Heroes of the Pan

The intensity of application with
which the mind follows whatever il
lays hold Of in literary pursuits is ex-
emplified in the case of Robert Aims
worth, celebrated writer and anti
quarian of the seventeenth century. He
had been for years engaged in voIumi-
nous Latin dictionary, and while fas
cinated with this heroic work gave so
little time and attention TO his wife
that he incurred her bitterest jealousy,
and before the work was quite complete
she committed the whole to the flames.
Instead Of abandoning himself to de-
spair, Ainsworth set to work and re-
wrote it, accomplishing the entire work
in time. The same bitter disappoint-
ment was endured with similar heroism
by Carlyle when the manuscript of his
Frederick the Great" was DESTROYED
by fire.

BUCKET Shops IN WILMINGTCN-Pro
prletors of "bucket shops, doing bust
ness IN Philadelphia, were worried
looks last week. They had heard of
the decision by New York Judge the
day before, under which one of their
colleagues in the latter city was
muicted in the sum of $500, with the
alternate of spendinga year in seclusion
behind the bars as penalty for non
payment of the fine. The Philadelpbia
inquirer says: "Bucket shop keepers
nave been the central figures in court
rooms before. Sometimes they have
been convicted of conducting gambling
establishments. There are not SO many
OF them now as there were five or six
months ago. The lessening of the num-
Der is due, not to the law. however. so
much as to the margin" having pone
against the "bucket shops" on several
momentous occasions, to an extent
that wiped out the bank rolls and mt
the establishments out of business
There are fifty places in Philadelnbia.
Wilmington has two of these so
called bucket shops" doing business
on Market street, one above Sixth and |
one above Eight, and do fiourishing
business with small speculators and |
with others who have a good sized
bank roll.

The Delaware Conference convenes
at Milford to-day.
The Dickinson College Glee Club
will give concert in the Opera House,
Dover, tonight.
Invitations have been issued for the
wedding of DIR. G. r. Jakes, of Will
mington, son of John L. Jakes, of wv
oming, and Miss Susie Schley, of
Bridgeport, N. j., on April 5.
The more the ''snake" gambling
measure is investigated, the more hid

miscarriage Of justice if some parties
are not landed in Jail over this affair.
The best indications of prosperity
this country has, is the scarcity of
freight cars. The great trunk lines

pressing demand for cars.

While this Peninsula is slow to re-

couraging-provlded crops prove abun-

There is more Catarrh in this section

ticeable, and while the dramatic critics
were the first to discern a difference,
their blindness to anything outside the
narrow orbit in which their thoughts
moved would seem remarkable. Mrs.
Taber has. made a great advance in her
art" wrote one in a Boston publica-
tion. "Her pathos rings true as a bell,
and she now possesses the soft and
appealing note of suffering woman
hood. Now she is the woman" In
the same season Taber's art was COM
pared to a rapier, Keen, incisive, gilt
tering, but cold and merciless."
Men of prominence in theatrical af-
fairs say that no pressure was brought
to bear to separate the couple, but it
is a fact that Taber announced his in
tention of journeying to London for
an indefinite stay. which he followed
up with a departure and a subsequent
engagement in the Lyceum Theatre in
Sir Henry Irving's company. Mrs.
Taber, then restored, by the public at
least, to the position and title Of Julia
Marlowe, travelled and achieved success.

GOVERNOR OF CUBA,

Will Be General woods Official Des-
ignation - Confirmation Expected
al Once.
NEW YORK, December IA dis
patch to the Henld from Washington
says:
Governor of Cuba" win be the Off
cial designation of the Office to which
Major General Leonard Wood will be
assigned early in the new year as the
successor to Major General Brooke, the
present military governor of the island.
The President hopes to impress upon
the Cuban5 that under the new regime
civil government as far as possible
under military officers and men will OBJ
tain. The word civil" will not be sub
stituted for military" because that
would appear incongruous, in view of
the authority under which the Presi-
dent is operating. Nevertheless it is
the desire of the President that Gen.
Wood shall cut loose from rigid mill
tary methods and allow the Cubans the
widest latitude possible in municipal af-
fairs. Indeed, that was his principal
motive in selecting Gen. Wood for the
g~overnorship. The number of depart
ments in the island will probably be
reduced in a month or two so that there
will be no necessity for all the general
officers now there. Gen. Ludlow de-
sires, it is understood, to come home
when Gen. Wood takes command.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the
army, to Gen. Wood as Major General
of volunteers, the confirmation by the
Senate of his nomination may be ac-
cepted as a foregone conclusion. A
favorable report by the military com
mittee may be looked for on Tuesday
and his confirmation will probably i'm
mediately follow. Gen. Wood will re-
main in Washington until he has re-
ceived his new commission and will
then proceed to Santiago and arrange
for his transfer to Havana.

THE NEW BOX DRIVING COAT.

There is a distinct novelty about the
long coat for horseback riding. 1t IS
made of heavy materials capable of the
most rigid severity that tailors can Inn
pose upon its outline, without the
slightest impairment to its smart eff
FEET. Another unique feature of this
coat is its multiplicity of pockets.
There are pockets inside and outside
that seem designed for no purpose
what ever unless it be that of ornamen-
tation. On each side of the front of the
coat there is the deep pocket large
enough for the entire hand, and on the
outside of this pocket is a smaller one,
neatly stitched; then on the inside
there is another. The lapels of the
coat are cut very high ard are faced
with satin braid. On very cold days a
tight fitting jacket may be worn be-
meath the box fitting coat. The skirt is
supplied with a patent arrangement by
which it can be shortened when walk
ing, and the fashionable hat to be worn
with this habit is a jaunty sailor of pale
grey. HELEN GREYPAGE.
