In conclusion the commission repeats
what is said III its last report, that in
this matter the government and con-
gress SHOULD take no backward, or even
wavering step, but should continue the
active and vigorous enforcement of the
laws, and the improvement of them by
the amendment of such as would make
them more effective. and by enacting
such other laws as experience may
show to be wise and more efficacious to
accomplish the desir ed end"

A NEW MEDIC -NAL sPRLN
Patrick Magarlty Has an Excellent One
tu One Of His Fields.

hIF1GA HAAEAEAiy as an Excellent One
ia One Of His Fields.
Patrick Magsrity, member Of the
Board Of Education, has q spring on his
ground, which rivals, if not surpasses,
the Weir spring for its medicinal proper
ties.
Several doctors and medical men have
examined the water, and several of them
have given as their opinion, that the
water is the best, as a medicine, in the
state. They have also recommended the
water to patients as a curative agent.
The water from the spring appears
very much like other water, but for its
great clearness and coldness. Even on
very hot days the water is cold and a
drink Of 1t is very refreshing and invigo
rating.
The spring is located In a field belong
ing to Mr. Magarity and up to short
time ago was thought no better than
any other water, but in some way 1t was
found that it possessed valuable quail
ties. Mr.. Magarity has had pretty
house built over the water.
Among the persons who have been
benefited by the water is Mrs. Henry G
Banning, wife of the president of the
National Bank of Delaware. Mrs. Ban
ming sends regularly for the water each
day and her health is much improved by
it.
Mr.. Ragarity makes no charges for the
water and it is probable that many other
people will also be benefited.
The water rises very rapidly in the
spring and large quantity flows off. 1t
will soon have no opportunity to flow of
as the number Of people who are using it
is increasing daily.

sToNE,s WITHDRAWAL.
An fnteres'iny story watch Cannot Be

An interastfnT story Waich GsRno1 BE
Told ia Family Fapsr.
The story of how George w. Stones
friends called on tmaster-General
Wansmaker and said things about II. q.
Eahaffy which made him declare that
Nahaffy should never be the postmaster
Of Wilmington, is very interesting, but
ths EVENING JOURNAL. being n respect
able family paper, cannot print the de-
tails of the story. 1t Is not proper even
to intimate the character of the stories
which Influenced the Postmaster General
against Mr. Mahaffy.
When Senator Higgins ascertained
that the Wilmington delegation had
called on Mr. Wanamaker without first
obtaining his permission he was mad,
very mad, yea blasphemously mad. Hav-
ing no other victim he sacrificed George
w. Stone
He intimated to Mr.. Stone In way
and manner to leave no doubt in Stones
mind that he, Stone, WAS not prosper
ous candidate for any Federal office
whatever, during the Senator'S term Of
Office or his natural life That, OF course,
caused the beautiful letter of withdrawal
for the good of the party" from Mr.
Stone, which has hitherto been inexplic-
able.
On account Of the deep interest the
community takes Ia the men who were
engaged in the struggle for the post
Office and marshalship spoils, the EVEN
ING JOURNAL would prefer TO tell the
whole story, but Republican local poll
tics is in such condition that 1t Is i'm
possible TO explain the moving
causes Of many appointments and
disappointments in a respectable family
paper.
This resulted in switching off Mahaffy
to the marshalship, which he has just
now obtained; it is not likely that any
other member OF the Cabinet would mani
fest the same scrnples that governed the
Postmaster General But It will be an
uneomplimentary commentary on the
administration, that the man who Is not
good enough for the post Office is good
enough for the marshalship.

ORPHANS COURT.
Hearing OF the MoGrenera Case Re

Hearing OF the RIoGrenera Case RE-
sumed.-Ohcial Evidence Produced.
The Orphans Court sat al 10 o'clock
to-day, Judge Grubb presiding. The
case of Mary Me0renera, who petitions
for portion OF her husbands estate.
now ii possession Of Catharine McGren-
era, her sister-in-law, was resumed.
The defence seeks to prove that the pc
titioner forfeited her right to a portion
of the estate by living in adultery with
man named Andrews at different places
in Philadelphia from 1879 to 1888.
Mr.. Hoey. clerk in st Johns Orphan
Asylum, and representative of that insti.
tuition was called to produce certain doc
uments, official records Of the institution
which went to show that child named
Robert Andrews was placed by his
mother, Mary Andrews, in the custody
of the officials Of st. Johns Orphan
Asylum, such records containing a deela.
ration under the signature of Mary An.
drews, that said child was her son. Mr..
Davis objected to the production of the
records, on the ground that the secretary
in whose presence the declaration
was made, was not present and
the witness knew nothing Of
the authenticity Of the signature
Mr. Salisbury proposed to prove the
authenticity of the signature By a com
parison with other signatures which
have been admitted as genuine. and
made subsequent to the one under con
sideration. Mr.. Davis said such could
only be proved by experts Joseph
Jackson Pierce swore that he had made
a study Of penmsnship since 1871. The
signatures before him resembled
each other in height, slant.
freedom and general outline and
he believed they were the same.
He was cross-examined by Mr. Davis
about some discrepancy in the signatures,
but said such discrepancies might be the
result Of writing a signature more care
fully, at one time than at another. He
believed they were the same.
The court adjourned for recess at
noou, but will reassemble at 3 o'clock to
hear the evidence of experts from the
other side.

Philadelphia Record.
The Mckinley bill provides that
articles imported for the use Of the gov.
ernment shall no longer be exempted
from the payment Of custom duties.
This shows the extent to which the idea
Of protection for the sake Of protec.
tion" has taken possession Of Re.
publican statesmen The title Of
the Mckinley bill is "a bin
to reduce the revenue and
equalize duties on imports, and for other
purposes. What a grotesque way it is
OF reducing revenue to make Uncle Sam
pay duty on goods which he finds Il
necessary to purchase in foreign markets
Il may be possible, however, that "re
ducing the revenue" according to the Re-
publican plan consists merely in spending
the money in the Treasury.
