cONsERvArIsMs PENALTY.

There is a man employed on one of
The cars of the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company who does not favor the
present war with Spain. He declares
that It is an unjust intervention On the
part of the United States and that the
United States has absolutely no right
to interfere or take either Cuba or the
Philippine Islands. Spain has held
them for over four hundred years and
in his opinion, she should be permitted
to hold them for four hundred years
more. This opinion Of his is shared
by many other Americans who are a
little less pronounced in their express
sion of the views entertained, but that
makes no difference TO the fellOw-em-
ployes Of this railway man. His atti-
tude has embittered them against him,
and they never lose an opportunity to
rub 1t in on him with am utter disre-
gard for his feelings. In spite Of all
this he stands true to his Spanish plat
form with the resignation OF Spanish
martyr.

Sergeant Gem, of The N. G. D., told
an Evening Journal reporter this
morning that he wished a correction
made regarding the published report
which stated that he was discharged
because he would not volunteer in the
governments service.
He said that the reason he did not
go is because there is no place for him
since the change has been made in the

would have to go as private and he can
not afford to do, for reasons best known

STANDING OF THE JURY.
The hung jury in the Cooper case
was being discussed at the county
|Court House yesterday, and speculation
was rife as to just how the twelve
IluICrs stood. Nothing of definite char
|acter could be ascerbained.
1T Reminds me somewhat Of a. case
we had when Fraser Eliason was dep

|Raney, Of New Castle, was bailiff. nh'
twelve jurors retired TO the grand jurl
room TO deliberate. Raney had chang
of them Everybody i'm the building
wanted to find out how they sscod
IaaCt Fraser EiasOn, was among Oh
number He approached Raney am
asked:
How does THE jury stand, Frank
" Eight to FIVE answered Raney
." Thanks, said EliasOn, and h
walked away and returned to the OF
| |ice.
After he got there ne began think
ling over the situation, and discoveret
that Raney had given him a problem
to solve which was that while bu
twelve jurors had been drawn to tr
the case, thirteen of them were delibeT
ating. He came to the conclusion tina
Raney was not letting him in on tn
inside as much as he at finst imagined.

AN oBuIGING MAN.

Persons who are on Delaware avenue
early in the morning and between 8
and 9 o'clock in the evening, have
doubtless noticed a One-aTmed bicy-
clist with a mail bag strapped across
the .handleIbars of his machine, ped
aling in or out The thorOughfare. In
personal appearance and dress he looks
just what he is. a man who has to work
for a living, and his bicycle is not of The
latest PATTERN. How he lost his arm
the Wayfarer does,nO know, but its
absence does not materially affect the
mariner in which he handles the ma
chime.
This man is Robert Harrigan, and
mis- home is at Kentmere. For many
years he was a sub-cOn5ractcr, Cbh-
eating himself to carry the mails be-
tween the Wilmington post office and
the Kenltmere post office for a mOder-
ate consideration. Not long ago the
government abolished the post office
at Kentmere and the pay of the sub
contractor ceased. The people Of
Kentmere were in a Quandary Har-
rigan came TO their relief He told his
friends and ueighbOrs that he would
continue to carry the mails for them
free of charge, and that is what he is
doing to-day. lie arrives at the VIII
mington post office at 7.05 O'Clock in

KITCHEN SANITATION.
DOORS FROM COOKING.

Although the odors that arise from
cooking some kinds Of food are agree
able, and all are more or less nourishing
when first expelled-others have q
coarse and offensive smell that insinuates
itself into and vitiates the air Of the
entire house unless abundant means Of
escape are provided In the kitchen.
The better class Of modern houses are
provided with a sheet-iron hood placed
over the kitchen range and connected
with the chimney by fue. This car
ries off the bulk of odors, steam, and
heat that arises from cooking, and IL an
almost Invaluable sanitary adjunct, but
It by no means does away with the ne
cessity for securing an abundant entrance
Of fresh air.
The usual practice Of opening win
dow or door when the atmosphere Of the
kitchen becomes so sitting hot or so
laden with a medley Of odors as to ar
rest the attention OF the preoccupied
cook, IL far from being rs convenient or
effective rs good automatic arrange
ment that always secures free exit for
contaminated air and an equally free
entrance Of that which IL fresh and pure
but II is the only alternative for the
most Of US, and We should not neglect
to make the best use OF IL.
This being so, the arrangement Of cur
tains on kitchen windows that are de-
pended upon for ventilation Ia OF more
Importance than We are In the habit OF
believing. After many experiments, the
most convenient and effective kind OF ar
rangement Is Holland shade on spring
roller placed four inches below the lower
edge Of the window casing across the
top. or two shades with the rollers half
way down the frame, one 10 roll up and
the other down.
At the bottom there should be sash
curtain OF some sheer wash goods-pref-
erably scrim or cheese cloth-shirred
loosely on metal rod at top and bot
tom, aud secured to position by socke,
ends fastened inside of the casing, the
lower one close to the window sill.
Hung only As screen for admitting
fresh air, the sash curtain need not b.
over six or eight inches deep, when the
room Is insuflieiently lighted.
The light thst comes In over the tor

raising or lowering OF II does not In the
least interfere with the window ventils
ton; and unless = window IL situated
close 10 the kitchen range, the out-of
doors air altering through and arount
the sash curtain will not perceptibly
cool the fire or otherwise interfere with
cooking.
There are various ways OF counter
acting some OF the more dissgreeabls
odors from food-for instance, sddins
charcoal TO the water In which cabbsg'
