BEANs.-A laughable bean story
comes to us from Madison, imphcat-
ing an Iowa county man 1t seems
that the misunderstanding occurred
at the table during the Governors
recent reception. Salad was the first
dish passed the |. G. man, which he
helped himself to literally. The
next dish offered him, he cautiously
scanned, and told the waiter, " Not
any, thank you" Seated by him
was Senator, in whose Judgment
the /. c. man placed great coah-
dence, especially on the question of
things good to eat" The Senator
dipped deeply into the strange dish,
and when the waiter had got out of
hearing distance the !. G. man asked
the legislator, "What's that stuff you
just piled onto your plate?" The
Senator replied, "Escalloped oysters;
I'm fond of oysters, aren't youP"
"Oysters!" exclaimed the /. G. man;
al like oysters; but thought they
were Jeans.f" We dare not give
names. but somebody had better save
us one of those "keep still" cigars

WE learn through the attorneys
who have been attending Court at
Lancaster, that our new Judge,
George Clementson, acquits himself
on the bench quite satisfactorily,
that he takes hold of the Court Ca.
ender in a business like manner,
listens to the arguments Of counsel
with attention, decides questions Of
law and practice promptly and vita
out display, and seems determined
to do his duty. He treats the bar
like gentlemen, and his courteous
manner is reciprocated; he inveSti-
gates the claims of litigants intel
ligently and states his views of The
law clearly and concisely, and the
business of the court moves smooth
ly on to the end of the term Thus
far he exhibits many of the atri-
butes of a good lawyer and just
Judge, and the hope of his success
before election seems to be well
founded.

THE Milwaukee firms, both whole.

and should all the wholesale houses

Several of our merchants have Wis
tied this office to obtain the addresses
of Milwaukee business houses from

now goes to Chicago could be secur-

A FINE CONCERT.
The Becher Quarteite and Delaware |
S@ngerbund at New Castle.

The Becler Quartelte and Delaware
S@ngerbund at New Castle.
Last evening the Delaware S@ngerbund
and Becher Quartette went to New Castle
and gave very fine concert in the Opera
House of that city. A special train, consist
Ing of passenger car and locomotive, left
this city Mt 6.45 o'clock, having on board
the singers ard a number of their friends,
numbering In all so persons.
The Opera House at the time the concert
commenced was well filled with the elite of
''ye ancient city," who, judging from the
applause, were well pleased with the excel
lent program rendered. The chorus were
under the dictatorship of Professor G.
b. Rhoads, and that fact alone is a
sufficient guarantee that they were rendered
In an excellent manner.
The members of the Becher quartet were
under the dictatorship of Professor Becher
and 1t is only due to say that he had taken
such pains with the members that their
singing was highly appreciated. Where
there was go much excellence, it would be
but we must notice the cornet
solos of A. j. Boulay. The first was
an excellent rendition OF the "Lizzie Polka,'
for which he was heartily applauded. The
second was "Young America" with varia-
tions, for which he received an encore, and
In response gave "Away Down Upon the
Suanee River" which was the finest 1t has
ever been our pleasure to listen to.
A solo, "Spielman's Lied," by Charles
Yetter. was one Of the gems of the evening.
Mr., Yetter has q fine baritone voice,
over which he has perfect control SO far as
he raises it, With very little cultivation
he would sing in much higher register than
he does at present. E. P. Freye brought
down the audience by the excellent manner
in which he sang "a Hearty Good Laugh"
The audience caught the contagion
and were not satisfied until Mr..
Freye repeated the song. The gentleman
is a thorough master of his excellent voice
and can sing In the upper register without
dropping the slightest portion of note.
The remainder Of the program gave equal
satisfaction. The Wilmington visitors re-
turned home at IL 80 O'Clock,

ST. LOUIS, Oct. '22.-Railroad officials
claim that the switchmen's strike is at an
end, while the strikers say the worst is to
come. To-day the different railroad yards
are keeping their freight moving, while
deputy sherifs guard the men at work. A
few of tie Illinois and st. Louis
employees deserted the strikers this
morning and returned to work.
Some of the men working in
the Cairo Short Line yards were assaulted
with rocks Saturday night, but the strikers
claim they were not connected with the
assault. 7. ]. Smith, private watchman
employed III the bridge yards in st. Louis,
went over to East St. Louis this morning to
I'LL a vacancy in that yard. One OF the
strikers charged him with carrying concealed
weapons, and had him taken from the engine
and lodged in jail, a loaded re-
volver being found on his person. Deputy
Sheriff Anthony visited all the railroad Yards
this morning, and reports everything run
ming smoothly, with nearly all the switch
men they require, and having no trouble
with the strikers. Deputies are on duty all
day in each yard, but they have absolutely
nothing to do.

inspectors, and It was in their power to
have done an act that would have brought
disgrace aud discrcdlt upon our party.
Then it was that William II. Smith knew
what his duty was under tn. obligation he
had taken and dared to do right, regardless
Of the elamor of an excited party on the
heel of an exciting political contest. The
position which be took, although In opposi-
tion to many OF his colleagues, Was right
and later events proved it to be so. The act
of our worthy Ex-Governor Hall, after
thorough examination of all the questions
when the political excitement had died
away, proved that the opinions held and the
decision then made was right, for Governor
Hall signed the certificate of Mr.. Martins
election to the Office of sheriff of New
Castle county. Is there any Democrat who
will say Governor Hall did a wrong act by
signing Mr.. Martins certificate of election?
If not then was not Mr.. Smith right in act
ing as he did3 II fidelity to the principles
of the party and hard work In Its interest
for lifetime without ever a feather is a
recommendation, then 1 say William H.
Smith stands the equal of any applicant for
