THURSDAY. ocE rs.


Delaware welcomed Mr.. Bayard Tues
day night in q manner worthy of his
greatness and fully indicative Of herap-
probation of his character Thousands of
people, who could not hope to crowd
themselves into the Opera House, lined
the streets and greeted him as he rode to
the place assigned for the meeting.
Twenty-Five hundred fortunate ones
were inside of the Opera House.
II was not SO much the enthusiastic
greeting of the Delaware Democracy to
its great and ever faithful leader, al
though it would not be frank to conceal
that Mr.. Bayard's return made Tues
: day a glad white day of joy to the
. Democrats of the State. 1t was rather
the welcome that all right-minded Della
wareans gave upon his return to their
fellow-citizen who has always loved his
State with unmixed devotion, and has
added bright luster to her fair fame.
MIR. Bayard's remarks moved along
the high plane that befitted the occa-
sion. They were in keeping with his
lofty public mission as Ambassador to
Great Britain. What he had to say
same to the people warm and fresh
from q heart moved to tenderness by
homecoming and stirred to gratitude
by the greeting given by ncighbors of
life time. His eXtcmporaneous speech
filed the occasion fuller and better than
any artful phrases in carefully pre-
pared address could have done
Professional Republican politicians
have made calm tempered folks smile
by their attempt-utterly futile-to pre-
vent the Republican masses from par
ticipating in the welcome to Mr.. Bayard.
Dir. Bayard is to-day the first citizen of
Delaware, and the people all appreciate
that fact. lie is a lofty type Of the true
Dclawarean, and the people are proud
of him.
The Morning Nere has been iniudi.
cious in the attitude assumed towards
Mr.. Bayard's home coming and wei
come. To misrepresent character so
well known and so established in the
popular heart; to report falsely facts
known and observed by most of its
readers; to twist and misstate such re-
marks as Mr.. Bayard made Tuesdays
grave mistake for any journal. People
who may have hitherto had confidence
in the fairness and truth of the Netcs,
reading it yesterday, must lose that
confidence.
The hold which Mr. Bayard has won
and still retains upon the respect and
affections Of the people, cannot fail to
encourage ambitious young men to fol.
low the high path OF duty and con-
science. Ills career teaches that truth
not falsehood courage not cunning,
patriotism not political manipulation,
craftsmanship not Gemagogy, wins the
approval Of Delawareans ana Of the
American people.

A silver Wreath From America Among
the Presents Received by tho Great
ComDnser on His silver .Inhilne.

Composer on His silver Jubilee.
VIENNA, Oct. 15.-The Johann Strauss
jubilee celebrations were continued to-day
with increased enthusiasm. this being the
5Oth anniversary Of the day. October 10th,
1874, when "Thc Waltz King commenced
his musical career by conducting for the
first time the orchestra at Domayer's
garden, liietzing, then fashionable
resort. During the morning there was n
brilliant reception at which numerous
delegations and hosts of individual
admirers of the great composer were
present.
This evening Mr.. Rudolph Aronsnn Of
New York, congratulated Strauss upon
behalf of his American admirers and pre-
scented the composer with the beautiful
silver wreath subscribed for by the mu-
scian's friends in the United States. This
wreath is about l6 inches in diameter and
has 50 leaves, each leaf being engraved
with the title of one of Strauss compost
tons. In reply, Strauss touchingly re-
ferred to his father and to the great benefit
he had derived from his parents teachings.
The reception and presentations to-day
took place in the composer house. Baron
Bezechy gave Herr Strauss silver table,
ornamented with gold. Burgomaster Grub
said:
II am instructed by the town council TO
greet you in the names OF your Vaterstadt.
TO whose illustrious sons you belong. All
Vienna joins in these celebrations. All
Eienncse without exception, are delighted
that you are able thus to participate. May
you be spared long to be the joy and pride
of your Vaterstadt."
Two other addresses were made by the
spokesmen OF a population OF the Vienna
press.
Then Herr Strauss, his voice display
ing intense emotion, said: II am
not speaker. For all these splendid
presentations | must thank my predrres.

me III what way progress was possible
through the development of the form that
is my single insignificant merit. My efforts
have been feeble attempts to improve the
gifts which inherited. have been extra
fortunate, but | feel thar have been too
greatly honored. Indeed you give me over
much honor"
Herr Strauss hesitated at this point,
placed his hand upon his forehead and
muttered: at is already sufficient" and
then sat down.
LONDON, Oct. 16.--A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna says that Misses
Lillian APPEL and Henriette Cody. youthful
American pianists, congratulated Herr
Strauss.
The dispatch adds that Herr Strauss has
been recommended to the Emperor for the
great medal of arts and science, of which
less than dozen have yet been conferred.

nave They struck a nnrrnina

Senator Higgins friends and ad.
mirers in the rank and file of New
Castle county Republicans have had
consolation. The word has been passed
to them that Mr.. Addicks is not gen.
uine candidate for the Senate at this
time. They are consoled by the state
ment that Senator Higgins and Mr..
Addicks understand one another; that
Mr.. Addicks will let Senator Higgins go
back to the Senate, and Senator Higgins
will in return help Mr.. Addiclss to get
legislation to his hearts content.
Unless there be some such bargain
between those two gentlemen, there will
necessarily develop two Republican
parties in the State between now and
election day. Mr.. Higgins Republican
party will be forced to fight for victory
in New Castle and Sussex counties, and
to cut the Republican ticket to the heart
in Kent county. His fight could not be
quite straight in New Castle county,
either; for here he would have to knife
Robert J. Handy, In Kent his friends
would try To elect the one friend Of
Senator Higgins who has been nomi-
mated there-C. NJ. Mensch. Ii he were
successful in all OF that cross firing,
Senator Higgins might then have show
to defeat Mr.. Addicks in their joint
caucus.
MIR. Addicks' Republican party will
be forced to fight for Republican victory
in Kent and Sussex and let New Castle
alone, for Mr.. Adllcks has almost all of
the nominees in the two lower counties,
and a majority in the whole State.
But if Senator Higgins and Mr..
Addicks have come to mutual under

GnlIind Husband.


CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. l5.-Sccret service
officials, who had arrested man calling
himself John Robertson. discovered to-day
that their prisoner is John Spayne, no.
turious couaterieiter, who has been fugi.
tive for three years. ......
During his examination woman of
beautiful face, but totally blind, appeared
in court and announced herself as Spayne's
wife
james Morton. u well-to,do merchant
who had been called as witness, caught
sight OF the woman, and rushing to her,
declared she was his wife who had disap.
penrcd two years before.
Recognizing MOrton's voice, the blind
woman pituously begged the officers to
protect her from him. She acknowledged
that she was Mrs. Morton, but said her
husband had treated her cruelty and that
she feared him.
Despite Morton's entreaties the woman
refused to go with him, declaring that
SPayne had treated her kindly and that
even though he was criminal, she wonld
remain with him. She told pitiful story
OF i'll treatment and was allowed to leave
the courtroom with the guide who had
accompanied her. Ir
Spayne, whO had appeared deeply
affected by the scene, was sent to jail to
await trial.

DRESS GOODS EXCLUSIVE

Our assured command of
the markets for the finest
Dress GoOas is a fact to be
considered carefully. Years
Of hard work have given our
Dress Goods stock clear and
acknowledged leadership.
Each new season marks
higher achievement. This
season the collection Of ele-
giant Novelties makes the
stock more unapproachable
than ever.
This moderate statement
avoids comparison. That is
left to the public. But intelli-
gent comparison makes sales
faster than the most skilful adj
vertising and craftsmanship.
Please compare.
The aisle that holds the
Novelty Dress Goods is a very
Mecca for taste and fashion.
The assembled newness con-
tains many styles of vcryrouqh
stufs. They are dominant
now. The tout of the we'll
dressed Englishman gives the
style-thought to Paris and
Roubaix.
How the French refine and
beautify everything they pro-
duce You almost justify the
fellow who must have his Shirts
Numbered in Paris. So these
rough English stylcs-the
weavers in Yorkshire, and by
the Tweed, never imagined
the beauty that the French
could add to such distinguished
patterns.
Here are few prices, just
for illustration:
4G III. Figured Cheviots at $l.25.
4G in. Tweed Mixture at $1.25.
As in. PLAID Cheviot@t $3.50.
4G in. Boucle at So
5S in. plain and plaid Zcbline at

4s in. French Homespuns at So.
But prices The story that
could be told about the wav
some mark them up! You
can excuse it perhaps, for there
are folks in trade who don't
know. A mile a minute is the
trade-world's pace-and many
fall behind.

What nonsense the Republicans are

try on November Sth, 1899. The panic
did not come until July, 1893. Does the
Senator think it took the people eight
months to become convinced that the
Democrats had won power? The whole
panic, forsooth, grew out of threats of
tariff reform! 1t does not require a
statesman to understand that threat Of
the new tariff could not have made the
