UNEASY POWERS.
The DEATH Of the sultan of Morocco rr,s
Aroused Serious Approximations.

Morocco
Aroused Serious approximations
Nothing for months has so seriously
aroused the approximations of the powers
Of Europe IS the death OF the sultan of
Morocco t.o ether day. The reason is
that this large country at the entrance
to the Mediterranean holds what ~ real
~ the most important strategical posi-
ton in the world. The power which
secured the Moorish harbor on the strait
81 GIOraltar would control the entrance
50 the sen much more completely than Is
possible from the heights OF Gibraltar.
England would OF course be most men
aced by amy change in the control Of the
Moorish territory, and ii may be said
without hesitation that if France had
attempted to use IA opportunity TO gain
new rights under the changed admins
tration, rs was feared, for day or two
after the dramatic dispatch of her fleet
80 Moorish waters, she might do. war
with England would have been almost
inevitable. The progress OF events.
therefore, is being watched with the
greatest anxiety throughout Europe.
No one now pretends that England
could control the entrance to the Medi-
terranean by means of the Gibraltar
works. The lack of a harbor there
makes it impossible. A diplomat of
high authority in such matters said to
me that, if it became expedient, Eng
land would probably offer Gibraltar to
Spain as an immense bride to secure the
formation of an alliance for the joint
control of Tangier. Such a proposal
would be of great practical advantage
to England, although it would undoubt-
eddy arouse u storm of sentimental pro-
test. Spain would naturally be eager to
accept on any reasonable terms the res
toration of the famous stronghold. Tho
present indications are that no imme-
diato crisis Will arise from the change
of rulers. -New York Suns London

We are not at all surprised at our

We have adopted the policy of quick

rate policy for both the buyer and
seller. 1t means TRUE ECONOMY
good things need not be high

There is a certain hard wall of
facts and fgnres however, that
stands between possibility and prod
igal promises. There are certain
prices below which no good, honest
article can be bought. Those prices
are our's,-if you pay less you will
certainly get less. This is plain
statement worth remembering
We don't know what got into the

TOO RAPID" MONEY MAKING.
The Imperfect Gold Coin Because of Which
aTexan Was Imprisoned.


That was an interesting and instruct
i've little paragraph in The Star which
told the story of Il 50 goldpiece, sus-
peCted of being counterfeit, which was
sent to the director Of the mint by g
special inspector of customs at Ell Paso.
The piece was defective, and upon its
appearance Il man was arrested at Ell
Paso and charged with the circulation
of counterfeit coin.
Director Preston, 3" says The Star S
report, observed that the coin lacked
sorority, and from its general appear
ance suspected that, owing to too rapid
rolling of the gold strips preparatory to
cutting the planchettes, an air bubble or
blister was formed just at the spot in
the strip from which the coin was cut. .
Very little investigation showed the
diagnosis Of the director to be correct,
and it was then stated that ''these slight
imperfectiOus occur occasionally, espe-
cially when the strips are rolled rap
idly. -
The explanation will doubtless be re-
garded as perfectly satisfactory by
thoughtless folk and Will be greeted
with delight by the unfortunate person
who has been held in custody at I'll
Paso, and who has suffered much indlg-
nifty and real injury because there was
carelessness III the mawing of the coin.
The matter, however, is one Of more
than little interest, for no one knows
whose turn it Will next be to be arrested
on account of the overhaste or lack o.
skill of q government employee in one
of the mints. Why should the rolling be
done ''too rapidly?" Everybody knows
all about the extreme poverty of the gov
eminent, but the republic is certainly
rich enough to make its money resem-
BILE so nearly a given standard that no
one will be jailed for attempting to put
it to legitimate use. -Washington Star.

DAYS of Disorder.

A Madrid correspondent telegraphS
that the two or three days interval be
tween the death of the sultan and the
proclamation of his successor Were, &C
cording TO the national custom, a period
of bloody anarchy. The Moors call It
''the day of vengeance. " Disorders, pill
lage, murder and rioting ragged through
out the land. Family feuds We're fought
out, individual and tribal vendettas
We're savagely waged, the wealthy and
Jews were pillaged by those who dur
ing the life of the sultan had been OPP
pressed by them, and the accumulate
resentments and revenge of years were
satisfied. 1t was practically violent
mixture of the Old Testament jubilee
and the Roman slave day. Crimes COM
mitted in this period are unpublished

Men Who Lived at the Hoffman House ana

Men Who Lived at the Hoffman House and
Never Paid Anything Tor Board.
The abrupt closing of the Hoffman
House has been taken as a burning and
unprovoked insult by number of men
who have been living i'll that establish
ment for great many years, and who
are hot and loud in their denunciatiOn
of Proprietor Stokes. 1t is characteristic
that this little group Of Hoffman House
habitues should be particularly sharp in
their comments ON Mr. Stokes action,
because they have been known as his
'charity patients for years.
Two of them have lived in the Hoff
man House for upward of 10 years with
out paying cent. Another has never
paid anything, although he is an old
Hoffman House dweller, but he has
justified his position in the establish
ment by running around occasionally
and doing odd jobs for the house Sew
eral of the others are notorious with
their ever existing lack of funds. 1t Is
generally believed that the only way
Mr.. Stokes could get them out of the
house was to take the radical move
which he decided upon early last week.
There was nothing to be done with
the Hoffman House except to build an
entirely new structure. The main part
of the establishment is so old and rick
ETY. that it would be impossible to build
additional stories ON it, and 1T would
have been a waste of money to try &c
improve the existing building. New

greatest satisfaction. The more I see of

ton, etc.
1t is shredding from 200 10 400 tons ol
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger.
quantity If necessary. II delivers the
shredded cane in an even unis rrm feed
TO the three roller mill, which receives il
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability OF broken shafts, gearing etc.
There is z saving OF four (4) men daily
on the mill, az only one man Is required
TO regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. u has
increased the extraction from TO

The economical use of steam il gene

demand necessitated an additional boil

more steam than the three roll mill

Davidson-Yetng,

A very quiet yet pretty wedding took
place at the residence of Mrs. Anna M.
Young, last Thursday afternoon, the
contracting parties being Miss Fannie
L. Young, and G. Frank Davidson, for
merly of Milton, recently resident of
Wilmington. There were many friends
and relatives of both parties present,
quite a number coming from a dis.
tance. On entering tie guests were
received by Misses Edith Collins and
May Armstrong after which the ushers,
Messrs. Frank Startling and John Arm
strong took them in charge and ushered
them to the beautifully decorated par
lor where the wedding was tc be
solemnized. The chimney way was q

arranged so as to make pleasing eff

lilies. Over the organ was a neat
figure in the form Of a Love Knot" I"
made of bridle-wreath and lockwood
branches. From each corner of the
room white ribbon was suspended to
the centre, ending in a white bow.
Promptly at 1.30 the bridal party
entered, the ushers taking the lead fol
lowed by the Bridesmaid, Miss Bertha
Price, and GrOOmsman, Rev. George
Morris, of Wilmington, and the bride

She wore bridal veil and carried a
bunch of roses at her side. The Brides
maid wore cream lansdown with lace
trimmings, carrying also a bunch of
roses.
After the wedding ceremony a pleas.
ant reception was given during which
time the bride and groom received
many congratulations. 1t was well on

The Spring term of the Kent county
court commenced its session at Dover
on Monday with the honorable Judges
in their places and the machinery put
in motion by the Attorney General
That such machinery runs regularly
and without much friction is hardly a
matter of question since material is
prepared so we'll for it. At the very
beginning before a case enters the
Grand Jury room the first question
asked seems to be, chow does the man
vote, question that had never en-
tered his head as belonging to Court
of Justice or having anything to dc
with men, men under oath to deter.
mine law and equity between men
The State may be arrested in its case
right here, and the exercise in the
most quiet way of the right of private
judgement throttled and choked into
nothingness by men who are known to
have no perceptions above those oil
sordidness feelings at variance with
the very essential idea of civil or even
political liberty. Justice may be pict-
ured emblematically as blind-folded
holding the scales of exact justice, but
whoever drew that picture did it before
rottenness had entered the Temple OF
Justice and corrupted it at its very
core.

THE wide interest in the Breckin-
ridge-Pollard case in Washington was
shown in the manifested interest in the
verdict as announced on Saturday
evening of $4,000 in favor of the
plaintiff. 1t was noted and discussed
very much the same as if it had been a
local event. The verdict was received
by nine-tenths of the steady going peo-
pie as q righteous one, not that they
justified in any sense the Pollard wo-
man, but the feeling was that such
duplicity, falsity and hypocrisy as was
shown in the life of Breckinridge de-
served the severest punishment. He
