Eighteen states and one territory now have valued policies laws—that is, laws requiring fire insurance companies to pay the face of the policy, no matter what may be the actual value of the property burned. Miss Georgie Glass, of Bunkie, La., a school teacher at New Orleans, drowned herself after reading a letter from home. An fortunate love affair is said to have inspired the act. France this year is short 10,000,000 tons of coal. A German syndicate has just made arrangements whereby it secures all the timber on a large strip of land in the mountains in eastern Kentucky.

In 1676 the salary of a justice of the great sessions of Anglesey, Carnarvon and Merioneth was £50 a year. But a Welsh "judge" of those days was allowed to practice in the superior courts at Westminster. The advocate paid the judge. The rajah of Matlan owns the largest diamond in the world. It weighs 367 carats, and is shaped like an egg, with a queer little dented hollow at the smaller end. If a spray of liquid air is applied to the skin the part is frozen as hard as ice, but in a few minutes circulation returns without injury, providing the part is not at some extremity. Ginders from the forest fires on Cape Cod were carried by the wind as far as Boston, a distance of almost fifty miles, falling in the streets and the waters of the harbor in considerable showers.

The total value of the 17 events secured by five American jockeys during Ascot week in England was $110,000, while the 13 races won by English jockeys were worth only $65,000. A stranger in Salina, Kan., had the local police hunt all one day to recover a $4 bill he claimed to have lost. When the guilty man was located the officers learned that no $40 bills are printed.

Most interesting is Bishop Whipple's account of the manner in which he once prevented an Indian outbreak, says H. B. Merwin, in Atlantic "Courteousness of speech," he says, "is a marked characteristic of the Indian. It is an act of great rudeness to interrupt another, and the last words of every speech are: 'I have done.' Knowledge of this fact once enabled me to settle a serious difficulty. The Indians at Leech Lake had heard—as was the fact—that the government had sold all their pine without their knowledge and consent." An uprising was imminent, and the Indians had already killed the government cattle. Bishop Whipple was requested by the president to go to Leech Lake and negotiate with the Indians. "It was in the dead of winter, the thermometer below zero, and the snow deep. It was a journey of 75 miles through the forest, and it took us three days to reach the lake. The Indians came to their council in paint and feathers, angry and turbulent." Flatmouth, their chief, made a violent speech, to which the bishop replied briefly, as follows: "I shall tell you the truth. It will not be pleasant to my red brother. When you killed those cattle, you struck the Great Father in the face. When you stole those goods, you committed a crime. I am not here to tell you what the Great Father will do. He has not told me. He does what he ought to do, he will arrest those who have committed this crime, if it takes 10,000 men." "As I expected," the bishop relates, "the chief was very angry, and, springing to his feet, began to talk violently. I folded my arms and sat down. When he paused, I said quietly: 'Flatmouth, are you talking, or am I talking? If you are talking, I will wait till you have finished; if I am talking, you may wait till I have finished.' The Indians all shouted: 'Hi! ho!' Their chief had committed a great breach of courtesy toward me, their friend. "Overwhelmed with confusion, Flatmouth sat down, and I knew that the ground was mine. I then told them that when I heard of the pine sale I wrote to Washington and protested against it; that I went to the man who bought the pine, and told him that I should oppose the sale and carry the matter into the courts."

He Is Regarded in Europe as a Kind of Counterpulse to Emperor William—Favorable Reports Gave Out from Caar's Bedside—Sympathy Expressed by London Newspapers. London, Nov. 10.—The serious apprehension with which the announcement of the fact that the caar was suffering from typhoid fever filled Europe emphasizes how much the peace of the world is believed to be dependent upon him. But for the statement contained in the official bulletin that his majesty's malady is taking a thoroughly favorable course the news of his illness would have created nothing less than consternation. It is generally felt at the present critical state of international affairs that even a temporary weakening of the influence of so favorable a factor in the maintenance of the world's peace justifies grave anxiety, CZAR NICHOLAS II OF RUSSIA especially as the earar is regarded in Europe as a kind of counterpoise to Emperor William. Public anxiety will, therefore, remained strained until the none too robust monarch recovers. In political circles any other issue of his majesty's malady is regarded as a nightmare. The London newspapers comment on the earar's illness with peculiar sympathy. The Times remarks that it has always been believed in England that the earar "reincarcoated the national sentiment toward him and cherished real regard and reverence for our beloved queen." The Times also says: "The carar has exhibited consistent attachment to the cause of peace. It is hardly necessary to say that any event which will lead to a change in the occupant of the Russian throne, at the present anointment, will very gravely preclude the situation." Want Separate Place. St. Petersburg, Nov. 16.—The Russian newspapers are jubilantly celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the treaty of Peking, by which Russia acquired an immense amount of territory. The Novoe Vremya, however, unfavorably compares Russian diplomacy then with European diplomacy now, and says that it is authorized to state emphatically that an effort will be made to press a campaign for a separate place by Russia in the negotiations with China. This is not, however, understood as representing the government's views. Mute Before His Judge. Lansing, Mich., Nov. 16—Gen. W, L. White, ex-quartermaster general of the Michigan national guard, who has been under indictment for the past year for alleged complicity in the state military frudges, appeared before Judge Wiest in the circuit court Thursday afternoon. Gen. White returned to Michigan Wednesday night voluntarily, after an absence of almost a year. He stood mute before Judge Wiest and a plea of not guilty was ordered entered by the judge. Sherman's Will Probated Mansfield, O., Nov. 16.—The will of the late Senator John Sherman was admitted to probate Thursday morning in Judge Brinkerhoff's court and Col. Myron M. Parker, of Washington, and Congressman W. S. Kerr, of Mansfield, were made executors. No bond was required, the will having requested that no bond be asked.

To Be Held in Many Cities by the Red Cross Association—Greetings Will Be Read. New York, Nov. 16.—The parting of the centuries on the night of the 31st of the coming December will have a celebration of worldwide import and interest in the unique watch meetings to be held in this country under the auspices of the American National Red Cross. The association has arranged to hold watch meetings in many cities and towns of the United States, at which sealed packets containing greetings from leading celebrities of many lands, such as Tolstoi, Joseph Chamberlain, Kruger, Lord Roberts—about 100 in all—will be received and opened, and messages inclosed will be read. All have written special messages for the Red Cross on the progress of the nineteenth century and the promise of the twentieth. The object of these meetings is to raise an endowment or sustaining fund that will put the association in a position to offer that most valuable of all assistance—first relief—in the occurrence of any great calamity such as recently visited Galveston. Full information telling how to organize watch meetings will be furnished on application to the American National Red Cross, St, James building, New York. REFUSES TO GIVE UP PORTER. Authorities at Denver Will Not Permit Negro to Be Taken Back to Be Lynched. Denver, Col., Nov. 16—District Attorney McAllister refused Thursday morning to issue an order for the removal of John Porter, the young negro who confessed that he murdered Louise Frost at Limon, to Hugo, the county seat of Lincoln county, in which the crime was committed. Mr. McAllister based his refusal upon the ground that preparations were openly being made at Limon and Hugo to lynch Porter. John Porter was removed Thursday morning from the city jail to a place of safety. Police officers refuse to say where he was taken. "There is nothing for me to do," said Gov. Thomas Thursday, when asked if he would answer the proposed lynching. "The civil authorities have the prisoner and it lies with them to protect him." A crowd of excited men has gathered at the city jail, in the basement of the city hall. They are bent upon lynching young Porter. It is believed that the report that the prisoner had been removed is a fake, and that it was given out for the purpose of misleading the public. The crowd which gathered at the city jail was dispersed by a force of policemen. No resistance was offered. THE EAST SNOWBOUND.

C., Nov. 14).—The expedition to Pao-ting-fu and the presence of a large German force in Shen-Tung province is having the effect of turning Gov. Yuan Shi Ki from friendliness for foreigners.

Tuan, when he received a decree from Peking to kill all foreigners, warned Mr. Morgan and his colleagues and gave them an escort. Mr. Morgan describes the governor as a "brave, friendly and noble man who, at the risk of his life, saved us. The only foreigners left in Shen-Si are 20 priests, mostly Italians, and 12 nuns, who are occupying a sort of fort near Sian-Fu, defended by machine guns." Ordered to Correct Assessment. Springfield, Ill., Nov. 16.—The special committee of the board of equalization, appointed to investigate a reduction of the Cook county assessment, reported to the board that they found that the reduction was brought about by what practically amounts to a new assessment of real estate in Cook county.

London Toy Merchants Complain of ‘Too Much War for Theis ‘antiinee.” In anticipation of the demand which will set in with the coming of Santa Claus, manufneturers of toys in Ger- many and Franee are engaged in turn- ing out novelties for the Christmas season, and the wholesale merchants ot London are.laytag op huge stocks Hoe s Samoa of the toy of 1800-61 2 tative of the Daily Mai Spaght the ‘busy quarter of Hounds- diteh, where @ member of Fraenkel ‘Bros. was foun@ behind the ramparts of novelties for the coming season. “Let me tell you one thing,” said he; “before I begin to talk’ about Christmas goods. The Chinese war is ‘an absolute failure from the toy sell- et’s point of view. Those who imag- ined that the guccess of the South Af- rican war toy would be repeated in the case of China have fallen in badly. ‘There is & mechanical Boxer, for in- stance. You wind him up and he swishes am ax around, but no one ‘wants him, and although the Boer war toys are dying slowly there's more Mfe in them yet than ever there will be in any of those designed specially for the China business. Even an ash tray bearing Admiral Seymour's like- ness was an utter failure, “In buttons there has been an awful slump, one merchant of my acquaint- ance having mo less than 800,000 of ‘them in stock, without the faintest Prospect. of a clearance. And stocks elsewhere thronghout the United Kingdom are equally large. “In xpite of these evidences of wan- ing popularity, however, I still think that the war toy will figure largely this Christmas, and I know that swords, guns, helmets and soldiers are asked for in such quantities that man- ufacturers are having to refuse fur- ther orders, “The ingenious mechanical toy will, T think, fall off in the market for the coming season, but dolls, expecially the ‘coon’ ones, will be unprecedented- ly brisk, “Among the novelties will be found the ‘choral top,’ whieh on being set going plays @ variety of melodies. Magic lanterns, with war slides, will be in great favor, and for those who can afford a high-class toy here is the smoking ‘coon’ gentleman, who puffs ‘most naturally at his cigarette. That ‘will cost you five pounds, but that ex- cellent imitation of Cinquevalli's um- tbrella and ball triek may be had for ‘one shilling. “It will certainly be a season of good toys at a moderate figure.” OLDEST OF LIVING THINGS, Great Trees of California That Are nid to Amtedate the Rented Clifford Pinchot, the forester of the department of agriculture, has com- piled » pamphlet on the big trees of California, which has just been issued from the government printing office. It is handsomely Miustrated with a num- ber of fine plettres of the great trees, showing their size as compared with that of other conifers. Mr. Pinchot - seats: Rep slo eee: garding Big trees: “The dimensions of the big tree are unequaled. Its age makes it the oldest living thing. The majestic beauty of the big tree is unique and world re- nowned. It exists only in ten isolated groves on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains and nowhere else in the world, The Mariposa grove is the only one of consequence which is com- pletely protected. Most of the scat- tered groves of big trees are privately owned, and are, therefore, in danger of destruction, Lumbering is rapidly sweeping them off. Forty mills and logging compantes are now at work wholly or in part upon big tree timber. The ieee groves show some re- production, through which there is some hope of perpetuating these groves. In the northern groves the species hardly holds its own. The big tree and the smaller coast redwood rep- resent a surviving prehistoric genus of trees once widely distributed over the globe.” Mr. Pinchot says that before the gla- cial period the genus of big trees, called sequoia, flourished widely in the tem- ete zones of three continents, and ‘urope, Asia and America each had its share. But when the ice fields moved down out of the north the luxuriant Fegetation of the age declined, and one after another the different kinds gave way until only the big trees and the redwood survived. These trees have come down to us through the vicissi- tudes of many centuries, solely because of its superb qualifications, Its bark is often two feet thick and almost non- combustible, Yhe oldest specimens felled are still sound at heart and fun- gus is an enemy unknown to it. Yet the big trees have not increased their range since the glacial period, and have Just managed to hold their own on the Aittle strip of country where the cli- ‘mate is locally favorable. ‘The finest of all groves, the Calaveras ‘rove, with the biggest and tallest trees, came into the possession of a Jumberman on.Apeil 1, 1900; in short, the majority of the big trees of Call- fornia, certainly the best of them, are owned by people who have every right and, in many cases, every intention of cutting them down for lumber. Many of the notable trees in the Calaveras rove are 20 fet Im height and 20 t0 2 feet In diameter, The Stanislaus, or South Calaveras grove, contains 1,380 big trees.

The original area of the islands has been greatly reduced by erosion, and their surtaces are barren and desolate, so Dat ihe sind-wbigees geome, teem “a quaaidesert the green. is- Yand world of southeastern Axia."— Youth's Companion, Mis First Mustache. ‘When it comes to wrestling with his first mustache the yout. is apt 1 get it down.—Chieago Daily Newa, SOCIETY DIRECTORY ST.

It was Max Claren- / Gon, her father’s private secretary, who had veen sent to bring her home | the day she graduated. Like a true | woman the opinion of other women influenced her. “He isn't really handsome,” her companion had declared. “He is too angular—and just a little awkward.” “Then there's his hair. He ought to wear that long—or at least as long as Irving wears his—if he is really a - re ‘Max Clarendon had published some really remarkable verse in the leading magazines. “O, he isn’t to be compared to your father's partner— Burton Dildine!” decided Lila’s bosom friend. “He is so big and broad—he has such @ look of bravery: And it'r plain to be seen he adores you, Lila!” But Lila only laughed, and said that all this talk was nonsense. She de- clared she was s girl who was: 4 only in the knowledge of how ignor- ant she really was. And that she was going home to keep house for ...r fa- ther, and that {t would be many a year before she left him for—anyone. Nevertheless, in the year that fol- lowed, and the next, she found her- self forced to consider the assiduites of her ardent if repressed suitors. For she could not conceal from herself— and perbaps would not if she could— the faet thct both men loved her, Though, indeed, they showed it in vastly different ways. One might have fancied that it was only her feminine intuition which made plain to her the fact that Max Clarendon loved her at all. He was occupied with her father's interests. He was consumed by the unwavering passion of his own entrancing literary labors. And he did not pay her the pro- nouneed and open homage of Dildine, whe besieged Her with invitations und bombardea her with flowers. But when they met by cnance there was a sudden lightning flash in his dreamy eyes, a swift compression of the sensitive, beardiess lips, a quick irradiation of countenance which be- trayed the ecstatic thrill the mere sight of her had given him. “That secretary of your sather's is a queer chap,” remarked Dildine one day. Some late verses of Clarendon’s had ‘deen hugely praised by the critics and he was absurdly irritated thereat. “I don't believe he has the nerve of eat. We happened to meet the other ay just as an accident occurred on Washington street. A ragged little devil of a newsboy slipped, fell under the wheels of » cable car, and was horribly injured. ‘Pon my word. Clarendon went white as a ghost. T thought he would have fainted. He's @ good bit of a coward, I take it.” Acoward! The term rankled in the girl's mind, It unconsciously influ- ‘enced her, as had the remark of her ‘Rearest friend. She bad all a wom- an's admisation of bravery. The great ‘man was to ber the man of heroism— of daring. ‘When that evening Max Clarendon brought her a little gift she was per- Abaps less pleased by the offering than she would have been before her fa- ther’s Partner had reflectea upon his courage. The gift was a slim volume ‘of verse, written by a brilliant and un- ‘happy poet of the Pacific coast—a man whose self-inflicted death was ‘only less sad then his life, She had expressed s desire to read the poems. Max was quite exhilarated at having secured such an exquisite edition. “You will find many lines as delight- fal as those I quoted,” he assured her. “I know you will appreciate the pathoe—the beauty of his work!” “Thank you,” abe sald, a trifle coldly, “you are good. Pray do not exert your- self again to humor ty fancies.” ‘The glow and light went out of his face. He staid but « short time, mur- mured afew perfunctory words of leave-taking, amd went away with « manner which seemed sullen, but was merely the eloak of despair. And Lile—sitting with slim, idle hands clasped behind her head—remem- bering the remorse she strove to stifle, the Paine ook ‘upon his countenance, aw fore her as plainly as though in ‘the flesh those two favors of hare, One fo slender, grave, reticent, unassertive —the other so strong, massive, florid, Powerful. What @ man to have for a life defender—for a pillar of granite ‘pon which to lean—Burton Dildine. No wonder he had spoken of this timid ee with disdain. Her thoughts fecurred to her the next day, as—ait- ting beside Dildine, in his high rig, be- hind spirited horses—they whirled southward on Michigan avenue.

Along the smooth, hard road rang the horses’ hoofs, On the left: the. lake rippled sapphirine and slumbrous. Here and there on either side were awecps of bronze-brown grass and clover which would never- more be ecituson. Ahead—like the ru- ins of ax old-world city—stretched that ‘ard in which are buried more jes than in all the cemeteries of the crumbling landmarks of ‘the world’s fair. “Wait!” screamed Lila. “Wait! Something fs wrong!” Wrong decidediy. ‘The horse on the left, swerving with fright at some ob- Ject—possibly the gaunt, rotting cara- vels of Columbus—had cowered down, had shied sideways. In struggling up the pole was thrown over his back. Frantic with terror at his efforts to free himself, he reared, heaved, plunged. “Give me the reins!” cried the girl. “I'l hold them. You get out and lift the pole, Quick.” ‘There was no anawer. She looked hastily around. Dildine sat stirless. His face was ghastly. His heavy lower jaw had fallen, A bewil- dered terror glared from his eet eyes. “Quick!” she cried again. “The reins!” ‘They fell from his nerveless fingers, At the same instant the maddened beast freed itself from its unaccus: tomed incumbrance, scrambled to its feet, and then—its furious fright com= municated to its mate—dashed wildly southward. Lila had grasped the reins was straining at them with all the vigor and tensity of her strong young body. But it wonld have taken more muscular arms than hers to have ar= rested that headlong flight. Then— Just as her grip began to relax ever #0 slightly—an obstacle ahead in the shape of a temporarily abandoned buggy—brought a surge of fresh fear. Dildine saw it and scrambled to. his feet. The next instant he had leaped. He landed in a mass of dank leaves at the roadside, And Lila—teserted— still holding fast to the reins — sat stone still, resolute, waiting for death. ™ y were close upon the buggy now. Her arms seemed to be Wrenched from their sockets. She shut her eyes. A prayer of her baby: hood days came to her lips. “Dear God—" she began. ‘Then she was dimly conscious that the speed was less rapid. ‘The strain ‘on her wrists was not so agonizing. She opened her eyes. Something black was hanging from the head of the horse on the left—was swaying back and forth. Fierce fear seized her for the first time. “You will be killed!” she tried to shriek. “You are mad! Yet go! You will be killed!” But she kuew that no word passed her dry tips. ‘Ten feet—fifteen—twenty! Snorting, sweating, trembling, the conquered beasts stooa still. And the men who had risked his life to save a woman's looked bewildered into that woman's face. “Lila!” he panted, “Lila—ts It you?" He was covered with Anst. Hin clothes were torn, His hands were bleeding, She dropped to the ground —came and stood beside him. Her lips quivered, Still she could not speak, “I was wandering over there,” he sald, indicating the desolate | fair grounds. “I often come here. I have no home, you know.” The simplicity of the bitter confession hurt her. “No home—and but few friends. I saw the runaway. I did not dream you were the woman, Wao was with you? Where is ne?” She found voice fast enough then— voice and indignant utteranee. “Burton Dildine was with me, And he jumped to save himself—the coward!” “Hush! Here he is now!" He came up, begrimed as to ate tire, solicitous, apologetic, explana- tory, but unburt. Lila turned from his self-exculpa- tory torrent of words with uncon cenled disgust. “Will you take me home, Mr. Clare endon?” she asked. ‘They had to walk quite a distance to get a carriage. Liln noticed that several times he winced and hesitated. She noticed, too, that he useu only his left arm in helping her into the ve- hicle. But it was not untii—refusing to come in and allow her father to thank him—not indeed, until the next day did she learn that in his desper- ate struggle his right arm had been broken, ‘That he should act as her father's secretary for some time to come was obriously impossible, But one may fancy that those days 0: helplessness which followed were the happiest Max Ciareniion had ever known, When Le was able to resume his duties he found that Burton Dildine was no longer « partner of John Wile berg. “Papa bought out his interest,” Lite explained. “My father could not for- give him—and I would not receive him.” The routine of life seemed to have Se Scere Sor aoe Capers ee PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS. ‘Taking Risks —Towson—“Is you @anghter a finished musician?"

ELIXIR OF YOUTH FOUND. ‘This Time 1¢ Consiis of Diatitieg Water and Olive Olt—teed by TS Satlicesiaa Sanford Bennett, one of the Encinal city's wealthiest and best cltizens, has discovered, so he declares, the way to secure lasting youth. As evidence of the worth of his find Mr. Bennett offers his magnificently preserved physique, his clear eye and his mus- cular development, says the San Fran- cisco Cull. ‘The articles which have accom: pMshed so much for this experiment are distilled water and olive oil, Mr. Bennett has decided to let the world know how he has made use of his seeret and has actually, he be- Vieves, found that which Ponce De Leon searched in vain for centuries ago. Mr. Bennett is 52 years old. Hix ap- pearance is that of a man of 22 years. ‘He has builded hopes of reaching 108 years before he dies. A few years ago the discoverer of the vehicles of per- petual youth was as bald: as a billiard ball. ‘The oi}, applied to the top of his head, restored the hair 60 that now there is a flowing shock, covered by an enlarged hat, It is his purpose to give @ public lecture soon on “How Not to Grow Old and How to Live Long.” Mr. Bennett will give the lec- ture as a matter of self-protection, for of Inte he has been pestered by hundrede of the aged and infirm who want to get instructions first-hand in the matter of the use of “Dr. Sanford Bennett's Youth Restorer.” It is Mr, Bennett's theory that old ‘age and ill health are caused by the collection in the arteries and about the Joints of lime and ciay sediments contained in drinking water. This ‘mineral coating, he believes, inter: rupts the proper circulation of the dlood, prevents the necessary: Irriga: tion of the akin, produces stiffness of the joints and dulls the action of the brain. “Distilled water and olive oll, one used Internally, the other externally, are my elixirs of youth,” declared Mr. Bennett. “They will counteract the decaying conditions in the body. You must drink large quantities of dis- tilled water and rub yourself with pure California olive oll and take a moderate amount of exercise. That is the secret which my friends have #0 Jong wished to learn.” PAYS TUITION WITH HONEY. Youngs Woman Raises Bees and Is Going to College om Their Predect. ‘Syreense university has s student this fall who pays for her tuition an¢ for all her other expenses while tak ing the course by ber own industry and that of the busy bees she im- pressed into her service uring the summer, At the state fair recently held she received the first prize for bees and several prizes for honey, says a New York exchange. Miss Mary Mills nax 80 swarms and fakes entire charge of them herself, ‘They are kept in» vineyard on her father’s farm, not far from Syracuse, as they can be captured more easily ‘on the vines than on trees when they swarm. The working costume of the young woman js simple, but sufficient, consisting of denim bloomers, waist and short skirt. The color chosen in brown, ax bees are supposed to have special liking for it and are less likely to attack people who wear it. With it she wears a farmer's straw hat, enveloped in a brown silk veil tueked carefully into the waist of her gown. Sometimes she wears kid gloves when the bees are swarming, but frequent- ly works without them and {s seldom stung. One ix quite safe, she says, when perfectiy calm and self-pos- sessed, but the bees are keenly alive to nerrousness and quickly resent it. Miss Mills does all the carpenter work required, extracts the honey, much of which is sold as a sirup, and manages the business from start to finish. ‘The care of her bees occupies about three days 0. the week and the remainder of the time in summer she devotes to jelly making and fruit canning, in whieh she does brisk “order” business. Her skill in these branches won several prizes at the fair. ‘The money earned by Miss Mills has been saved for the stady of mu- tic, which she intends to make her special study in college. Her business will. be continued, as it requires lit- tle time in winter, and the Saturday holidays will enable her to do oll that fe necessary. j Jee & Mae, S51 5 SY la : ~ ¥ Mh =e -) Za ee ahs Re Bet ms Cnision, ‘i eonilteisi wees Do yeu think that it tse man's| Mr. Hroadway—Tben you an duty to acknowledge elwass. he is Ja | widow Aarne ter MTs Cel ES: Ga Wibeak — My do St onion att hareines amin sot sWelLe eeemeres He Aeeaans re |e.

S. QUIGLEY FOR CLERK OF THE PEACE When you begin to call the roll of good Republicans in Wilmington commence with the name of Winfield S. Quigley. Not a Republican for office, but a stalwart lover of his party and its principles when there was no office for such men in sight; when his party in Delaware was "a forlorn hope" and a hopeless minority. Steady and calm and determined he stood by his convictions, stood up for the colored man and his protection in the enjoyment of his citizenship, so unfalteringly that his neighbors noted him as "the black Republican." To-day he refers to those times with pride, and in surveying his political history recalls with exulting satisfaction his many sacrifices for the cause of his party and the advancement of the Negro. Winfield S. Quigley has in him the elements of the true man and the devoted adherent to principle. He is popular because he is considerate and impartial. The excitement will have to be great, indeed, that unbalances him. He moves in the even tenor of his way, neither turning to the right nor to the left, until the end in view is accomplished. He manifests deep sympathies for the down trodden, and no deserving man can appeal to him with a just cause without meeting a kindly response. There is nothing hard in his nature. His business career has been that of an honest and reliable man, as all will tell you who have dealt with him. There is no hurry nor furry but promptness, order and ease in his manner of attending to duties and discharging obligations. Among the excellent list of Republican candidates the Negro can find no better friend than Winfield S. Quigley, and they all know it just as they know him. The one safest conclusion of the present primary contest is that Mr. Quigley will get very nearly the solid vote of the Negro for the nomination and also for his election as Clerk of the Peace. In fact Mr. Quigley is a man of large calibre and fine fibre, and is fitted for some high and responsible position in the affairs of the state or nation. The office of Clerk of the Peace is one of much consequence and in this gentleman you have a man who can fill it to the letter, with credit to himself and honor and interest to the county. Ask any well-informed colored man and he will tell you to vote for Winfield S. Quigley, because, when elected, his influence will be given unhesitatingly, just as always, towards whatever is just and proper, in securing recognition and advancement for the colored man. In the battle for the political recognition of the Negro in Delaware it is always safe to count on the friendship of Winfield S. Quigley. S. H. BAYNARD The candidacy of Mr. S. H. Baynard, for Representative to the Legislature from the Second Representative District, comprising the Sixth and Eighth Wards lying above Eighth street, and all of the Ninth Ward is a most popular one. He has always taken an active interest in all public matters, and necessarily is well known to the people of this city. In the days when the brutal rule of the tax collectors and the Democratic inspectors was in vogue; he was in the foremost rank, demanding justice to each and all and he was always ready to lend a helping hand to those trying times. His public life has been an open record. As City Councilman, having represented the Sixth Ward for two terms, he was always an advocate of such measures that tended toward making our city better and greater. In the long and desperate struggle to purchase the lands that form our beautiful parks, he was an earnest advocate and by his help and influence the land was purchased and our people are now enjoying the blessing of these breathing places. He also served the people in the capacity as member of the Board of Education from the same ward for nine years and during that time he was chairman of the building committee that had charge of the erection of some of the finest school buildings that our city contains. He was always strictly impartial. He aimed to build the best school that the means at hand would warrant and to serve all alike. We all remember the magnificent fight he made to improve the Howard School and when the Board of Education approved of the building committee's plan, he as chairman, gave the work his personal supervision and the result was a school for colored pupils, as fine as any in our city. His unselfish attention to these duties make his candidacy so popular. R. L.

He is what you might call in political parlance a winner. His popularity will add strength to the ticket. Everything he touches turns to gold of success. He is full of perseverance and dispatch. No namby pamby Republicanism in him. He is not a rough rider but a speedy one, though. He hits the nail on the head with a smart rap. Such men are worth something to the party and worth a grear deal to our race. His promise is performance and the colored man may rely that he will act for their interest without a profusion of meaningless promises. It is a delight to vote and work for the election of men like Mr. Kelley. He comes of excellent stock and is an enthusiastic Republican. His first term as Comptroller is just closing and he has discharged the duties of that office in such an efficient and conscientious manner that he is entitled to re-election. There is scarcely any doubt of his re-election. The business men as well as all who have dealing with his office say that he is perfectly competent and reliable as a comptroller. For years Mr. Kelley has been active in bringing around Republican victories. His time and his means to the extent of his capacity are at the service of his party. The good Republicans know this and that accounts for the reason of his great popularity. He has made a thorough canvass of the County of New Castle and is gratified with the many assurances he is receiving from every hundred of his success. Mr. Kelley lives in Middletown and anyone who goes there and inquires, especially of the colored people, will find that he ranks among the grandest friends of the Negro in the state. We have letters from 20 colored men of Middletown telling us to support Geo. D. Kelley for Comptrollet, because the colored people of that town, who are acquainted with him, say that he is all right and a noble friend of our race. GALLAGHER FOR THE SECOND DISTRICT J. J. Gallagher, the candidate for Levy Court Commissioner for the Second District of New Castle County, is a life long Republican and has since attaining his majority been active in furthering the interests of the party. He has been Commissioner and has performed the duties pertaining to the office well and acceptably and his many friends consider him the right man in the right place and are earnestly looking to have him re-elected; having hopes that the Court to be elected this fall will contain a majority of his party associates and that by reason of his experience he will be of use in shaping the policy of said majority. He has never held but this one office, having been content to aid by his work, tme and money the cause of the party in his ward and district. A native of this city he feels a commendable pride in the growth and advancement of it and is anxious to have a share in the making of it a better and more beautiful place as well as to improve the condition of all its citizens.

Subject: Nations Are Judged—God Rewards and Punishes Them on Earth—God's Judgments Likened to the Swift Sweep of a Razor. [Copyright 1996] WASHINGTON, D. C.-Dr. Talmage, in his journey westward through Europe, has really witnessed scenes of thrilling histories. He writes, "In the empire which he shows that nations are judged in this world, and that God rewards them for their virtues and punishes them for their crimes. The next is Isaiah vii, 20. In the same day shall the Lord shave with his sword, and the hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." The Bible is the oldest book ever written. There are 30 similitudes in Ossian or the Iliad or the Odyssey so daring. Its imagery sometimes sees on the verge of the reckless, but only seems so. The fact that God would turtle and arouse and plant him would fail to accomplish similitude would fail to accomplish the object. While there are times when He employs to the Bible the gentle dew, and the morning cloud, and the dove and the daybreak in the presentation of truth, we often find the iron chariot, the lightning, the earthquake, the spray, the fire, the wind, the snow, the keen bladed instrument has advanced in usefulness with the ages. In Bible times and lands the beard remained uncut save in the seasons of mourning and humiliation, but the razor was always a suggestive symbol. David said of Doe's, his anointing tongue as is sharp razor working deceitful, that it is to oar the face, but is really used for deadly incision. In this striking text this weapon of the toilet appears under the following circumstances: Judea needed to have some of its prosperities cut off, and God sends against it three Assyrian kings—first Senmacherib, then Esarhaddon and after Nebuchadnez Yazar. These three sharp invasions cut down the glory of Judea and the Assyrian king of Assyria across the face of the land. And these devastations were called a hired razor because God took the kings of Assyria, with whom He had no sympathy, to do the work he paid them in palaces and spoils in invasions. These kings were hired to execute the divine behests, and now in which on its first readiness he gave life to them, charged with momentous import, "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." Let us be careful how we shoot at others, lest we take down the wrong one, remembering the servant of King William Rufus who shot at a deer, but the arrow glanced against a tree and killed the king. Instead of going out with shields to pierce the tree, he shot at the friend the friend of Richard Coeur de Lion. Richard; in the war of the Crusades, was captured and imprisoned, but none of his friends knew where, so his loyal friend went around the land from stronghold to stronghold and sang at each window a song. He was killed by Lion had taught him in other days. And one day coming before a jail where he suspected his king might be incarcerated, he sang two lines of song and immediately King Richard responded from his cell with the other two lines, and so his friend was sent to prison. A successful movement was at once made for his liberation. So let us go up and down the world with the music of kind words and sympathetic hearts, sending the fortunate and trying to get out of trouble men who had noble natures, but were incarcerated, thus liberating kings. More hymn-book and less razor. and mercurial toward those who while they 'a great fools have also great virtues, and great fools have also great virtues, and no verity, but no flowers. I must not too much enraged at a nettle along the fence if it be in a field containing forty acres of rice Michigan wheat. Some time ago naturalists told us there was on the sun a spot 20,000 miles long, but from the brightness and warmth I concluded it was a good deal of a sun still. The sun can be very hot, but it can be very cold, though it be 20,000 miles long, and I am very apologetic for those men who have great fants while at the same time they have magnificent virtues. Again, when I read in my text that the Lord shaves with the hired razor of Assyria the land of Kudu I think myself of the precision of God's providence. A razor swung the tenth part of an inch out of the right line means either failure or leceration, but God's dealings never elm- and they do not miss by the thousandth part of an inch the right direction. People talk as though things in this world were at hoos ends. Cholera sweeps across Marseilles and Madrid and Palermo, and we watch anxiously. Will the epidemic sweep Europe and America, or will it depend on whether the inoculation is a successful experiment; that will depend entirely on quarantine regulation; that will depend on the early or late appearance of frost; that epidemic is pitched into the world, and it goes blundering across the continents, and it is all guesswork and all appalling perma- thing thinks perma- thing to be the reason that His mercy may have in some way protected us; that He may have done as much for us as the quarantine and the health officers. It was right and a necessity that all caution should be used, but there have come enough macaroni from Italy and enough grape grapes from the south of Italy and enough grapes from the north of Italy and hidden in these arti-cles of transportation enough choleraic germs to have left by this time, all the cities mourning in the cemeteries. I thank all the doctors and quarantines, but more than all and first of all and last of all and all the time I thank God. For the 6000 years of the 2000 year existence there has not one thing merely "happened" but is not an anarchist, but a King, a Father. Further, my text tells us that God sometimes shaves nations: "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired." With one sharp sweep He went across judea, and down the river, and shaved the American nation. We had allowed to grow Sabath desecration and oppression and blasphemy and fraud and impurity and all sorts of turpitude. The South had its sins and the North had its sins and the East its sins and the West its sins. The North did not need. At length the sword of war cut from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf and from Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard. The pride of the land, not the cowards, but the heroes, on both sides went down. And that which we took for the sword @ war was the Lord razor. In 1803 again, at 1803 again, in 1803 again, in 1804 again. Then the sharp instrument was incased and put away. One would think that our national symbol of the eagle might sometimes suggest another eagle, that which ancient Rome carried. In the talons of that eagle were clutched at one time Britain, France, Spain, Japan, Russia, North America, Poland, Mexico, Dacia, Thrace, Macedonia, Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia, Palestine, Egypt and all northern Africa and all the islands of the Mediterranean—indeed all the world that was worth having; 120,000,000 of people under the wings of that one, one million of them, the historian, in his most poetic the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Ask her gigantic ruins, bemoaning their sadness through the ages, the screech owl at windows out of which worldwide conquerors looked. Ask the day of judgment, when her crown debauched her, when her crown debauched her, when her crown debauched her, and Drooliet, shall answer for their infamy. As man and nations let us repent and have our trust in a pardoning God rather than depend on former successes for immunity. Out of thirteen of the greatest battles of the world Napoleon had lost but one before he had defeated destruction often rode in the same saddle. But notice once more and more than all in my text that God is so kind and loving that when it is necessary for Him to cut He has to go to others for the sharp edge weapon. "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired." God is love. God is pity. God is help. God is shelter. God is rescue. God is thriving points, no instruments of laceration. If you want balm for wounds, He has that. If you want divine salve for eyesight. He has that. But if there is sharp and cutting work to do which requires a razor, that He hires. God has nothing about Him that saves when dire necessity demands, and then He has to go clear off to some one else to get it. God has nothing about Him that will be no novelty to those who have pondered the Calvarcean massacre, where God submerged Himself in human tears and crimsoned Hims if from punctured arteries and let the terrestrial and infernal worlds maul Him until the chandeliers of the sky had to be turned out because the universe could not endure the outrage. Illustrious for love He must have been to take care of you, paying out of His own heart the price of our admission at the gates of heaven. King Henry II. of England crowned his son as king, and on the day of coronation put on a servant's garb and waited, he, the king, at the son's table, to the astonishment of all the princes. But we know of a more wondrous scene, the King of Heaven and earth office, of the life and in the form of a servant waiting on you with blessing. Extol that love, all painting, all sculpture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Dresdenian gallery let Ralphahold Him up as a child, and in Antwerp cathedral let Rubens hand Him the keys to the altar. In Delmold make all his oratorio vibrate around that one chord—"He was wounded for our transgressions, brushed for our iniquities." But not until all the redeemed get home and from the countenances in all the galleries of the ransomed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption and archangel know the height and depth and breadth of the love of God. At our national capital a monument in honor of him who did more than any one to achieve our American independence was for scores of years in building, and most of us were discouraged and said it never would be completed. And how much of the highest officials of the nation the work was done! But will the monument to Him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? For ages the work has been going up. Evangelists and apostles and martyr have been adding to the heavenly pile, and every one of the millions of redeemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of gladiators and soldiers to the top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the whole millennium roll, saphire on the top of jasper, sardonyx on the top of chalcedony and chrysoprasus above tops, until far beneath shall be the walls and towers and domes of our earthly capital, a monument forever and for ever rising and laying us and washed us Him from our sins in His own blood and made us kings and priests forever." Alleluia, amen. RACE GLEANINGS. RACE GLEANINGS. Now in New York. As we have said time and again, we repeat that no one is more opposed to mob and rioting than we are. And we shall be quick to speak out and condemn it no matter in what section of the country it occurs. It was not with hate, that a few weeks ago we denounced the lawlessness that was rampant in New Orleans, in which the legally constituted authorities were powerless to suppress until a dozen lives had been sacrificed and much valuable property, including the public school building, had been destroyed. The law-abiding people of the Union had but scarcely recovered from the effects of the reign of terror in New Orleans, when they were brought face to face with another riot and blood had in the city of New York. Here, as in New Orleans, the Negro had killed a policeman, and because for the time being he had made good his escape, policemen, the sworn guardians of the peace, aided and abetted by irresponsible white men, attempted to wreak vengeance upon every Negro they could lay hands upon. In New York, as in New Orleans, scores of innocent Negroes, many of whom knew nothing of the trouble which Policeman Thorpe had with the Negro Harris, were mobbed in the most inhuman manner, and for no other reason than a Negro had killed a white man and had escaped, and that some Negro must be punished for it. There is not a word which New York can say that will extenuate the matter. Like New Orleans, she has shown herself unable to apprehend and punish according to law, those who violate the law of the land. New York City has disgraced herself and her State, she has shown herself a twin city in injustice to mob law and violence. We condemn her and her police discipline in as strong terms as we did New Orleans and her police authorities. Lawlessness is but lawlessness, and should be condemned and repudiated wherever it shows its head, whether north, east, south, or west. Doings and Savings of the Race. "By their fruits ye shall know them," sayeth the Good Book. But if we are to judge some of the men of God by their weekly utterances we shall be forced to the conclusion that some of the brethren are dealing in fruits of the canned variety, or the refrigerated process. Cold storage and canned goods may do for some, but the need for a live, active Christian is pure, wholesome fruit now. The total expenditure of public schools of the South for the year 1897-98 was $31,217,479. The estimated cost of schools for the colored children was about $6,575,000. The total enrollment in the public schools of the South for the year 1837-98 including the District of Columbia, was 5,620,553. The number of white children being 4,113,811, and the number of colored children 1,506,742. Prof. G. F. T. Cook, after 25 years of faithful and efficient service as superintendent of the Washington public schools, has resigned, and as a tes-Imonial of their esteem the teachers gave him a fine watch valued at $150. The first game of draughts lost in this country by F. J. Freeman, of Edinburg, Scotland, champion checker player of the world, was at Columbia, O. His opponent was Z. R.

Quite a colony of colored people has sailed for Cape Nome this year, and before the season shall have closed not less than 500 Negroes will be in Nome, with equally as many in Dawson City. The icebergs of the North no longer have terrors for the Negro. The first colored dent's to successfully pass the rigid examination of the State board of Virginia is a Kentuckian in the person of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, of Bowling Green. Dr. Ferguson is a graduate of the dental department of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Anderson Ferguson, of Topeka, Kan., is a first class tile and marble setter, making a salary of $21 per week. The Mobile, Ale., Shoe and Department store is an enterprise owned and controlled by colored men. The Frederick Douglass Memorial Association of Baltimore) Md., propose to erect a memorial window in the Centennial M. E. Church of that city in honor of Frederick Douglass. Mr. Douglass was, we learn, once a member and an exhorter or local preacher of Centennial. Illiteracy in North Carolina is increasing, particularly among the whites. By the census of 1870 there were 38,111 illiterate white voters in North Carolina; in 1880, 44,420; in 1890, 49,570-an average increase of 800 illiterate voters a year, and a total of 21 per cent. of the entire white voting population. Ghastly Dream Which Camo True Chastity Dream When Camp True. After having his rest disturbed by troubling dreams his thought being that his wife was dead, Edward M. Powell of Camden, N.

The dream seemed so vivid that Powell, gazing at the corpse, hardly knew whether he was awake or still dreaming and it was necessary for him to touch the body to dispel his doubts.

New Orleans received in 1864 as a bequest from Simon V. Sickles, a drugst. a fund of $16,844 for the establishment of a dispensary to furnish drugs and medical advice free to the poor of the city. Until 1877 the income was used for this purpose, but the city council finding that the expense much exceeded the receipts, voted to stop the disbursements until the time when the fund should have so increased that the city could equip a free dispensary and thus carry out the testator's desire to the letter. The amount of the fund is now $83.033.61. When it has reached $100,000 the plan will be carried out. Sir Charles Tupper. Sir Charles Tupper, perhaps the most distinguished of Canada's statesmen, has no doubt inherited much of his ability from his father. It is related of the latter, who was a Baptist clergyman, that by the time he was 65 years old he had read the whole Bible in eight different tongues. He died in 1831 at the advanced age of 87.

There is more Catarrch in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrch, manufacture of Purgatory Flower, is noted to be the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teapoonful.

Send for "inkings," free One of the chief subjects of the discussion among the captains and masters of vessels is the difference between the Canadian and American marine rules which govern navigators in Canadian water during foggy weather. The signal used, according to the Canadian rules during fog, is one long blast of the whistle, to be blown at short intervals, or the ringing of a bell. The American signal is three short blasts. With this difference in the law captains and masters find some difficulty during foggy or bad weather, especially when vessels are passing one another in the Wellland canal and such places. During the recent foggy weather much difficulty was experienced in this respect at the entrance of the Wellland canal at Port Dalhousie. Navigators of both countries recognize the great disadvantage they are at with this difference in their danger signals, and do not hesitate to say that a uniform code of signals should be adopted by both countries making it an international law.

When Abby spoke like that, ‘Trissy Ann and Sam kuew there was nothing left but to obey. ‘Trissy Ann snatched up her sunbonnet and started for the door.

In the exhibition of clocks and bronzes at the Paris Exposition was a very curious and unique timepiece devised by M. Passerat. On a square pedestal of wood covered with bronze Aecorations rests x plate of ordinary size. The plate has marked on its up- per surface a clock dial, and there isa swall figure of a swan lying on the bottom. If a little water is poured into the plate (enough to float the swan) the latter Immediately swims to the edge of the plate and indicates the hour with its beak. ‘The mechan- ism is very simple, In the interior of the box is a clock movement acting on a vertical pivot, to which is at: tached a horizontal arm. On the end of this arm is a powerful magnet. As the arm is revolved, just under the upper side of the box, by the clock mechanism, the swan, which has a plece of soft iron concealed in its heak, closely follows the magnet, when It is felt free to move by the presence of water In the plate, and thus the contrivance makes a practical timepiece. A slight mark on the up- ver surface of the pedestal and a cor- responding one on the edge of the plate serve to determine the correct placing of the latter.

Mr. Bryan, in addition to the declar- ation of his party platform, siood then, as he does now, pre-emiuent person- ally for boil. Even on the day after election in 1802, when it wag known that the protective tariff would be repealed, credit began to. grow weak. In 1883 578 bonks failed, and failures among business men and manufacturers reached the high-water mark in the country’s history of 15,560, with total abilities of $402,427.513. ‘That Mr. McKinley's lection strengthened private credit by reat: firming and reinstating the protective tariff principle is shown by the fatt that Bradstreet’s reports for the first six months of this year, 1900, record the fewest number of failures in the United States within eighteen years in spite of the fact that we now have a national bankruptey iaw. In 1893 the bank clearings, the great barome- ter of the country’s credit and busi- ness, were smaller than In any year since 1888, ‘The total bank clearings of the country for the entire year of 2803 were $53,830,093,522. In the first six months of this year, 1900, they wore $42,857,201,316, almost as much as for the entire year of 1893, while the grand total of the bank clearings for the yeur 1809 were $03,507,000,000. ‘The private credit of the men and firms of the country had’ been so strengthened by the election of Mr. McKinley that they were able to do nearly $49,000,000,900 more business through the bauks ja 1890 than they id in i893 under the Wilson policy, for which Mr. Beyan stood. But it was th: election of Mr. Me- Kinley and the victory for sound money that, equally with the assured vepeal of the Wilson tariff bill, strengthened private credit and ena- bled the people to take full advs.ntage of nature's bounty, It has also sirengthened the oational credit, and made itive itighest in ben ie Ont 2 per cent. bonds are eagerly sought after, and are commanding a pre- mium. The money market is the in- dex.of private credit, aiid the changes therein immediately following Mr. Mc- Kintey's election were most signifi- cant. Despite the prevalence of a belief that the free silver candidate was doomed to defeat, the feeling of ap- prehension was most acute during the few days preceding the election. The preparation on every hand against a possible mischance, the locking up of gold, curtailed the supply of money and seriously impaired credits. Money was only loaned at the highest rates. Brokers in New York City dealing on the Stock Exchange could only bor- row money at %4 per cent, commission and legal interest for the three days from Friday to Monday before the election, and the two days from Mon- day to Wednesday, the day after the election. On this basis the rate per annuni for call loans was equivalent to 25 per ceut. The present easy money market and low rate on call Joans in New York, as reported im the Tribune to-day, shows how private credit bas been strengthened under the gold standard and Mr. Bryan's de- feat. ‘The whole situation of credits and the movey market put before election day, 1886, represented the culmina- tlon of the distrust created by the mere possivility that the country might go upon a silver: basis.
