HISTORICAL EXHIBIT At THE
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The members OF the Delaware Society
of Colonial DANES were given private
view of the collection Of historical and
antique articles which will comprise
the historical exhibit of Delaware at the
jamestown Exposition, last Monday
afternoon, in the home Of Mrs. Charles
G. Rumford in Wilmington.
Tits doubtful if such an array Of arti.
cles connected with the early history Of
Delaware and Delawareans who made
the early history of this State and the
nation, was ever before cotton together
in a single collection. The various ar.
tieles have been loaned to the Colonial
Danes for exhibition, and great care is
being taken to prevent any loss or
damage to the hundreds OF priceless
relics which comprise the exhibit.
The Delaware exhibit, which has been
collected after much labor and careful
searching, will be on exhibition in the
Palace of History at the exposition.
The greatest care will be taken to
safeguard all articles intrusted to the
committee, Of which Miss Helen Nc.
Kim of Milford is a member, both in
transit and at the exposition. The
Palace of History is absolutely fire
proof, and ample guards will be provid.
From various points in the Slate
large number of valuable articles, laden
with associations with Delaware's early
history, have been received and cata-
logued. Included with these relics are

William G. Lofand to sell liquor in the
Windsor Hotel, South Milford, which

went, since last October, and granted
the application. Mr.. LOfland opened
his bar Monday morning. The future

in the hands of the hotel people them.
selves, and if the laws are lived up to,
as we'll as it is possible for them to live
to the letter Of the law, there will be no
trouble, but if the habitual drunkards
are to have free reign, or the bowling
mobs of negroes aud druken whites are
again seen on the streets, the people
will not stand for that kind of business,
and Milford can be then surely set down
as one of the towns that will give a
majority for the closing Of all places to
liquor selling. The liquor business is
legalized by law, but it is not given
liberty to break the laws or offend the
people who object to liquor in general.
Milford is again a "wet" town, and it
is up to the hotel men to say what the
future shall be.
