ened room where, under straight folds of
white drapery, seemed to lie the sorrow
of the house. A watcher sat there. He
sent her away. Then, alone in the room,
he knelt beside the coffin.

me? l love you, Sara; but was such a
miser-such miser! I've bought you a
shawl at last. Oh, Sara! Sara! 1 paid
as much as l could for it, my dear. You

put it about you myself, Sara! Sara!
He spread out the costly folds; he
lifted it in his hands. A moment more
he would have folded it about the dead
form in the coffin, but at that instant a
voice cried:
sob, Jonas! Jonas, dear! Oh, my poor
Jonas! My poor, poor Jonas!'
And turning, he saw his wife, either in
the spirit OF the flesh, standing behind
him. His knees trembled under him.
He cried out to heaven to help him, but
the figure came closer. 1t was no ghost
but living woman. She took him in
her arms.

you really love me so! And it is all my

For an answer he picked up the costly
shawl and wrapped it about her, and
took her, folded in it, like mummy, to
his heart again.
"The miser is dead" said he. "but

can cherish her."
He did; and if ever afterwards Sara
detected symptoms of relapse, all she
had to do was to wrap herself IN her
wonderful shawl. The sight of the in

learned how little after all is the value of

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has welded a crushing blow to the use of
special Union labels. The case CON
cerned labels on cigars, place where
they can be put on very conveniently and
are often found. The label had a device
answering there the purpose of Il trade
mark and also a legend setting forth that
the cigars were made by first-class work
men and that all cigars not having the
label were of inferior rat-shop, Cody,
prison or filthy tenement house work
manship," and recommending the goods
thus marked to ''all smokers throughout
the world" The decision says: This
is an attempt to use the public as
means of coercion, in order to find
market for their goods or labor. A first
class workman is one who does first-class
work, whether his name is on the rolls
of any given society or not. Filthiness
and criminality of character depend on
conduct, not on membership of the
union. Legitimate competition rests on
superiority of workmanship and business
methoes, not on the use of vulgar
epithets and personal denunciation. The
International union in this case has an
avowed purpose to do harm to non-union
men, to prevent the sale of their work,
to cover them with opprobrium, and
they ask court of equity to say they
have right to do it. We decline to say

If RoswellP. Flower had such patriotic
views in 1868 as some of his neighbors
affim and if he now has such love for old
soldiers as his friends want to make the
public believe, how does it happen that
there is not a soldier on the Democratic

showing love for old soldiers which
eclipses demagogic talk, but it is seldom
practiced by the Democratic party.-N.

Drunkenness Among Women.
MAX MAxEY.

DR.. Lucy M. Hall, lecturing at Coo
per Union, New York, on Tuesday
evening, reported that she had found,
as the result of careful investigation on
the subject, that drunkenness is be-
coming alarmingly frequent among
women. Habits of drinking are now
extending, especially among the girls
employed in factories and workshops,
and as they are more likely to gener
ate morbid dependence on stimulants
In women than fin men, the vice, or
disease of inebriety, grows rapidly
there, according to the observation of
this woman physician.
1t it undoubtedly true, that the
women of this country in all circles of
society, drink more alcohol now than
formerly. The amount of the stimu-
liant consumed by them per head, must
be considerably greater than it was
twenty-five years ago, or at any pre-
viOus period since the great temper
ance agitation which resulted in the
passage of the famous Maine Liquor
Law in 1851. As wealth and luxury
has increased, the number of tables up
on which wine is served regularly has
increasrd enormously, and the women
of the household partake of it very
generally. The introduction of lager
beer during the last generation, has
also had tendency to increase great
ly the consumption of alcohol among
women. A large part of the working
people of all the large towns, drink la
ger beer regularly at their meals, buy
ing it by the quart at neighboring sa-
looms. The crowds at the beer gar
dens in the evening arc composed u.s.
ually of about as many
women as men. Every corner liquor
shop also has a side door by which
women are admitted to a special COM
partment for their use. The great ma
iority of women in New York are
more or less consumers of alcohol
in some form. The Germans of both
sexes are almost invariably drinkers of
beer or light wines, and the drinking
habits of the Irish are we'll known !;
and people of the blood of those
two races make up two-thirds of
the population.
1t is inevitable, therefore, that drum
enness amoug women should exist to
some extent, and that itshould be pro-
portionately greater than formerly.
Yet it is by no means one of the crying
evils of the day that it seems to DR..
Hall to be. The specialist in medicine
is always sure to find that the special
disease he searches for is rife. The
average appearance OF our women in
dicates that they have improved in

Dover's Desperate Negro.

Officers Milburn and Kinnamon had
a frightful experience Wednesday
night. The officers undertook to ar
rest William Shockley, a notorious ne
gro, for whom a dozen or so of warrants
have been issued within the past year.
He was located in a nego house in the
suburbs of the town and the officers
went after him. When they approached
the house they saw him sitting at a
table, upon which was lighted lamp.
But as soon as he heard them he blew
out the light. The officers rushed in
in the darkness and were met by
Shockley, who had seized an axe. He
struck recklessly in the dark, but
succeeded in knocking both officers
down.
KinnamOn was cut seriously in the
heap, his heavy stiff hat alone saving
his life. Milburn had his right arm
laid open above the elbow and received
a bad cut on the knee.
Shockley made his escape and has
not yet been captured, although Mayor
Reedy offers to pay S25 for his arrest.

The Present aud Future of the Sexes

Girls do have some advantages, any,
way OF 100000 girl babies born in
Massachusetts,, 1854, ,222 reach the bud
ding age of fifteen. OF the same num-
Der of boys only $50, ,439 reach that age.
In the happy land of New Jersey,
where there are less factories and more
peaches and sweet potatoes, both ba-
bies stand a better chance, and the
figures stand 968,311, aud 1928.
During adult years the mortality of
the two sexes is about the same, the
fOllies of women and the vices of men,
proving about equally detrimental to
longevity and health, while the perils
of maternity are Offset by those of war.
In the good time coming, when the
present woman movement, shall, by
its effectual workings, have thrown off
the scum and drained the lees of soci-
ETY., these inequalities will be wanting.
Then the mother, released from the ne
cessity of factory or other absorbing
work, for the support of the family,
will take care of the venturesome boy
and the timid girl. The mortality of
both will diminish and will approx
mate the same rate. The girl, no lon
ger cOnfOunding weakness with wom-
anhOOd, will renOunce the follies of
her sex, and grow strong for safer ma
ternity, while the boy learning that ci-
garettes and beer do not pave the roy
al road to manhood, will avoid them,
and with that will come better concep-
tiOns of the relation of man to man and
nation to nation. So arbitration will
take the place of war among civilized
peoples, and the superhuous woman
will belong to history, and none will
be homeless.

BALLOT REFORM.

Representative Ridgely in the House
Tuesday afternoon gave notice of a
ballot reform bill. Mr.. Ridgely's bill
is entitled "An act to provide for the
printing and distributing of
ballots at the public expense /:
and to regulate nominations and elec-.
tions."
1t provides that from and after JanuI
ary l, 1892, at any general or specia-
election and any municipal election to
be held in the city of Wilmington, all
the ballots voted shall be printed and
distributed at public expense and shall
be county charge.
Section 2 provides that any cOnven-
ton of delegates, or nominating BODY
OF a political party is an organized
body within the meaning of this act
and shall have the right to have the
names of its candidates printed on
the ballots to be furnished by the
county.
But section prescribes that such
nominating convention shall represent
a party" which at the last general
election cast at least one per centum
OF the votes cast in a county or dis
trict.
Sections 4, and prescribe a long
list of requirements in the way of
vouchers and certificates which must
be filed with the clerk of the peace in
each county to prove that the nOmina-
tions are made in good faith and also
prescribe how tickets and party names
and emblems mnst be gotten up.
Sections and prescribe the time
and manner in which the certificates
should be filed in the clerks office.
Section provides for preservation
of these certificates in the Office of the
secretary of state.
Section 10 prescribes that candidates
nominated with no political appella-
ton shall be styled Independent"
and also provides that the clerk of the
peace shall publish the names of all
the nominees in at least two papers in
each county eight days prior to the
election.
Section IL provides how the ballots
shall be printed and arranged. At the
end of every ballot there are to be left
as many blank spaces as there are can
didat9s on the ticket, so that the voter
can insert other names and strike out
the original. When the ballot is folded
there shall appear on the back the
party name of the ticket.
Section II gives the number of bal
lots the clerk of the peace shall have
printed for each polling place-running
100 ballots for every fifty voters.
Sections IA, Is and 16 specify how
the ballots shall be delivered under
seal to the election officers.
Section IL provides that the Sheriff
of each county shall be suitably pro-
vided with a sufficient number of COM
partments with swing doors, and di-
reefs that but one voter shall be al
lowed in a compartment at time.
The rest of the bill, running down to
section %, where it ends, is devoted to
the qualifications of voters.
1t is in effect the Graham version of
the Australian Ballot bill.
