RETURNED THE COMPLIMENT.
How DIR. Holmes Got IA Dozen Razors for
an Advertisement.

hh
In a recent interview DIR. Oliver
Wendell Holmes of Boston, told how
he came to give very valuable adver-
tisement to the manufacturer of patent
razor in his book, "Over the Teacups."
''As and my daughter were about to
go aboard our vessel in the harbor, when
| went abroad the last time," said the
distinguished physician, "a stranger
gentleman handed me neat little parcel,
which opened as soon as reached my
stateroom. | found the parcel to con
tain an instrument in the way of a
peculiar razor, altogether out of the
ordinary design, so fashioned that after
preparing my face all had to do was to
put the little thing to my beard and
move it over my face, and, before | was
really aware of it, was nicely shaved.
Why, it was the most clever thing in its
way ever met with, and | was so de-
lighted with it, | took occasion to refer
to it indirectly in "Over the Teacups."
A few months after my return home,
and after the appearance of over the
feacups, one day Il large package was
left at my house by an expressman. On
opening the package, up here in my
study, what do you suppose found /?
Why, a dozen of those little razors,
which had been presented to me by the
manufacturer, with his compliments. |
laughed to myself and said to my Sec
rotary that I'd be more careful in the
future about acting rs an advertiser for
other peoples wares. However, | sent
the manufacturer letter of thanks"

The Morning Neacs is still worried
over the payment of the deputy con
stables. But it has no one to blame but
the man or men who insisted on the APP
pointment Of deputy marshals and by
that act made the appointment Of the
deputy constables an absolute necessity.
Had it not been for the deputy ngrshals
there would have been no deputy con
stables. Both have to be paid by the
people and the people of Delaware
would little rather, when the matter
is forced on them, as it was by Marshal
Mahaffy and whomcver was behind
him, pay for the constabulary to
protect them in their constitutional right
of local self-goyernment than TO be
taxed, as they must be, for the hire Of
men employed by centralized usurpa-
ton to interfere with their conducting
their own elections in their own way
and according to their own laws. But
this is over now. The lesson so press
ingly needed has been taught at last
and with the election of Grover CleYe-
land and the triumph of the party of
free men and fair play, the era of
Federal cncroachment on the rights of
the states, of Force bills and Force bill
methods, is over, we trust forever.

In one respect at least Quito, the cap
ital of Ecuador, is the most unique city
northern and southern hemispheres, a
distinction claimed by no other place Of
Importance on the glebe. At Quito the
sun rises and sets at 6 o'clock the year
round. You may forget to wind your
watch while you are visiting the Ecua-
dorian capital, but you need not hunt
up regulator-set it when the sun
rises or sets and you will be sure TO be

The Boston HsraM says "rhere does
not appear to have been any doubt in
the minds of the iurymen who sat in the
Iams case that the officers who strung
up the obstreperous private by the
thumbs did not exceed their authority,
and that they We're guilty Of no wrong
doing. The jury had no alternative but
to acquit the defendants of the charge Of
assault and battery, as the instructions
of the court We're explicit that this
should be done. 1t is said that the YER
dict is generally approved in Pittsburg,
where all the parties are known. Not
withstanding this sentiment, we are in
clincd to think that outsiders will con
tinue to think that Iams' treatment by
his superior officers was barbaric."

The Australian system Of voting was
agrand success in every respect Hardly
less appreciated than the guaranty Of
secret ballot was, in this city, the seclu-
sion of the election officers and the voter
from the pressure and the presence of
those who have been accustomed, under
the old system, to gather around the
voting window and obstruct or hamper
the peaceful progress Of the election.
On all sides and from men Of every
shade Of political utilization were heard
words of high praise over the pho
nomenaIly quiet and orderly operation
Of the new system. 1t is a reform with
the biggest kind Of an "R."

by the Morning Neps to be characterized
by "the sordid and commercial instincts
Of the average Democrat Of Sussex

not very nice, we must admit; the
Reverend Jonathan $. Willis could
doubtless give him some wholesome adj
monition ON this score; but, speaking on

Murder win Not Always "out."

Boston Advert scr.
The old adage that "murder will out"
is, after all, more or less of u fiction.
Scores of murders so unpublished every
year throughout the civilized world,
largely for lack of proof against the
murderers. The resources Of civiliza-
ton are open to criminals as well as to
officers. 1t is possible for murderer
TO commit his crime and then be whirled
hundreds OF miles away before the deed
is discovered He knows just what
methods will be used to secure mis- cap
turc,aud he may have planned how to out
wit such attempts before they are made.
Murder Is often, and even usually, dis
covered and punished, but there are
many such crimes that have had no ex-
plantations, and it il possible that the
Fall River tragedy may be one of these.

At last Tuesday weeks meeting of the
Levy Court, Mr.. Gilbert Cope of West
Chester, personally appeared before that
body and "asked that the documents
stored in the attic Of the court house,
some of which he said were marriage
licenses of the past century, be ar
'anged in chronological order and be
ept in the office Of the orphans court
,r be given to the Pennsylvania IIistori-
al Society" If we are correct in I'M
lerstanding the orphans court of New
Castle county to be referred to, the first
clause Of this proposition sounds entirely
proper, but the suggestion to remove
these records outside the State should
not be entertained for moment. No
one is better qualified to appreciate the
local value of these old documents than
the historian Gilbert Cope and he must
know that they are much more descrv-
ingof proper care here than they could
be to an institution in another state

THE LOVELY DEBUrANrE.

There was the woman who was new
painfully new; us she shook hands
with you her gloves cracked because
they had not been stretched enough,
and as she walked her patent feathers
glittered so that you couldn't help but
believe that she had IN electric battery
concealed about her. She lives in new
house, she has Just gotten into society,
her trap is new, and she has not learned
the great art OF concealing from the
world at large TINT all the dollars she
POSSESSES are as new as possible and rs
shining. With her is the woman who
has gotten her her invitation. Who is
going around and helping her push her
way into society consideration.
Not for money. Oh! dear, no! This
would be insulting, No, the woman
who is helping her takes gowns, jewels,
drives and occasionally IL big check for
i charity. We all know where charity
begins. In return she teaches the new
woman how to order d dinner at Del
nonicn's; selects the people to be invited,
is seen at the theatre with her, through
her pays her own social debts, and says
to the people whom she bcgs to meet
her, "Oh do ask her; Of course she is
nobody--shc is horribly vulgar, but she
can be awfully kind to me" And SO
she is accepted. Sometimes the lady
with social aspirations discovers tho
methods Of her sponsor, and then, if
she has any foothold at all, she kicks the
traces and rides into society rough shod.
Then the other woman goes about tell
ing of her ingratltude, but nobody pays
much attention TO the other woman; for
her ways are well known to all the inner
circle.

ing before me; it is the picture of m old
wOman-a dirty, untidy old woman,
who, because OF her name and wealth,

black the reputation Of woman, and
who doesn't hesitate to do it. She elects
a very odd way; she commences by say
ing: You know | never speak badly
about anybody, but | did hear, though

that there is u dark haired fellow always
going around with Mrs. Dash, and her

her, FOR | never care to discuss people"
