David Chandler,an honored and respected

is at present. Here he continued the busi-
ness for some years, and finally bought the
building No. 500 Market street, which he
rebuilt to meet the demands of his In
creased trade. In 1867 he sold out his bust
ness to John Muhlhausen, and retired to pri-
vate life, living in retirement until the time
of his death.
About Is years ago Mr.. Chandler, 10 con-
nection with G. P. johnson, bought the old
Indian Queen Hotel, corner of Fifth and
Market streets, selling 1t shortly after to
the banking corporation who erected the
present structure.
He was the holder OF large amount ol
Wilmington coal gas stock and also con
siderable amount of real estate.
Mr.. Chandler, was the son of Benjamin
Chandler, who, while on visit to the White
Mountains was lost, and his body was moi
discovered until year later, when the SNOW
had disappeared. Mr.. Chandler has all hii
life been an adherent to the faith of Pres
byterianism and an elder In tho Flrsl

"RoMANCE AND TRAGEDY OF PIONEER
LIFE" is series of dramas III prose.
1t gathers and relates the exploits OF
our national heroes. The characters
live and act. The material is gathered
from the wild, but not extravaganza, an
mails of frontier life. Every scene in
the book is true photograph fromMan
and Nature. The incidents are real.
They are sketched with dramatic
power which can be paralleled in no
other book devoted to the romance and
tragedy OF American adventure. The
author has precisely that kind OF fervor
which is requisite to make alive the
very pages wherein his characters are
marshaled for our interest. The book
conforms emphatically to the prime
conditions of narrative: it is interesting
and true. The interest is maintained
by the vigor and enthusiasm of the
treatment; the truth has been elected
by a careful culling and comparison Of
the various traditions, which are thus
given a new lease of life Royal Oc-
