UPSHAW SPEAKS
 ID ENSLEY CROWD Urges People to Vote
 Against the Saloon REASON OF COMING
Pays Respects to Governor 0'Neal and Governor Patterson-Police- men Have Easy Nights
 Work-News of Ensley

The Rev. Will D. Upshaw of Geor-
 gia spoke to a fair-sized audience yes-
 terday afternoon at the Franklin theatre.
 He spoke under the auspices of the Ba- raea class of the Baptist church on the
 subject of Blind Tigers. Rattlesnakes and
 Poison"
 The Rev. Upshaw began by stating that
 he came as a free American citizen in the interest of humanity, and that when ever the survival and the welfare of a community was at stake he would al-
 ways come. He said that he had fought
 ''booze" from the state of Maine to Geor- gia and that he intended to fight it every where else.
 He declared if the blind tigers could not be regulated then the saloons could not be and that although he was opposed to liquor in any measure or form he would rather see the dispensary than the sa- looms.
 he told Of how, in his mind, prohibition had prohibited and how the saloons had failed He stated that this question need ed no argument, as it spoke for itself. He said that the blind tigers are not many and that they are just small objection compared with the saloons.
 He stated that he had been criticised for coming to Alabama and hurting the saloonists' cause, but that he had with others, caused the saloonists to send for help. He stated that Governor Patterson of Tennessee was fine member of the Gold Dust twins to join O'Neal. He spoke most bitterly of Patterson. saying that he pardoned murderers, criminals and crooks before they asked to be pardoned and afterwards asked the question if he was not fine example of the saloonists and their advocates?
 He related how a man had decided 70 cast his vote for prohibition for fear that it would be his last, and that he said that he was unable to cast his last vote for the saloons and perhaps face Christ? He urged the men to take this example and to follow his footsteps. He told them io think of the horrible example they were setting to others when they voted for tle saloons and closed by announcing that on Thursday they would win a victory for the homes and for Christ.
 After he had taken his seat he arose and asked those who would vote for pro hibition to rise. Nearly one-half of the house arose. Then after a prayer, ask ing for divine guidance, the meeting ad- journed.

ASKS JUSTICE IN
CEMETERY SUBJECT

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL:
After reading the discussion
which has arisen relative to the col
ored grave yards and Anderson's row,
at Second and Union streets, I have
decided. through your paper. to try
and express my feelings on the sub
ject. I own a lot out there and have
husband and a brother buried in
the cemetery and naturally am inter-
ested in the welfare OF the burial
grounds. I want 10 talk as feel and
certainly do not agree with the peo-
pie who want these bodies taken up
and carted away. Let the people who
favor this move think how they would
feel If their flesh and blood was to be
carted around. ] am not trying to be
obstinate but | am asking that right
be done the colored people. Now
would suggest that the trustees of
the graveyards call a meeting of LOT
owners and have them agree to get a
contractor 10 put the yards in good
shape.
hope these few words will help the
cause and also help the colored peo-
pie TO act like men and gentlemen
I would ask for fair and square con-
sideration Of the whole subject. Let
all Of us who are interested join hands
and do something to help ourselves
and the city. hope that all viii
mington people may read this and
help us in a just manner.

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

T is now expected that the Legislature will settle

The Missing.

New York World.
Twelve persons a day on an average
are reported to the police as missing
IN New York. more than half Of whom
are not heard of again. They leave the
house on an errand or walk around
the corner and are swallowed up by
the sea Of humanity as completely as
Is a pebble cast into a pool. Some no
doubt could be found among the un-
identified dead in tunnel explosions or
theatre or factory fires both in this
and in other cities.
But for the most part they run away

conditions and live out their natural
lives. just enough returning to the old

Husbands who desert their wives

BRIGHTEN MARKET STREET.

HE merchants OF the city had taste OF
Il brighter Market street about the Christmas
holidays and they liked it. The people also were
pleased. 1t is gratifying therefore. TO note that
a permanent brighter Market street is assured,
or nearly so, judging by the manner in which the
merchants are taking hold of the matter.
That was fine meeting of merchants the other
evening in response to the invitation of the Mer-
camille Association.
The Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany is disposed to cooperate with the merchants
and Mr.. Crosby, the live head Of the company,
made some suggestions worthy OF consideration
1t is not necessary TO follow the New York plan
Of lighting or that of any other city. With his
wide experience, Mr. Crosby is enabled to suggest
hints for more artistic lighting than some other
cities have.
The Wilmington City Gas Company is also in
terested and is prepared to do artistic lighting
with gas. Its claims should be considered
Colonel Sparks, representing the Street and
Sewer Department, expressed hearty sympathy
with the movement. but showed that the depart
nent has not great amount of funds and its ex-
penses must be limited. If the Department could
afford to do 1t, the lighting problem could be
easily settled by the city bearing the entire sx
pense.
The important point so far however, is the fact
that the merchants are deeply interested in better
lighting and much good is certain TO come of the
meeting. Market street. we feel certain will at
not distant day be brilliantly and artistically il
Illuminated as il should be.

Chesapeake Oysters.

We do not necessarily gloat over the
fact that the best oysters in creation
the only aysters, in fact. worth eat-
ing--are found in the Chesapeake. We
accept this fact calmly and thank
fully as an evidence of Natures in

the fact that the climate of Maryland

that the mint of Maryland is the most
fragrant in the world and the fact that
the girls of Maryland are the most
beautiful in the world.
But when persons eager for apt
plause spring into the arena with
Outrageous mussels in their hands and

tinction in the battle OF Manila Bay,
in which he took a prominent part
under Admiral Dewey and received
the Dewey medal, as did all others
who participated in that memorable
fight. His valor on the battlefield
may be said to be an inheritance. for
his father. Captain John Biddle,
served with distinction in the Civil
War. Colonel Biddle was appointed
o Lieutenant OF marines by President
Grant In 1875 and for the meritorious
performance Of his duty was promot-
ed 10 a captaincy. His advancement
to the rank of major took place when

BOOM IN A MARYLAND TOWN.

HE town of Ridgey, in Caroline county, Mo,
Il is enjoying a healthy BOOM Ii is located
in that part of the Eastern Shore which has made
greas progress during the last decade Fortu-
nately settlers came from other States. They
bought land cheap and improved IT, Land has
taken a great jump in value, chiefly as the result
OF their efforts 1t is said that the country about
Ridgely is now one of the most prosperous regions
along the Eastern Shore.
Recently Armour and Company decided TO locate
a preserving plant at Ridgey and 600 men, women
and children will be employed during the straw
berry season The coming Of the Armours has
stimulated all lines of trade and industry and
means the spending of considerable money in the
community
The local businessmen gave FIVE acres Of land
TO the company for the erection of the plant
Sixty dwellings for aborers also to be built
They are to be modern dwellings. Each will have
a living room, and kitchen on the first floor and
sleeping quarters on the second floor with shower
baths.
White and coored people will live separate
streets with separate Fairgrounds for children.
Five-year contracts for berries have been made
with growers at FIVE cents quart One hundred
of backberries have also been contracted for.
1t is said that women and children working as
cappers during the berry season can earn $3.50
a day and that all classes of labor will be highly
paid
portant center of their operations in preserving
fruits and in extracting fruit juices for the Amer
ican soda fountain trade. They think the soil
about Ridgely is we'll adapted for fruit.
AS said the result of this Improvement has
been TO advance the price of land. Useless sedge
fields of 40 years ago have increased TO the value
of $40 an acre. Good fruit and truck land near
the town is now worth from $l25 to $3.50 an acre
There is a lesson for Delaware towns in the ex-
perience of Ridgey. There has been much devel-
opment in Sussex county similar to that about
Rdgely and Kent county is becoming famous for
her apples. There is no good reason why the entire
peninsula especially Delaware, should not be like
what the territory about Rdgely is becoming We
have the opportunities at our door,
The development of lower Delaware has not
really started What we need is a strong, aggres-
sve State Board of Agriculture, or some other
organization TO labor for the advancement of Della
ware as garden spot There is no other part
of the United States better adapted for fruit and

LIQUOR FIGHT IN OHIO.

HE liquor license question has arisen in Ohio
to plague Governor Harmon. Since the
Democratic victory the so-cslled liberal or liquor
element has renewed its attack on the Rose local
option law which gives to counties regardless of
cities the right 10 vote out the saloons
Through the operation of the law about sixty
8ve counties including cities have voted out the
saloons 1t is now proposed 10 change the law so
that the municipalities and rural regions shall vote
separately on the question. This, il would SEEM
is the most satisfactory method
The question that dsturbs Ohio was avoided in
Delaware by making Wilmington district separ-
ate from rural New Castle, although had the
county plan been followed the result in this county
would not have been altered, as rural New Castle
county has twice voted wet" But il is possible
for rural New Castle TO decide the ques-
ton regardless of Wilmington. and Wilmington
is not hampered by the farmer vote" II is the
farmer vote" so-called, that has made many of
the Ohio counties which have cities of considerable
size 60 dry"
