HUMAN STORAGE BATTERY.
nsry Birchaii IL Credited with Marvellous
Electric Powers.

The latest wonder at Henderson, ". Y,
IN an electrical girl Mary Biichall, who
lives with her parents In IA dilapidatcd
frame house on tho lake shore One of hor
many alleged feats IN that Of transmitting
u current OF electricity TO sewing ma
chine and n grindstone, causing them To
run ut any desired rate Of speed All tho
family sewing IL performed on an old fash
ioned affair driven from AN electric current
from tho girls lngor tips, while the edged
tools OF the farm are sharpsned on grind
stone revolved by the Same force. She can
light up dark room st her will by her
presence.
The most marvellous thing, however,
about the feat is that human eyes have not
been able to sec where tho light comes
from. When producing tho phcno,ncna,
she seems to be charged with all tho electric
energy OF n live wire, and IL is extremely
dangerous for person to touch her. The
atmosphere that surrounds her at such
times rcpels, and thus has saved many from
injury.
A large shepherd dog owned by the fam
lily rubbed his nose against her when she
was transmitting force 10 the gyindstonc
and received shock that stretched him
lifeless. In Illuminating the cow stable
one night vicious hcifer kicked the girl
on the hand Instantly the animal cx-
perienced shock that paralyzcd n limb,
and, not recovering afterwari, 1t was kill
cd by Mr.. Birchall.
Zeko Harris, who lives over at Six Town
Point, went over to investigate the case
the other day. He asserted his Willingness
90 undergo the torinents Of the girls pow
er. He took hold of her and Mt once began
to experience shocks. He did not with
stand the ordeal long, and at the end Of a
few seconds nc was unconscious

Wait a Minute.

Under the above head the EUer,
EUening Wednesday used the following
pointed words:
Governor Watson is manifestiug q
nice appreciation of the delioacy of his
present situation. While the late Gov.
ernor's body awaits the last rites. his
successor will not take any steps to.
wards the active exercise of guberna-
torial power. He will not even an
point a Secretary of State until after
Governor Marvil's funeral.
The propriety of Governor Watson's
attitude is in sharp contrast with the
indecent haste with which some an.
plicants have announced their greed.
No Democrat had any excuse for Office
hunger during Governor Marvirs life.
but his death made great change in
their prospects.
The late Governors body was not
cold, before some fellows, with pachy.
dermous hides, were disgusting right
thinking men by asking support for
offices which will not be vacant for
weeks and months. The change of the
appointing power from one party to the
other seems to act like hot sun in
spring time, bringing snakes out OF their |
holes.

assessed and due. The ordinary rela-
tions between the tax authorities and
the taxpayer are turned topsy-turvv.
delaware is probably the only COM
munity in the world where the tax.
payer ever chases the assessor with a
shotgun to force him to assess. and
Where the collector lodges the taxpayer
and even fees to other States to escape
the duty of collecting. Between the
voter and the polls there are more oh.
stacles to surmount than anywhere else
on the face of the earth where there is
pretence Of government by ballot.
Apart from their humorous asnects,
the tax qualification laws of Delaware
are something to be ashamed Of Tho
system existing in that State is deplor.
able and un-American. The first Iutv
OF Delaware's self-respecting citizens
ought to be to move for the amendment
OF that section of the constitution which
permits such astounding abuses.

Taxes and Votes in Delaware.

The New York Sun, leading Dem.
ocratic paper of New York, and strong
supporter of David B. Hill, had the fol-
lowing in an editorial last week.
We print elsewhere plain descrip-
tion Of practical operation of the anom-
alous tax qualification law in Della
ware. 1t will interest everybody that
reads It, and it will both astonish and
amuse most people.
There is general understanding of
the fact that In Delaware the results Of
the elections are largely influenced by
the poll tax. Just how the tax works
to disfranchise citizens, to change ma
jorities into minorities. to corrupt the
politics of the State, and to promote
the personal ambition Of cheeky and
INSCRIPTIONS adventures with money
to spend, is profound mystery to
ninety-nine men In a hundred outside
Of the borders OF the little common
wealth.
Incidentally we get view of con-
ditIon Of affairs which belongs TO the
province of comic opera. The tax svs.
tenn In Delaware is as different from
that which obtains in other parts of the
republic as the game Of give-away is
from the game of checkers, In order
TO vote, the citizen must have paid his
poll tax and in order to pay his poll
tax, he must have been assessed for the
same. Consequently, when it is an
object on the part Of the party in power
70 elsfranchise large number of citi-
zenss the assessor often becomes blind
and sieaf, and the collector frequently
aosconds to avoid receiving the taxes

HAD PREPARED FOR DEATH.

Interment was made in the Metho.
oist Protestant Cemetery, with services
at the grave conducted by Rev. S. N.
Pllchard and the visiting clergy. The
great crowd in attendance swelled the
procession to the churchyard, and re.

Governor Marvil's will,it was stated. .

Is said that his two sons, ]. Dallas and
d. F. Marvil. with Henry w. Baker
OF Seaford, are named as executors and
that the estate is valued at from $780,
600 to S4OO, 900.
Just before Mr.. Marvil's nomination
for Governor he went to the Laurel
marble cutter and ordered a stone for
mis- grave. 1t was to comprise a l2-ineh
granite slab, to cover the top of the
grave, with his name and date of birth
and death carved upon the face. About
two months ago he sent his son. ]
Dallas Marvil, to countermand this or
der and leave directions for the CON
of marble tomb, similar to
the one over the grave of his wife.
which is beautiful piece of sculpture.
Work upon this tomb will soon be
begun.
