A Great RIGHT NOW, be-
Linen Sale cause cause conditions rs
new or old, linens will cost more
before snOW-time comes again
maybe long before. We gathered
very great stocks when days were
darkest, and find ourselves able to
make very interesting prices on
housekeeping linens. The selling
started last week. 1t will continue
until you have taken the lots at
command. Not a cents worth of
goods in this store is ever held for
speculation. Details follow.
The town is talking linens and
buying linens.
Even our recent low prices are
discounted in these new comers-
the final price-drop. as we believe,
that the linen markets will know
tor years. The whole range of
housekeeping linens is included in
this spring movement.
Judge the stock as you would
melon-take plug from any part.
In Towel buying 25c hasn't done
such work. The picking is from
these lots

"Tit for Tat" in Smyrna.

The Sentinel deals at length in its
last issue with the peculiar state of af-
fairs in Smyrna, political Legislation,
the "tit for tat in leaving men off the
assessment list, etc. In regard to the
last the editor takes the liberty to say:
The Democrats of Smyrna are mad.
They are mad all over. For the first
time in life time, probably, of these
angry Democrats they are being given
q dose of their own medicine and know
how it feels to be left off an assessment
list with no probability of getting as
sessed until next election. OF course
they think it an outrage that they
should be deprived of their votes, but
it never occurred to them that it was
an outrage for their political friends
to leave Republicans names off the
assessment list, or that it was an outrage
to strike off the registry list the names
of Republicans who had paid taxes and
were qualified voters. The Clayton
cal boils over IN Indignation. But how
long since has it been that the Editor
of the CdU was boasting Of the inten-
ton of the Democrats to carry Kent
county at all hazards? OF course that
was not said in his paper, but we re-
member hearing him say something of
that sort previous to the late Stat g
election. Then we remember that it
was in Duck Greek Hundred where a
hundred Republicans names we're
stricken from the registry lists three
years ago in order to insure a Demo
cratic victory in Kent county, and we
have never heard of the CalTs having
condemned that. 1t is vastly differ
ent now you know when the Demo-
cratic OK is being gored.

Kent County Court.

Inc April term of Kent County Su.
perlor Court was held in Dover last
week. Samuel Armstronr was chosen
forman Of the grand jury. Sheriff
Samuel L. Shaw, to protect himself
from a technicality, renewed his bond
IN the sum of $4,000. His surities
were w. I. Sharp, William G. Ouillen.
William II. Frank lin, John P. Martin,
Samuel Tharp, Clement A HARRINGTON.
George W. Baker, J. B. Simmons.
James w. Powell and William Shaw.
The sheriff afterwards rendered din
ner to his bondsmen.
The case of James Gibson, Hiram
Think and John McColley, the three
tramps who assaulted Officer Paris and
caused such an exciting time at Har-
rlngton, plead guilty of assault and
were sentenced to pay a fine of 800
and be imprisoned nine months.
TObe Black and John E. Ledman
were convicted of stealing two ducks
of Harry Vineyard. Chief Justice
Lore decided to hire them out for two
years and John Downham took Black
and William Dickson Ledman. If
they become unruly they are to be re-
turned to jail.
Walter Salisbury was convicted of
the charge of resisting a public officer
and was sentenced to one months i'm
prisonment.
William Carney was indicted for re-
sisting public officer. Plead guilty
and was sentenced to two months
Imprisonment. The sentence was
afterwards revoked and prisoner dis
charged.
Walter Patton, indicted for an as
sault on Willard Cahall, in Camden,
with intent to commit murder, was
tried Wednesday. The jury rendered
verdict of guilty and he was senten-
ced to pay $500 fine, costs of rrOsecu-
tiOn, stand one hour in the pillory
Saturday and be imprisoned three
years.
The case of Daniel Plummer, ,colored
indicted for assault with intent to COM
NIT rape on Rosa Weaver, of Wyoming
was begun on Wednesday. On Thurs
day the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty and the court sentenced Plum
mer to ten years Imprisonment.
Arguments were heard in the case of
the Single Takers who were released
from Kent county Jail on a writ of GER
tiOrari. The court reversed the de-
cisiOn of the justice of the peace by
whom they had been sentenced. This
action was based on the ground that
suit should have been instituted in the
name of the State instead of in the
name of the town of Dover. Accord
ingly the Single Takers do not have to
complete the sentence imposed by the
magistrate.
George Brown was convicted of car
rying a concealed deadly weapon by
the jury without leaving the box and
sentenced to pay 800 fine and 80 days
imprisonment
Charles Pilger was indicted of lar
cency; jury trial, not guilty.

prosecution.
Risden Brewington, indicted for
stealing corn of James G. Robinson,
was convicted and sentenced to pay
restitution and be imprisoned one
month.
The Kent county mandamus case was
before the court on Friday morning.
The Democrats accepted the rule of
the court under the alternate writ and
the court ordered the board of canvass
to meet on Tuesday next, April 81, to
tabulate the vote of Kent county, or
to show cause for not tabulating the
vote on Friday, April 30.

The Coming Motive Power.

The time is coming when the steam
railroads will be compelled to adopt
electricity as their motive power.
The building of trolley roads, which
are enabled to be run at less cost, with
almost as great earning capacity and
having a tendency to divert short dis
tance travel from the steam roads will
compel the directors of these compa-
MES to reduce their running expenses
as much as possible, if the persons
who have invested in the securities Of
the company are to realize anything
on their investment. An engineer OF
locomotive receives over 800 a
month, while the fireman receives
over $50 a month; then the conductor
receives a similar salary and often
greater than the engineer. The mo-
torman on trolley car receives some
$40 month and the conductor about
the same. Thus three cars manned
by six men would not receive as much
money as the three employees of the
railroad company. Then electricity
generated from the power house is
cheaper power than developed from
the locomotive. The saving IN cost of
the equipment of the trolley roads are
all in its favor. 1t requires no station,
no ticket agents, no gate tenders, and
no costly locomotives. With these
expenses cut off and a trolley road
doing any kind Of paying business,
there can't help but be big dividends
in few years for the stockholders.
We expect to see in few years, cleo
trio roads running all e,e State
of Delaware. There sh q room

The diplomas were presented by the

Luke's church, for the Board of Trus-
tees. Mr.. Birmingham made few re-
marks to the boys, and was listened to
attentively. He said he was reminded
that he had but little time to speak,
but if in that time he could impress
upon them the value of character, he
would feel that he had not spoken in
vain. He gave the dimensions of char
acter as length, which he described as
righteous persistency; breadth, human
sympathy; and height, faith in God.
These he regarded as the essentials to
a beautifully symmetrical character,
which is indispensable to success.
After the boys had received their
diplomas and had given hearty
cheers for the school and the faculty,
the cadets formed in line again and
marched over to the Institute.
