The unionist amendments,a which have been the sub ject of lengthy debate. covered d5 pages of the parliamentary paper. The bill received a setback on Novem- Der 12 when. in the debate on the fi- nancial provisions the unionists defeated the government in a snap division by a majority of 22 After riotous scenes in parliament an amicable arrangement was reached.

Prince Luitpold was the oldest mon- arch in Europe in point of years. He was born March t2 1921. He was nine years older than Emperor Francis Jo- seph of Austria, who was born Au- gust IS. 1889. The latter has occupied the throne for 64 years. as he became ruler at the age of 1S years, while Prince Luitpold had been regent since June 10. 1886.
 The immediate cause of death was bronchial catarrh, which was aggra- vated by feebleness.
 His son did not reach the palace be- fore the death occurred. from his es- state in Hungaria, from which he de- parted three days ago, when he heard of his fathers critical condition. Prince Luitpold had been compelled to can eel all public engagements for some time but he insisted until the last mo- ment upon receiving the Bavarian cab, inet ministers and his personal suite The death of the aged prince has caused deep and sincere grief through out Europe.

YOUNG GLENDALE
LADY A BRIDE
Miss Ratie Reed Becomes the Bride of
DR.. Combs. Farmers Receive Pay
for Tomato Crops. Gum Lumber in
Demand. Troubles Aired in Court

Going into town about O'Clock Tues
day morning we were surprised to notice
so much activity among the people Men
and women were scurrying about and on
investigation we found that the centre of
attraction was at the home of the late
Senator S. Z. Reed, where an early morn
ing marriage was being solemnized. Miss
Rate Reed, the handsome and noble
young mistress of the house, and young
est daughter of Mrs Mary Reed, was
welded to Dr. Combs. a well known
dentist of Wilmington, Del. by the Rev
Pardee. So sudden and early was the
ceremony that only two persons, Mrs.
Pardee and Miss Southland, a niece of the
groom, were present with the exception
of the immediate family. The happy
young couple took the 80 train OH the
Queen Anne road for an extended south
ern trip. They will make their home on
Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, after the
first of December The presents were
many and extremely beautiful We say
personally that from our intimate ac-
quaintance with the family that no town
of this county ever produced more popu-
lar young lady, or one that was more
loved or will be greater missed than our
happiness for her future life.
William Shannshan came over from
his Maryland home on Saturday and
settled with the farmers who have grown
tomatoes for him. He seemed so liberal
and fair and settled every dispute to suit
the growers, with the result that loud ex
pressions of satisfaction and desire to
open a next years account came from
each grower.
John Horton, of the Milford Lumber
Company, was in town on Tuesday last
buying large quantities of gum timber
tracts from the swamp district. The
timber was paid for as it was purchased.
This season is certainly a fortunate one
for those who have been able to get out
the lumber this year.
On Monday evening our magistrate 5

Vice President James S. Sherman
Hes at his home in Utica, N. Y, in the
shadow of death after a night which
brought not single ray of hope to
the members Of his family or to his
physicians.
The vice president is slowly but
surely losing ground, and death appar-
emily Is a matter of but short time.
The end may come within twenty-four
or fOrty-eight hours or the sufferer
may survive a week, but his case ap-
parently is hopeless and the end, it
would appear, cannot be deferred for
long.
Hypodermic medication has been re-
sorted to by his physicians to ease his
sufferings from the involvment of the
kidneys, which have now failed to per-
form their functions, and as a result
Of the administering. of these quieting
medicines the vice president slept with
very few periods of wskefulness.
Mr Sherman's condition was sum-
med up in a statement made by DR..
F. H. Peck, the vice presidents per
sonal physician. These are DR.. Peck's
words
During the night Mr. Sherman
slept uninterruptedly from II o'clock
until 5 a. m. 1t was a restful sleep
and no opiates were necessary to pro-
duce it. When he woke up he was
perfectly rational and was greatly re-
freshed Later there was a return of
the distressing conditions due to the
failure of the functions of his kidneys
and his condition became desperate.
Subsequently, by means Of hypodermic
medication, he was quieted and be
dropped into a sleep.
"Mr. Sherman's heart action is fair,
but the complications from his kid
neys make his condition aXtremely
critical, because there is grave doubt
If the kidneys will respond to RENE
dial measures. Uraemia is now sapping
the vitality of the vice president, and
have great fear of the outcome. His
condition could hardly be more des-
perate, but / do not apprehend his
death at present"
Dr. Peck is constantly at the bed
side of the patient. and the members
of the vice presidents family, Mrs.
Sherman and her three sons, Sheriff.,
Richard and Thomas, are in the Sher-
man home waiting for the summons to
the sick chamber which they so dread,
but which they realize is inevitable.
No visitors are received beyond rela-
tives or intimate friends and absolute
quiet prevails in the Sherman man

William Shapiro, driver Of the car

driver. Later Aaron Levy. Shapiro s
attorney, was summoned.
"The confession was complete in
every detail" said a member of Mr.
Whitman's staff. Shapiro implicated
the four men. and the statement was
even more positive in detail than Mr.
Whitman expected"

Peace in the heart, meath the white folded palm
Peace dropping down like wondrous balm
From the head to the feet.

How we shall miss her, the beautiful dead,
Who takes the place of the precious one fed
But God knoweth best.
We know He watches the sparrows that fall,
Hears the sad cry of the grieved hearts that call
Friends, husbands children, He loveth them all
We can trust for the REST.
