The Morning News has not straight.
ened up since the campaign. 1t got into
the habit Of lying and cannot stop sud
denly. It appears this morning with a
cnriously inconsistent story, ststing In
one place that New Castle county is
practically bankrupt" that there is an
empty treasury" and then that
the several collectors owe the county
treasury a balance Of $15i,C6s. AS
will be seen those two statements
do not support each other If the News
had more knowledge of finance il would
know that county cannot be bank
rupted, that in any event no corporation
OF any sort could become bankrupt be

went to protest. The matter which the
News makes such fuss about Is OK
planned in our local columns. A collec-
tors sureties gave their note for al, 600
70 the county and then
failed to pay It at maturity.
They paid $500 and are still held under
bond for the balance. The story Of the
News is similar to those stories Of frauds
In Sussex aud to the story that Robert
J. Reynolds was defauIter. They are
campaign cries; they are food for the
readers Of the paper which does not ap-
peal TO virtue, good sense or good morals.
It is fool who could be convinced that
this rich county could be bankrupted By
$4,000 balance on a note due to the
county and secured by real estate. The
News forgets that the State OF Delaware
has never lost dollar by public officials
who were put in Office by the Democratic
party.

How Women Go Shopping.

But 1t is when fair woman goes a-shop-
ping that she becomes least admir-
able, says Oscar Fay Adams, in
North American Reuielo. Then her
hand is raised against every woman
who crosses her path. From the moment
she pushes open the swinging doors of the
first retail shop she enters, and lets them fiy
back into the face OF the woman behind her.
till she reaches her home again, she has laid
herself open at every turn 10 the charge OF
Dad manners She has in her progress made
tired clerks spend hours in taking down
goods simply for her amusement, when she
has not the smallest intention of purchasing
from them. She has made audible comments
upon "the stupidity and slowness of those
shopgirls.' She has swept off from loaded
shop counters with her draperies
more, than than, one one easily damaged
pick up and replace. She has jostled
against other women and met their indig-
nant looks with a stony, not to say insolent
stare. She has needlessly blocked the way
when others wished Co pass her. She has
carried her closed umbrella or sunshade at
an angle that was a perpetual menace to
any woman who came near her. She has
put up her glass and stared haughtilv
through it at the gown Of the woman next
her at the bargain counter. In her shrill,
penetrating voice she has discussed in the
most public places gossip rejecting more or
less injuriously upon other people. She has,
in short, done very little that she should
have done, and very, very much that she
ought not to have done; yet she returns
from 1t all with serener conscience than a
medieval saint coming home to the convent
after day particularly well filed with
meritorious deeds. She will tell you COM
placently that a man can never learn so
shop like woman. And man can never be
too thankful for mis- inability in this direc-
ton.

Insurance. for Wonsn

The question Of insuring the lives Of wo-
men is exciting great deal Of interest jus;
now. The women claim that every priv
ilege and advantage granted 70 men in this
progressive age should likewise be granted
TO women, says the Pittsburgh Leader.
A well-known insurance agent said the
other day:
I'VE insure women. but we have not
/ made it the feature that it could bs made.
! We have not sought for women as we have
J for men. On account Of the physical risks
4 which beset women we tax her s. addi-
/ tIonsl for each 81 600 Of Insurance There
is prospectively large business ahead for
this line Of insurance. and if women agents
\ would WORK II up it would not be long until
women would meet on an equality with
| men in the insurance business. We do not
limit our women who insure to the bread
winners, bit we can show by our books
many women OF wealth. Neither do va
limit age. We nave girls of Is,
and we have elderly ladies. We
have three young Vas. ar students for
$4,000 each, ard two married women | can
recall insured for 100000 each. The addi-
tional Tax on wOmen's insurance is retained
IN some cases, because it is not generally
accepted Vet that a woman's life has a none
tary value. And yet the woman who is a
partner IN her husbands business, the widow
who supports her family, the daughter who
keeps the wolf from the door, certainly has
a monetary value. and il ought to be
recognized. To remedy the evil l would
recommend good trained women agents to
handle this department. 1t is q field of
work not yet improved by the women
toilers of the city, and ought TO pay well
Single women $40 extra on every

risks. Their health is not reliable. They

PATENTED DENTAL OPERATIONS
Dentists Hold That Instruments Alona
Sks.s.ii

Should Be Patentable.
The Central Dental Ass )ciaJion had a
meeting on Monday night in Newark, saws
the New York Sun, and w. F. Rehfuss of
Philadelphia read a paper entitled. 'sTbe
Jurisprudence of Dental Patents and the
Legal Interpretation of Claims of Patents
Granted for Artificial Crowns and BRIDGE
Work" The author said the great number
OF patents threatened the welfare of dem
tistry as liberal profession, aud would
endanger its progress. The subject of
patent methods, be said, was peculiar to
dentistry OF all the healing arts, and dem
tlstry was of necessity forced to harbor and
submit to such degrading systems. More
than 100 patents had been granted. he said
Tor m odes of operating, and the whole num-
Der would exceed 600 if patents for instru
ments were included. The author contended
ohat dental operations should not be pat
ented, but that instruments to perform the
operations were legitimately patentable.
Ills paper evoked considerable discussion
and DIR. Stockton said that the Dental
Crown Company had patented nearly
everything pertaining to crown work. even
processes to which the company had no
rgnt. The patents were granted, he said.
because the examiners were unaware thar
the processes hal been in use all over the
country for many years. He said that n
Dentists Protective Association had been
formed in Chicago for the purpose of
guaranteeing individual members protec-
ton in the use of old methods. irrespectiv va
OF these patents. Several local dentists paid
damages to the patentees some years ago.
and have since been working under licenses
since the protective association has been
formed, and it is said to include nearly all
OF the reputable practitioners of the country.
they have ignored the claims of the tooth
crown company. They are row practising
methods which they believe they can sus,
tain in court
IL was the design Of the meeting to enlist
recruits IN the protective association. and
committee OF ten, headed by DR.. Wat
kins OF Montclair, was appointed to bring
the matter before the profession Of the
country, and then before congress. that laws
may be passed preventing the granting of
patents for dental operations.

Does Calamity DecaY2

There is decay Of gallantry. The ladies
say so. The gentlemen admit it. The news
papers lament it. This decay of gallantry
is not wholly to be lamented, says the
Holyoke Transcript. Gallantry of the old
school was a very curious thing indeed.
1t kissed lady's hand, but refused to allow
that hand, however skillful, TO make itself
useful. 1t worshiped womanhood, and in
sisted on keeping its idols in state of beg
gary, CT at least of dependence. 1t wrote
odes to women's eyebrows, and denied them
chance to get an education. 1t gave
women a shadowy homage, and denied
them all real benefits, because they were
only fit to be done up in Iavendar
Gallantry has been one of the
chief obstacles in the way of the
improvement of the condition of
women. Let a woman get a position
as correspondent in q commercial house, as
reporter on newspaper. as clerk in a gov
erument department, and unless she Is a
woman of unusual sense. she is apt to expect
gallant treatment of her associates. Her
mistakes must be condoned, her faults pass
