LESS than one month is before
the people to consider what they
should do for the best interest of
their state and country, as well as
for the nation. Your vote on cleo
tion day may be the pivot on which
the presidential question in Della
ware may hinge. and that the State
Of Delaware be kept safe under
wise and competent management
is very important to every one as a
tax payer. The republican party
stands pledged to good roads, hon
est expenditures, reform in our road
system and for practical business
for the county affairs. The Demo
cratic party has only promises of
what it would do if trusted with
power to back it up with the tax
payers, but the people remember
too well the record of the past
Democratic administrations, and
they will surely place the Republi- !
can party as the managers of their
affairs by electing the entire ticket
al the polls on the fifth Of Novem-
Der.

A PRINCE is KILLED IN AUTO AC
ClDENT

Prince George William, the eldest
son of the Duke of Cumberland, and
his chamberlain, Won Greve, were in
stantly killed in an automobile acct
dent on the highway at Freisacki,
Prussia, Monday evening. They left
Berlin early in the afternoon, intend
ing to proceed to Copenhagen by way
Of Hamburg, to attend the funeral Of
the princes uncle, the late King
Frederick VIII.
The prince, who was at the steer
ing wheel, probably failed to observe
the signs of warning that the high
way was being repaired, and drove
the machine at full speed into a part
of the roadway which was being mac
adamized. He lost control, the ma
chine being ditched, and turned on
its end. The princes head was crush
ed Chamberlain Won Greve's neck
was broken. The chauffeur, who was
inside the automobile, suffered a brol-
en- arm.
Prince George William was born in
1880. His father, Duke Ernest Au-
gust, Duke of Cumberland, and Duke
of Brunswick and Lunebourg, is head
of the house of the Guelphs.

MEETING OF THE COUNCIL

The city council held a meeting
Tuesday night at the council chamber,
and besides the members there were
goodly number of other citizens
present, who were there with reports
of damage done their property by the
recent rains, saying that their yards
had been flooded and otherwise dam
aged by the street drain pipes being
choked, etc.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the matter and to see If
steps cannot be taken to remedy this
defect and put the drain pipes in good
working order.
1t was decided to give the Woman's
Club so feet of space between the
city hall and the Christian church for
the erection of their club house, pro-
vided the council was by law allowed
to do so, and a committee was ap-
pointed to look into the matter and re.
port their findings. 1t was also sug.
gested that the club house be erected
with room especially provided fol
the Comfort Lodge.
Several other matters of more OF
less Importance came up for consid
Grafton before the hour for adjourn
ment arrived.

Representative Hobson of Alabama
and Representative Henry of Texas
voted against the Bartlett amendment
in favor of the Rucker resolution on
yesterday, and made vigorous speech
les in support of their position.
1T is clearly question of wheth
er We will have the resolution as il
comes to us now or not have it at
all, said Mr.. Hobson.
Il do not have any misgivings about
the federal government of the United
States imposing upon any section of
the United States. (Applause). | do
not believe it will enter the heart of
one American citizen in 10000 to en-
ploy federal troops or any other form
OF coercion, upon any action in the
United States. (Applause). The fed
eral government is nothing but an in
strument of all the states and the
southern states themselves make up
considerable part of the number of
all the states
Representative Henry of Texas
said if the resolution should go back
to the senate with the Bartlett in
cumbrance" the reform would be post
poned for many years.

CLARENCE RICHESON PAY
DEATH PENALTY

A special from Boston says that
Clarence V. 7. Richeson was electro
cuted at 12:10:02, and was pronounc-
ed dead at 12:13:17.
The special says:
The former Baptist clergyman who
confessed poisoning Avis Linnell OF
Hyannis, his former sweetheart, was
outwardly calm when he entered the
death chamber, and he maintained
his composure while the straps and
electrodes were being adjusted as he
sat in the electric chair.
Richeson walked to the chair erect,
eyes straight ahead, until he sat
down. Then he closed his eyes, and
kept them shut until the en0
Seated in the chair, he was asked
a series of questions by the Rev. Her.
bert S. Johnson, his spiritual advis-

During his answers he said:
God will take care of my soul, and
l pray for ali. I forgive everybody"
The last of these questions was:
Are you willing to die for Jesus
sake?" The reply, in an even, well
modulated tone, was simply, Il am
willing to die"

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE JUNIOR
CIVIC LEAGUE

Since the last annual report of the
Junior Civic League there have been
seven new members added to their
roll, making a total membership of
forty-six. The only work of impor-
lance done by them during the year
has been that for Comfort Lodge,
such as collecting pledges and paying
for the running expenses, adding ne
cessary articles from time to time
and looking after the lodge in gener-
al. The amounts of the expense items
are as follows: Rent of lodge room,
SIS monthly; waiting maid and laun-
dry together, $40 monthly; water,
1884 quarterly Soap and other toilet
articles are bought as needed and
charged to expense account, usually
amounting to about so cents. The
monthly pledges by the citizens
amount to $3.50 at present.
The board of trade has pledged to
Comfort Lodge 500 per year. The
board has paid its pledge monthly up
to April /, 1912 There were bills
against Comfort Lodge left over from
the equipment of the same amounting
to $37. The league has paid in small
amounts until they now owe $12 only.
This, of course, has nothing to do with
the running expenses of the lodge.
The league received the following
items at the shower given on the
day of their program at the Woman's
club on April 14th ult: Four roller
towels, six plain towels, one rug, two
table cloths, four small table covers,
one sheet, and So in money was given,
which is to go to the playground fund.
Now, that school is out, work will
begin on their two Fairgrounds, the
one loaned by Colonel Martin and
one by MI. E. P. Rentz.
Considering the many calls made
on our children's time and their close
confinement during the school term,
we must agree that they have done
remarkably well, and holding togeth-
er with such loyalty and enthusiasm
| it has been a pleasure to work with
this band of girls / thank the club
| for the privilege of doing so. 1t is
| true, it is not always easy work, for
many times in working with children
patience and energy, and | might say
| the nerves become almost exhausted,
yet the love of the child and child's
work helps to tide us on, and feel
| that mine has been the most pleasant
of any other committee work, and
while | fully appreciate it, l do not
want to appear selfish in the matter.
There are others who are more COM
petent than | to manage this Junior
Civic League, some who would likely
do more than | have done with them,
for my time is limited. l say this
that you, as a club, may think it over
and our president may know your
wishes and be governed accordingly
as to the dictatorship of our children
They are as fine a body of girls as
were ever banded together in one So
ciety, some of them already surpass-
Ii ing many of us as regards capability
in the management of official duties.

N THE JAPANESE STYLE
Excellent Suggestion for Linen Show
er That VIII Be Out Of the ordi-
nary--For Place Cards.

Al charming idea for "a linen shower
is to carry it out in Japanese fashion
with tho colors Of the cherry blossom
as the decorative scheme,
If the luncheon Is designed, darken
the room and hang numbers Of Chi
nese lanterns about. These may be
suspended from red and green cords
festooned around the walls, and cam
dies for the table may be in green,
with the rosy color for the shades.
Carnations, OF better still the cherry
blossoms themselves, 50 beautifully
made now in paper, can be the flower,
and placing some Of the branches In
crystal bowls and vases, just a few In
each, gives a pretty effect. Tall
screens covered with the blossoms
may be placed about wherever most
effective. forming aIcoves and coy
corners.
Have the parcels of linen wrapped
in rose paper and tied with green RIB
bons. A girl friend wearing kimono
In the two colors may bring In the
packages, handing them to the BRIDE
to-be. or placing them on large tray
ready for the purpose, where the
laughing recipient may open and dis
play the contents to those present.
Place cards may be tiny fans with
Japanese heads pasted on them.

Large Ruq Muffs Eclipse owners.


Some OF the stoles and muffs that
are being carried on cold days are so
huge that they fairly eclipse q slip Of
girl entirely. With the skirt and
coat made as slim as the physical pro-
portion Of q slender girl can stand
and then the addition Of huge neck
piece and muff, to say nothing Of an
all-eclipsing hat, a girl is completely
lost. Twenty years ago she could
never have carried the big muffs and
neckpieces made Of long-haired furs
that are fashionable now without
bending under their weight. But the
furrier has looked out for that, and
the biggest mum weighs scarcely as
much now as the little old-timer did.
One thing is practical about these
giant muffs. No ones arms are going
to suffer with cold while they have
such a shelter: The best Of these
muffs completely envelop the arms to
the elbows. and the mum itself covers
