HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
.sonfng and it is interesting t.
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prioi
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrof1la then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to lie the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tices of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-''Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. AT this
writing none of the Kings i'll our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo" There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula - and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
ous preparation can only be OBJ
tained of DR. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

THE sun AND THE PEOPLE
This Newspaper Presents q Few
Plain Facts Showing It's
Good Faith.
THE TRUTH AND NOTHING ELSE
A Resume of the Years Work
on the Only Purely Local -
journal Published In
the State of
Delaware. .-

The Sun is one year old.
Looking back ward is seldom profitable
employment. Things that have hap
pened and are done are matters OF his
tory and history s often stupid. Thi
is history making era and newspaper,
chronicle to-day the events which 20 t.
make up the history of Yesterday Somt
newspapers, like some histories, are more
accurate and complete than others.
A newspaper that publishes the news
and the whole news is something OF q
rarity. A newspaper that not only
prints the news bnt stands by it's publ.
cations is even more 80.
THE Sun does this.
It does even more. 1t will advocate
and has advocated the right in each and
every case. The evil doer cannot coun,
on his social position or his fnancia
solidity for immunity.
In this connection reminiscent glance
into those pages which constitute years
of The Sun will be of interest.
On October 25, 1897, the first issue ol
The Sun was printed. No blare of trum.
pets had heralded its advent. Even the
newspapers had published only scant
and vague reports of the new paper. Nc
horde of brazen-cheeked oily.tongued
canvassers had swarmed through the
history streets, and yet THE Sun came.
Its first achievement of special interest
and one which probably created more
widespread and intense interest than any
story ever published in Delaware was the
publication of the facts concerning the
robbery of the First National Bank OF
Dover.
Here was the story of a bank, the teller
Of which had stepped out, and whose
failure to return was explained by the
fact that the bank was short $iO7 900, a
sum $1,000 in excess of its capital stock.
The teller left on May 80, 1897, and
tl.e above paragraph was the sum and
substance Of the newspaper reports OF
the day.
On June 2, 1897, the local representa-
tive of the New York Journal published
an incomplete and wholly unsatisfactory
story intimating that the bank had not
been robbed by the absent teller but that
others were implicated in the steal.
From that date to December 6, 1897,
this story passed unnoticed. The thing
was history and thing of yesterday.
On December 5, jerome B. Bell in the
Sunday Star published the following
paragraph:
"The Farmers Bank at Georgetown is
holding worthless paper upon which
money has been raised to buy Demo-
cratic votes for the last ten years."
The Sun on December 6, reprinted tt g
paragraph and added the following:
1.-THE raid upon the First National
Bank, at Dover, Del, was led by men
who now hold high offices in the Federal
Government; an ex-militiaman drew
$l7 800 out OF the Institution, notwith-
standing the fact that he never deposited
a cent therein. The money said to have
been stolen by Teller William N. Boggs
was used by this organized gang in
bucket-shop speculation and poker play
ing"
The sun., 1898-10-25

The statements printed above refer tc
two Of the best known banking institu.
tions in Delaware. .......
Mr.. Jerome B. Bell, of The Sunday
iStdr stands sponsor for the first para.
graph, and will doubtlese be glad tc
prove the truth of his assertion to the
entire satisfaction of the managers Of the
Farmers Bank in the proper court
The publisher of The Sun assumes the
entire responsibility for the statement
concerning the First National Bank.
THE Sun stood for its assertion and
proved it. ....... ..
Promptly, without malice, with sim
pie and direct regard for the honor and
probity of banking institution, THE Sun
published the proofs of its assertion.
Week after week the pages of this paper
contained names, dates, facts and figures.
Its bold assertion from week to week
called forth wild and weird howls from
every newspaper in the State.
A deluge OF ridicule was poured
through the columns of every publica-
tion printed in Delaware. The ridic-
ulous side of the proposition lasted but a
short while.
The Sun meant business, and pro.
ceetled to make good it's charges. Deri-
sion changed to fear, and an avalanche
of abuse decended upon the Publisher.
1t made no difference. Steadily, surely,
with unimpeachable accuracy, the names
of the men, the amounts, the dates and
the proof appeared in the columns Of
The Sun.
Threats were made by men wild with
terror. Personal violence was attempted.
One assertion The Sun made on De,
cember 6, which it adhered to: civilian
n. Boggs, this missing teller of the First
National Bank of Dover, DEL, will come
back and tell the truth" He did re-
turn He told the truth.
At last the story was told and all the
horror OF it dawned upon tie people OF
the State.
Here was National Bank, the reposi-
tory of the peoples money, robbed not by
one man, but by on organized band Of
conspirators of whom the missing teller
was but one. ..
The men who engineered this con-
spracy were not unnoticed, obscure
citizens. They were men who stood high
in political circles, who represented the
people in county, State and national
affairs. Men whose names had for years
been connected with the highest offices
in the gift of the people were the guilty
ones. i. E.
THE Sun kept its promise and on the
very dav that the story was complete
the missing teller voluntarily returned.
William N. Boggs gave himself up.
The mon implicated in the steal were
arrested. The Grand Jury found indict-
ments against ten men. +,
Two OF these, Ezekiel T. Cooper and
Thomas $. Clark, are serving out their
sentences in the Trenton Fenitentiary,
and third, Richard Rollins kenney,
Junior United States Senator rom Della
ware, has had one mis'rlal and is now
under heavy bonds for new trial.

JONES TAKEN TO MARION.
He stilI Insists That He Is "a Victim
of Mistaken Identity.


Americas, Ga, Oct. 28.-Oliver P. Jones
or L. P. Dawson, whoever he may be, will
be taken from the Americas Jail to-mor-
row and carried to Marion county to an
swer to the charge of murder.
Jones, or Dawson, as he still insists he
is. was brought here two weeks ago from
Arkansas, and as the jail in Marion was
in Sumter county jail until court conven-
ed this week.
The story of Jones flight from Marion
county eighteen years ago after the killing
of Farmer Milton Melton, his arrest in
Arkansas two years ago, and the long
fight in the courts over being brought back
to Georgia, is well remembered.
Jones is an intelligent looking white
man. apparently SO or 40 years of age
and was merchandising in a little town
i'm Arkansas when discovered two years
ago by citizen of Marion county, Geor-
gia, who was travelling out there and who
pointed the alleged fugitive out to the
officers. Jones insists still that his name
is l.. p. Dawson; that he is a Pennsylvan-
ian by birth, and that the only time he
was ever in Georgia was upon a short
business trip to Savannah many years ago
He says his arrest is a case OF mistaken
Identity, which fact will be established at
the right time.
People here who knew Oliver P. Jones
at the time of the murder of old Farmer
Metson are uncertain whether or not the
prisoner is really Jones, though the sheriff
Even should he be Jones the belief is ex-
pressed that he will never be convicted
now of the crime committed eighteen years
ago.

CALLED MAYOR PRICE A LIAR.
REV. LEE WILL BE INTERVIEWED
AT MACON TODAY.

In His Prohibition speech Last
Night He Sailed Into the Admins

ton Fight Growing Warm.
Macon, Ga, Oct Z.-The prohibition
fight is becoming interesting.
Rev. Mr.. Lee is here conducting a Sc
ries of tent meetings, and tonight he sail
ed into the city administration with
vengeance. He said the Mayor was liar,
and paid him and the aldermen number
Of such compliments, and also said he was
the most corrupt mayor in America.
The Morning News correspondent after
ward saw Mayor Price, who said: Il will
go with some of the church people to Mr..
Lee tomorrow and have an accounting
with him. I don't know what shall say
or do but 1 think l can induce him to
apologize or take back what he said to-
night. The reverend gentleman is talking
mighty fast"
A few days ago a man named Morse
stood in front of Long Bros. grocery and
saloon Whenever a man would enter or
come out of the place, Morse would ex-
claim in a loud voice: "Ah, sir, you are
going to hell" The police arrested Morse,
and afterwards Morse complained to the
prohibitionists. A committee, consisting
of w. G. Solomon and Rev. R. r. White,
waited on the man. but went away SEEM
ingly satisfied that Morse's arrest was not
improper. 1t was in commenting on this
affair that Mr.. Lee tonight took occasion
to denounce the Mayor. Mayor Price says
he can't understand why his adminlstra-
ton should be assailed by the prohibition
lists when nearly every member of his
board of aldermen is an active member
of some church The thing is growing
warm.

TOM BABBITT CAUGHT.

Officers Capture Him in Alabama.
Now in the Columbus Jail.
Columbus, Ca, Oct 23.-Tom Rabbit,
the slayer of ]. H. Germany, was captur-
ed this afternoon at Joe Hoods ferry,
twelve miles north of the city, on the
Alabama side Of the river. He evidently
intended to cross the ferry to the noun
tains of Harris county. The capture was
effected by John Moon, marshal Of Phoe-
nix City, and Seab Jones.
Rabbit protested not to know Germany
was dead, and consented to return to
Georgia without requisition, arriving here
in charge of the officers at o'clock.
Hood, at whose house Babbitt was
caught, said he knew nothing about the
killing till the officers came for Bah
bitt. The prisoner declines to talk about
the crime.
Germany's brother arrived from Rich
land this afternoon, almost crazed with
grief. He had a strange presentment sew
eral days that something would go
wrong with his brother. A Columbus man
who was in Richland Friday was asked
by Germany several times if he was sure
his brother was all right.
Germany's funeral occurred this after
noon, and was very sad one. The dead
man was specially popular with the work
ing classes, who turned out at the fu-
neral en- masse.
Germanys wife and two children are
left entirely destitute. The debt about
which the crime was committed amounted
to only 90 cents.
