TmE PENNSYLVANIA Railroad owns the
State OF Delaware. It dictates to the
people what laws the legislature snail
make and AZ present has its finger in the
genclaI-corpora,ion pic,now in process Of
baking. The best and most influential
men Of Tie state are in the pay Of this
mcrciIrss u;.liopoIy, and these men sol
ly for pccUmiary gain, work to impoycr>h
the state to please this railroad COM
pany.
A voice from Sussex county calls
aloud the sentiment Of the i'm
povcri.hcd families Of that see, ion.
and that sentiment is in favor Of
tie election Of Il Legislature that will
bring the brazcn railroad nIonupuIy To
tie terms OF the people. The echo can
be heard in New Castle and Kent.
Next November the railroad barons OF
the State can expect to see Legislature
chosen that will force them from their
tyranncal position.

Are They Good to Eat Uncookeds


Sarah Tyson Rorer, the famous food
expert, answered this question, mo,
except in the countries where they
grow"
Some one asked, What about Ger
cal Coffees %
Many of them are coffee and very
poor coffee at that, do not be deceived
by them. If it is true cereal coffee,
it is an excellent food drink" Mrs.
Rorer. herself, uses Postum because
she knows it to be the original, pure
Cereal Coffee, that is so widely and
grossly initiated by adulterated coffee
mixtures. She also knows from an
alysis that more genuine nourishment
is contained in a good hot cup Of Pos
tum than is generally found in the
balance of the breakfast.
A weeks use Of Postum will make
one feel that elastic thrill of life that
one remembers made existence bliss
in the boyhood days, and those delights
of health come back again If we feed
the body on properly selected food
such as is found in Postum.
Grocers sell Postum.

RED CROSS SOCIETY.
Sacramento Women Are to Form a
Branch on Tuesday.

The women of Sacramento are to
have an opportunity of manifesting
their patriotism and solicitude for the
welfare of the men who go to the front
to fight the nations battles.
On Tuesday next at 2:30 o'clock p. M,
there will be a meeting of women at
Pythian Hall for the purpose of form
ing a branch of the Red Cross Society
of California, the headquarters of which
are in San Francisco.
What the Sanitary Commission did
for the soldiers Of the Union during the
civil war the Red Cross Society has
been doing Of late years on the battle
fields of the world. Miss Clara Barton's
Red Cross workers have been as min
listering angels to the men in the field,
and in the war that is now on between
this country and Spain there Will be
much to do.
Through the machinery of this very
thorough organization the women OF
the country can do a great deal to les
sen the hardships and sufferings OF the
men in the field. All they require is the
| opportunity, and this is to be afforded
| by allying themselves with the Red
Cross Society.
| The plan of the society's work will
be explained at the meeting to be held
at Pythian Castle next Tuesday after
noon. There should be a very large
attendance Of ladies', as the object is
one that appeals not only to their pa
triotism but to their generous. sympa-
thetic natures.

Frank Griffin was especially good and
loudly applauded. The piano duo by
Mrs. Turrell and Hugo Mansfeldt was
rendered in particularly artistic man

however, that was not thoroughly en-

Miller, the incoming President, pre-
sented Mrs. William E. Briggs, the re-
firing President, with handsome bou-
Quet Of La France roses, and read the
following letter from the Board of Di-
rectors:
Dear Mrs. Briggs: Your friends and
| co-workers of the Executive Board of
the Saturday Club feel that they
must voice the sentiments of the entire
club in a few warm words to you on
this our last meeting under your lead
ership. During the three years that
we have enjoyed your direction of our
affairs our club has steadily prospered;
our membership has increased; our mu-
sical standard has been raised, and in
every way we feel that we are indebted
| to you for your able administration of
| the duties of your Office. 1t is with
the greatest regret that we bow to
your decision to lay down for time
the cares of President. We hope that
you know the affectionate sincerity of
all we say, and realize that we leave
much unsaid. Will you accept from
your friends in the board these flowers
as a sweet reminder of harmonious
hours spent together with you in work
for the Saturday Club? We will also
ask you to join us all in an informal
hour of social enjoyment, marking
pleasantly the closing of this year.

DESERTED HIS FAMILY.
Officer Healy Would Like to Find
Charles Kuhn.

Officer Dan Healy of the Society fol-
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
is looking for man named Charles F.
Kuhn, who has been employed in a life
insurance office in this city, and lived
at 1901 Second street.
Healy says Kuhn skipped out some
days ago, deserting his wife and four
children and leaving them absolutely
destitute. One of the children, which
was about six weeks old, died day be-
fore yesterday. There was no food in
the house, and the children were badly
in need of clothes, although their faith
er received a good salary.
So complete was the destitution OF
the family that when the undertaken
went to get the body Of the dead child
there was no light in the house, there
being no money to buy either kerosene
or candles. The Howards have fur
nished groceries to the family and Mrs
Simon, Dan Healy and r. A. May are
trying to supply their other wants, and
it is hoped that the necessary aid will
be given.

DISEASE IN STAINS ARMY.
How Her Soldiers in Cuba Are Being Moved
 Down.

From the New York Sun.
 Dr. John T. Nagle, chief of the bureau of municipal statistics, has received from Dr. W. F. Bruner, sanitary inspector of the United States marine hospital service, his report concerning the death rate among the Spanish soldiers in Cuba as we'll as the availability of the hospitals there in case our soldiers invade the island. Dr. Brun- CT says there are five hospitals in Havana, of which the largest, called Alfonso XIII, beds, stands on an eminence in the out skirts of the city. The equipment of this hospital, which was built by a Spanish engineer with an American education, is very nearly perfect The surface drain age is complete, and there are ample fa- cilities, Dr. Bruner says, for caring for yellow fever and smallpox patients.
 The Hospital Quartet de Madeira, iI Jesus Maria parish, Dr. Bruner says, is q poorly construqted building with poom for 1000 beds, which could only be used for smallpox and yellow fever cases. The Beneficia hospital, a stone building with 2,000 beds, is even worse, and the report says it would be unwise to use it for any patients Dr. Bruner characterizes the San Ambrosia hospital, near the Talia- piedro wharf, as the filthiest building in Havana, and says it's 300 beds could not be used by United States troops. The two hospitals in Regia, which both were
