that hers was heart of courage, not

And how could hope to serve her?
What would this crew of hell-hounds,
these merciless sea-wolves, permit me
to do? Trans-ship them upon some
passing vessel? Put into some iso-

utter impossibility of keeping those
two concealed below for any length of
time was clearly evident Ship life was
far too restricted. Both Tuttle and
De Nova would naturally expect to
lodge aft, and it was a privilege they
could not easily be denied. Yet what
would they say, how would they act,
when they finally discovered these two
unwilling passengers aboard? What
was my duty in all the circumstances?

Three shadows suddenly darkened

Sudden Death of Mr.. Carey.

While at prayer at the opening of the
Sunday School services in the old
Southern NJ. E. Church in Bishopville
last Sunday morning, the Superintend-
ent, Mr.. Adolphus Carey, was sum-
moned to his Maker.
II was thought at first that Mr.. Carey
had simply tainted. but all efforts to re-
store him to consciousness were without
avail, and before medical assistance
could be secured he was dead.
Mr.. Carey was IS years old. He was
a conscientious Christian gentleman and
was so regarded by his friends and
neighbors. He was prosperous farmer
who took great pride in enriching his
land and caring for his livestock. Mr..
Carey was a lifelong Democrat and
was always proud of the successes of
his party. He is survived by two sis
tiers: Mrs. Charles B. Birmingham. of
Berlin, and Mrs. J. K. Jones, of Ocean
City.

Miss Farr In Snow Hill.

The Maryland State Library commits
sion of which DIR. NJ. Bates Stephens is
president, was organized by an act of
the Legislature in 1902 to further library
interests in the State and to interest the
people with good reading. For this pur-
pose they engaged Miss Mary P. Farr, a
graduate Of the DrexeI Institute Library
school. to make a complete tour of the
State. She is in Snow Hill this week at
the home of Mrs. Clayton Purnell and
will be pleased to see anyone interested
in the work of the commission. In
many of the towns she has visited she
has set movements on foot toward the
establishment of free public library.
She has visited the small towns and
villages to interest them in the travel
ing libraries, which the State will lend
to any community upon application of
three responsible citizens. The State
owns ninety-one Of these libraries. ten
Of which deal with special subjects,
namely, two on Nature, two on United
States History, three on Pedagogy, one
on Maryland State History, one on Agri-
culture. and another on Farm Animals.
The others are miscellaneous collections
of books suitable for all classes of read
ers containing half carefully selected
works of fiction, and the other half mis-
cellaneous books of travel, history, BIZ
ography, etc. These books are TO be
used in each town as free circulating
library and may be kept four months.
A fee Of fifty cents is required for each
case and the State pays the transpor-
tation charges each way.
Any blind person in the State of Mary
land may borrow free Of charge books
in the New York Point and Line letters,
and the United States Government
grants free postage on all such books.
A catalogue of the books for the blind
will be sent upon request. The COM
mission makes its headquarters at the
Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore
City.
At present the State appropriates
only 81. 200 annually for this good work.
but it is hoped at the present session Of
the Legislature an increased appropri-
alton may be granted.

FROM BERLIN AND NEAR BY

The temperance conference held Tues
day, was considered the most important
event in the history Of temperance since
the election two years ago. Every dis
trict in the county was represented and
heard from in the discussion, which in
the afternoon was free for all. Mr..
Leonard Wales, Of Salisbury, addressed
large meeting in the evening on Law
Enforcement" Hon. Robley Jones was
not able to be present, but letter from
him was read. A Law and Order Society
was organized with Hon. Orlando Har-
rison chairman, Horace Davis treasurer,
and AL. Powell. secretary, with Coun-
ty Executive Committee Of twenty
seven members three from each cleo
ton district. The ladies Of the W. C.
T. U. entertained at supper l26 guests.
The inspiration and enthusiasm of this
meeting makes il a momentous one.
The message was clear and the fruits
will be abundant. II was like religious

Our good people expressed much dis
satisfaction last Sunday. when the rail-
road powers selected that day to cinder
their roadbeds. The sound of the en-
gines, ETC., broke the usual Sabbath
stiffness most of the day. and the various

William ]. Maxwell Dead.

Postofiice Inspector William J. Max
well. who is widely known in Snow Hill
and throughout the Peninsula, died in
Wilmington Friday, aged 81 years. Mr..
Maxwell was frequent visitor to Snow
Hill.
During his many years as postofiice
inspector Mr. Maxwell had run down
many offenders against the postal laws.
and he was remarkably well fitted for
his duties. Probably one of his most
important pieces of work was that
relative to the Cuban postal frauds.
He had pleasing personality and had
friends in many walks of life.
He never fully recovered from a
severe cold which he contracted in
March of last year. from which he was
i'll for some time. though he was able
to look after his duties.

Ran Trains Over The Ice

The recent cold waves have recalled to
the older residents the time when the ice
on the Susquehanna River was so thick
that the only means Of getting the trains
Of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Bal
timore Railroad across at Perryville
was to lay rails on the ice and run trains
over them. This actually was done just
SIS years ago Saturday. The river was
frozen so that it was impossible to ferry
the trains across the river. the method
then employed, SO on January 18th. a
track was laid on the ice and from that
time to the latter part of February this
was used.
The cars were taken over one by one,
and, even though they were of consid-
cradle weight. not a single person was
injured nor was any damage done to
property. There were 1878 cars taken
across during the great freeze, some
carrying passengers and some filled with
freight. and many persons took the trip
simply for the experience.
During the present week there has
been horse racing across the ice between
the Cecil and Hartford County shores, at
about the same place where the tracks
for the railroad were laid.
