The Philadelphia Record to-day give,
some interesting matter concerning the
amount Of money paid out in sich
benefits by the beneficial organizations Of
that city during the grip. Several lodge
men in Wilmington we're spoken to this
morning in regard TO the matter aud he
said the amount was not as large as might
have been expected, because the sickness
does not last long. The rules of many
lodges require that a member must be
sick two weeks before benefits are re-
ceived. The grip does not retain Its
hold for that lengthof time. and conse-
quently the benefits are not drawn.

MAHAN AND CROWLEY.


Taken to the Ferris heform Scnooi-An
Insane Mana Misguided Boy.
David Mahan and William Crowley the
Young thieves who were sentenced on
Saturday. were taken to the Ferris Re-
form School this morning. They are
without exception the worst boys that
have been confined in the Police Station.
They care not for what they have done,
hut declare they will continue their
actions. They attempted to break jail
yesterday morning by making hole in
the floor of their cell, dropping into the
cellar and escaping by the front door
They had part OF the floor up when Officer
Smith discovered them. The boys stole
2S7 brass front door keys from houses on
the eastern side, and threw them away
on lot at Ninth and Lombard streets,
when they could not sell them. The
young criminals say they will not stay in
the Reform School long, and they are
probably right. The Reform School was
never made for such boys as these. The
only means to keep them from growing
up professional thieves, would be to con-
fine them for life.
The present situation shows the need
for House of Correction for this state.
Such an institution would have security
Of jail without its drawbacks. A House
of Correction teaches its inmates trades
| and helps them in every way to reform.
Each boy must learn q trade, so that
when he comes of age he may earn his
living honestly. Instead of sending
women TO Jail for drunkenness they
would be placed In the House of Correc-

| William Weeks, colored, 80 years old,
was confined in the police station last
night at the instance Of his family, for
| he is insane. Four men held him while
he was being put into irons. He tore his
clothes and broke the bench in his cell
| He also bit Sergeant fuckers right hand
| in two places. He broke both of the
handouts during the night. When Pa
troll Officer Chairs went to the cell this
morning the prisoner stole his watch
chain so suddenly that the officers head
swan. But the madmen Immediately
returned the chain. At 1890 o'clock,
Weeks, heavily ironed, was taken to the
insane hospital The cause of his insanity
came, IL is supposed, from hard study, al
he was very bright and well educated.
Mrs. Wells told sad story to Ser
geant Stetser at the police station thii
morning. Her son James, 10 years old
had acquired bad habits and although shl
had done everything in her power to keel
him from doing wrong, he persisted il

position for him but he lost the conf

and growing city, and while none of her
varied interests ought to be lost sight of
or neglected, 1t ought to be borne in mind
that no city can grow into very large
proportions unless its mercantile and
manufacturing Interests are duly fos-
tered, pushed forward and kept up to
the demands of the country and the
times. There Is, too, more necessity of
constantly looking after the manufacture
ing than the mercantile matters, for the
latter will as naturally follow and keep
pace with the former as night follows
day. Secure factories, and bring with
them the people who must necessarily
operate them, and there is no question
about the mercantile ESTABLISHING nts re-
quisite TO their demands. In other
words, build up manufacturing enter
prises and secure the operatives and en-
ployes and their families-the great ''tin
bucket brigade 1.-THE people who earn
money and must spend it, and you will
find no lack of stores, wholesale and re-
tail, to supply them with all they need
in the mercantile line. So, after all,
factories are the bedrock, the mud stills,
upon which every interior town and city
must rest its hopes and prospects for solid
growth and permanent prosperity. Ty-
Ter ought to be fully and ably repre-
sented in the approaching Fort Worth
convention.

THE Earl of Beaconsfield is credited
with founding an order very dlssimiIar
in purpose from the "PrImrose League'
which is associated with his name. 1t Is
authoritatively said that the cause of
Kaiser Wilhelm's late explanatory letter
to the emperor of Austria was the ex-
istence of society for the protection
of prime ministers. "The Supreme
Brotherhood of Diplomacy" came into
being soon after d 'Israeli's spat with the
queen, which resulted in his dismissal,
and it may strike or boycott as the emer-
gency demands. The young emperor
must needs explain why he dismissed
Bismarck or run the risk of having no
chancellor, as outside the order men
qualified for high diplomatic offices are
not readily found. 1t is more than sus-
pected that even the czar of Russia is
not autocrat enough to be beyond the
iron grasp of this powerful order.

GEORGETOWN, TEX, Sept. 19.-Your
reporter to-day interviewed Col. W. K.
Makemson, Republican nominee for lieu
tenant governor, on the principal ques-
tions involved in the present campaign.
In answer to the question, 'What do
you think of the political outlook in
Texas2" he said: ''Of course there is
very little hope for the success of our
ticket this time-nothing short of q
miraculous change in the political sentI-
ment of the people Of Texas could make
possible the success of the Republican
ticket at the ensuing election. l think
however, the Republicans of Texas will
come nearer polling the entire strength
of the party this year than ever before.
l most heartily iudorse, our platform,
and especially the anti-commissiou plank
and the section favoring the Australian
ballot system. l am opposed to the
Lodge election bill. l believe ii would
accomplish no good, but, on the con-
trary, its adoption and enforcement,
in my opinion, would result in
much harm to the country.
shall vote against the pending
constitutional commission amendment,
and sincerely hope there is enough con-
seTvatsm in Texas to insure its defeat.
1 oan see no Necessity for the creation of
q special tribunal clothed with extraordi-
nary powers for the sole purpose of con-
trolling and regulating the railroads of
Texas. / believe remedy for all evils
complained of can be found in the legis-
lature, our present laws and the courts
of the country. We need more rail-
roads, more manufactures and more en-
terprising citizens. The true interests of
Texas how demand a conservative,
liberal policy encouraging every indus
trial enterprise that will tend to develop
the resources of our state.

Slave Trnde Question.

BERLIN, Sept. l9.-The Reichsanzei-
ger, referring to the slave trade ques-
ton, says:
Determined as it has hitherto relent-
lessly opposed slave hunting and profess
sionGl trading in slaves, the government
reserves to itself the choice OF proper
moment 10 further restrict slavery -
The Reichsauzeiger then enters into long
exp lanation of the opposition of slaves
on farms, plantations, etc. 1t says they
may be sold with property or change
owners through exchange, beQuest or
donation. When the sultan's DEGREES
were published, though they were in
valid in the German territory, the home
government asked whether it was advi-
IDLE to change the condition of house
hold slaves, and Zanzibar officials re-
piled III the negative.
