BIG DREDGERs ENTER CANAL

Entered Another Roundabout Way

Locks So Small They Have To Be
Entered Another Roundabout Way
The Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal will probably be closed for a
short time late this week to enable
another dredge to enter the water
way at Chesapeake City. The Clin-
ton, owned by the Atlantic Gulf and
Pacific Company, New York, is the
steam dredge in question, being too
large to pass the locks at their pres
ent width, it has been moved by a
Golfer dam at Chesapeake City, in
readiness to pass around the locks and
into the canal proper. A second
dredge, the Cap May, owned by the
same company, has begun work in
Back Greek, leading to the western
entrance to the canal, and a third, the
Washington, has arrived at Delaware
City to begin work on the new east
ern entrance to the canal at Reedy
Point. Colonel Earl I. Brown Satur-
day called on the Maryland Towing
Company, Ltd, of Baltimore, to cleal
away the wreck of the wooden tug
Merrill, which caught fire and burned
in the canal last week, near the Pivot
Bridge, about two miles east of Chesa'
peake City.

Pastor, Rev. G. AshwOrth Burslem
Rev. G. Ashworth Burslem, pastor
of the Dover Presbyterian Church,
was presented with an automobile
during the morning services at his
church Sunday, by the members Of the
congregation. Rev. Burslem knew
nothing of the contemplated gift and
was much surprised. The minister had
been using an open car which he drove
from his home to the church as usual
Sunday morning. While the service
was in progress, the minister's car
was changed for a new one, closed
type of a popular make. When the
service was completed the minister
came for his car, he found the new
one standing where he left his old one
bearing the following card: "a fair
exchange is no robbery. This is a
Christmas present in advance. With
love and best wishes from your con-
eregation." Rev. Burslem expressed
his appreciation for the gift to the
congregation at the evening service.

Pet Dogs Stomach Reveals Missing
Diamonds and Money in Surgical
Operation Following an X-Ray

Operation Following an X-Ray
Lucky" the Boston bulldog be-
longing to NJ. w. Messing, of Gracean,
Md, which swallowed about S14OO
worth of diamonds as announced in
Times last week, has been operated on
by DR.. J. w. COrrigan, and some of
the diamonds recovered. One ring,
set with two karat stone was found
in the stomach Of the dog as perfect
as when it was last worn by its own
er. Another ring contained a stone
312 karats with seven or eight small
stones set around the big one, was
also found in the dogs stomach, but
with only one of the small stones in
tact. An X-ray showed some particle
in the intestines of the day, and this
is believed to be the missing diamond.
The gems showed a valuation of ST.
600 instead of $1,400. Besides the
ring, the stomach of the dog when
opened, was found to contain a pen
ney, dime, and a quarter. When
the rings were swallowed they were
separate. When found in the stomach
they were securely fastened together
with hemp or woll. The ring with the
missing stones was probably chewed
by the dog before swallowing, and the
stones either crushed or swallowed af
ter they were dislodged from the set
ting. Mr. Messing is a theatrical man
and visited the Eastern Shore for the
first time this summer. After mo-
toring the greatest part of the day,
Mrs. Messing started to prepare din
ner and slipped the rings into her
: apron pocket. When the meal was
ready she took off her apron and
threw it across the bathtub, forget
ting all about the rings. 1t is sup
posed they fell on the floor and the
dog got them. When first missed, 9
search was made everywhere without
result. 1t was thought that they
were in the grass near the house, anC
!. this was cut. Then some one sug-
gested that a stage ring be dropped
on the concrete to ascertain how fal
it would bounce. This was done ant
L the ring laid on a shelf alongside tn,
. alarm clock Soon the ring was mis-
) sing, and it was seen that the dog ha
e it in his mouth. Then suspicion fel
{ on the dog. He was X-rayed and tn
; rings found in the stomach. The do
y is alive, but is closely confined for tn
h present. The doctor believes the an

GUNNERS OUT NEXT TUESDAY
Season For Killing Wild Ducks Will
Open With Prospect For Game

season fOr Mining wiz DuCkS VIII
Open With Prospect For Game
October l, was the date set by the
Delaware Game Laws, for the open
ing of the season for duck shooting,
but local gunners will not be able to
90 out for this fowl until October 16,
due to the Federal laws, which pro-
hibits it until the latter date. The
State and Federal laws conflict and
in a case of this kind, the Federal law
takes precedence over the State law.
Another provision in which the State
and Federal laws conflict is in the
hours during which gunners may
shoot ducks. Federal hours are from
one-half hour before sunrise to sun
set while the State law allows hunt
ers to shoot them from one hour be-
fore sunrise until one hour after sun
set each week day. From all indica
tions this will be a good ducking sea
SON as thousands of black ducks were
hatched during the summer in the
marshes. With the arrival from the
north of the other species, including
the Mallard, Teal, Sprig, Gray, anC
Canvasback, there should be plenty o.
good shooting.

CROWD OF 5000 PAY HOMAGE

BARRETS CHAPEL CELEBRATED
Hundreds of Automobiles Parked On
Lawn and Line ROadway.-Rev.
c. Z. Wilson. d. D., Talks

L. L. Wilson, ID. d., Talks
A number from Smyrna motored to
near Frederica Sunday to join the
throng from all parts of the State
and Eastern Shore of Maryland to
pay homage to Old Barrett's Chapel,
"the cradle of Methodism" which cele-
brates this year its 143d anniversary.
With ideal Fall weather, the sun
shining crisp with the coming winter,
over 5000 gathered under the massive
trees and sang hymns and heard
words of oratOry in a service that
held the attention of the throng from
beginning to end. The little chapel,
unchanged through the passing years,
was too small to hold the crowd that
assembled there. They began coming
in the morning from all parts of the
country, in every conceivable vehicle.
Most of them carried box lunches. On
a platform on the lawn prominent
Methodist clergymen from Delaware
and adjacent states gathered. The
anniversary address was delivered by
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, a former
Delawarean, now general secretary,
Board of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, Washington, D. c. DR.
Wilson said although a man has q
natural tendency toward God, he otter
draws away from the Creator into
devious paths of intolerance. He be-
comes a party to certain things not IL
accord with the welfare of the coUn
try, DR.. Wilson declared. He said tina
man always drifts back to God. Th'
speaker took as his text, "Be no
drunk with wine, wherein is excess.
The service was presided over by Rev
Daniel J.Ford, pastor of the Magnolit
NJ. E. Church and Barrett's Chapel
Rev. Thomas E. Terry, Of Bridgeville
+ offered the prayer and Rev. w.
Dawson, of FELTON,, read the Scriptur
