MILFORpIs MORALITY.

AT present the newspapers OF Milford
are engaged in a spirited controversy
regarding the state Of the moral at
mosphere Of the town. There is no
doubt that Milford has the name Of be-
ing wide-hwake little place where
everything goes" The Wayfarer be-
heyes that even the warmest defenders
OF the towns morality Will admit that
such is its general reputation. Not be-
ing a drummer, the Wayfarer cannot
write with the pen of personal expert
ence, but he believes that commercial
travellers have had much to do with
making the reputation OF the town
what it is to-day. Ii is not the desire
OF the Wayfarer to become involved in
the controversy. Let the News and
Advertiser deplore and the Chronicle
uphold the social atmosphere Of the
place. It is their fight, and the fore
going remarks are merely made TO in
troduce something bearing on the mat
ter which is recalled TO mind by the
controversial spirit of the two papers.
Ex-Governor William T. Watson re.
sides at Milford. He is a straightfor.
ward man who loves the reputation Of
his home town, and he is keenly sensi.
tive to any such criticism as that in
which the News and Advertiser is now
INDUCING. Some years ago the ex
governor was a state senator, ant
Perry Richards was representative,
from Milford. Whether he represented
Milford hundred or Cedar Creek hun
dred the Wayfarer does not remember

RICE ON THE RUN.

Police Officer Rice is a stout man.
He is known to the Wayfarer as one
Of the best officers on Chief Dolan's
efficient force of peace conservators.
He is punctilious to a fault and prides
himself upon the painstaking care
which he exercises in the discharge Of
the manifold duties of his office.
One morning recently the Wayfa-cr
was on Tatnall street near Ninth. -
heard several children sing out "Oh,
iook!" and saw the women who were
sweeping off the sidewalks come 10 pa
rade rest on their brooms. He turned
and beheld Officer Rice running to-
wards the alarm box. II was astonish-
ing with what CELEBRITY a man of his
avoirdupois got over the ground
Everybody commented on it, and many
admiring glances followed his retreat
ing form. He reached the box, inserted
the key, turned it, opened the door and
sent in his report. The Wayfarer i'm
AGNES that Officer Rice was a little
late, but IL wasn't his fault. If the
Police Commission demands it any
number of WITNESSES can be secured to
verify the statement. He did his duty
as no other fat man could, and the first
time there is a vacancy in the list Of
sergeants he will certainly get the place
II he runs for it as he did for the boz
on Tatnall street.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

p. Foreman, who is an intelligent
and Observant man, and whose extern

large houses in this city, give him OPP
portunity to note trade conditions, in

ment the business outlook is encourag-
ing wherever he has been.

A REMARKABLE RESIDENCE.

A REMARKABLE RESIDENCE.
Miss Elizabeth Starr, OF NO. 1910
King street, will be SO years old to-
morrow. To the Wayfarer and many
others in Wilmington she Is known as
a most estimable woman of the old
school. One of the most peculiar things
connected with her history OF nearly a
century is the fact that she moved into
her present home when she was 9
months old, and has lived there con-
tinuously since that time, a period OF
ninety-two years and three months.
Probably no other person in the State
OF Delaware and but few in the United
States can claim such a long and un-
broken residence in one house.
J. jackson Peirce has in his possess
sion grandfather's clock, about 121
years old, which accompanied Miss
Starr into the King street home when
she went there, babe in the arms,
in 1906. 1t remained in her possession
until about ten years ago, when Mr..
Peirce bought it.
Miss Star is well-preserved for her
years, and her friends hope that her
remarkable constitution gill enable
her to attain or pass the century mark.
She has faint recollection Of the war
OF 1912; OF the downfall OF Napoleon;
and a perfect remembrance OF the
Mexican war, the war Of the rebellion
and, in the matter Of local history,
the Wayfarer understands, there Is mo
mind in the community which can go
back farther or with a greater degree
OF accuracy.

APARTMENT HOUSE POLLY.

In the neighborhood OF Seventh and
King streets there is an apartment
house. II contains fifteen rooms, and
every one is tenanted. A childlcss man
and woman who are living there are
the possessors OF a loquacious parrot
The husband calls II "Son!" and the
wife calls It Daughter" 1t being their
only child they love it dearly, but the
other tenants do not hold it in affection
or esteem. The Wayfarer knows this,
because he has heard divers complaints.
1t Is said that the early bird catches the
worm. Polly doesn't catch worms, but
she is an early bird, just the same, and
that is what worries the dodgers. Her
owners are also early risers. 1t is on
Sunday morning, when everyone wants
to sleep, that Polly's volubility has its
most distressing effect. AS soon as
daylight comes she begins to talk and
shout and there is restlessness, sleep
lessness and worriment in all other
apartments. The long-suffering victims
have about reached the extent Of their
endurance, and a general apartment
house exodus may be looked for at any
time now.

HANDY ON THE MUSTER OUT.

Last evening the Wayfarer met Con-
gresham L. Irving Handy on a Della
ware division train, and asked him
what warrant Colonel Gordon, OF the
First Delaware Regiment, had for char
acterizing as absurd the statement that
two battahons Of the regiment would
be mustered out.
None whatever" said the congress-
man. Il had made several applications
for individual discharges and, receiving
no answer TO my letters. went to
Washington and called on Adjutant-
General Corbin. He told me that he was
about to write me a long letter. He
said that the president had determined
to keep come Of the troops of each
state in service, and that, in the matter
OF the First Delaware, two battalions
were to be mustered out. The individ-
ual cases in which l had interested my
self at the instance Of relatives and
friends Of the soldiers could be pro-
vided for in that way. That is the
statement made by the adjutant-gen-
eral Of the United States Army. Unless

NEVADA COIN IN NEW YORK

Tie APPEAL has seldom taken &C
casion to say a good word for D. O.
Mills.
The main objection to him has been
that he accumulated a fortune out Of
Nevada enterprise and spends his
money in New York.
In the establishment of hotels IL New
York where people of small means
can secure good food and lodgings at
a very small expense be has done a
great work.
The new Mills House is only a few
doors from the BoWety, and advent Of
the millionaire into the lodging house
business IS viewed with alarm by the
proprietors of the sleeping kens in the
vicinity.
In place of bunk is a foul loft, Mr..
Mills offers his guests a seperate o
a single bed, clean bed clothes, good
ventilation and an elevator service
that cannot BE surpassed i'll the city
The price of a bed with all of these
CONFERENCE.-The say nothing Of a free
bath III clean acknowledgement
from twenty to thirty cents.
In addition the Mills House gives
to its guests the use of a we'll stocked
library, a big, we'll ventilated reading
and smoking room, and a restaurant
that is calculated to make the cheap
beaueries along the BoWery fade as
objects of interests for the hungry.
The chef in MI. Mills new hotel for
the poor is said to get a salary Of $40,
900 a year. The meals will be a
feature of the place. 1t is promised
that, with the facilities for cheap buy
ing of provisions afforded to the pur-
chasing agent of the two Mills houses
the meals will be better than those
Served IN frst-Class uptown testau-
rants for five times the money. The
speciality of the Mills House bill OF
fare will be plain food, ~attractively
prepared, and plenty of it.
For the wavfarer whose means are
limited, the Mills House holds out
the prospect of living for 65 cents q
day, figured out On this basis: Room
20 cents: three meals, I5centS each
total IS ceats, OF course, it's pos
sible to 80 over the 20 cent limit or
meals, but Mr.. Mills experts say
that the 20 cent feed will prove to Be
good enough for any hungry man.

effective war measures.

1t is to- be regretted that the re-
publlcans have set the example of
partisansh5p by preparing the war
revenue bill along PARTISAN lines,
and it is unfortunate that many of
the presidents military appoint
ments have been plainly of politl-
cal character.
Silver men joined with the gold
standard republicans in voting
$50, 100000 into the hands of the
president to be used in preparation
for war and they will continue to
vote with the republicans on strict
ly war measures.
Let the republicans keep the
currency, the protection of trusts
and bond-buyers and the making
of partisan military appointments
in the background and they will
find the silver congressman voting
with them on every measure look
ing 10 the croshing of the common
enemy. This is no time for par
tisanship. 1t is time which calls
for true patriotism and unity.

Perhaps the most interesting phase
of the present excitement is the COM

FALLING PRICES.

If the fall in prices since 1873 had
been due to some cause other than
the demonstration of silver, we
should expect the fall to have been
universal the world over.
Yet, strange asst may seem to the
golgbug, while in every gold
standard country prices have
disastrously fallen, prices in the
silver standard countries have re-
NAMED substantially stable.
United States Consul Whetmore
of Shanghai has prepared an index
table of Chinese prices show
ing this fact beyond dispute; and
the same has been true OF Mexico
and the other silver coutries.
But the most striking and con-
elusive example is Japan. Up to
1897 that country had enjoyed the
the most marvellous prosperity.
Her export trade increased from
five millions in 1890 to seventy-one
millions IN 1895, with the annual
balance of trade FIVE millions in
her favor.
In 1897, however, japan decided
to become 'sthe England of the
Orient" and adopted the single
gold standard. What has beer
the result?
Prices have begun to fall, and
industrial depression has set in
The Til Shimpo, the leading
paper OF Japan, in reviewing the
|
the first year under the gole
standard, says:
"We can speak only in 81 DOM,
terms of the year just past. Com
mercial affairs and political affairs
reached their lowest depths o.
depression and acknowledgement
The introduc ton Of the gol(
standard proved complete
failure.
And the paper states that tn
balance of trade is now agains
Japan.
Says Greater Japan, magazin
published in Japan in English
"The adoption of the gol'
standard is the worst mistake eve
: committed by the government il
the long history of thirty year
that have been passed since tn
present Meiji era began"
Then it adds:
"Many of the factories in tn
western part of Japan are closin
or only running on half time"
