The nurse is often brought to a closer OBJ
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upon the re-
ports Of the nurse. Pe-ru-na is in high favor
with the nurses. Il is specific for catarrhal
diseases of all varieties. 1t cures catarrh

While at Seaford to day Mr.. Layton had
occasion to draw $1,000 from bank, and
on his way home again met the buncoers
They again proposed a game, and it was
then that hypnotism was resorted to. Mr..
Layton, while in 9 hypnotic state, was
robbed of his money and the bucoers

DreSSGOOdS

This is not the oldest dress goods
business in the country-just back
in 1877 we sold very few fine goods.
Then the small Exclusive" stores
did the business business with
the daughters of the danes who had
bought goods in years a-gone. We
had to prove ourselves and our po-
sition. We did. And now-as for
all the recent years-the "exclu-
sive" dress stuffs are bought here.
And now it is thought that we
have the biggest retail dress goods
business in America to take care of.
So direct are our connections with
the sources of supply that we, as
as rule, bring novelties to America
one to three seasons ahead of
the general introduction here. We
have proved this again and again.
Within a fortnight we have been
offered as "the novelty for the
spring Of 1899" one of the very
novelties we bought and sold last
spring.
Wanamaker Dress Goods keep
new longest, because the newest
goods are sold here M
Comparisons, frequently and in
telligently made, are justification
Of the statement that no house in
the world sells really dependable
dress goods so cheap.
More American women buy their
dress fabrics here than 90 to any
other one store. They have pr owed
the stocks and the stores system.
Therefore, it is the best Dress
Goods store for you.

s'Since the formation of our government
Delaware has always had one Senator
-and at times two-who was the peer Of
any Of his colleagues. But when George
Gray gives way to his Republican sue
cessor, the State of Delaware will become
mere cipher in the Senate of the United
States" Every Evening, Nov. 9th.
While the Every Evening has lost by
its vacillating, hypoeritical course
much of tie respect Of the people and
editors Of the State Of Delaware which
It formerly held, 1t still retains stand
ing outside because in telegraphic
service and enterprise it easily leads
among our daily papers. For this rea-
son the gratuitous insult in the above
quotation to the Republican Party in
general and to its leaders and lis repre-
sentatives-elect to the General Assembly
in particular, merits the most severe
condemnation. According to its opin-
ion there is not in the State of Della
ware man in the Republican Party
who in the United States Senate would
be above s'a mere cipher" since Its
assertion was sweeping and referred
not to any who might be Objectionable
or lacking in craftsmanship but it
passed judgment upon every possible
choice. This would be outrageous in
the lowest partisan organ-perhaps it
becomes a partisan organ without a
party.
Every Republicans lect to the next
General Assembly should remember
this opinion of their judgment to
elect Senator and pay no regard to
the suggestions of that paper in future.
1t does not merit their confidence in
any particular.
To name Delaware Republicans who
are never tmere ciphers" under any
circumstances is not difficult, nor is it
difficult to name men who are the peers
of any Democrat who has represented
Delaware in the Senate, and our regard
for several of them is exceedingly
high. We take nothing from the
laurels won by them but Delaware has
other men of equal ability to those
Democrats who have served in the
Senate and Democrats.
Comp ,risons are odious usually but we
can easily name a list Of Delaware
Republicans, peers to Senator Gray
given alphabetically:
EDWARD G.. BRADFORD,
| ANTHONY HIGGINS,
BENZ. NIELDS,
WILLIAM G. SPRUANCE,
JAMES H. WILSON.
Who doubts the ability Of any Of these
gentlemen? And there are others by
the score, not so we'll known not SO
experienced in the law, nor in State
craft, but men who can represent the
State with honor and ability; and
never in any place are they "mere
ciphers." The Every Evening un-
donbtedly meant to insinuate against
] one or several Of the Republicans we
have named and cowardly included the
| L. - ~ - 5a
We beg pardon of the gentlemen
named for the liberty taken, and Of our
readers for the indulgence Of rebuking
our unhappy contemporary, but there
are occasions for plain speech and to
us this appears to be one.

The Republican victory of Tuesdays

at home. The Transcript gives upon its
first page the details to which attention
is invited. The gains in the y. S. Sen

licans and guarantee stability and pros
perity to the country for years. Gains
have been made in Delaware, Califor-
MIA, Maryland-last year, Judge Nc
Comas-Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, Oregon, Wisconsin. This is a
blow at populism and free silver which
have held the balance of power IN the
Sc nate. 1t settles the monet-ry ques-
tion for years.
In the House the Republicans have
lost their large majority, the result
of McKinley's great victory over
our Bryan two years ago, but they still
have working majority. probably Is.
Chairman Babcock summarizes the re-
suit as follows: Republicans 195. Dam
mocrats 1853, Populist 6, Silverite. /,
doubtful 2. Having majority, yet
small, means the Wis9st lie yislation;
means confidence fully restored and
general prosperity.
The defeat of Tammany Hall, Crock
erism in New York, and the election Of
the gallant Roosevelt, is great achiev-
ment which goes far towards settling
the Presidential election of 1900. The
majority for Stone in Pennsylvania
