OF people that have been in the Intel

look up their subscription or to see
about taking the paper. Then, too,
there are the telephone calls OF in

porters OF the various contestants
who by their conversation over the
phone clearly indicated that they are
anxious to share in deciding who will
be the young ladies who will own the
beautiful diamond rings, and who
will also tour Europe as the guests

participants in the contest busy
gathering votes.

Love and Truth. the evangelist stated.
Ihese are thrae OF the highest princi-

count them alias his friends is to be
envied. Friendship is a great thing.
without friendship this old world

Mr.. Sunday then read statistics
showing the remarkable growth OF
the Odd Fellows lodge. On the 31st
OF December. 1911. there was a total
OF 1.622,O00 Odd Fellows in the United
states. Since that time over seven
hundred thousand have Joined the
ranks. bringing the total to over two
million. The reason the church does
not get as many members as the
lodges do is because they don't work
as hard as the lodge men, Mr.. Sunday
said.
During the year OF 1911. the Odd
Fellows paid in assessments amount
ing to SlO.000.OO0, and paid out in sick

MOTHERHOOD

The best mother that ever lived
your own.--Anna Jarvis.
She may be the poorest, the mean,
est Of our kind; but give her her
child in her arms, and her features
assume dignity, a beauty of loves
expression that seems a transfigura,
ton. She may be haggard, wrinkl-
ed, decrepit; but let her only be
seen through her children s eyes
let her but appear to the world with
one Of them beside her-and halo
Of such sanctity invests her as a
saint might wear in the reverence
Of the faithful.
1t is because she is a mother; that
is all. No trappings of wealth, nc
vanities of adornment, not the
widest tumult of any popular ac-
claim, can give to a woman that one
sacred beauty, or even an approach
to it, if nature, or herself, has de-
MED to her the highest office Of her
sex. Her maternity, ravishingly
fair though she may have been in
innocent girlhood, is her crown and
her glory.
1t may be that her ordeal of suf-
fering has lent to her charms a
deeper, more abiding luster, as it
has searched in her nature deeps
that were previously rrnrevealed.
1t may be that within her there
abldes. through veal and woe. the
sublime consciousness that she, at
her appointed stage in the destinies
OF the race, has been the chosen YES
sci for creation s latest miracle in
the evolution of mankind. 1t NAV

quisite mother love that transforms
her humble humanity into some
thing that partakes of the divine.

REPORT FROM NEW
CASTLE COUNTY WORKHOUSE

According to the report submit
ted to the board of trustees of the
workhouse by Chief Warden Craw,
ford at the monthly meeting yes
terday, the average dailv popula-
ton Of the prison during April was
24l. This is far below what the
average population was until few
months ago. The big drop in the
number Of inmates cannot be ac,
counted for by the prison officials.
They say there are just as many
prisoners being sent from the two
lower counties as heretofore, but
they have noticed falling off in
the number sent from New Castle
county and Wilmington.
Until recently there were usually
12o prisoners in the workhouse
serving time for the non-payment
Ipf fines and costs. This class of in
mates has dropped until the present
number is 81. Work being plenti-
full, most of the city court prisoners
who are convicted pay their fines
and costs or have their friends pay
it for them and thereby avoid trip
to the workhouse.
Routine business was only con-
sldered by the trustees yesterday.
In addition to the average daily
population Chief Warden Craw-
ford s report showed the average
daily number employed 22O; manu.
factured during the month, 1896
