The Cards ve-e Marked and Colonel Du-
len Refused Ills Guests Money.
''I once had a sample Of southern
ohivalry, said Judge Wildly after be
had adjourned court and dropped into
the village tavern, "that made a deeper
impression on me than anything ] ever
read about the subject. After l was ad-
mitted TO the bar was pretty well run
down in health, fer / had gone a faster
pace than is good for any young mann
There didn't appear to be any impora-
tive demand for my services IN the
ranks Of the profession, and, as my folks
still had some money th.st th-ay were
willing TO spend upon me,s1 decided on
a southern trip.
Il did a good deal of wandering
through that delightful part Of the conn
try and finally brought up in the north
efn part of Texas, where the climate
just suited me and many people in the
town had nothing to do bat enjoy them
selves The hunting was good, and there
were always a dozen young fellows
ready to join in the sport. The girls at
the female seminary were charming,
and the clandestine fiirtations ! carried
on will always be a pleasant memory.
"But / met my chivalrous friend in
Colonel Dulen. His manners and con-
versation betokonod good breeding, but
he was a lover of hcrses, cards and high
( living. One day he told me that there
was going to be a stiff game of poker
/ and asked me if I would like TO see it.
Notwithstanding it was Sunday, I went
along. We walked to the rear Of tho city
hall, where he quickly unlocked rear
door and stood on tho inside acting as
lookout until half dozen young men
were admitted. Then he led the way to
the council chamber, and there the game
was played.
"The colonel did not ask me TO take
a hand, but somo of the others did, and
l gratefully accepted. 1t did not require
! long to discover that it was the coonel's
day. In three hours he had all the
money, several 1 O US and my gold
watch. Through it all he was suayity
itself and cool as northwest wind. He
went with me to my room at the hotel,
locked the door, counted out what he
had won from mo and laid it, with my
watch, on the table. ! Indignantly de-
clined to be thus reimbursed, but he
ooolly disposed Of the matter by saying
'All the cahds woah mawked, sub, SO
| could havo read them across the street
| That gang has been robbin me, and I
was gettin even, sub. You played squah
and had no show. See you in the

j. r. Stoops has been awarded the
contract for two drive wells for the re-
servoir at the new railway company's

ably be dug to the depth of 100 feet, on
until the water-bearing sand is struck
"A strata has been found along the river
front at the depth of thirty-four feet
This strata is prolific in its water
bearing qualities, as a well on Front
street bears witness. Water, standing
i'm the same. tWeuty-siX feet above the
bottom OF the drive well, thus show
ing a considerable pressure of water
and unlimited amount.
The first well dug at the new power

RUSSIAN STEAMER NOT READY.

MAY NOT SAIL FOR A WEEK.
EVERYTHING AT SEA EXCEPT
THE MEN
The British steamship Henley is not
yet ready for her long voyage to Maria
pole, and did not sail for that Russian
port his morning. She may not get
away for several days yet. IL also be-
came known yesterday that the ma
chinery has taken up so much room on
board ship that thereare noaccommoda
tions for the men unless they can be
hypnotized and laid along the deck like
cOrdwood.
Everything seems at sea this morn
ing except the men. From present APP
pearances it is not unlikely that the
workmen will take passage on a line
steamship to Bremen and go from
there overland to Mariapole. Other
wise the Russian-American Company
may provide passage for them on the
second steamer that sails early next
month with locomotive machinery for
Mini Novgarod, several hundred miles

Wilmington, Del, July 16, 1896.
A. Jaslowsl1y, Esq,
General Agent for the Massachus-
etts Benefit Life Association,
Dear Sir: Allow me to express my
sincere thanks for the prompt manner
in which you settled the clafn of One
Hundred Dollars on the life of my
boy, Paul Radek. The total premiums
/ paid were only S1.14. If he had been
insured in one of the weekly compan-
les 1 would have only drawn $50 and
would have had to pay % cents a
month, while in the
Massachusetts, Benefit Life
1 only paid 10 cents each month. My
claim was reported July 10th and i've
days after 1 received a check for the
full amount. If / had taken the advice
of agents of the weekly companies
would have dropped your insurance
and taken theirs, thereby losing sixty
one dollars. l strongly advise my
friends and tho public in general who
desire insurance or who have insur-
ance at the present time that they can
secure protection at far less than the
usual high rates of other companies
by Joining your company. Again
thanking you and the Massachusetts
Benefit Life Association for your
prOmptness and courtesy in adjusting
the claim, I remain
Very truly yours,

THE NEGRO IN THE CAMPAIGN.

Judging from the trend which public
sentiment is taking, it is reasonable tc
infer that the Negro question will no,
play very important part in the com
ing campaign The colored people
themselves do not expect it, and no
where do we hear our leaders demand
ing that that question he pushed to the
front. That does not, however, show
any lack of appreciation on their part
Of their rights under the constitution,
nor tl,e want of maplincss in self-asser'
tion. They subordinate their own in
tercsts to the larger good of the party
and in doing so they show that they
are a self-sacriticing people. Of course,
II is not expected that the republican
party will turn its back on its past rec
ord, but it will not make the Negro
question prominent in the campaign OF
lSg6.
Colored men have already been In
vitcd to take the stump for the party,
and no doubt invitations will be extend
cd to others who are competent to dis
cuss the issues of the present campaign
In their relations TO the prosperity, and
advancement of the whole people. Men
who do not live in the present, and who
are not prepared to advance reasonable
arguments for the maintenance of the
national credit had better stay at home
and keep their mouths shut. Justice
will be given the Negro, and those who
are worthy will receive due recognition.
Chairman Hanna knows What he is
about, and he is going to poll a mighty
big vote for Mckinley and Hobart in
November next. Rest assured that the
colored brother will not get left, al
though he may not be greatly in evil
dcncc at the present time.-Colorcd
American.
Every word you say is true. The
Negro question in politics is thing OF
the past.-Itis dead4apd buried and we
trust II has ascended beyond the recall
OF man, never, no never, to return again.
We hope in future that the Negro, like
other American citizens, will be Judged
according To his worth and ability
without reference to his color. The
Negro has brains, let him cultivate
them; he has hands, let him work; he
has thought and reason, let him use
them, not only for the good Of himself,
but FOR his country and its flag, for his
race and his God. by these means let
him merge to the front and when once
there, stny there.

that, instead of printing dots and
dashes on a strip of paper, typewrites
message on sheet of letter paper at
both ends of the wire simultaneously.
The two machines are identical in
every respect, and each can be used
either as transmitter or receiver.
