TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and its
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
chine on the market.

INVESTIGATION At ONCE

SENATOR HALE OBJECTS TO A
SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON TIE
MAINE MATTER.
Special Dispatch Evening Journal.
Washington Feb. 1S.-The Senate
will adjourn from to-day until Mon
day. The Allen resolution directing
the Navy Committee to investigate
the Maine disaster was taken up. Ma
son moved to substitute a special com
mittee consisting of three members of
the House and two senators to make
an investigation. Senator Hale said
he hoped neither proposition would be
agreed to, saying that he had seen
the secretary of the navy this morn
ing, who said that an investigation by
the department would be made at once.
Mason insists on a special investfga-
tion, declaring that the people of the
country have come to the conclusion
that the true facts of the disaster to

aHnW CAN THEY no Ir2n

An unusual interest in the perform
ance TO be given at the Grand Opera
House all next week by Van Os-
tens Three Star Comedy Company is
evinced in many ways, one of the most
notable of which is that it is much
talked Of in hotels and other places
where men cOngregate. That
the company is under the direction of
Mr. Van Osten, who presented that
magnificent spectacular extravaganza,
Miss Philadelphia" last season, is at
least a suggestion that the perform
ances will be satisfactory in every de-
tail The remarkable cheap prices, 10,
20 and 30 cents, are in themselves suf-
ficient to cause comment, when Il is
considered that in addition to the act
ing company, the Miss Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra will furnish the
music. With the royalty on the long
list of high-class plays embraced in
the repertoire, Inez Mecusker, Willard
Lee and Ella Warren Harmon, in the
principal roles of the different plays
the question can safely be asked: How
can they do it?" Sufficient to say that
Manager Van Osten takes the chances
and the people get the benefit. One oI
the novel features for the commence
ment of this engagement will be a com
plimentary free concert at the Opera
House on Monday afternoon at
O'Clock. Admission to this will b
free. Prices for this engagement will
be 10, 20 and 80 cents. Popular dimi

but Chancellor Nicholson said: NAY.

the bolt from the Dover convention be-
gan to conspire with the Addiclsites to
set up a red-hOt fight at an election,
which he believes to he not only un-
constitutional. but also wholly unnec-
essary and woefully extravagant.
The lion and the lamb have lain
down together, and we behold the phe-
nomenal spectacle OF Mr.. Hastings
supporting an Addicksite for public Of

litical paradox, and we shall now ex-

chasm of Republican prosperity, while
Chairman Browne and Chairman Alice

NEW PARTY RULES.

The work of the county convention
is done, and well done. Wilmington
wanted larger representation, failed to
get it. and gracefully acquiesced. New
Castle hundred showed a disposition to
claim the Levy Court commissioner
of the Fourth district for all eternity
by virtue of preponderating vote, but
the other hundreds decided that the
office should rotate among the several
hundreds constituting the district, and
there was nothing left for the delegates
from our neighboring hundred to do
but submit TO the overwhelming vote
recorded against them. There was a
desire on the part Of some of the dele
gates to have the county Offices rotate
among the hundreds, but the conven-
tion decided that the county convention
provided for in the new rules should
decide upon the most available men
for the several offices, and the rota-
tion movement went by the board. Now
THAT it is over, everybody is satisfied
The full text of the rules was pub.
