News comes from London that the
home secretary has ordered the re-
lease of Dr. Jameson, the leader of the
Transvaal raiders. The ostensible
ground for the release is that the pris-
oner's state Of health will not permit
him to serve out his sentence of If
teen months in Holloway Jail, but the
real reason is that the English people
are in sympathywith the doctorand his
dashing enterprise, and his release will
touch popular chord in England if not
in the Transvaal.

THE ADDICKs FREEzE-OUT.

The composition Of the Constitu-
tional Convention is another evidence
of the hatred which the regular Repub-
licans entertain for J. Edward Ad-
dicks and his followers. They are de-
feating him and his projects at every
turn, and will never desist until they
have driven him out of Delaware poll
tics. Assuming that they were the
judges of the qualification of the con-
ventions members, the democrats and
regular Republicans cut the Gordian
knot and settled the Kent county con-
troversy by agreeing to the seating Of
five Democrats and five Addicksites
from that county. This action led to
a bolt of the Addicks delegates, but
this action on their part was ignored.
and the sixteen Democrats and nine
regular Republicans settled down to
the business Of organizing the con-
vention just as though they never
knew that such a man as Addiclxs ex-
listed. They divided up the offices, the
Democrats taking the chairman and
secretary and the regular Republicans
the assistant secretary. Not "A
crumb was given to the five
Addicksites, and they are now at
liberty to enter the convention or stay
out. II makes little difference to the
Democrats and regular Republicans
what they do, for their action will
have no earthly effect upon the char
acter of the new Constitution, as they
will have little or no hand in its franz
ing. They may fume and fret, but the
twenty-five delegates who have made
the organization can also make the
new Constitution, and the parties
which they represent can ratify it If il
is submitted to the people.
The long and short of the matter is
that Addicks and his friends have ex-
perienced a genuine freeze-out.

He had the toothache.
At last he could stand II no longer
With mighty resolve he jumped out oil

Standing on chair he CROPPED about the
top shelf of the cupboard In search OF the
bottle. He searched in vain. Although
he knew IL was there he couldn't put his
hands on 1t. 1t seemed To him that he
had handled every blessed bottle at least
score of times. In the midst of his swear
ing brilliant idea struck him. He re-
membered that laudanum was poison.
Hurrying back to the bedroom he went TO
the crib and dragged forth the baby.
Once more he stood on the chair This
time he had the baby In his arms. He
held the little thing up until her tiny little
fingers touched the row Of bottles. The
sorrowing man watched the little hand
travel lightly over the walls and then
suddenly clutch at one. As he took II
away from the baby q smile OF satisfaction
lit up his face. The label on the bottle
