PEOPLE lose respect for Legislators and
the legislators lose dignity when they do
not attend to their duties. They are sent
to attend to the peoples business and
that is what they are paid for. They are
not expected to angle for public esteem
nor to delay and hamper necessary legis.
iation for partisan ends The Republi.
cans caucus every few days aud never
seem to give their attention to any mea-
sure at all except as it relates TO the
party. They have taken purely parti-
san and caucus-dictated action on every
subject that has been under discussion.
Now they have held caucus and dictated
a bin for calling constitutional conven.
tion which promises them some partisan
advantage. They seem to have forgotten
that they are Delawareans in attempting
TO legislate for Republicanism and king
dom come.

Last Evening az the household of Faith
Building The Receipts.
Maud Muller on a summers day
taxed the meadow sweet with hay.r
Such was the couplet on letter re-
ceived by a young man at the Maud
Muller tea last evening The tea was
gwen by the Young Peoples Mission
Band of st. Paul's M. f. Church, in the
Household Of Faith Building.
The auditorium of the building was
arranged in rustic harmony, and included
post office and lemonade stand decor
ated with wheat stalks besides large
number of refreshment or "tea" tables.
The post Office, in charge of Miss Anna
Beard, assisted by o corps of efficient
clerks, was the centre of attraction.
Many were the fortunes told and maud
Muller's" knowledge Of the destiny Of the
patrons ran in strange lines. For in.
stance, the pale young man referred to
above, received the following:
"The girl you love does not love you
Sad indeed but true
Leave her; find a truer heart
Who will love you till death doth part"
The young man, presumably, is hunt.
ing a truer heart. He also received a
loving missive from Cloverville, to which
he responded.
Anyone whose fate was out Of Joint
might drown his sorrows in slipping the
juice of lemons, which was dipped out of
an improyised, yet never drained well, in
charge Of Miss Gertrude Harman His
bitter grief not yet being assuaged, he
might adjourn to a tea table, where
oysters, chicken salad ETC., could be
ordered at reasonable prices.
The refreshments were all the more
satisfactory by being served by hand
some young ladies in tasteful rustic cos
tunes brunettes and blondes, with dark
eyes and bright eyes, in pink and
blue dresses.
Music was furnished by Noble r. Had
ley, piano; Morris Ruthrauff. cornet; S.
Norris Fogg violin. On the first night
the gross receipts were 361; last night
they were $l20 in round numbers. The
net proceeds will reach 800, which will
be devoted to the Mission Band.
Towards the end of the affair last night
the fun loving visitors, having drank all
Of Mand Mullers tea, began to appro-
pirate the decorations for the purpose Of
tickling their companions.
