Mar! War!

"Uncle Sam hassreeognized the belligerency
in Cuba, and SPainsis about ready to declare war
against Uncle Sam for So doing. She puts us in
mind of a spoilt baby that has been fed on candy
and other sweets for SO long that it can't under
stand why it should do without. The only thing to
do under such circumstances is for Uncle Sam to
administer a sound spanking and put her to bed for
a spell, and she will get up with less desire to push
her notions in the way of putting the patriots OF
''faithful Cuba to death than she now does. We
know that the hearts of every patriotic, free born
American throbs ard burns with indignation, when
he reads what has and is being done by Spain
towards the people of Cuba, and threats that are
also being hurled against our own grand and
glorious country.

Queer Sights of Night Life In the Gold Regions

'Copyrighted 1885, by. Drank g. sCarpenter.)
CRIPPLE CREEK, Sept. 3.-The
gold regions are the only live part Of
the United States Today. Business is
dull in the cities! The factory fires in
many parts of thebcountry are dead
The farmers are lgrumbling at had
times and the laborers are either out
OF work or almost ready to strike for
more wages. This is not so in the
Rockies New prospects are being
opened and the output of gold from
the Cripple Creek district is averag-
Ing about million dollars a month
There are 10000 men now living and
working within a radius of six miles
OF. this town, and what five years ago
was cattle ranch has become one
OF the busiest parts of the United
States. Miners now receive from SO
TO $3.50 day. and the mines are
worked by day and by night.
IN THE HEART OF THE ROCKIES.
You hear little talk of politics and
little growing about the business de-
preston. Every one is crazy for gold,
and the chief subjects of conversation
are the outputs of the mines or the
new strikes which are promised on the
hills all about you
l wish / could show you this Grip
pie Creek region. 1t lies, you know,
just back of Pixies Peak, and, as the
crow flies, within less than 100 miles
OF Denver. 1t is two miles straight

HOMES OF CRIPPLE CREEK.
Back from the business streets you
see the homes of Cripple Creek. The
hills about the stores for radius of
half mile on each side are dotted
with huts, cabins and frame houses of
all descriptions. Some are respectable
cottages, costing hundreds of dollars.
Others are mere store boxes, covered
with red roofing paper, tackled on to
keep out the rain. The most of the
houses are still implanted, and the
fresh yellow pine shines out amid the
shacks which are covered with this
roofing cloth of red or pink There are
many log cabins. These are fiat
rooted, and the earth Is filled up around
their walls to keep out the rain. There
is so little dampness here, you can
sleep on the ground. and the only
danger is from the cold winds of the
winter. Some of the frame houses are
of the shape and size of a street car
without wheels, and others are mere
sheds, knocked up for the time. There
are hundreds Of people living in tents,
and there are boarding tents and lodg-
Ing tents, in which from fifty to sixty
men pay from rs to so cents a night
for a cot and a cover Rents are high
in Cripple Creek. There are no vacant
stores or houses, though building is
going on everywhere. Some stores,

New Castle, July ll.-Citizens of
New Castle are surprised at the alleged
meddliug of Allen H. Knapp. formerly
of this city but now of Cambridge,
Mass, in the recent school fight. 1t
is asserted that he sent the following
letter to Mr.. Frazer:
II cannot refrain from offering my
congratulations TO you, as a member of
the New Castle Board of Education.
for ths display of courage and good
sense which has characterized the
action of the majority at the last two
or three meetings.
81 agree with you and Prof. Andrew
that Miss L--- is not success as a
teacher. I beg your pardon
for intruding my opinion. There seems
TO be an idea that anybody can teach
in the primary rooms. This is mis-
take. Those teachers ought to be the
best.
"However. I rejoice to know that SO
much has been gained on the side of
better schools. My only fear is that
the advantage gained cannot be held.
81 am glad to know that Prof.
Andrew is having such success. He
was fine young man when | knew
him at TIE Normal School. Too bad
that you must lose the services of Miss
Draper go soon. Remember me to
my New Castle friends. Have Just
finished year of heavy work at Har-
vard.''
Miss Mary F. Lofland, to whom the
above is supposed to refer, possesses
the following:
"To whom it may concern: During
the two years that was superintendent
of the New Castle, Delaware, public
schools Miss Mary +. Lohand was
employed as teacher in the first
grammar grade. She was faithful,
thorough, conscientious teacher. The
progress of pupils under her care was
always rapid. Her long experience in
public school work has well fitted her
for any position which she might ac-
cept.

iey's Court
Mrs. Mary A. Baton of Montchanin
was arraigned in Magistrate Kelley's
court yesterday charged by Special
Agent Frank Stout of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Children with
inhuman treatment toward Helen Syl-
vestar, aged 10 years, who had been
adopted by her.
Fully dozen witnesses were heard.
and the evidence was very damaging.
1t was proved that for nearly two years
and a-half Mrs. Baton has been
publishing the child for trivial offences
by locking her up in room and Civ
ing her hut one meal day. 1t was
stated by the child and also by some of
the witnesses that this form OF punish
ment was frequently administered, and
some expressed surprise that the little
girl had survived 80 we'll.
The punishment had told severely on
the little one. Two years ago. some of
her former companions stated, she
was as healthy and hearty as any of
them. but soon after she was adopted
by Mrs. Baton she began to show
signs of declining health and appear
ance. 1t was alleged that she was in
doors for long periods, and on July Sd,
when she was seen outside by one Of
her former companions, the latter did
not know her. At that time Helen
said she was hungry, and neighbor
provided her with food. She related
her experience to her benefactor, who
gave the information to Agent Stout.
Mrs. Baton was declared guilty and
fine of $40 was imposed. The child
was given over to the custody Of the

to Grant a Request.
Horace Z. Woodrow of near Douglass
station on the Delaware railroad, was
in this city yesterday looking out
for a negro named Henry Waters, who,
1T is suspected, assaulted his wife,
Mrs. Mary Woodrow, on Saturday last.
Mr.. Woodrow has kept quiet in regard
10 the matter and thought that the
negro might return on account of hear
ing nothing of the matter. Several
days having elapsed and there being
no sign of his return, Mr.. Woodrow
thought 1t time to apprehend the
fugitive If possible.
The assault is alleged to have
occurred on Saturday morning about
10 o'clock, Mr.. Woodrow, having
gone to Clayton to secure supplies. in
his absence the negro, who was work
ing on the oat field, came to the house
and attempted to abuse Mrs. Wood
row. He first asked her for money and
struck her stinging blow on the face,
telling her to the floor. She struck
her side against the settee, but was
not hurt badly. Edward Kelly, who
was working in the same field, came
to the shed to draw water and saw
Mrs. Woodrow lying on the settee. He
at once asked the reason and not find
ing Waters about the building went in
search of him. The culprit has not
been seen since.

He May bs Nominated by tho Regular
Republicans To-day.
Many OF the delegates TO the Regu-
lar Republican convention, which will
be held at Georgetown were in the city
yesterday and held conference the
purpose of outlining plan for action.
The minority appeared to favor endors-
ing the nomination of j. II. Hoffpcker
and j. S. Willis for Governor and Con.
gressman respectively, and 1t is be.
lieved that strong effort will be made
to have them endorsed. However. the
delegates are not agreed on this point,
and il is not known what the result
will be. Tho Addicks electoral ticket
does not suit them at all, and it is
altogether likely that they will name
another one. Had Mr.. Spruance been
placed on the ticket il would have
been endorsed. Col. H. a. du Pont
will probably be the New Castle
county elector, and 1t is likely that
the Kent delegates will select Manlove
Hayes. The conference continued nearly
ell the afternoon.
A Regular Republican. who appeared
to be in touch with what was going
on, stated that it was the prevailing
opinion that either DR.. SbortlIdge or
Robert Arnell will be nominated for
Governor The New Castle county
people want Shortlidge and some from
the lower end of the State are favor
able to the candidacy of Arnell. The
gubernatorial nomination will probably
bring about q lively fight at the con-
yention, but it is believed that the
Wilmington man will win.

date, was iu the city aud it is believed
he will be given hearing during the
afternoon by the Regular delegates.
