As the evening progressed the heat be-
came less oppressive, and after tho in
Permission the cool breezes which waited
through the room from the river short

enjoyable.
Prof. Albert's orchestra of Whining
ton furnished music, the excellent quail

rive Prisoners Punished at New Castle
Jail on saturday--Two Stand In the
Pillory.
Five convicts were dashed by Sheriff
Gillis at New Castle on Saturday and
two stood in the pillory for an hour.
The lashes were laid on fairly hard, and
in every case the back Of the victim was
marked except bob" Allen, who has
genuine cow hide on his back, and in
Bowery language the lash never
touched him" He chewed tobacco
throughout the time he was being pun
ished and did not seem to mind II at all.
At precisely II o'clock William S.
Harris and William Button, the VIII.
mingtonians who were sentenced for
breaking into the house of George Hills
ley, were taken from their cells and put
in the pillory. AS the clocks in the
town struck l2 they were taken out by
the sheriff, each having remained there
for IN hour. The heat made this portion
of their punishment q little more I'M
comfortable than it would otherwise
been, but they did not complain.
Shortly after the prisoners were re-
moved from the pillory the whippings
bCEhhs uC usual SlONN VI
spectators had congregated about the
jail, but the whippings were without
incident of any SORT In the way OF de-
Waiting from the ordinary lashings.
Harris and Button each received %
lashes in addition to the pillory punish
ment; Frank Croft received 10 lashes
for larceny; John Evans, colorcd, was
given 20 lashes for the same offence
and in addition Harris and Dutton will
have to serve three years each, Croft
three months and Evans two years.
The only real interesting" whipping
was Aliens. He laughed when hi
was brought out, laughed while thu
"cat" was being laid on, and laughed
when the sentence was over.
None OF tho prisoners made any re
marks whatever, and the whole ordea
was devoid of sensation.

Manager Brady Talks About the Fighters
and Other Matters.

NEW York, May 11.-Concerning the
report that William A. Brady, the
manager of James j. Corbett, is to be-
come the head centre of the Sea Beach
Athletic Club, an organization designed
10 occupy the Sea Beach Palace Depot,
at West Brighton, Coney Island, re-
Gently occupied by the Atlantic Athletic
Club, Mr.. Brady last night said:
"You can say that have secured the
refusal of lease of the Sea Beach Palace
aud tue final arrangement will be com
pleted at once. You can also say that
Mr.. Richard Newton and the other
gentlemen connected with the Atlantic
Athletic Club will have nothing to do
with tho new organization. Also, l
will not attempt to bring off a fight
between Corhett and Fltzsimmons or
heavy weights of the first rank"
When Brady was asked if he had
anything to say regarding the proposed
Jackson match, he remarked:
"There is a misrepresentation regard.
ing my action, which was taken without
Corbett's knowledge. have no desire
to avoid match with Fitzsimmons.
In fact | thought be would be
easier than Jackson. If the Ma
tional Sporting Club will offer
as much money for "Fitz' as for
jackson, Corbett will fight the middle
weight. AS for fighting In America,
that is out of the question and we don
propose to lose good purse ON Fits
account. As for getting out of tho
match, we can't do it for the reason that
we have $4,000 up and don't propose
to forfeit it.
"[f Corbett fights in London, it will
be but % rounds, not for the champion
ship, and. the champion has as much
right to do this as Fitz has to meet
people in limited bouts, as he is doing
every night. Besides it does not follow
that purse will be offered for Jackson
l simply sent the cablegram as 'feelcr,
and Fitz need not worry"

The temptation TO correct the man
ners of children who are not taught by
their parents to conduct themselves
properly in public places is very strong.
A gentleman yielded to this temptation
on New York elevated car recently
under circumstances which may be par
doned to him, though undoubtedly he
exceeded his right.
lie was sitting, as he relates in the
New York Press, in car in which all.
the seats were taken. A stout woman,
tlashily dressed, sat opposite him, hold
ing small boy between her knees.
AS the car stopped, u person who sat
next the gentleman got out, and a work
ing-girl, carrying big bundle, came in,
and started to take the vacant seat.
But the woman with the boy was too
quick for her. She pushed the boy
quickly into the seat, just before the
girl could take it, and looked compla-
Gently about her, as if she could not see
the girl at all.
The gentleman might then have risen
and given the girl his own seat, but he
did not. He put his arm around the
boys waist, lifted him to the floor, and
said:
"Now take off your hat, and offer
your seat to that young lady" .
The boy ran to his mothers knees.
The girl hesitated, but took the seat as
the gentleman beckoned her to it. And
then the mother of the child burst into
violent denunciation of the mans
"uugentlemanly" conduct.
"And let me tell you sir" she said,
finally, don't you ever NEEDLE with
other peoples children again"
MADAM ~ responded the gentleman,
"if mothers do not train their sons to
grow up as gentlemen, some one else
should. How do you expect that boy
to respect his mothers sex, when his
mother sets him the example of despis-
ing other women's claims to courtesys"

The author of "The Gypsy Road"
says that one who goes sufficiently far
East will find an extraordinarily hazy
idea of English manners and customs,
and more than that of the English lam
guage. "Yet how could one expect
otherwise 2" he asks. 1--WE should find
it difficult to tell what ordinary men
speak in a land as near England as
Moravia; why should the Moravian be
any wiser as regards the Englishman? ?"
One evening, when we were staying
at village inn, writes this traveller, we
got somewhat acquainted with an Off
Ger of the mines, He was very anxious,
though it was 10 o'clock of a wet night,
that we should go out and call on his
wife.
"She will be delighted" said he. "She
speaks English, for she is French
woman"
"But why should she speak English ?"
"Ah," said he "of course she does
French and English, it is all the same.
OF course it isw ..-..
One conversational miner raised
another question of interest.
English may be spoken in England"
he admitted, "but in London or Paris
you would naturally speak German.
How would you understand one another

Relics of the Past still to be Seen in
France.
Cassier's Magazine.
The old telegraph stations of France
are interesting relics of the past, and,
where they have been allowed to remain
form feature of the landscape. They
were of two kinds, the square towers and
the round towers. They consisted of
two stories, and the index signals, of
wood or light iron, were mounted on
the top of pole on roof. A ladder ran
up this pole, so that the signals might
be reached and moved by hand. The
telegraphers were provided with tele-
scopes, and there was always some
body on watch ON tho roof TO note
signals made atthe neiyhboung stations.
The progress of message at night was
naturally slower than the day trans
mission. The words wero fewer at
night also, because the small lanterns
affixed to the indexes could occupy only
a certain number of positions without
being extinguished.
The first Bonaparte extended the line
of these stations to Milan, then to May
ence, in Germany. They went no fur
Their. Soon the French armies began to
retreat to the land from which they
came, and as they retired they. fired their
telegraph posts to prevent the enemy
from using them.
One writer has stated that Alexan-
der's quickest means of sending mes
sages was by fast horses, and that Ma
poleon, two millenniums later, was no
better off. This informant, like millions
to-day, was ignorant of aerial telegra-
phys half century of existence.

floral concert in the Grand Opera Rouse
on Monday evening, June Sd, assisted
by Arthur NJ. Hartmann, the world
renowned 12-years-old American vio-
linist. Master Hartmann has been en-
gagged at great expense. He is not
simply n musical prodigy, but an artist
of rare ability, possessing not only per-
feet execution, but the soul Of genius.
lie has played before vast audiences in
this country and in Europe, and has
never failed 10 hold his auditors spell
bound and cause them to forget that
they were listening to mere boy. He
has innumerable testimonials from such
musicians and critics as Saiut,Saens,
Richter, Guilmant, Halle and Paderew-
ski, who already give him place above
any other violinist Of the age, and pre-
dict future for him equal to Paganini.
Master Hartmann will, no doubt, be a
great attraction to lovers of music in
this city, and with him the Wilmington
Chorus, whose previous concert put
them in tho very front rank as sing
ing society, should be able 10 pack tn,
