What RnIea fI,e World.

Many years ago John Brougham, Lester Wallack, Artemus Ward and oth- CTS used to meet after the play at Windhurst's, in Park row. One night the question, "What rules the world?' arose, and various opinions were ex- pressed. William Ross Wallace, who was present, retired before long, and some time later called Thomas J. Leigh from the room and handed to him q poem which he had just written. Mr Leigh read it aloud to the company, and Mr. Brougham made happy little speech of acknowledgement. Tho thing was entitled What Rules the World, ]" and the first stanza ran:
 They say that man is mighty,
 He governs land and sea,
 He wields mighty scepter
 Der lesser powers that be.
 But mightier power and stronger
 Man from his throne has hurled.
 And the hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world.

YOUNG MEN TO BIZ ARRESTED.
WHOLE PARTIES OF THEM, WELL
DRESSED, HAVE BEEN STEAL
ING RIDES TO PHILADELPHIA.

There are prospects of a wholesale
arrest of young men on the charge OF
trespass before many days have passed
1t has become a popular custom FOR
them to assemble quietly at Front and
Poplar streets every evening and climb
the FIRST freight train that slows up 10
pass the p, w. & b. railroad station
They know that trains having refrig
orator cars are ordered through and
run faster than express trains, having
the right of way all along the line and
priority to accommodation trains.
The fellows are not buns nor loafers.
but are well-dressed and have simply
learned to take this risk that they may
spend their moonlight nights in Ches-
ter Philadelphia and take a late train
back at night. 1t will take a force Of
fifty men to make the raid necessary
TO capture as many OF these daring
chaps as pass Landlith almost nightly
on a through freight.

NOTHING Rl1T FROTH.

AT the meeting of the Union Repub-
hcan State Central Committee, held AZ
Dover yesterday afternoon, Walter II
Hayes was elected a member to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation OF
Postmaster Daniel Stewart. The
matter of the reorganization OF the
party in the new legislative districts
created by the new Constitution was
discussed at length, but no definite
line of action was decided upon. Presir
dent McKinley's action in recognizing
the regular Republicans to the exclu-
sion Of the Addicksites was talked over
and many expressions of criticism OF
the administration attitude were eN'
changed, but no formal promulgation
was issued. ]. Edward Addicks was
present. Messrs, Alice, Clark, Layton
and Hayes will journey to Washington
next week and try to prevail upon the
administration to recognize Addicks
followers.

SUPREME COURT IN JANUARY.

KENT COUNTY MANDAMUS CASE
WILL NOT BE HEARD UNTIL
THAT TIME.
The reason the judiciary decided that
1t was not necessary for the governor
TO call an extra session of the General
Assembly was that all courts except.
ing the Supreme Court, would take the
place Of the old ones, ample provisions
to that effect being made. The regular
session of the Supreme Court will not
occur until January when the General
Assembly will be in session. The judges
did not deem 1t wise to recommend a
special session on that point This viii
throw The Kent county mandamus case
over to that time.
The judges took lunch with Judge
Grubb at his Gilpin avenue home.
On Monday Chancellor Nicholson Will
administer the oath of Office to Judges

SMYRNA'S POST OFFICE.

ALL BREEDS OF REPUBLICANS
ARE SCRAMBLING FOR THE
PLUM.
An active fight is now on in Smyrna
for the post Office. Regular Republi
cans, Addicksites and men on the fence
are all in the scramble for the place
but tho regulars will get it, and the
consensus of opinion is that John Price
a farmer On Walter o. Hoffecker' s
place, will get it. The applicants are
Thomas Jefferson, Addicksite; John
Price, regular; Thomas B. Megear
regular; Frank Postles, fencite; A. L.
Hudson, Jr., fenceite; John Z. Phillips
Addicksite; Professor Isaac Pennewill
fenceite.
Since the Federal Patronage distri-
button was placed in the hands OF Col
onel Henry A. DUPONT, large numbers
OF Duck Creek hundred Addicksites
have become fenceites, and it is only a
step from fenceite to Higignsite.

BOGGS As A MORALIST.
HE CHARACTERIZED THE MEM
BERS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION AS A SET OF
THIEVES.


THIEVES.
A good joke is going the rounds at
the expense of the members of the Con-
stitutional Convention. On the after
noon that the convention adjourned
sine die and when most OF the men,
bers took their effects to the railroad
station at Dover with them, William
N. Boggs, the defaulting teller of the
First National Bank of Dover, was
standing on the station platform. See
ing the waste baskets and cuspidors
piled all around the station he remark
ed to a friend:
'iJust look at that. They have taken
their waste-baskets, spittoons and
everything they could carry and are on
their way home with them. How in the
world they can be so low / cannot i'm
agine. They are nothing but set of
regular darned thieves"
At that time he was waiting to board
the train with several thousand dollars
of other peoples money on his person,
and about to become a fugitive from
justice.
This calls to mind an incident con-
nected with the looting of the Citizens
National Bank at Middletown by Cash
ier Rankin Hall a good many years
ago. Hall was at the railroad station
waiting for the north bound train. He
carried in his hand a satchel which was
rather well stuffed. A friend of his
from Delaware City, who was one of
the principal stockholders in the bank,
was also on his way out of Middle
town, and happened to be at the sta
tion at the same time. Touching Halls
satchel playfully with his foot he jocu-
larly remarked:
Il never see a bank cashier at a rail-
road station with a grip in his hand
that / don't think right away that he
is of for Canadal"
Hall did not act as though he relish
ed the playful insinuation, and it was
dropped by the Delaware City stock
holder Next day the stakeholder was
amazed to read in the papers that Hall
had really skipped off to Canada, and
that the satchel which he had playfully
kicked was stuffed full Of the banks
money

CoNDITIoN on sNUFF MILL ROAD.

CONDlIlON Ot' SNUFF MILL iOAD.
Il wish that you would call public at
tention to the condition of Snuff Mill
road, on the north side OF the Brandy
wine, from Market street up to the Jes-
sup and Moore Paper Company's
works." said a man of prominence, who
has occasion to use the road a great
deal, to an Evening Journal reporter
this morning Complaint after COM
plant has been lodged with the Park
Commissioners, but they have let them
go unheeded, and spent all of their time
and most of their money on the south
side Of the Brandywine. The longer this
thing is permitted to run, the harder 1t
will be for the commissioners to get the
Snuff Mill road back to its old condi-
ton, when it was a decided pleasure TO
drive over its even surface. There Is
no drive in this neighborhood which is
so desirable for the great natural
beauty which it commands, but the
pleasure of looking at the works Of ma
ture is marred considerably now by
reason Of the neglect to the works OF
man."
