ParSnip Complexion

1t does not require an expert to de-
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the sallow parsnip-colored complexion
indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or a burning
or scalding in passing it, if after pass
ing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if
it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has a brick dust deposite or
strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may be led to gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, Inflammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring the
drawing of the urine with instruments,
or may run into Bright's Disease, the
most dangerous stage of kidney
trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, is a positive
remedy for such diseases. It's reputa
tion is worldwide and it is easy to ge
at any drug store that no one neeC
suffer any length of time for want o
it.

DELAWARE COLLEGE.

The new Mechanical Hall at Della
ware College, built to take the place
of the machine shops burned last April,
is now finished, equipped, and occu-
pied by the Department of Mechanical
and Electrical Engineering. All the
instruction as well as the practical
work of the Department will hereafter
be carried ON in the new building.
Mechanical Hall is brick building
GO by "a feet, and two stories high, with
a one-storied rear extension. 18 feet
square, for a boiler house. The whole
lower floor of the building is occupied
by the machine shop. The second
floor contains the electrical laboratory,
the draughting room, two recitation
rooms and the Office of the Depart
ment.
Great pains have been taken to
equip the machine shop in such fashion
as to meet all the needs of the students.
The equipment includes one % horse
power boiler, two drill presses, a shap-
ing machine, five word working lathes,
six carpenter benches, each with its
proper outfit of tools, and 15O-light
dynamo with switchboard and appli-
ances. All of this apparatus is in daily
use by the classes of the Mechanical
Department.
The draughting room, 15x40 feet is
abundantly lit from the north. The
Electrical Laboratory, 15x3O feet, is
properly equipped for electrical testing
and experiment. The class rooms,
10 by 1S feet each, are completely fur
nished, and heated and we'll lit.
The heating plant for nearly all oi
the College buildings is located on the
ample cellar of Mechanical Hall. This
cellar, and all parts of the building are
so constructed as to reduce to a mini
mum the danger from fire.
By the transfer of the Mechanical
and Electrical Department from its
class room and draughting room il

left vacant and available for othel
uses. One of the rooms will in tim'

SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

America has set a new pace for the
diplomatic world, by ignoring all of
the historical circumlocution methods
and conducting our diplomacy on an
everyday, common sense business
basis.
The country is informed that the en-
ergy of Mr.. Oscar S. Straus, U. S.
minister to Turkey, has succeeded in

permits in Asia Minor, to foreigners,
but he doesn't seem to have succeeded
in making the Sultan revoke his re-
fusal to pay for American missionary
property destroyed by Turkish mobs.
1t is estimated that by the time all
the incidentals are paid, the war with
Spain will have cost the United Stat es

The CoLoRED PEOPLE. Says the
Daily RepU6lican of Wilmington:
The EUeTy Evening in its negrophobia
attack on the colored voters of Della
ware has fairly outdone itself, and has
failed to make the party capital out of
the affair that was intended by those
who wished to stir up race differences
in our midst. The colored race is
treated with respect and consideration
in Delaware, where his color once were
slaves, but now thanks to the Almighty
they are free and enjoy all of the priv
ileges of this free government of ours.
We can't see how the colored people
can read the ECery EUening or any
paper of its class, which by its course
has invited any and all kinds of violence
to suppress the negro vote in Della
ware. This is part of a campaign in
augurated by the Baltimore San to
help keep the South solid. 1t has
begun in North and South Carolina.
The Virginia Democrats are ready to
commit murder and so are other Demo-
Gratis. There will be no murder in
Delaware, for our white men are too
numerous for the Democrats. This
encourages our colOred men to fight
for themselves, which they rarely do
