bonnet to shade her toddler's eyes
from the suns rays. Material for this
bonnet may vary from the finest ba-

tive bonnet, the brim of which Is lined
with d soft se-colored linen. Button

Synopsis-For years old Hi
larry Kingston lived with his
daughter, EIinor, in a beautiful
home on a hill in the suburban
village Of Nottingham. The
neighbors knew nothing about
the establishment, except that
the father was quite wealthy,
and the daughter very good
looking and gentle. In reality
Kingston was head of an an
archist band, composed of Huff,
Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge,
that robbed the rich and gave
to the poor and oppressed. One
day Old Hilary was shot dead,
and the course of life changed
abruptly for his daughter. The
Rev. Mr.. Ward. a young bache-
lor, began to take an uncommon
interest in Elinor.

Guilty of trespass.

Not guilty of disorderly conduct.
Thus Judge Churohman decreed in
City Court today in the cases of the
Rev. George A. Cooke, former pastor
OF Wesley NJ. b. Church, growing out
OF his attempt to conduct services in
Wesley Church, on Sunday, January

days before after an investigation by
a committee Of Methodist ministers
from the exercise OF all ministerial
privileges.
Judge Churchman suspended SEN
tence in the trcspass case, he evident
ly viewing it in the nature of a test
case, with no desire on the part of
the prosecution or the court to i'm
pose a penalty. Under the decision
the Rev. Mr. Cooke is barred from
conducting. or attempting TO conduct,
services i'm a Methodist Church so
long as his suspension from minis
torial functions.

of separation OF church and State, he

Of the view that the State will not in

thorities, excepting where property
rights are involved.
Following announcement OF the de-
cision by Judge Churchman, PastOI
Cooke, after he left the courtroom, said
he did not think he would do any

DOVER, Del. Feb 17.-Among the
last bills introduced in the House yes-
terday were several put in by Repre-
sentative Downward and suggested by
State Revenue Collector John Titus.
One of them provides that branch
houses shall pay a tax on goods dis
tributed as we'll as sold. It also pro
vides that such houses shall keep a
local record Of all local sales, which
shall be accessible to the State Reve-
nue. Collector.
Another bill suggested by Mr.. Titus
would repeal the section Of the pres
ent law which exempts business rwo-
men, not widows, whose business is
less than $1,000 annually from paying
tax. Widows are still exempted
Another bill would tax all laundries,
including those conducted by Chinese,
which are now exempt, and also taxes
bootblacks, hair dressers, dance halls,
garages that hire out machines and
fruit and grain brokers.
Members of the Legislature are an
ticipating an exceptionally busy week
for the sfinal consideration of business
starting with next Monday, now that
all new business is all in.
At 1890 O'CLOCK Tuesday the anti
suffragists will have a hearing before

No Demand FOR CITY
RESUBMISSION BILL
Business Men Will Present
This Argument 10 Legis-
lature at Dover Tuesday
WOULD BE NEEDLESS
EXPENSE, THEY SAY

In opposition to some of the dry"
measures that have been introduced
in the Legislature and especially the
bill providing for a special election
on the liquor question in both rural
New Castle county and Wilmington
next fall, a large delegation will go
to Dover next Tuesday. The delega-
tion VIII have hearing before the
temperance committees OF the two
houses. The trip TO Dover and re-
turn Will be made in special cars.
IL is expected that two hundred
men viii be in the delegation. which
will include some OF the most promi-
nent business men Of Wilmington.
These men claim that there is no
great demand for resubmission OF the
license question in Wilmington at
this time and that such a bill as in
troduced in the House by Representa-
tive Boyce providing for the special
election in Wilmington would do great
harm TO the city, if passed.
one OF the strongest arguments
against such a bill, its friends argue, is
that 1t would place a. needless heavy ex-
pense on the city and State Il is con-
tended that there is no change in the
sentiment in Wilmington since the last
wet and dry election and in fact
there is every indication that the CITY.
should the license question. come 10 a
vote. would vote "wet" by a much
larger majority than was recorded l9
years ago.
The total expense of such an election
to the aty and State under the pro-
visions Of the bill, would be at least
5000.
