We admit that we are interested in this prom

in Dover. Is he wet or dry? Is he Lightbourne
or anti-Lightbourne? Will Admiral Ainscow

Has he enjoyed any of the Hon. +. NJ. Sopers

mass of Democrats of that county burst forth
as the real Democratic candidate for the United

guise who arrived too late to be of service to
the disappointed ones of Kent? Altogether we
congratulate our friends in Dover that they are
aiming high in their aspirations and that they
are gazing through telescopes at the things

REGULARS OR OTHERWISE.

A + a church Congress recently Dr. Darling
1 y ton, a noted physician, spoke disparag
ingly OF the Emmanuel Movement which has
attracted considerable attention in the large
cities and is not without its followers in smaller
places. Many of the advocates of the movement
looked upon il as the work of the minister sup
plementing that of the physician, but Dr. Oar
lington takes no such view of the matter In
fact he resents the intrusion of the clergy or
any other persons excepting those who have a
strictly ethical and professional education into
the domains of the physician Dr. Darlington
for wants no help.
The doctor says that no one should treat i'll
ness unless he has knowledge of all diseases
and is thoroughly equipped for that purpose.
If his rule were followed to the letter, we fear
that many persons holding medical diplomas
might come under the ban of DR.. Darlington
own law. The doctor objected to hypnotic
suggestion and to all other methods of treat
ment which are not regular" The fact that
so many persons take these new schemes of
treatment shows their dissatisfaction with the
ordinary methods of medicine A person who
is i'll will clutch at any treatment whether regu-
lar or not that hold out hope of relief. And des-
pite the views OF DR.. Darlington and others like
him, there are many persons who bear testi-
mony to the efficacy of treatment other than
that which he regards strictly professional or

Remember how brave Kate Shelly
crawled across a bridge in Iowa sew
eral years ago and saved the North
western limited?
Her heroism has been celebrated IN
song and story.
A fit companion piece to that heroic
deed heroically done. is the story Of
the rescue of nine children by Mary
Mccain, recently awarded a medal by
congress.
1t was five years ago, and Mary was
then but fourteen years of age.
She sat in her invalid's chair that
day on the veranda of a cottage on
North Brother island convalescing
from an attack OF scarlet fever.
Listlessly the girl watched an ex-
cursion steamer loaded to the guards
with Sunday school children, colors
flying and band playing, as it cut the
blue waters.
And then came an awful explosion.
Fire and fame seemed to burst from
every part of the big boat And then
clouds Of smoke enshrouded the scene.
The fearful cries of women and chill
dren arose. The boat was turned and
beached on the sands far out from the
shore.
A crowd gathered, and a few boats
put or to the rescue. People on shore
wrung their hands as they saw women
and children drown before their eyes.
And Mary Mccain, invalid?
Why, the physicians had said that in
her weakened condition she must be
kept very quiet.
And this was the answer of the lit
tie maid: She ran to the water, waded.
leaped. swan through the surf. She
caught a child that had jumped from
the burning vessel into the water.
dragged the little one ashore and
turned it over to willing hands.
Then she turned back on another
mission of rescue.
Nine times did the brave girl so. and
each time she brought back a half
drowned child
This did Mary Mccain. heroine, that
June day. 1904.
And after five years congress. which
is as slow about rewaFding hero med
ais as It is in revising the tariff, pre-
scented, through its presiding officer, a
medal to Mary Mccain.
She has grown since that day Of the
4 explosion of the General Slocum into
a woman and is student nurse at a
Washington hospital.
Isn't it fine?
And do you wonder that old Joe

But find in years that the sweetest duties
