Try Holding Your ureatl,.

The modern quick moving elevator,
when it sinks suddenly, gives many
persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling.
Into well filled elevator in a big shop.
ping store the other day stepped from
one of the floors two women.
''Do you know" said one of them to
the other, "that if you hold your breath
going down in an elevator you don t
have that unpleasant feeling; you don t
feel it at all. "
OF course nobody in the elevator lis
tened Intentionally, but nobody could
help hearing what she said. Conversa-
tion instantly ceased, and every body
drew a long breath. The elevator shot
downward in silence.
"Ground foor'' said the elevator
man as he threw back the door, and the
women streamed out from the car upon
the floor, talking now gayly, and there
was one at least who said that the plan
was effective.-New York Sun.

A BIG "BooM" FOR LEwIs.-A cor
respondent of the EUery Evening saws:
"Lewes will in short time be one of
the principal coaling stations of the
United States government, and it is to
this end, chiefly, it is understood that
the work which has attracted so much
attention is being done. The iron pier
and all of the government property
there is to be put in frst-class shape
as rapidly as it possibly can be, and
1t is believed much additional work, of
which no intimation is given, will fol-
low. Lewes, it is understood, is to be
the headquarters for the third section
OF what is known as the Mosquito
Fleet and, in the event of war, it is
likely there will be great activity on
the bay shore there. A large supply
of coal will be kept on hand and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will, in all
probability be required to run special
coal trains between Wilmington and
Lewes.

ADJOURNMENT OF LEGISLATURE
Says the DelaWGreGn: "We believe.
ever, there has been a feeling for some
time, which is growing stronger every
day, that the time for final adjourn
ment has come, that there has been
sufficient time for consideration. that
1t is now time to act, and that the
State ought to be relieved of the heavy
expense of the session. The rrolong-
alton of the session will be used
against the Democratic party in the
next campaign, and both party expe-
dlency and the puplic interest demand
an early adjournment.
We think the Legislature ought to
complete its work and adjourn sine
die by the last day of April-certainl
not later than the first week in Nav.
as fixed by the House joint resolution.

KENT COUNTY TROLLEY Road. The
Delaware Electric Railway Co., which
comtemplates operating a trolley road
between Milford, Dover and Wood
land Beach, has about closed the con-
tract for building the road, and it is
expected work will be commenced be-
fore the end of the current month.
The Delaware Electric Railway Co.,
is composed of the Dover & Milford
Co., and the Dover & Bay Shore Co.,
which was chartered at the session of
the Legislature last year. The Dover
and Milford charter contained mar
ger clause, which enabled the two COM
panies to combine. The entire route
has been surveyed. The line will be
thirty eight miles in length, including
turnOuts. 1t will begin at Milford and
pass through Frederick, Magnolia,
Rising Sun, Camden, Dover and Leip-
sic, and will have frst-class terminal
facilities at Woodland Beach to con-
meet with a line of steamers to Will

MEASLES AT New CASTLE. There is
considerable excitement in New Castle
because of the measles epidemic. On
account of the disease there was no ses-
sion of the Presbyterian Sunday
School There are at least seventy
five cases in town. To add to the scare
one case of diptheria has appeared and
proved fatal. Wilson M. Cavender,
aged years, son of Thomas and
Hope Cavender, of North Front street,
was a patient with the measles. He
got well and went out. He was again
taken sick and the attending physician
pronounced it a case of diphteria. The
lad died Saturday morning, and his
funeral took place Sunday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cavender were recently
residents of this town, having moved
to New Castle month ago. They
have the deep sympathy of their many
friends here. They have two other
children down with this same disease.

MIANESOTA IRON COApANY.

The Marine Review says: A
quarterly dividend of II per cent
payable April Is, has probably
had considerable to do with re
cent advances in the value OF
shares of the Minnesota Iron Co.
1t is stated that the company did
not originally intend to begin
paying dividends until July, but
the year 1897 vas a profitable
one and justified such an action
at an early date. The large ex
penses for improvements for
lake steamers for several years
past have all been made out OF
earnings, and there was no rea-
son why stockholders should not
begin to receive part Of the
surplus earnings. There is little
doubt that business this year
will be larger than last, as far
as sales of ore are concerned and
the profit per ton will also be
larger: There is no. apparent
reason why 6 per cent dividends
cannot be. maintained, as the
company is. fully equipped in
every department to do a larger
business than at any time in the
past.
