RAN A SPEAKEASY

Quoting speakeasy. He is Isaiah Yin.
cent, colored, a caterer. He. had an
early morning quarrel with bis son and
drove the boy out. The lad retaliated
with brick aimed at his fathers head
the moment he could get it outside the
door, and the aim was direct.
Vincent, with his bandaged bead,
sought the law to soothe his perturbed
feelings, and Vincent, Jr., was jailed.
Then came time for the scion's revenge
against the father and he took,it. He
sent for Constable John w. Foraker,
one of the attaches of Magistrate Woods
coart, and unfolded the mysteHR of the
maze which. if once penetrated, would re-
veal well-stoeked whisky and wine room.
The list of material witnesses was also
fHrn ished.
Isaiah Vincent was arrested by. Con-
stable Foreaker aud committed to Jail for a
hearing.
At the preIninaryshearing of Vincent
before Magistrate Wood this morning,
two distinct charges of selling intoxicahts
developed Beside the testimony Of
Walter Vincent. the defendants son,
Charles Gibson swore to purchasing a
hall pint OF wliskey from him for twenty
five cents.
Four witnesses produced by Vincent
denied this testimony after admonitions
from the judge that the new law made
perjury serious ffense.
I. Vincent was held in default of $500 bail.

WHAT LOVE OWES TO LOVE

A missionary was preaching to the
Maori tribe OF New Zealanders. He had
been telling them of the sufferings OF
Christ-how He had poured forth His
soul unto death for them, and as he con-
cluded the hills rang to the thrilling quee-
ton:
sit is nothing to you, all yon who pass
by2 Behold and see if there be any sor-
row like unto His sorrow."
Then stood forth plumed and painted
chief, the SCARED warrior of many fights
and as his lips quiyered with emotion he
spoke:
"And did the son+of the Highest suffer
this for us men? Then the chief W 1uld
like to offer Him some poor return for
His great love. Would the Son OF God
like to accept the chiefs hunting dog7
Swift of foot and keen of scent, the tribe
has not such another, and he has been to
the chief as a friend"
But the missionary told him that ibe
Son had no need Of such gifts. Thinking
he bad mistaken the gifts he resumed:
Yet perhaps He would accept my WE'LL
tried rifle. UnerIing of aim, the chief
cannot replace it. J" Again the missionary
shook his head.
For a moment the chief paused; then,
as q new thought struck him, suddenly
despoiling himself OF bis striped blanket,
he cried, with childlike earnestness,
Perhaps He who bad nowhere to lay
His head will yet accept the clieftain's s
blanket. The poor chief will be ccld
without it, yet it is offered joyfully.'
Touched by loves persistency, the mis-
sionary tried to explain to him the real
nature Of the Son Of GodS that is was not
mems gifts, but mems hearts, that He
yearned for.
For moment cloud Of grief darkened
the rough features Of the old chief; them.
as the true nature Of the Son of God
slowly dawned upon him. casting aside
bis blanket and rifle, be clasped his hands
and looking up into the blue sky, bis face
beaming with joy, be exclaimed:
Perhaps the Son Of the Blessed One
will deign to accept the poor old chief
himself The Gottdger and Ar4isa,a.

early Saturday morning bym unusual
noises. he surmised that. thieves were
raiding his henhouse. And just because.

grabbed. his loaded shotgun and darted
downstairs. 49, ~
When he appeared two men scurried
across the barn yard and fesping into a
wagon they drove furfously away before
Veasey could shoot at them. 80:
Veasey was not to be outdone, how
ever, so he leaped on the back Of one
Of his best horses sndistarted in pursuit
Of the wagon that was Gathering down
the road, good distance ahead
After a thrilling pursuit yeasey on
horseback overlook the Wagon, and a.
the point of bis gun be caused two young
white men ID it to surrender. Then he
caused them to drive to Glasgow, Thir-
teen chickens were in the wagon, bat the
young men who gave the names Of Samuel
Tibbett and Richard Stewart, aged IS
and 2Oyears respectively, asserted that
theRhad gotten the fowls from a farmer
named Taylor.
Farmer Veasey was not taking such
statements SO early IN the morning
"Show me- he said, and with his trusty
shotgun handy, he mounted his sborsc
again and compelled the young men. to
drive to Taglor's place four miles away.
Taylor said he had not given any chickens
to the young men that he knew Of, and
it developed that some Of Taylor's plump
hens had disappeared from his coops dnrl
ing the night.

were arraigned before Magistrate Butter-

clare There Was No Drunkenness

Reports from down the State are that
the first Saturday night in f'dry" Kent
and Sussex. counties was devoid OF any
disorder. and that the merchants in the
principal towns did thriving business.
Correspondents in tie various towns re.
port that there was not drunken man
seen" on the streets. Saturday night is
the great night in the down-state towns.
Persons flock in from the surrounding
country to do their shopping, and many
come in to get their liquor, part Of which
they drink and part of which they take
away with them. The latter class is
composed mostly Of negroes. But the
liquor was missing on Saturday night,
and none of the incidents that stirred
down State residents in their crusade
against license we're seen on the streets.
Reports from some of the towns say:
SMYRNA, November 1StE-Residents of
Smyrna are highly pleased with their
first Saturday night under prohibition.
Not drunden man was seen ON the
streets, which is unusual for Smyrna OH
Saturday nights The town was crowded
as usual and all the merchants reports
having done big business. 1t was
learned that three persons went to Town
send TO get liquor on Saturday night.
The Delaware House is to continue open,
under proprietor Goldsborough, but it is
understood the other hotels will close.
DOVER, November 1Sth-If Saturday
night here under the "dry" regime is to
be taken as citerion, it will be difficult
to get them to vote "weL" should the
license question ever be resubmitted.
The merchants did big business and all
expressed themselves as pleased with
their sales. The usual Saturday night
crowd came to town, but there was no
drunkenness or disorders
MILFORD, November 1Sth-MiIford got
another sample of "dry" Saturday
night, and the town is satisfied with the
result. The big crowds focked in from
the country as usual, there being big
populatiouo of colored folks about Milford,
and the merchants report that their busi-
ness was as good as,eyer, while there was
an utter absence of intoxicated persons
on the streets. The hotels are still open,
and should they close company of citi-
zens stands ready to buy the Central
Hotek
HARRINGTON, November 18th-Saturday
evening was the most quiet night ex-
perienced at this place for long time.

There is considerable talk among lead
ing prollibitionists of making the move
ment an international one, and 1t is un-
derstood that negotiations in that direc-
tion are already under way with promi-
nent temperance workers in England and
Scotland
The Hon. ]. Allen Parker, a leading
member of the British Imperial Parlia-
ment., who has just made tour OF the
United States and Canada, and is about
TO start on his way home to England tells
me that during his trip he has looked
carefully into the matter OF temperance
legislation both here and in the Dominion.
In the state of North Dakota he has found
prohibitory law in force and he bad
observed the prosperous condition Of the
towns and villages of that state as COM
pared with those OF the state of Montana,
where the sale of liquor was apparently
quite unrestricted. The law in North
Dakota was strictly enforced, public opin-
ion being behiad the governor of the
state in the work OF enforcement.
He had observed with much interest
the operation of the liquor laws in all
parts OF Canada In the matter of tenn
perance legislation Canada was far in
advance of the mother country, where
there was no Sunday c,osing and no
closing on election days.
The liquor bill of Great Britain was
about 500 per annum per family, twice
that of the United States and four times
that OF Canada per family. This was
most serious handicap In the race of the
world for commercial supremacy, and the
only element in the financial situation
which saved Great Britain and gave to
her the graf prosperity which she en-
joyed was her policy of free trade.
At the approaching session of parlia-
ment the land valuation bill and the
Scotch land bill would be first introduced,
after which education and temperance
measures would be brought forward.
What was proposed in England in the
matter OF temperance legislation was to
grant to municipalities the right of local
option, as has been done with great sue
cess in Australia and New Zealand, as
well as in Canada.

letter has aroused no little antagonism
among a certain class of people in this

all, some authority for the inscription.
But, in spite Of this fact, the more intelli-

the hope that the Presidents dictum will
