Nine. M. Yale was recently
asked the question (which of
her discoveries she considered
the most wonderful" Her re-
ply was as follows: La Freckla,
because It unmasked my own
face from a filthy mass of
freckles and gave me the beau
tiful rose leaf complexion which
you see and which has been
admired by the people of every
nation. Before | discovered
La Freckla | was a freckIed
face individual disguised with
my own appearance. Today |
am the envy of every woman
who looks at my skin.
La Freckla will remove any
case of freckleS in existence and
leave the skin as transparent as
crystal. One or two applica-
tlonS removes tan and SUM-
burn. 1t takes from three to
nine days to destroy every
trace of freckles. II is the only
remedy known to the world
that does this. Nowis the time
to use La Freckla, as it strength
ems the skin, removes and pre-
vents freckles and sunburn.

publican friends have the courage to
do itT' In other words, the hope of
the Democratic party is to assist in
promoting Mr.. Addicks to some kind
Of leadership in the Republican party
and then to call upon Republicans to
defeat him. If Mr.. Addicks is the
man portrayed by the Seaford ''News''
the people of the State would be rum
ming terrible risk and Democratic
editors should be ashamed to lend
themselves to such an experiment.
But the real question now is the
seating of Col. DUPONT. That is a
matter for the U. S. Senate to decide.
We hope it may be decidad on its
merits, and it goes without the saying
that we hope the merits will be in
favor of his taking his seat. But
this sentiment is not unanimous among
those who stood together last fall for
the election Of Joshua II. Marvil,
Jonathan S. Willis and the rest of the
ticket. The estate Sentinel" last
week said: SIN saying this we do not
for one moment admit that Colonel
DUPONT is Senator-eIect. He is not
Senator elect" And the paper then
quotes Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Gray to
sustain that view. Since just as able
lawyers hold the opposite opinion it is
presumed that the sentinel" has not
found Republican attorney to sup
port is position.

that county alone will be one of the best

also had good wheat crops and will receive

The Boat Race7

All America has been interested in the
yachting races which began last Saturday
in New York harbor for the cup which has
/ been held III his country since 1851. 1851 4
very full and accurate account of all the
races sailed for the championship since
that year. will be found on our first page
1t is estimated that the cost in the prepara-
ton for this years race has been at least
100000, and New York city is full of Wis
itors from all parts of the world to witness
the contest. The race ON Saturday was
very exciting though the American yacht,
Defender. was an easy winner over the
English yacht, Valkyrie. The Defender in
five hours race led by 8 minutes and 16
seconds at the finish.
The second race in the three out of five
contest was sailed on Tuusday. Unfortu
nately just at the start there was a collis-
ion between the two yachts, the Valkyrie
fouling the Defender whose spreader was
torn and her topmast badly weakened. The
Defender got off across the line, however
and closely pushed her English rival

tered protest because of the foul and on
Wednesday the committee awarded the
race to the American yacht. The regret is
general that there was any cause for pro-
test; the public had hoped for fair and
out and out victory.
The third race of the series was to have
been sailed on Thursday, but the Defender
went over the Is mile course alone, in Abr.
"A min. and IL sec. Lord DunraYen en-
tered protest against the interference in
the race because of so many excursion
boats and the fleet of sight seers, and re-
fused to sail. The cup has been awarded
by the committee to the Defender. 1t is
very unfortunate that the race should ter
inmate as it has. Every American hoped
to see the cup remain in this country but
the desire was for fair contest. There is
proposition to sail over the Marblehead
course for cup valued at $4,000.

church on the manor, and Sunday last be-
ing the last day, the people came from far
and near Ia the afternoon, these two
men wandered into a corn field, near the

THE SAME ELSEWHERE,

The TRANSCRIPT did not expect the
least acknowledgment of an error OF
the smallest proof on the part of the
every Evening" for it's unfounded
attack upon its fellow editors of the
Republican faith on their attitude
towards the improvements in trade and
the receipts to the farmers from the
peach crop. No one expects fairness
from the Every Evenings" editorial
columns. The Index" this week in
calling attention to the attitude of
"Every Evening" towards Senator
Gorman's fight in Maryland, very
pointedly reminds that paper of its
pitiful plea for support of the regular
nominee last fall when its owner was
the Congressional standard bearer. No
one believes that EVERY Evening" is
sincere in its opposition to ring rule or
bribery or the worst element in poll
tics if it is any profit to it to favor
them. 1t assumes to be virtuous, and
believing that German is on the losing
side it is against him, in its half
hearted way.
1t uses the same dishonest methods
in boosting the increase of trade.

But the increase was not granted, and
we regret it for the women concerned
as they were making but about $3.50 a
week. The truth is there have been
two cuts in that factory since Cleve-
lands election. the first from IL to IA
and then from IA to II. the present
price being bit 70 per cent. of the
Harrison Mckinley price, and to have
given the operatives the increase for
which they asked would have been
only partial restoration of their
Republican wages, an increase it is
true of 16s per cent. over Cleveland
wages, but still decrease of 16s per
cent. over Harrison wages. This
is the kind of increase that is rejoicing
the Democratic heart, and it rejoices
Republicans as well, for half loaf is
better than no bread, but it is not
necessary to malign Republican edi-
tors as the "Every Evening" has done
because they do not hurrah and give
the Cleveland Administration credit
for the restoration of confidence in
trade and the consequent improve
ments in business since the overwhel-
ming defeat of tho Democrats last
November.

TESTIMONIALS THAT COUNT.
Home Comfort Ranges have been in use in
this section of the State for nearly fifteen
years. and, as will be seen from testimonials
below of some of our best citizens, they are
justly very popular. This makes the third
time this company has canvassed this coun-
ty, ana the very fact that they are meeting
with bigger sales now than at any previous
canvass, IS conclus1ve evidence that the Home
Comfort has and will stand the test of time.
Note what the people say of them.

Range for about fourteen years, and are so
