CONFERENCE TO MEET.

MAJ ILMINGTON Methodist Conference will
w meet at Smyrna next week AS usual it
will be largely attended session as, numerically
speaking, the Methodist Episcopal Church is the
strongest Of any of the religious denominations on
the Peninsula, the cradle OF Methodism in this
country. The Conference promises to be with
out sensational or unpleasant incident There IS
no serious disturbance in the church, and the fac
tional spirit which in times past has occupied no
unimportant part in conference, has happily dis
appeared. The reports OF the presiding elders
will doubtless show the Church to be in -four
ishing condition The prosperity or the hard
tines in the country are felt by none quicker
than by the church workers.
Conference week is always an important one in
the town where it assemblies. The conference
Will be heartily welcomed in Smyrna, and the
ministers will meet in Asbury Church, which
lately has been handsomely rehtted in the interior,
and which presents a most pleasing appearance.
To many OF the ministers the week is in the
ture Of an outing There is, Of course, some
anxiety as to the charges to which the cergymen
will be sent, but in these days the changes are
not so numerous as formerly, and nearly all the
ministers have good idea of where they will go.
Since last Conference one OF the churches, Grace,
of this city has made an innovation in Peninsula
Methodsm by installing vested choir. The GUS
tom is new here, but vested choirs are not un-
common in other Methodist churches.
The new pastor of Grace Church, DIR. Kellogg,
will also meet with Conference for the first time.
The pastor of the largest church in Conference is
always an important figure in the meetings Of the
Methodists. DIR. Kellogg will be warmly received
and will make the same favorable impression upon
Conference as he has done in the city. AT the
Conference he will get still further insight into
life in Delaware, and we trust will have no reason
to regret that he has cast his lot among Delaware
and her people

PERKINS PAYS 1T BACK.

q GORGE w. PERKINS, the high official Of
" the New York Life Insurance Company,
who narrowly escaped serious difficulty that
might have landed him in prison, has just repaid
$4,000 to the company, making good the contri-
button he subscribed to the Republican campaign
fund The Court of Errors in New York recon-
mended that course when they reversed the de-
cision by which Mr.. Perkins was held for trial by
a lower court.
The investigation Of the life insurance com
panies has been productive of good. While it IS
true that the administration tickets for control Of
the companies have won, the managers of these
great concerns have been taught lesson that
they will not soon forget. Policy holders arc
more alive to their interests and the manage
ments Of the companies themselves have adopted
reforms that will prove OF much benefit The
insurance laws in many States have been
strengthened and made more far-reaching. The
turning on of the light has been not in vain.

Editor The Evening Journal.
According to the report OF the Board
OF Health there were many more cases
of typhoid fever in the city last year.
There must be cause for the prevalence
Of this disease. and / do not think It
is due to the water which comes from
the various reservoirs. / have been
Informed by physicians that the water
now being consumed Is the purest that
comes from the reservoirs during the
entire year. There are no heavy rains
to cloud the water. and bacteria cannot
exist If the water is very cold The
rains Of spring and summer pOlute the
supply and I'm some cases typhoid Is
the result. A physician who is re-
cognized as an authority on typhoid
fever told me that many cases of ty-
phoid fever are caused by improper
care Of the body during the winter
months. Many persons go about not
properly clothed and chills are the re-
suit, which finally terminate in a SER
ious case OF fever. Many persons ne
glect to clothe themselves and permit
their bodies 10 suffer. Then they want
to know how they became sick. There
are many people walking the streets
today who are suffering from a mid at

OF few days compels the patient to

Special to The evening Journal.

DOVER March 16.-The Senate Of
Delaware engaged in a great work of
charity yesterday. 1t passed the
House bill and, by a combination Of
Democrats and Republicans enacted
into a law the bill, creating the only
elementary institution In Delaware,
south OF Wilmington. Ia doing this It
gave the people of lower Delaware an
opportunity to expend and enjoy prac-
tically the first appropriation of public
funds of the State made to the lower
counties in years. The bin appropriates
$4,000 to establish a State Hospital at
Harrington.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
erection of additional hospital build
ings, infirmaries and wards and a sep
arate building for members Of the black
races, at the state Hospital, at Farm
hurst, was also passed.
Automobiles were brought TO scratch
in the bill which it passed defining
motor vehicles and providing for the
registration of the same and uniform
rules regulating the use and speed
thereof" BY the new law. the drivers
of motor cars, seeing an approaching
horse which shows signs Of fear, must
stop, run back TO the extreme side of
the road and must shut off all motion.
The owner Of the frightened animal
must then take his own chances with
his fiery steed.
Authority was given to the mayor
and council Of New Castle city to bor-
row $4,000 to be expended exclusively
for harbor Improvement at the river
front Of that city, said to be the finest
on the Delaware and the second land
place Of William Penn, and, later
f.ie landing place and settlement of

Landlords Get Their Share.


Editor The Evening Journal.
l read an editorial sometime ago
which Is suggestive of much thought
Tho purport Of the editorial was that
some how. the laborer is left a bare
subsistence: be his wages nominally
high or low, (Which is true). But il
did not say where his surplus product,
over a bare living, went, or who got it,.
Allow me to suggest one robber Of
labor, who is an absolute non-produc-
er and is entirely useless, who gets the
bulk Of all surplus wealth over the
small portion the laborer gets as wages.
About one third of all wealth pro-
duced goes to the landlord as rent, the
other two- thirds goes to labor as
wages and capitals interest; except
taxes and exorbitant provts The lat
ter is small compared to the unearned
increment of the landlord.
We sec that with all discoveries In
sciences and saving Inventions
the benefits do not accrue to labor. but
arc reflected I'm higher rents. Land
never was so high In the past as Il
is now. We never saw such fortunes
built up in 50 short time as now
All the large fortunes are largely the
result of increased land value. Lord
Sculley takes one-half a million doi-
lars to England every year as rent for
his farms in Logan and Tazwel coun-
tics. Illinois, which cost him SIPS per
acre. The citizens of Illinois made 1,
valuable by locating on and around
It, but Lord Sculley gets IL.
Truly yours,

Central vermont Gets place for Freight
Depot mt Barre.

Barre Oct 29.-Papers have been
passed for the purchase OF the L. G..
Bolster storehouse at the foot Of West
street by the Central Vermont Railroad
company for $4,000 The company pur-
chases the property for the erection of
new freight house and will take
possession Friday. Although there is a
lease on the property for term Of five
years. matters nave been so arranged
that the company may have the use of
tho store house for freight purposes un-
tn the expiration OF the lease. AS soon
as the lease expires the company will tear
down the building and. using the land
now owned where the present freight
house stand. it will erect a commodous
house for the Increasing business which
the freight traffic demands.
The recent order Of the railroad com
mlssoncrs has made it necessary to
move the location of the new depot from
the site where the present one stands
and the company will probably move the
frciClr house toward West street.
Mr. Bolster erected the building about
Il years ago for a freight and store
house in connection with his granite and
other business It has been leased by the

lease a present Is held by S. II. Forsythe.

Efforts Made to Get Life Record
Of Fairbanks before

Brattleboro. Oct 2-Sharp tits of on
posing counsel over minute questions OF
law and an endeaVor to get before the
Jury the previous record, particularly
that of the last two years. of the life of
william Fairbanks. now on trial for the
murder of Mary Grout. SHOW that inc
attorneys for the defense are taking
every possible means to save the accused
man from the gallows.
From to-day's testimony it is evident
that they rest their hope on one issue
alone, that of insanity. Domentia Amer
icana as it is popularity known, will be
their plea for lenency from the jury
From every witness called to-day. the
defendant lawyers have tried to bring ont
that Fairbanks was unbalanced by some
deep emotion previous to the shooting
and that after the affair he was not
himself. 1t is now evident that the in
tention of the defense IS to enlarge upon
the evidence produced by the state. when
1t was brought out that the accused man
had threatened Mary's life, and that he
had often exhibited spasms of emotion,
in an effort to show the jury that these
were fancies of a dcrangcd mind.
