Kent county, a. the Dover Index says that
Clerk OF the Pssss, VIM. u. Dickson,
threshed l2,ooo bushels Of wheat last
Thursday which he raised on his own
farm. Az II averaged 50 bushels TO the
acre, 400 acres were required and the ma
chine must have threshed 1000 bushels per
hour, for IL consecutive hours. Messrs.
Hollingsworth, Derickson. Peoples and
other operators Of threshers in this county
would doubtless like to know how SO much
work could have been accomplished In
such short period of time. The Index
further says: John Cleaver threshed $4,000
bushels in one day. The above stories, to
many persons, seems so fabulous that q
verification or an explanation is certainly
required.

Women Prisoners Excused.

Kansas City, Kan, July 16. - The
orders of the police commissioners of
this city that women prisoners must
work on the stone pile along with the
men has caused great commotior,
and has not yet been put into effect.
Perhaps it may never be. Members Of
the Current Event club, an organiZa-
ton of women, threaten that enforce
ment of the order means the retirement
Of the police commissioners from Of
fee at the first opportunity, and as
women vote in Kansas municipal cleo
tons the threat may have the desired
effect The women prisoners were to
wear overalls.

The tuneful song sung by a young man
IN our city, "All Coons Look Alike to Me-"
nearly caused fracas last evening. This
song has probably been sung more than
any other popular melody this year on the
stage and whistled by the boys on the
street. Some persons are thin ski nned
and take everything to heart. What's the

"The Grand Duchosso'' was presented
last night ut Union Park before AN audi
ence which clearly demonstrated that tho
Lyric Opera Company is growing popular
with the music lovers Of Wilmington The
opera was finally staged and tho c stumes
were unusually brilliant. The Grand
Dutchesse of Miss Mnudc Williams gave
full scope to that young lady's vocal
ability, but she appealed uncertain in
some of the dramatic situations, Joseph
Roberts as General Bonn was good, as ,s
usual, and Harry Carter rs Baron Puck,
upheld the tutor Of the Duchesse In fine
shape Mr., Mifilin made quite hit with his
whiskers and made the young Americans
roar with delight Miss Howard was a
clever little Wanda, md did her part
nicely Arthur seaton did no. have role
in which to show his rich baritone voice
nevertheless he was perfectly at ease. Mr..
Rowan as Prince Paul was good. John
Ravens rs Fritz WAS also good and show
cd clearly true Interpretation OF a DIFF
foult role, His battle song was well done

Cucumbers For Pickles

Cucumbers for pickles may follow
crop of early peas. 1t is best to delay
planting until the peas are harvested
Then pillow and plant by 5 feet with
rotted manure in the hill. There is a
right way to plant the seed that all do
not know, SO The Farm Journal tells
about it, Make the hills low, scrape off
the surface soil until you reach moist
earth, deposit the seed, press it down
firmly with the foot and cover with
about an inch of moist earth and press
this gently with the hoe. Good seed so
planted will terminate quickly.

FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1897.
Still No Finance Committee.

The deadlock In City Council still re-
mains unbroken as Mr.. O'Neill, who has
the key to the situation still refuses to
obey the custom Of following the nomi-
nations made in caucus. He insists on
being made chairman Of the Law Commit.
~ for which position Mr.. Leary was de.
lNided upon at the meeting held by the
democrats, and Mr., O'Nein chairman Of
the Public Building Committee The
failure to name the different standing
committees in City Council Is greatly
hinderiEg the business Of the city. The
Republican members, who ore in the NIL
nority are not responsible for such state
Of things. Tho fight Is among the Demo-
Gratis and to them alone is all the blame to
be attached The appointing Of the COM
mittees, should be in the hands Of the
President Of City Council and then all this
unnecessary balloting for chairman Of the
Finance Committee which has thus far
blocked all business in this body would at
once put stop to the meeting and ad-
)ourning Of Council without transacting
Democrats were getting together and ad-
lusting their differences and allowing the
business Of the city to be transacted.
The time has come when the different
,aairmen should be agreed upon, and If
:, zach member OF the majority party can't
get what he wants, then he should do the
next best thing, take what is given him by
his fellow members. We may expect to
lee just such wrangle as is now taking
place when the several city offices are filled
by Council. Mr.. ONelll will insist that
The First ward shall not be overlooked by
Council when the good things are given
out and will insist ON his rights when tho
s.ection for officers takes place.
Property Qualifications.
We have been told thae certain men
Elected to office, and who were not owners
d real estate, had been given deed on
The cellar Of u friends house. SO that they
could be properly qualified to hold the po-
,ition to which they had been elected,
which required real estate qualification.
Another instance was cited, where one Of
fhe present members of City Council was
10 unfortunate us not to own any realty,
but who, when elected to Council, present
I'd his deed for property, which upon be.
ing looked into was found had never been
recorded or assessed to the member and
After being sworn in us u member of
Council, the deed was destroyed. The
question would then be pertinent, is that
member qualified to remain a member of
that bodyP He apparently was qualified
10 become a member Of Council, when his
credentials were examined by the proper
authorities at the time of being sworn in
rs member. After being sworn in, he
had no right to dispose of his real estate,
and when he had done so he had no legal
right to sit in City Council. But such
bases have happened numerous times with
members who have sat in that body Even
iunnier things than this have been done
by our Democratic friends to mako men
eligible for office who were not properly
qualified.

On page No. 1l6 of the city ordinance
we find in section fourth the following;
"That the City Council shall at its first
stated meeting after the city election in
every year, appoint Finance Committee
composed of three members, who. in adj
dition to their other duties shall perform
tho duties hereinafter provided" A note
appears Mt the foot Of the page as follows
'This paragraph, part of an Act of the
General Assembly, pass d February Goth,
1857, III Del. Laws, chap. 1916, Sec. I, page
400 is the only direct legislation author
izing the appointment of Il Finance Com
mittee and appears not to have been re-.
pealed.' 1t is now contcndcd that this
committee cannot be appointed by COuu-
CHI as the time has expired when such
committee should have been named. If
this Interpretation Of the law Is correct,
then all business pertaining to the Finance
Committee will, thj, year, have to be
transacted in open council. This /, the
only commlttc, the General Assembly has
especially provided for, that shall be elect
Ud on the first stated meeting of City
Council and the failure to elect tho same
now makes it impossible for that body to
elect such a COMMITTEES lawfully. The
Democratic membcrs of COuucI are the
ones to take the oiium for the failure to
Fleet, as required hy order Of the General
Assembly.

He Knew an Honest Man.

ne HueW an aOn0BC MAN,
This is one on District Attorney Back
us Of Kings county. He tells it himself.
II went to Poughkeepsie once with an
other lawyer and detective in plain
clothes, who was escortihg a prisoner
who was to be resentenced there. The
prisoner was shackled to the detective
They sat in the seat ahead of that occu.
pied by the other lawyer and myself.
"The train stopped IL minutes at
Poughkepesie for lunch, and in order
not to expose the manacled prisoner to a
curious crowd suggested that we sit
in the car fer few minutes after the
train was stopped, allow the passengers
to alight and go to the lunchroom and
then go quietly to carriage, which
awaited us. The others agreed, and we
sat still.
IA nervous passenger who had rid
den in the same car with us from New
York and who did not know that one of
us was a condemned criminal, wished
to get out fer lunch and thought it ad-
visable to ask some one to keep an eye
on his hand baggage in his absence.
He hesitated until he saw only four
OF us left. Then he approached and
looked keenly at each of us in turn.
After a close scrutiny of our counte-
nances he leaned over, tapped the pris-
oner on the shoulder and said:
F" Will you be good enough, sir, to
keep an eye en- my baggage while I get
q bite to eat?' New York Herald.

ANYHOW side the window,
and presently. when the song was fin
ished, he saw his master approach the
cage and reward the bird with q lump
Of sugar.
"Ah," said the donkey, full Of jeal-
ousy, IT see now why my master thinks
30 little of me. 1t is because do not
wear pretty yellow coat and sing to
him, like the canary"
So saying, he ran straightway to his
masters barn. knocked over bucket Of
yellow paint and rolled in it until his
hide was colored a beautiful brindle,
then, Fastening back to the window, he
stuck his head inside and began to bray
in his sweetest tone.
Then his master rose from his chair;
but, instead of calling the donkey pet
names and inviting him to dine on the
contents Of the sugar bowl, he brought
club and smote him. saying:
"Confound donkey, anyhow That
bray was enough to raise the roof, and
Just look at the paint the ass has wasted
on himself. Wonder what the critter
will be up to next?"
And the very next day the man sold
the donkey to an itirerant merchant
who CHANGED to be passing.
