REGLIiH CASE FOR MONDAY.

Five judges VIII Hear it Then n the
Harris wili Case Does Not Take Preoe-
dence.
The sewer lien test case OF English VS.
the Mayor and Council OF Wilmington Ia
set for argument on next Monday. IL
involves about $50 600. II Is a remark
able case from the fsct that it will be
tried by the Court In BaDc, hich is com
posed Of all the judges In the state-the
chancellor. chief justice aud three asso-
ciate judges. This makes this court
practically higher than the Cour5 OF
Errors and Appeals. IL is 4 couct which
convenes only on very rare occasions, and
has not been together for several years
Whether the case will be heard on
Monday Is yet an open question The
Harris will case In Kent county may take
precedence. as the English case will, Ia
all probability, occupy a week or ten
days, and the Harris case will take q
much shorter tins.
The English case will probably be
heard IN Dover, although the lawyers
engaged in t. who are all Whining

light and joyous and jovial that she look
ed up quickly. He picked up lamp and
said:
II want to 90 into the parlor minute
before supper"
A moment later he called out cheerily:
"Come In here an see your Christmas
gift, ma. It's such q beauty can't wait
until morning"
When she reached the open door Of
the parlor she saw her husband on his
knees between q little boy of about 4
years and little girl of 2, his arm around
their waists. A little woman, with thin,
pale, tear-stained face showing beneath
her cheap little mourning bonnet, was
standing behind Jason.
"Why-why-Jennyv

There was q string of blue glass beads
that he had given her on her fifth birth
day and In q heavy black case was a
daguerreotype of her with the beads
around her neck. The little pictured
face smiled up ut him from the frame
and there was q mist before his eyes
when he thought of how many, many
times those bare little arms had tight
ened in a warm embrace around his neck,
and Of how many times those smiling
lips had kissed him and said:
81 love you best of anybody In all the
world, farver."
Everything In the trunk was a re-
minder OF his little Jenny in her baby
days. He sat down on the floor be-

softening and his heart growing warmer

the kitchen. His wife looked up from
the weekly paper she was reading and
said:

You're the best gift, the sweetest gift,

only fitted for very large Railways or
church decorations. OF course the mis-
tletoe must not be missing among the
Christmas evergreens, especially IL there
are young people in the family. 1t should
be tied on chandelier, where every
pretty girl who passes under it can be
easily caught and made to pay the sweet
penalty. The handsomest mistletoe has
white berry and grows on apple trees
in Alabama.
Holly, the great Yule-tide evergreen.
is used for every conceivable purpose-to
drape picture frames and hang over doors
and mirrors in wreaths and garlands. A
pretty idea Is to lay garland loaded
with bright red berries all around the
Christmas dinner table. Holly Is gath
cred in the New Jersey, Maryland, Della
ware and Alabama forests and ordinarily
Is very plentiful. Hemlock makes a
beautiful garland to drape over large mir
rors, and when combined with laurel Is
particularly effective. Laurel alone is
much used. Galax leaves, which look
like wax and are shaped like an ivy leaf,
are much used in combination with the
swamp berry, a little bright-red berry
about the size Of wild cherry. These,
made into balls, look well hanging from
chandelier. Florida smilax makes a beau
tiful decoration hung oyer a mirror or
draped over a doorway.

Political Notes.

Uncle Horace Boies says that ''the
silver question in 1900 will be broader
ISSUE" Then 1t will have to be mighty
thin.
The Republicans increased their vote
in all of the Southern States except Ar
kansas and South Carolina this year,
the total gain being over 100000.
Cleveland and Hill were elected
Mayor of their respective cities in the
same year. Both retire from public
office on the same day next March.
The Austin Statesman thinks that IL
Mr.. Bryan makes $4,000 year for the
next four years by lecturing there will
be no danger Of his becoming free
silver candidate for the Presidency.
Seven counties in Kansas cast an
aggregate Of less than a thousand
votes, and will be consolidated into
three counties to save expenses. If
Kansas sticks to Populism few years
it will present great attractions as a
buffalo range.
mckinley cannot be convicted be-
fore he is tried" says a free silver or
gan. But that was what the people
did in Bryan's case, which Is to say
that his speeches gave them conclusive
reasons for finding him guilty without
q trial.
