AMERICANS AS A RULE
Are Not Favorably Disposed
Towards Counterfeits

Either counterfeit money or counterfeit
goods of any kind, The u S. Court, sit
ting at Rochester, n Y. has ordered an
injunction against the sale of Grain o in
packages made to initiate the original
Postum Cereal Food Coffee packages.
Tho counterfeit in this case was put out
in packages having the red seals and much
OF the wording of Postum, and the non
discriminating public have been given this
or some one of the other various imita-
tions when calling at the stores for the
original Postum Cereal Food Coffee
These makers of articles to furnish
grocers with which to substitute" for
some original article have little idea Of
hygienic or food value In Cereal Coffee.
Some counterfeits are offered in place of
Postum because the package Weighs two
pounds while the genuine package weighs
but " lbs. One counterfeit two-pound
package looks like Drowned rye kernels
ground 1t is probably harmless enough
but no idea Of food value Is there. Postum
is made by skillful food experts, 70 per
cent being secured from the parts of tho
cereals containing the albumen aud phos-
pilates required by the human body 20 re-
build the gray matter in the nerve cells.
This part also produces the disatase which
digests starch. That's why Postum
makes red blood" and why thoughtful
people use 1t regularly. Buyers should
look tor the red seals and the registered U.
S. trade mark.
Srocers sell the original and genuine
Postum at 10 and 25 cents u package.

The result of the election in our city
shows the wisdom of uniting on the same
set of candidates. if their election is the
end aimed at. Last November, through
the prejudice and stupidity of would DO
leaders of public sentiment, the party was
divided and we can now sec tho result.
The cost of that blunder cannot be esti-
mated. IL placed all the Offices in the
State in the hands OF the Democrats and
the proclamation Of the new constitution
Is the only thing which gives the Repub-
lican party any hope Of ever gaining poll
tical ascendency in the State. We hope
we may never again see such an approach
to political suicide The rule or ruin policy
is too foolish for any sensible men to
countenance. Ii prestige can only be ST.
cured by defeating the party, patriotism
must be at a very low ebb indeed We
want leaders to secure success and not to
lure to defeat. We hope the election last
Saturday will prepare the way for other
victories, and the redemption of our Coun-
ty and State will follow. In districts
where the vote is nearly equally divided,
the greatest vigilance is necessary Tho
action of the inspector in the fourth dis
trct of the Fourth ward should teach u
lesson. The carrying of Of ballot box
or the suppression of the result Of u count
Of the votes, should not DO tolerated If
such action docs not prove intended fraud
1t is at any rate very suspicious. This act
should not be lightly excused, it should
be Investigated and if the ballots have been
tempered with Mr.. Holt should be declar-
I'd elected. 1t is not the first time Repub.
licans have boon cheated out Of an cleo
ton, but it should be the last. The Demo-
Gratis will contend, even if they are in the
wrong, but If fraud shall be proven, they
must give up and that too more speedily
than their confedcrate5 In Kent county
have done. OF that steal wc cannot find
words to express our condemnation, and
yet they profess to be honest, God fearing
men, Democrats of the first water. Fur.
Their comment is unnecessary Your readers
can draw their own conclusions We hone
the right may hereafter triumph and all
rogues be punished FOR their crimes. Let
all learn wisdom by experience and avoid
tho errors in the future that proved ruin
Gus IN the past An honest course will
lead to success and a dishonest one to de.

GoRDY'S GIBBET GOING UP.
The Murderer Wants 1t Built Where he
Can See 1t.


GEORGETOWN, Del, June 7.-Undertak.
er George w. Hatfield, assisted by Moul.
ton R. Peppers a carpenter, to-day began
arranging the lumber in the jail yard for
the scaffold on which murderer James Nj.
Gordy will be hanged on Friday next.
The scaffold will be erected in the north
east corner of the jail yard. 1t will be
put up by Wednesday night or Thursday
morning.
Gordy was in the best of spirits and
spent most of the time in singing cheer.
full songs and peering out through tho
window trying to watch the workmen.
WANTS IT WHERE HE CAN sEElT.
The scaffold Is not being built to suit
the murderer. He cannot see the carpen-
tiers at work, and this afternoon, with his
face pressed against the bars. Gordy call
ed out: Say, Mr.. Hatfield, won't you
build it over here in the northwest corner
of the yard. l want to sre the thing
through and want SO see all your work"
Hatfield and his assistant paid no atten-
ton to Gordy' yelling and kept on prepar-
ing the boards for the scaffold. The total
height will be IA feet. The floor will be
five feet from the ground, which will al.
low drop OF that distance.
THE MuRDERERs LAST STAND.
The platform on which Gordy will stand
will be 6x12 feet Tho hook from which
the rope on the scaffod will slip is an old
rusty one, which has laid around the
county Jail for 25 years. Ex-Sheriff Irux-
ton went to Philadelphia to-day to buy
rope 40 feet long which will be used in the
execution. Gordy was visited by his
brothe this afternoon, and tho two had a
long talk. The prisoner seems to be in a
happy mood and says he is prepared for
death.

 Annoyed By Prowling Rascal.
 A number of families living on Can- ner street in the vicinity of Whitney avenue have been greatly annoyed late- ly by ruff1an who has been proving around that neighborhood late at night frightening women and peering In win dows. During the past week the fellow became so bold that the people living near the scene of his operations became frightened and decided to employ a special officer to patrol the street during the night.
 Officer East has been detailed to af- ford the Gamer street people the de- sired protection and began duty last night. He is paid by the families who applied for the extra police protection.
 The man who has caused all the alarm is described as a. short, thick-set fellow, about thirty-five years of age, He has intercepted and pursued mum Der of young women, members of well known families living on Gamer street, and also servant girls. A few nights ago young man discovered the fellow peering in one of the windows on the lower floor of his home and chased him with a revolver. The culprit ran through the lots to Livingston street and although pursued by number or men succeeded in escaping.

BAsEB4LL NOTES.
"Yale'' Murphy-What J. B. Day Says
 Waterbury Loses Fine Player.

"Yale' Murphy-What y. B. Day Says
 Waterbury Loses Fine Player.
 John B. Day, who for several years was president of the New York Base ball club of the National League, and who is now in charge of all the league umpires, told friend in this city Sat urday that "Yale" Murphy will prob ably play but few games as regular member of the Giants this year. The object of the New York management In signing Murphy, according to MT. Day, is to make him business manager of the team and to give him full charge of the clubs finances. President Freed man and Director F. B. Talcott are great admirers of the little fellow and have induced him to give up the idea of devoting all his time to the study of medicine, for the present at least, and he is sure of a good paying berth as long as he chooses to remain with the New York team.
