by the bench and bar of the state.
What business had the last legisla-
tive assembly to antagoniZc the de-
sircs Of such sponsors by defeating or
even dallying with the adoption Of
the Icodcs? The word was "pass
them and amend sthem afterwards, -
and that's what they did. It will be
admitted that much Of the confusion
that now prevails comes Of hasty
amendment Of the original Scodes: If
the legislature had passed the codes,
the appropriation bills and the other
necessary and usual measures and
then quit, it would have doubtless
have saved much of its reputation,
but, as in all Sncll bodies, there were
those who felt that they ''must in
troducc a bill" in order to convince
their constituents that they were on
duty. AS the codes were supposed
to cover everything, all bills must
perfOrcc be amendments to the codes,
and SO, Jealous legislators, with at
best only a haZY uOtiOn OF what the
codes contained, sought to amend
them with their little bills. Some.
times it wonld happen after a bill
was well on its way to become a law,
it would be discovered that the codes
contained the neutrality-suspicious. OF
the bill; but the merry work went on
and it is not strange that some
hodgc-podgc is the result. The last
legislative assembly worked moro
hours and did more actual work thar
any Of it's predecessors and il it made
mistakes, the unusual conditions at
tending it's work must be considered

Chang Carried Her.

Speaking OF the first meeting Of Ii
Hung Chang and John W. Foster. on
which occasion the Chinese yccroy
entertained a woman at dinner for
the first time in the person Of Mrs.
Foster, the Washington Capital
vonc|lcs for the following story which
is one Of the best illustrations Of true
oriental courtcscy, combined with the
peculiar seriousness and matter Of
lactncss Of the Chinese mind, ever re-
lated:
When She was introduced to the
viccroy, Mrs. Foster wondered how
she was to be taken into the banquet
room. Some time before, it seems,
Ii Hung Chang had been guest Of
honor at A dinner given by the Rus
Sian cmbassador, and being asked to
take the ambassadors wife to the
dining room, proceeded to comply
with a litcralncss which astonishcd
all the guests. The viccrov is a
giant in stature, and the cmbass;l-
doris wife being Il small woman, he
had no difficulty III picking her up
bodily and CARRYING her to the table
Mrs. Foster did not ycarn for such
honor and called upon her husband 3
diplomacy to arrange that She should
be escorted in less vigorous manner.
Mn. Fosters tact was equal to the
occasion and when the doors were
thrown open Ii Hung Chang led the
WaE, and Mrs. Foster followed him.

Balloons III Battle.

The use Of the balloon for dispatch
carrying and for military rcconnois-
sancc is likely to play a great part in
the next war. It's only drawback is
tic fact that its huge size makes it a
splendid target, andtIlc equally dam
aging fact that, beinglcllicny a COL
lapsiblc GAS bag, shot hole in any
part Of its bulk brings it down. For
this reason Il rood deal Of uncertainty
has existed in the minds Of military
men as to the usefulness Of the bal
loon in campaigning.
Recent experiments in Austria,
however, arc calculated to give COM
fort to the acronauts and to show
that the objection just mentioned is
not 50 great as might at first be sup
posed. These experiments had for
their object Of how easy it would be
to hit a balloon in the air. To make
the task Of the marlsnan as light as
possible, captive balloons were used
that is. the ballons were tethered to
the ground with ropes. In one case
such a balloon, at a. height of 1905
feet. was fired at from a distance Of
two and Il half miles and was struck
nine times Without being brought
down. Another time a captive bal
| loon 2,G2J feet was fired at from a
distance Of more than three miles,
and was not brought down until the
tifty-siXth round. In this case a

SO CALLED MOORS OF DELAWARE.
"A Curious People Who Live by Themselves
and Are sariously Accounted For.

81 CjALLEA' MOOtS vi UGLAWARE.
A Curious People Who Live by Themselves
and Are s:sriously Accounted For.
Thcro has been much speculation
about the SO called Moors living in
Kent and Sussex counties, Del.
These people are usually swarthy,
black haired and black eyed, though
sometimes of fair complexion. They
arc mostly farmers. They have their
own schools distinct from the genor-
al public school system, and they as
sociato neither with whites nor with
blacks.
Ono theory has bcon that they are
Of the Moorish race, and that thoir
ancestors wero Spanish NIoors
wrecked on tho coast moro than a
century ago. Another tradition 1cp-
resents them as descendants of the
Nanticoko I11vlians.
George ?. Fisher, q lawyer long
practicing in Delaware, writes to
tho I[iIlfo1l Herald to present what
no regards as satisfactory evidence
as to the origin of these people. He
has been acquainted with these poo-
pie all his life. Noke Norwood, a
giant; Of the tribe, erect and black
haired at rs, he knew from child
hood. When Mr. Fisher became at
torney general Of the state, he was
called upon to prosecute Levin Sock
un, one of tho race, for selling am
munition to Isaiah Harmon Of the
sn1no race, the Indictment having
boen found under q statute of Dola-
ware making it q nisdemeanor tC
sell arms or ammunition to any ne
gro OF mulatto.
Harmon was q man Of 20 years,
with excellent Caucasian features,
dark chestnut hair, rosy checks and
hazel eyes. Mr.. Fisher thought him
the handsonest man in the court
room. Nevertheless Lydia Clark, a
kinswoman of Harmon, testified fo1
the state that, according to family
tradition, so,no years before the
Revolutionary war broke out, vher
she was little girl, their ancestress,
a woman of Irish birth, owning and
cultivating q farm in the Indian riv.
er hundred, Sussex county, a few
miles from Lewos, bought of q slave1
that was driven into Leves creek {
negro slave who professed to be {
chief of ono of the Iongo tribes The
woman, whose name was Regua
shortly after married her slave, aiC
thoir children, not being allowed tc
associate with tho whites, intormar
ried with the remnant Of tho Nanti
coke Indians, then still living in Sus
sex county. The witness, IL very ole
woman, looked like an Indian O.

New York, Oct. 3.--In his rcccn t

and political representative, made
the statement that if Mr.. Harrison
were to give his support to any one
presidential candidate it would be
neither William Mckinley nor Thos.
b. Reed but some one else, whom,
Mr.. New did not say. The Herald
has it from undisputablc authority
that this some one else, is Mr.. Robt.
II. Lincoln, Of Chicago. Mr.. Ilar-
rison and the man whom he appoint
cd minister to England have long
been near friends, and John c. New
has also been a partner in this inti-

Harrison conceived a dislike for the
