The position has never been congenial to

IN his Don Quixoteic fight against im-
provemeuts, and the owning of the cleo
trio light and water works by the town of
Milford, the managing editor of the Meas
and -Ad0J tiSey would be amusing, were
not the people of Milford so much in
earnest in this matter. In his editorial
Of last week, he says truthfully that the
bonding of the town for $4,000 Ito pro-
vide against FIRE and make an annual
saving of several hundreds Of dollars in
cost Of lighting streets) will certainly in
Huence the prosperity of the town for at
least forty years. If Milford is ever to
move forward in the race of progress, she
must be willing to pay the entrance fee,
by offering some of the safeguards to cap
ital and enterprise that good water sup
ply affords. But our neighbor is not sin
cere in the above position, for he throws
cold water on the enterprise in every
following sentence. This course is neither
commendable or manly. If ignorant of
the conditions Of the law, he shonld in
form himself and not blindly fight meas
ure he knows nothing Of. He says
The bill, as we uuderstand it, provides for
the electric light and water works aud Is to
be voted on solely By the property holders.
Thus far he is right. Real estate only
votes to issue bonds He next asks;
Is the tax BY which the interest sinking
fund, etc, is raised 70 be leveid solely on
the property holders, exemphug the poll

Certainly Real estate only pays the

FREE school books should be placed
in every public school IN Delaware, and
their purchase should be made by open
competition in an open market-the low
est bidder taking the contract. The tax
to buy school books for their children
IS a serious one now for poor men with
large families On the renter, this oper-
ates particularly hard because in his
changing of residence from one school
district to another, he finds that the new
district teacher don't use the same books
as his children have. This entails
clash in the classes, or the child is COM
PEELED to stay away from school. Free
books remove this entirely. Make the
parents responsible for the safety Of the
books his children use, but the district
must own them. We believe this bill
will finally become a law, and it will be a
blessing to the free school system when
it is enacted

IN passing a bill authorizing a vote for
or against calling a Constitutional Con
vention, the Senate made mistake in
naming May 1892 as the date, It should
have been held in this year and the con-
vention called together next fall. By
doing this, the people could vote to adopt
or reject the new Constitution at the gen
eral election in 1897. The House should
make this amendment to the Senate
bill.

Popular Riot Caused by Jester whS
Was Never Discovered
In 1918, when the vessel containing
Napoleon was about to sail for st.
Helena. some waggish person in Chester,
England. caused to be distributed in the
town and surrounding country hand
bills stating that the island Of ~. Helena
was so overrun by rats that without
relief il would be impossible for the
captive emperor and his guards to live
there. This being the ease. SAYS the st.
Louis Globe-Dcm ocrat. the government
had determined To send out "a shipload of
eats. the ship TO sail from Chester. On
a certain appointed day the kings
officer would be in the city and would
pay sixteen shillings, about four dollars,
for fullgrown toms, ten shillings for
female eats and and two shillngs and
sixpence for kittens old enough To feed
themselves.
The people of the surrounding country
took the matter seriously, and on the
day appointed thousands of eats were
brought into Chester. The owners. find
ing they had been triclzed, became
angry, threw away their eats and started
to sack the city hall. The police were
unable to deter them and riot ensued,
in winch a number of the townspeOple
were injured 10y the infuriated country
folk, who relished neither the Jest nor
the laughter at their expense. In the
three weeks after the riot over four
thousand eats were killed in Chester
and the vicinity. The Jester was never
discovered. though a reward was offered
for his detection and punishment.

A TELEGRAPHER AS KING.

Nademba I. Of ScgOn Promo ed to the
Throne from the Key
\ sudden favorable turn of fortune
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in
dividual from his habitual occupations
This more or less wise saw is applica-
BILE to the case of the present king of
Scgon, who was put on the throne of
his black kingdom by Col. Archinard
when his royal predecessor, Ahmadou,
too'o to flight for his safety.
Masiemba, the present monarch, is a
native of the country over which he ut
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of telegraphs at Senegal. Be
fore accepting his regal state. he made
it a condition that his name should con-

graph servitors, and that his situation
as king should be considered as sub
serviepti to that of his original employ

his title of preference that of '-sx-king

Politeness in telegraphic offices, al

Belief. of the Shan..

A report of the manners and custom
of the Shan states show that when a
Shan becomes father he must on no
account drive pigs, carry the dead, bore
holes fill in holes in the ground or in
dulge in mockery. If one of either sex
dies without marrying, the body, before
burial, is banged against stump, which
is considered as representing the hus-
band or wife. This is supposed to guard
against the danger of unrequited love
in the next life. Divorce is easy. the
man merely giving his wife letter per-
mitting her to remarry, and tie wife
merely being required to pay an un-
willing husband thirty rupees for re-
lease. Only the high Shans can be can
nibals. Their theory of the cosmogony
Is that the earth came out of the
depths by means Of white ants

Il have seen one or two good hen

day last fall it happened that not far
from my house a board was resting on,
two barrels, which were about ten feet
apart, and somebody had laid an old
discarded straw hat on il, the crown
lying on the board. An old hen, which
was a great pet with the family. saw
this arrangement and evidently decided
that the old hat was just the thing for
n nest. So she carefully hopped into IL
and laid an egg. We decided TO humor
her whim, and therefore fastened the
hat To the board. She continued To Law
in this queer nest for some time. But
one day the hat became unfastened in
some way and blew off the board.
When biddy saw this She began to sing
disconsolately, and we thought She
would give up the hat and seek another
nest. But we were mistaken In lit
tie while she seized the hat in her bill
and flew with it on 70 the board, where.
