A HIGH ROLLER.
Louie j. Friedman of ST. Louis in
fhe Civ Prison

Louie j. Friedman is 81 years of age and the
son of a wealthy merchant in ST. Louis, NJ o.
He is essentially high roller, and as lie was
going tue pace too fast 10 suit bis father he
was sent to THIS city about two months ago I'm.
der the impression that change of climate
and surroundings might wean him from his
fast life. He was consigned 10 the care OF j.
Meyerneld, wholesale liquor merchant, Front
street, and weekly remittance came from st.
Louis for his support.
Like many other young blOods be began TO
play the races, and his weekly allowance was
not sufficient 10 meet his losses and other Incl
denLalS, so he began by giving spurious checks,
and Mr.. Meyerfeld, rather than see him in
trouble, met them. Last Wednesday Friedman
got So from NJ. Johnson. proprietor Of the res
Jaurant al % Montgomery street, and gave him
a check on the First National Bank. On Thurs
day he called again and got another So, giving
another check. This afternoon the hTst check
was returned and marked "no account
On Friday he made another call and when
confronted with the diSbonOred check he re-
ierIed johnson TO his friend MIR. Meyerted.
The conference with Mr.. Meyerfeld WIS uu-
satisfactory and Johnson decided 10 put an end
10 the Young mans Swlndling operations by
having him arresred.
Friedman kept out of the way, but last night
johnson saw him at The Peoples Palace and
procuring tile assistance of policeman Cayan-
agh he had him arrested and taken TO the City
Prison. where he was booked on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.

Men uIty's sentence will be committed to life
Imprisonment. Superior Judge Murphy, who
came I'D from San Francisco tonight, has been
long in consultation with Governor Markham
since his arrival. When seen late tonight the
Judge declined to Talk on the subject. The
Governor was more communicative, however.
He said Judge Murphy admitted that under the
circumstances perhaps the ends OF JUST ce
would be subserved by committing the sc n
tence to life imprisonment.
The Governor added that while his own con-
victions had not changed, it appeared that the
sentiment of the public favored comInuta-
lion.
The Supreme Justices. many Superior Judges
the Sheriff, District Attorney and other high
officials had petitiOned for leniency, while no
formal protest against Communication OF sem

he would some time tomorrow announce bis

will be he leaves the public TO guess, but II

Death of our Oldest Citizen.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dady, widow of
Adam Dady, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Geo. w. Taylor, on
Saturday aged 81 years, IA days. Her
maiden name was Zebley, coming with
her husband to Smyrna, from Brady
wine, fifty or sixty years ago. Though
at the time of her death the oldest per-
son in the town, the unusual longevity
was in no sense a result of exemption
from the Affections incident to life.
though it might be said to be from its
care and worries, for she was possessed
of an unusually even, cheerful tempera.
ment.
She grew up in the old school Bap-
tist faith, and was an examplar of its
simplicity and sincerity of life and habit,
one of the cardinal virtues being to do
for others as well as herself Thus was
she living, filling up the hours in the
daily routine of life when she lost her
husband-sOme twenty-five years ago
Her daughters being grown up and
married she went to live with one OF
them, Mrs. Taylor, which continued
resided in Philadelphia, when she
lived with her daughter, Mrs. Eber
Wright, iu Kenton.
Twenty years ago or more she los
her sight, becoming totally blind. Short
ly after going to Mrs. Wright's. five OF
six years ago, she missed her step anC
fell from the door, dislocating her hip
rendering her unable to walk from
that time on. Her final illness, whicl
commenced about three weeks agr
was accompanied will considerabl
pain; she bore it with the same uncOm
planning fortitude, and rounded out
long full life of appropriating faith
The remains were inferred at BrynziO
Baptist church Monday afternoon

party last Thursday night. A better

thing he said was to advise every man
to vote according to the dictates of his
own conscience. Voting this election
was a matter of deep concern and
should be studied seriously. He didn't
blame the Democrats for everything.
The panic was on us, but he did blame
the Democratic party for shutting down
our mills and closing our factories and
causing universal uncertainty. His
theme struck out from here on Free
Trade Uersus Protection in which he
produced some interesting arguments.
The latter part of his address was
| devoted to the relation of the tariff to
the farmers There is close alliance
| between the manufacturers and the
| farmers. Shut up the factories he said
and the farmers will go begging. This
is what regulates the law of supply and
demand. The working man can not
buy farm produce if he can't get work
and hence the demand will be lessened
If this be the case then the price OF
farm produce must 90 down. Tariff
Legislation will not make the price OF
wheat, but it will make a market for
this wheat. What is good for one sec
tiOn is good for all What is good for
the manufacturer is good for the
farmer.
In closing, he said that this was a
campaign of education and our people
have had time to get educated. The
Democrats talk of opening our mark cts
to the world but the only true policy
and that is best for every liberty
loving and patriotic American is
America first and then the World"

historic town, to the hosts palatial

Annual Meeting of the W. CT. U.

The annual convention of the w. G.

jOurning on Friday to meet next year
at Milford.
The following officers were elected :
President, Miss Margaret S. Hilles;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. +. Elma
Pyle; recording secretary, Mrs. Mar
guerte II. Green; treasurer, Miss Sallie
Rawlins.
When the convention convened the
large Auditorium was crowded. Miss
Annie Sutton made report on press
work. She said that the press was an
acknowledged force for education
work. The press had been very gener-
Gus and she felt very thankful to them.
1t was important to secure the CO.
operation of the press. Miss Hilles
also spoke of the good work that the
local papers are doing for the w. G. T.
.. Mrs. Donald, of Newark, made an
address on Sabbath observance. She
favored the w. c. U. U. appointing a
superintendent Of Sabbath observance.
Mrs. Josephine Painter, of Nassau,
representing Sussex county, Miss Annie
Alloway, of Dover, representing Kent
county, and Mrs. Milligan for New
Castle county, spoke on the subject OF
Sabbath breaking Mrs. N. B. Smithers
OF Dover, made report on prisons and
the work of the flower mission. What
we need is action. The present prison
system is wrong. A great reformation
is needed. 1t hurls prisoners into
greater crimes. We see improvements
made in other States, but none made
here. For the first Ohense they are
crowded into den of vice. A boy OF
girl under fourteen years of age should
never be sent to Jail. There should be
law in our statue books to this effect.
When will men who are in authority
awake? Persons should not be sent tC
Jail and kept in idleness. The nexI
General Assembly could not take q
better step than to give the prisoners
who have not served less than three
years a suit of clothes.
The State needs a penitentiary, and
the county jails should be used in
which to confine life prisoners. Let
this reform be agitated and the day il
not far distant when Delaware will
have prison reform.
Let us turn to the almshouses. They
are neat and clean, but so-dcvoid O.
comforts. The flower mission is an
important one. Mrs. A. e. Davidson
made a protest in the way in which
prisoners are removed from the trains

WE had done with, and dismissed
editor Handy of the EUery EUening, as
he had come down the tree" both in
reference to his insinuatiOn against us,
for publishing a certain article as a
matter of information, and his 'show-
ing the white feather" in attacking
the editor of the Star who wrote it. but
his blunt, bad manners in going clear
outside of the subject and violating the
rules of journalism. brought it back
again. We could, if adopting the same
course and taking up matters not in
any way germane to it, make him wish
that he had kept away from Kent
County. When here week ago, he
was twitted with commencing a contro-
versy in which he had got the worst of
it, and this no doubt caused him to
violate the amenities that belong to
guild of journalism. We had prepared
a longer and more caustic article, but
withhold it on finding that Mr.. Handy
is condemned by his best friends.

IT is reported that the japanese Diet
is enthusiastic over the present situa-
ton in the war with China, and
unanimously in favor of voting all the
funds asked by the Government. The
news from China is conflicting with re-
spect to the attitude of the authorities
and there is reason to believe that di-
verse policies are being advocated by
members of the Ministry. Japan evil
IDENTIFY will not back down, while China
is reluctant to admit defeat so long as
thousands of troops may be levied to
assist in the campaign. The impress
sion generally entertained by the out
side world is that China must eventu-
ally yield to the demands of her plucky
and intelligent, though comparatively
less populOus rival.

THE riots in the summer in the
Western cities impressed military men
especially with the necessity for an in
crease in the United States Army, and
both Gen. Schofeld and Ruggles en-
phasize the value of the militia of the
Union. The latter appeals for larger
appropriations from Congress for the
State troops. While Uncle Sam has
only $4,000 enlisted regulars, the Gov.
ernors can call into the field 11O,796
uniformed militia, and at the summons
of liberty and law fully 9,144, $50 Amer
leans could take up arms. The militia
men of one State can be ordered by the
Federal authorities to do duty in an.
other Commonwealth; and Congress;
owes, therefore, an important duty tC
her National Guardsmen.
