haste to the church where devotion
keeps them waiting from Good Friday
until Saturday afternoon, when the
Patriarch with unlighted torch enters
the gloom of the sepulcher.
They watch with bated breath for
his return. No light fiickers in the
darkness, then suddenly a blaze
flames up, the torch is on fire and
with a shout of thanksgiving the null
titude breaks into singing a glorious
hymn of thanksgiving. Those nearest
the altar eagerly snatch fire from the
torch, candle after candle is lighted
until every taper in the church is
burning. The worshipers rise, the
gloom is dispelled, and they go forth
into TIE gray of the morning greeting
one another, Christ is arisen!" meet
ing the reply, "He is arisen indeed"
Ceremonies at Rome.
The festal ceremonies at Rome are
most splendid. The Pope ofIiciates at
mass on that day and st. Peters is
filed with cardinals, prelates, and dig
nitaries from all parts of the world.
The day is ushered in by firing can
non from the Castle of st. Angelo.
The magnificent basilica is richly
decorated, altars are newly ornament
ed. the lights around st. Peters tomb
are burning, and the Pope is seated
in his chair Of state in vestments
ablaze with gold.
Beautiful Easter Carols.
Easter carols are sung in all Chris
tian lands. Some Of the most beauti-
full are those from the Tyrol, where
singers go from house to house. Spain
gives way to joy in fetes, and gifts are
made to the Virgin, who is adorned
with her best robes and jewels at this
time. Russians enjoy a gift tree,
like our Christmas tree, while jew
eled Easter eggs are exchanged in
the imperial household.
There is a mystery about the orr
gin of the Easter rabbit Of Germany.

on the White House grounds in Wash
ington. In some places doves are lib
Grated at Easter, and it is quite gen.
eral to fill Easter baskets with flow
ers, or cakes, and to make visits to
renew good will among friends.
A great deal Of beautiful music has
been written for the Easter services,
which have become elaborate occa-
sions in the churches. Many carols
that are sung have been handed down
by tradition and repeated from father
to son. They frequently tell the New
Testament story of the first Christian
Easter morning when Christ rose
from the tomb, and gave all human be-
ings faith in Immortality.

In the first days of human history
the cave man rubbed dry sticks to-
gether to steal fire from the sun.
When the spring melted the ice of
winter, he bowed more profoundly to
the great luminary in the sky as it
appeared in the east, and later when
he built his affairs he renewed the
fires when the sun turned northward.
The word Easter is from the Saxon
"Eostre," the name of the goddess Of
spring "Eoster" lived in the east
with the rising sun. She was the
most gentle of all the deities of the
pagan world AS she tripped across
the meadows the grass came out, the

and the fury of the holy fire! Robert
Hichens says in the Century. All
hearts were excited to frenzy by the
holy fire. The Easter morning pro-
cession moved hundreds to tears,
held them tensely silent. Instead Of
the blue dome, spangled with artifi-
cial stars, faint blue sky was over
our heads. Instead Of the glare Of
the torches, the sunbeams fell mildly
upon us. Instead of the yelling multi
tudes, we heard the sound Of the won
derful bells. They began to peal forth
just before the procession entered the
court from the city.
Down below me saw tears stream
ing over the scanned faces Of many
Russians as they signed themselves,
kissed one another, told one another,
"Christ is risen!" answering to the
triumphant proclamation of the bells,
which, unwearied, reiterated their
marvellous message to the children Of
men. And the canvasses in blue and
red and gold came slowly into the
court, and a man carrying the cross,
and boys in red and gold with swing
ing lamps on chains, and many priests
in black. And there followed a priest
with his arms full Of flowers, and be-
hind him another bearing on high the
risen Christ crowned with a halo Of
gold and framed in glory Of bios
SONS.
Then there rose from the thousands
of pilgrims a cry of sweet exulta-
tion, and the bells seemed to grow
louder as they told Jerusalem that the
marble house was empty, that the
stone had been rolled away. The
bishops appeared in pale yellow, pearl
color and gold, all holding lighted
candles. And last of all came Dam
ianos, bearing staff and a jeweled
picture of the risen Christ. The pro-
cession stopped. The bells were 81.
lent. There was pause. Then the
patriarch took a step forward, gazed
at the immense crowd Of adoring pill
grims, lifted the jeweled picture Of
Christ, held it out toward them and
said, "Christ is risen"
AS his voice died away the priest
with the flowers raised his arms and
showered blossoms over the crowd;
the bells pealed forth again; the pro
cession moved on and the pilgrims,
eagerly lighting their candles and en-
bracing one another, closed in behind,
crying, "Christ is risen! Christ is
risen!"
And so into the darkness of the
great church, quietly, softly, the pro-
cession gradually vanished. The gloom
was lit up by the candles Of priests
and pilgrims Through the doorway
] saw Damianos in his gorgeous vest
ments sink humbly down to kiss the
stone of unction. Then the Russians,
weeping with Joy, moved forward and
hid him from my sight.

nessee, who was present, appealed in
vain. Johnston then rode out on his
magnificent thoroughbred charger,
Fire Eater, spoke a few words OF en-
couragement to the halting Tennes-
seeans and said, Il will lead you" At
this signal two whole brigades rushed
across the field, shouting wildly as
they met the storm of lead from the
crest The charge went home The
enemy turned and retreated. One of
the straying bullets fired in retreat
struck Johnston, and in an hour he
was dead. But the hill, the Hornets
Nest" had fallen. Prentiss was cut
off from help; likewise part Of w. II.
L. Wallace's line.
The Confederates say that the stub
born fighting of Prentiss after he had
been flanked by the loss Of the "Hor-
nets Nest" saved Grants army. There
was a lull in the attack after Johnston
fell, and General BraXton Bragg re-
opened the fight by falling upon Prem
tiss and Wallace with his Confederate
corps. These two generals fought
Bragg until the case seemed hopeless,
and then Wallace led his men back in
an attempt to cut his way TO the Land
ing. He was killed, and Prentiss,
finding himself alone and hopelessly
beset, surrendered his whole command.

Lite and Light, our Risen
{ Saviour and Helper evermore,
we bless Thee for the perfect
. and precious hope impaired to
sinful humanity through Thy
atoning sacrifice and resurrec-
tion. Supreme above all meas
ure OF earthly mind the love
which brought Thee from the
Throne OF God TO walk among
men, bearing their burden of
sin along the Sorrowful Way,
and leading them upward to
the glory OF everlasting life
and JOY in the Fathers home.
Grant at this blessed Easter
tide that all darkened and
troubled hearts may open TO
the light of the great Easter
truth and wake to newness OF
life in Thee. Perfect in all
Thy children the inspiring
hope OF Thy risen life, that
they that are risen indeed with
Thee may seek steadfastly
those things which are above.
Continue in all hearts the
cheer and strength and courage
impaired by the Easter message
and bring all to a saving ac-
ceptance of eternal life through
Christ our Lord.

POTATOES BRING BIG PRICE
One Virginia Farmer Sells a Thousand
Barrels at So a Barrel

Over 400 cars of white potatoes
passed through Delmar over the lines
of the New York, Philadelphia &
Norfolk and the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads of last Sunday week, and ar
rangements were made to handle
double that amount or 800 carloads
last Sunday. Very few of these
potatoes are being shipped from this
side of the bay, most of them COM
ing from the Carolinas and the
southern part of Virginia. The crop
this year is stated by the farmers as
being the largest in history and
there will he many enriched bank
accounts by the farmers. or, at
least such is anticipated. One
famer at Wierwood, Va, a few
miles south of Delmar, sold 1000
barrel few days ago for SIS per
barrel, and while this will not be
the normal price, although the price
below it will no doubt bring the
expected compensation. The farm
ers in this vicinity are earning
that they can get more for their
potatoes by planting them a little
late, or after the Southern crop is
exhausted, and most of them, who
heretofore had a very early crop,
have not yet begun to dig them up
!, !. End Ind new besttatoes are being shipped
here from Southern points: httss----FFAe The
crop across the bay will be very
low by the middle of next week,
and with the Delaware and Mary
land farmers just beginning to dig
theirs, will keep the market from
being glutted and will aid ma
terially in keeping the price at g
good figure.

TWO UNITED STATES
AIRMEN PLUNGE TO DEATH
LIEUT.. HOZELHURST AND A. L.
WELSH FALL 200 FEETTO EARTH
Both We're Instantly Killed-Welsh,
Who Was at the Wheel Lost
Complete Control

Lieutenant Leighton w. HaZlehurst,
Seventeenth infantry, U. S. A, of Ma
con, Ga, and A. L. Welch. of Wash
ington, were killed at College Park.
Md, when a new army aerOplane Of
the Wright type, in which the two
men were flying, fell to the ground al
the army aviation school and was com
pletely wrecked.
Lieutenant Hazlehurst and Welch
had just started on their trip and had
reached an elevation of about 200 feet,
when the machine suddenly crashed
to the ground. Death to both was in
stantaneOus. The machine was com
pletely wrecked.
Welch was flying the machine and
Lieutenant Hazlehurst was with him
as a passenger. They had ascended a
distance of about 200 feet, when they
dipped to come down and go up again.
When about thirty feet from the
ground and going at a tremendous
speed, estimated by eye witnesses to
be between fifty and sixty miles an
hour, the machine collapsed and dash
ed to the earth. Apparently the weight
of the engine and the two aviatOrs
caused the collapse. Captain c. DEF.
Chandler and seven other army officers
witnessed the crash.
The machine was brought to the
aviation school three weeks ago by
Orville Wright. Welch came with him
from Dayton, o., as a teacher for the
Wriyhf cOmnanv Fifteen FIGHTS had
been made in the machine without ac-
cident since it was brought to Col
lege Park. Both Lieutenant Halle
hurst and Welch had separately made
successful trips in the machine. We.ch
was said by Orville Wright to be one
of their best teachers.
Lieutenant Hazlehurst was but
twenty-six years old and had been in
the army since 1904. He was born in
Mississippi and was appointed to this
military academy from that state. AT
ter completing his four years of study
at West Point he was appointed a
second lieutenant in the Seventeenth
infantry, where he served for a time
afterward being detailed to the signal
corps, where he was assigned to avia'
tion.

CUT WORM RAvAeEs APPEARS
Farmers Fear That Corn Will be Badly
Damaged in Consequence

Many of the farmers along the
hay shore in both Milford and Prime
Hook Necks, are complaining about
the "cut worn" destroying their
young corn. The extreme cold
nights of the past few weeks have
been exceedingly fine for these
worms to WORK and the farmers
state that uhless the heavy rains
followed Immediately by much
warmer weather and comes at once
the crop will be seriously damaged.
The worms work only in cold weather
and the warm sun kills them. The
pea season has almost closed in
this vicinity. (or the past two weeks

cipal canneries of Milford have
looked more like harvest fields than

wagon loads of peas ready to can

Fruit Crop Promises Big Yield

The outlook for a big fruit crop
in Sussex County this year is ex-
ceedingly bright During the
blosoming period of the apple
orchards cool weather prevailed,
deterring the operations on the
coddling moth, which deposits the
eggs which hatch and make the
core curculio that ruin many crops
not properly protected by spraying.
The weather was cool also when the
plum was in bloom and the trees
are loaded with fruit. The result
of freezing over Winter, however,
are showing up in the rotting of
some of the fruit on the branches.
The blight is contagious and wher-
ever one of the diseased plums
touches another the trouble spreads
by contact. Plucking off the
spotted green fruit may tend to
discourage the spread of the blight.
Peach trees protected by buildings
are showing a fairly good crop of
green fruit, and some orchards out
in the country give promise of fair
yield, while others will have no
crop at all. On some trees a

Thrown Out, Two Hurt

nTOWN Oulg ! W. tioi
An automobile accident occurred
Wednesd ay evening of last week
about two miles north of Smyrna, in
which three persons narrowly
escaped death. William Windolph,
formerly of Dover, and now
diamond broker of Philadelphia,
was on his way to Dover and had
as his passengers Charles W. Lord,
of Camden, and Charles Watson, of
Dover. son of deputy State Auditor
Amos A. Watson. WindOlph was at
the wheel of his Maxwell machine
and had passed the big Pierce Arrow
Car of A. B. Richardson of Dover,
which had as it's passengers Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Jones of Dover and Mr..
and Mrs. Homer D. Hudson Of Smyrna,
on their return trip from Whining
ton where Wednesday afternoon they
took to hospital J. Lindale Frazier
of Dover. a brother of Mrs. Jones
and Mrs. Hudson, who is supposed
to have typhoid fever. The Richard
son car had just passed the Win
dolph car when. it is supposed.
Windolph put on more power to
pass the Richardson car. Without
a moments warning, Winolbh's
car, going at a good rate of speed.
struck a stone or concrete wall of
a bridge, just this side of Frank
Armstrong; farm, causing the car
to turn turtle. Mr.. Lord was
caught in she car and had to be
extricated. He sustained severe
INJURIES about the leg, over the
forehead and on one hand. Win
dolph was frightfully cut about the
head, while Watson apparently
escaped without injury. The Rich
ardson car went to the rescue of
the unfortunate occupants of the
Windolph car and took them to
Smyrna where DR.. Messick dressed
their wounds. Several stitches had
too be made in Windolph's head, as
we'll as Mr.. Lords. They soon left
for Dover. Mr.. Lord was on his
way to see his daughter graduate at
