that her life had been insured shortly
before the fire for $1,000. The officers
got the children to talk freely. Evi-
IDENTIFY to cover up his acts, Neise had
coaxed the children to say nothing
against him and coached them what
to say. Harry, the eldest, was thrown
off his guard and said that they knew
about the tire'befor9 their mamma was
burned; that they saw in the room
where the fire was before the flames
had reached her bed, and that the floor
was sprinkled with something like wa

their faces up so they could see no

her father had told her the morning
before the fire that if the house burn
ed up and if her mamma was burned

A pert young Scotch advocate,
whose case had gone against him, had
the temerity to exclaim that ''he was
much astonished at such a decision.,' >
whereupon the court was about to
commit him to Jail, when John Scott,
afterwards Lord Eldon, the counsel
on the other side, interferred in his
favor: My lords, my learned friend
IS young; if he had known your lord
ships as long as have done, he would
not have expressed astonishment at
any decision of your lordships"-an
apology which seemed to satisfy the

Election of Officers Mt the Annual Meeting
Tuesday--President Taylor Indicates
the Line of Work for the Winter.
The annual meeting of the Associated
Charities of Wilmington was held Tues
day evening at the offices No. 937 Tat
nall street,
The reports of the various depart
ments of the association indicate a
thorough preparation for the winters
campaign. Following the reading of the
reports annual election was held and re-
suited as follows: President, Daniel W.
Taylor; Vice President, Mrs. A. D.
Warner; Secretary, Mrs. Emily X. Mid
dleton; Treasurer, Wilmer Palmer;Super-
intendent, Mrs. M. A. Mather.
In view of the outlook and the clear
indications that large aid of pecuniary
nature will be required from the COM
munity in order in any proper degree to
carry out the responsibilities of the
organization President Taylor stated
that he had been trying to arrange for
systematic cooperation between the
City Council, the Trustees of the Poor,
and the Associated Charities. He held
the strongest hopes that something sub

poor would be secured during the win
ter months to the extent that the public
bodies would be able to afford it.
How the public can best help carry for

ties was also a matter of discussion. The
men and women who have canvassed
the city and who are acquainted with
the detail of charity work believe that

organization. Their knowledge of the
people who ask for and who will need
help and the confidence these people
have in the officers Of the Associated
Charities will insure helping the deserv-
ing poor and the detection of impostors,
The great need of all help to prevent
suffering will demand all that can be
collected and as a means of swelling the
funds of the charitable societies charity
ball and a fair were suggested for the
early future.

Stone of Mississippi has addressed a
letter to the editor of the New York
Sun, denying in emphatic terms the re-
ports of the burning of cotton gins by
White Caps in Mississippi, which sp.
pearod in the Sun and other northern
papers.
The governor says that since these
outrageous stories began to be pub.
lished he has employed every means in
his power to find out what foundation
there was for them, aud he has found
that there is none. Not single gin
has been burned by White Caps or any
other kind OF mob since the season Of
1898 commenced. A few gins have been
postad, possibly by some crank or harm
less sneak, but none Of them have beer
set on fire as threatened.

editor of the the Sun for the name Of
the correspondent who has sent out tn,
