SOME Democrats are saying nothing
against trusts, but are saving wood in
chat way, while others are saving
wood by saying whole heap. These
two apparent contradictions exist on
this Peninsula. On this side of the
Delaware line the Democratic press is
bowling on what Havemeyer and a
drummer says about trusts. 1t swal-
lows the two whole because it wants a
political issue for next year. It takes
cognance of any and everything that
goes on at distance, but is unmindful
IT it's parsy's doing in Delaware.
There they are after the trusts for
what they can make out of them. A
few months ago the party which op-
poses (?) trusts set their nets for them
and already they have realized over
$4,000 legalizing trusts to do what
our Democratic neighbors call crime.
They do not attempt to explain these
t"O AACOuoi0touCicSs Ou6db lU6 fOt6F
seems to be the slogan at present. A
glance at what is termed at Dover a
shrewd move, reveals the fact that the
Democratic mill in that State has
ground out of these horrible combines
enough to pay the salaries OF about
every administrative officer in Della
ware. Is it not a little singular the
Democratic press on this eide IF the.
fane have not learned how they do il
over there? Would the press go IN in
this reckless manner IL they were post
cd on it2 If it is legally and morally
wrong to charter trusts then why
should the Democratic party In Della
ware do it2 Wien these questions are
Sasisfactorially answered there are
other things the public would like to

Gowns for Young Girls.

For girls of from Ia to Is the Powered
organdies are the daintiest and most
attractive things that can be worn.
These need not of necessity be very ex-
pensive, for there is wonderful range
of designs in the cheaper materials 1t
is best not to make them in too elab-
crate a fashion, although they do re-
quire considerable lace and ribbon. A
very attractive little frock just finished
is Of pink organdie lowered with
deeper pink. 1t is made up over a
lawn skirt, the skirt of the frocK itself
being gored and trimmed with bands
of insertion and one ruffie edged with
narrow lace. The body of the waist is
full at the back, but the fulness is
drawn down under the belt. In front
it is full, the fulness shirred in on the
shoulders, and is trimmed with inser-
tion, and on either side of the inser-
ton is little edge of the same lace.
This little edging on either side of the
insertion gives much softer look than
when the ordinary entre-deux is used.
The sleeves are small, but have some
fulness at the top, and are strapped
with bands of the insertion, with the
little edging on either side, the whole
way from the shoulder to the wrist. -

statistics OF Railrond Equipment.

On June 30th, 1898, there were Sc, 23A
locomotives in the service OF the rail
ways. This number is larger by 248
than the previous year. OF the total
number of locomotives reported, 1856
are classed as passenger locomotives,
20, 1927 as freight locomotives, and 5, 234
as switching locomotives, small num-
Der being unclassitied. The total num-
Der of cars Of all classes reported as in
the service of railways on the date
Lamed was /, 326, ia, being an increase
of 26,694 as compared with June Both,
1897. OF the total number, 80, sos
we're assigned to the passenger service
and 1,24S, 1926 to the freight service,
As, 753 being assigned to the service of
the railways themselves. The number
of cars owned by private companies
and individuals that are used by rail-
ways in transportation is not covered
by reports filed with the commission.
An inspection of the summaries
which arc designed to show the density
of the equipment and the efficiency of
its employment, shows that during the
year ending June 30th, 1898, the raIl-
ways in the United States used 20
locomotives and rs cars per 100 miles
of line. Referring to the country at
ldlBts ~ upJbulo bllhb pdoocnEtlo
were carried, and l,343. 906 passenger
miles were accomplished Per passenger
locomotive. and AZ, GA tons of freight
were carried. and $3.50, 49S ton miles
accomplished per freight locomotive.
All of these items show an increase as
compared with those of the previous
year ending June 30th, 1897.
Including under the term equipment
both locomotives and cars, it is noted
that the total equipment of railways
on June Both, 1883, was 1852, 40S. OF
this number GAL, 262 were fitted with
train brakes, the increase being
115, 976, and 909,574 were fitted with
automatic couplers, the increase in
this case being $50, $40. The sum
maries indicate that practically all of
the locomotives and cars assigned to
the passenger service are fitted with
train brakes, and that out of total
of 1856 locomotives assigned to this
service ., 105 are fitted with automatic
couplers, and 80, 697 cars out of total
of 33, 800 cars in the same service are
also SO fitted. A corresponding. state
ment for freight equipment is as
follows Out of total of 20,627 loco
motives assigned to the freight service,
10. Ala are fitted with train brakes and
6, 229 with automatic couplers, but ont
of total of 1,2iS, s26 cars assigned to

ARE FIGHTING IN EARNEST
No Doubt as to the Yaquis
Being on the Warpath.
AMERICANS AND MEXIGANS KILLED
Inhabitants of Many Towns
Are Terrorized.
Con. Torres Is Reported Among tho slain
Probably FIFTY Have Been Killed on Each
sids-The Outbreak Is n Great Surprise TO
the State and Army Officials.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. IA special
Democrat says:
Amy doubt that the Yaquis are on
the warpath in earnest was dispelled
today, when news reached here that
several Americans and Mexicans had
been killed in Pueblo and other towns
in the Yaqui River Valley east and
southeast Of this station.
1.-THE courier who came in with the
news of the slaughter declares that he
saw desperate fight at a point 40
miles southeast Of Ortiz, and that he
has positive evidence that j. F.
Remley, merchant of Hermosilo, and
E. Miller, photographer in his en-
ploy, were among the killed. Remley
was one of the best-known Americans
in Sonora.
"The inhabitants Of the towns in
and near the Yaqui Valley are in q
state of terror.
"Gen. Torres, commander OF the first
military zone, which includes Sonora,
Sinatoa and Lower California, who
was in the field with the Twelfth
Regiment, is reported among the slain.
"No information is obtainab1e, as
yet, of the number of fighting Indians
under arms, but, il the outbreak is of
the proportions of the war ended in
1897, the number may be placed at
between 5000 and 1900. This out
break is a surprise to the State and
army officials.
lit is impossible to secure accurate
figures as to the total number killed to
date, but the estimate of so on each
side is not considered excessive"

STRIKE IN NEW YORK AND VICINITY.

New York. Aug. LA strike of boiler
makers and ironworkers began in this
city and vicinity today.
The ironworkers employed in E. P.
Morse's shipyard, Brooklyn, numbering
800 men, quit work today. The hos
pi!al ship Missouri and the transports
Wright and Logan are at this yard
undergoing repairs.
At Burlee's shipyard, Staten Island,
600 men struck, demanding shorter
hours and more pay.
A strike had been expected at
Nixon's yards, Elizabeth N. j., but
the men there voted to continue at
work.
Cleveland, o., Aug. This is the
10Th day of the present street car strike
in this city, and apparently it is no
nearer settlement now than when it
began. The Big Consolidated officials
state that every line in their system is
in full operation, and on the more i'm
portant lines the regular schedule is
being maintained. The boycott move
ment has spread SO rapidly that it has
now reached the downtown Wholesale
and department stores. In many cases,
the proprietors of these establishments
are requesting their employees not to
ride on the Big Consolidated cars. In
some instances, however, the merchants
have fatty refused to take part in the
boycott, and declare they will have
nothing to do with it no matter what
the result may be.
