CARRIERS
WHITE
LEAD
IS STRICTLY Pure.

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur
face, and do it better, than any brand of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
it's superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods to be
tested and then comparing results
which will IN every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a key of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A key Of Carter White Lead is
All Paint.
The new plant recently put in opera
ton in Chicago is the largest in the
Chicago and Omaha factories places the
Carter Company in position to fill all
orders promptly.
There is more Carter White Lead
sold than any other brand manu-
featured in the United States.

Will Probably be Named
TO-niUht,

The appointment of a presiding elder
for Salisbury district Of the Wilmington
NJ. T.. Conference to succeed Rev. W. f.
Avery, D. d., will probably be made to-
night.
a meeting of the missionary committee
Of the whole Methodist Episcopal Church
is now being held in Philadelphia and
attending the sessions OF this committee
is Bishop John P. Newman, who
will preside over the Wilmington Con-
ference to be held at Lewes next March,
and who, consequently, has the power of
naming the successor to DR.. Avery.
The committee will have to dispose Of
over q million dollars in different mis-
sionary fields, and it requires time to do
it. Therefore, Bishop Newman stated
last evening that he positively would not
appoint presiding elder for Salisbury
District until the work Of the committee
was completed and that will probably be
tonight.
DR.. T. L. Martindalc of Milford is,
perhaps, the favorite contestant in tie

master at Smyrna could be broken.
Ten applicants for the office are in the

ular Republicans and Democrats, and the
fight is the hottest in the history Of the
office. Mr.Ptts' suggestion toC"I. DUPONT
was that Il meeting Of the Republicans be
called and Il person selected who will
thereby be the choice Of the people. Mr..
Du Pont agreed with Potts that the plan
presented would facilitate matters very
much. but he would not promise Potts
that it would be adhered to and the lat

ATTEMPT TO STOP RACING.
John T. Dickey to Get an Injunc-
ton.


There is every prospect that an injunc-
ton will be taken out against the
ChareStown Racing Association at Elk
ton. Md, to prevent them from opening
on Thursday.
This is the result Of the fight between
the stockholders OF the old Keystone
Association. The grounds for getting out
this Injunction are not yet known any
more than it is understood on very good
authority that one Of the former officials
is irving to seek revenge in this way for
having been turned down.
This injunction has been applied for
by John 7. pickcy or will be applied for
BY him.
1t is understood that he merely lvpres-
cntS til, real leader. On exact y what
grounds this injunction is to be asked
for no one seems to know.
The Clarlr~tuwn Racing Association
is owned by Richard Murchon and him
alone. No one else has any interest in
the organization what -so-cvcr and it is
not likely that it will amount to any
thing.

DREADED BACILLI IN MILK.
New Means of Detecting the Presence
of Tuberculosis.


A Russian has formulated new pro-
cess for the detection Of the bacili Of
tuberculosis in milk, which is founded
on the fact that tubercule bacilli will be
preciptatcd by rapid centrifugal motion
He uses modified lactocrit, which
makes 5000 revolutions per minute. The
milk is coagulatcd by means Of dilute
ctric acid, the whey is separated by
filtration, and the caSein is dissolved
by Il phosphate OF soda solution. To
this are added six cubic cnntmetcrs of
sulphuric ether, mixed with water, in
order that the emulsiied fat corpuscles
may be set free. The action of the ether
is hastened by shaking the mixture in
glass cylinder for Is minutes. The solu-
ton is allowed to stand, and, after the
fat has been separated, the remainder
of the liquid is allowed to run out. Di-
lutte acetic acid is added to this until the
first sign of coagulation appears. 1t is
then transferred to the lactocrit. and
the machine set in motion for Is minutes,
when the vast majority of the bacilli
sink to the bottom. This deposit is then
conveyed to two slides, stained, and ex-
amined with an oil immersion. If
bacilli are present in the milk they will
be found in this precipitate. The author
considers this method more certain than
the incubation OF animals with the sus-
1Acted milk.

BICYCLE CLUBS RECEPTION
Wilmington's Organization Cele-
brates Its Third Anniversary.
IT WAS A JOVIAL REUNION.
The New Club House Was the Scene
of a Joyous Gathering Last
Night---Only Members
Present.

The beautiful new home OF the VIII
mington Bicycle Club at Tenth and Tat
nall streets, was the scene Of gay festiv-
ity last night. The gathering had two
fold object-that Of christening the new
home and of celebrating the third ami
versary OF the clubs existence.
The affair was given by the members
and for the members only, and they
turned out in force, one hundred and
twenty-five being present. The house
had that air of good-naturpd informality
that is characteristic of the cyclist, and
the rooms echoed the hearty laughter Of
the merry whcelmen until long past
midnight.
This organization is the most flourish
ing of it's kind below Philadelphia, and
is growing all the time. The remarks of
the president during the course of the
evening showed the club to be in good
standing financially and otherwise.
The committee on entertainment had
prepared an unusually interesting pro-
gramme, and it was thoroughly appreci-
ated by all present. Howard Truman
rendered an instrumental solo in his usual
delightful manner. Mr. Finnigan sang
tenor solo, and the audience listened with
evident pleasure at the comic songs of
Harry Klund. At this point, w. W.
Rice, president of the club, addressed
the gathering concerning the history Of
the club. Willard S. Mcars added one
of his pleasing solos to the evenings en-
tertainment, and A. o. H. Grier spoke
for short time. a solo by Vance
Thomas and several recitations by
Charles B. Palmer were much enjoyed.
The dining-room committee had pre-
pared a fine supper, and, after partaking
of it, the members took their pipes and
tobacco and enjoyed good smoke tor
the remaining part OF the evening.

lated Cable Dispatches.

New York, Nov. 15.-Whcn young

gave Hamilton Il severe lecture, and then
discharged him.
Hamilton was arrested on Saturday,
and charged with the theft Of Mr.. Full

discovery that the office boys of the firm
had been in the habit for Il long time OF

and afterwards abbreviating the des-
patches and keeping the extra money.

POLICE FORCE At AUCTION.

Guardian of the Police to be Sold to
the Highest Bidder.
Special to The Sun.
GEORGETOWN, Nov. l5.-Therc is vast
but concealed sense of anxiety and eX-
pectation in Sussex county concerning a
certain uniformed police force. There is
but one uniformed police force in Della
ware south of Duck Creek, and George
town has him. Georgetown has been
putting on a good deal o pride over that
uniformed police force.
Lnwcs has been moved to jealousy at
tile sight of that force, and 50 has Nil
ford, and Scaford, and Laurel gazad
longingly toward it. Lwcs, however,
has made Il practical move toward Sc
curing that police force for itself, uni
form and all. 1t has offered him an III
crease of salary.
But IL police force is not an affair to be
thus lightly transferred from place to
place. 1t requires diplomacy and moral
s,,asion to acquire the fee simple interest
in police force, and Georgetown, now
having the first call on the said force,
will not part with him except after a
fight.
Lewes' increase of salary has not yet
been accepted, and perhaps it may not
be. Indeed, the competition between
these towns for the possession OF this
force is gradually reaching an acute stage
where something must be done.
Various solutions OF the difficulty have
been suggested, but the happiest thought
of all is that Of Il well-known resident OF
Georgetown, who, foreseeing plainly that
no amicable adjustment Of the difficulty
is possible, proposes that the uniformed
police force be put up at auction and sold
to the highest bidder. This will allay
the feeling of jealousy between the towns,
for the one who wants him hardest will
bid the highest and the rest will not
have any kick coming.

A WORKMAN HORRIBLY HURT
John Kane Dreadfully Injured at

The Old Ferry mill Of the Diamond
State Iron CompanysWas the scene OF Il
terrible accident yestS at l,3o O'Clock
in the afternoon. John Kane, co lorcd,
was caught in the machinery and p-
ceived injuries that will probably prove
fatal. 1t was just half-past | O'Clock
when Kane took his oil can and began
oiIing the machinery. In some un-
accountable way the mans coat became
entanglcd in some of the wheels, and in
stantly, without time to uttera shrek,
he was whrled violently around the
shaft.
No one witnessed the accident, but the
groans of the suffering man attracted the
attention of several ellov-workmen and
the alarm was given to stop the machine
cry. With some trouble the injured man
was extricated from the machinery, and
ar soon as the ambulance could be Sc
cured he was sent 10 the Delaware Hos
pitsl.
Kanes injuries are OF an indiscribably
horrible nature. His legs are frsc.ured,
ribs broken, and other injuries even
more serious were sustained. At the
time OF going to press his death is NOM
entarily expected.
Kane lives on Peoples street and is
considered one of the best workmen in
the employ of the Diamond State Com
pany.
His injuries were dressed by DR.. How

A MISSING BOY.
Fiftcen-Year-Old Clinton Harris Has
Gone West to Grow Up.

Clinton Harris, a tifteen-year-old
brother OF DR.. William E. Harris, of this
city, is among the missing. He left his
home i'll Lynchburg, Va, on October ~,
and his whereabouts are unknown. His
father, F. C. Harris, is a carriage manu-
facturer and the boy had home such as
most boys would have hestated before
leaving. For some days after his depart
ure nothing was thought of it, as he often
went away for days at time, but always
came back. When week had passed
and nothing had been heard Of him his
mother became anxious, and inquiries
were begun by his father, who was conf
dent that the boy was all right and
would return when his money gave out.
The boy had plenty OF cash and was
something Of a mascot in his betting, for
which he had passion.
Last week his father received letter
from the mayor of Cincinnati, who is a
friend OF Mr.. Harris, that the boy had
been seen in that city on the Goth of
October, Lut that he had left presumably
for Louisville, KY, where he had a
friend. Inquiry at Louisville, however,
failed to locate the boy, and his mother
is almost frantic with apprehension. She
fears that he is dead, but his father is
confident that the boy has been able to
take care of himself, as he had quite a
little money when he left Lynchburg,
and when heard of in Cincinnati ar
peared to be in pretty good financial
condition. Young Harris had liking
for cock fighting, which amounted almost
to mania, and as he wasi an un-
usually good judge Of birds he
was usually lucky, sometimes winning
heavily. DR.. Harris received letter
from his family last week requesting him
to watch out for his brother as he was
just as likely to turn up here as any
where, but up to the present time there
has been neither boy nor tidings of him.
No possible reason is known to exist for
his escapade save the love of adventure
which has always been one of his most
marked characteristics.

TRIED 70 BREAK JAIL.
A Rope Ladder Found Dangling
Over the Wall.
DESPERATE MEN ON WATCH
A Clever lad Sounds the Alarm in
Time to Stop the Proposed
Delivery.

New CASTLE, Del, Nov. l5.-Thc az
cicut and honorable structure known as
fine New Castle Jail was the scene Of Il
daring attempt at Jail delivery last night.
William McGrann, alias "Bucky' Nc
,,iunis, and John Carr, two characters
who have probably been arrested more
times than any other men in Delaware
and to whom the topography OF the in
terror of the Jail is as familiar us their
mothers face, are held responsible for
the attempt. Bucky and his pal were
released Yesterday morning after serving
ten days for imbibing too freely OF coast
whiskey otherwise known as "bug kill
cr." They were seen hanging around
the jail all day after their release which
is a most unusual thing for this precious
pair as from long habit they make bee
line for the Coast to celebrate their
liberty. During the day two Of Bucky's
prison pals were noticed to be acting in
a strange manner, and as result strict
watch was kept on them and incidently
all the usual places for attempts were
investigated. Nothing was found, how
e,er, to warrant suspicion of an es
cape being attempted.
Shortly before 8 O'Clock small boy
rushed head-long into the sheriff's vesti-
bule and hammered Justify varying the
performance by ringing the bell as il the
town had been on fire.
Deputy Warden OConnor went to see
what was the matter, and was astonlshed
to hear the excited boy exclaim, "Hurry
up, the prisoners are climbing over the
wall"
Quickly running around to the wall he
arrived just in time to see two men dis
appear at a run down the dark street.
Hanging from the wall was thick
rope. which was caught over the
ton of the wall by Il large hook. 1t was
evidently intended to make &" Jail deliv-
cry by way OF the hoie which WAS c"V
two weeks ago by two ro'orcd men who
were in for larceny. Meanwhile Warden
Hance and Sheriff Finn who had been
aroused made hasty examination OF
the cells but found all OF the occupants
still in their places
There is no doubt that it was the lr-
tention OF "Bucky' and his partner t"
res ,,e his two friends and to leave the
way open for such others as could make
use of it.
The small boy, however, was left out
of the calculation, and the promptn'ss OF
Sheriff Finn and his warlcdS proved a
factor in the game that was too m'lch Tor
the would-be Jail breakers.
