SITUATION IN DELAWARE.


Strong Effort to be Made at Once to
Elect Senator,
Dover, Del, March Only five days
remain before the final adjournment of
the legislature and strong effort is being
made to harmonic the republican fac
tions, thus securing the election of a
successor to United States Senator Gray.
With this end in view letter was
handed to every republican member of
the general assembly to-day signed by
Congressman Grosvenor and Secretary
Dick of the republican national COM
mittee, urging an early and final settle
ment of the senatorial question. The
letter says:
1--WE do not assume to advise in re-
gard to your duty as members of the
legislature, but do want to impress you
that in close and bitter contests the
will of the majority is a safe guide. The
republican party at large is interested
not only in gaining SENATOR but also
in the future success of the party in
Delaware"
The communication is regarded as fa-
VoflnB AddlckS, as he mas tne support
of a majority of the republicans.
Eighty-nine ballots have been taken
since the voting for senator began on
January II and the deadlock has con-
tinued unchanged, the slight shifting
of the votes each day not affecting the
result. The belief here among the lead
ers is that the legislature will adjourn
finally on Monday next without filling
the vacancy and that Delaware will get
along with only one representative in
the upper branch of congress until 1901

a Chicago minister who went out tC

The minister paused before the gate

he was sure he had not made mistake

Brother Brown looked up from n

were matador or something or other

turned round so that the cut of the
smoking jacket could be seen. Then
he said:

BENT RIFLE WITH A HISTORY,
A Souvenir of the Battle of Manila
That Cost Its Insurgent Owner
His Life,

Among the many objects of interest
in the collection of war trophies and
curios from the Philippines that has
recently been placed on exhibition in
the Battle of Manila building on Wa.
bash avenue is bent and shattered
Remington rifle. This rifle is of in.
tercst because of the following story
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
During the first battles of the Amer.
lean troops with the Filipinos around
Manila charge was ordered to drive
the enemy from strong position. The
charge took the American troops over a
rice field which the enemy had occupied
at the beginning of the engagement,
but from which they had been driven.
AS the American forces charged
across the piteous cries of wounded
Filipino for water excited the COM
passion of one of the boys, who hast
ened to give him drink from his cam
teen. AS he knelt down by the side of
the insurgent the latter drew dagger
and tried to stab him. Several of the
American soldiers saw the attempt and,
Fastening up, took the insurgents gun
from beside him and beat his brains
ort. This is the gun now on exhibition.
The weapon came into the possession
of Douglas Young, editor of the Manila
Freedom, and from him passed into the
possession of the local exhibition. 1t is
of the breech-loading pattern made in
1876 and long since discarded by the
American army.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Drift of Politics as Reflected by
the Newspapers of the State.

In connection with the withdrawal
of Judge Read from the canvass for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gresham, the Bellows Falls Times
makes few insinuations about the
Office habit that has been contracted
by the neighboring town of Brattle-
boro. Brattleboro-on-the-Hog, as the
Times would doubtless like to say,
but doesn't. 1t gently stimulates the
memories of Windham county people
to recall the fact that whereas the
the town of Rockingham has not had
in the past quarter of century an
elective or appointive state office, dur
ing this time BrattleborO has hae two
governors, one lieutenant governor,
one tax commissioner, five aides-de-
camp, three delegates at large to ma
tional Republican conventions, SUI
preme court Judge, a United States
district attorney, the brigadier gener-
al commanding the state troops, and
the colonel commanding the first regi-
ment of infantry. In the light of this
showing, it only seems necessary to
surrender to Brattleboro the receipts
for the Huntington fund, let the old
state slide, and all get annexed to
Canada. Come on.-St. Adams Mes
Scnger.

DEWEY IN AN EMERGENCY.
He Has Always Been ResOurceful and
Prompt in ActiOn-An
Instance.

One striking characteristic of the ad-
miral is readiness with which he meets
every emergency. He is resourceful as
we'll as prompt in action. An illustra-
ton of this occurred during cruise

cannot be lowered without an order,
except in a case of a man overheard.
Several indictments in the crew one
night, therefore, raised the "man-over-
board" cry, lowered a boat, and scuttled
off into the darkness. Dewey was eNecu-
tive officer of the ship. and was called
from his berth. Though even then par
ticular as to dress, he didn't care about
uniforms when there was quick work
to be done, and he appeared clad only
in his night shirt.
He rushed up to the quarterback in
half gale of wind and promptly took
command in spite of his curious appear
ance. He knew his men thoroughly,
and acted promptly in spite of the dark
ness. Come back here, Jim Brown,
Tom Robinson, and the rest of YOU" he
shouted, and punctuated his remarks
with three shots from his revolver. The
shots, the ghostly figure on the quar-
terdeck, and the sudden use of their
names, startled the men into obedience,
and they came sneaking back to the
ship, while Dewey and his novel uni
form retired once more below.

the lands of this monastery to Giles
Strangways, the ancestor of the pres
ent Lord Leicester, and raised the num-
Der of swans from 500 to 500 birds.
The home of the swans to-day is as
nearly wild as possible, and is fine
combination of sea and land, the beau
ties of which are unrivaled. Bamboos,
pampas grass, fuchsias and exotic
shrubs flourish. When not engaged
with the swans the men on the estate
go mackerel fishing. Early In April
the swans gather like so many giant
albatrosses and compete for nesting
ground, very ancient habit peculiar
to the Abbotsbury birds. Each pair
crouches down on its choice of land,
and as there are perhaps 200 nests over
two acres the swans cover the fields
like flock of snowy sheep. The old

male bird drags reeds from the water
edge and places them within her reach,

DEFECTIVE HUMAN SENSES.
Unmarried Eyesight and Dullness OF
Hearing Common Among school
Children.

Since 1929, when Massachusetts es-
tablished in Boston the first American
school for the blind, similar institutions
have been founded by 35 other states,
with present aggregate of $500 pupils.
There are only 81 state schools for he
deaf, with more than 10000 pupils. But
not until recently has public attention
been called to the immense damage in
flicted on human interests by the vast
ly greater number of persons whose
eyesight or hearing is merely defective,
says the Youths Companion.
A new law of Connecticut requires
that the eyes of all children attending
the public schools shall be examined;
and many teachers have noted that de-
fective vision is quite common, and
that it is a serious hindrance to the
pupils progress.
1t has also been reported that dull
ness of hearing is associated with many
cases of backward scholarship.
In Europe an examination showed
that tout of So firemen and engine-driv-
ers, only three possessed perfectly nor
NAL hearing" A medical journal sug-
gests that where employees must be
guided by sound signals, dizziness of
hearing may be quite as serious mat
ter as color blindness must be in read
ing color signals.
The increasing use of spectacles,
among both children and adults, has
been made cause of alarm; but who
from the multiplication of umbrellas?
Yet many cases of defective vision are,
and always have been, due to ayoidable
causes. "In what ways do we abuse our
eyes?" asks the New York Times. "In
what ways do we not abuse them?" is
its suggestive reply.

from IIayi.

The British steamer Saltram. Capt.
Owen, which arrived at this port lately
from Port lie PaiX, Hayti, loaded with
logwood, passed through remarkable
thrilling experience On the way, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. On the
third day of the outward voyage John
Banks, one of the sailors. noticed a
peculiar rafting in the neighborhood
of the partition between the hold and
of his comrades to it, and. the noise
continuing. the matter was reported to
the first mate. who ordered an inves1i-
Cation to be made. The carpenter was
summoned and a portion of the wood
work hastily removed. when. to their
horror and dismay. the crew perceived
the head of a python gradually pro-
trude itself.
A hastv council of war was at once
held by Capt. Owen and it was resolved
to employ drastic means to effect the
reptiles destruction. The officers or
dered all guns laid aside, for fear the
men in their excitement should injure
one another rather than the snake, and
then commanded the crew to attack the
reptile with marling spikes and clubs.
After battle lasting quarter of an
hour lucky blow with spike trans
fixed the beasts head, and, the skin
being too mangled for preservation, the
serpent was forthwith given a watery
grave.
