They have rather odd ways of doing
things in England. There, as is well
known women do electioneering work OF
the most pronounced type. 1t would not
be considered womanly, perhaps, for
them to hold Offices themselves.
thereby placing themselves under the
necessity Of making speeches, solicit
ing votes. and the like but it is perfect
~ proper that they should do both these
things in behalf of a husband. father or
brother. A wife may face a mob of
drunken rioters. or peddle out her kisses
TO blacksmiths and bricklayers, if that
will get votes for her husband Such
is the British masculine mind that moth
ing is considered too precious to use in
the forwarding Of its ambition and the
development Of its powers. In this coun-
try while women are more and more
mnglng with men in the industrial
world. and even taking to politics when
they happen to like it. the candidate

and it speaks well for the home-loving
disposition in the American man that
this is one Of the best cards which a can
didate can play-to be irreproachable in
his home life. a family man, a tender
husband and father. There was rather
a warm campaign in England not long
ago, and the Primrose Leagues and
other blossomy feminine factors in Eng
lish politics were out in fun force. Some
Of the women who toiled through the
mud-slinging and rioting of a London
election were peeresses, and brought
all their gentleness of breeding and
daintiness of manner to their task. AS
a result, one of the labor leaders call
ed them scented Deilahs.'' In this
country any man who called lady a
scented Delilah would be liable to a call
from an irate father or brother with a
stick i'm hand, but they did not seem TO
mind that i'm England. All that they did
to the labor leader was to invite him to
reception. give him tea and try to con-
vert him by being very nice to him.
Such is British electioneering.

SOARING SPANISH SAILORS.
Panic Produced by a Discharge
of Flintlock Muskets.

Wilmington, Del, March ALARMED
over what they have learned about the
agitation in this country over the destruc-
ton of the battleship Maine in Spanish
waters, the crew of fifteen of the Spanish
tank steamer Ciudad De Ruis, now lying
at Marcus Hook, will not venture ashore.
All of them are Spaniards.
The steamer is commanded by Capt
Seville, also Spaniard, and is now lying
in the Delaware about 200 yards from
shore, awaiting chance to get in to
load a cargo of oil from the Atlantic Re-
filming Company's works at the Hook. The
Ciudad De Ruis arrived off Marcus Hook
on Sunday. That afternoon the captain
came off the vessel and remained ashore
for several hours. IL is the custom with
the crews of the various vessels. which
have to wait for a chance to load at the
oil works, to come ashore for an outing,
and when the crew OF the Ciudad De Ruis
failed to put In appearance. there was
much speculation as,to the reason. Sever
al young men of the town planned to
scare the Spaniards. Late Monday night
the young men went down along the
shore close to where the steamer lay,
and. with six big heavy flint locks, fired
one volley into the air. The noise made
by the guns was almost like that OF
cannon, and aroused the sailors from their
hunks. The Spaniards appeared on the
deck with lanterns and hurried 10 and
fro as though they feared the ship had
been blown UPS Two of them jumped
into the river during the excitement. Yes
terday the police authorities of the town
learned of the incident. and detailed an
officer to patrol the district in the vicini-
ty. The police authorities are apprehen-
sive of an attempt on the part OF some
the steamer and haul down the Spanish
flag which flies at her stern.

The bargain counter in Armstrong;
cruiser shop i'm England is scene OF
wild excitement in these days The whole
world seems to have gone mad and got
ready to fight. II is said that not less
than six nations have shown a DISPOSE
ton to bid upon all of the ships now
building in Great Britain. Spain has sue
ceeded I'm getting three, according to Eng
lish accounts, and none according to 9TH
ers. Commander Brownson, of our Navy,
has gone abroad TO see what he can do for
us, and it. lis expected that the japanese
government will let us have the two ships
building for her in America. In the COM
petition going on in the worlds markets,
We have a decided advantage over Spain,
because we have the cash in hand to buy
whatever We want. while the Spaniards
are always in deep water. None of the
great shipyards of England or Europe
would trust them for day or a farthing.
Consequently they can do business on
a spot cash basis only, whereas we have
the best kind of credit.

ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN.
He Has Not Been Advised of His
Creation as Cardinal.

New York, March st has been per-
sistently rumored that Archbishop Corri-
gan, of this city, was to be made a cardi-
nal at the next consistory, in June, and
yesterday this rumor was revived by a
dispatch from Rome to the effect that the
Pope had decided to confer red hats upon
four foreign prelates, and that it was
absolutely certain that Archbishop Corri-
gan was to be one of them.
1t was the intention of the Pope, the
dispatch also said, to create Archbishop
Ireland a cardinal in pectore. The Pope
ii was said. had heretofore postponed this
action because of the peculiar situation in
the American hierarchy.
The Archbishop was not at home The
Rev. Father Myhan. his secretary, said
Those things will not come to us i'm the
form of a rumor. They will come direct
from the Holy Father. We will be the
first to know about it. Up to the present
time we have received no dispatch or
news TO the effect that the Archbishop
will be made al cardinal"

When Kapka was discovered. several

There can be no national honor without individ-

ages the one must inevitably discourage and

Uses of DR.. Lewis n. Elliott. at Rockville
Center. early yesterday morning. The
child was dressed only in a gray knit
shirt and black stockings. A pair of
white mittens lay beside the body.
Coroner George S. Smith, of Hampstead,
had the body moved to an undertaking
establishment. where an autopsy was
made. Finger marks showed on the face
and neck of the child. One hand was
entirely covered with mud, and also the
knees. which leads to the conclusion that
the child was placed in the building when
alive. The body was in an excellent state
of preservation. A cap. n dress and shoes
were found by John Lamb in the streets
few days ago. They had been saturated
with carbolic acid.
