disposition to commit personal assaults
was not absent. Yesterday, however, the
proceedings were marked by a strict ad.
herence to the letter of the law, and the
work was orderly and Systematically
the certificates OF election duly signed.
No one was present but those who had
to be there, and there was no outside in
terference. The work was distasteful to
the Democratic members of the board,
and they had no heart in their long-de-
ferred public functions. Over their
heads, however, hung the order of the
court and at last the majesty of the law
was recognized by Delaware Democrats.
After the returns had been tabulated
the certificates were made out in due
form, and signed by every member of
the board, Republicans and Democrats
alike. The certificates were then de-
posted for safe keeping. The certificates
for the three county officers set forth
that the men named had been duly
elected, while the other certificates
merely gave the votes received By each
candidate. Thus the Democratic MEM
bers of the Kent county board of election
officers have now certified that every
Republican candidate in Kent county in
1896 was elected, although two years ago
they made out certificates declaring that
the Democratic candidates had been
elected. The difference between the two
meetings was that law and order pre-
vailed yesterday and lawlessness and
disorder prevailed on November 5, 1896.
In order to discoves jast the extent of
the robbery committed two years ago it
will be we'll to consult the following
table, which shows the vote recorded for
candidates for governor in 1896, the true
vote recorded yesterday, and the num-
ber of votes taken from each candidate
two years ago:

The vote as returned and certified to
by the Democratic coroner on November
5, 1896, was received on January II,
1897, by the General Assembly and duly
canvassed. By those figures Tunnell's
plurality over Hoffecker was given as
249 whereas the true figures, tabulated
Yesterday, give Hoffecker a plurality of
296 over Tunnel. This discrepancy is
carried throughout the entire ticket. The
magnitude of the highhanded act of the
Democratic members of the board of
election officers is thus easily discovered.
Justice has now been done in SO far as it
places upon record the fact that the Re-
publcans carried Kent county in 1896
while the Democratic candidates, with
the exception Of the three who stood for
county offices and five of the ten who
stood for delegates to the constitutional
convention Of 1897, were permitted to
take their seats. The fraudulent vote
for governor in Kent county, which was
canvassed by the Legislature, was passed
upon by six men in the House-Mr
Wilson taking his seat later-and one
in the Senate, who we're not entitled to
their seats. They were seated by the
respective bodies and the Democrats
could do nothing else, and be consistent,
except to give Governor TunneIl a plu-
raitv of the votes cast in Kent county.

Formation of Coal.

1t will be remarked that the deposits
of anthracite are found in very noun
famous regions. The difference be-
tween this hard and what are called
the soft GOALS was explained to me by
the late Prof. William B. Rogers When
the contraction of the earth's surface
took place by which the mountain
regions Of Pennsylvania and a few
other parts of the carboniferous series
were formed, these mountains were
thrown up. turned over and twisted in
such a manner as to cause the mate
rials of vegetable origin of which coal
is formed to become coked, or partly
coked, under extreme pressure. 1t is
due to that pressure and accompanying
heat that the anthracite Goals are hard
and virtually free from bitumen; while,
under other conditions, the bituminous
or semi-bituminous Goals are soft and
more friable, containing more bitumin-
ous elements. In some other parts of
the earth's surface where coal is found
the so-called brown Goals and lignites
have not been subjected to the measure
of heat under pressure sufficient to con-
vert them into true coal.-Edward At
kinSon, in Century.

HE LEARNED A LESSON.
She Was Sharp Young Woman and Made
the Facetious Lawyer Walk Home.

She Was a Sharp Young Woman and Made
the Facetious Lawyer Walk Home.
A spunky West Side young woman
gave budding attorney, who is some
times known as Smart Alec" Smith,
something to think about the other day.
And, as he was forced to walk down
town from far out West Madison street
way, he had plenty of time to ponder
the lesson. He was waiting for cable
car and Tipping half dollar in the air.
BY his side, also waiting for car, stood
all elegantly-dressed beautiful and, to
all appearances, honest and refined
young woman. Mr.. Smith was not per-
sopally acquainted with the elegantly
dressed, beautiful young woman, nor,
so far as known, was she with him.
Therefore, he kept Tipping the half
dollar in the air, regardless of her pres
ence, and catching it in his nimble
palm rs it descended.
By and by the expected car came
along and to stop. AS it stopped Law
yer Smith gave last flip to the half
dollar before getting on board. AS he
did so the beautifully dressed and beau
tiful young woman stepped forward,
preparatory to mounting the footboard.
Unfortunately she came within Mr..
Smiths sunlight, with the result that
his palm missed the descending half
dollar. The descending half dollar
ratified on the pavement and rolled un-
der the edge of the car. Then, whether
from pique or from sudden accession of
tacetiousness, Mr.. Smith did an pn-
usual thing. Grabbing up the half dol
lar, he followed the elegantly dressed,
beautiful young woman into the car,
and holding it out toward her. said:
"Excuse me, miss, was it you who
dropped this half dollar?"
The elegantly dressed, beautiful
young woman's face was suffused with
| blush.
For if it is your half dollar" con-
tinued Mr.. Smith, suavely, 81 take
pleasure in returning it to you"
"Well, answered the young woman,
her blush growing deeper, "well, l
don't know as it's my coin, but seeing
you are SO polite about it, guess can
handle it in my business"
And she gently transferred the 80
cent piece from Lawyer Smiths palm
TO her own.
The real joke of this story lies in the
fact that so cents was all the money
Lawyer Smith had with him, and that
he had to get off the car and walk to
his destination.-Ch Chicago Chronicle.

BLOOD POISONING.
A Nurses Experience.
She'd rather have one than three.

There are thousands Of people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost
beggared themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands Of others who first or
last have tried DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla and
found perfect healing. One Of these
others, Mrs. A. F. Taylor, OF Englevale,
N. OAK. relates the following experience:
"About two years ago, I nursed a lady
who was suffering and finally died) from
blood poisoning. I must have contracted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores OF ulcers,
break out on my person. doctored for
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines but, in
spite of all that could do, the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. At last, I purchased six bottles
ofDr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thinking would
give 1t thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, noticed a decided i'm
provement in my general health; my ap-
petite was quickened, and felt better
and stronger than I had for some time.
While using the second bottle, noticed

been taken, the ulcers were healed, the
skin sound and natural, and my health
better than il had been for years. have
been we'll ever since. had rather have
one bottle of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilia than
three Of any other kind"
This is but one example of the remedial
value OF Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla in all
forms OF blood disease. There is no other
blood medicine that cures SO promptly.
SO surely and so thoroughly. After nearly
half a century of test and trial II is the
standard medicine OF the world for all
diseases OF the blood. Sores. ulcers, boils,
tetter, rheumatism, scrofula and every
other blood disease is curable by DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla. The success OF this remedy
has caused many limitations TO be put on
the market. Imitation remedies work i'm
