PERSONAL.

Captain Benjamin Thompson, of Kenne-
blinkport, Me-, ninety-eight years old, had
occasion to fix a pulley on the ridgepole Of
his barn the other day. To perform the
work i was necessary to pull ladder up
over three stagings and then place it in
position on the roof. but the old gentleman
did the job, being afraid, he said, TO in
trust it TO his son Horace, aged sixty. as
the latter was stiff and clumsy and might
fall.
Secretary Rusk preserves many of the
primeval manners of his rustic boyhood.
II is q rare thing to find him up after 8
O'Clock i'll the evening. and il nothing pre-
vents he goes 10 bed at $50. He gets up at
daybreak and instead of lunch at noon
has dinner at that hour and supper at 6.
Fashion smiles at him little for these
eccentrieties, but that does not prevent
him from being the most popular official
in Washington.
For the Augusta statue of the late Alex
ander II stephens of Georgia, vice-presi-
dent of tho confederacy, it has been pro
posed TO pose him in a roller chair, like
that which his physical infirmities made
necessary so many years, and such as he
is associated with in the minds of every
one who saw him in his later DAYS. After
much discussion the plan has finally been
abandoned; and Mr.. Stephens will be
represented as standing erect at a table. his
right hand extended in well-remembered
attitude. The face will be taken from
photograph taken Just after the war, and a
splendid Likeness of Mr.. Stephens when
between 30 and go years old. Work is to
begin at once on the statue and the monu.
meht is TO be completed in six months.

this transaction the lower price was sent

Spreckels' object seems TO be to keep his
price where other refneries will not meet
il. When the price broke to 4! in the
afternoon the Franklin and knight rein
cries promptly met the cut, but il was
close profit for sugar. Later, Spreckles
dropped his price to l-l6, which was also

that the state outside of Philadelphia was

not give him much encouragement. QUAY

frankly admitted to the party leaders here
that the hope of electing the state ticket is
very remote, and he was informed by his
friends in Philadelphia that the chances

There is mourning in Mission. Mis-
sion, by the way, is small post-oflice
in Sussex county, and the late post
master, W. II. Truitt, in consequence of
the memorable law of political necessity
and most outrageous violation of civil
service ethics by the Harrison admins
tration, has been compelled to relinquish
the office to G. w. Mitchell. The causes
that led to this change of postmasters
in the little Sussex hamlet are not
known to the public, but it was doubt
less due either to the "pernicious activ-
ity" OF the late incumbent, or a desire
to use this official position for strength
ening tho Republican machine in this
State, But whatever the motive, the
decapitation of Postmaster Truitt will
go down in history as an act of
offensive partisanship deserving Of the
seyerest condemnation. We learn by the
records that the salary of the office in
1887 was 1850, while two years later
it had increased to the very handsome
compensation of $19.51. No doubt the
vigorous and business-like administra-
ton of Postmaster Truitt has by this
time pushed the salary past $50, but
just as he was beginning to reap the
financial benefit of his industry and
faithful attention to the public interests
he had to make room for Republican
successor. The late postmaster has our
sympathics, though he will doubtless be
able to withstand the severe financial
affection that has befallen him.

The Chesapeake oyster season opened
Thursday. "From to-day" said the
Baltimore Herald, "tons upon tons Of
oysters will he taken from the Chesa.
peake. Steamboats,, schooners, puugies,
bugeyes and sloops will be engaged in
the business, and at least 10000 people
will find employment in catching,
shocking and packing oysters" And
tons upon tons of these oysters will be
put up in cans made Of imported tin
taxed with duty oftwo and two-tenths
cents a pound, and free sugar wont help
these Maryland oyster Gamers a
particle. The tin-plate swindle will
bear upon them with It's full weight and
it would be safe to say that the Balti-
more Gamers alone employ ten times as
many hands as viii find work in all the
American tin-plate factories that will
be started between now and tie repeal
of the Mckinley bill.

WILMINGTON. THURSDAY. OCT. 20.
The Baltimore Republicans were in
.louar iIhnrrdnrr Thar hoId n o......s,.

The Baltimore Republicans were in
clover Thursday. They held a conven-
ton to nominate municipal ticket and
were SO fortunate as to have in their
presiding officer, Chairman Roberts of
the city executive committee, a man
after Reeds own heart. Chairman
Roberts started in to run that convcn-
ton strictly according to Reed rules.
Would 1t be imagined that this tribute
to his Formerly high exemplar was not
appreciated by some of the delegates |?
Yet, sad to say, such was the case. Some
of them even kicked We clip from the
Baltimore Sun, the following report of
one of the episodes of this kind. The
chairman was engaged at the time in
passing, with fine imitation of Reed
arrogance, upon the credentials of the
delegates:
Joseph +. Wills shouted excitedly !:
This whole thing is out of order. The
first business is to elect n temporary chair
man. | move that we proceed to that
business
The chair-"You are out Of order"
Mr.. Wills-"Then l appeal from your
decision.n
The chair-"l wont hear your appeal;
you are out of order, SO sit down"
Mr.. Wills-"l want this body run right,
and protest"
The chair-"1f you don't keep quiet |
will order the sergeant-at-arms to put YOU
out OF the hall. You are out of order and
disturbing this meeting"
Mr.. Wills-"lf you want me | will walk
out. don't want your sergeant to put me
out"
At this point the excitement was at N
height Cries and Kisses were loud and
prolonged all over the hall. Every dele
gate was on his feet shouting. Shouts of
question" order" put him OUT "sit
down" Ego home.n were heard on ali sides.
AT length Emil Bndnitz was recognized,
He appealed for harmony and peace, saw
ing they could not afford to let factional
uifferences disturb the good order of the
meeting. A delegate from the Duhurst
delegation Of the ninth ward asked II Mr..
Budnitz was running the convention.
Before he could proceed further the chair
ordered him to sit down.
At this point Chairman Roberts APP
pears to have lost his grip and to have
basely yielded TO the nomination and
election of temporary chairman. He
played the Reed business as well as he
could, but he evidently had not the skill
and nerve to count a favorable majority
as present but not voting. However,
Mi. Roberts acquitted himself very fairly
for beginner, and should be rewarded
by his party with at least leather
medal inscribed: Mon magister sed
discipulus dignus."

According to the National Procisioner
the total Of tin ore mined and shipped
from the Temescal mines in California
is 22,639 pounds-about eleven tons.
The chief Of the bureau of statistics of

during the first three months of 1891, of
10,503,501 pounds of "tin in bars, blocks,
pigs, or grain or granulated;" being at
the rata Of 100000 pounds per year.
And this was before these "American
tin-plate factories began to start up
their campaign business However, let
us deal tenderly with the Temescal
miners, remembering that pig tin does
not come in for any protection" until

of it in commercial quantities before
that date would render this additional
