To the citizens Of Mt. Sterling
the question of the greatest inter

the hope that "Uno" would re
turn to right thinking and righ'
doing. We were really in earn
est, but "Uno." like the great
Henry Watterson (eXcuse the
comparison) just crawled up in a
corner and actually quit. Sorry
indeed are we that he did not see
the folly Of his way and own up
like a man; but in ambush we
fancy him waiting for an oppor,
tune moment to renew sacriligious
and law violating methods. We
are conscious of the fact that to
continue hostilities when the enc
my has lowered his flag, is not
characteristic of the American ma
ton, but we cannot withdraw
without exposing to view some Of
the fallacies Of the hidden "Uno. "
We want to say that there is to-
day on the statute books an en-
actment created by our Legisla-
ture, that it is law and fully in
force. We assume that the Sun
day law is right, because it was
in accord with the wisdom Of the
Legislature thar passed it and with
all succeeding bodies, and has had
the approval Of the constituents Of
each Representative. More than
this, it is right because it is a di-
vine law as we'll. The Almighty
himself finished the creation in
six days and rested on the seventh,
and all along through the records
Of the Bible are we enjoined to
rest one day in seven; hence if the
Bible is right-and we know it
is-the observance Of the Sabbath
is right, and he who would violate
this law is law breaker and it is
nothing more than right that he
be held to answer before our courts
he most certainly will before
Higher Court. "Uno's" ingenui-
ty is not equal to the emergency.
Because Cervera attempted to
make his escape from Santiago
harbor on Sunday and therefore
became violator Of the law, is
not by any means parallel to
Dewey's entering Manila harbor
on Sunday, because it was not
necessary for one and was neces-
sary for the other, as the results
demonstrate. The one went
down into the depths Of the sea
while the other proudly sailed into
the harbor over the destructive
mines unobserved until too late.
1t was Dewey's opportunity-his
only chance.
Again, "Uno" shows his lack
of knowledge in journalism; indeed
he expresses himself as sorry that
we connected editor and proprie-
tor of the acknowledgements with
this controversy. We also de-
plore our duty in this matter. |
"Uno" should know that in the
absence Of expression from an edi-
tor Of journal, when an article
appears, whether by anonymous
or known author, the logical de-
duction is he approves the senti-
ment Of the article regardless of
what it may be. ....

! GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA.
The Gunboat Wilmington Selected to
Develop Trade Where q Vessel
Has Seldom Appeared.

Word was received here last night that
the War Department at Washington has
selected the gunboat Wilmington to
make cruise for the purpose OF showing
the American flag In the extreme interior
of the South American continent, visit
ing localities where seldom il ever any
warship has Leen seen.
As soon as the repairs on the vessel are
completed az Norfolk she will start on
her mission OF peaceful commercial ex.
tension, from which results of the high.
est benefit are looked for. not only to the
United States, but to the undeveloped
and extremely rich regions where she
will call. The Wilmington draws only
nine feet of water and was especially de.
signed for the service for which she is
now designated.
She will first ascend the Orinoco to the
limits Of navigation, afterwards proceed
ing several thousand miles up the
Amazon and its principal tributaries,
and finally she will explore the Parana
system debouching into the Rio de la
Plata. The work already mapped out
for the ship will consume several years
and If expectations are realized it is
probable that she will remain perman-
entity on the South American Station and
continue constantly on river duty.
Wilmington's namesake will no doubt
give as good account of herself on this
mission as she did in battle during the
recent war.

AN ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING.
Trustees of the Delaware Hospital
+ Discussing the Advisability of
Erecting an Annex.

The matter of alterations is now oc.
cupying the attention of the trustees OF
Delaware Hospital. At a recent meeting
they appointed committee to consider
the matter.
Their report is to comprise their best
judgment as to whether it would be feas-
ible to make temporary additions or pre-
ferable to block out plan for the future
development Of the hospitel on perma-
nent lines. The movement may result
in the erection of an entirely new hos
pital building and the changing of the
present structure from hospital to an
administration building.
The committee, as named by the
trustees, includes Tilghman johnson,
president of the hospital corporation;
Henry G. Jones, Holstein Harvey, Mrs.
Ferdinand l.. Gilpin, Mrs. Charles G.
Rumford and Mrs. William Hall Porter.
They have called in the services of E. J.
Dallett, of Baker & Dallett, architects, to
assist in their task. Primarily the ques.
tion for them is to decide upon the use
Of the $500 realized from the Temple of
Fame. This was intended for increas.
ing the accommodations for the training
school for nurses, the building being
over-crowded. Should plan for new
hospital be adopted, that would permit
the use Of the present structure for ad-
ministration and training school pur-
poses.

VICTIMS BY THE SCORE.
Grip Again Playing Havoc Amongst
Large Number of the Resi-.
dents Of This City,

The man or woman who can say that
he or she has escaped the grip is fortu-
nate and rather a rare individual, fol-
there is no doubt that the grip is very
much in evidence in this city. The NAL
ady is in epidemic form, and it's victims
are found in all sections of Wilmington.
In support of this statement is the uni
versal testimony Of the druggists that
sales OF quinine, ipecac, glycerine, calo.
mel, and other medicines used to check
the disease have been larger than for
many years.
Physicians are almost unanimous in
the opinion that grip is contagious, and
they base this conclusion on the fact
that whenever the disease makes its
entrance into household it rarely leaves
before two or more members OF the
family are included in the list OF vic
Tins.
It is, therefore, important that persons
suffering from an attack of the grip
should be separated from the other
members Of the family, and particularly
should this precaution be observed
where children are likely to come in
contact with the patient.
The men of the medical fraternity have
observed one particularity about the
cases which have recently demanded
their attention, and that is, that persons
who enjoy good health are just as liable
to succumb to the malady as are those
whose, condition is far below the
normal.
Thus far the disease has been of light
type, and the complications which have
been noticed in previous years, involy-
ing pneumonia and catarrhal affections
are said to be rare. 1t is asserted, how
ever, that the prompt services of a
physician are necessary whenever the
symptoms of the disease appear, and
failure to obey this injunction may re.
suit in serious trouble.

Judge Bradford interrupted Mr.. Price,
stating that an expression from the jury
OF that character was not proper at this
time.
Juror Samuel H. Baynard' stepped for.
ward and said: "What the secretary
wanted to say, 1 think, was that it is
utterly impossible for the jury to agree
and we ask to be discharged. Some
OF the jury have now been kept from
their business for two weeks and in view
OF the absolute certainty that we will not
agree we ask to be discharged"
"We don't want to be discharged" ("
spoke up Juror Frank r. Carswell, II
think this jury can be made to agree"
The Court told the jury that it was an
unheard of thing to discharge Federal
jury at this state of the proceedings.
That the deliberations had not yet reen
of such length as to warrar1ta discharge.
Hence the jury should retire again and
continue their deliberations.
As the jury filed out of the court
several of them complained to the Court
that the sleeping arrangements should
be better. The Court expressed regret
that cots had not been furnished the
gentlemen the night previous and as
sured them that cots would be on hand
for their convenience last night. An
effort to get the beds Friday night had
failed.
Judge Bradford came back to the
Federal Building after supper last night
and remained there until 10 O'Clock, al
which time he babe the sentinel-like
bailiff and Deputy-Marshal Clark good
night and went home. The Judge will
be at the Federal Building today to re-
ceive any communication from the jury.
At 1880 o'clock last night the jurors
were allowed out IN the corridor to
stretch their weary limbs before retiring.
At II o'clock, the cots having been ar
ranged in the corridor of the second floor
the twelve men and the bailiff went to
bed. ..#.
The result of the ballots already taken
has been circulated in rulnors TO all
effects. The first report had it that the
vote stood s to 4 for acquittal. Then
during the afternoon 10 to 2 in favor of
conviction was the popular report.
After the jury came in and had again
retired the impression prevailed among
those in the court room that the Jury
stood II to favoring verdict of guilty
and it was said that Frank r. Carswell
was the lone man who held out for a
verdict of acquittal.
Such is the status Of the Kenney case
this morning. The jury unable to agree
and the fate of United States Senator
Richard R. Kenney, charged with aid
ing and abetting and conspiring with
William N. Boggs to defraud the First
National Bank Of Dover, remains in the
balance.
