The State Of Delaware Is supposed to
have two Stnte Detectives whose duties
are to ferret out crime In the State.
They are entirely under the direction
of the Attorney General Of the State
and can be sent by him to any part Of
the state. 1t Is but seldom, however,
that they get beyond the city of Will
Imington. An exception WINS when
they did good service in Delaware
City in bringing to justice the muir
derer OF Noah Benson.
There ia no need OF these State de-
tectives In the city Of Wilmington. The
City has an ample police force and two
detectives that cannot go beyond the
city, but Notwithstanding this, tho
two State detectives persist In con.
timing themselves to the city, their
principal business being apparently to
do little partisan jobs for the firm OF
Reynolds. Dickey and Giles, calculated
to prevent Republicans from qualify
ling to vote.
1t seems to be none OF their business
how many murders by pistol. knife or
poison takes place down in Sussex
, and Kent counties, these State deteo-
. tives are apparently oblivious of the
facts, and prefer to remain here ready
, at any opportunity to pounce upon
, Republicans who are trying to qualify
/, for the exercise of the elective fran.
) chise, as Mr.. Mcvey says. by the au
thority Of the States Attorney Gen
.ieral. A week has elapsed since the
, first reports OF the terrible well-pois-
oning case reached the public, and
yet we have not heard OF either Mr..
,Glles or Mr.. McVey being in any way
, concerned about It,
Had 1t been political disturbance
in which some Republicans were con.
tending for their rights. there is not
n the least doubt tina Mr.. McYey would
have flown on the wings of the wind t.
break the back Of some luckless Re-
publican who would not run at the
n first command to dispense. But here
n Is one OF tho most diabolical crimes OF
b. the age in which several human lives
have been sacrificed, besides a number
OF horses and cattle. and yet We heai

AttorneyGiles and his swift winged de
n tective McVey TO ferret out the crime

A Perplexity Caused by Womnn's invasion
into Business Life.
The nrogress Of the female sex into the
world Of business has given rise to some
hard problems. One Of these is the form
Of address to be employed in a letter to
a business woman. When she signs her
name merely as MARY Jones, attorney
at-law." the recipient OF the letter is at
a loss whether to reply 10 Dear Madam
or Dear Miss" When a "Co." Is at
tached and it becomes a firm. the per-
plexity is just doubled.
A letter was recently received In the
Pension office from "Belva A. Lockwood
& CO." The stereOtyped form Of reply
would be "Belva A. Lockwood & Co.,
gentlemen" but this was obviously out
Of place. Ladies could not be substi-
tuted because no one knew the sex OF
the "Co.," and moreover that form OF
address seemed Inappropriate. The diff
Guilty was solved by using the hrm name
alone in the address.
The same perplexity has disturbed the
councils of a chapter Of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution. The presiding
officer could not be addressed as Mr..

did not contemplate woman suffrage, for
II makes no provision for the case. Re-

CAPITOL GHOSTS.
GREWSOME SPECIFIES HAUNT THE
BUILDING At WASHINGTON.
Phantoms Of General Logan and Guiteau'
Spooks that are Familiar to the "atch-
men by Long Acquaintance.

The United States Capitol is full OF
ghosts. At least three such apparitions

PENDANTS who guard the great building
and keep II in order, says the Washlns-
TON Star. According to the testimony OF
acme of them, at 1920 every night Cen

Committee on Military and Militia Oh
which he used to be chairman pehea'h
the Senate chamber. He opens the door
slowly. and stepping out closes 1t silently
behind him, proceeding thereupon with
no,seIess tread along the corridor west

Not far from the same locality. under
the portico of the Senate wing, the ghost
of an elderly colored man scrubs every
night before daybreak the same marble
floors which he used to clean regularly
for years while living. His name was
Osborne, and he died rather more than d

The phantom which has been longest
known az the Capitol, however, haunts
the basement Of the House or Represeh-

~laureateship would be an Office In every
way consistent with our democratic
usages. while at the same time limiting
most wholesomely and handsomely OF
tina great literary and aesthetic debt
which we owe TO the mother country.
There is nothing monarchial, however,
In such an idea, and it might well be
made one OF the GROWING graces OF a
mighty republic like our own. OF our
own living singers, I should say Oliver
Wendell Holmes first deserves the honor.
Like Horace, the lauriger Horatius, whom
in many ways he resembles. DIT. Holmes
has always been the prince of "occa-

age the gift would be a glorious one and
