Delaware, Vol. IS, Sec. 2, which would
be well for the Road Commissioners to
look at. As all public roads have been
made at the expense Of the county, and
the right-of-way obtained by payment
out of the county treasury. Why should
any railroad company undertake to use
and cross any public road until they have
obtained the permission of the Road Com
missioners and have paid TO the said
Road Commissioners just compensation
for the use Of the same? Why should
the citizens of the county pay for right
of-way for pablo roads for public use,
and then corporation of private individ-
uals come along and appropriate the use
of same public road to the use of and for
their private benefit, without first paying
proper compensation for the use of the
same? Respectfully, WIN. DEAN.

A Reluctant Explanation.

Your reporters seem to be lively sup.
porters of certain base ball club, the
captains of which has Newark, Del, for
his 2. 0. address. They certainly know,
or at least they ought to, that they can
not advance the interests of their own
team by running down others. The
Actiyes, even since have known them,
have been obiecting to newspaper reports
which reflect upon them, and yet unfriend-
ly reports concerning the Elkton team
seem very acceptable. They are lmpa-
tient if they think other people do the
some things of which they themselves are
guilty. Your account of our game was
not only unkind Ito visitors) but unjust.
In your account of the Dauntless game.
you wish that some near Maryland clubs
would take the hint and challenge the
Aclives. Now, everybody knows that in
Elkton we defeated the Actiyes by a
score of 21 10 z. When we visited
Newark for third game, they secured
battery, they said from Newport, but who
had considerable knowledge of Whining
ton baseball playing. At the game,
heard several Newark gentlemen say
that they hoped we would win because
they were afraid to play us with their
own men and your reporter doubtless
heard the same thing. l told the players
that we could defeat any local team from
Newark. They said we could not-foI

nevertheless they can get plenty of bets

challenged them twice since and made NJ

Wishes for Wealth.

II il the universal wish of every
man that they may became wealthy
without the least trouble, aud those
who are independent in life wish for
more. Among the poorer elasses this
@isa for more money is predominant.
There Ia a constant looking forward to
Lle time when their desires may be
gratified and the pleasures 10 be de.
rived iherefrom. Does This then bring
the NECESSARY happiness desired !? No.
There are bat few men coptented with
what they possess. bnt II constant wish
FOR more wealth. No man with any
limit to his wealth is satisfied ar hap
by with these limitations.
People who know the pangs OF hun.
ssr are more lively TO be impressed
with Glae idea of more money TO buy
food for daily sustenance than those
who wish e for luxury only. And
thus it is. No matter in what station
of life, from the highest 10 the lowest

for money to enable them TO secure q
relatively higher amount of enjoy
ment.

The greatest and purest enjoyment
comes TO man from a successful en-
counter with great difficulties. 1t is
not desirable nor even possible for man
to be tamely contented with what he
is already blessed, but TO face difficult

them, and in the inevitable take the
bitter as well as the sweet.
