Morgan Of Alabama offered an amend
ment providing that if ~harbor defense
ships be built on the Pacific coast an ale
lowance of per cent. may be made on 1t
cost to the contractor in addition to the
contract price, to cover the cost of trans
portation of material. Agreed to without
division. The question required on the
amendment reported by the committee on
appropriations. Cockrell of Missouri APP
posed it on the ground that there was no
absolute necessity for the new vessels COM
pleted, and that the condition of the treas
ury did not justify such expenditure.
Without coming to vote on the question,
the Senate adjourned.

Dover . Great Fair.


THE TRANSCRIPT would call the
attention of it's patrons and readers
to the delaware State Fair at Dover,
September Goth to Gath inclusive.
The fair promises to be the mosl
successful since its organization. In
the speed department the fastest
horses and the largest entries have
been secured through the indefatiga-
BILE efforts of Mr.. Wharton, the secre-
tary, and the lovers of the horse and
the turf should not hesitate to graf
ify their proclivities in this respect.
In the ladies' department and in the
the cereal building the displays will
outdo anything of the kind ever pre-
sented to the peoples attention. So
vast and varied are the exhibits in
these two departments alone that the
officials will be compelled to utilize
space that has heretofore been una
valuable. The other departments
will come up to their usual standard
In the way Of amusements and at
fractions the officials have spared
neither time nor expense in catering
to the pleasure of tho people and
trying to make the Delaware State
Fair the event of the season upon
the Delaware and Maryland PENN
sula.

Races At Kirkwood.

One of the greatest races that has ever
taken place in Delaware will be witnessd on
Friday at Kirl;wood on the great kite shape
traeA OF tle Maple Valley Trotting Asscia-
tion, which has earned an enviable record
since Belle Hamlin and Globe went mile
in 2 12 on the Fourth of July. The race
will be for purse of $2500 and between
Sadie NJ, 2.17l; Saladin, 2.159, and Fasci-
nation 2.24l, three of the fastest horses
that have ever gone mile on any track
in the state.
Sadie NJ holds the record for Delaware,
which she made at Hazel Dell few days
ago. Shs will be driven by her owner, D..
H. McCray Of Chester. Saladin will be
driven by his owner, James B. Green, of
Wilmington. John Shillinglaw of Charter
Oak Park, Hartford, Conn, one of the
best drivers in the country, will handle
the lines over Fascination, one of the fast
est horses on the Maple Valley Stock Farm.
Besides this special race there will be
three other good races, the classes of which
are 3-minute, $50 and 2.34. Since the
Fourth Of July the track has been widened
from forty-five to sixty-five feet and the
grand stand enlarged SO it now has a seat
ing capacity Of 5000. If it rains on Friday
the races will come off on Saturday.

The following letter was received few
days ago by the Rev. J. Beers from the
Rev. w. C. Alexander who is travelling in
Europe. We print it believing that his
MANY friends here will be glad to read it.
GENEVA, August 29th, 1892
| My DEAR BROTHER Would you OBJ
iect to line from me, from over the, sea ?
Here am at the place whence some good
things have gone forth, and, while waiting
for our train, l will try to write you. l
left home as I wrote you August 8, and
had wonderful voyage to Antwerp where
we arrived Saturday, August 18th at p. M.
The ocean was good to US all and not one
was sea-sick on our ship. We struck Ant
werp at o time when they were celebrating
the 33Oth anniversary of the Guilds and
our Sunday there was anything but pro-
motive of spirituality. 1t was day given
to holiday frolic and fun with music all
day and professions and sights wonderful
tor color and variety, but the cathedral
there with its pictures by Rubens and the
other churches are very remarkable and
were greatly enjoyed by us. We took
Brussels in, hastily, on our way to Cologne.
Here we saw that wonderful Cathedral
next to st. Peter in size, and other churches
in which we found relics and sights to tax
the credulity of the most "gullable.u
The ride from Cologne up the Rhine is very
fine. but we took it on day when the
mercury was about 1902 Fahrenheit, in the
shade, and, Oh but it was hot. Still the
old castles and mountains with their vine
covered sides were novel sight. From
Cologne we came to Heidelberg where
there is an old castle in fine preservation
for a ruin so old. Th; city of Heidelberg
is very pretty having fine walks and shaded
streets something one does not often see
over here. Then we came to Lucerne,
lovely Lucerne nesting in its beauty by
the lake of the same name. Here we rested
over Sunday going to Scotch Presbyterian
Church twice. On Saturday we sailed the
lake and had lovely ride, Monday ascend
ed the Rigi and went to Andermati, hav-
ing wild and grand ride to Goeschenen
where we took omnibus for miles. Next
day through st. Gothard tunnel and on to
Milan. Here we had taste or sight of
Italy. Milan is large aourishing city of
nearly a quarter million people. Its cathe-
it is simply wonderful to a young American.
LucI6 we CdIuC W l4SthC duu
from there by diligence over the Sinfou
Pass. The day we crossed was one of ad-
venture to us. About Is miles from our
starting point we encountered an immense
fall of water by the roadside, lit had been
raining hard all day., and it threw water
and spray SO we could not pass it, SO we
turned back. After awhile the rain ceas-
ing we advanced again to meet with huge
boulder which had come down the noun
tain side and lodged in the road. We got |
by it however and got along well till we
were near our journeys end when we had
to get out lat 10 at night and walk by !
but at last we got there. Came
on here Friday, and have been resting.
Leave tonight for Paris and thence to |
London and home. September Is, by
Anchor Line from Glasgow.
Yours as ever,
w. C. ALEXANDER.

Mr.. EDITOR The condition of our
streets in places is sickening sight
to stranger, especially on Sunday
morning. Cannot something be done
to bring the occupants Of stores to
see the danger of allowing garbage
and other matter to collect in front
of their premises.
The back yards, stables and closets
are mostly in very bad state, and it
was said by one experienced with
typhoid fever that one of the latter
nuisances was enough to breed the
disease. As it is already in our midst
willnot the Board of Health take the
matter in hand, and also forbid the
use of the street as dumping ground
for refuse from premises, and enforce
keeping the cutters free from sicken-
ing odors and decaying matter

It's sometimes said patent medicines

foster this idea. s'The people," we're

comes to medical science" Suppose
they are! What sick man needs is

medicine that cures is the medicine for
the sick. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
