WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

"It is another one of Blaine's
schemes to get Mr.. Harrison
in a n awkward position"
said a republican Senator
who is not Il very ardent ad-
mirer OF the Secretary ofState
speaking of the coming ofthe
Commissioners of the Cana
dian government to try to
nagotiate te Il treaty Of reci-
procity Blaine" continued
the Senator, ''has alwayspr
fessed a Willingness to lego
tiate, bat | happen to know
that he is opposed to giving
Canada even the slightest
trade concessions, no matter
how much she is willing to
give us in exchange. He
brought the Canadian Cnm-
missioners here on a FOOLS
errand last, year, rs you may
remember, and Mr.. Harrison,
unwilling to delude them with
any false hopes, sent them
home SO abruptly and curtly
that many people regarded
it as a snuD administered to
the representatives Of friend
" government. Bnt Mr.. Har-
rison knew that it was use
less to open negotiations
with hem that were bound
to result in nothing. What
Blaine's idea is now I do not
know. bnt | feel certain that
he is responsible for the com.
ing Of the Commissioners Il.
gain at this time, and that
his object is in some manner
TO trick the President" Nc
one here seems to have any
idea that the Canadians will
accomplish anything by CON
! ing here.

Trpasury-Foster is here, but
he has not resumed his Off

BLAINE NOT A CANDIDATE.

NOMINATION..
WASHINGTON, Feb 6. |
Hon. j. s. Clarkson, Chair
man of the Republican Ma
tional Convention:
Ny DEAR SIR am not a
candidate for the presidency,
and my name will not go be-
fore. the Republican National
Convention for the nomina-
ton. make this announce
ment in due season. 70 those
who have rendered ME their
support | owe sincere thanks
and am most grateful for
their confidence. They will,
Iam sure mnkcearnest effort
in the approaching contest.
which is rendered specially i'm
portunt 10y reason OF the in
dustrial and financial poll
cies OF the government being
ut stake. The popular decis-
ion OF these ISSUES is OF great
moment and will be OF far
reaching consequence.
terely yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE"
The New York Herald has
t he follWoing to say upon the
above letter:
"Mr. james 6. Blaine has
declared over his own signa
tue that he will not be n can
didatc for the presidency in
he approaching battle ofthe
parties.
This eliminates from the
political campaign IL very
important element. SO far
as the republicans are con
cerned. it may be said, with.
Out fear Of contradiction.
that they have lost their
stl ongest man. BY all odds
Mr.. Blaine was their most a
vallable leader. Even in a
subordinate position as Sec
retarv ofState, he has thrown
his chief into the shadowy
background. President Har
risOn claims che respect oil his
party, the name of Blaine
rouses its enthusiasm. Har-
risOn is a fine specimen OF
statesmanlike mediocrity; Mr.
Blaine he's the gen ius oi
sta atesmahship, with many OF
the faults which genius i'm
plies.
As to the Democrats, their
smewdest opponent has re,
tired from the field. They
have II large number OF men
who can certainly winagainst
Harrison and who ought to
be able to win against Blaine,
Ii they handle their forces
with skill and enter the con
test with II strong Western
man it will 5e their own fault
if they fail to carry the day,
for the great bulk of the A.
melican people in all sections
OF the country are with them

Obituary.

In memory of Mrs. Mary Rule,
who was born in Blount county
Tennessee Jan. 25th. 1914 and died
Nov. % 1917 She was married Aug.
9Th. 1888, to p. Rule with whom she
lived happily 53years. AS result
Of this marriage they had nine chill
dren, three sons and six daughters,
two of whom died in infancy one
son and one daughter, and one
daughter married and died soon
after. The other four daughters
and two sons are all christians
except Mack our deservedly popular
Trustee, who is a high minded gen.
tleman. Sister Rule embraced re.
ligion in early life and lived a con-
sistant christian. She was a help
mate indeed: I think one of the
most industrious women I ever saw
She was loyal to God, to the church
and to the Government. The writ.
err visited her in her last sickness,
and although she suffered she did
not complain, always expressing
her resignation to the will of the
Lord. She is doubtless enjoying the
rest that remains for the good with
her sainted husband and children
May all of the family enter into
that rest at last.

Thursday evening heavy rain
storm come up causing a large num-
Der Of the citizens to stay away who
had contemplated being at the re-
ception. But the boys enjoyed
themselves in spite of the storm
The program was interesting and
was interspersed with good music
by the Hartman Band. The best
thing of the evening was the recit.
al of 81 am a Veterans Daughter
by little Miss Olive Veazey. She
delivered this beautiful recitation
in excellent style aad the boys gave
her prolonged and enthusiastic
cheer. Lieut.. Col. Glib, w. H. Nc
Glaufin and w. G. Hartman fol
lowed in short and interesting
speeches. Then came the presen
tation of a beautiful engraved silver
cross to Col. w. R. Cooper. Past
Col. Friedman made the presenta
ton speech in his usually eloquen'
and versatile style. Col. Cooper re
sponded feelingly. The cross was
given by the Sons of Veterans as ;
testimonial of their love and esteem
for one who has done so much IL
build up the order during his adj
ministratiOn.
Col. Good made the closing speech
of the evening.
Thus ended the most prosperous
year of this division.
After the exercises of the evening
were over the boys went to the pal
atial Cumberland Hotel, where
most of them were stopping, anc
there they enjoyed piano, fife and
drum music, under the leadership
of Past Col. Friedman, who is
master musician with any instru
ment that has notes.
The next morning good-byes were
said and the boys parted with re
grets and promises to meet AGAR
in Greeneville, the Second Wednes
day in April.

Levy Court into building bridges within
sary to have them within almost stones
throw of each other. then let the city or
the renl estate men who are urging it build
the bridge. If Wilmington is going to ask
that the county do this, then we had better
cut loose from her on the question of
bridges, for ! understand that it is two
and half miles between bridges on the
Brandywine north of Market street.
Why does not the Levy Court select
some good site where the bridge will be
public convenience and where it will
answer the needs of Il growing city like
Wilmington for ut least few years, and
then build one, if ii will be public benefit
and they have enough money! 1t will not
do for them to take too much stock in the
plans of real estate dealers that may not
pan out.
1t seems that the people of Wilmington
and vicinity are divided on where that site
should be, and if the Levy Court select
one let il be Mt a place that will not require
lis to pay for another too soon.
We country people do not want to die
tate. We think that bridge may be a
great benefit to the city and Brandywine
hundred, but we do ask the Levy Court to
put it where it will answer for years to
come, and not right alongside the one they

NO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Daniel II. Wolfe is weii-isnown Victim
of the ChIoroform Habit.

The statement that Daniel X. Wolfe at
tempted suicide at the Clayton House yes
tcrday week is untrue. IL is fact that
he inhaled chloroform.
He is addicted to its use and has been for
years, Just the same as is common among
chloral victims, or, for that matter. those
addicted to the opium habit. In Wofe's
case the habit seems confirmed. But the
idea of suicide was as far from him as
from any visitor to an opium joint. lie
purchased the drug, repaired to his room,
partook of il and then laid down to sleep
off the effects, as is his usual custom. Had
he been let alone he would have recovered
in the usual way. The published asser-
ton that Wolfe attempted suicide is
laughed at by those who know him at his
home in New Castle and who we'll know
his unfortunate habit
Daniel X. Wolfe is man highly es-
teemed at his home. He is possessed of
marked business ability. His only trouble
being the unfortunate habit which he has
contracted. Two years ago in the Della
ware House here there was the same ex-
perience, but there they knew of his habit.
Some time ago also in Camden, N. j., it
happened again. This occasion of yesterday
week is the first for space of four or five
months. His friends were hoping that he
had managed to overcome it.. They are
much chagrined over the occurrence, es-
pecially in regard to the suggestion of at
tempted suicide.
Dr. Baird the police physician. dag
nosed the case rs ''chloroform drunk"
Wolfe is now at his home in New Castle
completely recovered.
