THURSDAY. MAY 10, 1897.


1t may be asked how much 1t cost Mrs.
Acklan, through her attorney, Horace G.
Knowles, to get her divorce case recon
sidered by the members Of the House? Ii
Is, to say the least, q very strange proceed
Ing and surely needs Investigation by
committee that will not whitewash the
evidence, or try and sec how little of it
they can have produced before them. We
have no objection to Mrs. Acklan procur-
Ing divorce II she gets it where sho has
her residence, but we do object to her or
any one else coming 10 our State and using
our Legislature or Courts in procuring the
same. They say she has good reasons for
asking for divorce from her husband, to
whom she was married less than three
years ago, but all the reason in tho world
should not permit her to procure that
separation in Delaware. Tho way tho
Legislature has acted in this case looks as
II somebody had been 'seen" and grossly
lnsulted as In Mikado. The change Of
front from laying the bill ON tho table by
unanimous vote of tho House. and theu
thlcS uulS hlsSENdrus W CdlJ ~ up hBulu
AMI move to reconsider it by vote of 10
to 5 and have the proceedings expunged
from the records, looks suspicious indeed,
AMI make people think money must have
cat prominent part in having the bill
81 us resurrected after 1t was thought TO
have been killed beyond recall at this SEES
sion of the Legislature. We would not
for one minute charge that money had
been used to Influence change of heart
on the part of the 10 members Of the
House, but We say it looks suspicious and
will be so looked upon by the citizens Of
Delaware and elsewhere who have read Of
this remarkable divorce case Mrs. hck-
I'm is rich and so arc her parents. beside
being prominent in society in the city in
Ohio where she resides Delaware is not
her home, only as long as it shall require
her to reside here to get relieved from tho
bonds of matrimony. The charge has
been made that she did not want notoriety
In the city in which she lived, which was
her main reason for coming TO our State
to lay her cause for divorce before the
divorce committee. 1t is said the evidence
would make very spicy reading for the
general public. We expect now to SEQ the
bill pass the House and Mrs. Acklan get
her divorce. But perish the thought that
she had to purchase it with cold, cold cash.

The AckIan Divorce.

DOVER, Del, May 10 Mrs Laura
Crocker Acklan, of Cleveland, Ohio who
is seeking Il legal separation from her
husband, w. IL. ACklan, still has fight
ing chance of getting her divorce bill
through the Delaware Legislature. Tho
House resurrected the measure this after
noon.
MIR. Hazel Speaker pro ten, ruled that
the bill had been finally disposed Of at Il
previous session and that was the end Of
it. If The members desired to appeal
from his decision they might do SO.
This led Mr.. Adams to make an attack
upon Mr. Huzell for what he termed an
arbitrary ruling In reply Mcssrs. Smith
undHOhnson made speeches denOuncing
tho divorce bill. Mr. Dempsey contendod
that the argument was all out OF order, us
the Speaker had givel his ruling He
added that tho only proper course to take
was to appeal from tho decision of the
chair.
Then Mr.. Mccullough took the cue and
made the motion. The SpenkCrs'S decision
was oYcrruled by n vote Of ! to .
Mr. Mccullough moved that the action
by which the bill was indefinitely post
pOned be expunged from the record. His
motion was sustained by II vote Of 10 to 3
Mr.. Mccullough then announced that
another hearing would be given Mrs
Acklan at | o'clock Monday afternoon.
He requested all the members Of the
House to be PRESENT to hear what She had
to say
The grounds upon which Mrs. AckIan
makes application are acknowledged by
all the members OF the committee to be
sufficient for the granting Of IL legislative
dIvArCe in this state, the only cause for
objection being that Mrs. ACklan is NOT a
resident Of Delaware.

Dull Times.

The owners OF the factories at Stanton
are seriously considering the proposition
Of shutting down until there shall be an
improved demand for the style of goods
they manufacture, at improved prices.
The Democrats, who are opposing the en-
actment of the new tariff, are responsible
for this state Of the market, as foreign
goods are being imported in great quanti-
ties at such prices as to defy profitable
competition. The importations in the
month OF April werc SOL, 305. 1884, being
nearly double the amount imported in
January and the present month they prom
ise to be equally large The longer the
passage OF the tariff bill is delayed, tho

Some women are born stronger than

called constitutional weakness" 1t
is easier for some women to retain
health and strength than it is for 9TH

they like, whenever they like, without
serious results. Still there is no reason
why women should not enjoy perfect
health. Those who do not need only

comfort and improved health in the

Facts About Hairpins.

1t was not until 1873 that the manu-
facture of hairpins was begun in the
United States. Previous to that time
those used in the country were brought
from England or France. There are
now several large factories in the
United States that turn out an article
equal, If not superior to the best fin
ished fOreign-made pin. The trade Is
such a large one that it takes no less
than $4,000 packages, each containing
from twelve to twenty pins, to supply
the wholesale demand daily in New
York alone.
The machinery used is of delicate and
intricate character, as the small prices
at which the pins are at present sold
necessitate the most rapid and cheap
est process, which can only be secured
by automatic machines. The wire Is
made expressly for the purpose, and
is put up in large coils, which are
placed on reels. The end of the wire
is put in clamp, which carries it to
machine while strengthening it..
There it is run through a machine
which cuts, binds, and, by delicate
and instantaneous process, sharpens
the pins. These machines will turn
out from 300 to $50 hairpins every
minute. To econonize it is often neces-
sary to keep them working night and
day. The most difficult part Of the
work is the enameling, which is done
by dipping the pin in a preparation
and baking it in an oven. Here is
where the most constant and careful
attention is required, as the pin must
be perfectly smooth and the enamel
have faultless polish. The slightest
particles of dust cause imperfections
and roughness, which is Objectionable
and spOils the pin for the Market

A grading company at work near Val
ley, Neb., recently exhumed nineteen
skeletons. All the bodies were evidently
buried with their clothes on and without
cofins. Five were women. The bodies
had probably been in the ground fifteen
or twenty years, but no resident of the
locality can recall any burying-ground
being located there, nor does rumor relate
anything in the past that will account
for the presence Of the skeletons. The
bodies were covered with only few feet
