THE RICHARD STOCKTON SEIZED,
The Big Steamboat Boarded by the
Marshal and sied Up at New Castle.

The Big Steamboat boarded by the
Marshal and lied Up at New Castle.
By Telephone TO the EVENING JOURNAL
New CAsrLk, June "a The hand
some river steamboat Richard Stockton
is tied up at the Delaware street
wharf and It Is extensively
rumored that she is in the hands ''Uncle
Sam " The steamboat plies regu-
larly between Philadelphia and COL
lins' Beach, but never stops at this
ci,y. IL WAS therefore a surprise to
everybody when the big steamer veered
westward, when off this city this morn :
ing, and came in the harbor to the
wharf There were m re expressions Of
surprise when Marshal Mahaffy stepped
off the boat, and her pas
sengers for Collins's Beach also left her
and took train for Wilmington. The
marshal would say nothing when told
Of the reports about the steamboat
aud would neither confirm or
deny them. The steamboat is still
at the wharf but her officers
will not talk or assign any reason for
her lying there. The officers are all
uniformed and the steamer is splendidly
equipped for the season.
The Richard Stockton was siezed at
the instance of Ambrose B. Miles Of
Delaware City, because OF liabilities
for personal injuries sustained during
a collision between her and the fishing
boat Clipper" on the Delaware bay on
May l3 On that day the Richard
Stockton struck the fishing boat while
running up the bay, damaging her badly
and severely ipj1rlng Mr.. Miles
The Stockton is not only one Of the
largest. but among the Oldest
steamboats, on the Delaware.
Until about two years ago
she was run. by a big New York com
pany up and down the Hudson river.
She was purchased by Philadelphia
syndicate before the opening Of the
season of 1889, and has been run as a
special excursion boat from Philadelphia
ever since that time

constellation of his famous puns this
is the brightest star. The dinner
taking place about Thanksgiving time,
Mr.. Evarts, whep he arose to speak
began in this way.
Friends, you have just been having
turkey stuffed full of sage; now
present you with a sage stuffed full Of
turkey
1t made no difference what he said
after that; the best thing he could
have said nd have been nothing al
all.
But it remained for San Francisco
man who is seeking an Office from the
president and who has been in town
some time waiting for it to make one
of the best after dinner hits OF all. He
was called upon to speak at banquet
recently, and boldly proclaimed that
he was after an Office.
And here he went on. GIVE

COnvlcts ia the I United states.

A census bulletin gives statistics OF
penitentiary cOnvicts in each State in
proportion to the population. In 1880,
out of population Of $4,000, 900, the
proportion of convicts was 100 to each
100000 Of population. In 1890 the
proportion was 722 to the 1000, 600.
The population of the United States in
1890 was "a. SO per cent greater than in
1880. In 1890 there were 1888 per cent
more convicts than in 1880. This shows
that the number of convicts has in
creased 2.4o per cent faster in q decade
than the population. OF the As, 1913
convicts in penitentiaries in the United
States in 1890. the whites formed 81. SO
per cent. and the colored 30. per cent.
OF the 30, $40 white convicts, the native
born represented 1890 per cent, and
foreign born 1919 per cent, while the
place Of birth Of 0. 81 per cent was I'M
known. The men formed 96. l per cent
and the women 3.9 per cent. showing
24.64 times as many male copv!cts as
female.

Mans Oldest Home,

Biologists have shown US that the
Oldest rocks, or those which first lifted
their heads above the waters and fogs
Of the early world. are found here in
America, while there are relics which
show that man existed here prior to
the drift reriod and when more than
half the continent was covered with re-
ceding glaciers. That he lived at the
time the mastodon roamed over our
prairies and through the forests Is cor.
tain. for his implements have been
found associated with and beneath the
bones Of these now extinct monsters,
as we'll as with other animals Of the
same or an earlier period. Relics and
data are abundant in showing the high
antiquity Of man in AYsrica, and that
it is much more in 9Scordspcs with
facts and reaSon that this IL his ances.
trail home than in any other part Of the
world. It may be well. however. TO
remind those who seek tho truth that
tho far distant time when man first be-
gan to make history on this continent
must not be subjected to the arbitrary
DEGREES Of modern chronology. Time
must be reckoned by cycles Of centu-
ries. not by months and years, for ma
ture sets up no milestones to mark the
passage Of never beginning or ending
eternity.
