YOUNG MAN HAS
OWN WIRELESS PLANT

Says the AIiddletown Transcrip: one
of our staff was more than surprised
the other morning when alighting from
north bound train at Mt. Pleasant
to see a fun and modern equipped wire
less outfit at the depot at that point.
Upon inquiry he found that this ap-
paratus belonged to Arnold b. Colpitts,
the son of the station agent and a
highly educated young man especially
on the subject of wireless electricity,
which study he has made a hobby Of
for the last year or so; in fact on his
own instruments he daily receives mes
sages from vessels far out at sea. The
farthest points with which he has had
communication up to the present have
been Charleston, S. c., and Cape Hat
teras.
When the steamer Kentucky" was
aground quite recently this young
gentleman was able TO distinctly hear
and fully understood the efforts be-
ing made to assist the disabled YES
sci.
This augers well for the new era
dawning upon us, and when a young
man but recently graduated from
Friends School, in Wilmington. our
own State can thus far completely
understand a complicated mechanism
to such extent that he can make a

wonderful power finally accomplish

PASSING OF

taken for granted that such methods OF
training were the only ones possible TO the

Delaware Bay oystermen are much
interested in the hearing in Washing

Delaware Bay oystermen accompanied
the New Jersey delegation of 200 men
who went TO Washington to lodge their
protest against the ruling of the De-
partment of Agriculture which, taking
effect May 1, will prohibit the trans
shipment OF "hoated" oysters.

ing place, plants the oyster in living
water-that is. water nearly if not

WOMAN'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD CIVILIZATION

There is this paradox in woman's at
titude toward civilization from the be-
ginning-that her nature has always
unconsciously and inevitable promoted
departure from every position gained
in the course Of progress and which
apparently she most persistently sought
to uphold and maintain. Only from
the estate OF primitive naturalism she
would not. either really or apparently,
have sought departure, and what de-
parture her nature has since promoted
have been by way OF return to that
estate in some new and more exalted
form-so that she is as conservative
in what new things she unconsciously
seeks as in what old things she con-
sciously maintains. In creative evolu-
ton hers is the real motion as well as
the apparent tability.-Harper's Mag

PREACHER ATTACKS
METHODS OF CHURCHES

HMOND, VA. Special. -
Before an immense congregation
that filed every inch of space in the
edifice, Evangelist NJ. L. Ham unlim-
bered his spiritual guns on parental
negligence in the home, and sinful in
diligence Of the times, at Venable
Street Baptist Church Sunday night.
With an entire absence of rant and
in tone resonant with good nature,
the preacher boldly attacked what he
considered to be the strongholds or
the devil, including the laxity of par
ents whereby young girls and boys
are permitted to roam the streets af-
ter nightfall. The great need of the
times is to purify the homes and
make there influence for good per-
meate both church and State. Dane
ing, card playing, wine drinking and
such like were given sharp and re-
sounding whacks, and although he
was in the pulpit of a church under
the auspices of a society of which a
coffee booth was held at the late State
Fair, he declared that he wasn't sur
prised at anything the Richmond
churches did IL they went into part
nership with the fair by buying
space. which he presumed was on
the same avenue with the shows

The central thought in the dis
