They MaGle . Mistake.

Judge Cummins and Clerk Penning.
ton have made mistake by accepting
their respective Offices. Nobody doubts
tho integrity and ability Of Judge Cum
minis to perform the duties of his office
with fairness and impartiality, and the
same may be said of Clerk Pennington,
but that will be but . poor recompense
for the want Of respect by the public for
the offices they fill. The only lack OF
self-respect which can be possibly with.
held from these gentlemen is that which
must naturally attach to the accepting
and holding of offices which the people
never can nor never will respect while
they are advocates of the principle o.
local self government.
They should never have accepted
those offices because they were political
partisan offices, made only and express
ly for the object of keeping Wilmington
under Democratic rule, no matter which
way the people voted. No attempt has
bsen made to show that the offices they
hold were not created in partisan
spirit and for q partisan purpose. 1t Ii
true that the public were Informed
while the Legislature was incubatinl
over the egg that brought forth the Mu
nicipal Court that it was non-partisar
measure, but since the production ol
that measure and We now see what it II
the public can only look upon the boast
ed non partisan feature of the court q,
q hollow mockery, made as If to taun
the people. We say again that Judg'
Cummins and Clerk Pennington mad
q mistake.
Another consideration that shoult
have had influence with them in de
clining to become the agents for putting
this partisan law in motion was the fac
that neither of them were to the mano
born so far as local self government ant
home rule can be applied to Whining
ton. For many years past b tn Republi
cans and Democrats in New Castle
County have complained oflonal govern
ment by way of Dover. The passage o'
this partisan law by the representatives
of minority of the people, and tha
minority as distant as it could be from
the majority, was but confirmation o
the charge that New Castle County ,an(
especially Wilmington, ruled by way
OF Dover Then in the face Of thi
charge for which there is too mucl
ground, and from the face that Judg'
Cummins is native of Smyrna, ant
Clerk Pennington a native of Dover
these gentlemen should have been tht
last to have accepted the offices they
hold and by So doing show that Viii
mington is indeed ruled by Kent anc
Sussex Counties, that know but little O
Wilmington. Nobody will say they haC
no righ to accept those Offices, but tn,
common proprietes of recognized fai
dealing should have induced lhem t.
turn their backs upon such partisan
temptation. But having accepted thes'
partisan offices with all their conse
quences, they can only expect a divided
public personal respect, while for tn
partisan machine they operate there cal
be no respect whatever by any intelli
gent friend of local self-government

Woman's Sphere in Life.

As TO the horror of a professional
woman, says the New DIRK Sun, there is
really no sound reason for that. Be
cause a woman works for her living she
need not be any the less charming than
one who is brought up to expect she
must be supported by some one else.
1t is true.there is a great deal of talk
about woman unseXing herself, but af
ter all that is something they cannot
do. Women are not merely feminine
physiologically. They are feminine in
every respect, in their intellect and their
emotions and we slay say, in their NOR
al sense. Whatever they do they are
always women, being very distinct
from men in their qualities; and hence
instead Of their work unsexing them it
cannot be successfully pursued unless
it is adapted to their condition.
If woman is in shop or factory, if
she is clerk behind counter, q tele-
grapher, milliner, dressmaker she
may be, as we all know, just as lovely,
charming, and feminine creature as
if she did nothing more than coddle
lap dog or busy herself only about in
side household duties. Indeed her work
is likely to make her all the more inter-
esting. Her wits may be brighter and
her sympathies keener than those of a
woman whose sphere is more restricted.
Her mind may be less occupied with
trities, and perhaps she enjoys her home
the more and makes it all the more de-
Gghtful because it means rest and peace
after outside toll for her.
And n a woman may work at trade
without damaging her lovable DISPOSE
ton and her charming domestic quail
ties, as many thousands of cases show
she can do, why should profession
necessarily unfit her to be the compan-
ion of a man with taste of literature
and domestically inclined? Besides, if
she is able to add to his $1S or $40 per
week substantial fees earned by herself
they can afford to buy more literature
and to make more agreeable the sur
roundings of their home. 1t is great
mistake to suppose that women are only
charming in state of pecuniary depen-
dence, that while they are fitted well
enough to do odd jobs about house,
they should have no active interests out
side. This is nation better suited to
oriental customs and prejudices than to
this region at this time when every
fashionable woman in New York en-
cages in multitude of outdoor activi-
ties.
What is the future woman to do? She
will do whatever she fits herself for and
will enter into every occupation where
she can successfully compete with man.
But cycles of time will pass away, and
she will be the same feminine creature
who now holds mastery over the
hearts of men, and who commands
love as sweetheart, wife, and mother.
You cannot change her, God be praised.

A CHASTITY Floating Funeral.

The night of our arrival, says T. B.
Aldrich. in his new book, was one of
those unearthly moonlight nights that
belong to Italy. The Arno, changed to
stream of quicksilver, flowed swiftly
through the stone arches of the Ponte
Vecchio under our windows, and hurled
me with its beauty out of doors, though
great clock somewhere near by just
changed eleven. By an engraving l had
seen in boyhood | recognized the bridge
of Taddeo Gaddi, with its goldsmith
shop on either side. They were closed
now, of course. 1 strolled across the
bridge and back again, once or twice,
and then wandered off into network
of dingy streets, traversed by one street
so very narrow that you saw only
hands breadth of amethystine sky be-
tween the tops of the tall buildings.
Standing in the middle of the thorough
fare, l could almost touch the shutters
of the shops right and left. At the up
per end of the street, which was at least
three-quarters of mile in length, the
overhanging fronts of the lofty houses
seemed to meet and shut out the dense
moonlight In the desperate struggle
which took place there between the
moon and the gloom hundred fantas-
tic shadows slipped from coign and cor
nice and fell into the street below like
besiegers flung from the ramparts of
some old castle. Not human being or
q light was anywhere visible. Sudden
ly l saw what, for an instant, | took to
be falling star in the extreme distance
1t approached in Zigzag course. 1t
;.+a thara
larger; then | discovered they were tor
ches. A low monotonous chant, like
the distant chorus of demonsin an opera,
reached my ear. The chant momently
increased in distinctness, and as the
torches drew nearer, / saw that they
were carried by fifteen or twenty per-
sons marching in a square, in the mid
die of which was a bier supported by
number of ghostly figures. The process.
sion was sweeping down on me at the
rate of six miles an hour; the training
pail tapped in the wind caused by the
velocity of the march. When the cor
tege was within twenty or thirty yards
of me | noticed that the trestle-bearers
and the persons who held the flambeaux
were shrouded from forehead to foot in
white sheets, with holes pierced for the
eyes. l never beheld anything SO dew
ilish. On they came, occupying the
whole width of the narrow street. |
had barely time to crowd myself into a
projecting doorway, when they swept
by with a rythmical sweeping gait, to
the measure of the awful threnody l
waited until the muffied chant melted
into the distance, and then made bee
line for the hotel.

Former Discharge of Lake Winnipeg.

Recent exploration and leveling show
that the surmise of General G. K War
rem, to the effect that Lake Winnipeg
once discharged itself into the Missis-
sippi on the south instead of Hudson's
Dana, the well known geologist, in a
paper in the american Journal of Sci
ence, fully discusses the evidence, and
shows that the change was due not to
barrier of ice or earth, but to change
of level over wide area. The geolo-
gical facts he adduces point to the fol-
lowing succession of events:
The lake deposits being underlaid by
unstratilied drift show that before the
great lake existed, glacier had moved
southwark over that region and deposit
ted moranic material. The high level
prairie on either side of the lake region
and of the Minnesota valley is made up
of this unstratitied drift; but the gener-
ally level surface in the part next the
lake valley and the qualification in the
material show that the floods from the
melting ice leveled it. This period of
floods was followed by the era of the
great lake, that is to say, of quiet waters
and gentle deposits, with slow dis
charge over the Lake Traverse region,
which appears to have been brought
about by diminution in the slope of
the general surface, which was part of
a great change of slope which went on,
as General Warren has explained, until
the land was reduced to its present in
clination and the stream to its courses.

3" Paw the Cashier, ="

A young man arrived in town the
other day from one of the interior
towns, and was dressed in the height of
fashion-de-countrv. The airs he put on
treading the pavement attracted the at
tention of all pedestrians, especially the
young ladies, on whom he dispensed
soul-invigorating smiles. The rich
young lady and the poor girl each
caught smile as they passed him. He
entered a restaurant, and even before
ordering his 5 cent lunch commenced
an attack on the heart of the pretty
waiter girl. He swallowed his cheap
dinner and almost got away with his own
palate, and was about to arise when the
pretty waiter girl approached and slyly
tucked a note down by the side of his
plate. He was now sure that his mash
ing" efforts had been appreciated. He
stealthily gathered it up and placed it
in his pocket, and would read it when
he got outside. He was sure it was an
appointment" So he fastened to the
cashiers desk, and when asked for his
check said that he had none. Forget
ting that she had given him a check, she
called out, "Ten cents" which he paid,
and he passed out into the busy throng.
Having reached secure place, where
the gaze of the idle multitude would
not disturb him, and, with a beating
heart and between short breaths, he
tished out the little note of appoint
ment. which read: "Pay cashier ter
cents"

BATTLING with an Octopus.

Hon Edward Eddy Is. according TO al
reports, having : good time upon his
Eastern trip. Last Sunday he joined
the immense crowd that VAS en- rout: to
Coney Island, and ere long it became
noised around that there was IN the
party the champion swimmer of Color;.-
do. 1t was a proud moment for MI
| Eddy, but perhaps not proudcr than tina,
in which. attired in his yellow bathing
suit. he issued from the bath house and
| walked maiestically down the pebbly
beach toward the raging surf. With q
wild snort. Mr.. Eddy plunged into the
seething pillows, and at once commence
ed a series of antics and pranks that
were absolutely bewildering. He was
Just about to execute that acrobatic aria
whereby his head and his heels would
change places, when he felt something
sharp and Shiny and cold seize him by
his left big toe and begin pulling ham
out into deeper water. Mr.. Eddy gave
a kick in the hope of shaking off his I'M
known assailant, but the biting and
| pulling continued-in fact, the unknown
assailant refused to be shaken off. The
awful truth then flashed upon Mr.. Eddy
that he lad been attacked by an octo
pus. The octopus is the most rayenous
and cruel of natural monsters. 1t coils
about its prey. sucks the juices from the
mangled mass of pulp, ana finally leaves
| the dry and quiyering corpse in purple
| shreds for the fishes to nibble at and the
tides to toss hither and thither until no
remnant remains All this horrifying
! truth passed through Mr.. Eddy's mind
| with the velocity of an electric current.
| Mr.. Eddy is strong man. and when we
saw he struggled fiercely to regain the
| surface of the sea, we would have the
reader duly impressed with the magni-
| tude of that struggle. The octopus
| pulled hard, but with Mr. Eddy it was
| case of life and death, and it was en-
tirely to Mr. Eddy's credit that he pull
| ed tritie harder than the octopus.
While thus battling Mr.. Eddy was
| again drawn under the water and he
then thought his last hour had come.
| His past life went like a momentary PAN
Drama before his mind, but there was
| nothing in it to occasion him remorse.
| Should he suffer himself to be carried off
and devoured by dirty, soulless octo-
| pus, an inappreclative, pleDian cuttle-
| fish? No, he would die rather than be
| slain by such an ignoble reptile! Yet he
| felt he was growing weaker and weak
er, an awful chilliness swept up and
down his veins and his brain seemed to
reel. He made another heroic attempt
to rise to the surface. The octopus
chung to him like grim death.
Help! help! help"' shrieked Mr.. Eddy
once more. and then he lapsed into I'M
| consciousness
Mr.. Eddy was lying in life-boat
when he came to his senses; and strong
men were chafag his benumbed limbs
and pouring brandy down his throat.
Thank Heaven, l am savedn' he
| murmured. ''But where is the octopus?"
There said the captain of the life
boat. pointing to the insatiate monster
that writhed in the agonies of death near
| the hawser main-sail of the larboard
watch.
Mr.. Eddy looked at the hideous crea-
ture. 1t was soft-shell crab.-Den-

An Iowa Romance,

A case of romance in real life, to a
small degree, and another proof of
woman's devotion, has just transpired.
Three years ago Richard Crossley. a
young man of %, left England to seek
his fortune in this country, leaving be-
hind him Miss Ethel Etheridge, to whom
he was engaged. the marriage to take
place rs soon rs he had provided a
home. Coming west. he soon estab-
lished himself in business in Missouri
Valley, Iowa. Six weeks ago he wrote
to his betrothed, and last week there
came to him cablegram that ''she was
coming" A few days more and anoth-
er message came that the ship had ar
rived in America with its, to him, pre-
ciOus freight. As fast as steam and
rails could carry her she sped west
ward. Almost everybody in town turn
ed out to congratulate them. She had
travelled 5000 miles, Drawing wind and
waves, steam and rails, that he might
claim her as his own.
