Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
tiers improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood pu-
rifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

Review of trade by the agencies show
that for the quarter ending October l,
failures were the smallest of any quarter
since 1892, and business payments
through the banks the largest eyer

Farmers of Maine will record the year
1897 as one of the hardest seen for many
years, if not the hardest ever seen. The
oackwardness of the spring and inees-
SAINT rains prevented the planting of a
full crop, and, if we except the hay
crop, which was harvested in very
poor condition, they have been far below
the average. Potatoes in most sections
are failure; beans, grain aud apples are
not much better. Farmers have very
little they can get cash out of. This
condition retards the return of prosperity
in the farming communities in the State
and unfavorably affects trade

TROUBLE AT TALLEYVILLg.

PENNSYLVANIA TOUGHS BROKE
UP THE MEETING OF THE LY-
CEUM.
There was a small riot ait Talleyville
on Tuesday evening. The lyceum at
THAT place held meeting, and some
toIghs from over the, Philadelphia line
went there determined to break up the
meeting They succeeded, and were al
most broken up themselves in the free
fight which attended their efforts.
They invaded the place of meeting
and insulted some of the women. The
presiding officer ordered them to go
out. His orders were set at defiance.
and he was roundly cursed for his
pains. He and his brother members
proceeded to eject the intruders. Sew
eral women tainted and the others
made their escape Through the doors
and windows. Then the men had a
battle-rOyal in which the Philadelphia
toughs were worstcd, although nearly
all of the furniture in the room was de-
molished. At the next meeting of the
lyceum the question to be discussed is,
"ResOlved, That we don't propose to
stand any burned foOlishness." " Every
body will be on The Affirmative side Of
the question unless the Pennsylvania
toughs happen to renew their visit.

VICTIMS OF A HOAX.

The Delaware Society Of Colonial
Danes. the Every Evening and the
Morning News have been made the vic
tlms OF a terrible hoax, and are to-day
the laughing stock OF the community
The Colonial Danes organized for
the purpose of studying and treasur-
ing our local history and traditions,
and are supposed to know something
about the historical works Of our state.
The editors Of our two victimized con-
temporaries are also expected to know
little about written state history, but
il is apparent that they do not.
Some time ago, to encourage the
study Of local history by
the boys and girls of the
state. the Society of Colonial DANES
offered a prize of $40 to the Delaware
boy or girl who would write and send
in the best essay on some colonial sub
ject. Among those who contested for
the prize was boy named Thomas, Of
tender years, who lives down the state
His essay was entitled Pirates and
Privateers," and to use an inelegant ex-
preston, 1T was peach"
The DANES awarded the youngster
the prize, voted him the degree Of Juve-
nile Historical Prodigy, and decided to
have the essay printed. IL was sent to
the Every Evening and the Morning
News, and they devoted column afteI
column OF space to 1t.
Il now transpires that the boy went
to Scharfs History Of Delaware anc
stole the whole thing, not even takipl
the trouble TO change the title of th'
chapter and only dropping or supply
ing an adjective here and there in uh'
parts OF It which he used, and in mos
sentences not even going to that trou
BILE in his work OF literary piracy an'
privateering at the expense of the Co
lon.al DANES. If anyone doubt
this, just take Scharf's His
tory, turn to the chapter entitle
Pirates and Prlvateers," on page 9!
in the first volume, and all doubts wi
be dispelled.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
FIERY TRACKS IN MTD-oCEAN

FIERY TRACKS IN MID-OCEAN.
Sometimes we see in mid-ocean fiery
tracks left on the water OF an indef-
Mite, serpentine form, which might well
be mistaken for some monster of
sea-serpent; 1t is probably due to the
progression of a large, elongated fish
Wriggling away in the distance, it is
sumes the apparent dimensions Of thir-
~ or forty feet-a most astonishing
spectacle. The different corruscations
OF the various sea organisms are very
noticeable A starfish radates a bright
uranium green, while the seapen
einits pale lilac colors, comparable to
the fame of cyanogen gas. A certain
shellhsh from a depth OF 1000 fathoms
or more glows with a reidish-brcwn
light and some OF the deep-aea spOnges
are resplendent in milk-white rays re-
fleCted a thousand times among the
iibres of spun glass texture. Perhaps
the mos. singular record Of phOsphor-
escence Is found in the Challenger rec
ord where IL is stated explicitly chat
the icebergs Of the Southern ocean,
somewhere i'm the latitude of Ker-
guelen Islands, showed faint CLEANS of
whitish luminosity at night We might
almost attribute this phenomenon TO
reflection from the surface Of the sea.
rather than anything inherent in the
ice itself. All these minute sea ami
mails are delicate and fragile TO the last
| degree. Take n specimen from its ma

touch or falls to pieces in your fingers
On the other hand, the same structure
is able to withstand the fierce strife of
wind and wave with the greatest un-
concern; however the storm may rage
the frail life in The ocean remains alb
| soiutely uninjured. even when great
ships are driven to destruction.
The cOntrivanCes to this end are inf
nite. In calm seas the creatures float
on the surface especially in the night
season. Directly the elements contend
and the waves rage the millions of
small animals, as if in concert, sink to
the depth Of a few fathOms. All man.
ner of organic notifications exist for
the purpose. Air chambers act as tenn
po1ary floats when fully expanded in
the calm weather, the imitation being
regulated as the creature rises and
falls, a process well illustrated by the
alterations in a Portugese man-of-war
The separate air chambers are like the

WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

We would, without prejudice, ask
the management Of the Wilmington
and New Castle Electric Railway Com
pany what we regard as a pertinent
question. II is: Do you think it right
TO carry the Municipal Court prisoners
over to New Castle in the same cars
and at the same times that you carry
regular passengers?
We know that the road Is new one,
and that It needs all the financial sup
port that it can secure, but we doubt
whether that is the way to get patron
age. Law-abiding citizens, and par
ticularly the women and children of
that class, ought not TO be expected to
sit in the same car with manacled pris-
oners and ride for several miles in
their company. The association is un-
desirable and the spectacle exceedingly
depressing. 1t was bad enough when
the prisoners We're taken over in the
smoking cars on the steam railroad
but then only the men suffered the hui
initiation and the aggravation of pay
ing fare for the privilege Of riding will
convicts or suspects. But under thu
present system a person who buys
ride on the trolley line never know
whether he will have some desperate
scoundrel or some filthy tramp rubbing
up against him in the car.
If the prisoners are to he taken owe
on the trolley some provision shoul
be made to keep them apart from an
out Of sight OF the regular patrons c

tiful section of country that the pei
son who takes the trip for the pleas
