Another Warning,

The sad experience OF an Ohio young
lady ought to serve as a warning TO all
romantic young girls who advertise "for
correspondents with a view to matri-
tnony," or who effect marriage engage.
ments with unknown men through the
medium OF matrimonial bureaus.
Mlss Ritter, a young lady OF high
standing in Pioneer, Ohio, is the latest
victim OF this so.called romantic method
OF securing husbands. Last week one
Z. W. Kent went to Pioneer and met
Miss Ritter unknown to her parents.
Kew. 6. II. Priddy was called upon and,
upon kent's producing the necessary
papers, married them. The couple then
went to :one Of the hotels and took a
room. In the morning the bride found
herself alone and deserted by her hus.
band, who left the hotel and livery bill
unpaid. Miss Ritter returned to her ia
TIERS home. On Thursday one Law
renee, q detective from Cleveland, came
to Bryan searching for Kent, who is
wanted for bigamy and grand larceny,
but found no clue to his whereabouts,
Kent and Miss Rite. correspondent for
some time he having learned her address
through the personal column in some
newspaper. 1t seems Kent correspond
cd with with many women, and married
them all, he having been married twice
in the last two weeks.
Such cases are not infrequent, and
young girls cannot be too careful how
they conduct themselves with reference
to newspaper advertisements of the
character mentioned. Acqunintances
formed by correspondence with men
whom they have never seen or heard of
before are lever desirable. A young
mar who advertises for a vile, or for
correspondence with young ladies, even
for the purpose OF harmless lirtation,"
should be looked upon with suspicion.
II be is worthy Of a woman's confidence
he does not have to advertise for it, and
only silly, thought!ess girls are caught
by him. In nearly every instance the
advertiser is q worthless ~adventurer
seeking for innocent victims, and girls
will save themselves from disgrace by
steering clear of him.

The statement furnished to Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper by Re.
porter. Crawford concerning tho Cleye.
land interview resolves the affair into n
question Of veracity between Mt. Craw-
ford and the ex.President. Mr.. Crawford
says his own reputation is as dear to him
us Mr.. Cleveland's can possiblybe to
him, aud asserts OH his honor that Mr..
Cleveland did use the language a,tribu.
ted to him in the interview, and q great
deal more besides; that much that was
omitted in tho World, was simply un.
printable in any respectable newspaper.
The great Democratic leaders converse.
tion, Mr.. Crawford says, was remarkable
for the amount Of profanity it contained.
Those who have the honor OF n per-
|. sonal acquaintance with ex-President
Cleveland, know that ho is given to tho
habit Of emphasizing his remarks in
private conversation by n liberal use OF
adjectives which do not look we'll in
print nor sound we'll coming from the
lips OF church member, but thcre-are
many great and good men OF whom the
same can be said. People who know
Mr.. Cleveland will not doubt that he did
make use Of the expressions quoted by
tho reporter, but nobody believes that
he intended that they should 90 in print
to shock the s~ensibilities OF the public,
before which he poses us a high toned
and diSniied gentleman. 1.-THE reporter
believed that tho ex-Prcsident desired
him to print all he said, he made the
mistake Of surprising the gentleman he
was interviewing was not averiable DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
Mr.. Cleveland committed an error
which is by no means an uncommon
one among public men. When talking
to newspaper reporters, knowing that
what they say is to be printed and read
by tho public, they are not always dis.
Greet in the usc oil terms. In the con.
yersation expressions arc made use Of
which are often unfit for print, or which,
II printed, would convey a more ex.
travagant meaning than the interviewed

THE editor of the Milford Chronicle
takes us severely to task for a little ed
itorial in our last issue that seemed to
touch him in a very tender place. We
have no controversy with Brother
Townsend for doubtless he feels bad
enough for getting on the other side in
opposition to his mature and expressed
convictions of few weeks gO,-"that
local matters should be settled by the
people of the locality, those who did
the work for the works sake having
alpOtential voice" Was he "imbecl"
then, and if so what changed him so
quick ? 1t looks very much as if the
editor of the Chronicle had a new col
lar placed around his neck, properly
labeled &c. Our editorial reference as
to the factional similarity of the two
political parties in Kent county was to
state a condition of things that is pat
ent, as we state other matters of pub
lie interest, and not to discuss them. We
will say this however that in looking
at the battered condition of editor
Townsend after he emerged from the
Milford post Office fight, that we are
astOnished at his assumption that all
the editors of Kent County are imbe-
Gil and inexperienced but himself and
ought to die and leave him the dis
seminator of wisdom.

All About a Banana.

A man named Powell from beyond
CLAYTON was in town Saturday after
noon and had imbibed just enough to
put him in don't care" demeanOr, a
very different one from that of being
"real tight when he ordinarily is quiet.
After bothering Jones for some time,
who was putting the new fountain in
position, letting on to know a great
deal more about it than Jones did,
though perhaps he never saw one be-
fore, he walked Il few steps to Carsins
fruit stand and with the greatest sang
froid imaginable, pulled one of the
best bananas and turned and looked
at the keeper defnately while he pro-
ceeded to devOur it. This being done
he as cody turned and started to walk
away without as much as saying "by
your leave" Powell's nOnchdldnt mir
in thus packing up and moving off
with his little circus, it was thought
had gone far enough, and policeman
Grant, who differed from most police
man in being near at hand when wan
ted, was put in charge of the case.
Powell didn't know what he had to do
with it, but Grant insisted that he had
All ~ NO Will H. lItli ONtll OCGdllC
stubborn and wouldn't do anything un-
less he could have it all his own way.
Then officer Grant called Joe Cummins,
the other "cop," who is mostly near at
hand when danger is threatened, and
between the two by main force one
pulling and the other pushing, this 200
pounds and more of adipose matter
was safely landed in the lookup. The
officers were not so long catching their
breath afterwards and getting ready
for other duties, but the prisoner had
a good long time to rest, his reflections
after a good long nap, being broken
only by the episode of devouring
prison fare, which he really seemed to
relish
Finally Monday morning came and
when the sun was climbing we'll on his
way to the zenith, officer Grant went
and opened the cell with remark,
well 'Jim," Monday morning has
come. YES" said the prisoner. with
a sigh that seemed to come all the way
from his diaphram, "but it was a
mighty long while coming"
Everybody was disposed to treat
him as kindly as possible Alderman
Budd gave him hearing. accepted his
promise to wait with him until the
latter part of the week for small fine
imposed, and Powell left intimatng
that it might be some time before he
came to Smyrna again to get banana
if they made rs much fuss over it a.
that.

1t is stated by persons who were at
Woodland Beach Sunday that party
of men numbering between one and
two dozen went with two keggs of
beer and other drinks and set up q bar
in grove near that place. As a free
participation in the stimulents seemed
to be their only business and idea of
using the day, it followed as natural
result that they become both hilarious
and pugnacious. Later in the day
they went TO the beach and while
there offered an insult to a lady who
was in company with Mark Scout, of
Smyrna Landing, who as her pro.
tectOr, had to resent it. This led to q
fight in which Mark was severely pun
ished by the gang, seeing which, an
excursionist from Chester whose only
INTEREST in it was to see fair play, in.
terfeFed, the crowd turning on him,
the Chester man knocking them right
and left. Observing they still were
not satisfied, he proposed that
they retire to the grove where a ring
was formed inside of which he stepped
telling them to send forth their best
man. This was done, to be knocked
out as soon as he entered, followed by
another and another, until the sixth
had been floored then he proposed
that the whole gang come and he
would lick them all at once, but they
had had enough, and didn't accept the
challenge,
The whole thing was disgraceful,
and the wonder is that so many men OF
such a stamp could be found in Dover.
as some of them claimed to be tons.
It is stated that certain hotel and
lawyer had much to do with getting
up the party,
chagrined at such conduct, and his
first purpose was to nave al the par
iustice but he has decided to take an
other course intended to prevent
their coming to the ground in the fu-
ture.
