MISS SUSAN o. moon.
Death OF an Old and Respected RESIDENT

One of Wilmington's oldest and most
respected citizens, Miss Susan Cornelia
Broom, died at 800 King street, Will
mington, the residence Of the late Mrs.
Moses Bradford, yesterday week. Miss
Broom was the daughter OF the Hon.
James M. Broom, one of the leading
lawyers of Wilmington of the past
generation, and for years a law partner
Of the Hon. John Wales, the father Of
Judge Wales. He built and for years
dwelt at Tusculum, now the residence
of DIR. Read j. Mckay, and left Will
minngton to become a member q the
Philadelphia bar. He was graduate
of Princeton of the classlof 1874, and
was member of Congress from Della
ware from December 2d, 1905 to March
3D., 1907. ty
Miss Broom was, the granddaughter
OF Hon. Jacob Broom who, with George
Read, John Dickinson, Cunning Bed

the representatives from Delaware in
framing the Federal Constitution,
which, it will be recalled, Delaware was
the first State to ratify. He decided to

Miss Broom was member Of st. An

of great amiability and unselfishness
OF character, which endeared her to
her family and to her friends, which
in declining years had narrowed to q
small circle. Thus are passing away,
one by one, the links connecting the
present generation with, the early his.

Miss Broom was relative Of Miss
Susan Cornelia Bowman of this city,
who is her namesake; of Levi G. Bird

Preparing SANDWICHES.

There is theory abroad that sand

very little time or trouble to make. AS
a matter of fact, an appetizing sand

making. Chopped cucumbers mixed
with little mayonnaise dressing makes

An egg sandwich is popular one for
picnics. The eggs must be hard boiled.
finely chopped and well seasoned with
salt, paprika, mustard and lemon Juice
spread between thinly-buttered slices
OF bread.
A cheese filling is delicious, 1t should
be grated and mixed with few chopped
olives. This is excellent with brown
bread. Press the slices firmly together.
Any kind of meat may be used for a
filling. Lamb, tongue or veal is es-
pecially good. Chop it, finely, season
with salt and squeeze Of lemon Juice,
and place 1t between buttered slices Of
brown bread.
A peanut sandwich is highly priced
for tea. Remove the skins from roasted
peanuts, put the nuts into a meat
chopper and grind them as fine as YOU
can ;then spread thick layer on slices
of unbuttefed graham bread, sprinkle a
little salt over them, and fold the
slices together. -Baltimore American,

HANDY AND, BAYARD.

why a Resolution ReferrinE to tho Latter
Was Not Introduced in the Democratic
state Convention.
Correspondence Morning News. M
Dover, Oct. 5.-Seyeral delegates to
the last Democratic State convention
desired to have the convention pass
resolutions of sympathy for the late
Thomas #. Bayard, who at that time
was suffering in his last sickness. The
matter was discussed and ex-Judge
David T. Marvel was requested to
draw the resolutions. Judge Marvel
went to the office Of MIR. Ridgely and
there drew up resolution, which COM
mended Mr.. Bayard's services to the
State, to the Democratic party, and
tittingly expressed, not only sympathy
for him in his then suffering condition,
but also the hope that he might have
a speedy recovery. This resolution
was approved by most of the leaders
who saw it. Judge Marvel, in company
with Charles r. McFee, took it and
showed it to Congressman L. Irving
Handy, and asked his opinion of ii.
Mr.. Handy said, according to the
statement of one who declares he
knows: "How many votes are there in
this?"
None" was Judge Marvel's reply.
Mr.. Handy then Informed Judge
Marvel that they, meaning his friends,
had conceded enough to Wilmington,
in agreeing, to the platform adopted,
and told Judge Marvel if that resolu-
ton was presented in the convention
T there would be trouble. Ielis reported
that when the matter was referred to
Senator Kenney, the latter stated. that
there was no precedent for such reso-
luton. Rather than have an unseemly
dispute in the convention, the friends
Of Mr.. Bayard, after hearing the objec-
tions Of Mr.. Handy and Senator
Kenney, concluded to drop the matter.
