The steamboat Endeavor has started
on regular trips between Milford and
Philadelphia, in cunnsction with tho
steamer New Delaware. This has been
made possible by reason of tho i'm
provement of Mispillion Creek, which
heretofore has not heen navigabls for
largu craft. The shoa at the mouth OF
the creek have been cleared away,
thereby giving sufficient water H.

Statistics have been preaented, tho
Philadelphia Record shows, which
demonstrates the complete beauty of
Protection in practice. They show
that during the eleven II onths Of lhiH
fiscal year ended May 3lst, tho imports
Of wool amounted to 1913, 6Ss, 100 pounds,
against 3l2, 0i3 i3J pounds of free wool

Tho Lewes Pilot has this suggestion
to make with respect to the plan of the
Democratic campaign in Delaware this
year:
The Democratic party will enter upon
the approaching campaign upon II plat
form OF economy IN state and county
management, in the presenting of
acceptable candidates for the suffrage
of the people, and for purity OF elections.
On these issues it expects tho full party
support and the support also of tho
friends of these measures who have been
opposed to the methods in use in the
past, but were compelled TO accept con
ditiuns they could not approve, hut now
welcome the opportunity to redeem tho
good name OF the State and zee to it
that the provisions Of the new Consti-
tuition are not an empty sound Of words
but are mandatory and are to be faith
fully observed.
Those suggestions are good. Such a
course would be infinitely better than
that of wrocking tho party for the lost
cause Of free silver coinage. There will
be grave local issuea at stake in the
coming campaign in Delaware. For,
even should the Republican factions
unite, the character of the faction that
will he sure to dominate the party or
gani2ation is woll-knowu. It will ba
this same old corrupt combination thai
will look to crooked methods for victory.
Tho Democratic party, with honest
principles emu honest candidates, can
successfully oppose this combination.
A united Demoulatic party can defeat
tho Republican party united under suct
leadership. But a divided Democratic
party, or Democratic party wrongl!
directed, would leave the door open to {
triumph of the worst eloments Of Ru
puhlicanism in Delaware.

A $4,000 MORTGAGE.
Suit to ForecIose on the Allen Sur
gical In stitute.

In the Superior Court yesterday a suit
was brought by the Berkshire Life Insur-
ance Company against Robert G. Harseim
and others to foreclose a $4,000 mortgage
on the H. r. Allen National Surgical In
stitute of this city. The defendants named
in the complaint are Robert G. Harseim
and wife, Horace r. Allen and wife, Lulu
H and James T. Wright, Mary Allen Tay-
lor and William F. Taylor, Frederick M.
and Nellie Allen Ayres, and H. r. Allen,
jr., and wife.
The complaint AYERS that in May 1893,
Horace r. Allen executed his note to the
Berkshire Life Insurance Company for $75.-
600, payable four years after date. The note
was to draw per cent interest after ma
turity and per cent. prior to maturity. 1t
is claimed the note is now due and unpaid
except that interest has been paid to the
first day of June, 1898. The complaint shows
that on the date of the execution of the
note H. r. Allen and Harriet E. Allen
gave a mortgage on the Allen Surgical In
stitute to secure the loan. 1t agreed that
the Aliens were to insure the property for
$4,000 and deliver the policy to the plaintiff,
to be held as collateral securely until the
Indebtedness secured by the mortgage was
paid. 1t was further agreed that if the
makers of the note failed to keep the agree
ment as to the insurance the plaintiff was
to procure the policy and all money paid in
premiums was to be added to the debt Sc
cured by the mortgage.
The plaintiff AYERS that it did procure the
policy and paid a premium of $562. so on the
same: This sum, it is averred, has been
added to the general debt 1t is shown that
on Dec. 81, 1895, the Aliens conveyed the
surgical institute property to Silas M Shep-
ard as trustee, and that Mr.. Shepard in
January, 1898, conveyed the property to
Robert Harseim, the conveyance being made
subject to the plaintiffs mortgage. The
plaintiff is asking for a judgment for $85,0OO
and asks that its claim be held prior to the
claim OF any and all Of the defendants
who have any interest in the property 1t
pointed to collect the rents and profits that
may accrue from the business of the insti-
tute and apply the same on the debt. 1t is
rendered in favor of the plaintiff the
property be sold and the mortgage satisfied

day came announcements from several
cities inclosing plans for delegations coming
to the city. Buffalo, which is a strong can
didate for next years meet, will send one
hundred men in uniform, with a consign-
ment of fireworks which will be set off dur
ing the progress of the middle-distance
races. Boston, which also has wedge in

cation, while Terre Haute announces the
pilgrimage of one hundred men from the
banks of the Wabash, headed by the Ring
gold Band.
Chairman Foltz, Of the racing board has
issued invitations to prominent bicycle men,
both manufacturers and club men, to act as
judges with members of the racing board.
Albert Mott, chairman Of the National Rae
ing Board, will in all probability be the ref
cree for the big meet, although he has so
far discouraged his own candidacy in favor
of President Potter. Many men connected
with the L. A. W., however, think this plan
is a bad one, as it would tend to belittle the
head of the l.. A. w AS President Potter
is also averse to serving, it is about settled
in Mr. Motifs favor.

and it's effect on Indianapolis. said: There
has never been an occasion which has

WILLING FOR LEAGUE TO BREAK.
Indianapolis Wants to Join the Big
Ball Show.

According to a story told yesterday, by
man close to the baseball management in
this city, there is something more being
considered at the Western League meeting
in Chicago than the shortening of the sea-
son. indianapolis, while one of the best
backed teams in the country, is ready for
the League to quit business. While not
openly advocating disarmament by the clubs
in body, such move would be welcome
to the club officials at this time for several
reasons. The person offering this informal
ton argues after this manner: Cleveland
is ready to drop out Of the National League
and the only available towns as her success
sorS are, at present, occupied by Western or
Eastern League teams. According to the
terms of the protection Ontract, to which
the National League is a party, no National
League or other team can be located in a
during the life of that body. Indianapolis is
logically the successor of Cleveland and the
officials of both teams are willing to make
the deal, but, as in the case of Milwaukee
and Detroit, the Western League is an in
surmountable barrier as long as it remains
intact Thus several teams, strong enough
outwardly true to their obliga tions, ready
to quit business at once if the League dis
bands In such an emergency; the territory
leagues property and, of course, Indian
apolis is free ground for the transfer of the
Cleveland club. A simple shortening of the
season, however, will not suffice, and Presi-
dent Colt will combat any such move as in
that case the League practically remains
intact for next year, and no matter how
much Messrs. Colt and Robson desired to
transfer the club here, the League would
refuse TO allow it and the National League
would be compelled TO uphold it. Therefore,
it is limited, the Indianapolis official will
fight any shortening of the season, hoping
the lame ducks" i'll the League will be
compelled. before long. to quit because of
poor business. AT this time it looks as if
the plan would succeed, as at least three
clubs are wholly or in part supported from
the League treasury, and the drain is too
heavy TO be continued any great length of
time. Teams like Indianapolis, Milwaukee,
Kansas City and st. Paul are now making
money al home and will not submit to a
short season, while the other four clubs
with the possible exception of Columbus
heavy losers and look to the League
to help out with their salary lists and other
expenses. Just as long as the League con-
tinues to do business the general condition
of the League will become worse, while the
chances Of Indianapolis seeing National
League ball become brighter.
