CHIEF JUSTICE COMEQYS.
JTlmely Topics Before
HU Departure lor Europe.
Special Correspondence Eteniho Joursal.
New Yoke, June 7, —Your correspond
ent called upon Chief Justbe Comegys
at the Brevont House last night, and
cordially received by him. He looked a
little fatigued and complatued of hla
"old enemy lumbago." After the greet
ings the Chief Justice alluded feelingly
to his reception in Wilmington. He
said;
"When I came through Wilmington
this morning I was very much surprised ;
for there at the station was a gathering
of lawyers judges and my old frends to
bid me bon voyage. I did not expect
such a greeting, but I assure you sir, 1
appreciated it, and when I had to bid
them good-bye my heart was full. Now
that 1 am in the city the same spirit
seems to prompt the Delawareans and
xny friends here, that did thoss in Wil
mington. "
By this time there were four or five
persons waiting to pay their respects and
the chief justice greeted them like old
frieuds. He began lu bis usnal strain of
illustration and kept us for an hour, all
attention.
When asked if he did not feel a little
"shaky" in the idea of crossing the
ocean in bis advanced age, he replied: if
1 was going on a sailing vessel I would
not care, but these steamboats roll and
rock and shake a man up so that he feels
a Untie funny; but being used to the
water I think I can stand it all right.
"1 have a severe cold" said he. "that
I caught last night from standing on the
post office steps, getting some pointers
from Colonel Cooper about his trip. Yon
know the colonel is very observing and
he did give me some gooi ideas. I will
be back lu 'ime for the September term
of court In Wilmington. The people
there were very kind to me at the last
term of court, as I was sick. They had
a great many cases pat over and made a
short session for me."
Some one raised the question regard -
ing the whipping post and the old chief
waxed eloquent. "Tue peogle may make
all the fun they want to abont the whip
ping post, but it is a good thing and
other states are beginning to cepy after
ns. Why there are Maryland, New Jer
sey and several other states in which
they nse it for wife beaters. Why under
Heavens it should be restricted to this
class of culprits I cannot understand
A wife-beater is a disgrace to himself
his family and the community at largb,
but why the state wants to bring him
into publicity and advertise him I cannot
see It seems to me bis crime should be
hidden instead of made public,
"That reminds me of the Kemmeler
case It does seem to me that your courts
are making a big fuss about uol.hiug.
You have the law and why not execute
him? As to the unusualness that has
been passed upon and whether the sheriff
or warden shall execute him, they are
all stuff. Any man can do it and it is
very funny to me why the law is not
carried into effect at once "
This evening about 7 o'clock, the chief
with his daughter and brother Benjamin,
of Philadelphia, weve aboard the Umbria
and bidding friends a long farewell. They
wished to be remembered to all. They
were very comfortably situated and an
ticipated a very pleasant voyage. The
signs! to start was given and amid cheers
and God-speeding the boat moved away
from the pier.

ment from Supervisor Willey that he
would not press the case should the
defendant conclude to give proper

ians, left this city on Saturday uight
last on the steamer W. W. Colt for a

but, notwithstanding this, the Wilming
ton delegation busied themselves in
oasting up accounts—and their dinners—
through the effect of the salt sea waves.
They returned to this city yesterday
evening after having spent an enjoyable
time.

CHILDREN CELEBRATE.
BIRDS, FLOWERS AND MUSIC IN
THE CHURCHES.
Annual Exercises by Methodist, Prenby
terlan and Baptist Sunday School Chil
dren— Bright Side, and Happy Faces
Emphasize the Beauty of the Occasion,
Children's Day was celebrated in many
of the churches yesterday.
Special exercises were observed in St.
Paul's M. E. Church yesterday morning.
The church was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, and the platform was beautifully
decorat td with tropical plants. Over the
platform the words "Feed My Lambs"
in largo gold letters were hung, end
under this was a beautiful canary, which
kept warbling throughout the exereises.
The pastor, Rev. L. E. Barrett, made an
address of welcome to the school,
said.
It becomes my pleasant duty to give
you all. both old and young, a'good, old
royal welcome. On an occasion of this
kind the pastor has to take a back seat,
and allow the little ones plenty of room.
This Is indeed Children's Day ; and we
come before yon with singing birds and
beautiful flowers. Let your mind grasp,
the fact tht,t ovsr 2,000,000 of children are
gathered In the churches throughout this
beautiful country, to sing praises to God
on this day. The monev that is given In
the churches to-day will go to the Chil
dren's Board of Christian Education, In
New York.
There are a great many more poor
than rich men who wish to preach the
gospel, and for the benefit of those poor
m*n the Christian Board was estab
lished. A young man who wishes to
become a minister, receives the endorse
ment of the conference of his state,
and then goes before the board in New
York, and the minister in charge
will write him a check for |50, and take
his note for the payment for the same,
two years after he leaves college. The
board does not give this money, but only
loans it, as they do not wish to make
beggarsjor paupers "of any one. Abont
5,000 poor men have become ministers
through this board. As there has been
very little time allowed me, I therefore
extend you a hearty welcome, and may
the Loid's blessings fall upon you all."
The regular exercises of the school
were conducted in the afternoon,
that there were short addresses made by
Rev. L. E. Barrett, Rev. George M.
Hickman, pastor of the First Presby
terian Church, and Wiiliam H. Billany.
The Sunday school room was also decor
ated with ; flowers and the birds
blending their mellow tones with the
singing, which was indeed beau .if ul to
bear.

GATHERING THE CENSUS.
Enumerator« If-»»» Bit On« Wo k to
Complets the Work.
Th« enumerators of the census for
Delaware made an excellent record last
wtek, and Supervisor Willey it greatly
pleased with tha result. Th« men re
cel vsd the best of treatment,
among many ignorant people with whom
they had to deal. Towards the last of
the week several hundred blanks wer«
voluntarily filled in and sent to the
enumerators, thus greatly aiding them
and saving valuable time.
There are several obstinate colored
people In this city, who will probably
bave to be desit with by law, but the
punishing of refusing to answer the
questions will be fully explained to them
before proceedings are Issued. Several
men were cemplaiued of to Supervisor
Willey, by the enumerators on Satur
day last, but that official received tele
phone messages early this morning that
the objectionable ones had profited by
the example made of the man Husbands,
and the enumerators withdrew the
charges against them.
Some of the census gatherers are
doing fine work among the foreign ele
ment. A good interpreter la procured
and sworn, and the questions are then
answered as rapidly and fully as by any
body. This branch of the work is therefore
of very little trouble. One of the worst
difficulties Is when persona are encoun
tered who do not know or have no record
of their age or antecedents. These are
but few and far between, but when they
are found, the census man is sorely puz
zled as to his next method of procedure.
The law seta forth that the work must
be completed this week in this city, and
every enumerator will have to rush day
and night to finish the work by Monday,
June 16. The state enumerators will
have three weeks yet.
