THERE should be more of desire for
the coming advanced woman to be a thor
ough housekeeper and cook, than for them
to SO ape the mannerisms of men, that
they are already beginning to take on a
masculine look. A womanly woman is
the noblest work of the Creator A union
in marriage with a woman who is in
sympathy with her husband in all his
business ventures, makes heaven indeed
upon this earth where trouble and turmoil
appear to be vastly in the majority in our
lives. Try to teach the girls how to
cook and keep house as we'll as play the
piano. Good wives make good husbands.
1T is said on excellent authority that
the main reason that Thomas +. Bayard
Jr., left our city to take up his residence
in New York, was owing to the part he
took in the late election. having been the
sound money Democratic candidate for
Congress. His opposition to Handy SO
incensed the Delaware Democrats that
they swore vengeance forever on the young
er Bayard 1t was his political grave and
he thus reared up his tombstone. Here
lie all Thomas Jr's political hopes, bur
led forever in Delaware politics, He was
wise to leave when he did.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Old Sacramento Case Settled bv
the Supreme Court.

The supreme Court yesterday filed in
the Sacramento Office, with Deputy
Clerk McCraney. an opinion affirming
the decision of Judge Matt. F. John
son of this county in the case Of Cath
crime McGrath (appellanO against
Mary A. Wallace CrespondenO, involv-
ing the title to lot 1, in the block be-
tween L and NJ Fourth and Fifth
streets, liz this city. The action had
been pending since 1888, and this was
the second appeal to the Supreme
Court.
The plaintiff relied upon two chains
Of title to the lot, derived through
sales of the property for taxes. which
sales We're originally void for non-com-
pliance by the Sheriff with the law APP
plicabl to tax sales The plaintiff af-
terward attempted to cure the errors
by having the Sheriff file amended re-
turns of sale showing compliance with
the statute. These returns were
made and filed some fourteen years af-
ter the sales, and without notice to the
defendant who was the owner.
The Supreme Court holds that this
cannot be done. and therefore the de-
cision of the lower court confirming the
title Of the defendant is upheld Gin
ton l.. White appeared as counsel for
appellant and Frank D. Ryan and
James b. Devine for the respondent.

FARMER NEARLY MURDERED.
Beaten by Thief Encountered on Ills
Premises.
Henry BidweIl's Exciting Experience
With an Intruder Near
Perkins.

The residents of the vicinity or Per
kins were startled from their slumbers
about o'clock yesterday morning by
, two shotgun reports fired in quick sue
cession
The gun shots were fired by Henry u.
Eidwell, proprietor Of a fine poultry
breeding ranch, in an effort to frighten
& chicken thief into surrendering, but
instead the chicken thief turned upon
him and beat him brutally, using the
gun as a weapon therefor
1t seems that Bidwel has suffered
considerably at the hands of chicken
thieves and had put in a very COM
plete burglar alarm system. The wires
are connected with all the doors to
his chicken yard and are carried into
the house through pipes laid in the
ground. The opening of any door on the
premises at night causes the alarm IN
his bedroom to ring and awaken MN.
About the hour named yesterday
morning Bidwell was aroused by the
furious ringing of his alarm. He grab
bed his double barreled shotgun and
FASTENED out into the chicken yard,
where he was confronted by an intrud-
err Bidwell called on the fellow to
throw up his hands, but instead the
man turned to run. Hoping to intirni-
date him into surrendering, Bidwell
discharged one barrel of the gun in the
air. but the man did not stop. Then
Bidwell discharged the other, but with
out trying to shoot the fugitive, whom
he hoped to capture alive.
When the gun had been emptied the
fellow stopped and returned to where
Bidwell stood awaiting him, but in
stead of surrendering he grappled with
Bidwell.
In the struggle that followed the thief
got possession of the gun, and then he
beat Bidwell on the head with it until
he broke the stock from the barrels
and his victim had been knocked in
sensible. The brute then ran away,
taking the gunbarrels and Bidwell's
hat with him.
The shooting and the noise of the me-
lee brought others from the house, and
Bidwell was taken in and his injuries
attended to as well as possible until a
doctor could be summoned.
Deputy Sheriff Hunters, who resides
at Perkins, was notified early in the
morning of the assault on Bidwell, and
seach of the assailant, but owing to
Bidwells condition he was unable to
get anything like an accurate descrip-
ton of the would-be murderer
Hunters, however, found two men who
could not give satisfactory accounts of
themselves. and he arrested them both
and took them to Bidwells place for
H. ratification. Neither of the men had
the remains of the gun in his posses
sion.
II was late in the day before Bidwell
was able TO be confronted with the sus-
poets At first he was in doubt as to one
of the prisoners. but later on he be-
came satisfied that neither of them was
his assailant, and they were released.
At last accounts last night Hunters
had not been able to find anyone that
answered the partial description given
by Bidwell of his assailant

Quite a large crowd gathered at
Pythian Castle last evening to witness
the entertainment given for the bene

tions, that on the right being occupied
by halfdoZen young ladies who rep

they were SO elated over their success

But this time the multitude of fair

in vain, and though the Real Estate

good, strong game, and were on even
terms with their opponents after more
than half the game had been played,
they could not hold out against the
