ANTI-TuRERCULOSIs CAR HERE
Arrived Monday and Is Being Visited
By Many Smyrna People.

The car of the State tuberculosis
Commission with its exhibit arrived
in Smyrna on Monday, having just
finished a five days stop in Clayton.
1t is on the siding at the railroad
station and is open to all, both dur
ing the day and evening. Mr.. Ellis,
who is in attendane to explain every
thing of interest, reports gratifying
number of visitors. The car carries
its own dynamo and is lighted at
night by electricity of its own man
ufacture. 1t will be here for some
days and Friday will be set apart
for the colored people. There are
only three of these cars in the
United States. They belong to Mass
achusetts, New York and Delaware,
a fact which speaks well for the en-
terprise of our little State. The
Anti tuberculosis Crusade however,
is being carried on all over the
country and hopes are entertained
that in another twenty-five years the
disease will be practically stamped
out.

sPRUANCE A MARRYING MAYOR
Smyrna Boy Now an Executive of VIII
mirgton, Performs 1856 Marriages.

Mayor J Harvey Spiuance, Of
Wilmington, a Smyrn boy, son of
the late Edward Spruance, will not
complete year in his present Office
until the Both day of next month.
Heving been in office scarcely IL
months up to the present time he has
officiated at 155 marriages, which is
believed to be the largest number
ever performed by mayor of Will
mington in year. This is an indi-
cation that the custom, on the part
of non-residents, of coming to Will
mington to be marrie1, is GROWING
The mayor of Wilmington is, the OH
official in the State authorized to
perform a marriage ceremony. All
ministers have that authority, how
ever, as has also any person designa-
ted as the leader of a religious con-
gregation. Some young people go
to Wilmington expecting to be mar
ried by magistrate, as magistrates
have the authority in some States,
and they are disappointed when they
learn that they nut 60 to the mayor
o. some minister.

Under Archdeacon George c. Hall
Rev. Charles H. Holmead, who
has been considering a call to become
the curate and assistant to Arch
deacon Hall of st Johns Church,
Wilmington, ordered a special ses-
sion of the Vestry Monday evening
at which time he formally rendered
his resignation as rector of this Par
ish to take effect June Both. Messrs.
Charles H. LeFevre, w. G. Hill and
Eugene Davis were appointed com
mittee to draft a suitable set of res
olutions expressing regret at losing
the faithful and efficient services of
so kindly and popular rector. There
were many who hoped that Mr.. Hol-
mead would reconsider and remain in
Smyrna but even an inducement and
raise in salary would not keep him.
He expressed his preference for city
work and felt that a greater field for
work and usefulness awaited him in
Wilmington. All through Sunday
many expressions of regret were
uttered and services were well at
tended. Rector Holmead came to
Smyrna a little over a wear ago and
has become popular with many people
throughout the town as we'll as his
own Parish.

MANY WITNESS MOON ECLIPSE
Smyrnians Watch Performance With
More Pleasure Than HaIleY's Comet

Smyrnians Watch Performance With
More Pleasure Than Halley's Comet
AS a celestial exhibition the total
eclipse of the moon Monday night
had the performance of Halley's
comet beaten many blocks. In the
first place, the eclipse was on schedule
time. and in the second place the
view was exceptionally fine, which
is more than can be said Of the comet.
A feature in conection with the
celestial exhibition was that it was
of longer duration than the one of
November, and, as these lunar eclipses
are rot so frequent as those of the
sun, those who remained out of bed
for the purpose of witnessing the
eclipse did not have near so much
cause for kicks as they did last
Wednesday night when the earth is
supposed to have passed through the
comets tail. The moon was punctual
in entering the shadow of the earth,
it being on the scheduled time of 10. 45
O'Clock. The total eclipse began at
eight minutes past midnight. At II. 5S
O'Clock the next morning the total
eclipse ended, and the moon left the
shadow at 2.2l a. m.

NO ANTHRAX CASES DEVELOPED
Scare in White Hall and Dutch Neck
Was All a Boogaboo.

The anthrax scare which broke out
in Dutch and White Hall Necks last
week seems to be without foundation
and is being contradicted by the State
authorities. DR.. Charles F. Daw-
son State bacterologist and veterina-
rian, notified DR.. j. r. Kuhns Oe
Dover that neither the Cary cow,
found dead on the marsh of 7. B.
Reynolds, nor the Jordan Slaughter
sheep, the blood of which was care
fully examined and tested. showed
any signs of anthrax. The quaran-
tine of the Dutch and White Hall
Neck farmers has, therefore, been
lifted.

SMYRNA SEEMS ASSURED
OF A FEDERAL BUILDING
BILL APPROPRIATING S25. .oooRE-
PORTED FAVoRABLY TO SENATE
No Doubt But What 1t Will Be Rushed
Through Congress and Money
Available in JuIy.-Dupont Fight

Available in Juy.-Duponts Fight
Former Congressman Walter o.
Hoffecker and Postmaster Thomas
Jefferson have received official notice
from Delaware's representatives in
Congress that the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds has reported
favorsbly to the Senate bill appro-
priating $25, 900 for Federal Build
ing for Smyrna. The announc4 ment
has caused general rejoicing in
Smyrna. The appropriation was Sc
cured after hard fight by Senator
DUPONT who is member of the COM
ittee. The original bill as presented
by Senator Richardson called for an
appropriation of $40, 900 and for a
time it looked as if Smyrna would
get nothing from this Congress. In
the meantime Lewes loomed up and on
the plea that it needed a custom and
Life Saving Station Office in connec-
tien with a Dostoffice, strings were
being pulled to side track Smyrna
and give the Sussex town the right
of way. The people of Smyrna would
not agree to this and took a de
termined stand in asserting it's
rights, claiming that it had already
stepped aside to allow Wilmington an
additional appropriation for its Fed
eral Building, and was rightfully
/ first in line for consideration.
Former Congressman Hoffecker Active
Ex-congressman Hoffecker took the
matter up personally with Senators
Dupont and Richardson and Repre-
sentative Heald. Other pressure was
being brought to bear and Senator
DUPONT being a member of the COM
mittee in whose hands it had to be
reported back favorably to the Sen
ate, finally had the matter cOmprom-
ised by agreeing to accept $25, 900 tC
allowSmyrna to get even consideration
at this Congress. AS a matter of fact
only total of $3.50, 600 was allowed
for Federal Buildings and Smyrna
was the smallest and only one Of
seven places considered favorably
Senator Richardson left for Washing
ton Monday and said he would fgh
to get the appropriation through
Congress at this session. Senate
Dupont and Senator Richardson
, both feel that the bill will pas
: without any trouble and if it doe
the money will probably be availabl
sometime in July when steps will b
taken to locate a site for the neV
, building.
