The following caustic letter was is
sued by the Department OF Elections yes
terday:
OFFIoE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTIONS,
Wilmington. Del, June IL, 1889.
Charles NJ Curtis, Esq.
DEAR SIR Having made thorough in
vestigation of sundry cases OF alleged IL
legal voting at the election held on June
1, 1885, we make the following state
ment Of the facts as they appear by the
official records:
John ]. Cox, Ninth ward. Mr. Haw-
kins says that he Cox voted on tax
receipt of Patrick Neary's paid in 1888.
Mr.. Mahaffy says that he (Cox) was re-
turned as an error in March, 1889, for
taxes of 1888.
The original assessment at the court
house shows that he was assessed In
1888. Collector Neary's duplicate shows
that John J. Cox's taxes for 1888 were
paid and accounted for TO the Levy Court,
and that he was not returned as an error.
In this connection II is well to state that
the collectors duplicate constitutes the
original error list as allowed by the Levy
Court the names returned as errors
being stricken through with an ink mark
by authority and direction Of the com
mittee OF the Levy Court at the time OF
the settlement with the collector.
John Carter, Ninth ward. The charge
made is the same as that against Cox
The name Of John Carter appears twic,
upon the official records In the first
instance the taxes were paid and he wa:
not returned as an error; in the second
instance the name was returned as al
error. this being the only way in which
the collector could be relieved from the
payment Of a tax not collected or which
had been assessed twice. Patrick Don
ely, Ninth ward. The charge made is
the same az against Carter, and the rec
ords disclose the same state Of facts rela
tive to him as they do to John Carter
Patrick Dougherty, Ninth ward
Charged with having voted on tax re
ceipt for 1883 and not being assessed fol
that year. The name does appear on the
assessment for 1888. The space for the
"D's" being full this name with Others
was carried forward and appears on an
other page of said assessment. The col
lectors duplicate also shows that the ta'
was paid and accounted for.
Mattson Beale. Ninth ward. Charge,
with having voted on tax receipt fo
/ 1888 and the statement made that he wa
not on the assessment in 1887. was on Il
1888 and was returned as an error IL
March, 1889, for the taxes of 1888. Tn
records show that he was not returned a
an error in March in 1889 for the taxes o
1888. but on the contrary, paid his take
for said year and received his receipt.
Samuel Burton, Ninth ward. .-Th
charge made is the same as against Johi
j. Cox and the records disclose the sam
state Of facts relative TO him as to Johl
J. Cox.
You having submitted these as typ
cal cases, we suggest that hereafte
a more careful examination be mad
before complaints are lodged with th
department, otherwise innocent person
may be subjected to the annoyance an
humiliation of an arrest.

The Pope's Simple Tastes.

Leo XIII, has q prediction for I'M

be lit in any of the eight roons Of the
Vatican which he inhabits. These
rooms are, with the execution Of the
library. snail and low, and the Pops's
habits are so simple that he does not
even require dining room. but takes
his meals either in his bedroom or il
the library The other day the bed
room was moved to higher floor, says
the Pail Mali Gazette, az the room in
which the Pope had hitherto slept was
converted into a private chapel. Tn
one OF the officials remarking that the
upper rooms would be too hot for habi-
tation during the summer months, the
i'ope quietly replied, ''then shall have
my bed put into the library" Cardi--
nal Lavigerie, by the way, has brought
over FROM Africa two graceful gazelles
as present to Leo XIII; they have
been housed in the corner Of the Vati-
can gardens, and the Pope never takes
his daily walk among the vines and che
shrubs, which he himself has imported,
without stopping in front Of the enclos-
ures, where the amin lis have become

to be distributed among her friends.
These mementoes were gifts from pre-
lates, priests, certificates and recluses
from al! parts of the world, some Of the
beads in the rosaries having been cary
ed centuries ago by old monks consign-
ed to voluntary Imprisonment. Be-
sides these beads, medals, crucifxes
aud pictures, she left superb specimens
of need!ework, hand wrought by nuns
from the converts Of France, Italy and
America, including bits of laos, hand
kerchiefs, Yeils. embroidered gloves,
caps, doylies, house and table linen and
cushions, scarfs, tapestries, robes and
draperies. Since her death letters of
condoleuce have poured in On her tam.

weighs heavily on the old soldier, who
has shut himself uc in his house, refus-
ing all callers but intimates and deny
ing himself all manner Of entertain

physician, who insists on his out door
