The Centreville Observer discussed
negro lawlessness in its last issue and
quotes from several of the Eastern
Shore papers. 1t says that Queen
Anne's county has little to complain
of in that particular, at the same time
admitting that on Kent Island there
has been decided spirit of lawless-
ness evinced among a class of turbu-
lent negroes during the past two or
three years. As remedy the O6ser-
Ger suggests that the intelligent MEM
bers of the race should exercise
better influence over the lower orders.
There is just where the trouble lies.
The infiuential-we will not say intel
ligent- are the very ones who
do the mischief. The first fruits of
the education they acquire at the ex-
pense of the white man, is to instill
into the minds of the more ignorant
spirit of opposition to the white man
and belief that they should receive
everything in sight except work and
punishment. EyktOn Democrat.

During the defendants cross-exami-
nation several incidents that came near
being sensational occurred. District
Attorney Vandegrift accused Senator
Gray of nodding his head to the wit
ness to indicate an answer to the pros
ecution's question. The Senator de-
MED the imputation, and a vordy war
between counsel followed, the District
Attorney not Withdrawing the charge.
Later on Judge Bradford called Sena-
tor Gray to task for remark following
ruling of the Court. The Senator
said quite audibly, '"This is not prop
er testimony" Judge Bradford said
it was evidently intended for the Court
or to influence the jury. Senator Gray
disclaimed any such intention, and
said it was meant only for associate
counsel.
Senator Kenney was submitted to a

failed to shake his testimony. He per-
sisted in the statement that, although
he was BOggs's counsel up to the time
of the fight, yet he never knew of the
defalcations, only those testified to in
direct examination and which he
thought had been settled. He contra
dicted Boggs's testimony in many par
ticulars, denying especially that he
consulted with BOggs as to his defal-
cation and in regard to Bay State Gas
deals.
At the afternoon session J. H. Bate
man, formerly cashier of the bank,
stated that the bank frequently with
held checks when the account showed
insufficient funds and permitted over
drafts, but in both instances the GUS
toners were considered good and safe.
He said he thought it might have been
done in Senator Kenney's case, but he
was not positive. In all instances, he
said, the carrying of checks would not
show in the books, but the Overdrafts
would.
George V. Massey, assistant general
solicitor of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and Robert R. Holiday, superinten-
dent of the Delaware Division of the
same road, testified to the good reputa-
ton of Senator Kenney, as did ex-Sen-
ator Higgins and number of prOmi-

If anybody is curious to know how
many tribes of Indians still remains in
the United States he can learn at the
Omaha Exposition, where it is intended
TO have them all represented, Congress
having appropriated $40, 900 for thepur-
pose of gathering them. The pros
pectus of the enterprise names no less
than fOrty-twO tribes that are expected
to be represented, and adds "Other
tribes and remnants of tribes, thus al
lowing for an indefinite number in ad-
| dition. Some time a ago a writer in one
of the magazines made what seemed to
be strong argument to show that the
Indians in this country, so far from
dying out, as is generally supposed,
are really more numerous now than
they were when aud first white men
came to this continent, and certainly,
from this showing, the number of their
tribes does not seem to be diminishing.

THE FIFTH DAY.

The fifth day of the Kenney trial was
occupied principally in listening to the
testimony of the defendant.
After an unimportant witness had
testified, Senator Kenney began the
story of his relations with Boggs.
Senator Kenney stated in 1898 BOggs
employed him as counsel, and that until
1896 he knew absolutely nothing about
Bogg's shortage at the bank. When
in that year Boggs came to him and
confessed that he was defaulter Sem
ator Kenney said he was surprised,
and was Mortified to learn he had lost
the money playing cards. Boggs
asked for witnesses advice, and Mr..
Kenney told him the best thing would
be for him to go to his friends and get
them to fix the matter. Boggs, he
said, did not tell him to what amount
he was in default. After that time the
witness said he heard nothing about
the shortage, and presumed that ac-
cordingly that Boggs had taken his
advice and got money from some oi
his friends.
Coming down to the Shaw check
for 81 $50, signed by Kenney and rep
resenting farm purchased for Boggs
Mr.. Kenney said he knew nothing
whatever about the check. He said h,
might have given the check, but die
not recall it, and knew absolutely
nothing about the check not being
charged up.
The Cuthbert & Co. check for 5000
which was not charged to his account
he said, represented money he had ad
vanced to Boggs in a stock transac
tion.
Mr.. Kenney then gave some inter
esting information on his operation
in Bay State Gas. Checks aggregatinI
$500, representing dealings in tina
stock, were found unchanged to Sena
tor Kennsy's accounts in the bank
He knew absolutely nothing of th
failure to charge them and suppos g
they had been charged.
These checks covered period froI
May IL, 1896, to July, 1896, when h
was wiped oat. He said he bough
the stock at 90, 2s and 80, when every

The world is wondering how 1t is
that the naval battles between the
United States and Spain have been
fought with such tremendous losses
on one side and none at all on the
other, but Captain Sigsbee has found
what looks like reasonable explana-
tion of it. Speaking to a friend the
other day, while his ship was at New
York, he mentioned how, while he was
at Havana, before the Maine was
blown up, he saw the Spanish officers
and men there enjoying themselves in
various ways, but never a semblance
of drill. At the same time our ships
at Key West were sounding to general
quarters three times day. Our navy
prepared for war in time of peace; the
Spanish Navy did not. This difference,
he thought, "tells large part of the
story" but it could not account for
the almost complete harmlessness of
the Spanish gunnery.

THE FOURTH DAY.

The fourth day in trial of United
States Senator Kenney for aiding the
defaulting teller, William N. Boggs,
in the misapplication of the funds of
the First National Bank of Dover, was
again taken up principally with the
testimony of Boggs. Boggs told the
jury that Senator Kenney, as far back
as 1895, knew of his being defaulter,
and that the Senator subsequently was
permitted to draw money when he had
no funds to his credit.
When this witness Left the stand
Lawyer Bird had begun the cross-ex-
animation.

sumed. he Said that when, in 1895, he

New Shops at Delaware College.


Work on the new shops at Delaware
College has been begun and the shops
will be finished and equipped be-
fore the reopening of the institution
on September 18th. Both woodwork
ing and irOn-working shops will be
housed in a single brick building Ga
feet long by 35 feet wide, and two
stories high. The new structure will
built upon the foundation of the old
shops burned in last April.
It is intended that the new shops
shall be in every way superior to the
old, and as nearly as possible fire
proof.
1t is planned that the shops proper
shall occupy the whole ground floor of
the building, single great room. airy
and well lit with many large windows.
Here will be stationed the machinery
to be used by the students in electrical
and mechanical engineering, a large
dynamo, the woodworking machinery,
the lathes for turning iron, the shaper,
the drill-press, and the hundred and
one smaller tools and implements.
The second floor of the building will
be occupied by large drafting room,
two recitation rooms, a laboratory and
testing room, and the office of the
Engineering Department.
Those acquainted with the topogra-
ply of the campus at Delaware College
will recall that the old shops stood
east of the DOrmitory and north of the
Agricultural Experiment Station
Building. While the new building
will occupy the same site, it will be a
more conspicuous feature of the cam
pus than the old structure, as it will
be considerably higher than the latter
and fortunately of much handsOmer
architecture.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous mem
brane lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundrrd Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
