The Sussex Republican, which claims
to have carried Sussex county for the
Republicans at the last election, cuts
loose from Addicks, and repudiates him
in the following manner;
What hold Mr.. Addicks NAV have
upon the Republicans OF Sussex county
Is not because of any personal magnet
ism or of any acknowledged fitness for
the position no aspires to fill, but
merely because they believe that money
is necessary to buy votes to beat the
Democrats, and that Mr.. j. Edward
Addicks is the only man fool enough to
advance the amount requisite for the
purpose This is the whole matter in
u nutshell and it is the only argument
that any man can uso In support of the
candidacy of MIR. Addicks. It is the
only quality that he Processes 10 have.
Upon it he bases his claim to political
preferment. He believes in the power
of money, and it is powerful. He
wants to be a United States Senator
ana be lieves he can buy his way there
through little Delaware and is trying
to do so. Shall he succeed?
Last year the Sussex Republican was
willing that Addicks should succeed,
and by the very methods it condemns in
the above paragraph. Now, it claims to
have carried the county for the Repub-
licans, thus depriving Addicks of
credit for his debauchery of suffrage.
in addition to giving him parting
kick.
However, tho Sussex Republican, if
its repentance be sincere, is welcome
to join the ranks of the good citizens
of Delaware who are in earnest in
their purpose, to repudiate Addicks
methods" in this State. Tho way to
beat Addicks is to boat the Republican
party.

TOO LATE NOW.
Bloomers Will Always Be Bloomers and Not Smiths"

Not "Smiths."
 Do you wear "smiths?''
 If you are a woman and ride 2 wheel, the chances are you do, but don t know it, and call your smiths by the popular name of bloomers.
 The trousered costume which bears the name of the late Mrs. Amelia Bloomer was not invented or evoluted by Mrs. Boomer, and she herself has said so in 8 number of instances and has placed all the credit where she be- lieved it to be due, with her friend, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Miller, who when she was plan Miss Smith first brought out and wore in public the strange gar ments, which was the first attempt in America to make the trousers and short skirt popular.
 It may be too late now to change the name, but it will always be a matter of regret to the great and strong tribe of Smiths that the family was not perpet- uated in the costume that now runs riot over the country.
 Mrs. Bloomer, however, had very good idea of why the costume was called after her, and Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Miller was very willing that the credit should go to her. Mrs. Miller is still alive and lives with her daughter and family at Lochland, Geneva, N. Y, within stone's throw almost of the spot where so much of the bloomer his- tory was fashioned.

Opinion of an Expert.

Which will win?
 In sea and wind, Defender, sure.
 In light winds and roll of sea, De- fender
 In moderate breezes-V Valkyrie's best chance-toss up. Defender has none the worst of it.
 In light winds, smooth water, very close. Sizes and sizes. Can't call the turn.
 Will Defender win three straight heats?
 Yes. if she has wind and sea and ev- erything stands. There may be break ill light winds and smooth water
 In sea and light winds the Defender should win out thrice under these con diitons.
 The start will almost have as much to do with the result as the weather. If the Defender gets caught under the Valkyrie HIS lee-well, there will be some hair singeing to get out. Such are my opinions, given just like other people, and like all things that mortal man does, they may be wide of the mark A. G. McVey in New York Herald.

Next day he took several teams to draw the hay home, expecting to find it in an unfit condition for haul ing without throwing and drying, as heavy rain passed over the section the night before Mir Hedden was surprised to find that not drop of rain had fallen on his meadow, while to the west, south and east of his land the ground was sat urated. - Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette.

Beeeher as having conelud. ed a conversation on immor tality, in which Mark Twain has taken the az hostile side,e by asking him whether he would confess his error if he should meet her ill heaven a million years hence.

 If you prove right and prove wrong,

Enforcing the Blue Laws.

Pontiac, Mich, is going a little further in the enforcement of Sunday laws than any other place yet heard from. Restaurants, saloons, candy stores and tobacco stands are closed on Sun days, and ice cream dealers may not de- liver their goods to customers on that day. Now over hundred citizens have signed petition asking that the livery stables be closed, and yet another peti- tion has been circulated and extensively signed asking that milkmen and icemen be prohibited from plying their busi- ness on Sunday There is notion among the Sabbatarians that the latter petition is device of the enemy, but if so the enemy is working it very serious ly and energetically, and with good show of success. ss.-New York Sun.

They Like Being Tanned.

Most people who go to the country in the summer are not ayerse to getting 8 little tanned, and many youths sit out in the sun for the express purpose of ac- quiring good color. Few, however, would go to such an extreme as some college students who camped out on Shelter island. Persons passing in boats could see them on the beach stripped to the waist, so that not only their faces, necks and arms should be sunburned, but their entire backs as we'll. The young men wanted to show in the gym nasium this winter what thoroughly outdoor life they had been leading. = New York Tribune.

CLEVELAND SILVER SPOONS.
The Presidents Grandfather Made Them
 In Connecticut Village.


 William Cleveland. grandfather of President Grover Cleveland, was silver smith ill drowsy Norwich town among the hills of eastern Connecticut and deacon for more thsn quarter of cen tury ln the village Congregational church. The hogse in which he spent his long life is still standing. His shop, a weather beaten rookery, was torn down several years ago.
 The Deacon, '' as he was always ad- dressed, was an expert workman, and his goods were always in demand. As 8 consequence the country families about Norwich town have Cleveland silver spoons in attendance, coming down by inheritance from old time ancestors.
 A Norwich town woman's legacy of two of the spoons-exquisitely wrought specimens of painstaking work-was re- gently transmitted to Ruth Cleveland, and Ill return a personal letter of thanks was received from her distinguished fa- ther
 President GleVelands great grandfa- ther, Aaron Cleveland, was a business man and politician in Norwich town in post Revolutionary days. He was active in speaking and writing and took the lead in opposing slavery in Connecticut, introducing the. first bill for its aboli- tion. and being dissatisfied with the gradual emancipation measure adopted in 1790. Later he became Congrega- tional minister.
 The old village records of Lebanon, 12 miles north of Norwich town, declare that Mrs. Cleveland is great grand daughter of Mrs. Mary Rogers, a Leb- anon woman. New York Herald.

Gave Her In Exchange For Farmer Thomp-
 sons Daughter.
 The very unusual story of swapping daughter for wife is reported from Toledo, Wash. A farmer named Thomp- son lost his wife short time ago She left him little baby girl. The child he took to a neighbor of tue name of Put nam to be cared for. Of course frequent visits were made to see how the baby was getting along.
 Mrs. Putnam was quite comedy per son and very soon attracted tho atten- tion of the widowed farmer. Then he soon learned to love her. but, worst of all, his love was reciproeated The hus- band discovered the situation The lov- CTS naturally expected scene, but there was none.
 Instead of making the neighboring hills resound with jealous rage Putnam called upon Thompson. and they dis cussed the matter in businesslike manner. Putnam professed to be tired of his wife and said he would as lief that some other fellow would take her away as not, but he wanted something in return. He wanted some one around the house to minister to his wants, some one he could learn to love. Thompson had daughter who suited him very we'll, and if it was just the same he was willing to trade his wife for her. That suited Thompson, and the girl too So bargain was struck and the ex- change made. Thompson and Mrs Put nam went to Aberdeen and the girl to Castle Rock New York World

The South Right In It.

The south, equally with the west, will have really enormous corn crop this year, far i'll excess of any in it's history. According to present prospects, it will be from 600.

PARIS CARTER SHOW

 GREAT ATTENTION.
Garters Said to Have Been Worn by Nell Gwynne, Sarah Rernhardt, Mary Stuart. the Princess of Wales and Other Cele- brated Women on Exhibition.
A private letter from Paris says:

A private letter from Paris says:
 4 somewhat unique exhibition ap- pears in shop in the Boulevard Made leine. It is garter show and attracts big crowds. Garters that are alleged to have been the property of celebrated women are exhibited, and these bejew- eled articles of dress afford ample evil dence that ornate garters are not mod ern fancy only. Some of them furnish interesting information regarding the women whose beauty of face and figure has been celebrated.
 Nell Gwynne's garters are quite elaborate and noticeable for their very ample proportions. They are of white sheepskin and ornamented with red gold roses and have golden clasps Sarah Bernhardt is commonly supposed to be 8 woman of rather slender pro- portions, but the satin elastics bedecked with pearls which are said to have been once her property show that at least her neither limbs are of goodly proportions. "The pair that attracts the most att tention are vouched for as having been worn by Mary Stuart They are pale red, somewhat faded, and have silver buckles They are much worn. The shopkeeper has had constructed pair of wax limbs calculated from the size of garters to be an accurate counterfeit of those for which the garters once did service. If that be the case, the orig inals were indeed of creditable size.
 Just opposite, in respect to this latter feature, are the pair that were once worn by the Princess of Wales. They are plain and have very slight ornamentation.
 "There is in the collection life size wax figure representing the French Marveilleuse, the ultra Parisians, who attired themselves in robes of transpar- ent gauge opened down the side so as to display legs incased in long, gaudy stock ings. The shapely legs of these figures are adorned with garters of rose colored satin having diamond clasps. There are long ribbon streamers attached. Here is an inscription embroidered on the gar ters:
 aMake your petticoats short,
 That hoop eight yards wide
 May decently show
 How your garters are tied.
 ''There is a single black silk garter. once the property of Taglioni. A card attached says an Italian nobleman fell in love with her and sent her note, which, after making proposal, said, If you accept, give the bearer one of your garters. The proposal was accepted. The dashing nebleman received the sim gle garter now on exhibition.
 "A pair of garters of light blue silk, with no clasps, once the property of La Goulne, the dancer, has this inscription ::
