THE SENATE COMMITTEE.

The Matthews Senate Committee

Anderson was sworn, but being refused counsel.
he said that he had NO statements to make nor
questions to answer. The Committee went into
private session Non; fog the thi1d time: When the

to be pursued, but did not wish to be considered

any wish in regard TO the matter.
Another consultation of the Committee fol-
lowed. When the door were opened Anderson
WIS informed by the Chairman that the Com
mittee had decided that they would require his
testimony before the Committee. The Chairman
then asked him if he were willing to answer such
questions rs might be prOpounded to him, and
he replied that he was not. The Chairman re-
spOnded that in SO refusing Anderson set the
Committee at defiance.
Senator Whyte then stated that, in the absence
of the Senate, the Committee had NO power to
punish for contempt, and he therefore moved
that the Committee adjourn, subject to the call
Of the Chairman. The motion was agreed to,
and the Committee accordingly adjourned.

The Springfield "Republican" says =
Governor Rice is asked to pardon one
O'Donnell, of Mill lbury, from Charestown,
aud gentleman who recently visited the
State Prison thus tells his story "Gen-
tlemen," said the Warden, I" i want to
bring before you one OF the most remarlSa.
BILE cases we have in the prison. We call
him the man who never smiles, and
wish before he comes in to tell you his
story. He seems to be a man of more than
ordinary ability, one of the better class of
substantial, frugal Irish citizens, who owned
small place in one of our manufacturing
villages, where he resided with his family of
grown-up sons and daughters, who are per-
manenty employed and in comfortable cir
sumstances. The old man had fine gar
den on which he bestowed his leisure hours,
IN u part of which was fine lot of cab
hages. 1t seems that the boys in the
neighborhood had habit of trespassing on
the old mans garden, until he had deter
miued on getting rid of them by firing his
gun to frighten them away. Oae night,
hearing some one in his garden, he took
down his gun, and, getting behind the
hedge, fired into the garden, as he claims,
without aim or seeing any one to aim at
But the report of the gun alarmed the
seighbors, who, on rushing into the gar
den, found the lifeless body of young
9irl, shot through the heart The old
mau, when told what lie had done, was
struck dumb. He was arrested and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life. He has
now been here for ten years, and his face
has become as marble; there is no hope
nothing but the sad remembrance of that
dreadful night. In Ireland they have a
superstition among the young girls that
whoever on Halloween shall place cab
bage over the door will marry the first
young man that enters the door afterward.
And this it was proved, was the errand of
the young girl in the old mans garden
But instead of a wedding she found
grave"

The Telephone.

That which would h ave seemed impossi
bic and miraculous few years since, is
now regarded as the legitimate fruit of
our mental developement and inventive
genius. The telegraph, submarine cable,
and telephone, have each in it's successive
turn been thought the crowning marvel of
the age. That a speech pronounced in
Boston should report itself over the wires
toan audience in Brooklyn, and hymn
played in New York should be audible in
Washington, is indeed wonderful. But is
it not equally wonderful that r. V. Pierce,
NJ. D., OF Buffalo, N. Y, can through his
peculiar system of diagnosis and without
seeing the patient, obtain as accurate and
perfect knowledge of most chronic dis
cases as though he had made a personal
examination? And it is not reasonable to
suppose that as great progress has been
made in the occult sciences as in the more
tangible and readily demonstrate problems
of metaphysics, where each new invention
is but the logical sequence of the one that
precedes it? The failure of physicians to
fulfill their promises has created wide
spread feeling of distrust but is it right
TO condemn all physicians because the
greed Or ignorance of few induced them
to do wrong? Many are prejudiced against
DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines, and er-
roneously fancy them to be "cure-alls,'
but has not the Doctor repeatedly disclaim-
ed their ability to cure cancer, or give
other than temporary relief where the lung
was half wasted away? BY dealing fairly
with the people, he has earned their CON
fidence, and built up practice SO large in
the treatment of chronic diseases that the
erection of the Grand Invalids' Hotel, at
Buffalo, N y, to accommodate his pa
tients, became necessity. At an expense
of nearly half million dollars he has
erected the largest and most complete
sanitarium in the world.-Ba.6dlo Meas.

JOHN SHERMAN's bank circular IS
without precedent, and the offer to pay
for expressing silver Standard dollars to
the various banks is without warrant. 1t
is seemingly gratuity to the banks, some
ofwhich ridicule his proposition for them
to circulate the dollars where they will
not be likely to be returned.to the Treas
ury, and to pay them out instead of the
ST and 81 notes. The Secretary is acting
like big boy, lacking judgment, and
wishing to make himself extraordinarily
polite. 1t Is his business to pay the legal
tenders out for work done and for salaries
and let them come into circulation gradu-
ally. Wisdom would have taught the
circulation of gold as convenience to
the people to a certain extent, and the
boarding of the heavy silver coin, as is
the custom in France and.England where
they have no small notes. Sherman does
not pay out gold. He wishes it to be
continued above par.

How DID He Do IT?-That is the
question that is now most frequently
asked among our Republican friends
They don't understand how Capt. Gala
gher carried off majority of the negro
votes and majority of the white votes
of their party too, as the returns seem to
indicate. But as to who did get a major
ity of the negro votes is still an unsettled
question. Heretofore in Republican cir
cles the man who got majority of negro
votes was the "Simon pure. :. He was
good enough Republican for all to swear
by. But circumstances alter cases.
Now, when Gallagher seems to have them
the case is differentiated we hear some of
the Patterson people use such words as
we find not recorded in holy writ against
the "negro vote that nominated that man
Gallagher" They say the tools were all
'picked up and carted to the polls as
easily as the tools about the Water De-
partment are wagoned off to the. scene OF
labor. Very well, we take no stock in
the Republican funeral That; they did
laugh at us in their sleeves when the ne
groes were used to cheat us at the polls
is fact; and we ought to, although we
will not smile at them now. Their
"chicken's have come home to~roost" a
little sooner than we expected. But we
did not hear that Gallagher or Fraim
either voted any negro women dressed il
mems attire, as it was asserted their part,
did in our State some years ago. That wa
among the things that dsgusted th
whites. 1t will be remembered that Jen
kins' old Commercial with Theodore Til
ton, favored a negress for President
But that was before it become fashion

In 1912 the Methodists in this city all
worshiped in Asbury Church. Since then
it has been twice enlarged, while st.
Paul's ,alarge pewed church, Grace ,anoth-
er large and elegantly pewed church,
Union, another large and handsome
church, Scott and Brandywine, two fine
brick churches, have been erected by the
Methodists, and also Epworth, Madeley
and Kingswood chapel. These are fine
frame buildings. In addition to this is
the "City Mission" which is quite large
congregation. worshipping in house
that was used as a school house, making
ten Methodist congregations.
In 1912 the Episcopalians had two
churches here-St. Andrews and Trinity.
Since then they have built st. Johns, a
fine stone building in Brandywlne viii
lage, and small chapel in the western
section of the city, from which few
weeks ago large part of the congrega-
ton withdrew and united in formi ng
what is termed "Reformed Church."
Certainly reform is needed where body
of Christians progress so slowly as the
Episcopalans have done. Asbury and
the Methodists have wrought wonder
full work with! very small means. They
were poor men we know, such as the
disciples were described to be. If they
hold their integrity what will they be-
come III the next century?
The Presbytarians have prospered
greatly. aud so have the Baptists; while
the Catholics have almost kept pace
with the Methodista. 1t is easy to see
how surely, lahorious spiritual people do
their work. Their progress is as rapid
as it is sure. There has been one Swed-
enborgian church and Unitarian room
erected in this city since 1912; but there
has not been one Quaker meeting house
or chapel built in that time, although
the Friends were very popular here aud
controlled nearly every monetary institr-
ton. "The poor ye have always" As
bury was poor. But could Wilmington
have had greater blessing? Where are
her old men of 1912? You will look for
them in vain. But their works live after
them in beautiful remembrance.

CAT REHoRoTH CITY there are more
Methodists than Episcopalians, and while
regular licensed houses sell liquor there,
those who have visited both places are
aware of the fact that private bottles are
lar more numerous on the camp ground
than at the city. Under the laws of this
olale there are two licensed hotels at Re-
hopoth City, but we doubt if half as

there is on the Camp-meeting Association

this peninsula ought to be allowed to
have some place where they could be free
to recreate and worship at the same time,
and not be subject to such influence as
the bottle brings. And we regard the
licensing of two houses within mile of
the camp gounds as very much like the
act of the fellow who built the ''hotel'' on
the opposite corner from the new church
that was just completed. In fact we have
a right to ask for the legal evidence fol
the right to license both these houses in
one school district so sparsely populated
