He GOT THE PRIZE.

D. w. LYNCH & COMPANY PROVE
THAT THEY SELL SOAP IN
LARGE LOTS.
John f. Gallagher, clerk for d. w.
Lynch & Company, of Fourth and Mad
isOn and Eighth and King streets, has
proved that he and the firm for which
he works are both hard workers, and
they sell large quantities of soap Some
time ago a prize was offered for the one
who sold the largest quantity of Sun
light soap. Mr.. Gallagher is a clerk in
the store at Eighth and King streets.
The prize was offered in Pennsylva-
mia, Delaware, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Mr. Gallagher
sold 1926 bars. Yesterday he received
a check for S1O0, that being the prize
offered by the soap manufacturers for
the highest number so.d. The next
highest man sold but 963 bars. All OF
this goes to show that both d. w.
Lynch & Co. and their Clerks are active
business people.

A HOTEL IN TWO TOWNS.
II One Town Goes Dry the Bar Can
He Moved Into the other Town.

II One Town Goes Dry the Bar Can
He Moved Into the other Town.
In selecting the site for the Grand
hotel in the Catsl1ills, on the top of
Pine Hill mountain, the owners evil
dently had in mind the vagaries of the
excise vote. 1t is not generally known
that the Grand hotel stands on the boup-
dary line of Ulster and Delaware coun-
ties, the boundary line passing almost
through the middle of the hotel build
ing. The hotel therefore is in the town
ship of Shandaken, Ulster county, and
in the township of Middletown, Della
ware county. Should Shandaken go
dry, the hotel bar could Ibe moved to
Middletown, and vice versa. Advantage
has been taken of this fact by the ho-
tel owners to keep down the assess
ment, says the New York Sun.
The assessors of ShandalSen placed n
valuation on the property of $4,000,
but agreed to assess it for only $4,000
if the hotel would remain in that town
ship. This year they have raised the
hotel assessment to $4,000, and the
owners have notified them that they in
tend to remove the hotel to Delaware
county, where the assessment will be
made much lower by the town of Mid
dletown. The assessors of Shandaken
township are going to try to have bill
passed by the next legislature Great
ing this hotel property into a special
district, and giving to the stockholders
the privilege of voting as to where they
shall be assessed or whether they shall
be assessed at all.

ON THE WANE.
Bull Fighting No Longer PopuAnr
Among the Spaninrds.

Bull Fighting No Longer PopuAnr
Among the spaninrds.
Bull fighting is on the wane in
Spain. and its popularity is rapidly de-
clining. This, says the New York
Tribune, is shown by the fact that the
Madrid chamber of commerce has just
presented a petition based on the
unanimous vote of its members to the
governor OF Madrid, requesting him to
put a stop TO weekday corridos, save on
exceptional occasions. 1t is urged
therein that bull fights on working days
injure trade and industry. are detri-
mental to the dispatch of business in
the government offices and favor idle
ness with all its accompanying evils.
The governor has promised to accede
to the petition, and his decision is ap-
proved by a large and Influential por-
ton of the public, while the remainder
of the people view the matter with in
difference. Yet 20 years ago the bare
idea of any restriction of the number
of bull fights by the authorities would
have raised storm of indignation.
possibly developing into revolution.
The altered condition of public senti-
ment with regard TO this national
sport is mainly attributable to the eX-
cellent influence of the queen regent,
who has always set her face against
bull fighting, resolutely declining to
countenance the corridos by her pres
enee.

THE POCKETS OF CONSUMERS.

Every day Of the squabbling over
rates brings into palmer relief the ma
ture Of the modern tariff bill as a de-
vice for transferring millions of dollars
from the pockets of a host of consumers
to those of a few producers. Take, for
example. the question. over which hot
battle is raging. whether the tariff on
white pine shall stand at 81 a 1,000 to
which the Senate reduced the rate from
the 81 adopted by the House. This is a
case where the exact meaning of the
change to a small group of men can be
figured out on the authority of one OF
their number Here is the story, as
told by our Washington correspondent
the incident having been related at a
convention of lumber manufacturers in
Memphis. Tenn. by A. n. Winchester
OF Buckhannon. w. Va, whose WORD
nobody doubts.
There was a meeting OF lumber
kings in Senator Burrows committes
room not long ago. One of the gentle
men from Minnesota made an estimat,
on the back of an envelope of what tn,
80 rate meant to the group of men pres
ent He walked around the room and
then said 'iMr. Burrows do you know
what 81 a thousand would mean to thi,
little crowd of men in here? On las

nually in Delaware on our public roads
because they are not expended in per-
manenl5 improvements along scientific
lines. Our road work consists largely
in patchwork. and the fruits of labor
expended this Spring and Summer only
last a few months. Sussex county
probably has the worst roads in the
ssate. and yet within the past twenty
years the enormous sum OF $3.50, 600 has
been contributed by the taxpayers TO
keep up a read system which has
proven its own utter worhlessness by
the results attained. The systems in

THE ADpICKs sERPENT

Our Addicksite friends must be in a
terrible plight. 1t has only been a few
months since lJhey were walking rough
shod over the regular Republicans. and
It was their boast that they had trod-
den the life out of the men who had
questioned the right OF Mr.. Addicks TO
be the dominant factor in Delaware
politics But they reckoned without
their host BY the shrewd move OF
withdrawing their electoral ticket and
helping to elect the Addicks electors
they ingratiated themselves with the
Mckinley administration and Sc
cured the Federal patronage, and by
setting up rival state and county tickets
they prevented the Addicksites from
exciting anybody in this state, and even
had the moral courage to stand with
the Democrats in The work Of prevent
ing Addicks men who claimed 10 be
Constitutional Convention delegates
and members of the General Assembly
from securing their seats.
Reputation in Washington and repu-
diaition in Delaware are more than such
a venal body as the Union Republican
party can stand, and It Is now begging
the regular Republican organization to
compromise all differences and forget
the past
But such a thing Is out of the ques-
tion. The constituency OF the regular
Ilo,,,,b1f f,o,, uH1ofio, 10 uound and
respectable and can be relied upon by
its leaders. This cannot be said of the
Union Republicans. We're they to enter
the camp OF the regular Republicans
they would have to be kept under con-
stant watch and ward lest they turn
upon the regulars and act the traitor
Gus part.
We are OF the opinion that the regu-
lar Republican was right when he said:
''There is only one thing for the Ad-
diclSftes to do. That is to repudiate Ad-
dicks, dlsband and come home to
mother"
Our regular Republican friends cam
not treat with the Union Republicans
as an organization. They can ill-af-
ford to take within their organization
even the semblance of another organi-
zation, especially when its trail OF COR
ruption and disruption is so fresh and
offensive. The only sensible thing for
the regulars to do is to go on in the
even tenor OF their way and permit the
Union Republican party to disintegrate
and drop away from its leaders. Then
the rank and file could be used and the
leaders, who are the real source of dan
ger to the regular organization, could be
left out of all participation in the
partys affairs. Il would be the height
OF folly for the regular Republicans 10

A Small Boys Ingenuity,

A small boy in the Mission is the
owner of a woolly little donkey Of
more than ordinary intelligence and
perversity.. Some time ago the man
ger in the stable fell down and struck
the donkey on the head, since which
time nothing could induce the animal
to enter the stable of his own accord
and he wandered around the yard at
his own sweet will.
The other day the boy found that the
donkey viewed the lawn mower with
mingled curiosity and alarm. He would
not turn tail and run from it, but
would back away, the while keeping
his ears at a full cock, and his eyes
on the machine. That fact gave the
boy an idea. Now he leads the donkey
to the stable door, turns the animal
around and runs the lawn mower to-
ward him. When the donkey backs
into the stable the door is slammed on
him before he realizes where he is
San Francisco Post.
