The Bacillus of Suspicion.
Case and Comment.

Ease ana
There is a peculiar brood of men,
some of whom have been deemed tc
possess much intelligence, who have
developed a morbid suspicion Of
plots and conspiracies, One declares
that the delay in conquering Spain
has no excuse except ''to give time
for the Infamous bond scheme to
get through Congress- Another,
who bitterly attacks the government
for making any war on Spain, and
says that we should stop instantly,
and pay damages, ~oracularly assures
us that the hand of the conspirator
can be traced through the whole
course of recent events, including
the blowing up of the Maine. Still
another of this class not long ago
announced that the cause Of our
great Civil War Of 1861 was a con
spiracy of money lenders.
Only a brain sick with rank sus-
picions can believe such preposter-
Gus libels. One who propagates
them must be pitied for a mind dis
eased or despised for his infamy.

Headache From Eye Strain.

Eve strain causes more headache than
al other causes combined. From this
fact il follows, that thousands of people
are suffering from headaches who do
not realize that the cause is defect or
weakness in the eyes. They may have
taken medicines without getting reiief
or they may have suffered, thinking
there is no remedy. All these cases can
be perfectly cured with glasses that VIII
correct the error in the Eye.

The Political Situation.

If peace isn't declared very soon
we shall lose a great deal of the
spectacular effect which promises to
attend the political campaign in both
the Dakotas. The almost certain
success of the Republican party has
stimulated activity among the candI-
dates far beyond the usual point,
and the coming conventions promise
10 be exceptionally interesting. 80
far as the opposition in either state
is concerned it is going through its
campaign motions in a perfunctory
manner. internal dissensions and the
inevitable logic of the situation hav-
ing made defeat almost a certainty,

4 RELIC WITH A HISTORY

ANCIENT SPANISH SHIELD TAKEN
FROM THE MARTA TERESA ON
EXHIBITION.
DR. Lawton, the optician, has an i'm
teresting bit of Spanish history, in the
shape Of a shield taken from the war
ship Maria Teresa, on exhibition in his
window ON Market street.
The shield is something in the shape
of a heart, is about two and half
feet long by two feet in width. 1t is
made OF tough leather to withstand the
thrust Of lance. On the face of the
shield are painted the figures OF two
women, representing angels, holding
between them the coat OF arms Of some
royal Spanish family surmounted by a
CROW.
Around the edge and also upon the
face OF the leather plate are Spanish
words supposed to be the motto OF
the family. Several Spanish students
in the city have endeawored to trans
late the words, ard the nearest literal
agreed upon by them is as
follows: Il am the wonder OF pagans.
have shown my crown and if the inf
dels do not succc ed let us put our hands
to the work" Upon the back Of the
shield are two leather straps used for
holding it in position by placing the
arms through them. One OF these rs
broken.
Dr. Lawton states that he obtained
the relic from a friend in Jacksonville,
Fla, who in turn secured it from a
half breed Mexican curio collector, who
was a morphine fiend, and VINO parted
with it for a nominal sum compared
to its value. It was taken from the
cabin of the Spanish warship after she
was SUNK, and the leather is still
water-soaked. The owner states that
he has been assured that the shield lie
300 years old, but how far beyond
that he cannot state. 1t is by far the
most valuable relic yet secured, and
81 900 has been refused for it.

ADJUSTMENTS
GREAT COMEDY SUCCESS.


MY Friend From India" which has
proved to be the greatest comedy sue
cess OF the dying century, will be given
at the Grand Opera House next Mon
day nighlt. MY Friend From India"
is described as a three-act farcical COM
edy, and is based upon the troubles OF
a theosophdc barber whose wade me-
cum is a copy OF 1.-The Light OF Asia"
who acts the part Of good samaritan
to a young scapegrace, whose father is
retired pork packer. The son, en-
deavoring to explain his late hours
and the presence of the stranger, util-
lies the BARRIERS hobby and palms him
of on his father as an oriental mystic.
The old man AT once welcomes the
visitor, whom he proceeds to turn to
his practical advantage, and win his
way into society, by aid OF this great
theosophical idol. The complications
are numerous, the fun beginning al
most with the rise OF the curtain, and
progressing furiously to the end. Great
care has been taken in the formation
OF the company, and a night Of hearty
laughter is faithfully promised Will
mington theatre patrons.

RECENT LITERATURE

Much interest has been excited in
America by the Geographic accounts
OF HoCley's apparently wholesale pur-
chase CT British noblemen for use as
dIeooy ducks to his various stock
schemes; and his connection with the
highest political officials Of the empire.
Theron c. Crawford, who has been in
England for The Cosmopolitan, takes
no the subject in the November issue
Of that magazine, and under the title
Of "Hooley and His Guinea-Pigs, u
gives a connected STORY OF the deriva-
tion Of Hooley and his rise to the con-
troll OF millions through unlimited
cheek and the opportune willingness
Of distinguished British aristocrats tc

simply for the SIS a week he can make
out OF his drollery." He has been with
the Georgia Minstrels for the past
eleven years. Previous to that he was
with "CaMender's Georgias," and
Jack" Hayerley's big Black Forty"
1t was with Callender's that he went
to England and made the hit OF his life,
and returned to this country with the
"Georgias" under the management Of
the Frohmans, who made considerable
money out OF the colored boys; in fact
