Sacred Holiday.
On the New Year all work IS sus-
pended and no business Is transacted.
It is holiday sacred to members Of the
faith, and no matter how important
ones business affairs may be they are
laid aside for the day and all join in
observing the feast Although the tine
is one of rejoicing. the New Year Is not
ushered IN in a manner similar to that
which ChaTacteTiZes the celebration Of
the first DAY IN the secular calendar. Il

Year are given they are always accom-

peace.
The most picturesque feature of the
services held in commemOratiOn OF the
/ New Year is the blowing Of the shofar
or rams horn. This, however, Is done
every day for a month before the actual
feast arrives. An interesting account
of the origin of this ceremony goes

of the second ascent of Sinai by Moses.
When Moses went up on the holy mount

by making the golden calf. At his

similar crime, Moses ordered the people
10 sound the shOfar daily throughout

Socialism-that is the genuine sort-feeds

are warnings against extreme luxury and ex-

Where Socialism would fail, should it ever

WORK oF rHE FARMERs, FA1R.

"A S AN educational institution the New Cas-
n lie County Grangers' Fair can be of ines
timable benefit to the farmers and the community
in general. 1t is no credit TO Delaware that so
many years elapsed without an exhibition OF this
Sort and the fact that the Grangers' fair grew
from modest proportions until it has reached re-
spectacle dimensions shows that the exposition
was needed. Long ago the Legislature should
have made contribution for State fair. Had
the farmers been alert and insstent in their de-
mands and had not the members of the Legsla-
ture been so busy devoting their energies to pro-
tecting and ooddling private interests and corpo-
rations, Delaware would have had ere this an
annual exhibit in keeping with the reputation and
pretensions of the agricultural element of the
State AT the Grangers' fair will be placed on
show the finest products of our farms Each
grower can see what his neighbor is doing.
Every farmer is stimulated by the displays to
reach more towards perfection in the cultivation
OF his crops We have Jagged in many respects
in our farming methods depending more on the
original qualities of the soil for our products
rather than upon scientic study and the appca-
ton of principles of more intensive cultivation.
At the fair will be exhibits Of stock, and poul-
try, ana grams ana FRUITS Inc quaity OF Dela-
ware stock, as a starter could be greatly inn
proved When it is fully understood that the
raising Of good stock costs no more than does
the breeding Of an inferior class while the returns
in profits are much larger from the better grade,
there will be a needed improvement in this
branch of granger industry. The county fair
teaches this lesson and its yearly repetition will
most assuredly have a wholesome effect as the
years roll by.

SOCIALIST MOVEMENT.

"A T A recent election in England a candidate
n of the Socialists was chosen to Parliament
Mr. V. Grayson-and he will be the only mem
Der of that party in the high English legislative
body. He defeated both the Unionist and the
Liberal candidates The trades unionists in his
nomination were ignored, and hence the leaders
Of the labor party in Parliament did not stump
the district for the candidate Yet, on a clean cut
Socialist platform, Mr.. Grayson was elected. His
success is attributed in the cable dispatches TO
the "wave of Socialism" that is sweeping over
parts OF Great Britain
England has long been proof against the So
ciasts Marx and Engels and Lasalleein their
palmiest days could muster but few followers in
the British isles, although Marx lived there when
he was practically eNiled from Germany. Under
the English flag he prepared the greater part of
his work on Capital"
England has been the home of the individualist
but the election of the one lone member to Par
lament indicates that the Socialist idea is taking
root on British soil.
The assertion that the Socialists in the United
States propose to nominate w. H. Haywood,
who freed at the Idaho trial, for President,
and the active propaganda that the Socialists are
conducting in this country show that this ques-
ton promises TO be live one in America
as it is in England The Socialists are al
ready fighting in the Federation of Labor for
control of that body. AT every meeting so
far they have been Overwhelmingly defeated.
President Gompers, OF the Federation of Labor,
is opposed to the doctrine The next step of the
Socialists will be to strengthen themselves in the
Federation trusting that the result of the Hay
wood trial will give them a stronger grip on the
masses of workingmen.
The attention that the subject is causing may
be judged from the fact that it is discussed in
many Of the periodicals of the country, the EN-
RHeerng News" standard publication, being

THE PLEA FOR HOME MECHANICS.

\ IT HAT practically all the money for the new
II Young Mems Christian Association Build
ing, to be erected in Wilmington, was secured in
the city, is reason why the structure should be
erected by local mechanics if the necessary labor
can be secured. 1t is gratifying TO note that the
local contractors have been awarded many of the
contracts, and the local mechanics are hoping
that they too, will share in the benefits to be de-
rived in this building operation
1t was a good move, therefore, for the local
workingmen to interest the Mercantile Assoca-
ton in their behalf in their endeavor to secure
employment in the erection of the new building
Unfortunately there has been difference be-
tween many carpenters of the city and their
employers, with the result that these carpenters
are out of work or have gone to other places to
earn their living.
The Mercantile Association, represented by
committee, will endeavor to see if the tange
caused by the strike of the carpenters cannot be
adjusted By suggestion and mediation some
way may be found to bring the carpenters and
their employees together
The movement has started for solving of the
dispute in this particular instance, promises to
grow into something larger 1t is suggested that
a sort Of general board of merchants and busi-
ness men be named to consider all labor troubles
in the city. Whethen anything could be accom-
plished or not, the suggested plan is well worth
trying. No harm could come to either side by
general discussion of differences whenever they
arise The opinions of an arbitration board of
business men, should one be formed, would be
merely in the nature of a recommendation, not
binding upon either side. But such a recommen-
dation, after investigation, might be the means
Of smoothing over the rough places and prove OF
benefit to all concerned.

crabs Any one who knows where they
are and who has the proper bait can
go away from home in the early morn
ing and promise his family a meal Of
crabs the next day. Women as well
as men can take them. A boat and
net are the principal weapons needed.
Every one who has fshed for them
at the seashore has either done so in
the thoroughfares or in some of the
numerous streams where they are plen-
tiful. In some instances they can be
seen swimming in the water and dip
ped out with a long-handled net. In
other cases they are fished for as they
are in the Delaware.
This is by going in a boat to a place
where the water is not deep and cast
ing overheard line TO which is fast
ened a sinker and a piece Of "crab
meat" This is usually meat that is too
stale for eating purposes.
When the crab comes along his at
tacks on the meat can be told by his
tugging on the line The pulling is not
so violent as that made by a FISH, but
is noticeable, nevertheless. The line
is then slowly drawn in, hand over
hand, so as not to frighten the victim,
and then, as he appears TO view from
the side OF the boat he is dipped in by
means of the net.
Down the bay a different method is
usually pursued. When the tide is low
a number Of men will man a large net
and so TO a sand bar where the water
Is not over waist deep and drag the
net over il. Sometimes but few crabs
are then taken. but more often several
hundred will be found in the meshes.
The crabs are then sold after each man
has taken all the needs for table pur-
poses. 1t is in this way that the mar
ket Is mostly supplied.

THE FAMOUS GIN LAW.
How It Was Received and Ev9dsd by
the English Public.

The famous gin law" passed IN
1876, is interesting az the earliest
severe blow at liquor dealing among
civilized nations. 1t levied a tax of
20 shilIing5 a gallon on spirits and
a license of $50 for any one selling
or dealing in them. And, being in
advance of public opinion, it failed,
much as other more stringent pro-
hibition laws have failed in our
own day, for the cry was at once
raised that it taxed the poor mans
gin and let the rich mans wine go
free. Every wit, every carlcaturlst,
had his fling at it. Ballads were
hawled around telling of the APP
preaching death Of Mother Gin. The
liquor shops were hung with black
and celebrated uproariously Nine.
Gencva's lying in state, her funeral,
her wake, and so on. The night be-
fore the law went into effect, SO the
contemporary journals say, there
was universal revel all over the
country. Every one drank his fill
ard carried home as much gin be-
sides a3 he could pay for.
TO eyade the law apothecaries
sold it in walls and small pack
ages, sometimes colored and dis
guised, generally under false labels,
such as "Colic Water" "Makeshift,"
Ladies' Delight" There were
printed directions on some Of these
packagcs-c. g. "Take two or three
spoonfuls three OF four times day
or as often as the fit takes you"
Informer5 were very prominent and
exceedingly offensive, inventing
snarcs to catch lawbreakers for the
sake Of the heavy rewards and spy
ing and sncaking around in a way
particularly distasteful to the Eng
lish mind. In consequence they
suffered in their turn. The mere
cry, Liquor spy!" was enough to
raise mob in the London streets,
and Tie informcr was lucky if he
escaped with a sound thrashing and
a ducking in the Thames or the
nearest horse pond. Indeed such an
| oltcry was made about the matter
chat the ministry became very I'M
popular, and the law was not en-
forced after two or three years and
was largely modified in 1743.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

An important Distinction.

When Light Battery A was sta
toned on Wareham street, Boston,
one of the officers was Lieutenant
Brooks. About the time he was
elected lieutenant Brooks, who was
a painter, had a contract to paint
the gun carriages and caissons,
which he carried out in good shape.
When he was before the examining
board for his assignment to duty
he was asked how he dismounted
the pieces when he did the painting.
As explained, the dismounting
proved to have been done in a most
unconventional manner.
"Do you consider, lieutenant, that
you acted in this matter according
to the resulations?" asked the
chairman Of the board brusquely.
The reply was, q did not dis
mount the pieces as Lieutenant
Brooks of the artillery, but as
George Brooks, painter"
Lieutenant Brooks was passed all
right and received his assignment
to duty.-Boston Herald

Department Store Opportunity.

The claim that the department
store clerk has no opportunity rests
upon the basest misrepresentation.
No great business machine, no mat
ter how large and how complicated,
can refuse to recognize sooner or
later that which is out of the ordi-
nary and of commanding quality.
This recognition may come more
slowly to the department store
clerk than it does to the travelling
salesman or drummer, it may not
be so prompt as in some other lines
of trade, but the boy of capacity is
sure Of a recognition of his ability,
whether he begins behind the coun-
ter in the department store or takes
to the road as a seller at wholesale.
Just as sure as water finds its level,
just so sure business ability, with
fair opportunity, will not fall below

In Wemoriam.

Daniel A. Russell the little two
and half year old son of Ander-
son and Mary Russell was fatley
burned last Monday afternoon
and death resulted Tuesday at
FIVE o'clock. All that medical
skill and loving hands could do
was done but God knew best
and he took little Dan, up 10 the
brighter world to live with Jesus.
Through all his suffering he
bore up faithfully unto the end.
He seemed to know he was
going to die and told his mamma
that he was burned up. A few
hours before he died be sang in
the sweetest tones that could
ever be heard. IN the Resurec-
ton, morning we shall rise" All
that knew him loved him, those
who knew him best loved him
best. His bright little Jace is
still and precious little voice can
not be be heard. If he could have
lived no doubt he would have been
all honor to his family his father
mother and little sister miss him
in all their doings, but all they
can do is to meet him who is
waiting for them on the happy
Golden shore. Little Dan was
the light of the home, the bright
est gems are always
