FERRY LINE TO
CAPE MAY PLAN
Col. Passy in Charge of New
Inlet Being Dug Sees
Ferry Service Soon
READY BY JUNE FIRST

A ferry boat service bteween
Cape May, N. j., and Lewes, a dis
tance of some 20 miles across low
er Delaware Bay. may be one of
the direct results of the new inlet
now being dug at Lewes, it was
learned last Friday. The project
is being promoted by Col. Marcel
de Passy, world famous marine
architect and designer, and Horace
Greeley Knowles of New York, a
former Lewes resident who has
just written to Mayor David w.
Burbage of their plans. Mr. Know
les is the son of the late DR.. Isaac
Knowles, editor of the first news
paper published in Lewes, known
as the Breakwater Light. Mr..
Knowles, who has been in business
in New York City for a number of
years, interested Colonel Passy in
the ferry project. specifications
and plans for a de Passy ferry
boat are completed, he writes,
and we think the boat can be
completed and the ferry service in
augurated by June l." Since the
abandonment of the former ferry
service between Cape May and
Lewes about twenty years ago, re-
peated efforts to reinstate a line
have been futile, due largely to
poor docking facilities at Lewes.
The new ferry service could use
the mouth of the new inlet, which
on completion this spring will have
a jetty protected entrance 500 feet
wide. The promoters have re-
quested Mayor Burbage to furnish
them with a drawing of the new
canal and yacht basin. showing di-
mensions and relative position to
the town of Lewes, and to advise
them when the inlet will be COM
pleted. The last ferry boats to op-
crate between the two points were
the Queen Caroline, owned by the
old Queen Anne Railroad, and the
Cape May.

REV. GALLEY TO
LEAVE SMYRNA
Accepts Call To Passionate of
Presbyterian Church in
Bristol, Pennsylvania
TO LEAVE HERE APRIL 16

Rev. James r. Galley, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Smyrna gave official notice to the
session of his church Wednesday
evening of last week that he had
been called to the leading church
of Bristol, Pa, and accepted same.
He asked that his resignation be
made effective Friday, April 16,
which was granted. The announce
ment that Mr.. Galley was to leave
Smyrna was received with deep re
gret. He came to Smyrna from
Wilmington the first Sundy in Sep
tember. 1888, young man, being
previously graduated from the
Princeton Theological Seminary,
Princeton, N. j., and was formally
installed as pastor October 10,
1888. On the Saturday previous
he married, in Philadelphia, Miss
Clara d. Maser, daughter of Rev
DR.. and Mrs. H. F. Maser. They
have a baby daughter. In the
time he has been located here
he has built the church to its
present high standard, has con-
tributed to number of i'm
provements to both church and
manse, and leaves the church
out of debt and a growing, thriv-
ing congregation. Rev. Mr.. Galley
feels keenly the severing of his
ministerial relations in Smyrna,
but sees in his new field of labor
an opportunity TO rise to greater
efforts of success in the ministry
to which he has consecrated his
life. Bristol, Pa, is a thriving
young city of 10000 inhabitants.
There are two Presbyterian
Churches there, the leading de-
nomination in the borough, and he
becomes pastor of the largest
church. He will be closer to Phil
adelphia and to his own relatives
as well as his Wholesome twenty
minutes drive from Bristol. Mr.
Galley leaves with the good wish
es of his congregation and the
Smyrna community. Smyrna Pres
byterians have made no choice of
a successor. They will no doubt,
take their time in making choice
and hear supplies after Mr.. Galley
leaves.

THE WAY TO FOOT
HEALTH

In recent years there has been an
ever increasing demand on the part
of the public for greater comfort in
footwear.
Duty lies heavy with the shoe fit
ter and the doctor who have made
a special study of the human foot.
But there is likewise a tremendous
responsibility to the public on the
part of the shoe manufacturer, for
without the proper type of shoes,
much of the good work of the doctor
and shoe-fitter is undone.
This responsibility was recognized
many years ago by George E. Muse
beck, president of the Musebeck
Shoe Company, who before entering
practical manufacturing, was asso-
ciated for ten years with the United
Shoe Machinery Company as a spe-
cial representative on shoe construc-
ton and factory engineering. In this
capacity he obtained a c%omprehen-
sive understanding of the problems
confronting the shoe manufacturer
and began his exhaustive study of
the human foot as well as the me-
chanics of shoe construction. For
almost a third of a century he has
devoted himself, through diligent re-
search and analytical surveys, as
well as practical manufacturing, to
the one ideal of making footwear
which would answer all the needs of
the human foot; seeking to provide
relief from the many ailments which
r directly traeeable to subnormal
and abnormal feet; and the unneces-
sary mistreatment of normal feet by
improper footwear.

Statement of MIR. Green

Following is the text of Mr..
Green's statement:
''The development of the past year
of outstanding Importance to labor
is the growing acceptance of labor's
right to organize in standard unions
for the purpose of collective bar
gaining and the growing conscious
ness of the value of collective bar
gaining on that basis. The right of
wage earners to participate in deter
mining terms and conditions under
which they work is automatic in the
democratic way of living.
when wage earners are assured
the right to union membership to
promote their own interests, the first
step is taken to assure to those who
work the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
when this right was first written
into law under guarantee of our Fed
eral Government, the movement of
the workers to join unions showed
what they really wanted to do when
no longer victimized for doing it.

Employees - Outlines Labor's
Legislative Program.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Employ
ment of every one wishing to work
is the fundamental requirement for
capacity production in industry and
this objective cannot be realized I'M
til every family receives an annual
income of $500, William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, said in a statement on
the outlook for labor during 1887.
Mr.. Green stressed the right Of
wage earners to have a voice in de-
termining work conditions as ele-
mental in our democratic life and
emphasized both the growing ac-
ceptance of the principle of trade
unionism and the gains in organiza-
ton during the past twelve months.
Abolition of child labor, shorter
hours to provide work for the job
less, higher wages, better living con-
ditions and the enactment of Federal
and State social justice legislation
were included by the chief of the
A. F. of L. in organized labor's pro-
gram for 1887.
