The DELAWARE CONSTADULARY.

1t is Understood That Ex-ohief Dennis S.
Shields WIN Command the Special Con-
stables on Election Day.
The list of the special state constables
for service in this city on election day is
now being made up. Unusual care is
being exercised in the selection
of the men. The appointments were
made necessary by reason of the refusal
Of Republicans to appoint non-partisan
deputy sheriffs
The exact number of specials has not
been definitely determined. but it will be
sufficient to hold Sheriff Gould's Repub-
l.can deputies and all riotous men in
check. In day or two Secretary OF
State John D. Hawkins will fill in the
commissions for the signature of Gov
ernor Reynolds.
Two years ago the constabulary was
under command of John F. Dolan, now
chief of police. His office will prevent him
from acting in like capacity this year Il
is understood that OK Chief OF the Fire
Department Dennis Shields will be in
command this time His marked executive
ability as q volunteer fireman, and
thorough knowledge of Wilmington snd
its voters led to his selection.

Electric Battery In His Mouth.

Not long ago n Pittsburger had one OF
his back teeth filled with amalgam--that
composition filling that is 50 largely en-
ployed on account of the facility with
which it can be used. While in New York
the other day the tooth above the one that
had been repaired began to ache terribly,
SO that the gentleman was forced to 60 to
a dentist in that city. TO economize time
the dentist filled this with amalgam also
and the Pittsburger started for his hotel.
On his way he noticed that every time his
teeth closed he received sort of an ele9-
trio shock. This increased in intensity
until, when he arrived at the hotel, the
sensation became absolutely Painful. He
hurried back to the office of the dentist
The doctor had good laugh when ht
TO nd that when the metal used in his
amalgam and that used by the Pittsburl
dentist came together they formed mag
netic current. The patient objected tC
having a battery in his head, SO another
kind of filing was substituted. Pitts

SOUTH SEA TRADERS.
The Genuine Article Versus the Romantic
Creation of the Novelist.


We should expect the South seas to ex-
ercise SOLDERING and subtly refining in
fluence on the men--seldom very gentle
who find their way tbither. The region
exercises charm, insomuch that Euro
penas who settle there seldom leave it, but
rs for the refining influence-pray excuse
MS. Most white men become degenerate. 1t
Is so much more easy to sin, to get drunk,
and to Toll round, with native woman to
do the little work needftIl, and with an at
mosphere that kills all energy. The author
of " Kidnapped" is an exception, and the
globe trotter only touches at few of the
principal points and does not stay long
enough to succumb TO the insidious and
enervating influence of the climate.
It is n most melancholy fact that the
Islands attract in an overwhelming pro
portion some of the most desperate ruffians
that ever trod timber. Mr.. Stevenson has
gloriflcd tho trader Take that individual
apart from the glamour cast over him by
a great noveiSts art and you will find
him an exceedingly unlovely creature,
though not always unlovable perhaps,
when in contact with men of his own
color. We exclude the man who repre-.
sents II reputable European house, because,
as n rule, he is fixed, and it is his policy to
keep on friendly terms with the natives.
The ordinary beachcsmbcr may also be set
apart. lie is too lazy, as a rule, to be very
bad, and his only self imposed task is gen
orally to advise the chiefs, for which serv.
ices, and for acting as interpreter between
them and the natives, his usual rcmuncr
alton takes the form Of "chain lightning.
Tho man we have more particularly in
mind is the individual who, in his own OF
somebody elses schooner, carries ono
tons up and down among the islands, tC
be bartered for copra, or anything else that
is marketable and that will fetch in sgd
ncy 20 times as much as was originally
given for it. The average trader is a man
of absolutely no bowels. He has no eye
for natures marvels. The poetry of the
southern cline never vet slid into his soul
His class is made up largely of the rffrafl
of all Australia, and of some honest mer
whom the itch for wandering has carried
on board a trader or who have drifteC
thithcr from sydney after experiencing
that sickness of heart that comes from
hope deferred and from the final stoppag,
of the parental supplies. His horizon i
limited to "bilking' the savage. and h,
makes enough in a few years to retire TO
handsome villa in the suburbs of Sydney
