Single Taxer TuttIe Arrested

The morning NelOs of Monday says:
Leonard E. Tuttle, single Tax cam
paigner, who has for several months
been living in Smyrna, was arrested at
MiddletOwn ON Saturday night, but
was released after being in the lock k-up
q few minutes. 1t was the first open
air meeting the Single Takers have at
tempted to hold since last summer,
when they met with violent opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Tuttle prepared to hold a meet
ing in the open square and had scarcely
up and ordered him to stop.
When Mr.. Tuttle asked why he
should stop, the bailiff said no one was
allowed to ''speak on the street." Mr..
Tuttle informed the officer that he in
tended to make speech, and suiting
the action to the word, resumed his
address. The bailiff then pulled the
Single Taxer off the box and took him
to the lookup, a crowd following and
jeering the officer. Mr.. Tuttle was put
in the building, but in a few minutes
three of the town commissioners ap
peared and ordered his release, after
which the campaigner resumed his
| speech.
In discussing the question of voting
a writer in Wilmington paper says
In Delaware no man can get vote un

Miss Burnett's Lecture.

The lecture of Miss G. s.. Burnett at
the NJ. E. Church last Thursday even
ing under the auspices of the w. G. T.
U. was enjoyed by good sized audi
ence. Miss Burnett proved an unus-
ally good talker: she proceeds direct
to her subject from the material rather
than the sympathetic stand point, and
seemed not to near have exhausted her
subject though she talked for over an
hour. A good part of the lecture was
given to the developments of human
progress especially as opening new
avenues for women. This great
change has come mostly in the last de-
cade or two-greater than in all the
previous history of the race. Woman
was coordinate with man in Gods
creation, and when this is recognized
the development and advancement of
the race on all moral and material lines
will be more manifest. The liquor
and other baneful influences will natur-
ally disappear before the high moral
and hygienic sense that is sure to be
developed by the coordinate work Of
the sexes for an uplift of our common
humanity.

AMBASSADOR Bayard is hailed where
ever he goes in England as the most
popular man in the country. Thurs
day he was in Birmingham, receiving
a popular ovation, and at Stratford-on-
Avon where the inhabitants had turned
out in holiday attire to celebrate
Shakespeare's birthday. Many Of the
leading men of the island were there
in their decorated robes and though
Mr. Bayard was in his simple black
republican dress, with no adOrment
but flower in the lapel of his coat,
yet he attracted more attention than
all the Observation-Disclosures.
The principal event was the unveil-
ing of the window in the Shakespeare
church, the money for which was con-
tributed by the American visitors.
When United States Ambassador
Bayard entered the edifce Hail
Columbia was played upon the organ.
The church was densely crowded and
the ceremony was most impressive.
Mr.. Bayard made a few remarks,
which were we'll received by the audi
ence. In the course of his speach he
said: eve have met at Shakespeare s
home without a shadow of difference.
There is no boundary line in it. 1 am
citizen of a republic, but I aclInOw-
ledge the sovereignty of King Shake
speare.

HON. John w. Houston, who has
been almost forgotten since he was re-
tired from the bench in 1898 from old
age, died at the residence of his
nephew in Georgetown Sunday of gen
eral debility, aged SO years. 1t has
been 50 years since he entered political
life, having first read law with Della
wares great statesman, John NJ. Clay
ton, being elected to Congress in 1874,
the year of the memorable Clay and
Polk campaign. He was rejected to
the two following sessions, having
thus filed three terms before he had
completed this 36th year. He was an
ardent Wing and one of the most
fluent speakers in the state, and might,
if he had cultivated oratOry and mar
ried and surrcuu1e1 himself with a
family arisen tu -..u Prominence.
He had address, clearness Of judgment,
individuality, force and even yehem-
ance when severely crossed or antag-
onized. His general bearing was that
of courtliness of the old school, soci-
able and winning in congenial COM
pany and a dignity that won respect
from all sides. In 1855, the day he
was Al years old, he was appointed
Associate Justice and served until
disabled in 1898, a period of 3S years
While upon the bench he was the Off
cial reporter of the law, and Holston'i

New YORK city and New York State
holds an import position as to their re-
lation to public affairs, and thus COM
mand attention. The correspondent
from that city to the Philadelphia Led
ger thus notes important changes that
have taken place since the State passed
from under the control of d. B. Hill:
History has been made very fast in
New York during the past three years.
No other equal period in its annals has
been so prolific of important events.
A new Constitution for the State has
been drafted, adopted by the people
and put into operation. The move
ment for Greater New York has been
pushed to a successful issue. A new
Excise law, which revOlutiOniZes the
liquor traffic, has been enacted and is
upheld by the Courts. A greater
scheme of canal improvement, to cost
s., ,000, 900, has been voted and started.
Two other public improvements of
even vaster extent have passed all the
preliminary stages of preparation, and
now await only the fnanciering for the
work of construction to begin. These
are the North river bridge and the un-
der-ground railroad. The Legislature
Friday passed the bill embOdying the
final legislation required by the Rapid
Transit Commission. In three years
the Police Department has been re-
organized, and deep-rOOted abuses
eradicated. An equally important re-
form has been accomplished in the
passage of the new School bill, which
has Just been approved by the Mayor,
and which will be signed by the Cover
nor. This will do for the public
school system what new police legisla-
ton and new Police Board has done
for the Police Department. There has
also been tremendous political change,
amounting to almost a revolution. A
Republican has been elected Governor
for the first time in Is years. Another
Republican has been elected Mayor of
the metropolis for the first time in a
generation. A new Ballot law has con-
frmed New York in its habit of pOliti-
cal independence. Tammany has been
driven from power in New York. The
Mclaughlin machine has been over.

of COney Island, has been sent to

PRELIMINARY political work in our
State is getting well in line. This
week will be an interesting and busy
one to the people of this state who are
interested in the question of woman
suffrage, or more properly equal suf-
frage, as conventions will be held IN
each of the three counties of the state.
The first one of the week was held for
Sussex county in Lewes, yesterday.
To-day county convention will be
held at Dover, and tomorrow and Fri
day the New Castle county convention
will be held at Newport. Interesting
programmes was arranged for all three
of the conventions, and the object OF
each of them is to form County Equal
Suffrage Association. The calls fol
each are materially the same. "Tht
question of woman suffrage is aggres-
sively before all the people of the grea'
West"
Following these will be the Republi
can and Prohibition conventions. Th'
Republican convention will be held IL
Dover May 18th, and the Prohibition
in the same place two days after, MAJ
18th.

Funeral of Richard Brown.

The funeral of Richard A. Brown,
whose death was announced in our
last issue, took place on Sunday after
noon, and was a notable event in the
way of funerals. From the early age
at which he was carried off, 33 years,
his identity as clever hackman with
so many families and seeming in
popular favor with every one, it was
hardly to be wondered at that there
wasa general sympathy, and disposi-
ton to manifest it. This was so with
all classes. The white people were out
to a number perhaps never before
equaled, many in the house, but a
larger number out in the yard, for the
church fell large way short of hold
ing the people. Many walked down
and remained but short time because
there was no room within the church
doors. The services were naturally
protracted, at the conclusion of which
the ceremony of taking last view of
the deceased, including those from the
yard, marching by the bier in pro-
cession-took some forty minutes.
During this time the choir with organ
accompaniment sang appropriate hymns
very affectively.
The services were directed by the
pastor, Rev. E. Byrd. The funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. Geo. W.
Dame, of the Episcopal Church from
l Chronicles, XIV. 53-''FOr this cor
ruptible must put on in corruption,
and this mortal must put on i'm
mortality" The sermon was an able
presentation of the thought embodied
in the text, and directed with tender
ness and effect. He was followed by
Rev. j. X. Adams, of Centennial
Church, who followed up and enlarged
on the line of thought set forth by the
first speaker especially commenting to
the attention of his hearers for their ex-
emplifcatiOn of the virtues of the de-
ceased which made him thusrespected-
his truthfulness, his reliability, his hon
esty and his exactness IN keeping prom
ises. A few remarks by Rev. James
Pritchett, in reference to his knowledge
of the deceased closed the speaking.
The remains were inferred in a well
prepared grave in the cemetery adjOin-
ing the church, Revs. Byrd and Hoxi-
ter officiating. A society of young
colored women entitled Daughters of
the Conference, wearing white sashes
and white bands around their hats,
| took part in these services, very much
after the manner of Odd Fellows on
similar occasions. It was well on to
five O'Clock when the services were
over. About the coffin in the Church
was prOfusiOn of flowers, among then
some handsome designs from city
florists.

The Publishers Guide has the fol-
lowing abont the daley newspapers
their quantity, quality ETC.:
"a general shake-up seems to be as
prevalent in the journalistic as In the
political field. With the changes in
staff of the leading papers in the prin-
cipal cities, the reduction of prices to
the beggarly sum of one cent, the bit
ter rivalry for supremacy, the putting
forth of the best efforts of the circula-
ton liar, there is sufficiently plenty
of gossip among newspaper men. In
the meantime the papers constantly
improve-in quantity, but not IN
quality. 1t is safe to say that 1t Is not
conceivable that any greater amount OF
rubbish could be printed than there is
at present. This, with the fearful at
tempts at chrOmatic illustration, IS
enough to give reader Of average
cultivation the nightmare.

The question whether the world is
growing better or not lis answered in one
direction at least by the enactment of
laws to promote public virtue and pro-
tect those who have not the power to
protect themselves from severe task
masters. In the most Of the manu-
featuring states laws have been passed
to prevent parents putting their child
ren in mills before reaching a certain
age, thus making them prematurely
old by robbing them of the period that
nature designed should be given to
play and the incidental life Of child
hood.
Among the many reform bills en-
acted by the present Legislature Of
New York is one noted in the papers
of that State Saturday, ''To protect
women and children working in
stores" It was signed BIZ Governor
Morton on Friday.
The bill requires that no boy under
sixteen years old, and no woman un-
der twenty-one years old, employed II
any mercantile establishment in this
State shall be required or permitted ts
work therein more than sixty hours il
any one week, nor more than ian hour
in any one day, unless for the purpose O
making a shorter workday on ilny on
day of the week; and in no case shall
any boy under sixteen, or any womal
under twenty-one, work in any mer
camille establishment after Id oclocl

Art in Clothing.
~&~O)>~

Artistic taste and workmanship are to day
the most essential features Of a successful
Clothing business. The last few years Cloth
ing dealers have gone headlOng to ''cheapside;;"
everything is cheap, cheap, cheap-and cheap
looking. 1t has been put together regardless
Of fit Sty lie, strength or durability.
This kind of stuff has flooded the markets
until consumers have become dsgusted with
it. We have fortunately never caught the
fever. 1t is true we have carried the medium
grades Of goods and endeavored to meet the
popular demand
Take our $500 Mems Suits and our 81. .25
$500, $3.50 Boys Suits for example Every
piece OF goods is selected with as much care
for its durability and fashioned into as stylish
and good fitting garments as our better grades
of clothing
The result is gratifying to us and shows
that the trade appreciates our Judgment and
efforts in this respect
To know how to get that style, character
and durability into our Clothing is our trade
secret.
