laying Christmas Gifts.

New York Post.
The ever-debatable question as to whether
Christmas gift should be useful or orna-
mental is again before us. Some mothers
save up their childrens needs and await
the holiday buying as the time to fill them.
The little extras of toilet that both girls
and boys like come well within the province
Of Christmas gifts; and wooden mittens
cardigan Jackets suits of clothes new shoes
and the like are welcome Christmas gifts for
the poor. A pretty new frock or hat is well
coined by any young girl, and small boy
just coming into maturer garments will rap
turously receive a first vest suit: gloves
ribbons. and handkerchiefs. too. are ALWAYS
acceptable; but utility need not always be
the chief note in the Christmas giving.

ity." This is repeated in the Criterion Of
Nov. 19. and in the Herald of Nov. 10. Mr..
Tesla, expressing the hope that adverse
criticisms have not shaken the faith OF q
journal in him. says: IF I feel certain of
anything, it is that / have given to the
world an invention which Will designate the
beginning of new epoch and profoundly
AFFECT the relations between nations"
These latest declarations of Mr.. Tesla
seem to have strained scientific confidence
in him TO the utmost and il is hard TO find
to-day any electric authority who does not
believe either that Mr.. Tesas imagination
mas run away with him. or that close APP
plication TO his laboratory has strained his
good Judgment.

HIS "PEACE" TORPEDO.


Supplementary to this. and appearing with
in a few days of it, was Mr.. Tesla's an
nouncement that he had abolished war by a
anew dirigible torpedo operated by what is
universally known among electricians as the
Marconi wireless system of biography or
in other words, he proposed to use Hartzian
waves. travelling through space, to affect, as
a relay "coherer' employed on a torpedo
boat, and thus close and operate the electri-
cal circuits on it. Guns were fired in this
way, however, at the Madson-square
Garden at the electrical exhibition last May,
and floating torpedoes blown up daily in the
done; and American navy officers expert
mented last year in the operation OF dis
tant machinery, with the Marconi system.
So that the idea is familiar and old in cleo
trical circles, but all whom the reporter
has interviewed say that the insuperaDle
difficulty remains of insuring the relaDlllty
OF the delicate coherer and of preventing
other adverse 'cOherers on the enemy
ships from frustrating At will the plans OF
these behind the attacking torpedo Boa.
Mr.. Tesla announced To the Herald Ihat
this invention must enforce universal
peace at once, and he described England as
reduced to nothingness and France as cor
respOndingly jubiant. In the Sun or NO

tablished reputation for your goods? Do
your patrons ask for your specialties
with the same confidence that they call
for Wilburs Chocolate or Royal Baking
Powder or Ivory Soap? Can you assure
yourself from their manner that they be-
lieve in you, in your goods--that you
really have firmly established a good
reputation with them for your goods?
All this is part of profitable publicity.

REPUTATIoN!-This is a wonderful
word and a powerful word when as
sociated with any business. Any man
can succeed who bears good reputation.
Anything can be successfully marketed
that bears good reputation. A man
makes reputation for himself; whether
that reputation be good or bad depends
entirely upon his conduct. Not SO with
the goods he sells; not so with his estab-
lishment. This man OF good reputation
must make reputation first for his es-
tablishment, second for his goods. 1t is
not enough to say ''money refunded" !"
Your good reputation is staked on every
sale; the good reputation Of your estab-
lishment must be maintained at all haz-
yards. "Money refunded" is all right
as far as it goes, but returning the money
paid over your counters for an inferior
article will not refund your lost reputa-
tion to you. The dissatisfied customer
will always regard you and your estab-
lshment with suspicion, notwithstand-
ing the refunded money. Advertise
your goods and sell your goods in good
faith. Don't try to fool anybody. One
lying advertisement will do you more
harm than thousand satisfactory trans.

ACCORDING to Colonel Joe Roney of
The Sudoy HeroId, L. Irving Handy and
Mister John Biggs made stirring ad-
dress to the thoroughbreds, men-about-
town and others at the newly opened
Mercantile Club on Saturday night. Here
it is as Joe prints it:
"The Mercantile Club has supplied a
want in Wilmington. 1t is social organ
ization, where all men are equal, and the
reception last night speaks well for the
club. H. &. South is president and
Harry A. Lewis is secretary. Some of
Wilmington's leading citizens are men,
bers.
"Mr. Handy commenced by saving
that We have met here tonight to ratlfy
the whole Democratic ticket, and every
man that is on the ticket can feel as
sured that he will get every Democratic
vote cast
"The next speaker, Mr.. Biggs, said
that in good government like ours
where the people govern themselves, it
is an important duty of every man to
himself and to his family to go TO the
polls and vote for the party he thought
was right
Recalling the reputation given the Mer-
camille Club by the Ere"ing Jouuol there
are many who would like to know
whether the club has degenerated to the
level of Biggs and Handy or whether
Handy and Biggs have been elevated to
The .jo"rnm status of the club or is the
article in The Hrrnld the work of a
printer who attended the opening of the
club. This matter must be decided be.

Handy have regulations to maintain.

"THE final count of the ballots of the
election in Kent for 1896 emphasizes,
if that were necessary, that the Demo-
Gratis have never stopped at anything in
order to snatch victory and to secure
the offices. 1t could be shown here by
the citation of facts that they have dur
ing the last thirty years, beginning at
the time of Thomas F. Bayard's entrance
into active politics, az successor to his
father in the United States Senate, COM
mitted in one emergency or another,
every crime on the calendar. During
that period they have made Delaware a
byword ard a reproach throughout the
nation. Every election witnessed its own
peculiar crime against the ballot, against
the laws and against personal rights.
They have stopped at nothing in getting
to the spoils. jerome B. Bell in The
Sunday Star.
Here is a specific charge which may
be summed up to mean "Thirty years Of
Political Prostitution in Delaware at the
hands of the Democratic Party under
the leadership of Thomas +. Bayard."
Jerome B. Bell opens the columns of
his newspaper to this charge and thereby
assumes personal responsibility for it..
No regard for the living No respect for
the dead?
This seems to be the pinnacle OF ire
sponsible journalism. 1t will have to 60
on record as such unless Jerome B. Bell
points out and specifically enumerates
the Political crimes committed by the
Democrats during the past thirty years
Leave Thomas +. Bayard out of the
enumel alton if possible, but print this
frightful calendar of crime if you dare
you must.
Omit no living man; suppress nothing;
shield neither the regulations of the liv-
ing nor the memory OF the dead if neces-
sary to complete your record of crime,
Mr.. Bell, but print it.
If the Democratic party in Delaware
represents thirty weary of criminal ssso.
citation it is time that ever ybody iden-
titled with it and its horrible history be
repudiated by everybody with sem,
blance of self respect.
Let us have the Truth, Mr.. Bell, and a
new order of things if necessary.

commit tied every crime on the calendar, "
