The Price of Dinner Kettles

We hope Senator Gray will remind the
workmen who attend tho Jackson Jubilee
this evening, of the enormous advance in
dinner pals since the importation from
Holland have been excluded from our
country. If We are not greatly mistaken,
he was very much concerned about the
price of those useful articles in the cam
paign of 1892, but after the election of Mr..
Cleveland, he lost sight of the price of
these articles as the luborers had little Il 20
for them. Since the election of President
Mckinley and the enactment of tie Ding
10y tariff, dinner ke, ties are in greater de.
mand, and the Senator should remind tho
people OF the imposition they are subject to
because of the tariff and their arstooratic
employers who arc "thru,tiug their hands
into the pockets of their employees up to
their elbows"
1t may be- however, that the Senator
may use some other topic to mislead his
hearers, as the dinner pail bogy has been
pretty effectua1fy~ laid, and American
manufactured pals lnonopolizc the mar
kets. Secretary Ayers report for the year
i In our country amounted to 4i6,9sl, 0G3
pound, being an increase ever the precei .
: iug year of 1896, OF lsauDo,0oo pounds, or
10 per cont, Moreover the produc ton
eqnalled four-fifths of the entire domestic
consumption. This increase is really won

SHIN the Sunday Star notice in All
editorial, Il suggestion Tor the holding Of
a "Wilmington Day" That such II day
cannot b9 held is II tact. In the month Of
October number of business men saw
where special rates had been offered to
people to visit Philadelphia. The business
men here took UP the matter to advertise
in the down sta'c papers and 10000 copies
Of the REPUBLICAN through Kent and
Sussex Counties.
They iske the railroad to give BIZ
monthly excursion to Wilmington, charg-
ing about 100 from the towns in the low
or part of Sussex and 81 from Kent county
aud single fares from all the. stations in
New Castle county. The railroad Com
pany declined to consider tho proposition.
II Ale people want to come to Wilmington
they NUT come over the railroad or not ut
all
When the time comes that the Railroad
Company is willing to secure 81 900 for ono
trip of its train between Georgetown and
this eli y aud return them We will have u
Wilmington Day. If S0Oduwn state people
would visit Wilmington it would mean
the sale Of at least III, 900 worth Of goods ia
one day to outsiders. To people who nrJ

THE TRIAL OF ESTERHAZY.

His Accusers Present Very Flimsy
Evidence Against Him. -
Paris. Jan. 1.-THE trial by court
martial Of Major Count Ferdinand Wal
sin Esterhazy, the retired officer of the
French army who came into prominence
in the latter part of November last
through the publication by Figaro Of a
number of letters. which the count is
alleged to have admitted writing, re-
flecting in strong terms upon France
and the French army was opened yes
terday under the presidency of General
De Luxer. The general impression is
that the days proceedings revealed the
utter hollowness of the Dreyfusans
charges against Comte Esterhazy and
the tlinsiness of the reasons for their
belief in the innocence of Dreyfus.
The evidence of Matthew Dreyfus was
exceedingly weak. There was a sensa-
ton in court when he declared Comte
Esterhazy "a disgrace to his profess
SION" The two men glared at each
other like wild beasts.

MILLIONS IN MONEY SAVED.
This Method Of Saving Helps
to Enrich the People.
How The People are Saving More
Money Than in Any 0ihar Way.
A Way to Have What is Needed
and Yet Save Enormous Sums.

The great millionaire, Rothschilds said:
ITO save money is the secret of rio hes. !"
There are few larger expenses In the
household than dollars fees together
with the cost of filling prescriptions
Hundreds of millions of doctors are thus
spent annually. 1t is evident, therefore,
If this vast expense can BIO stopped, it will
result in an enormous saving to the peo-
pie,
Community is becoming keenly alive to
this fact, since the people are rapidly
learning the great truth that DR.. Green e
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is fast
taking the place of physicians and their
pl descriptions in households everywhere,
and that this really wonderful medicine
will cure in cases where even physicians
tail. People are waking TO the sure ana
indisputab fac5 that a few bottles of DR..
Greene's Nervura will do more good in the
average case than a hundred dollar, spent
in physicians fees and prescriptions.

Both Parents Must Consent.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 11.-County Judge
j. II. Carpenter has rendered decision
which. if sustained, will have sweep
ing effect. He held that a child cannot
be legally adopted without the consent
of both parents, if living, and the child
has not been abandoned. J. H. Ryder,
whose wife had deserted him, was sent
to prison for forgery from here recent
ly. A 4-year-old daughter, thus left
alone, was adopted by a saloonkeeper.
\ suit by philanthropic parties to have
the order of adoption rescinded led to
the decision,
