TWO FAILURES.
w. A. rIiIIer of Hermanviile and
j. w. Peyton of RegantOn
Bankrupts.

]. w. Peyton, doing a general
merchandise business at Reganton,
filed a petition in bankruptcy last
Friday.
On Saturday, w. A. Miller, a
general merchant of Hermanville,
filed petition in bankruptcy. His
liabilities are placed at $2.557.o4;
assets, sass.
The ReveiIle is unable to learn
either the assets or liabilities of
Mr.. Peyton. The financial de-
preston, caused by the unfavor-
able season just ended. the fear of
boil weavil ravages, and the NOV
ing out of many laborers brought
about the failure of these two
firms.
There have been four merchants
in the county to close their doors
within the past four weeks: ]. F.

Alice Simms, was painfully and
possibly fatally burned Saturday
night while discharging fireworks.
The little fellow had half dozen
Roman candles stuck in his belt
while he was discharging another
one. All were ignited by falling

clothing was cut from him by Mr..
R. G. Hastings, who heard him
screaming from his home half
square away. was terribly burned.
1t is not yet known whether the
burns will result fatally or not,

Preacher After Card Pzizes.


"The woman who plays cards
prizes, the white gambler and the
negro crap shooter are all equally
guilty" was the scathing arraingn-
ment of Evangelist John E. Brown
in sermon yesterday evening at
the Methodist church. "Either
you should let the ignorant black
go free when he is caught playing
his crap game, or you should ar
rest the woman who plays for the
valuable trophies, and lock them
all up together, said the evange-
list.
The arraignment of card play-
ing came in a sermon whose theme
was sswhat SO ever man soweth,
that shall he also reap" He char
acterized the home in which gamb.
ling is permitted as the "kindergar.
ten of gamblers" and 10 otheI
strong words scored the habit. He
also touched upon heredity, saying
that so long as mothers cultivate
the gambling habit, SO long vii
children be born with inherited
tendency for gambling"

ing a deterring influence. The
fallacy of them is quite obvious il
one will only take the time and
pains to reflect. Infidelity is hoary
with age. It has done nothing but
destroy. It has never built a hos
pitaI, or asylum, or school, or
made a single man better and
nobler, but it has destroyed its
thousands. Alas
8. The condition governing a
mans home turns him from church
and impels him to drift away from
Christianity. Many men have
Christless wives, whose chief en-
pIoyment is card-playing and
spending money, whose character
istic temper is cross and petulant,
Notwithstanding they bear the rep
utation for sweet-spiritedness-
whose chief idea of man is that he
is to make money for them to use
in gratifying depraved taste. Many
mans home rears itself like a
mountain iusurmountable shutting
him off from religion.
a.. The notion is entertained by
men that religion is something for
women and children; that man,
strong man, energetic man, does
not need it. But when. calamity
and catastrophe and trials and
sickness come, man cries out to
God and shows that he needs re-
ligion just as women and children
need it. Stoicism is good theory
when the sky is clear and the sea
is calm, but it goes to pieces the
moment adverse circumstances
arise. Religion is the need of men
and should be their chief concern.
S. The last reason why men do
not go to church is given by Christ.
Eye will not come unto me
that ye might have life." What is
true now is true every where in all
ages Man will not come to be
saved with the salvation Christ Of
fers. Christ knew this, and he
said, "Broad is the way that lead
cath to destruction and many there
be that go In thereat; but straight
is the gate and narrow is the way
that Ieadeth unto life and few there
be that find it. And yet the
church is growing in numbers and
influence, and this is because it is
growing in liberality, and in intel
ligent activity and in the practice
of the christian virtues.
1t should be noted in closing
that the best men that walk the
pages of history, are christian
men. The men who have created
epochs IN science-the Newtons,
Bacons, Faradays, Davys and
Henrys, were christian men. The
men who have made their mark in
literature-the SCOTS and Haw-
thornes, and scores of others were
lchristian men. The same obtains
| in philosophy and statecraft, fol
the time would fail to enumeratf
the names of Hamilton and Reid
Gladstone and Mckinley. Chris
titan men lead in businss and trade
lin all the humanities of tht
lworld. Christianity makes mer
more precious than fine gold, and
the church offers him a sphere il
which to display his manhood
EMen need the church, and tn
Ichurch needs the men, and if mer
Iwere really sincere in many 0
their positions, they would be il
the front ranks of the church. Blu
they do not because they will not
They are lacking the inclination
and courage.

powder Trust Case Near Close

In New York, on the 14th, James +.
Scarlet, counsel for the Government, nm
ished presenting rebuttal evidence before
Federal Examiner Mahaffy IN the nearing
in the suit Of the Government against the
dupont de Nemours Powder Company Tor
alleged violation of the Antitrust law.
Counsel for the defence, W. H. Button,
reserved the right to answer the Govern
ment's rebuttal, and July 25th was set
for hearing in case Mr.. Button should
want to avail himself Of the privilege.
It is said, however, that the hearings be-
fore Examiner Mahaffy were virtually
closed with to-day's session.
The testimony taken at the numerous
hearings, which extended over practically
two wears, will now be printed to be sub
mitted with briefs of counsel to the United
States Circuit Court at Wilmington. Del,
where the suit was brought by the Fed
eral authorities.
The Powder Company will put in their
evidence in sur.rebuttal before Special
Master VIM. G. Mahaffy, in New York
next Monday, which will conclude the
case so far as the taking OF testimony is
concerned. MI. Mahaffy will Immediately
make his return of record and his report
to the United States Court at Whining
ton. 1t is probable that the return will
be made before fall, and the case will be
argued with three judges sitting
The case has been n OF the longest OF
all of the cases of the kind that have been
conducted by the government during the
past few years, and during the time hear
ipgs have been held in New York, Will
mington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago
and one or two other cities, while wit
nesses have been examined from different
parts of the country, some of them IRON
San Francisco and other parts OF the ex-
IRENE West. 1t is probable that nearly
200 witnesses were heard. About twenty
attorneys have been interested in the case,

Lessons From the Fight

Whatever may be the opinion Of prize
fighting. there are some lessons that the
fstic profession teaches and William
Muldoon, the noted proprietor of a SAN
itarium and traing school, has extracted
some that every boy should ponder.
Pages Of ridiculous stuff and more
pages of disgusting pictures have been
printed of the Reno battle, but one man
who saw the fight has found food for
thought. What Muldoon says is pretty
nearly the only production that came
from the ring side authors that is really
worth pe~rpetrating.
MuldoOn hunted for the real cause OF
the defeat of the white man. He discov-
cred that the will power of the former
champion had been so weakened that
be was unable to command himself
when he faced his agile opponent in the
ring. The practice of some vices which
too many men lightly regard, coupled
with the life Of incidence with no fixed
purpose gives the explanation.
The lesson which this trainer draws
from the defeat of Jeffries does not end
with the prize ring. The causes which
destroyed the brain power of a great
athlete, perform the same offices for
younp men i'm every vocation The
failure of quite a number of employees
and their inability to rise at their occu-
patton can be traced to a pursuit of the
same vices that brought the fistic
champion low.-Chester Times.

No Money For Lighthouse Work

When the bill passed at the last session
of Congress recognizing the lighthouse
| establishment of the United States be-
came a law, on July lst, 1910, it was sup
posed, through a misunderstanding, that
numerous appropriations for improve
ments in the several lighthouse districts,
| which the bill originally provided for,
| had been allowed. Included in this sched-
| ule of supposed appropriations was SOL
| 900 for improving and extending the eight
| honse station at Edge Moor, which is the
station OF the local district; also $4,000
for completing the Mlah Maui Shoai and
| $50. 900 for a lighthouse on Joe Flogger.
| Shoal, all of which are in the fourth
Lighthouse District. which includes the
Delaware River and Bay, but it was told
Commander Fl. A. Bispham, U. S. N,
| the inspector in charge of the district,
that the bill contained no appropriations
| when it became a law, all of the items
have been stricken out before its passage,
| though this evidently was not generally
known.
Why the appropriations were stricken
out is not definitely known, but it is said
that the reason was given at Washington
that it was desired to %reorganize the
lighthouse establishment first and look
after the necessary appropriations for
improvements afterwards.
Prior to the passage of the bill it was
expected that all of the Delaware River
and Bay allowances would be made and
that the proposed Improvements ct Edge
Moor and down the bay could be proceed
ed with Immediately after the money be-
came available, on the first of July, but
Inspector Bispbam said that as no money
was appropriated in the bill nothing
could be done at Edge Moor or Joe Flog-
ger Sheal, but as there remains some
money for the Miah Maui Shoal light,
which is in process OF construction, that
work can proceed.
Commissioner Putnam of the lighthouse
bureau, as now established has visited
the Edge Moor station III company With
Inspector Bispham, and saw what was
needed there, and it is likely that he
will recommend to the next Congress
that the appropriation be made. The
station is inadequate and it is necessary
to provide additional wharfage.
Major R. R. Raymond, the United
States engineer has made a recommends
ton the government that the next appro-
priation for Wilmington harbor be fixed
at $417, 900, of which amount $1,000 is
to be used in purchasing a dredge to be
kept at work on the channel.
The commerce of the steam last year
amounted to over $64, 900, 900, and he
thinks this entities the harbor to consid-

Cause for Astonishment.

A story in an October magazine
reaches it's climax with this passage
"Witn the kiss came incomprehensi-
BILE splendor. His harshness slipped
away; and all his uncouthness, his vul-
garity. his egotism, his Impotence, his
irrational precocity, his disdain. He
kissed her, and he knew he loved her.
And the spell of her kiss and the
knowledge Of her love brought to him
an abiding patience. q sense of calm
ness, maturity and frank humility. He
was strong with a different strength,
a strength that took its strength from
eternity He closed his eyes mo-
ment and murmured: My God! All
on the same day." And well he
might exclaim 1t was enough to as
tonish any man.
