STALLION WAS A RINGER
Royal Standard Won Several Prizes Under

Discovery Promises to Lead to Scan

CHICAGO. November 23.-Royal Stand
ard, the grand champion coach stallion Of
the Chicago horse show. has been declared
ringer" and his owners, Graham
Brothers of Claremont, Ont, have been
ordered to return the trophies of the VIC
tories as awarded by the judges.
1t has been found that the stallion is an
imported halfbreed, not registered in
America, and never can be because of the
rulings of the American hackney stud
book.
The state board is at present withhold
ing money won by Graham Brothers draft
stallion Young Mcqueen and the hackney
Courier until these trophies shall have
been returned
Secretary Garrard, in speaking of the
matter, said Royal Standard was a ring
err ard we have. fIcm the evidence before
US; no course open but to believe that the
possibility of this exhibition was only Sc
cured through the connivance of an OFF,
cal.
When the matter is Strengthened out
the horses that were placed next to Royal
Standard by the judges will be awarded the
prize premiums"
Royal Standard was adjudged the winner
of the first prize in the class for hackney
stations, three-year-old and over and
standing 15k hands at the shoulder. He
then won the hackney championship, de-
feating all the other hackneys stallion
shown. He then entered the lists in the
coach horse championships, winning in the
class for stations. any age or breed, stand
ing between 151a and 16 hands. Winning in
this class gave him right to show for
the grand challenge cup, and there ne
won again.
1t is now more than likely, Mr.. Garrard
says, that the board will deal severely with
the exhibitors of the horse, If it can be
proved that they were fully aware of his
ineigibility, and also with the horse show
officials who may be shown to have been
in fault.
The stations that will succeed Royal
Standard in the championship class are

Getting Even With Her.

"Oh, l guess I'm getting into the
game now, chuckled the little man on
the street car as he hugged his pack
ages and smiled at the sympathetic
man with glasses who sat next.
" 1 don't quite understand, my
friend"
'Of course not, but it's this way.
You see it's kind of an open question
up at our house whether she or is the
head of the family and were both dur
ing the cunning act just to feel our
way. Christmas she had saved up
enough of my money to buy me some
presents. What l got was diamond
ring that's so small that she has to
wear it herself, lot of toilet fxin's for
our common sleeping room and pair
of kid gloves that happen to be her
number. I took it all so meekly that
she thinks she's the boss and that I
daren't enter protest"
Wouldn't it be well to assert
yourself just enough, you know?"
"Well, 1 should clearly enunciate!
Tomorrow is her birthday. See
these bundles? All presents for her.
There is pair of trousers made to my
measurements, three neckties, half a
dozen big linen handkerchiefs, pair
of shoes that she could slip down and
sit in, u derby hats brier-wOod pipe
and four pounds of smoking tobacco.
There all for her, and the little man
laughed and dropped most of the pack
ages.
Next forenoon the same two hap
pened to ride down town together and
the little man had his packages.
''How did your wife enjoy the pres
ents?" asked the sympathetic man.

New Jerseys Waste Land.

New Jersey is beginning to interest
itself in the subject of reolaiming the
extensive tract of marsh land lying be-
tween Newark and Jersey City and
stretching up the Hackensack for dis
tance of eighteen miles. The tract,
which is crossed by a dozen lines OF
railway, contains $4,000 acres, which
produce nothing at present but swarms
of mosquitoes and rank growth of
bulrushes and salt marsh hay. The
mosquitoes are nuisance to the resi-
dents of the neighboring towns aud the
the bulrushes and salt hay have very
little commercial value. And yet the
land on which they grow is doubtless
the most fertile tract in the State.
The State Geologist has just issued
an interesting report upon the subject
from his consulting engineer, who dis
cusses the methods and cost ofreelaim-
ing these lands. This, he says, is just
as feasible as the drainage of the fen
lands of England or the vast tracts
which have been rescued from the sea
in Holland. He proposes that the
work shall be done by throwing vi
dykes along the main water-courses and
drawing the water off by system Of
tide sluices and pumps operated by
windinilIs, Us in Holland. He esti-
mates the total necessary outlay at ST.
26e, 400, exclusive of the cost of the
land. This would be trife less than
$50 an acre for the %, 7,OOO-acre tract.
As every foot of this land, If re-
claimed, would be suitable for marke
gardening.

Bank Securities Depreciating.

Since the starting of the guarantee
and Trust Companies in our city the
value of the bank stock has been stead
lily decreasing for the past four years.
The value of the Trust Company's
stock has increased just as steadily as
the value of the banks stocks decreased.
The paying of two and three per cent.
interest by the Trust companies on all
balances has indnced firm after firm to
withdraw their accounts with the
banks and place it with the Trust Com
panies.
Every accommodation has been
granted to borrowers by the Trust
Companies by the aid of good negotia-
BILE paper. The Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company when it began
business only a few years ago, had
three clerks employed who could read
lily transact all business offered to that
institution. To-day it takes fifteen
employees to transact the business
done by this Trust Company. The
same was the case with the Equitable
Guarantee and Trust Company's bust
ness. 1t only required three or four
employees now it takes about ten
clerks to transact the business done by
this Trust Company.
Take the price of the National bank
of Delaware stock which was sold as
high as 5000 per share which is now
quoted at $500 per share. The First
National Bank stock sold as high as
$3.50, and is now selling at $117.25 per
share. The Central National Bank
stock sold as high as $132, and is
now selling at $l2O per share The
Union National Bank stock as high as
800, is now selling at 5000 per share.
The Wilmington and Brandywine Ma
tional Bank stock sold as high as 800,
is now selling at $76.5O per share.
The Farmers Bank stock sold high as
sos, is now selling for $64 per share,
The Security Trust Company stock
which was put in the market at 800
per share par value, is now selling for
$144 per share an advance of $44.
The Equitable Trust stock also put in
the market at 800 is now worth $139
per share, an advance of $50. Both
of these institutions pay dividends
and before many years will be worth
considerable more than the price
quoted for them to-day. They are
both making money and have been en-
abled to put by snug sum in their re-
serve fund, in case of emergencies if
any may rise in time to come. The
bank stocks are depreciating while the
Trust Companies stock is on the in
crease and has caused quite a selling of
the bank stocks during the last ten
years. Wilmington Republican.

COIFFURES.

For evening, the hair is dressed very
high and the favorite arrangement is
that of two loose coils, one above the
other. All over waves remain in favor
as indeed any style which gives an ab-
sence of stiffness, nor can any special
mode be characterized as de rigucur.
Now and again, profusion of waves or
loose curls may be noticed at the sides
or in contrast, merely touch of such
additions is given: each lady appears
to suit herself and may be seen with
different coiffures according to fancy.
Jet, shell or Jewelled ornament are
still fashionable, but feathery aigrettes
divide favor with flowers, which de-
licately scented by Murray and Ian
mans Florida water, impart charm
ing illusion and the artful beauty
seems adorned by Natures choicest
offerings. In

ESTIMATE OF AGENTS.

The following is the estimate as fur
nished by the agents along the lines
of the Delaware railroad and branches
to Mr.. Mills. This, he thinks, is too
high by from one-third to one-half:
Delaware railroad-112, $3.50 baskets.
Queen Anne and Kent railroad-S5,
400 baskets.
Delaware and Chesapeake railroad
88, $50 baskets.
Baltimore and Delaware Bay rail
road-127, $50 baskets.
Cambridge and Seaford railroad-14,
$50 baskets.
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
railroad-107, 6S5 baskets.
The principal shipping points will be
Wyoming, on the Delaware railroad:
Milford and Selbyville on the Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia railroad; ;
East New Market ON the Cambridge
and Seaford railroad; Ridgely and
Queen Anne ON the Delaware and
Chesapeake railway; Millington and
Centreville on the Queen Anne and
Kent railroad.
These are points where the buyers
will be located and they will draw from
the smaller stations.

Says the Daily Republican "The
two county collectors for Wilmington
hundred have certainly got a snap,
They will receive $1,000 each and have
no duties worth talking about to per-
form, They were supposed to collect
poll tax only, and even this would
have been an easy job for the salary
paid. They can insist on collecting
poll tax, and then every citizen who
wants to vote will be required to pay
81 extra TO enable him to cast ballot.
The registration fee qualification was
passed to make it as hard as possible
on the poor man, or, in other words,
to prevent him from casting his ballot,
thinking that by the payment of the
registration fee it would deter nu-
merous voters from getting registered
and thus qualifying to enable them tc
vote. It's a delusion and a snare"

BETHEL AIMS CHICKENS.

They're actin mighty queer, it seems to
me, swallOwin' strings with red, white
and blue papers 'tached, futterin, round
as II they'd been to Fourth of July

'FOr land sakes!" exclaimed the tall
Bethel Ann, as sheadjusted her ''specs"
and took a near view of the biddies.
"What be they tryin' to do?. That
yaller hen has two strings and is strut
tin for all's out like a rooster learnin'
to crow"
The poultry did indeed present a
most cOmical appearance, and with
true women curiousity the two elderly
guardians of the small back door yard
started to investigate. "Look out.
now, " said Bethel Ann, ''don't scare'em
away-there! I've got the black pull
lett! and she proceeded to tumble at
the string and straighten out the
crumpled paper fastened to it.
'"There's somethin' writ on it, true as
I'm alive" said the grim Minerva,
holding the chicken as goddess
might be supposed to pose an owl.
''Well, what is it? Can't you read?
complained Bethel Ann.
mo, nor can yOu without winders in
your eyes. But only see how the
crazy things are acting as if they were
real carrier pigeons as I've heard tell
on"
1t would be interesting to know what
the little black hen thought about it as
the two ungainly women bent over her
trying to read the message she had
brought, like lightning from the cloud
on a string. This, however, was no
Morse hierOglyphic, but read in very
plain English, ''please keep your
chickens at home"
''Well, nOw," said the wise one to
the bewildered Bethel Ann, ''that'
some trick of them ar new nabors.
noticed 'em shooin' Old blackie t'other
day, but we've always been used to
lettin' 'em run just as the Lords crit
turs ought to run, fly or creep, as he
designed 'em to do, and as for shuttin'
up chickens, they never do half so well
if they don't have privileges. 1 Won

This is red one, let's catch the yaller
hen. She was a blue paper. Maybe
that tells just how we are to keep a
biddy at home that's fond of calm on
the nabors."
Each paper contained the same re-
quest, "Please keep your chickens at
hOme," and for the benefit of those
who would like to try the experiment
l will explain how it was accomplished.
The poultry of Bethel Ann would have
exhausted the patience of a saint by
their depredations, and neighbors are
seldom saints, outside of cemetary.
The manner of sending the message
had been discussed pro and con by
the Reynolds household, and it had at
length been decided to fasten a grain
of corn on to the end of a string; at
the other end attach the bit of paper,
and the more to attract attention, the
papers were to be patriotic. The bid
dies, greedy feeders that they are,
soon disposed the corn and ran futter-
ing home, each with a string in her
mouth. Now if they had been fur
nished with the proverbial hens teeth
they might have bitten the cords, but
due allowance had been made for the
lack of dentition in domestic fowls,
and it is safe to surmise that the warn
ing was needed by the two owners Of

there is a special fancy for green gar
nets also called olivines. Tiny birds,
insects or lizards showing green gar
nets in combination, are worn by
wealthy sojourners, but the favorite
design for pins, is horse shoe in rae

AFTERNOON.

but worn quite often in the evening in
parlors and on piazzas, are organdie or
lawn dresses, which made over silk
Innings, are exquisitely refined and
cool looking. OF course they are un-
suited to damp weather and require
more thought than nets or other dia-
phanous materials in silk, but never
theless are greatly in vogue. Fine
white organdies trimmed with real Va
lenciennes or black lace, have pres
tige all their own: same can be said of
dainty lawns and both increase or di-
minish in estimation, according to the
quantity of garniture, but colored vari-
ties are equally attractive and here in
particular, sashes are worn as a finish,
though with thin fabrics in general,
sashes are extremely fashionable. The
thin silks and other material mention
ed, are also much worn during after
moons and with the advancing weeks,
will be seen at garden parties, while
the minority who consider Saratoga
as chiefly a place of exhibiting gowns,
most elaborate examples are shown
during morning hours. The sole dis
tinctive feature for evening, is low
neck, but many do not not wear low
neck at any time, the free use of chif-
fon or corsages, Obviating q necessity
for the same. Many round or square

Some evening gowns made of thin
quality silk are quite pretty and b; no
means expensive. According to- Nhe
patterns they are trimmed with rows of
satin ribbon or ruffles, but lace or chit
fOn or both are brought into requisi-
ton as garnitures, especially on the cor
sage. Quite effective dresses are made
of black taffeta silk: the skirt is made
to do duty for several independent
waists and in this way, attractive
changes are obtained at comparatively
small cost. Some of these taffeta gowns
are trimmed with velvet ribbon: satin
folds appear on others or tucks and
ruffies seem hardly ever to come amiss.
Figured taffetas contribute largely,
also, to summer outfits and in accor-
dion plaits or otherwise, are an excel
lent change, but accordion plaits it can
be added, are used to an unprecedented
