greatly benefited thereby; but, alas!
''money matters became scarce land the
poor BritOn was forced to associate with
the delirium tremens and massive diges-
tion Of the Saxon, who fioated in vast
ocean Of lard and wassail during his
waking hours and slept with the cum

floors were cArpeted with straw and
frescCed with bones.
Let us not swell with pride as we re-

marked by an eternal combat between
malignant alcoholism and trichinOsis.
Many Saxcn would have filled

enemies was part Of their religion,

CHAPTER II.
AgricOla no doubt made the Roman
yoke easier upon the nccks Of the con-
quered people and suggested the rotation
of crops. He also invaded Caledonia and
captured quite a number of Scotchmen,
whom he took home and dcmcsticated.
Afterward, in 121 A. D., the Emper-
or Hadrian was compelled to build q
wall to keep out the still unconquered
Caledonians. This is called the "Picts'
wall" and a portion of it still exists.
Later, in 20S A. D., Severus built q
solid wall of stone along this line, and
for 70 years there was peace between
the two nations.
Toward the end Ct the third century
Carausius, who was appointed to the
thankless task of destroying the Saxon
pirates, shook off his allegiance to the
Emperor Diccletian, joined the pirates
and turned cut Diccletian, usurping the
business management of Britain for
some years But, alas! he was soon as
sassinated by one Of his own officers be-
fore he could call for help, and the as

Christianity was introduced into Brit
ain during the second century, and later,
under Diccletian, the Christians were
greatly prosecuted. Christianity did not
come from Rome it is said, but from
Gaul. Among the martyrs in those early
days was St. Alban, who had been con-
verted by fugitive priest. The story
of his life and death is familiar.
The Bible had been translated, and
II 314 A. d. Britain had three bishops
viz, of London, Lincoln and York.

PIES,
the return of the regular Roman army,
which went back to Rome to defend the
Imperial city from the Goths who
,ought to "stable their stock in the pal
ace OF the Caesars" us the historian so
tersely puts it,
In 41S A. D. the Roman forces came
up to London for the summer and re-
PEELED the Scots and Picts, but soon re-
turned to Rome, leaving the provincial
people of London with disdain.. Many
of the Roman officers while in Britain
had their clothes made in Rome, and
some even had their linen returned
every 80 days and washed in the Tiber.
In 446 A. d. the Britons We're ex-
tremely unhappy. "The barbarians

James + Bradley and jeff Blakcly ran a
foot race the distance being 80 yards and
strange to relate Bradley won. The pig
race was the most exciting event OF the
days sport. Some fifteen or twenty men
had paid al entrance fee of 10 cents each
for the privilege OF catching IL 1O-pound
pig by his greasy tail. The pig was given
two trials as the boys fouled ON the first
trial
When the pig was turned loose the

awful and ludcrous. The boys fell on the
pig in their efforts to get hold of Its tail,
and it looked ut one time as if the animal
had been crushed, 50 large was the pile of

How EOndIeY Made The Recnrd.

Elvic C. Cooley has announced that his
time of 1870 between Brandywine Sum
init and Washington street bridge was
made through Husbands Lane. This re
moves the suspicion which has been in the
minds of many whcellnen concerning the
time. The lane ever which Cooley rode
shortens the distance $50 yards over the old
route and allows the rider good solid road
all the way instead of the sandy road on
the old course.
While there is no route laid down for
the whcclmen it looks as though Cooley
had the advantage and the matter viii
probably be left to the Wilmington Bicycle
Club to decide,
Last night John l.. Clark, Jr, and
Robert Weer rode over the course. Clark
was paced by Pyle and Courtney on tho
tandem and finished in 1909
Weer was paced by Minnick and Pyle
and finished in 2J45.
After Wcer finished last night the spec
tators crowded out on the bridge forgetful
OF the pace makers. The tandem dashed
into the crowd and f. C. COOLEY and w.
h. Wccr were slightly injured. They

EX-SENATOR Quay had the persuasive pow.
er to straighten out the affairs Of the

Perhaps he could have some good effect
on the two Republican factions in Della
ware II he would make visit here and
read the riot act as only he can. Outside
influence will have to be called in to
straighten out the political muddle The
sooner it Is done the better it will be for
the chances of the Republican party to
carry the State this fall. There never was
better chance for the Republicans to
carry Delaware than this year, and the
men who stand in tho way of this event
should be politically ostracised. The sue
cess Of the Republican party Is what this
paper has always fought for. 1t has never
been controlled as an organ by any man
or set of men, but has always lifted up
It's voice for the SUCCESS of the grand old
party. Let all woullbc leaders Of the
party who stand in the way Of success
this fall be branded as traitors and un-
worthy of the maine of republicans.
AT the coroner's inquest over the body
of William II. Steward, who lost his life
by coming in contact with live electric
wire, Manager C. r. Van Trump, James
Y. Gray, William Mckenzie and John
Truax testified that they had each taken
electric shocks of 10 volts without seri-
Gus injury. That is the voltage they
claim was the cause of Stewards death.
From this it appears that what kills one
man has no porceptible i'll effects upon
another person. All the same, no matter
how high or low the voltage, the electric
current snapped the life chords of Will
liam H. Steward and sent him to his eter-
nal sleep. Electricity may be harmless,
but We would not advise any of our read
crs to monkey with u live electric wire.
THESE are the days of surprises, and
the Single Takers will astonish the Dem
ocratic party in Delaware by the number
of votes they will control in the party's
ranks. The leaders of the Democratic
party in Delaware have been prosecuting
the Single Takers by putting them in Jail
for attempting to speak on the public
streets Of Dover, and this is making votes
for them. 1t is placing Democracy In u
bad light In the State. But brighter days
will come when the Republicans are in
the ascendency in Delaware.
