tions, if necessary, made by the consignor

signed; old marks must be removed or eff
faced before packages, bundles or pieces

Note.-Pasted labels or securely fas-
tened tags should be used only when the

DOVER WHISKY rs HOT STUFF

The "speak-easy" whisky that is dis
pensed in Dover is of the knockout"
kind, as has been demonstrated recently,
especially among the negroes.
James Hudson, colored laborer, fell
into deep sleep after partaking OF
some of the adulterated whisky, in which
state he remained for nearly week.
The latest victim is Beaumont Laws, a
negro, who few days ago took drink
of the whisky, in consequence of which
he fell into deep sleep. After sleeping
for,three days and nights, Laws died Sum
day Coroner Joseph Galloway ,of Harring-
ton, held an inquest, after DR.. Harbordt
had performed an autopsy assisted by
consulting physicians.
The State thought this thorough inves-
tlgation necessary as negroes have been
sleeping almost unto death in Dover for
some time on speak-easy whisky and q
crime more grave than that of violating
the prohibition law may be proceeded
on. The jury requested the coroner and
and Deputy Attorney General Satterfeid
to employ detectives and adjournment
was made subject to the coroner's call.
The liquor was doctored with water, CO.
caine and laudanum to make three gal

Kew. E. c. Sunfeld, of FELTON,, and Prof.
James E. Carroll, of Dover, the latter an
Official OF Wesley NJ, E. Church, took
part, positive assurances were given by
Mr. Morgan that charges would be pre.
terred against Rev. A. w. Lightbourne.
pastor OF Wesley N. E. Church, Dover. in
the near future. Several propositions
were made by Mr.. Watt as to the mode of
settling the case, all of which, however,
were In the form of trial of Mr.. Light
bourne. Mr.. Watt, who is chief counsel
in the proposed new trial, submitted sev-
eral propositions to Prof. Carroll, but as
the latter went to FELTON, merely to see
MIR. Morgan and not to consider the merits
OF the case, he could not speak for the
membership or otficiary of Wesley
Church, but suggested that Mr.. Watt in
form the ofticiary of his purposes.
The Methodists Of Dover have not re-
laxed one iota in their determination to
stand by Mr.. Lightbourne. Yesterday
committee appointed at a mems meeting
of the church on Friday evening last,
made public series of resolutions which
declares that the membership and friends
OF the church will insist on the retention
OF Mr.. Lightbourne and stand by him to
the last.
Following is a copy OF the letter of with
drawal OF Mr.. Lightbourne from,Wilming-
ton NJ. E. Conference, which was pre-
sented to District Superintendent S. NJ.
Morgan, on Saturday afternoon last and
which he refused to accept until he had
conferred with certain ministers of the
church:
Dover, Del, June 10Th, 19OS.-Rev.
S. NJ. Morgan, d. D.-Dear Doctor: As I
am informed that another attack upon me
is beingsplanned by means of what is
known as preliminary church trial, and
believing it to be impossible for me to OBJ
tain justice under the conditions of such
a church hearing, I hereby withdraw
from the ministry and membership of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. This to
take immediate effect.
A, W. Lightbourn.
As to the withdrawal of Mr.. Light
bourn, his contention is that it is still ef-
fective and has been since June Goth,
when it was delivered into the hands of
District Superintendent S. NJ. Morgan,
and will continue to be effective until dis
posed of by the Annual Conference. 1t is
wholly with the Annual Conference as to
whether the withdrawal shall be finally
accepted and the record in the matter be
that of a simple withdrawal or with
drawal under complaints.

SERUM FOR PNEUMONIA

One Of the deadliest enemies with
which tile human race has to contend In
the greater number of the States forming
the American Republic is pneumonia. Ii
strikes at both sexes indiscriminately,
and its approach is unheralded, as rule.
by any warning symptoms. For this
reason the claim put forth by distln-
guished European physician, Doctor Ber-
trand, of Antwerp, will prove OF peculiar
interest to American readers.
In a recent lecture delivered before the
Medical Society of Antwerp, the physician
in question described his discovery OF
serum which will cure pneumonia. Doc
tor Bertrand had first satisfied himself of
the efficacious nature of his serum by ex-
perimenting upon animals. Trials were
then made in the Saint Elizabeth and
Stuyvenburg Hospitals in the same city.
Several OF the patients treated with the
new serum were suffering from pneu-
monia in an advanced stage, and were
also habituaI drunkards, which always
greatly increases the gravity of the dan
ger. In every case the serious symptoms
we're completely arrested within 36 hours,
while at the same time the temperature
and pulse became normal. These results
were obtained with a total dose of the
serum not exceeding eight cubic cent?
metres, injected in doses Of one or two
centimetIes at time There is no other
known serum which takes effect when in
jected in such small quantities, nor which
gives such immediate and satisfactory re-
suits. Doctor Bertrand's discovery has,
therefore, been accepted as an important
contribution to modern medical science.

DELEGATES BACK FROM CHICAGO
Think the Taft and Sherman Ticket VIII
Prove Strong Combination

Most of the members of the Delaware
delegation to the Republican Nationai
Convention in Chicago have returned TO
their homes, and all seem to think the
ticket named of Taft and Sherman ls
strong one that will go ahead to victory
in November next. Senator Henry A.
dupont, his son, and Governor Lea re-
turned late Saturday afternoon, and Con-
gresham Burton and other members OF
the delegation arrived Sunday. Senator
Harry A. Richardson went to hissummer
home in the Thousand Islands instead OF
returning to Delaware. General L. Cole
man DUPONT, who was an alternate, went
on business trip to Kentucky and VIII
not return until the latter part OF the
week.
William II. Heald was in Chicago with
the delegation and returned home Sun
day.
All the delegates agreed that the ticket
named is a good one and should prove
strong before the people at the next elec-
ton. The Delaware delegation voted for
tire men named and also for the platform
adopted Governor Lea was named on
the committee to notify Mr.. Taft OF bis
nomination, and Senator Richardson was
named on the eommitte to notify Con-
gresham Sherman of his nomination.
Governor Lea was surprised on his ar
rival to find that Lea buttons booming
him for second term had been distrl-
bu.ed. The Governor had no knowledge
OF them until L. Irving Handy stepped
up to him at French street station and in
formed him of the buttons being handed
out about the city. The Governor when
asked about the buttons Monday said he
knew nothing of them until some of his
friends told him, and he declined to dis
cuss the second term boom as started with
the buttons.

THIS THE SEASON FOR PRESERVING

This is the time par excellence for pre-
serving fruit, and the housekeeper whose
brood is fond of homemade sweets can at
this season make preparations for the
winter which will greatly reduce the bill
for butter and will add to the delicious
ness of cold weather meals. In these
days of gas stoves the work OF making
such sweets is greatly reduced, and SO the
housewife no longer breads it.
There are plenty of cherries in the mar
ket now. and one OF the best and easiest
ways of preserving them is as follows:
Stone and stem tart cherries, saving all
the juice. To every pound of the fruit
allow pound of sugar. Put the sugar and
juice in the preserving kettle over the
fire and when the sugar is entirely dis
solved add the cherries. Cook until the
syrup is very thick; put into glass jars and
seal.
Red raspberries are also plentiful, and
nothing could be more delicious than jam
made from them, as follows:
Allow three quarters of pound OF sugar
to pound of fruit Put the berries on
alone and boil for half an hour, stirring
hard and often. Dip out the superfuous
juice, add the sugar, and cook 20 minutes
more. Put up in jars or glasses.
Another recipe for berry jam says:
Pick out and wash the berries and allow
equal weight of fruit and sugar. Put the
berries into a preserving kettle, mash
them as they heat, and when considerable
juice has been drawn out add the sugar
gradually. Let them boil up all over and
then either skim out the fruit or turn all
into strainer. Set the juice on to boil
again and cook until it is thick or will
"jelly;" put the fruit back and let it boil
once, and seal up in small jars.
If the fruit be very juicy, drain off half
syrup, strain out the seeds and cook until
it iellies. Then put in glasses. Do this
before adding the fruit for the last boil.
A still better plan is to dip out the super
fuous juice before the sugar goes in. Add
pound for pint and make jelly of it.
How to Preserve Peaches
Peaches have not yet become plentiful
enough to preserve, but if the prophets
know their business there will be such
crop of this juicy and delightful fruit
this year that every housekeeper will feel
it her duty to keep some of them for
winter.
To preserve, peel, stone and weigh firm
white peaches, allowing to each pound of
fruit pound of white sugar in alternate
layers in broad preserving kettle and set
the kettle at the side of the stove where
the contents will heat slowly. Stew for
about half an hour after the preserves
come to boil or until the peaches are
tender when pierced by fork. With
perforated skinner take the peaches
from the syrup and spread them on
platter while you boil the syrup until
clear and shick, skimming often. Pack
the fruit in jars, fill these to oyerfowine
with the boiling liquid and seal immed-
lately. Stand the jars in pan of hot
water while filling them,

DEAD DOGS IN GREENWOOD
A Sight that Would Have Pleased
Mr. Covington.

Arthur Thompson, Esq. a well

has been at court for several days.
He relates a remarkable instance

goes to show That Little Old New

map that is afraid Of the terrible
disease.
"A few days ago" he said,
somebody's dog went mad, and
bit more than Il score of other dogs
in Greenwood before his mad ca
rcer was brought in to an abrup,
termination. When the news went
abroad, people grew uneasy, and
several dog-owncrs voluntarily
killed their pets.
There is city ordinance in
Greenwood that requires police
men to shoot at Sight alt loose dogs
that wear no muzzle. The town
marshal is game to the core, and
when the mad dog scare took
hold on the people, he received or.
ders, to rigidly enforce the law,
without fear or favor.
We'll, the result was what
might have been expected. Tho
marshal simply loaded up for dogs
and shot every one he saw with
out a muZzle. He didn't stop to ar
que the matter at all. He slew
without respect for persons. AnC
