pURIFF OUR PoLITIc cs.
We Must Call Halt--Too Wide a Scope
for Free Suffrage.


Following extract is from ex-senator
Wallace's address before the Delta Phi
Literary Society of Delaware College,
and from the College Regiew: y
The stream cannot rise higher than its
head. We must purify and invigorate
the springs of power. We must recog-
nize and appreciate our great responsi-
bilities as makers of the law. We must
learn and practice the pregnant truth,
first enunciated by a great English
Judge that, "to be free is to live under a
government of law" but with 1t goes
the thought that the value of any
practical idea is to be learned,
not from those who proclaim it, but
from its work and power in the minds
of the common people. We are not
free, when the best men Of tho state
decline to take part in the enactment of
law at Its very source. We are not
free when the venal and corrupt are
permitted to dictate the control of the
law making power. We are not free,
when the body polite grows illiterate
and stupid. by the infiltration of enor-
nous masses of voters who are utterly
incompetent to intelligently exercise
the right of suffrage. We would quickly
reject the usurped power of single
tyrant, but we complacently hug the
chains that yenality and ignorance
forge for us at the ballot box. Emigra-
ton is enormous. *#* We are being over
run with population that does not
assimilate with rapidity.
The pendulum has swung too far in
the direction of free suffrage. 1t is time
to take heed of and provide against the
evils that threaten us, both north and
south, from masses of uneducated and
incompetent voters.

which was prettily decorated with ferns
and flowers. The bride looked charm
ing in white silk grenadlne and carried
white roses. The groom appeared in full
evening dress.
There were no bridesmaid or grooms-
man. 1t was just simple home we'd
ding and after the ceremony reception
was held in the dining room where the
wedding supper was served.
The presents sere numerous and ele-
giant and amufg tiaRm were several
checks for good round sums. Mr.. and
Mrs. Yocum amid shower of rice took
a cab at the door for the S.14 train for
Philadelphia en- route for Ocean Grove,
N. j., where they will spend a week.
They will then take up their residence

tendent and principal of the high school.

TIE Sow-THEs LfBELED.
Millionaire Addicks' Swift Yacht Seized
for Alleged Debt.

In the United States district court Thurs
day afternoon Henry Whitney Bates, a
New York attorney, on behalf of the
Herreshof Manufacturing Company of
Bristol, r. l.. filed against the Now-Then
J. Edward Addicks' fast yacht, a libel for
l,il2.15. Mr.. Bates came over from New
York and filed the libel personally. I'm
mediately after the necessary papers had
been prepared Deputy United States Mar
shal Watson proceeded to the ship-yard of
the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company,
where for two days her engine has been
undergoing REPAIRS and seized the boat
following which proceeding he swore in
her master, Captain Torrey, as United
States deputy marshal and left her in his
charge.
Mr.. Bates is owner of the yacht Elf,
which brought him to this city few
weeks ago and on which he then hand
somely entertained many Wilmingtonians
10 u representative of THE GAZETTE he
stated that the sums mentioned in the bill
Of particulars are charges made by the
HerreshoH Manufacturing Company for
making certain repairs to the Now-Then.
Mr.. AddicRs, he declared had been asked
frequently by telephone and by letter dur
ing the two years that the account has
been standing to settle and his reply nearly
always was that he would be around in a
week or two. Late in the afternoon Mr..
Bates returned home Before leaving he
put his case in the hands Of Hoffecker &
Hoffecker, whose New York correspondent
he is.
Willard Salisbury, Jr., Esq, counsel for
Mr.. Addicks, was surprised when he was
Informed by a representative of THE
GAZETTE that the libel had been filed and
the Now Then seized and stated that he
would wire the news to Mr.. Addicks. The
craft, he said, was purchased by her pres
ent owner from the Herreshoff Manufac-
turning Company, by whom she was built,
and when they sold her to Mr.. Addicks
they guaranteed her boiler and pipes.
The latter. Mr.. Salisbury continued, had
not proved as good as they were repre-
sented and had to be repaired. The
amount in dispute he claimed is s., III. 40,
less nearly S100, which Mr.. Addicks had
offered to pay. Mr.. Addicks had refused
to pay the remainder because it was for re-
pairing the boiler and pipes which the
the. Herreshof Manufacturing Company
had guaranteed.
The Now-Then was to have left the ship
yard of the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company, on Thursday, and gone to Clay
mont. from which place Mr.. Addicks had
intended to take some friends on an ex-
cursion, but owing to the seizure of the
yacht the outing had to be abandoned.
The writ is mades returnable on July
23d, at II a. m.

Robert W. Smith treasurer of the p,
w. & B. railroad has officially notified
Cashier Armstrong of the First National
Bank of the forgery of the pay roll
checks of the Pennsylvania railroad and
affiliated lines and their circulation in
Jersey City. Mr.. Smith writes "the
forgery is an excellent one, and readily
liable to deceive. We advise you that
you may take extra precautions" AS
stated elsewhere In The GAZETTE
these forged checks were uttered ex-
tensively in Jersey City the past day or
two. They may find their way to this
city or the same counterfeiting may be
practiced here and merchants who are
in the habit of accepting the company's
pay roll checks should be careful to
avoid being swindled. The bank will
exercise every precaution and the rail
road company will take steps to bring
the forgers to Justice.

a Fine Peach Propects.


Starting at Sandy Hook (the lower ter
minus of the Brunswick valley), the B. 4
O. r. r.. and its Washington county
branch is lined on either side with peach
orchards, which, in point Of beauty and
perfection of fruit compare favorably with
any of the orchards which line the slope
of the Blue Ridge at Pen-Mar. While
most of these orchards are yet in their in
fancy, the acreage Of fruit trees is quite
large, and in very few years they will be
shipping as much fruit as there more
northern brothers. The largest growers
between Sandy Hook and Keedysville are
as follows: J. A. Miller, Cornelius Virtz,
J. ]. Moore, James Smith, Daniel Staley,
John McDuell, Eli Yourtee, J. P. Blessing,
]. R. Brown, DR.. ]. 7. Yourtee, w. E.
Boteler, Darby Il Lane, Jacob Muliendore,
John Slime Clay Rohrer, R. Rohrer,
Joshua Miller and w. c. Hughes. The
orchards of these gentlemen, with the
numerous smaller orchards dotted through
the valley, make grand total of at least
200, 700 trees. As the farmers are dsgusted
with the small returns from agriculture
and have land so well adapted to the better
paying cultivation of fruit, every wear will
add largely to the planting of trees, until
the near future it will be most important

NEGROES TIRED OF DELAY.

They Want to Get On the Force and are
Told "As Time Wears On" They May
Get Something.
The Board Of Police Commissioners met
at the mayors office in the city hall on
Thursday. A delegation of colorcd citizens,
headed by James Anderson and Dennis
Sharper was introduced. The business of
the delegation was to ascertain from the
commission what representation, if any,
the board proposed to give their race upon
the present police force.
Mr.. Willey's reply was that If there were
any vacancies to be filled or if it be deemed
necessary as time wore on to increase the
number of policemen the applications OF
all persons would be considered without
regard to race or color. The delegation
then left with the understanding that the
reply did not exactly meet their question.
City Solicitor Curtis was requested to
give an opinion whether the members of
the force and also the superintendent of
the police signal system could not be made
t, give security forthe proper performance
of their duties.
