which will add much to the spirit of
! Christmas throughout the entire COM
munity.
A number of friends of Miss Mary

STATE AND PENINSULA NEWS,

There seems to be an epidemic of
typhoid fever along the Delaware
Maryland line, extending from Ken
ton, Del, to Goldsboro, Md. There
have been many deaths and in some
instances whole families have been
wiped out by the disease.
Fire broke out in the county Jail a
few minutes of six o'clock Thursda y
evening, but was extinguished by
Sheriff Hartnett's assistants before
much damage was done. The base
ment stairway caught from the heater
chimney pipe and it was discovered by
the volume of smoke coming upstairs.
The agitation among the Methodists
for change in the system of choosing
presiding elders, from appointive to
elective, has found its way into the
official board of Camden M. E. Church.
This body, in electing a delegate to
the next lay conference of the Viii
mington M. E. Conferepce. gave in
structions to advocate the election of
presiding elders.
As further evidence that DIR. Horace
Marvin, father of the lost boy, Horace,
intends TO make Delaware the home oil
Marvins, he made final settlement in
the purchase of another fine Kent
county farm, the ''Peck," between
Camden and Rising Sun, bought foi
$500. DIR. Marvin will move to thu
Comegys farm, near Dover, January
while his sons, Howard and Harvey
will tenant Peck and Woodall farms
respectively.

Nearly all the trains on the Delaware
road at this time have one or more de-
tectives in citizens clothes who keep
sharp watchout for persons drinking
on them. A few nights ago three de-
tectives came all the way from Will
mington, one going down the main
line from Harrington, and reaching
Georgetown; one going to Franklin
City, and one to RehOboth. A. party
of gunners on the train who wanted to
take drink occasionally were obliged
to leave the train when stops we're
made and gulp down a swallow while
passengers were getting on and off. At
Georgetown they had several minutes
to ''wet up"

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together. and
until the last few years was supposed tC be incur
able. For great many years doctors pronounced
1t a local disease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly falling to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable, Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment Halls

Tariff Revision Needed.

The Commissioner of Corporations continues to add to public knowl- edge of Standard Oil methods. He shows discriminations made in prices between United States cities and sections comparatively near to one another, and also that foreign prices of Standard Oil products are much lower than domestic prices. Domestic manipulations are for the purpose of securing and maintaining a monopoly. and these manipulations have included secret railway rates. The monopoly established in nearly all parts of the country, the con sumers have been squeezed" ex- cept in those isolated localities where there has been temporary competi- ton. The commissioner does not, however, give the main reason why domestic prices are higher than foreign prices because that reason is the protective tariff, an institution established and main tained by the political party to which he belongs.

THE oYpsiEs OF HUNGARY.
Government to Put End tc Vagabond
 Tendencies of Tziganes.

The Hungarian government an. bounced some time ago that energetic measures were to be taken to put an end to the vagabond propensities or he Tziganes. says the New York Her lld.
 Hungary is the home of the Tzig- mes. in so far as they have any home. n all other European countries they were persecuted for centuries, but in she fifteenth century the Hungarians took pity on them. There are about l5Q000 Tziganes, and. with few excep- tioSs, they are musicians.
 The typical Tziganes may be best seen near the Croatian frontier in the district of Nagy- -Karped Their camps are always set up at some distance from the town or village and if possi- Ole near forest. Their huts have but one room and are devoid of furniture. Tziganes take their meals and sleep on the bare boards.
 Many unsuccessful attempts have been made to restrain the Tziganes. Emperor Joseph II once allotted land to them and ordered them to cultivate their acres. They turned their houses into stables, set up tents near by for their own use, and to prevent the corn given them from sprouting they boiled it

LOOKING FOR FREE ADVICE.
People of Both Sexes Seek to Evade
 Payment of Doctors Bills.

Every doctor has had unpleasant ex- periences of the economical minded person who takes advantage of cas. ual meeting at the dinner table or elsewhere to importune him for coun- sel as to his ailments It is not al ways easy to get rid of these pests. Abernethy was, as we know, equal to the occasion when wealthy alder man whom he met at friends house recited his catalogue of woes, ending up with the question: What should I take?" The reply was: Take ad- vice" A French doctor recently rid himself in an equally ingenious man. uer of a patient who sought to inn pose on his good nature. He was ac- costed one afternoon on crowded boulevard by lady notorious for this practice. She at once began to tell Of her affiictions, making particular com plaint of pain in her hypogastric re zion. To which the doctor gravely re piled: My dear madam, I must ex- anime you. Be good enough to take off your things!"

The Hueerest Policemen.

"The strangest policemen in the world are in Cape Town. South Af. rica,' said a man who had travelled in the Dark Continent They are the Kaffir negroes. They wear uniform similar to that of an English soldier, but instead of a club and a revolver they carry long spear with red tas- les near the point and a short stick which has heavy brass ball on the cad and is attached to the policeman's belt by a cord some so feet long. They throw the ball and stick and the cord winds around the prisoner like a ranchman's lariat and prevents hiR from walking. They are not allowed to carry firearms, and only make an arrest when ordered by their white of ficers to do so, but R they are ever sent for man he had better so with out question, for he either goes to jail or the hospital if he resists.'

AHtAke ifiuNbtsN
 Sympathy is the cement of society, Your best self will be found only by self-sacrifice.
 The soul needs only deep blowing to turn under it's weeds.
 The only good things we keep are those we pass along.
 There can be no recreation in the indulgence that leads to regret.
 A man often finds himself when he looks misfortune in the face.
 Our own lives are robbed of sweet ness by bitter thoughts of others. You never will develop good in any so long as you see no good in them.
 The most. important part of our environment we carry with us.
 No man is worth much to society until he learns to make the most of himself.
 The safety of little religion lies in the fact that if it Is real it will take root and grow.
 There is something wrong when approach to the Almighty brings only the realization of our miserable weakness.

Tne WAY HE U ED TO DO.

Sometimes when I've been out all night And take my shoes off at the stair, hear my pop turn on the light
 And holler: William, are you there? And then he says: You go to bed : knew that stealthy step was you. " And asked how and then he said: Cause that's the way used to do. " Sometimes when come home at six O'clock and hurry up my chores, And get big armful of sticks
 Of wood and bring it all indoors, My pop he comes and feels my head And says: You've been in swim
 min you l''
 When l asked how he knew, he said: Cause that's the way used to do. " Sometimes before circus comes, When Pm as willing as can be To do my chores, and all my chums They all take turns at helping me, My pop, he pats 'em on the head And says: You like a circus, tool" When asked how he knew, he said: "'Cause that's the way used to do. ,, And lots of times when he gets mad Enough to whip me and declares He never saw another lad
 Like l am-well, at last he spares Me from whipping and he lays
 His rawhide down: Il can't whip you For that, although l should, he says, "fCause that's the way nsed to do. :"

VARIOUS KINDS OF COINAGE.
rwenty-six Different Monetary on'''
 Are In Use.

Twenty-six different monetary units are used by the 4S principal countries If the world. Thus, Great bIl'ain uses the sovereign or pound stering' France and six other countries or bu- rope use a unit equal to the franc' and Canada and the United States use the dollar. In value these diHeren. units range from A to 49433 cents oi money of the United States. Iney are represented in their turn py colns the values of which are either muiu' ples or are fractional parts or the value of their own chief units anu there are no doubt at least 2oO sucp different coins, not one or Wnlca seems to have value equal to that oi any commonly known unit Of weight AS the gram, for example, or the ounce of gold, although 43 or these 4S countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. III the coinage of the world there seems indeed. to be little that is logical or reasonable. Adoption of a single monetary unit or base, If not or an universal system of coinage to De used in all commerce between the Ia. tions. suggests k. w. Perry in Moody Magazine, would be long step Tn that evolution through the centuries, because there has been no concerted, well planned and persistent effort to remove the evils of the existing dis order.
