turning from hanging them ont, Mrs

GA what?' demanded Mrs. Busby,
catching her breath
"a baby" 1t was plain to see that Mr.
Vance was enjoying the situation. "A
woman who was going East on visit
brought it from Kansas. Said it belonged
to some OF Busby's folks. She left it in
cafe of the ticket agent, and he sent it over

cried most ever since the woman left him. -
Mrs. Busby took down her green cling
ham sunbonnet and prepared to follow him
out to the wagon without work.
'Was you expecting it?' Mr.. Vance
askd, somewhat disappointed at her quiet
ness.
"Not to day." she replied, briefly.
1t was plump, but tear stained, little
face that met her gaze. There were great
blue eyes, rosy mouth, and closely curl
ing yellow hair. But the child was unmis
takably dirty, and began crying again in
a piteous fashion.
Mrs. Busby held up her arms. Come
to auntie, DEAR" she said, coaxingly. 'You
want some bread and milk, don't you, and
to see the dear little chickens?"

morning, but he expected no reference TO
it from his wife. A surprise awaited him.
The table was laid for three, ard at the
guests place stood a clumsy little hisa
chair that for twenty years had stood empty
in an upper room. And on the floor sat a
happy faced child, surrounded by clothes
pins, empty bottles, disused candle stick,
and like collection of impromptu play
things.
"Who-who is that, Mirandy ?"
Joey Hale Busby," was Miranda's
prompt reply, and, picking up the child,
she put it in her husbands arms. "Therc,
joey dear, make friends with Uncle Joseph.

Two lovers there are-I know them we'll
Who learned the lesson love comes to teach,
Whose eyes bright with the DID, old light,
Whose hands seek each for each.
And this love of theirs seems thing most rare,
For each of the lovers has silver hair.
His face is mellow with passing years.
But with never a line that is hard or bleak
Her face is rhyme of the olden time
With tinge of red in her cheek.
And deem this than passing fair,
Since both of these lovers have silver hair.
Let time go by, but love may last,
AS true as ever true love may be-
May theirs be the smile that after awhile
Shall wait for you and mel
All sweeter would seem life's toll and care
IF there we're more lovers with silver hair!

arrested Thursday by Detectives Wit
sill and McVey and Officer Davidson on
the charge of robbing the residence of

as numerous articles were found where
he had pawned them. Among other
things the police have recovered a gas
stove, hanging clock aud blue coat
with valuable gold watch chain in
the pocket, nome of which have heen
claimed. The authorities are desirous
that persons who have had things
stolen from them recently would cali at
headquarters and give such information
as they can, which will probably lead
TO the recovery of the stolen articles
and the Identification of the articles
which have been recovered.
When Phillips was arrested Thursday
he confessed to the officers that he
had stolen a clock and cup from the
residence Of DIR. McCurdy. Tho clock
was recovered, but he stated that he
had concealed the cup in an ash barrel
and would give the officers such in
formation as would lead to its recovery.
A Accordingly, he was taken out this
morning by Detective McVey. but after
searching about for some time WAS
unable to locate it. He stated that ho
had placed it in an ash barrel near a
stable, but did not know where the
stable was.
The cup is very pretty silver
trophy, and bears the names OF two
Of DR.. McCurdy's sons and another
young man, and lie therefore highly
priced. The pnlice make the request
that the person finding it return it to
headquarters.
Phillips gives his residence as Phila
delphla, and is thought to be notori,
Gus crook. He will have an opportu.
nifty TO tell his story at the next session
of court.

The Washington correspondent OF

lin the last River and Harhor act
provision is made for continuing the
improvement of tho harbor of Whining
ton, Del, upon a modified project
recommended by the engineers, and the
sum OF $50, QUO was appropriated to
start the work, which it il estimated
will require about $500, 900 to complste.
Tho act provides, however, that a re.
port shall first he made upon the pro-
jected improvement by board of en-. :
gineer officers. This board was an
pointed by the chief of engineers. 1t
consisted OF three officers, with Col.
Hams at its head. In the report sub.
mitted to the chief OF engineers the
board expresses the. belief that the exc.
cution OF the modified project under ex-
listing conditions ia practically impossi-
bio within the limits OF the expendi-
lures established by the act Of Con-
gross. A continuous contract, there
fore, is not recommended to complete
the project. The total amount OF availa-
BILE for this improvement ia $50, 525. AS
the navigable interest of the ChristiHna,
River is greatly IN need Of temporary
relief, the board recommends that the
sum available he applied to dredging
the channel of that river between it's
mouth and the pulp works at localities
where the work will be Of the greatest
and most immediate benefit to naviga-
tion.
For dredging the harbor Of Will
mington, contract was recently made
with tho Atlas Dredging 20. OF Will

cubic yard, place measurement. For
this work the act of 1896 authorizes
contracts to be made to the extent OF
1925, SAG. The estimate is for p foot
channel, and the estimated aggregate
cost was 1908, 430, exclusive of flushing
basin and extension of jetty. The re-.
port of Gen. Smith, tho engineer
officer in immediate charge under
Major Raymond, shows that since 1889.
when the improvement of the harDnr Of
Wilmington began, the total quantity
Of the material dredged is about
1870, 900 cubic yards. Tina excavation
has never been carried to depth
creator than 10 feet at mean low wator.

mouth q the Christiana River. The
total amount expended upon the i'm

WlGGINS ON METEORITES.


His Opinion Is That Some of Them Con-
tain Written Characters.
Professor E. Stone Virgins of Ottawa
believes the aerolite which fell near
Binghamton few nights ago and is
alleged to have contained piece of iron
with hieroglyphics was really a message
from Mars. When questioned recently,
Professor Virgins said: "My opinion
is that stones have for many thousands
of years fallen from space upon the
earth which actually contained written
characters, The ancient Jews and other
nations speak of their sacred books as
having fallen from heaven, and as the
earliest important records were pre-
served in stone it seems probable that
the idea originated with aerolites like
that of Binghamton. There is no doubt
that thousands Of these stones that have
fallen to our planet since man arrived
here are messages from another planet.
II we lived on Mars and possessed the
scientific knowledge Of the people there,
we might easily send projectile to an
other planet. In fact, in the course of a
few hundred years more we may be
able to generate and SO control electric
force that we can throw projectile be-
yond the moons orbit, so that it would
either fall on that satellite or move to-
ward and fall upon another planet.
Although we have now no power to
send projectile 80 miles, yet if we
could control the electric force Of
thundercloud it would drive a 100
pound projectile beyond the earth S at
traction. Stones have been thrown 70
miles from the craters Of volcanoes
There are conditions when the earth
actually repels bodies by her own cleo
trio force, for I have seen meteors mov-
ing away from the earth The time is
coming when we will utilize this force
for aerial navigation, when ships as
large as the greatest now afoat will cir
cumnavigate the globe. It is by utiliz-
ing this force that birds are enabled to
soar about the earth S surface, and some
birds, like the condor, cannot fly at all
except over mountains, where the earth IS
