GHE FIXED IT
How Wife Astonished Him by Providing
 an Exclamation Point.

There is really nothing else so touching as young wifes devotion to her husbands interests in the honey moon springtime of their love. For example, in a neat little flat in the northwest quarter of the town live two young people I know, who have not been housekeeping long enough yet to get spots on single one of the nine embroidered center pieces that were among their wedding presents. He is literary, and he uses typewriter i'll setting down his ideas. The machine he possesses has a keyboard with both black and white keys, and on some Of the white keys the letters are quite worn off from long use, leaving the keys blank. Just a few evenings ago the young man was dashing off some thing which required the frequent use of the exclamation point. Now, to make an exclamation point with bis typewriter you have to set down period, baek-pedal little, and stamp an apostrophe-I think it's used as an apostrophe-over the period, all of which takes time and patience. The young man said several things more or less under his breath about the stupid ity of men who make typewriters without exclamation points. The young wife smiled sweetly, and said nothing A typewriter is as strange to her as thrashing machine or triple expansion engine, but love lent her wisdom. When the young man came home next day she uncovered his type writer with a proud flourish. "There!" she said. i've fixed it for you. Just see what I have done?" And on one of the blank white keys the clever young creature had carefully inked the neatest possible mark of exclama- tion.

Why Sheep Have w >oI.

If you want to ask a sheep where he got his wool and why, take a dog into mountain pasture band, and if the sheep are afraid of the dog they will invariably run uphill, rather than down. You have your answer. The ancestors of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep of the present day, lived among high mountains and needed their woolly covering to protect them against the constant cold of high at mospheres. They chose the high and inhospitable region to live in because they found the fierce fesh-eating ami mals of the plains too strong for them. A proof of these facts is that wool grows on sheep the year round Chicago News.

Naturally the Jews retaliate, and delight in getting Rus sian officials and nobles under their power with loans of money. One mill lion five hundred thousand Jews live in the Austrian empire, where they are perseeuted. The present mayor and corporation of Vienna were elected for the express purpose of bullying the Jewish community France has S0,~ 900 Jews, Roumania has 100000 Jews, Germany 100000, Holland S0,000. and Italy 5O,O0O.

So altogether there are 7,120,000 of this nation, which is pretty fair, considering that 5000 years ago they only numbered about 3.00O,- 900, and the whole civilized world has been massacring and bullying them ever since.

ODDS AND ENDS.

In France, If person dies leaving sufficient money to pay his debts, the doctors bill is settled first, and then the rest of the deceased's liabilities are dealt with.
 There is monastery at St. Honorat, on an island near Cannes, France. which has existed since the fourth cen- tury. During the fourteen centuries since it was built no woman has ever been allowed to enter it's walls.
 London is admittedly one of the healthiest places in the world, and its inhabitants generally manage to live to a good age. Mir. Charles Abbott, who was also known as "the Abbott of Charterhouse," died last month, after completing his 101st year. He was the last survivor of family of twenty two brothers and sisters, one of whom died only few months before com- pleting his century. MT. Abbott carried his age well, was not a teeto- taller, but drew the line at tobacco.
 The Instinct of elf-Defense.
 Every boy who owns rabbits knows that if a stranger goes into the shed where they are kept they give re- sounding thud with their feet upon the floor. This Is a warning signal. Wild rabbits strike the ground the same way just before they enter their burrows. An interesting point is that rabbits give this warning stamp with their hind feet, while sheep, deev and antelope use the fore feet This is be- cause the action of striking was in former times method of defense or attack, and in rabbits the hind legs are more powerful; in the other ami mals mentioned the fore legs. s.-Ghi- cago News.

: The Date OF Easter.

Why Easter, unlike Christmas, should be
movable feast has often been asked, bu t
1t is not so readily answered. To have the
date of Easter Sunday fixed definitely so
that Its place in the calender q year or so
years ahead could be stated as exactly and
readily by people in general as that of
Christmas would be a convenience. The
majority of even Catholics and Episco-
paiians have at present but indistinct and
probably inaccurate ideas as to why Easter
is celebrated on such or such date and are
content to leave the time of its celebration
70 De announced by the calendar makers.
Aside from saying tile abstruse calculations
employed in determining the Easter date
there would certainly be advantages in hav-
ing the entire Christian world celebrate the
Easter festival upon the same date, and
rope Leo XIII is said to be about to take
the initiative in the matter by fixing the
time Of Easter, after the present century,
on the. third Sunday before the spring
squinox, provided the Greek church viii
adopt this reckoning along with the Gre
gorian calendar. thus bringing the two
great divisions of the Catholic Church into
uniformity as to the feasts and festivals Of
the Christian year.

but it is finding but little public interest,

CERTAINLY no worthy Delawarean
will in any way disapprove of the ap-
pointment of ex-senator George Gray
by President Mckinley to judgeship
for the Third Judicial Circuit. He
makes the third member of the Circuit,
the office having been created b. Con-
gress because of the increase of work.
His associates will be Judge Acheson
Of Pittsburg and Judge Dallas of Phila-
delphia. The circuit embraces Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware,
and the salary is $4,000 for life, retiring
on full pay after IL years. Senator
Gray has been not only an able repre-
sentative in the United States Senate,
standing to the front among his associ-
ates and always respected by his party
opponents, but he has shown himself a
patriot, yielding to the persuasions of
the President and others when duty
called for statesmen as commissioners
to Paris. The appointment is worthy
both President Nc Kinley and Mr..
Gray, and an honor to Delaware. The
oath of Office was administered by
Judge Bradford on Thursday ard it is
now Judge Gray.

week passed the following appropriate
resolutions:
.Wbereas, The Democratic party
having confidence in the integrity and
honesty Of Elisha H. F. Farlow, VIII
liam F. King, Of Sussex county, and
James B Clark of Kent County, did on
the Sth day Of Move mter, 1898, elect
them to represent the true principles
in that party in the General Assembly
"And, whereas, 1t was the express
wish of the Democratic party that eacn
member so elected, should at all times
stand firmly for the principles 50 enun-
ciated by the platforms adopted by the
party.
"And Whereas, One Of the declara-
tions of that platform was specinc IN
opposing one, ,JohnEdWard Addicks,and
his methods of attempting to debauch
the political parties Of this State.
"And Whereas, The said Elisha ID.
F. Farlow, William F. King and James
B. Clark did betray the trust contided
in them Notwithstanding the earnest
protests of the Democrats there present
--on the 18th day of March, in joint
Assembly met, by their votes for the
said John Edward Addicks, for United
States Senator.
"And Whereas, It is the general
opinion that the said Elisha II, +.
Farlow, William F. King and james B.
Clark were corrupLly influenced to so
vote.
s'Therefore Resolved, By the State
Central Committee of the Democratic
party in meeting assembled at Dover,
this 29th day March, 1899, that we de-
nounce and condemn the actions OF
the said Elisha H. F. Farlow, William

voting for the said John Edward Ad-
dicks, and hereby declare that they are
no longer worthy to be considered mem.
bers of the Democratic party, or of the

THE Belshazzar feast, as some are
wont to call the Jeffersonian dinners
which are to take place in New Yolk
April 18th, is getting any amount of
notoriety from Democratic sources.
These dinners are designated as Bryan
and Gorman's fight for supremacy.
The formers admission charge will be
81 cover, while the latter will be $40.
These di ners are divided into two
classes; one poor mans dinner
where 46 cents represent a dollar, and
the other plutocratic feast, and democ-
racy is invited to take choice. The
business wreckage and poverty that
followed the adoption of the Cleveland
revenue policy, didn't leave enough
surplus in the pockets of the majority
of business men for one dinner, to say
nothing of two, but under Republican
prosperity things have changed, al
though their words and actions do not
agree. This evidence that can not be
set aside-Denton Union.

PROBE DEEPER,

The investigation now being made
by the State authorities into matters
belonging to the closing days Of the
General Assembly have the approval
of every pure and patriotic Delawarean.
Let the probe 60 deeper. Nothing
short of full Investigation can or will
be accepted by the people. AS might
be expected the Addicks organs are
throwing every obstacles in the way,
unworthy insinuations being their
chief instrument this week. They
sneeriDgly insinuate that Mr.. Shakes
peare's vote for Mr.. Gray needs atten-
tion. Has George Gray ever been
known as boodler in all his public
life2 Has John Edward Addicks ever
been known as else than hood Ter since
his advent into Delaware politics? "He
has the boodle'' has been the excuse of
his party associates for their endorse
ment of him. 1t would seem that their
political policy is to drag every man
dGwn to the Addicks level. Let the
investigation be SO wide as to embrace
Every subject suggested, the honest and
honorable can stand it.
The policy of the TRANSCRIPT is to
defer judgment in cases pending, the
facts, however, may be stated. The
probing has SO far caught one member
of the General Assembly in the net of
bribery charges. Representative F. H.
Lattomus this week charged Represen.
tative Mark L. Davis with having Of
fered him bribe Of $4,000 to vote for
j. E. Addicks for Senator. The charge
was made apparently with great reluct.
ance, as it would be naturally, but be-
ing under oath there was no escape, Mr..
Davis is among the most intelligent Of
Addicks members of the Assembly and |
there is surprise that be should be ac-
cused of SO grave charge.
But there are others. Evidently |
Farlow, King and Clark expected Others
to follow their lead and those men
should be probed to the surface. It
will not do to let them escape. Probe
deeper.
1t is said the investigation into the
snake gambling bill" will lead to the
calling of five men before the Kent
county grand jury.
To catch the scoundrels guilty Of the
'ffort to fasten, that bill upon the State
ind to punish them will alone satisfy
he people.
That their efforts failed is not mater
al-they are as guilty as though they
lad succeeded. Let the probe go to the
'ottom in all the Investigations.
