what the Mckinley Tariff has Done
for Dover.

We state Il authoratigelY. The p.
Smith Button Works Of Dover has re-
ceiyed orders for fifteen thousand gross
Of pearl buttons Of one size and quality,
and Is now figuring on ether additional
orders for twenty-five thousand gross.
The acceptance or rejection Of the latter
orders win depend entirely on the ability
Of the works 10 secure sufficient num-
Der Of additional operatives to turn out
the goods. Here Is another opportunity
for more Of our boys and girls to find EN-
ployment Is It beginning to dawn upon
the minds Of Democrats 10 Delaware yet
that more money can be acquired by
ware earneEs living under the protective
evsfem than under free trade heresy!
When mills are ruHniug to their full ca
pacity, and industries are multiplying as
fiiey are our farmers reap q rich share Of
The benefits. Experience is teaching US
That the good effects Of the Mckinley
karif law are unquestienable. Look at
this picture During the year ending
September 80, 1890, Americans were good
customers II Birmingham (England) but
ton manufacturers. We bought Of them
buttons to the value Of one hundred and
ninetY-one thousand nine hundret mod
fffy-nine dollars and tWeDty-six cents.
Ia the ear ending September 80, 1891,
We bought Birmingham buttons to the
valve Of eleven thousand two hundred
and seventy-two dollars and thirty-hve
CENTS Only. The Mckinley law made the
differences and the workers ia American
button factories reaped the benefits.
Think about these matters, inform your.
self aud cast your ballot at the general
election next November with the party
which protects you. What do you care
about who shall hold the Offices, when

he has forced his readers to think, OF the re-

preacher Of the capitalization of thought,

would only need to ascertain the prevailing
sentiment and utter it. Mr.. Howells has
sought the truth as it appeared to him. His
successor would like simply to say to him.
as his hand is on the door, that deep affection
goes out to him for his sweet spirit and sin

Flockinc to the Shrine.

The streams of visitors to St. Louis
French Catholic church on Chapel street
continues unabated. Daily people come
from all parts hereabouts and not few
from more distant towns to visit the shrine
and view the relics of ST. Anne.
The rumor that several cures have been
accomplished at this shrine has attracted
many afflicted persons, and fully one-half
of the visitors are suffering from some
physical disability.
William Carroll, the bartender for Mark
Ryder, q Water street saloon keeper, claims
that he has been cured of infammatory
rheumatism by visit to the St. Louis
church. For the past four months he has
keen crippled with rheumatism and unable
to work. Saturday he made visit to st
Louis church and remained there in prayer
for two hours before the shrine of St.
Anne. He felt greatly improved on Sun
day, and yesterday morning he resumed
work perfectly cured. Several other cares
are reported.

THE CHIEF RYLANDs CASE

And q New Haven Case Before the
Supreme Court Of Errors In Bridge
port Yesterday-The Judges Bench
DraPed In Mourning.
BRIDGEPORT, OCT. 25.-The supreme
court of errors convened In this city this
morning at 10 o'clock. Chief Justice
Charles R. Andrews presided. II was the
first session of the court since the death of
Judge Edward w. Seymour, and feeling
of sadness prevailed.
The bench was tastefully draped In
black, but the lawyers needed no reminder
of the sad occurrence further than the alb
ssnce of the pleasant face of the eminent
jurist. His chair was filed by Judge F.
B. Hall of this city. A dispatch was re-
ceived from Judge Carpenter stating that
he was i'll, and Judge A. Il. Fem of Win
sted took his chair. Judge Torrance and
Judge John M. Hall and the chief justice
were the other judges present.
The session was opened with prayer by
Rev. Charles Ray Palmer of the North
CONGREGATIONAL church. He touchingly re-
ferred to the death of Judge Seymour and
to the sad bereavement that had overcome
President Harrison in the death of Mrs.
Harrison.
At the conclusion of the prayer the
docket was called by Judge Andrews. The
docket is very small one, only twenty
cases being ready for trial. OF these the
majority are from New Haven county, and
many of them will be continued until the
next term.
The most interesting local case of the
docket is that of Chief Rylands against ex-
Captain John P. Pinkerman, an appeal by
the defendant The case was to have been
tried this term, but as council on both
sides are busily engaged, 1t was agreed to
postpone 1t.
Attorneys Davenport and Judson, who
represented Chief Rylsnds in his case
against e1 Captain Pinkerman, which is
the famous quo warranto police case, this
noon fled a plea of abatement, on the
ground that John P. Pinkerman is no
| longer an officer in the police department.
Accompanying the plea in abatement was
| motion to dismiss the defendants appeal
| to the supreme court. The latter court
will hear the case at the next term.
The first case heard was that of Stephen
| L. Usher vs. Wilson Waddingham, both OF
New Haven. Attorneys Baldwin and Rus
sell appeared for the plaintiffs, and Attor-
neys Bristol, Stodard and Bristol, and
Bush and Kleiner for the defendants. The
case occupied the entire morning.
