where the press ia in daily operation. 1t
is triumph of mechanical skill, and its
achievements are little short of modern
wonder.
The energy and activity requisite in
newspaper work these days, make neces.
saFy the employment Of every maobine,
device or appliance by which the mechsn-
ioal features of the work can be performed
within the shortest possible space Of time.
The saving of an hour in the printing
gives that much more time to news gath.
ering, and enables the paper to more Of
feotively cover It's entire field. The value
of this hour or more can only be appre-
oiated in the offi,es of newspapers, where
the gathering of news Is carried on, and
to every one in position to estimate the
advantages thus derived, the great bene-
fits are at once and stfikinely apparent,
To EVERY EVENING this closing hour OF
the busy day is all important, and the
readers Of this paper will thoroughly sp.
probate this great bit OF enterprise, which
Is achieved OF far greater expense than
has ever BEEN known In connection with
journalism In Delaware. An hour addi-
tional which may be employed In gather
ing and editing matters of news means
great deal in we'll organized newspaper
office. II gives resurvey Of the ontire
news sphere, and q regarnering Of the
nuggets Of information. With its staff Of
local workers, corps Of correspondents
covering the Peninsula, and through its
specisl Geographic connections with the
Associated Press covering the sntirs con-
tinent and Europe, EVERY EVENING is
now, aided by IFS new mechanical appli-
pnees. enabled to reflect the busy days
history OF the civilized world, and to
serve IL to its patrons, readily and at
tractively, with their supper. Nothing
further need be added to illustrate the
development Of newspaper making In this
State nor to illustrate tho advancement
Of journalism, with the view Of best
serving the interests of the community.

Women sunrasist. in England.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, cleverest of New
York business women, discussed some
points of her recent sojourn in Europe.
She met there all sorts of people, under
all sorts of circumstances. She happened
to mention the fact that she was brought
in contact with number of women who
devote their lives to the struggle for
woman suffrage in England. She WIS
asked how this set of women compare
with their sisters in the United States.
She said: ''They are quite as earnest and
indomitable, and fire away at parliament
as regularly as our women do at the
legislatures. The only points of differ
ence which I observed were these: The
woman suffrage champions whom met
in England were ladies charming in
manner and fair to look upon, and,
strange as it may seem, ladies who took
considerable interest in gentlemen and
their society. Here, you may have OBJ
served. they are not. always charming,
are seldom comely, and, as rule, abhor
the society of men except such as openly
espouse their theories. New York Sun.

Sham Fight in tho Crimca.

The Russians recently had sham
fight at Sebastopol in the Crimea. The
ships anchored in the roads as were the
allies in the Crimean war. sending a
force ashore to assault the works. The
landing was made under heavy fire
from the marine guns, and was replied
to from the old Redan and the new works
by what is described as a terrible cross
fire concentrated, point by point, on the
line of the advance from the sea. The
Wochenblatt says that, while these guns
remained in play, it is hard to see how
such a maneuver as that of the Anglo
French armies could be repeated, even at
night, for such is the disposition of the
electric search lights that even the dark
ness of night would scarcely prove a suf-
ficient cloak for such an adventure. 1t
does not say, however, what might hap
pen if those operating the lights were
shelled out.-Scientific American.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Hon. L. G..
Johnson had hearing to-day before the
senate committee on territories, of
which Platt, of Connecticut, is chair
man. The full committee was present.
and Col. Thompson and Col. Gale were
also present. Mr.. Johnson spoke for an
hour and a half, and reviewed the
division question and the circumstances
which led to the calling of the Aberdeen
convention, and told them what the
convention was and what it represented !;
showing them why they should ignore
that ready-made state, and give the peo-
pie chance, under restrictions of the
law, to make constitution, and dis
cuSsing law points involved. In the
same committee meeting CullOm and
Henderson expressed themselves as
being well pleased and well informed
upon the Dakota question. The entire
committee had their eyes opened and
evinced great interest in the argument,
ordering the argument printed as part
of their record. The committee seems
inclined to fair treatment of the mat
ter, and favorable action. too.
