid the first for this soul?' T will cries the world. What will you give for this soulY I will give riches and honor and pleasure and fame Is that all?' Yes, that Is all Who is the next Hbidder?' I ain,' says Satan. T will give all the kingdoms of the earth. Will make men bow down to her. VIII give her full license for all her evil desires until she reaches the graSe.' Is that all?' Yes, that is all Who Is the next bidder? cried Rowland Hill. am, says Christ What will you give?' I will give peace and joy on earth. will give her many years of usefulness to man kind Then I will give her eternal Joy and life and peace beyond. l will give her a crown that shall never fade.
 Dramatic was that. Oh, yes. only a Rowland Hill dared preach such gospel to a proud aristocrat. But what Row land Hill said was true Over every rich man as well as over every poor these three forces are struggling Christ wants to save the aristocEt just as much as ne wants to save the poorest peasant. Zac- cheus was a rich man.
 There is a beautiful legend told about Zaccheus which goes thus: Long after his conversion he continued to live In Jericho. He lived there until he became a very old man and till his hair sbecame as white as the driven snow. Then in his old age he took upon himself very curious habit. Every morning he would take a pail and go off alone for walk and stay away two or three hours. He would come back with a smiling counten- ance as though he had been with Christ When his grownup daughter would ask him where he went, ne would answer nothing But one day his daughter fol- lowed him. She saw her old father go to the outskirts of the town to an old sycamore tree. When he got there he took his pail and filled it with water and watered the roots of the tree. Then he plucked up the weeds about this old tree and kissed it and caressed it. Then he knelt down and prayed by it. When the daughter saw him doing this, she said, Father. why are you loving that

day, January 81, 1891.
In the city cemetery the stars are
beaming
Upon lone and silent grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming,
Our loved one we could not save.
Years may pass and others forget
Our dear mother who died
But ever a spirit form will seem
To linger by our side.
Sixteen years, dear Lord, and can

Even yet her precious form we see
No day will ever be as sad
AS the one she passed away.
But she has brighter home, in
heaven of her own
She sleeps within the cold, cold
ground.
The dark blue skies above her,
She was too good and fair for earth
None knew her but to love her.
