LOOKING FOR
THE &c GIRL

The &c girl, VINO has delighted Phila-
delphia and many other cities. will appear
in Wilmington on Monday. Costumed in
the national colors she will spend several
days in this city giving away bright new
one dollar bills to each housewife who
possesses a package of the popular cereal
food &c Corn Flakes. Thousands of
dollar bills have been distributed in many
other cities by the dainty &c girl and
she is always welcomed by housewives,
whether they possess the delightful pack
age or not, merely for her charming self.
This gratis distribution OF money is a
part Of a clever advertising plan recently
adopted by the Egg-o-see Cereal Com
pany, manufacturers Of the &c Corn
Flakes, and who by this method are
dividing with the consumer some Of the
thousands appropriated this year for ad-
vertiHins purposes.
There is absolutely no favoritism shown
IN this distribution as the &c Girl
comes as a stranger and viii go into
every part OF the city with her bright new
glfts, each worth one hundred cents at
any store or bank. The only thing re-
quired Is that the occupants Of the hou. e
at which she calls shall have a package
OF &c Corn Flakes to show her as well
as a little receipt which the grocer will
furnish when the purchase Of the cereal
is made, together with further instruc-
tions as to how TO fill It out.
The manufacturers Of E-C Corn Flakes
know their product to be the best of its
kind in the world, and their desire TO
have all share this knowledge has led TO
this<plan Of giving away that for which
all crave-money. So watch for the E-C
Girl and if conditions named above are
compiled with you are very likely TO re-
ceive a bright. new dollar bill
This novel method of advertising Corn
Flakes has proven a popular move. and
the question among housewives during tno
girls stay in this city 10 give cash prizes
10 those who have complied with the
necessary conditions promises to be:

HOLD MARRIAGE
WAS UNLAWFUL.
Father Of Young Bride Goes
to Grand Jury Concern
ing Husband

George Biefuss's first marriage with
Sarah Markowitz. which caused a com
motion in Kensington a month ago,
came before the grand jury there yes
terday and was returned to court by
that body as unlawful. Meyer Marko-
witz. the girls father. is the prosecu-
tor.
Biefuss and Sarah Markowitz were
married in Wilmington late in June.
Since then the home of the girl has
been draped in mourning and the mem
bers Of her family look upon her as
dead to them The father had picked
out husband for Sarah, a South street
business man, but Biefuss had been
counting her. The marriage with the
South street business man was fixed to
take place this month Whe the girl
learned this she informed Biefuss that
If he wanted her he would have to do
the heroic thing of marrying her at
once. Then the elopement to Whining
ton took place.
The Markowitzes say that Sarah is
under 16. The girl insists that she will
be II in September, and that she pro-
posed the marriage with Biefuss in
order to escape the other her parents
had arranged for her.
They are the couple who were first
married by the Rev. V. 2. Northrup
Of Goodman NJ. f. Church, on June 90
and on Saturday last they came to
Wilmington again and participated in
a second marriage ceremony at which
the Rev. John J. Connolly, of St
Thomas r. c. Church oficiated. The
young man bore a letter to Father Con-
nelly from the priest Of his church IN
Philadelphia, he being a member OF the
Roman Catholic Church and desiring to
be married by a clergyman of that
faith since his parents objected to the
first ceremony, at which the Rev. MT
Northrup officiated.

Although at the beginning every

Consider how weak was Jesus Christ

think Of the wonderful work He was
able to accomplish in later years. Out
Of weakness comes strength. out Of
darkness comes light, and out Of a
multitude OF mistakes come great suc-

MOB STONES CAR
FROM this CITY
Attacked as it Entered CheS-
Ter Last Night, and Police
Called Out

CHESTER, Pa, July ia car
bound TO this city from Wilmington
was attacked by a mob at Ninth street
and Highland avenue last night and
many bricks and missiles were thrown
at IT,
A small colored boy. a passenger, was
so frightened that he jumped Off and
ran into a nearby house.
Sergeant Modem and a squad Of po-
lice went TO the scene and escorted the
boy TO this city on q car. The mob
disappeared before the police arrived.
Frank O'Donnell, who was arrested
At Darby on suspicion of being impli-
Gated In the wreck Of the Chester Trac-
tion Company's car, on the Darby di-
Vision, at Norwood. was released by
Deputy Sheriff j. Alfred Howard, who
concluded that there was not sufficient
evidence TO hold him.
Declaring that the placing Of large
quantities OF high eplosives upon the
tracks If the Chester Traction Com
pany's lines is little short Of murder,
the county commissioners at a special
meeting yesterday offered a reward Of
$500 for the conviction of the person or
persons who are committing the
crimes.
Since the strong utterances Of Judge
Broomall from the bench few days
ago to the effect that the boycott is a
crime and those who are fomenting II
are guilty OF crime, many persons have
taken to riding on the cars. The lines
selected by those using die dynamite
are those upon which there has been
an increase of travel and the authori-
ties are convinced that II is being
done to scare of the people who have
courage TO ride.
II is almost a foregone conclusion
there win be no settlement of the strike
situation as far as the old men are con-
cerned
Deputy Sheriff Howard states that he
expects to make several arrests in this
city in the next twenty-four hours Of
Chester men on the charge of blowing
up cars. Sheriff Howard verified the
statement that he had found near the
scene Of the wreck in Norwood a por-
tion of nitrogiycerin and canvas
glove, resembling that worn by mo-
lorna.
Mayor johnson tonight will ask that
.Councils offer a large reward for the
arrest and conviction of any person
guilty of blowing up cars
