1t entered and distracted almost
every congregation, and divided many
OF them into separate organizations.
The most intensely bitter feeling ex-
listed between the two parties: and
vet each side asserted its strict ad-
herence to the standards of the
Church.
The New Side oi the New Castle
Presbytery held their first meeting at
the White Clay Creek Church. The
great majority OF members were on the
New Side.
Several reasons incline us to believe
that for two years the old side were
not organized and active, but we in
quire in vain for any definite history
of the bitter contention which must
have prevailed for ten wears, until the
New Side erected a church on the
present location. Tradition says that
both parties, each with their pastor
assembled and strove for the posses
sion of the church building, that they
went earlier and earlier in the morn
ing and finally on SATURDAY. evening,
in order to have prior occupancy;
and that on one occasion Mrs.
Blake was in the pulpit brandishing an
axe handle when hev minister entered
the door. He hesitated: she sum
moned him as coward to come on
and take his place,

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of our loved
one who departed this life on April
g, 1910.
We loved him, yes, we loved Ralph,
But God loved Ralph more,
For he spoke and tenderly called
Ralph
To that beautiful Golden Shore
Although f<,r hearts are broken
And never can be filled,
For with farewells unspoken
Ralph sailed away TO that home.
There is a spot that's vacant
For it never can be filled,
And O. how much we miss dear Ralph
In our home that is so still
Ralph has gone from our sight,
We miss Ralph every day,
But some day we hope to meet Ralph
In that home where there is no sor-
row or care.
Ralph was too good to stay
On this earth that was SO drear.
But Ralph is watching till we come
On that beautiful Golden Shore.
Father. Sister and Brother.
The bright CHEEKY soul who lives
the life OF trust only sees the sunny
side OF everything; she has learned to
endure cheerfully and wear bright
face when everything looks dark.

CHILDREN STARVE WHILE
FATHER SATISFIES LAW
Travesty on Justice Allows Drunken
Parent to Eat While Babes
Go Hungry

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.--People who doubt
that children are starving in Chicago
are invited to go to the home of John
Rylowicz, 1920 Elston avenue, and see
there two little children, one boy and
one girl 10 weeks old, who are in the
last stages of starvation also see a
little girl years old who is going blind
for the want of attention to her sore
eyes.
John Rylowicz, the father, was sen
fenced to the Bridewell for 11S days
imprisonment on December 28 for get
ting drunk on Christmas day. He has q
wife and eleven children at home, some
of them starving and others destitute
or ordinary wearing apparel Several
of the children in the home have no
other clothing than little calico dress
that only partly conceals their naked
ness. No other clothing whatever, no
shoes or stockings-only poverty and
despair abound in that little habtation.
The father is well fed, warmly clothed
and snugly housed in the Bridewell and
is getting fat on his fare, but what
about these little children, some of
whom are starving to death?
While the city feeds and clothes the
father as a penalty for getting drunk,
who will feed and clothe these starving
children, who are innocent OF any
wrongdoing?

BAR H0PPLES AFTER
1915 IN PACE RACE
National Trotting Association Mem
bers Pass Rule Prohibiting
Its Use for Five
Years Hence

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Beginning
with the season Of 1915, no hopples
shall be used on pacing horses, and
up to that time the device is to be
gradually eliminated. This decision
was adopted by the twenty-fifth con-
gress of the National Trotting asso-
citation today.
"Hopples," says the new rule, "shall
not be used in races or in perform
ances against time on 2-year-olds or
under in 1913; on 6-year-olds or under
in 1914 after which time hopples shall
be barred"
No action was taken by the asso-
citation on the request of the stewards
of the grand circuit that horses shall
be eligible to start on half-mile tracks
i'll classes four seconds slower than
on mile track records. 1t was decided
that trotting associations in Ohio
might join either the National asso-
citation or the American association as
they desired.
Section l of rule was amended as
follows: In all purses five entries
are required and two to start unless
otherwise specified" 1t was also de-
cided that "if only one of the horses
entered for purse shall appear on
the course he shall be entitled to his
own entrance money and to one-half
of the entrance money received from
the other entries for said purse"
Representatives of 3s1 tracks inter
ested in trotting horses on the grand
circuit attended todays meeting.
President p. p. Johnston of Lexington,
KY, presided. Johnston was re-elect-
ed president, and the association ad-
journed until its next biennial session

COWBOYS CHASE DEVIL
ACROSS CATTLE RANGES
Negro Distributing Circulars in Okla
homa Arouses Ire by His
Satanic Equipment

PURCELL, Okla, Feb. 9.-"Back in
the early days when Purcell was the
real thing in border towns and cowboys
disputed with the United States mar
shall as to which was the monarch to
all he surveyed, 1 thought of an ad-
Vertising stunt that would attract at
tention from the crowd of men that
was in town that Christmas day." says
w. B. Walker of the Purcell Register,
one of Oklahoma's pioneer papers.
1--WE printed some circulars advertis-
ing the paper, and then prepared a
very striking DEVILS costume hired a
negro to wear 1t on the street and dis
tribute the bills. We dressed him up
all right, head, horns and tail, sup
plying a tight-fitting cambric suit,
making him look like what he was rep
resenting.
1.-THE negro, boy just grown, was
immensely tickled at the masquerade
at the outset, and strutted down the
steps from our office and crossed the
street to begin work. He had gone but
a few feet down the street when some
cowboys from Lexington (where there
We're about sixteen saloons running)
spied him. They took q good look to
assure themselves that it was not a
specter conjured by the stuff that made
Lexington famous, and then, with one
accord, a half dozen of them took after
him, whooping, yelling and getting
their ropes ready for business. Two or
three of them tried to lasso him, their
ropes falling all around him, but, ow-
ing to the crowded condition of the
streets, also the unsteady seat of the
ropers, none of them managed to catch
him.
LAS soon as he realized what was
happening, with a howl of horror the
boy set off down the street. the cow
boys following at full speed and con-
tinuing their efforts to capture the
strange thing which had attracted
their attention. 1t was fun for the
crowd, but you ought to have seen that

pursuers, get across the street, dart up
an alley and get up the back stairs into
our office, where he wasn't three Sec
onds getting his suit off. Had we pos
sessed the wealth of Rockefeller and
laid the whole at his feet VIC could not
have induced him to make another trip
to the street. When we asked him why
he ran he said:
"'Say. boss. de reason I run was

CLAIMS AMERICAN TIPS
ARE Running EUROPE
Money Craze of This Country Spreads
Abroad, and High Prices for
Everything Result

CHICAGO, Feb. 9-"American trav-
elers in Europe are running the Euro
pean people by the large tips they
are giving" declared Prof. f. G. l..
Van Steenderen of the French and
German departments in a talk before
students of Lake Forest university
yesterday afternoon.
Where but a short time ago the
Frenchman could give a countryman
a tip of sous, the American of today
gives a tip of dollar" he continued.
"The extravaganza Of our people is
going to cause a rise in prices In Eu-
rope, and soon you will have to pay
as much for articles there as in the
United States.
"But the odd part of it is that, al
though we spend large amounts of
money we dress ridiculou-ly While
travelling.
particularly noticeable in this re-
spect are the women, who, as rule,
look like wooden posts compared with
the well-dressed, neat foreigner.
"The American is the most eXtrava-
giant of all people, and always wants
whatever costs the most without re-
gard for the real value. L have known
of cases where they were deliberately
charged more for inferior rooms than
Europeans were for the best suites in
the hotel.

all. The richer class is making it al
most impossible for the poorer Amer
leans to travel abroad on account of
the exorbitant prices charged.
"The Frenchman charges so cents
for the best seat in his theater and
makes money at that. Here we are
charged four times as much. The
Americans are money mad. They are
not content to make a fair profit. They
must get rich Immediately.
"And the worst of it is that our
craze for money is contagious and is
liable to spread all over the world.
"The American woman, when she
travels. really is the laughing stock
of the Europeans on account of the
way she dresses. A long, shapeless
dust coat is topped off by an impos- o;,
she acts on tie principle that no one
knows her and therefore she does not
have to dress up. Perhaps she does
not meet any acquaintances, but she
ought to dress according to the class
she belongs to as an American"

ADVERTISES FOR ALL
WHOM HE HAS WR0NGED
Young Christian Penitent Pays Fl
Cents Conscience Money to
Railroad

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. $50
great is the desire of Charles H. At
kins, who is preparing for the Metho-
dist Episcopal ministry at the Will
mington Conference academy at Do
yer for a clear conscience and peace OF
mind that he has returned Il cents TO
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
and caused this advertisement to ap-
pear in a paper of his home town,
Milton:
ITO whom 1t may concern: I want
any person or persons, man or woman,
who thinks I have wronged them in
any way by lying cheating, stealing or
talking about them in any way that
would hurt their reputation to write
and tell me so, so that l may right this
wrong. want to be honest and square
with all mankind. Yours very truly,
Charles II. Atkins, Wilmington Con-
ference academy, Dover, Del"
Asked if he had ever been guilty of
lying, cheating or stealing, Atkins who
is about 25 years DID, said to the best
of his knowledge he had not sinned,
and he explained his desire to be right
with his fellow men. He says he has
been a Christian for several years, but
that he got an entirely new impression
of religion at a recent revival service
at Dover.
He sought in prayer a revelation of
his full duty in this life, and as he had
often heard his companions make un-
kind remarks about others he was
worried.
Here are some of the things which
Atkins says he did:
Sent 81 cents to the Pennsylvania
Railroad company for a ride for which
he never paid. Received fine letter
from George w. Boyd, general passen-
ger agent.
Paid Philadelphia newspaper a bill
for papers sold during the Spanish
American war. Received a grateful
letter from the paper.
Conferred with Miss Potter of the
academy faculty, and had corrected
some high marks which she had given
him which were not obtained by walk
ing the straight and narrow path.
Wrote to several acquaintances
whom he believed "held aught against
him. and received nice letters from
them.
Sent the advertisement to a Milton
paper.
Atkins says his conscience is pretty
well cleared up but If it should bother
him later he will proceed to right
whatever wrong. in his mind, may ex-
list.

SIGHT OF PRETTY WOMAN
SENDS HIM TO HOSPITAL
Impressionable Man Has PaIpitation
of Heart Every Time Eyes Are
DazzIed by Feminine Beauty

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. AT pre-
cisely forty-flve minutes after 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon Frank
Santo de Angelo saw a pretty girl at
Eighth and Spruce Streets and imme-
diately his heart began to ache.
A minute later the receiving surgeon
at the Pennsylvania hospital was
startled by a wild-eyed man, who
rushed into his. office clutching at his
left breast over the fifth rib.
"Oh! doctor, DOCTOR" he cried. MY
heart! My heart!" And then, gesticu-
lating and shouting in his native
tongue, he fell backward.
1t was not until De Angelo had been
tucked away between the sheets and
had been treated to liberal doses of
digitalis that the hospital attendants
learned they had rare case in their
handsome so rare in fact, that the
last of its kind, previous to the advent
of De Angelo In their midst was in
1851 Frank Santo De Angelo, it was
found, had what the doctors call an ir-
ritable and overaching heart.
The story that De Angelo told the
surgeons of the misery that aching
heart had caused him brought tears
to their eyes. His heart has ben the
bane of his life. With many motions,
he said he wished he had never had
heart. Time and again it has brought
him to grief, and yesterday was not
the first time he has had to ask for
medical relief.
1t seems that De Angeles nature is
most impressionable. He admires all
that is graceful and lovely in feminine
form. He loves to feast his eyes on
beautiful women, and so Strong is this
desire that he sometimes dares the
peril which he knows there is for him.
But every time that he gazes too long,
every time that beauty makes too
deep an impression, his heart goes
pitty-pat, pitty-pat, until there is no
stopping it.
