STATE FEDERATION wONGN'S CLUBS.
To Be Held This Year May 20 and p, at Lewes
With a Fine Program

The State Federation Of WOmen's
Clubs, with which so many women in
Delaware. are identified, is making
elaborate preparations for the elev-
enth annual meeting, which will be
held at Lewes on May 20 and q. The
program promise to be one Of great
interest A treat is in store for Della
ware club women who are interested
in the work of the General Fedora
tion. This is no less than an address
to be delivered by Mrs. Phillip Car
penter of New York, a member of
the Board of Directors of the General
Federation, and a lecturer well-known
throughout the country. The meeting
will also have as a feature thir9 as
an address upon "'The education of
the Child" by Miss Jane Brownlee,
of New York. Miss Brownlee has
travelled extensively among the schools
of the country, and thus her knOwl-
edge Of education all matters is so com
prehensive and accurate and her sym
pathy with young people so keen that
anything she may have to give the
club women of Delaware cannot but
be exceedingly valuable and helpful,
not alone to teachers, but to all who
are in anyway interested in the
education of the child.
Under the department of household
economics which department has been
created in the Federation this year,
DR.. Henry Hayward will discuss ''The
Relation of the Consumer to the
producer of Pure Milk. Under the
auspices of the arts and crafts com
mittee, there will be an exhibit of
articles made by the women of Della
ware. This exhibit which will be
somewhat Of an innovation for the
Delaware Federation, and certainly
of great interest to club women
and will in all probability be taken
later to Boston for the meeting Of
the General Federation which is
called for June %. The subjects to
be discussed at the annual meeting
are many and varied, advisely, that
everyone may find something of real
interest.

HISTORICAL LETTER
FROM THOS.S.START
EARLY SETTLEMENT OF
DELAWARE BY SWEDES.
Interesting Story About the Rev.
John Campanaius, who Settled
in Wilmington in 1862.

Some of US, out of whose hearts all
the freshness of youth has not Sc
capped still delight to read those
wonder tales of the old Arabian
Nights for the sheer magical charm
which is in them. To those here is a
story that will, at least, be interest
ing. In the month of February, 1862,
there landed at place then known as
"'The Rocks, on the Christiana
River, within the present limits of
Wilmington, Rev. John Campanius,
whose name was sometimes printed
John Campanius Holm, the last
named denoted the place of his
residence, Stockholm, Sweden,
Campanius, who came with a vessel
load of Swedish and Dutch immi-
grants was the second minister who
visited the shores of the Delaware
River, and the first who remained any
considerable length of time, his
predecessor, Tonkillus, making only
brief stay. Campanuis remained in
the county six or seven years,
exercising the priestly function,
seeing much of the country, the
natives and early settlers, and wrote
a book, which edited by his grand
son, printed originally in Swedish and
translated into English, from some
Of the earliest authorities on New
Sweden, and is for the most part
trustworthy.
His errors and exaggerations are
at this day obvious, but when the
writings of the clergyman first ap-
peared in Sweden they must have
created the liveliest interest in the
practically unknown land, and
no doubt many innocent Scandinavians
marveled greatly at some of the
things of which they were told Of
the existence of precious metals the
chronicler told only such stories as
were common to the other writer's of
the time, and for which it is easy to
account, as for instance, by the quite
nature mistake Of mistaking iron
pyrites for silver and gold. But such
stories were far too tame and com
mon place for the imagination of
Campanius.
Readers of Rider Haggard's start
ling story, "Allen Quartermain, will
readily recall his description of the
lOathsome and horrible fresh-water
crabs which the adventurous travellers
encountered on the banks of a river
in the earth of Africa. The Swedish
minister's descriptin of monster beast
seen at "Spider's Point, . (now
Bombay Hook is more marvellous
than the nightmare tales of Africa.
He writes: "At SPIDERS Point,
when the South wind blows, a great
many sea spiders are driven on
shore, which are not able to return
into the water. They are as large as
tOrtoises, and, like them, have houses
over them of kind of yellow horn.
They have many feet, and their tails
are half an ell long and made like q
three-edged saw, with which the
hardest tree may be sawed down.

The resignation of Adam Kaem-

stoned several changes in the roster
of officers of our fire scrappers.
w. 4. Coon succeeds Kaemlein,
l.. M. Oihus takes Coon's old place
and Sam Hancock captures the cap
taincy of hose company No.
The roster as it stands at present
is:
B. +. Noonan, fire chief.
w. T.. Coon, first assistant.
l.. M. Oihus, second assistant.
Tom Carroll, captain of chemical.
w. l.. Speer, captain of hook
and ladder company.
Sam Hancock, captain of hose

Jess Linquist, captain of hose
company No. 2.
There are now about IS men,
bers in good standing in the de-
partment and new members coming
in. The weekly meetings are be-
ing we'll attended. Now that the
days are getting longer it is expect
ed that the fire laddies will get out
occasionally of evenings and prac-
tice. A little practice will greatly
increase the efficiency of our fire
fighters and the boys should re-
ceive every encouragement and
assistance possible at the hands Of
the council and our people.

Would not Try 1t.

A bunch of st. Johns people
went over to attend services in one
of Portland's beautiful churches
last Friday night. Going up Third
street their attention was attracted
to a window in which were dis
played several pretty snow white
rabbits. One of the ladies in an
ecstasy Of delight and admiration
exclaimed: "Oh. isn't that too
cute! look how they wiggle their
noses" and turning to a rude bar
barian who was member of the
party remarked: TN bet you can t
wiggle your nose like that" Just
then the mamma rabbit began
scratching her nose with her hind
foot. The horrid man seeing his
opportunity quickly replied: ''No,
and I'll bet you cannot scratch
your nose with your hind foot like
that bunny, either" You could
have heard the shout that went up
half way to Council Crest and they
are not done laughing yet.
