The farmers of Delaware will be likely
to learn some sound money truth be-
fore election day in very practical
way. A man who handles lightning
rods was in Wilmington on Friday
making inquiry in regard to State
license, as he is about TO begin work
in this State. He win canvass the
farming district to sell his lightning
rods and when farmer buys rod on
time, the agent will have him give a
promissory note. Here is where the
sound money instruction comes in, for
the blank form of the note contains the
promise to pay in standard gold coin
Of the United States.
The report of the entering up of q
gold bond by Prothonotary Woolley,
published exclusively in Every Even
ing, Friday, was reai with interest.
Ohio Nowland, treasurer of the
Equitable Guarantee and Trust Co.,
speaking of the significance of the
gold clause, said his morning: "It
simply indicates to my mind that the
mortgage wants to get his money
back; don't want to take the risk of
getting paid off in silver dollars which
is threatened by the election of
Bryan.
While most Western mortgages have
had the gold clause for years it has
been rather unusual in the East.
According to Information obtained at
a Wilmington lawyers office this morn
ing, the gold clause ia used in mort
cages running more than a year, in
order to avoid receiving debased cur
| rency.
Recorder of Deeds Courtland G..
Montgomery says that lots Of mort
cages have been drawn with the gold
clause. and filed month before the
Chicago convention. He said that be
did not know of any filed recently.

The Pomp and Ceremony That Attended

The morning of Sunday, Dec g, 1904,
cession passed from tho Tuileries to Notre
Dame. The streets were lined and the
houses decorated, but the people Of Paris,
stated with ceromonials, were, in spite Of
self interest silent and critical. On the
other hand, tho presence of the German
princes in the train, and the glittering
costumes Of the court, threw the provin-
cial populations and the thronSS of Office
holders who had come up from oil France
into a deirium Of enthusiasm.

chamberlain ambled by on mule at tho

pontiff entered the majestic cathedral from

umphal music. Passing in burst Of sun

tering the vestry, the emperor donned his
coronation robes and a crown of laurel
leaves Thence, with the empress at his
side he proceeded In state to the place pre-
pared for them in the lofty nave, facing

-torious Number One" has been arrested
here on Scotland Yard warrant which
was issued in 1882. lyman arrived,in Eu-
rope by landing In Genoa In August. He
proceeded from there to Paris, where no
remained for some days comforting with a
number OF the members of the dynamite
faction Of the Irish party. He had been
travelling under the name of George Cor
don and other aliases, when he arrived In
Boulogne on Friday evening, and put up
ut the Hotel Folkestone, where he did not
hesitate to expound his Fenian views in
the bar of the hotel.
His movements have been watched from
the time he had arrived In French terri
tory. The local commissary of police, to-
gether with an English detective, burst
into his room at o'clock in the morning
The detective held loaded revolver to
his head and threatened to shoot him If
he resisted lyman was secured and ad-
mitted his identity. discriminating pa
pers and large sum of money were found
In his possession.
The prisoner was lodged In a cell IN the
Boulogne police station, and he will be
arraigned with view to his extradition
to England, The warrant on which the
arrest is made charges that the prisoner
was concerned in the murders of Lord
Frederick Cavsndish, chief secretary, and
Mr.. Burke, under secretary in Phoenix
Park, adjoining the vice regal lodge in
Dublin, on May 8, 1882, and with the
manufacture of dynamite bombs for use

Detective Inspector Walsh has arrived
here from Scotland Yard to conduct the
case. He said that there would be some
connection between Tynan's arrest and
the arrest Of a man named Bell at Glas-
gov and of j. Wallace at Rotterdam,
lyman had not expected that his iden-
tity was known, and he was astounded at
the entry of the detective, commissary and
four officers lyman had shaved his beard.
