An important Charge.

Y Rev. Albert f. Keigwin arrived in our
ycity last evening from his visit to Pittsburg
On Sunday he preached two sermons in
the Second Presbyterian Church in that
pity to large congregations and the NOM
beers were SO greatly pleased that an infor-
slnal call was extended to him ut the close
bf the services to become their pastor at
Nc close OF the term of Rev, Frank De-
Witt Talmage, who will GO to Chicago in
About, three weeks, in accordance with
call 10 an Important church in tho second
great city in our country. The salary Of
the church in Pittsburg is $500 year and
ns Tint ut Millville, N. j., is only $780,
there can be but little doubt that the latter
congregation will have to look for another
pastor. The call to the church in Pitts
burg IL compliment Of which any one
may well feel elated and should not be de-
blined In another column will be found
Al account from the Pittsburg Gazette,
which is well worth reading by his many
friends III our city.
The Republicans ana citizens In general
ore loud In their protests against the out
fageous proceeding of Collector Parlett
A plaoing.a. Marylander in the place Of
Stamp Collector Robinson. We for one
would rathor soc Delaware Democrat
bold the office than a Maryland Republic
Dan. Collector Purlett would not like to
have Delaware Republican take the
place of Marylander In that State There
Is no reason why the Federal authorities
should treat the Delaware Republicans as
they arc doing, which course is calculated
20 make our Republicans lukewarm and
Take little or no interest in the election.
The Republican party in our State wants
MI the encouragement it can got and not
the filling of the offices by carpet baggers
from other States. Such treatment at tho
hands Of tho President is entirely uncalled
for and will not tend to hea. the breach in
the party In our State What's the use of
having Republican President if the
Democrats now holding Office are allowed
TO hold on to their positions under Re.
publican administration.

DOES anybody mean to tell us that if
Democrat had been elected in place of
President Mckinley, that Marylal d
Democrat would have been selected to take
thc place of n Delawarcanf Such an ap.
'pointlnent has not been made for years as
the last one made by Collector Pnrlott,
which has given so much offenso to Il o
rank and file OF the voters of the Rcpubli.
can party Of Delaware For Gods sake,
help build up tho Republican party in our
State and don't help to tear 1t down. The
policy Of going outside Of our Stae r
men to Ill the offices is suicidal, as cy v

have entered more than ono kick at the
manner in which the Federal offices are
being filled. This will not help the har-
nony plan.

Our growing popularity
and the consequent great
increase in the volume of
business during the past
year made necessary an
enlarging of our facilities,
to enable us to give
prompt and satisfactory
attention to our patrons.
To meet this necessity we
found it would be neces-
sary to devote our whole
building to display pur-
poses and secure another
building for carrying the
duplicate stock necessary
to a large business. This
we have done and take
great pride in inviting the
public to inspect the inn
provements that have
been made and note the
development that has pro-
duced in Wilmington a
business house fully up to
the standard of the large
Metropolitan stores, both
in quality and quantity of
stock and in comfort and
convenience of arrange
ment.

MUD DIET or LONDON.
A Scientific Person Publishes some
Astounding Statistics.

Astounding Statistics.
There is nothing like dealing with
large figures and no doubt the state.
ment by scientific person that London
ers drink in the course of a year 1000
tons. of mud will appear to many to
disclose a terrible and most dangerous
state of things, says the London Stand
ard. Nothing could be further from
the truth A thousand tons of mud
would mean, perhaps. about half a
pound of mud to each person. 1t will
be certainly not too much to assume
that each half pound of mud does not
contain more than two ounces of solid
matter, probably much less. Now it is
certain that in the course of three OF
four windy days in March each person
in the air all day will draw in fully an
ounce of dust, as much as he will swal-
low in water during six months. A
railway traveller who takes few hours
journey in dry weather has but to look
at the state of his coat and of the car
rage seat to form An idea of the amount
of dust that must have entered his
mouth, the majority of which on touch
ing the palate and tongue is converted
into mud and swallowed. Thus, then.
it will be seen at once how many in
fnitesimally small and how absolutely
innocuous is the daily portion of this
1000 tons of mud swallowed by Lon
doners and how little cause there is for
alarm in the array of figures piled up
by the scientific Investigator, who may
brighten weak-minded people but does
not in the slightest degree affect the
ordinary man or excite in him any
feeling whatever save indifference.

In the whole world. A four-lnch plate
representing some of the side armor
of the battle ship Kearsarge, that was
we'll up on the bows, was fired at with
a five-inch gun. Not long ago a shot
was calculated as able completely to
penetrate an armor plate of one and
one-balf times as thick as its caliber.
In other words, five-inch shot would
penetrate plate seven and one-half
inches thick.
This four-inch plate, however, not
only kept the shot out, but it smashed
it up, and the only mark left on the
plate was slight dishing in the center,
not more than half an inch deep. This
passed the plate. Then another shot
was taken at it to ascertain the power
required to perforate the plate. This
was accomplished only by giving the
shot the high velocity of 1885 feet per
second and even then the plate was not
cracked.

To Transmit Electricity Over Seven
ty-Five Miles.
A corporation to be known as the
Southern California Power company
has been organized with capital stock
of $1,000,000. The principal stocl1hold-
ers are Henry Fisher, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, and II. II. Sinclair, president and
manager of the Redlands Electric Light
& Power company. The purpose of the
company is to develop power from the
Santa Ana river by taking water at the
Junction of Bear creek and Santa Ana
river and carrying it in a cement ditch
and tunnels about four miles, thus Sc
curing fall of 1000 to 400 feet. The
power will be transmitted by pole line
rs miles long to Los Angeles. 1t will be
the longest line and the highest voltage
100000 volts) in use in the world. The
line will run through San Bernardino,
Pomona, Ontario and Pasadena, and will
be able to supply all power needed in
these towns. 1t is proposed to deliver
power into Los Angeles by January 1,
1898.

Some men will fly from snake as

whose nerve centers are under better
control, will handle the cold, crawling
reptiles with as much Indifference as
they exercise in manipulating ham
sandwich. Gus Behmer, OF Indianap-
oils, is one of the latter class. He is a
machinist, and when he came to work
the other night he was observed to take
unusual care with his shirt collar.
Later on he was seen to have about his
neck, under his shirt collar, tie of a
peculiar form of color, but when that tie
began to slowly move it was seen that
Behmer's neck was encircled by bright
vigorous and healthy garter snake.
Later on Behmer stood behind the
counter in the business Office, with the

the passenger coach. Perhaps this may
have been due partially to the fact
that the kitten was dressed "like folks"
in clothes. The cat was as handsomely
attired as farorite doll and infinitely
more amusing. Her little dress did
not seem novelty to her and the little
waist with bishop sleeves and lace at
the ankles, or more properly wrists, was
dainty, while "a handsome lace baby cap
completed the most fetching toilet.
The little girl apologized for the state
of kittie's clothing, as she said she
had but one change out Of her trunk.
But kittie had spent the most of her
journey on her mistress lap or on
the velvet car seat and was not in the
least bedraggled. The little girl said
she did not care for dolls, because they
weren't alive, and l1ittie could play
with her; besides, ldttie did not OBJ
ject TO being dressed and undressed,
so she had all the pleasure of playing
doll with live dollie.
