FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Few QuestIona.


To he Editor OF EVENING JOURNAL.
Judging from the wall that has gone
up over "Veritas letter In the JOURNAL
it must have touched somebody in ten.
der spot. "Yeritas" knows whereof he
speaks and is not playing a game Of bluff
His opinions are backed by the true Re
pubicans Of Kent county.
Where do you find the true Republi-
canism in any county in this stateY In
the men who stand by the party in ad-
versity as well as in prosperity, or in
those who are only Republicans when the
party is on topg
Does a true Republican oppose making
out ticket when his party has chance
Of successg Did not Mr. Massey do sol
Would true Republican express his
Indifference as to the success Of his party
/ in the statel
Has not Mr.. Massey done 50 openly for
yearsl
Has that man the interests at heart,
who when asked for his aid in obtaining
an appropriation to clean out our creeks
would say unhesitatingly: II would not
care If every creek in the State Of Delaw
are was filled up. Has not Mr.. Massey
said this2
Yea, verify ~ ''yeritas" is not thai
sort of a Republican. VERITAs.

PROPOSED GLUE FACTORY.
Protected new Enterprise by the Morocco
Manufacturers Exchange.

Projected new Enterprise by the Morocco
Manufacturers Exchange.
The Morocco Exchange of this city held
an important meeting last night, IN the
parlors of the Clayton House. John q.
Baker, president of the Exchange pre-
sided. There was a full attendance OF
the morocco manufacturers of the city.
The business of the evening was the
consideration of proposed factory for
the manufacture of a glue and for the
washing of plastering hair. 1t is pro-
posed to have the projected factory CO.
operative concern managed by the mo-
rocco men of the city After full dis
cussion Messrs. w. V. Bond, J. Parke
Postles and Charles Baird were
appointed committee to inquire into the
cost and location of plant and supply of
material. This committee will report at
a meeting to be held in the near future.
Mr.. Bond is taking steps to get all the
information he can in regard to the
manufactured article. 1t has been sug-
gested that If the factory is started here
by the Wilmington Exchange, the New
York and Philadelphia Morocco Exchanges
may take stock init. Itwould thus become
an establishment of national Importance
John g. Baker, the president OF the
Wilmington Exchange, has offered tbs
use of q lot of ground on which to start
the plant. The plot is at the. foot Of
Seventh street, on the Brandywine The
situation is excellent; there is plenty OF
water, an important factor, and the
factory will be situated where the un
pleasant fnmes will not annoy anyone.
The refuse of the morocco factories Is
what is used in the manufacture of glue
and plastering hair. The price of that
portion of the refuse that is used for glu
has steadily decreased, while the price Of
glue has remained the same. The mo
rocco men are therefore considering th'
establishment of this factory in self.de

Speaking of pictures, why Is 1t that

fhink about it viii know that the dis,
tinction is made, and nobody will find
tteasy TO explain the inconsistency. II
y safe to say that a nude figure can
mt be found among the paintings IN

than the cuts in the physiologies that
the young folks study in school. On
the other hand, books are read by n
family that are not only full OF vile
inuuendo and calculated 10 give an
unhealthful stimulus 10 the magma
ton of the reader, but which have the
purpose of undermining the very
foundations of the home.
Indeed, there seems 10 be a genuine
craze for books Of this kind. The
most valuable advertisement that a

can scarcely supply the demand.
Memphis is scarcely so eager for liter

here. They are the outcroppings OF
depraved minds which feed upon the
vices and meannesses of u nature,

A little oves five years agoa Spring
field man in Paris found a former
Springfield girl in nihuence as the
morpanatic wife of Ferdinand III, the
ex-king of Portugal. she received him
kindly and inquired particularly after
several of her former mates in this
city. The story of her life was familiar
to Tilly Hayes and his sister, now
travelling in Europe, and while in Lis
bon recently their cards were present
ed 20 the Condessa d'Edla, as she is now
known. The countess appointed an
hour for a visit, and received her
American friends very cordially, as a
letter states. To quote by permission:
I'VE enjoyed u visit very much.
The exterior of the house or building
where she lives is not at all progresses
ing; we would call it shabby; but
they all seemed TO be the same.
"The drawing DON where she re-
ceived us was handsomely furnished
in modern style. She expressed herself
as being rather DESTROYS of returning
to the States TO live, and should doubt
le1 do so after her business matters
r settled here. She says society is
dull, and after the death of her hus-
band she has gone out but little" This
is Elise Hensler, who thirty-ive years
ago was the little daughter OF Conrad
Hensler, atailor, whose shop and house
were in a humble location on Stock
bridge street. She and her sister,
Louise, used to attend the Sunday
school at the South church. then on
Bliss street, and sing in children's en-
tertainments in old Hampden Hall,
along with other little folks who have
grown up and settled down here as the
heads Of families. The Hensler fam
lily moved TO Boston for the musical
education Of the girls, and Elise went
abroad, where she had career as an
opera singer till her marriage. Louise
