A year or two ago people residing nea

rorizea by stories OF wild animal of un
known species, which appeared ut nigh
and emitted wild yells similar to the loud
crying Of child. The cries were attrib 4
ted to wild cat or pabther which roamed
a. will IN the woods OF the neighborhood.
Some OF the residents of the local ty say
that It stlll lives. and Frank Harm, who
claims he had an alarming meeting with

SENATOR CHANDLER has presented

Roach, and II 10 hoped that it will

OF alleged structural weakness. The
work done by this vessel during the
past three years shows that these ale

Jealousy, and wholly without any
foundation in fact. The Cleveland
administration determined to crush
John Roach becau7e he was Repub.

the campaign fund in 1884, aud it not

DAY after day habitual drunkards
are arraigned before Judge Bail and
sent to New Castle jail for sixty days,
but in every instance it seems impossi.
Bile TO find out where they obtain their
liquor. The majority OF these men
are known TO every saloon keeper in
town, but still there are men in the
business who are base enough TO sell
10 them, as long as they have money
to pay for what they get These men
should be ferreted out. and not only
fined, but their licenses taken away
from them, as they are not fit persons
10 be In the business. There are
liquor dealers who endeavor by every
means In their power 10 obey the law
and live up to Its provisions, and those
men should not bring stigma on all
1t is impossible to get these POOR
wretches to tell where they get their
liquor, for although they may be lost
TO all sense of honor In everything
else, they will not inform on those
who supply them with liquor. The
only way to get at these people is, fer
the officers to keep sharp look out,
and secure the evidence TO convict
them.

WE AGAIN call the attention of the
ftreet and Sewer Commission to the
condition ot the streets IN the Eastern
section OF the city, and especially 10
that OF Poplar street from Fourth
street, aud Walnut street from
Seventh These streets are disgrace
to the city, as they are not as good as
ordinary country roads. 1t is impossi
BILE Tor heavy loaded teams to pass
over them, aud ii is heavy strain tor
horse to pull ton OF coal along
tither OF these streets. There are other
streets in this part of the city that are
iullv as bad as these, and IS the people
OF that section pay their propurtiouate
share OF the taxes, they justly think
that they should receive some benefit
in return. There has not been any
work worth speaking about done be-
low French street since the Street and
Sewer Commission was created, and
property holders as well as tenants arc
wondering how long they will be
obliged to pay taxes for improvement,
IN part OF the city which is NOT OF tAC
slightest benefit TO them.

LONGEVITY AND SLEEP.
According To Mr.. Gladstone a Close Con-
nection Exists B@tw cen Them.


Not long ago Mr.. Gladstone at
tributed his sound health 10 the great
gift of sleep" He declared that he
always got seven hours and sometimes
eight. He never took his worries to
bed. but dismissed them promptly at
the hour of retiring. Napoleon could
get along very well on three or four
hours sleep in the twenty-four. But
he did not reach old age. His captiy-
ite might have had something to do
with shortening his life. There have
been few great workers who have
been poor sleepers, But very few of
these ever reached extreme old age.
Horace Greeley could drop of to sleep
in church or in a railway ear with
wonderful facility. He had the gift of
sleep. but not the gift OF Diminishing
his worries. II ever a man was wor-
ried out Of his life because of political
events, it was probably Horace Gree
ley.
Daniel Webster said on hearing of
his defeat for a Presidential nominal
ton, that he should sleep as soundly
as ever. But it was we'll known that
the defeat of his Presidential aspira-
tons embittered his closing years. He
might have had the gift OF sleep but
he did not have the gift OF dismissing
fruitIess worries. John Bright was a
poor sleeper and admitted that he took
his cares and anxieties to bed.
There is some satisfactory evidence
that the duration OF human life is
greater than it was a half century ago
Dr. Todd, president of the Georgia
Medical Society, affirms that mortuary
statistics confirm this theory. Thus
the average of life in France is now
