AN EXCLUSIVE COLONY.
Employees Of the Mig Powder MilIs of
the Du Points Have Even Their
own Graveyard.

Those who work in the Du Pont pow
der mills on the Brandywine, in Del
aware, form a queer colony, says the
New York Press. They are all Irish
people whose ancestors came to this
country when the Du Points started in
business and went TO work for them.
For generations the Du Points and these
people have passed their positions from
father to son. Like their employers,
they intermarry and are very exclusive.
They live on what are called Du Points
banks, which are about three miles
from Wilmington. The people of Will
mington know hardly anything about
them, for they have few outside ac-
quaintances, and their visits are not fire.
quent. The hills about the banks are
the highest in Delaware, and it is at the
base of them that these workers live.
The town is lighted at night by the
electric plant in the works. The people
hav their own places of amusement, the
principal being the Brandywine club.
which has finer building than any club
in Wilmington. They also have dances
and theatricals frequently. Nearly
every one of them has lost a relative by
an accident in the works. They have
their own graveyard, too.

THE INvINcIBLE ARMADA.
Some Historical Points About SPAIN,
Formidable But stOrm-VreclSed
Fleet.

A correspondent of the New York
Press recalls the history of the "In-
yincible Armada" which sailed from
Lisbon, Spain, against England in 1888.
That fleet was composed of 129 large
vessels, carrying 1926 soldiers, s,46O
sailors and about 1000 slaves as rovers.
It was most formidable fleet, one OF
the most formidable fleets Of the time.
A storm in Spanish waters DESTROYED
several vessels of the "Invincibie Ar
mada" and the rest put into port for
repairs. When everything was in readi-
ness again the feet started and en-
tered the English channel, sailing along
in the form of a half moon, nearly
seven miles broad. They were met by
the English fleet, consisting of 80 ships,
which had been increased by the addi-
ton of merchantmen and privateers to
about $50 vessels, under Lord Howard.
of Efingham, Drake and others.
They fought. And it soon appeared
that the great Armada was anything
but 'invincible," for Drake sent eight
blazing ireships into the midst of the
Spanish fleet. In terrible CONSERVATION
the Spaninrds tried to get out to sea,
and so became dispersed. The English
pursued, storm came on and drove the
Spanish vessels among the rocks and
shoals. The "invinvible" fleet, with
loss Of 80 great ships and 10000 men,
defeated and disgraced, sailed home
again.

WISE PARROT.
In Captivity, Yet IT Lays Eggs Only
ON Coed Friday and Easter
Sunday.

Here are two occurrences far re-
moved from the ordinary. The truth is
vouched for by local papers in the
neighborhood where they are said to
have taken place:
In Ironton, o., Mr.. w. H. Horton, a
well-known citizen, is the proud DOS
SCISSOR of a parrot that lays eggs in cap
tivity. This of itself is said to be re-
markable, as these tropical beauties get
out of the egg-laying habit when Gagged.
But this bird did more. A year ago she
laid an egg on Good Friday and another
on Easter Sunday. That was all. This
year, remembering the day and date.
she did the same thing. Just how She
kept track without an almanac is the
wonder. She will be watched next year.
and If the same thing happens she will
be looked upon as a marvel, indeed.
Down near Evansville they had a
thunderstorm a week or two ago. A
lightning stroke shivered a tree near
the house of DR.. Henderson, who lives
near the village of st. Philip. 1t not
only shattered the tree, but it broke
every pane of glass in the house. Some
thing like 1876 new lights of glass will
be needed to make the house Just as It
was before the lightning played its
prank. So severe was the shock that
the worshipers in a church hard by
thought an earthquake had added its
terrors to the thunderstorm then rag

PAY OF TRAINED NURSES.
Their Duties Are Sometimes Very Ar
duOus, and Continuous Work Is
Next TO Impossible.

The average sum paid to pupil nurses
is ten dollars month for the first year
and $14 q month during the second
year, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil
in the Ladies' Home Journal. The re-
muneration varies in different institu-
tions. In a few training schools the
nurses are paid nothing. After gradua-
tion head nurses in hospital wards re-
ceive from $50 to $40 per month; SUI
perintendents from $500 to 1000 year
District nurses, who are employed by
various churches, societies, and some
times by private benevolence TO work
among the sick poor, receive about the
same salary as a head nurse in a hospi-
tai, exclusive of board.
Private nurses receive from SIS to SOS
a week. They have to pay the rent Of
a room to use as a headquarters. and
their earnings are more or less pre-
carious. 1t is rare for n nurse to be en-
ployed all the time, and her work is SO
arduous that it would be impossible for
ler to stand the strain of continuous
work

On account Of the bad weather, the
men who are now in the United States
service have had very little rifle prac-
tice, but it is hoped to drill them.more
in this respect before they are ordered
away.
Most of the men were pleased yester-
day morning when they heard that the
regiment had been assigned to coast
defence duty. 1t is believed they will
be divided between Fort Delaware and
Lewes.
Satisfactory progress is being made in
the direction Of recruiting, and last
night it was stated that there were
mere than 500 men in camp. 1t is be-
lleved the regiment will be in shape to
move by next Monday.
Governor Tunnel yesterday issued
commissions to the officers Of the four
companies in the First Battalion. On
the strength of these, United States
commissions will be issued and all Of
the officers will retain their positions.
Captain Curtis, of this city, who is
the recruiting officer appointed by Gov

General Blanco must have been as

under date of April 2S, says that the
Spaniards there were ait that time cele-
brating the capture of Mobile Boston.
Charleston and Pensacola, and that in
honor Of the victory, Blanco was giving
a big banquet TO the army and navy
while the city was gaily decorated and
thousands of jubilant Spaniards were
marching in professions.
This reminds us of the election in
Delaware when Major General James
Z II. Wilson was chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee. On the night
OF election day he sent to Chairman
Carter,of the Republican National Com
mittee, telegram announcing that the
Republicans had swept the state from
Brandywine to Baltimore. To this
Chairman Carter Immediately replied:
MY Dear General: congratulate
you upon your glorious victory. Guard
the RETURNS"
BY the time that this reached General
Wilson he had discovered that he had
made a big mistake and that the Demo-
Gratis had carried Delaware by substan-
tial majorities He gave the telegram 10
Secretary Hugh c. Browne for safe
Keeping, and it has ever since been re-
sarded as a standing joke in the Regu-
