A NEW COUP D'ETAT.
Generel Boisdeffre the Dictator in
France.

London, February 19.-All the afternoon
papers today comment upon the gravity
of the West African situation. Business
on the Stock Exchange was fiat and con-
soils were q quarter of point lower. A
striking article in the Westminster Ga
zette by Vim. T. Stead, says: 1.-The news
from the Niger is only serious because OF
the news from France. The net effects
of the news from Paris today is that
France is once more in full revolution.
The third republic, although nominally
still in Stu, no longer exists. The long
expected upset has arrived at last, and
has arrived almost to the very day, exact
ly so years ago, the revolution of 1S4S.
The coup d'etat of Gen. Boisdeffre
differs from the coup d'etat of Napoleon
Ill, only in the degree of brutality of
It's accessories When the chief of the
French general staff. the nerve centre OF
the gray matter of the brain which d.

armed force of France, enters into a
court OF law to proclaim to Jury that
unless they return a verdict to his liking
the chiefs who are at the head OF the
army, and who organize the national
defense are ready to leave their task to

RazOrs in the Air.

Intense excitement reigned in Zion
Methodist Episcopal Church, colored,
one night last week.
Sam Jones arose and said: 81 am the
Lord, and all who don't believe it are
liars" Immediately afterwards, his
companion, Isaac Fulman, produced a
revolver and fired shot into the cell
ing, which action caused the women and
children to scream. Fulman fired again,
and the bullet entered Charles Waters
breast.
By this time, a general fight was in
progress, during which Jones and Full.
man fled. As he approached the door,
Fulman emptied his revolver, its con-
tents lodging in Edward Cooper's body.
Jones and Fulman went to a house
near Hazlettville, where they remained
until this morning. When officers at
tempted to arrest them, the desperadoes
mounted horses and rode over into
Maryland.
DR.. Crossmore, who is attending
Waters, has hopes of his recovery.
Cooper's condition is serious.
The negroes of this vicinity were in an
angry mood this morning and threat
ened to be revenged. The warrants is
sued charge Fulman with attempted
murder, and Jones with disturbing re-
ligioUs meeting.
Fulman recently shot Edward Handy,
of Dover, and James Deighton, of Wy
oming.

HINTS FOR CAMERA USERS.
Suggestions of Value to Both PrOfes.
siOnaIs and Amateurs--New
Color Photography.

The Wilmington Camera Club is very
much interested at present in the reports
and experiments with the process of
color photography invented by an
American.
The discovery and its practical applica-
tion is the work of the late James W..
McDonough of Chicago. He has been
dead year, but what he discovered has
been in the hands of friends and busi-
ness associates ever since and is about to
become public property.
In the simplest language possible the
process which he greetd is color pho
Biography that is purely mechanical. The
ordinary camera is used, and the mega
tives are produced and developed by the
usual processes, but before exposing the
negative in the camera a transparent
screen, ruled with the primry colors,
red, blue and green, is interposed be-
tween the negative and the object to be
photographed.
After developing the negative, a posi-
tive plate is produced from it,, which,
used by itself, does not differ from the
ordinary black and white plate, but
when it is laid upon viewing screen,
ruled with the primary colors (being a
duplicate OF the taking screen used in
the camera) the colors in the object
photographed appear.
The principal OF color photography is
mixture of colored lights on the retina.
A transparent medium is ruled in fine
colored lines, 800 to 600 in the inch.
These lines are red, blue and green, com
monty speaking they are the funda.
mentals of the spectrum (the yellow now
being rejected J, and their mixture pro-
duces white light. In other words, the
color of each is such as to absorb the re-
naming two, and transmit only its own
light.
10 make picture, it is necessary to
place one of these ruled screens in i'm
mediate contact with the sensitive sur
face of the dry plate and expose the
same as in ordinary photography. The
colors by this process are as near per-
manent as they can be. They do not
fade even after long exposure to bright
light.

NOTES BY THE NANDERER
Interesting Stories Gathered From
Interesting Facts.
PLEASANT AND UNPLEASANT
Though the Serious Side is Sometimes
Presented There is Plenty
to Cause Mirth.
Rayard Was Honest.

The Wanderer is informed by a we'll
known journalist and an eminent writer
of the late Thomas F. Bayard's life, OF an
of the man.
When he was Senator and the leading
man of his party in Congress an election
for Sheriff in New Castle county oc-
Cured. The contest was hot one and
the result in doubt up to the connt of the
last ballot. At that time Mr.. Bayard
was the subject of some criticism because
he had advocated the electoral COM
mission scheme, which ultimately seated
Hayes in the Presidential chair. He had
never ceased, however, to denounce the
returns as counted as false and fraudu-
lent. The Democrats of this city were
excited over the closeness OF the vote for
Sheriff and declared that although the
face of the returns appeared to defeat
their candidate, Purnel J. Lynch, he
should be put in Office. But Lynch's
opponent had undoubtedly been elected
fairly and was entitled to the office. In
this state of affairs Mr.. Bayard was ap-
pealed to and an attempt made to show
him how the returns might be manipu-
lated SO as to elect Lynch. They said
that Lynch was too poor to lose the
place and good deal more, to which
Mr.. Bayard listened with indignation.
Finally he said
"Gentlemen, if you attempt to do this
thing I will myself denounce it. How
can we, but now denouncing the same
sort of fraud which has cost us the presi-
dency, dare to think Of such thing?
Here is my personal check for $500
towards helping Mr.. Lynch and I will
give more if necessary, but will never
help to give him an Office to which he
was not elected, much as l should like
to see him have the place." That ended
the contest.

Chase for an Orator.

There are number of parties around
the p, w. & B. depot III this city that
frequently approach the Wanderer for
advice on some knotty problem of church
or state.
The boys when not wrestling with
trunks and other duties are generally
discussing matters civil or religious.
Not many days ago Simon Chase, a
well-known authority on things in gen.
eral, made such an impression that the
other parties, with his consent, made a
date for him to lecture before an audi
ence of colored folks in church we'll
known in Wilmington.
The time was fixed and the word went
out that the great silver-tongued orator
Simon Chase, would lecture on certain
matters pertaining to the church on Sun
day evening.
The time arrived and the well-lighted
church was crowded but no orator ap-
peared. The committee on arrangements
were soon in consultation with the heads
of the church and the congregation looks
foreboded i'll if something was not done
to relieve the suspense.
The committee saw that matters we're
in such condition that nothing but des-
perate measures would avail and so they
each by turn took the pulpit and made
excuses for, Mr.. Chase, saying he was sick
and would have to postpone his lecture
until future date, and finally appeased
the impotient congregation.
The meeting broke up and going from
the building Simon Chase, smiling and
innocent, met them face to face and as all
hands were talking at once the Wan
derer was unable to hear what was the
Orator's excuse

Ex.MayOr Went Cunning.

The experiences of ex.Mayor Austin
Harrington during his recent sojourn
among the marshes near Delaware City
and vicinity in quest of reed birds and a
few fish, would probably fill book.
IT'S but the privilege of the Wanderer to
tell the story in one short paragraph.
He was walking arsenal when he
set out, a shot gun, a rifle, two revolvers
and hunting knife constituting the
visible portion of his armament. The
snake bite remedies went ahead by the
Overland Everything Guaranteed ex-
press. There have been many gunners
on the picturesque banks OF the river,
but none who made things more lively
for the oldest inhabitants than the ex-
mayor. The cunning season had not
opened when he landed there, but he
had taken a store box full of cartridges
along because, as he said before starting.
he had not fired a gun since the Crimean
War, and would probably need little
practice. He got it. Day and night,
the returning resorters say, the vicinity
in which he lived might have been mis-
taken for Ell Caney or San Juan. One
man swears that he heard nine thousand
shots fired on single night, and that he
slept at least four hours. Two snap
shots OF the hero were taken, one of
which shows him looking smilingly at a
hamper from which nine bottles, pre-
sumabIy ointment for the bait-pro-
truded, unmindful of the fact that four
pound bass had swallowed the hook,
and was heading up stream with hook,
line, rod and all. Then his dog went
mad and had catch.a as-catch-can with
him that might have had serious results
if the ex. mayor hadn't been something
of wrestler himself, and finally checked
the dog to death, and yet the one time
chief executive of this city says he really
enjoyed the trip.

The Question of Passes.

The Wanderers attention has been
called to the fact that the men whose
pockets were picked while attending the
funeral OF the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
all carried railroad passes.
The matter was brought up by a rail-
road man who stated that it seemed
strange that men who we're we'll fixed
with this worlds goods should ride on
hard passes, while men who are en-
ployed by the railroad company and
who faithfully perform their dangerous
duties are only allowed trip passes in
certain branches of the service. The
employees are limited to a certain number
of passes each year and are not informed
what that limit is.
When they ask their employers for a
pass they are asked what they are going
for, how long they intend to stay, who
is going with them and many other ques-
tions that have to be answered in satis-
factory manner before the pass is forth
coming.
The employees do not think it is right
that men of wealth and to whom rail-
road fare is an insignificant matter,
should have annual passes over the road,
with no impertinent questions asked as
to the object of their trip, while men
who risk their lives and limbs for the
company are forced to humble them
selves or stay at home.

The opportunities of the public at
large to vote for the man Of their choice
for United States Senator are con-
spicuous for their absence.
THE Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express their opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the in
terests OF the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any state within the history Of the ma
tion.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head Of this
column and send it to The Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by
each candidate every day in order to
keep the voters posted.
The Sun also makes this offer. The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the state to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
Just the same, however, if you do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
800 for some deserving charity
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
up to l2 midnight of the day preceding.
The increasing vote from day to day
and from week to week assures the sue
cess which has been attained by The
Suns senatorial contest.
Another week has passed and the rush
of votes yesterday was very large, evil
IDENTIFY for the reason that all voters
wished to have good showing made by
their respective candidates at the close OF
the week.
The contest brings out among others
epe fact-that the people of the two
lower counties are confident of the abil-
ity of the senatorial timber which grows
therein.
Today finds nine contestants passed
the six thousand mark, and all those
who are at or above such number run
exceedingly close. Go on; let every man,
woman and child send in votes for their
tavorites.
A letter received by the editor reads
as follows:
Editor THE SUN:
DEAR SIR:-Inclose6 you will find 200
votes, which l desire to cast in THESUNs
senatorial contest for George Massey
Jones, Esq, OF this town. In casting
this vote l am confident of doing three
things-frst, voting for man VIII,
would be an honor to the state; secondly,
using my efforts to aid charity, and
thirdly, joining in a popular movement
which this senatorial contest has proven
to be. We believe in Kent county that
some day we will be allowed to elect our
own United States Senator. We have
had a sad experience in placing the elec7
ton in the hands of a few.
