STATIONS ILL-ADVISED LETTER.
We congratulate State Senator John
Pyle upon having received a renomi-
nation at the hands of his fellow-Demo-
Gratis of Wilmington. For four years
he has represented them and the people
with fidelity and in return for those
services they will send him to Dover
for four years longer. 1t is a matter of
regret that the frauds practiced in GER
tain wards at the recent primaries
should have precipitated a contest be-
tween Mr.. Pyle and Mr.. Stayton, but we
feel sure that neither prompted their
preparation.
In his letter published in another
column, Mr. Stayton makes some ex-
cuses for his withdrawal, which will
not elevate him much in the eyes OF
the Democratic party of the city and
county. He attacks the county com
mittee, the Police Commission, the Po-
lice Department and everything and
everybody who did not contribute to
his nomination. His letter is intem-
perate and ill-advised, but we print il
for what it is worth. 1t shows that he
is not a man who can take defeat
easily or gracefully, or subordinate his
own personal ambitions to the will an6
welfare of the party.

lie asked them to withdraw their cleo
tors for the sake of Mr.. Mckinley.
They emphatically refused to do SO,
and came home.
Then the regulars began making
compromise propositions. They were
refused as fast as made. and the regu-
lars were forced to one OF two alterna-
tives. The first, which was most to
their liking, was to keep their electors
in the field, split the vote and thereby
defeat Addicks at the possible expense
Of Mr.. Mckinley. The second was to
withdraw their electors and accept
those nominated by Addicks. When
Chairman Hanna was made acquainted
with the true state of the case he
doubtless said to these men:
sink your principles and feelings
for the sake OF Mckinley and we Will
see that you have no cause to regret it.
Use the Addicks electors to advance
your own interests, and rest assured
that Mckinley viii know you as his
true friends in Delaware and treat you
accordingly"
Then came the meeting at Dover, the
withdrawal of Messrs. Spruance and
Hayes, the ratification Of Messrs. Shaw
and Wilson, and the full performance
of their part OF the compact which is
to give to them the spoils and to the
Addickites the cold comfort of having
used their efforts to elect three electors
to vote for man who, If elected presi-
dent, will refuse to recognize them as
Republicans and leave them out en-
tirely when the plum season opens.

A Model Correspondent,


One woman who has long list Of
friends with whom she corresponds has
record of never being in arrears with
her letters. She has made it rule to
write one friendly letter each day. It
may not be a long epistle, but it is al
ways an interesting one, for it gives
in a newsy, bright manner the little
incidents of the writer's daily life. and
is not penned with the idea of simply
filling certain number of sheets. Bust
ness letters must be written, and take
much time; this one epistle day is
only heart-to-heart chat with friend,
consuming only just as much time as
the writer can spare sometimes ten
minutes, on other days half an hour.
By this rule of writing a single letter
to some one of her correspondents each
day this woman says she is never obliged
to give whole day to Catching up"
with her friends, and she scarcely
misses the few minutes she spends every
"a hours in excepting event. Harper's
Bazaar.

miller'a interest. zs'5 .5
When, ct length, she arrived at the
door of the mill and deposited her bur-
den beside it, said he: /. +. *.s
''You have meaning step p'tite and
q pretty one
!, & True? questioned Colette, with
something finely scornful on her clo-
,quent lips. She was piqued, let us be-
lieve, since he had not noticed her pretty
face; for, though a woman may be con-
scious of her subtlest grace and charm,
homage to the features is the thing the
real joy. Isn't it SO, Barbon? Well
said the miller, II doubt not there is
more in your mind than the mere grind
ing Of yonder grist, eh?'
!" 1t is my mind now, said she. IT
was my step lately!' 81
!" 1t is the mind which regulates the
step p'tite. i always watch the step
when would know the mind" he re-
sponded.
:. Now, there IS much in these frag-
ments which reveals the clearness of
Zephrin's mind at that period and also
the real character of the man and the
bent of his spirit. You see, it was the
gesture, the carriage, the aspect that in
tercsted him most. Why? We Shall
see. Though Colctte, it may be pre-
sumed, did not realize the true sig
nifcance Of his words, she remembered
theln-everyone-and repeated them to
her mother, who i'll turn told erything
to the cure, Langolois, from who have
this story. The girl confessed also to
her1nother that she was much surprised
regarding the il!-reputed miller. M.
Moisson-Zephrin, She declared was not
at all weird man, but, OH the contrary,
very sensible and good-natured. Yet
her mother warned her she must be
wary; such fine qualities oftentimes
screened the worst souls. Colette, how
ever, maintained stolidly not word of
the village gossip was true. Indeed"

said she, they say also a. naught things
of me, because they think I am proud.
And you know, mamma, I am not proud
nor wicked So every time Colette
fetched the grist from the MILL she re-
turned radiant and full OF praise of the
miller. At length one day said he to
her, so she retorted:
"'Colette, lam going to ask you some
thing

answer will be- she responds with much
piquancy.
r''Well, if I:should ask you to marry
me?'
Then should answer, ''no!"'
"'Why?' says the miller, his heart
sinking to his boots, no doubt; but ris-
ing again very quickly when he catches
the twinkle OF mischief in her eyes.

never win my heart, says she, coquet-
tishly, yet with something truly dra-
matte in her pose. That is only for a
great man.

Now he draws her hands across the
door Of the mill and kisses her fair head
that is fallen against his breast and
that is all. Let us suppose they simply
looked out in day-dream across the
little River Of Angels, to the pleasant
daisied meadows and green fields about
here.

gravely and with q new, Strange look

been for one who had but Just tasted
the sweets Of knowledge. Then, every
dusty timber Of the mill must have
seemed to hin, like ghost Of the happy
days when the place was brilnming
with laughter and good cheer.
''He was not liked by the villagers on
account of his silent and arrogant man
ner; he was unlike any miller who
had ever been known. When the in
habitants came with their grists he
received them with the grand air of a
seigneur of the old days who, amid his
courtly encourage, received the fefs of
his dependents. It's like that always
grumbled the crones; poor parents
fill their children's minds with foolish
notions of greatness! Poor old Cesaire
himself-rest to his bones-was not
like this peacock. Cesaire knew his
place bon vieux! A miller is miller
if his head be crammed with Latin or
-four dust!'
Everyone pitied Zephrin, of course,
on account of his great bereavement
and the business of the mill suffered no
serious retrogression in consequence of
Ills ulul uC1uCduOI. Ills cACluSltC-
ness, this hauteur, however, was taken
lightly by the young folks of the village
and often of summers evening, like
this one for instance, they passed by the
