The pIreetolre oyster.

The fat pudgy, plump style in
oysters has gone out. Every ono must
now be slim. lssome. fatless and hip
less, meagre in fact to the point Of
scrawniness. And behind this change
OF fashion is a far better reason than
can be adduced in support of most Of
that fckle danes DEGREES. Even wien

A superficial inspection of the water
about floats and boat houses in the
neighborhood Of cities-the usual fat

it's extreme dirtiness. If a glass OF
such water were drunk with the

achieved as when the oysters are

NEW DEMOCRATIC SENATOR.

IT WO Of the Democratic Senators in test
h vote on one Of the schedules the other
day in the Senate supported Mr.. Aldrch and
the majority. One of the Senators was Mr..
Hughes, of Colorado who succeeded Mr. Teller.
Hughes has been described as a man of much
force an able leader He is a rich attorney; he
contributed $1,000 to the campaign fund of Mr..
BRYAN.
When he was elected Senator, Democrats
throughout the country, especially those in the
East, were much pleased They predicted that
he would become one of the leaders of the party
1t must be dscouragng to them to sec the new
Senator fly the track at the first opportunity.
The Democrats in years gone by, pridei them
selves on standing together against protective
duties During the Bryan campaigns il was
argued that however much the Democrats might
differ on other things they were as one on the
tariff. Bryan was a good Democrat, therefore,
Because he was for a low tariff. But the recent
debates in the Senate show that the Democrats
not only are apart on other questions, but they
are badly divided on the tariff.
And along comes one of their newest and most
brilliant Senators who jumps into the protection
band wagon at the first opportunity No won
der many people are trying to ascertain just
what are the principles of the Democratic party.
Democrats seem to be united on nothing. Dur
ing the organization of the House a number OF
the Democrats went with Speaker Cannon and
during the tariff debates the Democrats have
been far from being unit.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. May 13.-No community
ever watched for a court decision WITH
more eagerness than is manifested in
Dover now as Dover awaits the decision
Of Chancellor Nicholson in the Wesley
Church case tomorrow.
Citizens Of Dover and vicinity, whether
members Of any church or members Of
other churches are almost equally eager
to hear which side viii reopen and take
possession Of the church and parsonage
now locked-whether II shall be the con-
ference authorities or DR.. Llghtbourne's
congregation, as the opera House audi
ences have come to be known.
Just what shall be done after the de-
cision. il II shall favor the conference. or
If It shall favor the major congregation,
seems to be the subject of greatest con-
sideration, and while the lawyers arc not
giving out any information as 10 their
moves. there is a prevailing opinion here
that the major congregation will install
Dr. Lightbourne at the Smith residence as
a parsonage and prepare TO purchase the
opera House or build an independent
Methodist or a Christian Church some-
where I'm an accessible part Of Dover.
OF course, this viii bo the step if the
conference should win possession OF the
property for its representative, Rev Ed
mond L. Hoffecker
Should the congregation succeed. It may
reopen the church and so on without any
other organization than that OF the cor
poration OF wesley Church, near Dover
which is tho name of the present holding
board or corporation, and with Or. Light
bourne as pastor.
Whether the conference will then at
tempt to enter by another court route, or
whether the presiding elder will order
Rev. Honecker to stay on the ground and
simply make pastoral visits for the re-
mainder OF the year. as now, with an oc-
casional preaching service, is another
question.

There is little excuse for such conditions. Very
