DELAWARE P. 0, S, OF A.
HAS STATE CONVENTION
CLAYTON, CHESWOLD, LEIPSIC
AND KENTON REPRESENTED
CheswoId Gets the Vice President of
the State Camp and Leipsic the
State Master of Forms

The sixth annual convention of the
State Camp of Delaware, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, was held in
P. o. S. of A hall, No. 81 Shipley
street, Wilmington Tuesday, August
30th. Clayton, Kenton, Hartly and
Leipsic were all represented. The
convention was called to order
promptly at 10 o'clock and an open
session was held from 10 o'clock to
1890 o'clock. President of City
Council James L. Banning delivered
an address of welcome. An impor-
tant suggestion was made made by
President Banning during his address
and that was that the P. o. S. of A.
take steps relative to having me-
mortal to Caesar Rodney, Delaware's S
signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, placed in Independence
Hall, Philadelphia. Mr.. Banning
spoke of the lack of authentic por-
traits of Caesar Rodney and thought
it would be a good plan to have a
memorial suitably inscribed placed
in position.
Statistical and Financial Report
Reports were submitted during
the morning. Thomas F. Dunn, State
Secretary, reported that although
we have not gained any new Camp,
not one has surrendered its charter,
and we present solid front with "a
active working Camps, having a
topal membership of 1915. The
grim destroyer death has called from
our ranks eight brothers since our
last session. The affairs of the
State Camp have been managed in a
most economical manner and after
paying all bills in full to date there
is a cash balance in our treasury OF

GOOD EVENING!

Yes, it's some warmer to-day,
thank you! When we left the hO-
tel this morning to go to business
the thermometer registered twenty
eight degrees above zero. Last
night there was a big circle around
the moon, and that is sure enough
sign that we're going to have a
storm. BY the way, Dame Rumor
has it that there was quite "squal-
ly time" in one of the newspaper Of
fees recently. But then!--
'I'll swear on a stack of Bibles as
high as The Independent Office that
what say is true" remarked citi-
zen who was slightly inebriated, on
Main street last evening. We don't
know whether that would be a good
way to take the oath or not. How
about it, BROTHER BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN HAINES?

The Work of a Woman.

Whatever may be the opinion of
the world at large upon the doctrines
inculcated by the church of which
she was the founder, it is question
whether Mary Baker G. Eddy in
building up this organization of half
a million fervently loyal adherents
has not outdone the achievement of
any other woman who ever lived.
There has been many a woman who
led her soul, her cause, her clan, |"
to the accomplishment of great
humanitarian undertaking - who
notably contributed to the promotion
of temperance, to the amelioration of
the lot of slaves or prisoners, to the
effectiveness of missionary labor in
the domestic or the foreign field, or
to the alieviatory ministration to in
Valids in hospitals in war time or in
times of peace. The world has quite
recently been called upon to mourn
the passing of two such women
Florence Nightingale and Julia Ward
Howe, both of whom were of ap-
proXimately the age of Mrs. Eddy
when they obeyed the summons of
the invisible. But Mrs. Eddy was
more than philanthropist and hui
manitarian. She was a born leader
of men and women, who to personal
magnetism united extraordinary exc
cutive ability. She had shrewd busi-
ness acumen, and Joan of Arc was
not her equal as a commanding gen
eral.
Her followers have never cared to
criticise her writings in respect to
syntax and style; to them Science
and Health" has been not so much
book as the shrine of a great truth.
But merely the enunciation of alb
stract principles could not have built
up such a worldwide and all-preva-
siye religion, or eXerted such a con-
trolling influence upon so many hun
dreds of thousands of persons.
To create such a church and to in
spire a following so numerous and so
devoted Mrs. Eddy must have been a
woman of altogether extraordinary
personal endowments. Other leaders
like Dowie-have depended upon
oratory and histrionic effects to main
tain their ascendency. Mrs. Eddy in
latter years was secluded and mae
cessible. Yet Zionism and similar
mushroom manifestations of the re-
ligious instinct have scarcely outlived
the personal leadership of their
founders, while Christian Science
gives every indication of continuing
to flourish and to enroll multitudes
under the banners of it's remarkably
successful propaganda in the name of
an infirm and aged woman in a New
Hampshire town.-Philadelph Ledy
ger.

GOOD MORNINGS!

MARY, l say Mary, do hurry up!

"AII right, Ma, I'm coming"
MA, I'm a going to enter the Ber-
mudy contest" said Mary to her
mother, when she returned late the
same evening with flushed and
happy face from a visit with her
Father to the Contest Manager of

Uses For Old Newspapers.

From the Christian Science Moni-
tor the following is taken: Wet in
water old newspapers clean out the
stove splendidly.
Crushed newspapers are excellent
TO clean lamp chimneys.
To wrap furs and woolens in for
the summer they are good.
They can even be used as an iron
holder for an emergency.
Newspapers dipped in lamp oil
are useful for cleaning windows.
Irons not much soiled can be
rubbed on old newspapers and thus
made fit for use.
There is nothing better for using
under carpets than old newspapers,
as moths do not like printers ink.
Dipped in lamp oil they are splen-
did to rub the outside of the dish
pan. They keep it bright and shin
ing.
They clean the sink of it's grease
and sediment; nothing is better, for
the greasy paper can be at once
burned after use.
Many times folded they will serve
as mat to stand hot and blackened
pots and kettles on and thus save
soiling the kitchen table.
The kitchen stove is kept bright
and clean by rubbing it briskly af-
ter the cooking of each meal with
old papers and this saves many
polishings.

Kissed by breezes that o'er them

Spreading their sanity blossoms

While down in the crevices, in be-

Fair as in Eden's bowers of old,
Nestle the beds of blossoms rare,-
Sweet is the nectar that they hold.

Indigestion Goes
G. w. Peil Sells Best Prescrip-
ton on the Money Back
Plan.

Almost everybody knows that sick
headache, nervousness and dizziness,
are caused by disordered stomach.
Upset stomach and indigestion hap
pen just because the food you eat
does not digest-but lies in the
stomach and ferments or turns sour.
You can stop fermentation and
stomach distress in five minutes by
using MI-O-NA stomach tablets, a
prescription that has done more to
cure Indigestion and put the stom-
ach in fine condition than all the
specialists on earth.
A large so cent box of MI-O-NA
stomach tablets is all you need to
get quick and lasting relief. G. w.
Peil guarantees them.
Mrs. Attic Etson, of 93 Dun Road,
Battle Greek, Mich, used MI-O-NA
and within two months was in
as good health as ever, and has a
strong stomach and eats anything
she likes. She attributes her good
health to MI-O-NA.
If you have heartburn, belching of
gas, heaViness or any stomach
trouble no matter how chronic, try
MI-O-NA stomach tablets on money
back plan. Sold by G. w. Peil and
leading druggists everywhere.

stances the. Washington Herald says:
The Negro does not know by in
heritance or early training how to
care for himself, either as to temper
ature or sanitation. He still needs
supervision and instruction, even COM
pulsory, in such affairs of self-preser-
vaticn.'
The foregoing is true in reference
to large fraction of the race, Just as
1t is true of a very large number of
both races. So far as the North is
concerned, there is very little differ
ence in the intelligence or mode of
living CT members of the two races, if
we compare individuals of about equal
means OF living. 1t would be hard to
lind, in any part of the United States,
any Afro-Americans who need super
vision and instruction as to sanitary
matters so badly as the miners in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cording to the testimony Of credible
witnesses, the miners live in condi-
ton of utter disregard of the rules of
decency or hygiene. The case of the
Afro-American is not a peculiar one;

CONDITIONS IN AMERICA AND
RUSSIA SIMILAR.


In 1887 the Russian Minister of the
Interior issued the following order:
1.-The gymnasiums, high schools and
universities will henceforth refuse to
receive as pupils or students the chill
dren of domestic servants, peasants,
tradesmen, petty shop keepers, farm
ers and others of like conditions,
whose progeny should not be raised
from the circle to which they belong
and be thereby led to become dis
contented with their lot, and irritable
against the inevitable inequalities of
the existing social pisitions.'
We think that our readers will ad-
init that the foregoing is as terse
and emphatic as if it had been COM
posed in Mississippi. In fact the
Mississippi legislature could readily
adapt it for domestic use by simply
substituting ''Afro-American" for the
names of classes mentioned. More
over American Bishops and Senators
have given utterance to similar senti-
ments. Indeed there seems to be in
the United States an evident trend to
the opinion that the republican form
Of government is failure.

being worked out of as broad recogni-
ton of that race in federal appoint
mentS as possible.
The man who is to secure the high
est honor ever given to the Afro
American in federal appointments is
William H. Lewis, who is now assist
ant United States attorney at Bos-
ton., If the program goes through, as
now arranged, Lewis is to be appoint
ed assistant attorney general of the
United States to fill one of the va
cancles existing at the Department
of Justice.
Lewis has been assistant attorney
at Boston for eight or ten years and
has an admirable record as d lawyer
and legal representative of the gov
eminent. He is a graduate OF both
Amherst and Harvard Colleges. At
Amherst he was the captain of the
1ootball team and at Harvard he was
the most noted center rush that in
stitution ever knew.
AS assistant attorney general of the
ted States it will be necessary to
assign him to some of the most i'm
portant legal work of the government.
and he will come in frequent contact
with senators, representatives and
others having business with the de-
partment.

VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT.

We are on the eve of a most i'm

election of Democratic House this
year the injury to the country in gen
eral would be great and to the Afro
American it would be a calamity.
We wish to continue to enjoy the
good times We now have, and the
only way to be assured that pros
perity will continue is to stand by
the Republican party We should not
try any experiments or indulge any
petty spite, as every vote is needed,
and where any one fails to vote for
the Republican candidate that is
equivalent to half vote for the op-
position. This is an important mat
ter, especially in some of the close
Congressional districts, for it is neces-
sary to have Republican Congress
to uphold a Republican President.
1t is possible that some objection
able men may be on the ticket in GER
tain localities, but there is so much at
stake this time that they should be
overlooked. Do not take any chances
by voting a split ballot.
