The oldest odd Fellow In the
World.

Captain Benjamin Downing died in New
York, on Friday evening, at the age of
ninety-two years. He was born in STAN
ford, Conn, on the 10th of March, 1884.
Captain Downing was the Oldest living Odd
Fellow in the world, having Joined the Or
der in England in 1907. He served his ap-
premiership at the chair making business in
this city, with Mr.. Tilyou, father OF the
late Recorder Tilyou, in Stone street. He
commenced going to sea when quite young
For several years he commanded different
vessels. During the war of 1912 he was a
member of the Newport (R. ~ Artillery,
one of the oldest military organizations in
the country, and was stationed at Fort
Greene, Newport, and was later the keeper
of Eaton Neck Lighthouse. While there,
with small lad, his son, he succeeded in
rescuing the crew of a vessel which had
been capsized in a violent gale, for which
noble act he was rewarded by the Life Sav-
ing Association with gold medal and
purse of gold. He long commanded a
packet sailing from this port to Providence,
X. l., before any steamboat line to Boston
was established, and he was connected with
the irst steamboat line established to Prov
idence. His body will be taken to Newport,
R. l., on Monday afternoon, for interment.

BAYARD FOR PRESIDENT.

The reception which Mr.Baysrd received
upon Saturday, from the leading Demo.
Gratis Of Philadelphia and the adjoining
counties, at the Anniversary dinner Of the
Democratic Campaign Club, celebrating
the battle of New Orleans, was of the most
enthusiastic character. The outburst Of
feeling in his favor was fervid and spon-
taneous, such as personal magnetism alone
creates. His speech was an indictment Of
the administration, and an exposure Of
the political heresies of the Republican
party.
What are his chances. 1t will be con.
ceded that he will carry every Southern
State in the National Convention which
starts him with 139 electoral votes. We
know that he is acceptable to the leading
men in Pennsylvania, and the dsmsnstra'
ton OF Saturday night, was a pronunc'a'nentt
in his favor. He has great personal pop
ularity'in New York, and Calfornia-and il
locks as ifthe Darwinian theoryin his case
was to operats in the political order-tht

GUILTY or not guilty? General Schenck
will have an opportunity to answer to this
enquiry at day not very far distant. The
Englishmen who invested in the Emma
mine swindle are under the impression
that the game "his all hup," and they
have been swindled. On Thursday those
who invested not wisely but too we'll in
Emma held animated meetings Of indigna-
tion. Mr.. McDougall emphasized the
startling fact that they had all been stuck,
most outrageously stuck, as we would sa!
in America. There was no mine, no ore
and very little money. Those blarsteo
Americans no doubt came in for very
goodly share of not very Aattering discus.
sion at this announcement. He was after
getting the legal irons hot Immediately to
scorch the swindlers fer making deceptive
statements, and causing SO many people tt
waste their msney. Mr.. McDougall vii
assume all legal risk himself, and judging
from the distance at which the goose hang
in this matter there is a strong prospect Q
Mr.. Schenck's ermine being scorche'
somewhat despite the letters Of Reverb
johnson and the minister's thorcug
knowledge of poker and its little tricks.

How a Bank In Hartford Lost.

The Hartford Courant of Thursday |
prints the particulars of bold robbery in
that city few weeks ago. 1t says: On
the day that the affair occurred Mr.. AL
bott, cashier in the private banking house
of w. L. Watson, was alone at nsontime.
A lad entered the bank at about 12o clock
and told him that lady was in carriage
outside who wished to see some one in the
bank. Mr.. Abbott went to the curb,
where was standing carriage in which
large and good looking lady was seated.
Introducing himself, she at once made
known the object of her visit, which was
to astertain the rate. of exchange on Glas-
gov, Scotland. He gave her the desired
information, and, without preceding to
any further, she drove away, and Mr.. Alb
bott re-entered the bank, where he was
startled by the discovery soon after that a
robbery had been committed. Two boxes
containing trust funds belonging to the e.
tate OF the late Judge Hinman had been
absracted, the securities ben. in bonds
and stocks amounting in value to several
thousand dollars, while about four thous-
and dollars had also been taken. 1t was
Mr.. Abbott's Impression that the lad who
came into the bank followed him ont,
though he was not positive about it. He
saw, however, no one besides the boy in or
near the bank but it was surmised that
some one might have entered through a
back window and have escaped without be-
ing observed.
BY the advice of detectives an adver-
tisement was inserted in New York pa-
per offering liberal reward for the re-
turn of the stelen property. Soon after a
, letter was received from Colonel Fellows,
formerly assistant district attorney of New
York city, and we'll known Tammany
politician, announcing that he was in
possession Of valuable information. An
e interview with him was then had, and il
| became evident that he was acting a. At.
! terney for the party or parties who had
possession of the booty. He said that the
| currency could not be returned, but the
d securities would be on payment Of So. .OO(
in cash, which would make total less o
:. about 81 900 in the bank. This offer wa
= refused as being exorbitant, and finally
g after further negotiotions, consent wa
x given to return everything but the mene,
# for consideration of $1,000, and thi
!; amount was paid and the property wa
: secured. The facts of the case, az the,
n were developed, showed that the plot t
l. rob the bank was evidently the work O
New York thieves, who had the assistanc
of the woman who went to the bank as a
acccmplice.

SEVERAL newspapers i" the North are
endsavering to show that the principal op-
position in the House to the Centennial ap-
propriation bill comes from the Southern
members. The .animus Of this is easily
seen. 1t is apparent upon its very face
that it is to be used as trump card against
the Democratic party. In all portions OF
the South the Centennial is favored. Bu
it is in the North that the principal OF the
opposition exist. This is shown by the at
titude of the New York papers towards the
Centennial, nearly all Of which are under
theimpression that that city is the only one
where such could be successfully held. In
Massachusetts it is no better and it Is hard
to convince any New Englander that Bos-
ton is net the proper place for the great
National event to take place. Because
Philadelphia has been selected, the in
tensest jealousies have sprung up towarcs
that city and the W hole Centennial matter
Let the vote be taken. That will show
where the opposition lies, if there is any
But with the South there is none.

THE BOARD or EDUCATION.

The City Solicitor, for whom we enter
tain very high respect, and whose opin-
ion as lawyer, is entitled to considera-
sisn-has given the following opinion upen
the claim of the Board of Education.
II am of the opinion that the duty of the
City Council is to appropriate for the use of
the public schools of the city the sum Or the !
amount asked for by the Board of Edu"A
tion, according to computation be laid be-
fere them by said Board and to determine
the same as the sum necessary to be raise
for the use of the public schools in the vi
by taxation and make apportionmca at IL, +
Of as hereinbefore mentioned, and ;...
Council has not discretionary power q.
appropriate for the public schools less s,'nl
than that asked for and computed TO be
necessary by said Board"
Divested of all tho immaterial accom-
paniments, the conclusion Of the City So
Iicitor is the result of his legal interpreta-
tion, of Section 8 of the Charter of the
Board of Education, which is in the fol-
lowing words:
'The City Council shall every year when
determining the amount necessary to be
raised on the persons and estates in the city
for public use, also determine according to a
computation to be laid before them by said
Board, the sum necessary to he raised on
the persons and estates for executing the
foregoing provisions" Rev Code Az.
The importance of the question cannot
be measured by the amount Of money in
dispute-it is one affecting the dignity ol
the municipality Of Wilmington, as the
claim of the Board Of Education
if we'll founded, gives to that body
coordinate of taxation with City Coun
Gil "a power which we appreheni thu
Legislature never intended to csnfer upor
that body. Is it to be argued that Cit,
f Council is the mere servant of the Boar'
of Education, with no discretionary powe
q to determine how far citizens may be taxed
Carry out the argument to one of its logi

A remarkable bond, whlcr Is known ~
the bond of friendship mas just been ex-
citing lively iI...terest among the people
Of Pits; e,urg, and lifted citizen frem
r,,overty 10 a snig little fortune. Ihe
story as it goes is one that we seldom hear
in this grasping age, and the tie Of friend
ship must have been very s,rong to lead TO
any such sequel as this. In 1850 Mr.
James McCully tired Of the oppression
the sons of the green sod had to submit
to and became one of the passengers upon
an emigrant ship. Unlike some Mr.. Nc
Gully became neither an aspirant for poll
tical honors, nor did he desire a shop tor
the dispensation Of liquor at so much a
glass. He dreamed neither Of the fairy
tales that he had beer told Of gold being
picked up in the streets, FOR did he expect
to find it by doing nothing. His was
very much like the experience OF the for
eigner who came to America and Joined
the army. When asked why he came
over he stated that he had been told there
was great deal Of gold over here, but h-
had seen great deal more lead than gold.
The .ame wit, Mr.. McCully, he found
work easier to get at than the gold, and
without much ado about it he rolled up
his sleeves and went at it.
He prssper.d and raised money enough
to start little. shasty grocery. A rival
grocery store was situated not far
distant, but the most friendly relations ex-
isted between them, and in the rival store
was Mr.. Robert D. Clark. Hs had not
more than money enough to pay his wash
bills and get a good Sunday dinner By
| visiting friends on that day. But he wa'
| very kind to McCally, he posted him
gave him hints about prices, went ont o.
his way to give him information and wal
in fact McCully's right hand man
Through all the merchants business career
which landed him before his death al
one Of the wealthiest in the western
part Of Penns, ,lvania, Mr.. Clark was hi
friend. But he was not forgotten after thu
rich man died, for there was found among
his papers one directing his administra
tors to pay seventy-6ve thousand dollar
to Mr.. Robert D. Clark as token Of re
gard, and to commemorate the long friend
ship existing between he and the deceased
rhe courts have had the matter in thei
talons for some time, as the heirs contest
ed it, but it was decided in favor of Mr.
Clarke, and to-day he pats himself con
.olingly upon the right hand breeche
pocket seventv-fve thousand dollars bette
off, while the little bills are coming i
upon him from all sides, and the boys an
young men Of Pittsburg are as kind an
gentle to the old business Men as they ca
be. This is reward that expresses mor
friendship than words.

THERE is strong effort on the part o.
newspapers which have each its par'lcu'
lar man as preference for the Pres'dsn.
,ial nomination to speak despairlngly o.
the chances of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
for the Office. The principal reasen offored
is that Mr.. Bayard is SO unfortunate as
"a live in State Of extremely small ter
ri,orv and having 40 few votes IN the
electoral college. We do not think that
thi. will weigh any influence with Con
vention. Mr.. Bayard is the most popular
man that has been spoken Of yet upon the
Democratic ticket for the noni1atlon, ano
when his name i. offered we are confident
it will be shown that he represents the
Democratic choice for President. Iht
size of Delaware has no influence IN tht
matter and the efforts to decry his chances
upon these grounds are very weak ones.

spectfully differ from City Solicitors opin-
ion thereon.
We have net treated this case, in mar
row technical way-for the reason that the
question of the intent Of the Legislature,
is the true and only one here. We firmly
believe that our Legislature never intended
to confer the power claimed, upon the
Beard of Education, as it is inconslsten
with the limited existence, and circumscribed
authority of that body, and fatal to the
independence Of the municipal indepen
dence of the people. We cannot advise
City Council to reject the opinion Of thei
solicitor who is an able and respectabl,
gentleman; but the members of Counci
ought to remember, that the people elected
them, "ts preserve intact, and to resist al
encroachnsnt upon the privileges an
. Franchise of the Body Politic Of the cit
of Wilmington" They are advised t
permit an invasion of them. 1t is gray
question, lowered with consequences to ta
payers, and in these times of re'rechmer
and reform, it were wise to ask their Sol
citor to reconsider his opinion. No ma
is infallable and we firmly believe his opir
ion is not law. -...
