Our proverh. "Devil catch the hindmost." ."
is based on one Of the curious shadow leg
ends. According to the fable the devil had
a regular school at Toledo, Spain. "Com-
mencement" was inaugurated by the grad
uating class running through long sub
terranean hall. The devil hid at a place
known only to himself, and if he caught
the hindmost' ever after claimed him or
her rs his special property Sometimes he
only caught the shadow, and the persons
thus deprived Of their second selr' were
supposed to make the best astrologors and
magicians. Nearly all East Indian tribes.

and thus draw the owner to certain death.
Several writer's, Fiske among the rest.
say that the Zulus have a superstition sim
liar to that of the old Babylonians-viz.
that a dead body has no shadow. The Mo
docs and the klamaths of Dragon formerly
refused to have their pictures taken for
fear that the process would take away their
shadows. In the Aryan folk tale the
"Witchdalo," or Internal Sabbath" was

A scolOINe NEWSPAPER WOMAN.
She Flourishsd Fifty Years Ago and Had
Things Her own Way.

AhAnEs her own way.
Woman, it seems, has an added count in
the long indictment already against her
there IS reason to believe that she is tho
mother Of personal journalism" And, as
everybody knows, personal journalism very
much resembles the little girl who was
either very, very good" or else she was
"horrid."
Mrs. Annie Royal was the pioneer in this
sort of work, and her gossipy articles in
The first half Of this century were a revela-
zion to newspaper folk in Washington,
where they first appeared.
In December, 1886, Mrs. Royal began
her enterprise. She managed 90 secure an
old Ramage printing press and a font of
battered long primer type, and aided by
runaway apprentices and tramp journey
men she published on Capitol hill for near
ly 20 years small weekly sheet called
The Huntress. Her manner Of securing
subscribers was original and usually sue
cessful. Every person living in Washing
ton and all distinguished visitors were
promptly called upon by her. IL she was
well received and they subscribed for her
paper, she gave them a flowery notice in the
next issue, and if they did not talked most
abusively Of them, vide the following ex-
tracts.
Mrs. Darby is the lady Of the Hon. John
+. Darby. She is in the prime of life, with
tall, pleasing figure of the De Medicis pro-
portions. Her carriage is extremely grace
full and ladylike. Her beautiful face is
round, fair and full, with features of fine
symmetry and the sweetest hazel eyes in
creation. Poor lady we sympathize with
her in her family ahliction-she had a very
sick child when we called last week"
The next extract was the close of long
TRADE against Harriet b. Stowe and her
family.
About the year 1926 we were called on
business with Lafayette) to Boston, where
DIR. Lyman Beecher then lived, as he does
now, in the height Of his pious labor, as far
as he dare go. He preached nightly to
servant girls mostly. Scarcely any men
went TO hear him, and none at all of the
first class OF society, as we were informed.
We saw him often at our boarding house,
but he gained much i'll will by his noctur-
nal visits to gentlemen's houses and slip
ping incendiary papers under their doors, as
we heard after we left Boston"
Mrs Royals tongue and pen, always
sharp, took added fire with age. She ended
by being formally indicted as n common
scold and was tried in the circuit court be-
fore Judge Cranch The jury returned a
verdict Of guilty, but her counsel pleaded
so hard that she was finally let off with a
fine, escaping the ducking stool.-Albany

passed an excellent man. Mr. Carpenter,
who has been efficient and useful on
that commission, and put on, as he was
compelled to do, new man. We have no
objection to the presence Of Colonel
Enoch Moore; but the absence Of Joseph
L. Carpenter, Jr, means personal ad-
vantage to he aims of Mayor Wiley, or
his hackers, and something for Republi-
canism Mayor Wiley had already
placed one man on that commission.
These changes portend much. There
is $500, COO to be expended by that COM
mission before the next election. The
money that has been expended on the
streets and sewers, by the present
commissioners, has been well spent.
Mayor Wiley, his party, and most es-
pecially those who have gained promin-
ence within four years, do not intend
TO institute any reforms-they will not
change for the better They have not
had the assurance to intimate that
they would institute any reforms.
The bill asking for four commissioners
is intended to checbmate Mayor Wiley;
to put the commission out of politics +;
and TO retain the skill and experience of
the old commission.

Reciprocity was not an invention Of
Major McKinley's With all Of his ia.
naticism Of ignorance and mal-informa
tion, he is not to blame for that piece
Of intensified folly which goes under
the generic name Of reciprocity
Blaine invented that argument Of
sound not dignided by sense. The man
who did not know law, or commerce /;
who was not the master Of any science,
or art, except the art Of CAB But
Mckinley did let a reciprocity clause
get into his famous bill II provided
that those countries which would not
reciprocste trade with us should be
punished. Under that theory, which is
wise and beautiful to a tin plate intel
lect, President Harrison imposed tax Of
three cents a pound on coffee from all
countries declining to trade satisfactorily
with this country.
Venezuela Colombia and Hayti did not
do all that was demanded of them, and
hence the duty was proclaimed against
them The duty being almost prohibi-
tory, the growers are compelled to send
their coifees to Europe. But an immense
demand is caused here for all kinds Of
other cofees that approach the grades
excluded and that are non. .dutiable.
Naturally, the growers Of such coifees
know how to turn this state Of things to
their advantage. They have advanced
their prices almost to parity Of the
coiiees on which a duty has been imposed,
and our consumers are obliged to pay u
tax on all mild coifees and higher grade
Brazil coifees that can be used as substi.
tutes for the cofTees excluded. Conser-
vative estimates show that we pay more
than eight million dollars year to punish
Venezuela, Colombia and Hayti for de
clining to accept our reciprocity
scheme. More than that; we increase
the price o n their coffee, force it into
other markets and pay higher prices for
inferior coffees that we get instead
That is one Of the curlosities Of the
Mckinley bill legislation. In the anxiety
of this Ohio statesman to procure prosper
ity-to force our high-priced goods on the
Latin American states-he did not
hesitate to make us pay almost nine
million dollars year for our failure to
get the trade which England gets with
cheaper and better goods
Ir seems that Major Mckinley cannot
learn that the simple maxim Of trade is
to make it advantageous TO both parties.
Trade cannot be forced it is not profit
able to buy it. Those stubborn coun.
tries can stand this coffee situation about
as long as we can; the nine million dol
lars extra we are paying for coffee does
not hurt them Even if English goods
we're dearer they would have more
money-higher priced cofIee-with which
to pay for them But English goods are
cheaper Verify protectionism is a great
scheme and reciprocity is fit corollary

Of Republicanism, in Wilmington; as
Higginsism, was the active principle Of

these are the elements, which force COM
missions and changes upon us in order to
promote an efficient governme Mt and to
stay the extravagant misuse of money.
The facts which lead us to make these
assertions are depressing. We give an
epitome Of them. Several years ago a
speculative millionaire appeared at Dover
to capture the office Of Republican sen
ator. Mr. Addicks was not known in
Delaware except as millionaire. Stories
Of his immense wealth were promoted
aud proclaimed. Since then there have
been frequent reports Of the lavish use
Of his money for the purpose Of putting
up gas works here and influencing elec
tions for that purpose.
We have no objection to Mr.. Addicks
or to his gas works, provided he means
well and deals legitimately aud honestly.
The history of such enterprises else
where however, do not warrant a toe
confident faith in either
Our late mayor was employed as an
attorney for Mr.. Addicks, and was thus
placed in the double role Of city official
resisting the encroachments Of a
doubtful gas enterprise and an
attorney for millionaire speeu
lstor. The present mayor is moi
an attorney; he cannot accept a retainer
simultaneously with q salary, but he ha.
not won any reputation for resisting
temptations or for diseiplining thos,
under him who became notorious fol
yielding TO temptations with unresistine
eagerness.
Two chiefs belonging to this cult hav,
