Holly Oak Cottage Burned.

The sl3, 900 cottage Of Mrs John MUIR
ply at Holly Oak, was totally destroyed
by fire Saturday afternoon, together with
$500 worth of furniture. The blaze was
started by curtain catching fire from an
Gil lamp which Mrs. Murphy was using in
curling her hair.
Mrs. Murphy has been the victim of
misfortune lately. Only recently her hus-
band was fatally injured by topping from
a p, W, a. Is. railroad passenger Car near
the coal schultz in this city. After that her
brother, Charles Rutter, who is quarter
master of the Second Pennsylvania Regi-
ment, now encamped at Montchanin, re-
moved to Holly Oak to live in the cottage
with Mrs. Muiphy. When his command
was called INTO service he joined it, and he
was at Mo ntchanin when the structure
was destroyed.
The Murphy cottage was one of the old
est atHolly Oak, and it is said tho town
was named after the cottage. The cottage
was erected in 1851 by j. Mnhoney, and on
his death reverted to his heirs, Mrs Muir
ply and Qunrtermastcr Butter. Mrs.
Murphy was cared for by William V.
Bond Quarternaster Rnttor left Mont
chanin on Saturday aftec no had been in
formed OF tho fire, and spent yesterday at
II oily Oak.

The Ballot Law,

A good deal OF opposition is being mani
tested In certain quarters to the new bal
lot law. Many OF the objections raised
against 1t are imaginary rather than real.
II the judges are honest men, we shall
have fair elections and If they are not hon.
est men, we shall have dishonest ones.
The last election may be cited as an illus
tration Of this assertion. The Austria
liam ballot Is an unwieldy and cumbersome
one, and has its disadvantages, and it is
not surprising that there should be oppo-
sition to its continuance. Besides, 1t Is
costly and yet, ..on that account certain
parties may desire its continuance. Mon.
ey going into certain pockets reconciles the
owners In many cases to the continuance
OF particular abuses. We think the Gov.
ernor should be willing to approve the new
law, and y II should not prove more salts
factory than the present one, 1t can bs re-
pealed or improved at the next session Of
the Legislature. There can DO no more
rascality attempted or perpetrated through
tho new law than that praotieed in Kent
county and also that attempted at the
Court House in this city, and 1t is idle to
talk about any ballot system securing an
honest election SO long as rogues are ap-
pointed to conduct it. These judges are
tho men who need watching, rather than
the voters. Give us honest judges and
with any kind of ballot there will be a
reas onably fair election.

ACCORDING to all accounts, Rooscvolts
rough riders are lot of jim handles and
nesl strict military discipline. They shot
out the lights at theatre in San Francis
leo and Friday they had fun with several
newspaper men who visited their camp at
Tampa, Fla. They must be a tough lot of
men aad their actions do not reflect credit
ION themselves or their officers There is
no reason why they should act like wild
Indian at a war dance. Toughness does
mot mean bravery and the sooner it is
eradicated from the army, tho better stand

with seven other brave Americans sailed
right into the teeth of the Spanish navy,
between the forts on the shore and scut-

mouth of the channel of Santiago harbor,
completely bottling up the Spanish fleet.
1t begins to look rs if our navy had found
the whereabouts OF Cervcra's fleet and had
them caught as nicely as rat in a trap

THERE never has been better time than
now in the history Of the Republican par
ty Of Delaware to stop the chickering's of
the men who imagine that they have been
called by the Almighty to control the des-
TIMES Of the party, and let the voters take
ahand In the coming nominations for the
different offices. II has been illustrated
that 9 divided party cannot hope to gain
any advantage In the field of politics. We
would advise tbs party managers to GET
togethot, bury their differences and secure
something to fight over, otherwise it will
be Of no use to mako nominations. There
will bs one Senator and possibly two, to
be elected by the next Legislature. There
Is every reason In the world why that body
should have Republican majority. The
fu'ure success Of the Republican party in
Delaware lies in the hands Of the mana
gers. Will they take advantage Of the
opportunity Of a life time?

TIE Senate Friday amended the wac
revenue bill by adopting the provision to
coin s4s 0oo, o0o from our silver bullion now
held in the Treasury, and by substituting
the bond provision of the Republican mi
nor.ty OF the Committee of Finance for
the proposition of the majority of that
committee to issue $50 COO 600 additional
greenbacks. The Philadelphia Record
says:
How the bill will fare in conference
committee cannot be certainly foretold.
The coinage of more 49, cent dollars, which
to tho extent of the value of the bullion
used for the purpose will lessen the secur-
ity behind the outstanding notes of the
Government, is hard pill to swallow.
But the urgency of the needs of the Treas.
ury may force the House and the President
to q reluctant acquiesceuce."

The utmost magniticance character
lied the cremation of the late Phra
Charoew Rajathon the other evening.
y couple of shadow plays and a ma
rionette show were within the wat
grounds, and on al sides hung the rich
banners sent by friends of the deceased,
inscribed with wishes for his future
welfare. In one corner was a booth
containing the store of silver and other
articles which were TO be, given, to- the
visitors. Each of these on arrival was
invited to dip into black bag and
withdraw Il number corresponding to
that on one of the articles in the booth,
and the expenditure on these gifts must
have been most lavish. In Il pavilion
facing the crematory refreshments
were served, and in another one could
watch the crowd, or later on witness
the magnificent display of fireworks.

upon his own promises and began a
system of persecution against the "reb-
e!s" which in cruelty and torture out
did anything mankind has ever heard
of, barring only the Spanish inquisi-
ton. The prisoners were put on the
rack, had their limbs lacerated, and in
some instances had their eyes put out,
their tongues torn out and their ears
cut off. Howling friars, OF which the
islands are full. clothed in the garb of
religion, but disowned by the regular
priests of the church, sanctioned these
horrible punishments and contiscated
the pitiful belongings of the victims
for the benefit of their monasteries.
That such unspeakable actions and
breach of faith were resented by the
people is not strange. One uprising fol-
lowed the other, and finally the people
instituted a provisional revolutionary
government, under the leadership Of
Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, patriotic, able
and self-sacriticing native Malay of the
highest type. Aguinaldo was twice be-
trayed by the Spaniards with promises
Of reform which were never kept. He
saw his brothers butchered and his
country robbed into poverty. Last De-
cember Don Primo de Rivera, the Span
ish governor of the islands, made peace
with the rebel chieftain and then sought
to deprive him of liberty and life.
Aguinaldo managed to escape, however,
ard travelled in disguise from Singa-
pore to Hong Kong, being assisted in
his efforts to reach neutral port by
Spencer Pratt, the American consul
general at Singapore. In Hong Kong
he placed himself at the disposal of
Commodore Dewey, and returned to the
Philippines with that intrepid com
Inander. He has agreed to maintain or
der on the islands with the army of rev.
Clution of which he is the head and
which has been awaiting his arrival.
Besides being generalissimo of the rev.
dictionary army, Aguinaldo is pres-
dent of the Philippine republic estab-
lished by the patriots.
In spite of all drawbacks the insur-
rtctionists have been fairly successful
right along, and, when supplied with
arms and ammunition by the United
States, will make short work of the dis
organized Spanish army of occupation.

HARNESS BELLS.
Something New Resulting from Rub
Der Tires, Rubber Pads and As
phnIted Streets.

While they are still by no means
common, there has been in the past
three months considerable increase
in the use of harness bells in this city.
They are attached chiefly to the harness
Of horses driven to carriages. While
this increase may be due in some meas
ure to the following CT custom, the pur-
pose OF the bells is to give warming
of the vehicles approach, such warning
having become more and more neces-
sary owing to the greatly increased use
of rubber-tired wheels, and rubber-pad-
ded shoes for horses, following the
widespread increase of asphalt pave
ment. When all these causes combine
the approach of horses and vehicles is
made comparatively noseless. The
bells are as yet chiefly used on private
carriages, but they are occas; onally
seen on public carriages, mostly han
SONS.
The bells most commonly used are
like those made for s,eighs and gilt
finished or silver-plated to match the
furniture of the harness. In pair-horse
harness the bell is buckled to the coup
ing links that attach the names to-
gether; in singie-horse harness it is
attached to the hame chain or mar
tingaie ring.
The use of harness bells is far more
common in Paris and London, in both
OF which cities it is required by law
