nAR AND PEoPLE IGNoREp.


The retirement OF Judge Marvel has
subjected Governor Tunnel to much
well-deserved criticism in all parts Of
the state, and particularly in New Cas-
tie county, where the associate from
Sussex county will sit most Of the time.
This criticism Is in nowise aimed at
Judge Boyce, for It is but natural that
he should avail himself of such dis
tinction if offered But in retiring Judge
Marvel the governor ignored the ex-
pressed wish OF fully nine-tenths OF the
mem bers of the bar, who recognized his
peculiar fitness for the discharge Of ju-
dicial duties, and II the peaple OF the
state could have been polled fully nine
tenths OF them would have declared in
favor of retaining Judge Marvel on the
bench. There are several reasons why
the Judge should have been retained
In THE first place, he was fully capable
of filling it, and the appointment Of
Judge Boyce did not make the bench
amy stronger than it would have been
with Judge Marvel on it. In the second
place, 1t was the wish Of the bar and
the people. In the third place all of the
old judges were retained with the ex-
ception of Judge Cullen, who had cause
to retire, and as nothing could be urged
against Judge Marvel he should not
have been made to suffer the indignity
OF enforced retirement merely to afford
the governor the opportunity to honor
a personal friend. Further than that,
it was decidedly wrong for the COVER
nor to permit his friendly feeling for
his secretary of state to entail upon the
people an expense of $500, all other
things being equal, as they were
In this instance, with the weight OF fit
ness on the side of Judge Marvel, who
had been tried and found to be fully
capable of giving the state efficient SER
vice.
1t is said that Judge Marvel will prac-
tice law in this city in preference to go
ing back TO Sussex county, his old
home. We hope this is true. The peo-
pie OF New Castle county will welcome
such an addition to the bar, and the
field win be less circumscrlbed for a
lawyer of such high attainments.

Fer a long time Olivet Presbyterian
Church, this city has, by reason of the
feuds which have reigned therein, been
a reproach upon the city and the Pres
bytery. There is no good reason why
this church should not be abreast of the
other churches in the work of minis
tering to the spiritual needs of sinful
man, but there are several bad ones. A
bull headed majority and pig-headed
minority have caused all the trouble,
and until they agree to meet upon
some common plane and settle their
differences like men and women
should, or in default of this, until the
whole outfit is expelled and the church
placed In new hands, the trouble must
continue. The majority in the congre-
CATION must not forget that there are
certain rights which the minority pos
sesses and which it should be accord
ed but, at the same time, the minority
must remember that the majority mus

The swellest sailor hat this season, in
white or colors, has brilliant plaid or
striped silk band.
If woman wishes to be the height
of Partisan fashion she must tilt her
hat over her nose, wear twist of tulle
under her chin, put on tightly-ftting
sleeves and innumerable little frills all
over her gown.
The fashionable tint for lace is that
Of ripe corn, more of buff than the but
ter color Of last spring. 1t is exceeding.
ly rich looking.
Princess gowns crop up just as per-
sistently as poke bonnets. 1t is not like
ly that they will take, since so few wom-
en- look well in clothesof such severe cut.
Narrow velvet ribbon is used on every
thing An imported cape of old rose
silk has rows of black velvet ribbon
running down it at intervals of about
an inch. Round the shoulders the silk
Is plated in so thicllly that at the neck
nothing is visible except the ribbon.
Silk is so cheap that it is almost
glut in the London market. The newest
patterns are early Victorian in design
and color Small and large checks. con-
ventional fora, and geometric figures
denote a return of old modes.
Cashmere is coming into vogue again.
Dealers say that its return is being
greeted with enthusiasm. There never
was a more manageable or graceful ma-
terial.
A novelty in the belt line is made of
bright-colored plaid ribbon of a heavy
weave, and is fastened with plaid
enamel buckle which matches perfectly.
A hat which is altogether comforta-
bic and suitable for cycling is hard to
find. Not every woman looks well in
the ordinary white sailor, which is the
ideal to wear awheel in spring and sum-
mer. Now small plain toques of very
light straw have been brought out.
They are trimmed with twists of can
vas ard punches of quills. The newest
Alpine cycling hat is far prettler in
shape and more becoming than former
ly. The brim flares at the side and the
crown is broad and low, being only
slightly dented. A bunch of quilts re-
lieves the plainness.-N. Y. Sun.

it has been confined to the counties of
