No one denies that the votes cast for

deny that it was the will OF the voters
of Delaware that Mr. Shaw should be
one OF their three representatives in

We're counted as though they were cast
for two men instead of one. and that
fact gives Hon. John II. Rodney, the

New York to see National Chairman
Hanna, he was assured by thatsupreme
representative of the prospective Nc
Kinley administration that he had
made no ante-election promises to the

garding the dispensation of Federal
patronage. Now that the battle is
fought and the victory won, it will be
interesting to note the number and

come OF the matter viii be the election
of ex-Chancellor James l.. Wolcott,
remarked one of the most prominent
Democrats of Wilmington to an Even
ing Journal reporter this morning.
There is one thing almost certain,
and that is that a New Castle county
man will not get the place, for the rea-
son that we already have a United
States senator and representative in
Congress. When Ebe w. Tunnel was
nominated for governor it was the un
derstanding that Sussex would help
Kent to secure the United States sena-
tor should the legislative tickets pun
through Therefore, Kent will get it,
and James L. Woloott will be the man.
He Is head and shoulders above any
other Kent or Sussex county man who
has been mentioned, and the office
rightfully belongs to him.

THE CARE OF PIG.

A pig is pig until it gets its natura
growth, which is about four years of
age; hence we have no hogs at the pres
ent day except now and then a breeding
animal. The pig is particularly liable to
many diseases which trouble other
species OF animals very little. They of.
ten have fevers, measles, rheumatism,
cholera, liver complaint, kidney disease
and partial paralysis, as when in afflict-
ion they drag their hind parts after them.
If their nature were better understood,
millions of dollars would be saved annu-
ally in the United States on the "hog
question" In the first place they are
very sensitive 10 cold and storms. This
came about by man breeding of great
portion of his hair and all of the under
growth of fine, short, woody hair that
nature furnished him for protection
against inciement weather Man did
this, and as compensation for the loss,
he generally fails to provide proper
shelter and comfortable quarters. The
pig takes cold in consequence, and, as
result, rheumatism, paralysis and other
Affections set in. l have seen in the
West, when there was snow on the
ground, herds Of pigs with no shelter
except such as was furnished by piece
of timber land
Those who do attempt to furnish
shelter rarely do it In an effectual or
even sensible manner, The pig pen is
usually filthy and the bedding, perhaps,
wet or damp. Who has not heard at

such condition. Let person sleep cold

perhaps spell OF bodily sickness. Look
at the veterinary department of almost
any agricultural paper during cold
weather and see how often the question
is asked, "What ails my pigs" In al
most all such cases the correct answer
would be, want of sensible care. The
veterinarian generally prescribes medi-
cine for the ailing pigs when it would
be much more sensible to prescribe for
their owner and tell him to go and
doctor" his pig pen. As one who has
done considerable of such sort of pre-
scribing for pigs, and expects to do
more of it, | earnestly plead for the
comfort of the helpless pigs. They
would not be so tender If man had not
made them 50. 1t is cruelty to animals
to permit them to suffer thus. All "cal-

One Went Twenty-Five Days without
Food.
Some very long survivals are on rec
ord, but none, perhaps, more interesting
or remarkable than well authenticated
case which comes from France, says
Public Opinion, Mr. Gely, superin-
tendent at Dampierre, in the department
of the upper Saone, has dog named
Rigolet, which, although past ten years
old and almost toothless, has never
abated the activity OF his warfare against
all the animals of the warfare, especially
against foxes. A short time ago as Mr.
Gely, with his dog, was passing the
mouth of a foxburrow, RigOlet made a
sudden and furious descent on the bur
row, showing plainly that it was inhab-
tied. II had SO spacious an opening that
the dog forced himself into it quite out
of sight. Presently the master heard the
tumult of battle within. 'Fhe dog was
barking fercely Then there came a
sound az = eavin-In and the noise ceased.
Either Rigolet had been silenced b. the
fox or he had been engulfed BY the col,
lapse of the gallery in which the tight
was taking place, Mr.. Gely set about
digging him out but found the ground
so stony that he was obliged to give ii up
and the old dog was left to his fate.
Gely went home, and after mourning
the dog few days, thought of him no
more. Twenty one days went by. 1t
happened that the miller of the neigh.
borhood, passing the fox-burrow with a
friend, said: There's the place where
poor old Rigolet was buried alive"
lust then he heard feeble whining
which seemed to come from under.
ground. He called and listened and the
whining was repeated louder than
before. There was certainly dog
within the ox-burrow The miller ran
to aPprise Gely, who this time brought
picks and shovels and sufficient mum
Der of hands to open the burrow After
five hours of active digging the old
dog was unearthed at a considerable
depth. As soon as he was brought 10
the open air Rigolet fell to the ground,
apparently dead. But his master sue
ceeded in reviving him with doses of
beef tea and milk and the old dog was
seemingly as good as ever 1t became a
question whether he had tasted in The
burrow for the twenty-five days or
whether he had subsisfed on the fox,
which he certainly found 1t was as
sumed by his master that he was too
nearly toothless to have been able to
devour fox, and those who dug him
out declared that there was no sign
that he had had anything to eat.
