The BROOKLYN Eagle says:


1.-THE last parsonage named Sherman,
whose words concerning a public event
would be accepted without question, died
when the general of the army OF the
United States ceased from life"
Has our contemporary forgotten that
General Sherman once made a statement
at G. A. r. banquet about "a letter writ
ten by Southern general then a Senator
OF the United States" which stated that
President Davis had told him that he
Davis would turn the guns of Lees
army on any Southern State which at
tempted to secede; that this story Mr..
Davis pronounced a base falsehood, and
defed the General 10 prove his state
ment: that the General miserably failed
10 do so, and quietly let the matter pass
into oblivion, as he hoped? Then, does
our contemporary not remember that
General Fry, Of the United States army,
proved positively. by publishing a letter
written by General Sherman, that the
General had once denounced General
Grant after he had denied It? 1t was
only few years ago that these things
happened, and they show that Senator
Sherman is not the only one of his name
whose words concerning a public event
would not be accepted without question:"

Shot by His 1S-years-oid Playmate,
William Macklin, While Cunning for
Rabbits.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
MILFORD, Dec. 1.-William Macklin, the
ls-years-old son OF Samuel Macklin, yes
terday shot and killed jerry Cannon, son
of Isaiah Cannon. one year his junior.
while out cunning for rabbits in the woods
near Cedar Neck Church, four miles east
of Milford.
The load entered the right breast Of
young Cannon, killing him instantly. His
dead body was taken TO the home of his
parents, not far from the scene of the kill
ing, to await the action of the coroner.
MacKlin is still at large
There were several boys present when
the shooting occurred. but they refuse to
talk about The matter until the inquest.
The killing is believed to be purely acct
dental. as the boys were intimate friends
and almost always together. Both were
colored, SONS OF weil-to'do parents and
good farmers.
Coroner Wiley held an inquest over the
remains, and the jury rendered verdict
that deceased came to his death by the
accidental discharge of q gun i'll the hands
of William Macklin. In accordance with
the facts in the case, as heard in evidence,
we exonarate Macklin from all blame.
The evidence showed that Mackln was
walking through the woods Immediately
ahead of young Cannon, when the trigger
of his gun was thrown by catching in the
limb of tree and the gun discharged
sending the entire load into the right
breast of his companion. Cannon never
uttered sound after lie was shot.

How the Eifete Farmers of Hindoostan
Are Ahead of Those i'm Delaware---A
Very Ingenious Trick.
The following is big pointer for
Delaware dairymen. The story is taken
from the one of the new books OF the
Wilmington Institute Library. Upon it
and the head of Librarian Tyler the
responsibility, of course lies. The Incl
dent, which is found in passage in the
story of European lady whose forced
residence in India gave her abundant
opportunity of observation of men and
things, is told in thorough seriousness.
The lady in question went out one
morning to see the new COW her hus-
band had just purchased for the daily
milk needs of the household. At the
end of the compound, or, as we call il
here the yard, she found the animal
standing in shed. Back in the recesses
of the structure was what dimly looked
like calf. The COW resented the lady's
presence, and hut for the rope with
which it was tcthered, would probably
have made the lady regret the visit The
writer goes on to say;
"rhis was partly on account Of the
calf which stood a little way off, bu'
well within the maternal vision, and il
was quite an unreasonable demonstra
ton, as the calf was stuffed, and pu
there to act upon the cows imagina
ton only. This is necessary expedien
to ensure milk in India from q COW tina
has no calf of her own. 1t is a painfu
imposition, but one that is uniformly
| successful"

Mowbray, Dobbins and Scott discussed the
question with much interest and varying
views. The secretary requested formal
answer for publication.
After proposing a slight change in the
wording of the question Mr.. Barrett moved
an answer in the affirmative. This was
discussed by Messrs. France. Jewell, Quigg

President favors."
Mr.. 5. L. Payne IN, W, Republican
member of the ways and means com
mittee, said: "rhe minority members
of the ways and means committee have
had no information as to the plan Of
the majority members for internal
revenue taxation. The statement by
the President that the income of corpo-
rations are to be taxed is original to us.
Now that the President has told US
what should be done in reference to
internal revenue taxation, suppose the
committee will adopt his plan"
Mr.. Grosvenor II. (O.) said the
tariff is the only affirmative portion of
the message, and it Is thoroughly on the
line OF the Chicago platform. The
Presidents defiance of public opinion
is in the nature of an appeal to Demo-
Gratis not TO be alarmed 1T the results of
the recent elections. 1t can hardly be
ascertained whether he approves the full
bill or not, but he endorses the radical
features. His apology to soldiers for the
action Of the Secretary of the Interior
comes too late and gives no sufficient
reason for the attack made on them.

Efforts to obtain expressions from
leading Democratic members of both

Editor Gazette: AS one having
read the article in the Morning Netos Of
Wednesday, would beg space to ask
why the writer of the article in regard
to the cigar trade did not start TO write
up his letters before the passage of the
Mckinley bill, Or he seems to be some
what acquainted with the trade. / agree
with him in regard to making such q
change as he states is proposed, for it
would be far worse than it is at present
to make any reduction on the import
duties of foreign cigars, even If the
duties of Sumatra wrappers are reduced;
but let me ask the writer If he was
acquainted with the trade before the
passage of the Mckinley bill IL 50,
does he know the loss caused not only
to the workmen but to all small manu-
facturers by the passage of that bill,
and how many thousands of dollars
were made by the leaf dealers of the
United States who asked to have the
bill passed?
don't think the petitions sent to
Washington will show that way, but let
us go back to before the passage of the
Mckinley tariff. The duty on Sumatra
leaf war 35 cents per pound. The leaf
dealers sent petition to have it raised
and it was raised to So per pound.
Where does the money man come in
nowg As soon as it was settled fact
that the duty was going on, Sumatra
was shipped into the country as fast as
they could buy it, and they only paid
the duty of 80 cents per pound on it.
As soon as the duty went up To SO they
advanced the difference which was only
$1.65 per pound. Now suppose the
writer had bought about 100000 pounds
what would his profits be after the rise
But the small dealer could not import
his tobacco before the rise, so he had tc
buy from those who did, and the dealers
would not pay more for their goods, 81
the manufacturer, to retain his profits
had to reduce wages or not hold hi
trade, since the consumer demands q!
good cigar as the large manufacturer
can furnish, and the large manufac
turers had the money to import Sumatrt
and get the benefit of the rise. Nov
they are satisfied for a reduction anC
hope for the Republicans to again get il
power and raise it again; but, if tn
Net0s writer wishes to help the work
men let him say give us free tobacc,
and higher duty on imported cigars
When that time comes, If he wishes Il
know what the Mckinley bill has don
will take them and show them.

New York, delivered two lectures in
this city Monday on "The Purpose and
Work of the White Cross Society,"" In

for women only, which was held in the
New. Century Clubs building, and in

People have no doubt often wondered
what has become of the thousands of
old negatives remaining in photog-
raphers' hands. The quantities that ac-
cumulate in few years amount in
weight to many tons of glass. They
take up so much room that the photog-
rapher at length, after 10 or IL years
storing of the negatives finds it neces-
sary to dispose of them any way he can.
Someone else has now turned up,
just in the nick of time, and he is the
builder of conservatory sashes. 1t seems
that the soft gray tone of the negative
is the exact medium of light needed by
the people who make business Of rails
ing hot-house plants. No other glass
suits him so well for various reasons as
the old Photographic negative.
For several years the representative
of big New York mandatory has
been visiting Wilmington and buying
up all the old negatives Sometimes
they leave with several tons of glass,
Last week $4,000 negatives, varying III
age from % to 5 years were sent from
A. P. Beecher's studio, No. 315 Market
street, to New York city.
1t is understood thatthe manufacturer
who uses the negatives for his conserva,
tory sashes can sell them cheaper thar
| it would cost others to manufacture the
sash alone. This is largely through the
fact of the cheapness with which he OBJ
tains the cargo of old negatives.
1t is an odd idea TO think that in al
accidental visit to an obscure conserva
tory in lower Virginia one may recog
nlze the negative of an old friend beam
ing down on roses, carnations and ferns
As there are at least 800 photographer
in Philadelphia alone, the extent of tn
new business and the probabilities o
wides diffusion of portraits may b
imagined.

There being no fire apparatus at Re-
hoboth, no effort could be made TO save
the building. The Bright was valued at
$4,000 and there is probably an insur-
ance Of $4,000 on house and furniture.
The Bright House was erected by
William Bright Of this city in 1875, and
was opened the following year. 1t cost
him $4,000.
Ii is by far the largest hotel at Rebo-
both, being 100 feet front and the main
building 80 feet deep. 1t had 100 rooms.
1t was carefully constructed under Mr..
Brights personal supervision, of the

decided that the law was constitutional
The court further held that, the proceed
ing against the Lees being criminal in
its nature, the court below erred in order
ing the defendants to give testimony in
favor Of the government. This erroi
was sufficient to warrant reversal o.
the judgment and to remand the cast
for new trial.
