everything in their power, consistent
with discipline, to alleviate their condi.
tion, and cause their confinement to be
what the law intends, the means OF their
reformation.
The s hsriff thinks that the old Court
House could be fitted up as a workhouse
where the prisoners could be put to work
nd make the Jail self supporting. 1t
ould also be used to make vagrants and
r amps earn their own living, many of
twlom now apply to the Mayor of this
city to ba sent over, As they well know
that they will not have anything to do,
and will be well taken care OF at the ex-
psnse of the taxpayers. The suggestions
OF our worthy Sheriff in respect to a
,mmutat.on for good behavior, and the
o tatlishment Of q workhOuse. are Ger
tainly worthy the consideration of the
next Legislature.
Our neighbOrs up in Penn's Woods,
very frequently take occasion to lecture
the Diamond State on her pillory and
whipping post, and the thought occur
red to the reporter on Saturday, that II
some of those persons who have 30 much
to say about this mote in our eye,
would visit New Castle jail and com-
pare the treatment or those imprisone
there, with that of the discipline of the
Eas ern Penitsntiary, they would dis
cover where the beam is.
A peep into the Jail kitchen was taken
but the inviting smell of the dinner that
was being prepared was too tantalizng
and aggravating to the appetite of tho
reporter, and after being lot out by the
Sheriff, he struck a bee.line for the de-
pot, thinking that there are many worse
pla 'es in this world than New Castle
iail.

Abou, chs Of promise i.

Breach of promise suits are very COM
mon in England, but American girls
when Tilted rarely appt al to the courts.
No matter what she might suffer, no
Yankee girl of proper self respect would
think Of.tryipg to get damsges from .
recent lover tor a disappointment OF
that kind. A case has recently occupied
the courts of New York, which attracted
Q good deal OF attention, but the litigaDts
in this case were Jews. Miss Ida Ull-
man. of New York, sued Henry H.
Meyer, of Richmond, Virginia, for .
breach of promise of marriage. The de-
fendant admitted that he had courted
the girl, that he had made her presents,
and they were engaged to De married.
After the engagement he saw tit to
change his mind. He did not think he
live happily with her, and he broke the
engagement A sister of his helped to
break the match by reporting giddy and
unladylike conduct on the part of Miss
Ullman. The atfianced bride went out
riding with young men and allowed
them to kiss ana caress her. The jury,
after hearing beth sides, gave Miss Ull-
man u verdict for 81 700 instead of the
$40, 900 she asked tor, but the case has
been appealed. 1t is really serious
question what a young man or young
woman should do who found, after be-
ing engaged, that they had made mis-
take. No woman should want man
to marry her on compulsion or out Of
pity, and union tor life is too seriousa q
matter to be entered upon without both
parties being satisfied that they love
eact other. Should there not be tri
bunals where such matters could be put
to arbitration? Breaches of promise, by
the way, are very old affairs in English
law courts. Records of such cases have
been found as far back as the thirteenth
century,

Last Saturday night the Teachers
Committee of the Board of Education
held meeting at which the following
were present: DR. Grimshaw, chairman
President Conrad, and Messrs. kyne,
Baugh and Fnekel.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to report the name Of Mr..
Charlie ID. Ranes, of Bridgeport, Nd ,
as the successful applicant. Mr.. Ranes
is regarded as very good teacher and
an excellent selection. He passed q
splendid examination on last Tuesday,
and bad an a competitor Mr.. harris,
aLo from New Jersey. This is the
third time these gentlemen have con-
tested in examinations for similar posi-
tious. Mr. Ranes is a man about mid.
die age, and his experience as an edn.
Gator is very extensive. He has a
number of friends in this city, and his
wife who was Miss Robinson was for
merly of tLis place.
A number of the members of the
committee were in favor of Professor
Thomas N. Williams, of Seaford, but
as that gentleman felt deliCacy about
entering the examination he could not
he considered candidate. He is now
engaged In teaching at the Seaford
Academy, and has brilliant attain

made a good record by his persistent
advocacy of every bill in the cause Of

WAsHINGToN, Fe bruary l0.-The
Committee of Ways and Means today
heard Representative Thomas, who nrg-
ed the passage of his bill to regulate the
manufacture and sale of foeomargarine
He gave two reasons for.legislation upon
the su bject; First, protection to the legi-
innate butter trade. and second, the
protection of the public health. In sup
port of the first he offered statistics of
the butter trade, showing it's Importance
as compared with other agricultural
interests, and stated that the rapid in.
crease in the number OF oleomargarine
manufactures threatens the extinction
of the legitimate dairy interest that in
New York alone there are manufactures
enough to produce ZIG, 200, 900 pounds of
oleomargarine annually, while the en-
tire butter product of the State is but
III 900. 900 pounds; that Oleomargarine
can be produced for nine cents per pound
and, consequently, when sold 1t imita-
tion Of butler will drive the genuine
butter out OF the market, that at present
it is not and cannst be sold as oleomar-
garine or as substitute for cheap butter,
but Is sold in imitation of and under the
pretense of being butter. The commit.
tee will give further hearing upon the
subject.
