The Court has said the indicted Demo-
cratic Inspectors bore agood reputation.
What has that to do with dispensing JUS
tice to these men, who committed one oil
the gravest oifCnses against our laws: At
the term of court following the last city
election, q colorod man was sentenced to
three months imprisonment in New Cas-
tie for trying to register. We might well
ask what right has a colored man to live
in DelawareP The justice that has been
melted out to colored men who have been
charged with trying to vote illegally, APP
pears to be greater crime than altering
the returns of the election and reversing
the will of the people. 1t is a pity our
count could not sec its way clear to purish
these men as they surely deserve. They
should most certainly have been imprisOn'
ell, if only for 80 days. This law should
be so amended, that the Judges could not
hereafter Use their discretion in the mat
ter, but give them the minimum penalty
Ballot box suffers and iunnlgulatUrs eI

rrsa, tho Nem Charter FAM,

There Is no disposition on the part OIL

hard times and good men 10 legion can be

Wilmington should be able to find a first

city for 5000.
The mayors salary, however, Is small
matter when considered rs only ono OF tho
details of the general plan Of local self
government. which the bill provides for.
1t has been for years a stigma upon fair
Wilmington that she is unable to trust her

Tho inhabitants Of other municipalities

Peace in the Family.
Nothing could be better for human
ity in general" jerome X. Jerome de-
clares in To-day, than that woman
should take to smoking. 1t is soothing
20 the nerves, and women suffer from
nerves more than do men. Tobacco
brings broadness, tolerance and kind
ness.
MANY a home would be happier Il a
woman, when she gets worried and dis
traught with the petty cares of domes-
tic life, would light and smoke q cigar
cite before going down into the kitchen
to reprimand the servants, or up into
the study to tell her husband what she
thinks of him.
Men who do not know their own
business pretend to be shocked at the
idea of the lady smoker. A man Of sense
encourages his wife and sisters. his
cousins and his aunts, to smoke. Only
evil spirit and green flies dislike to-
bacco.

his wife, after dinner, lights cigarette,

Jumps of suppressed humanity that our
grandmothers would have them. But

peaceful The woman who smokes a
cigarette rarely nags.
II believe that in another generation
smoking will be as common among
women as it has grown to be among
men. When the woman smokes her
cigarette while the man pulls at his
pipe they will be better friends. Poet

FLOORING MATERIALS.
Artificial Much More Lasting TIA
# the Natural.


Artificial Much More Lasting Thnp
h the Natural.
The comparative durability OF Gif.
ferent flooring materials is set forth in
an article in the Scientific American
based upon careful and accurate in
vestigations. In these tests an ordinary
iron rubbing wheel was used, like that
employed by stone workers for rubbing
a smooth face on marble or sandstone,
and the samples to betested to blocks of
sandstone, laid SAGE downward on the
rubber wheel, which revolyes at the
rate Of rs revolutions a minute. being
supplied with sharp sand and water.
The blocks to which the flooring were
cemented were ofequal weight, so that
the rubbing was effected under nearly
the same pressure in all cases. Curious.
ly enough, the material. which resisted
best this severe trial was India rubber
tiling, which, after an hours rubbing.
lost only one-sixty-fourth of an inch Of
its thickness; and, next TO this. English
eneauste tile gave the best results, los.
ing only one-eigth Of an inch in an
hours treatment. The artificial stone
known as "granolithic," was third, los
ing three-eigths Of an inch; while North
river bluestone lost nine-sixteenths Of
an inch. All the marbles wore away
very rapidly; piece Of marble mosaic
disappeared entirely In rs minutes.
while solid white Vermont marble lost
three-fourths of an inch an hour.
Most Of the wood floorings resisted
abrasion better than the marble; thus.
white pine lost only seven-sixteenths OF
an inch under treatment that removed
nearly twice as much from solid
marble; yellow pine about like white.
and oak lost more than either Of the
pines.

A KINGS APPAREL


The Crown, One shirt. One Pair OF
Epauiettcs and Three Feathers.
An order which has been received in
England from a dusky monarch in a
British colony, for his regal robes and
crown, indicates that civilization IS
making very rapid progress in West
Africa. The kings who were content
to be clothed solely in a top hat and a
pair of anklets, il they have not actual
ly all gone, are fast disappearing, says
the London Telegraph
Instrumentation of the articles asked
for win no doubt be Of interest as show
ing the clothing of a lzing-in West
Africa. They are:
One pair trousers, black superfne
cloth, embossed in rich, heavy silk.
One shirt, black superfne cloth. EN-.
bossed with gilt. straight lines of gilt
braid.
One mantel to design, lined black silk,
embossed all around edge in gilt oak
leaf, with fixtures for epaulettes.
One gilt nine-inch crown.
One pair epaulettes, with gilt tops
and gilt fringe.
One cap to design (star in center).
Three feathers for ditto.
Six yards silk lining.
1t IS q circumstance worthy Of note
that q cap (star in center), with three
feathers is an indication Of royalty in
Africa when the crown (gilt, nine-lueh)
is absent. and also that his majesty is
the proud possossor OF one shirt and one
pair of trousers.

A Letter to The Earl Of Essex from
Charles I.
A dear friend of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and a man of
cminence in letters, was shown over the
cathedral Of Itchfeld by the then dean,
says a writer in the Gentleman's Mag
nzine. As a souvenir of his visit he
was presented by the dean with q GU
rious and handsome cane which some
years previously had been dug out in
the course of some alterations. For
years my friend used this, until the top
came Off and the revelation was made
that the cane was hollow. Thrusting
down a finger, the owner brought out
n yellum missive. This proved to be
n letter to the earl of Essex. signed
by Charles l., asking him to bring over
his army TO the royal side and promis-
ing IN recompense for so doing his own
gratitude and the richest reward that
monarch could bestow upon subject.
After the death of my friend I was
permitted to show the treasure, for
such in fact it was. at the British mu-
scum. Alas for the hopes that had
been formed. Mr.. Warner brought me
out a practical facsimile and told me
that others were in existence Cop
les had been made. and several had been
dispatched by different hands in the
hope that one might reach the earl.
The copy held had obviously failed to
reach, though the ingenious plan Of
concealment prevented its detection un-
til the days of Queen Victoria.

ENGINEERS AND ACCIDENTS.
A Superstition About 'erhree Times
and Out"

superstition About "AHfce AAnth
and Out"
A man employed in one of the rail-
way offices in Washington has for years
been collecting newspaper accounts Of
railway accidents Of all kinds, says Io-
comotiye Engineering. He now has
thousands Of these narratives, and from
an attentive study OF them he has come
to the conclusion that no locomotive
engineer ever came alive out Of his third
disaster. This is all nonsense, of course,
but there may be a basis TO truth in the
calculations.
It seems that this belief is widely
held by engineers themselves, and the
maker Of the scrapboolc asserts that it is
So well supported by experience asto be
almost as demonstrable as the law Of
gravitation or any other natural regula-
ton. He does not insist that engineers
are never killed in their first or second
accident, but he does maintain with
great seriousness that the man who has
had two 'close calls" will If he Is wise
abandon railroading and make his liv-
ing some other way. It Is not difficult
10 see how such a superstition should
have arisen, for the chances that an
engineer viii three times survive the
perils Of collisions and derailments.
greater for him than for any one else
on a train, are manifestly close TO the
vanishing point To suppose that his
danger is greater in the third than in
the first wreck is. Of course. merely nm
other form Of the delusion that "lucll
is bound to change"
