SALE OF STATE LANDS.
The Land COmmissioneF Receives .
Flood Of Applications TO buy.

Land Commissioner Bridges, at Olympia.
Is taking advantage of the appropriations
allowed him By the last legislature for the
selection of state lands and has materially
augmented his force OF cruisers and in.
spectors. Thomas Mallory, Of Mr.. Bridges
office, who was in the city yesterday, said
that there are now ten cruisers and in
spectors in the field. sent out by the land
commissioner to make selections of state
land from townships lately thrown open
by the interior department. This force is
much larger than has been employed by
the state for some time past. Mr. Mallory
says.
Applications for the purchase OF agri-
cultural and timber lands are coming in
at q rate that is almost unprecedented"
said Mr.. Mallory. This is because the
commissioner will be able to sell lands
under the appropriations made by the last
legislature TO cover the expense OF survey,
advertising and sale. The appropriation
TO cover this Item was SO. 600 or twice that
allowed by the legislature of 1897"
In this connection, il should be borne in
mind that owing 10 the mistaken attitude
OF the legislature OF 1897 the Office OF the
land commissioner was crippled by reason
of the me2ger appropriation 10 cover the
expense OF appraisement and sale of school
lands. On account of this the sale or
lands was stopped for a considerable period
prior 70 the meeting of the last legislature
This work can now be prosecuted owing
70 the fact that the legislature made a sui
fc.ent allowance for the land commits

xword About Banks.

w have commended for some time past
'taas hank stocks wore getting more I'M
assitai,is In Delaware for q permanent
Adjustment than any Of tho many other
securities which have been looked upon
- safe Investments. Since granting the
charters to the three trust companies In
sour city, and two Of which have been for
several years doing business the bust
dess Of the banks has every year become
less profitable and the price to-day at
which their stock is selling is quite con-
trast with what tho securities brought six
years ago. Take the Bank of'Delaware
whose pnr valuc u $500 share and which
has sold for over $500 a share can now be
bought for t4s5 share.
New Castle which has one bank, known
az the Farmers Bank will go on, OF tusi-
neas
The Farmers Bank has four branches in
Delaware. One IL located Mt Wilmington,
another at New Castle, tho third At Dover,
and the fourth at Georgetown. Lack Of
patronage has compelled the directors to
close the Institution Mt New Castle. The
same thing will take place In this city in
! sido of six years. It. is all owing to the
business that the Trust Companies have
tnken from the hanks by Offering 2 per
cent interest on all balances on demand
Then the Trust Companies have entered
into renting and tho selling Of real estate
which cuts more Of a figure amongst our
roal estate men than some people have az
idea Of and have been one OF the causes for
dullness amongst tho real estate agents.

THE STORY OF A MODEL.
She Posed For One Picture and Lift
ed n Farm Mortgage.


cd n Farm Mortgage.
Had it not been for mortgage on
Missouri homestead tho world would never
have seen As,lcy d. NJ. Cooper's wonder
full painting "Trlby" There might
have been painting of that subject by
the same artist but it could never have
been the masterpiece the present painting
is. 1t was that mortgage that gave Mr..
Cooper his beautiful model.
Some years ago this young woman was
living the happy lifo of country girl on
her wealthy fathers farm in western Mis-
souri,. She grew up wild and free, unre-
strained in spirits and form, living very
close to nature. No corsets ever encircled
her waist and no tight shoes distorted her
feet. She grew to womanhood an unfet-
tered child Of nature beautiful in face
and form. Then came misfortune for her
father. The grasshoppers devastated his
fields, and he was compelled to mortgage
the homestead, The father sickened and
died, leaving his wife and daughter with
out resources and with mortgagcd home.
They went to Kansas City, where the
mother secured employment as a cashier
in a department store and the daughter as
cloak model in the same establishment
Their common purpose was to save money
enough to pay off the mortgage on the
homestead. As they came and went to and
from their work they attracted attention,
and soon all eyes were upon them. The
young woman soon became known as the
"Living Venus" and as such was known
to many people who knew nothing Of her
life.
At this time ar artist friend, who lived
in Kansas City, wrote to Mr.. Cooper that
he had seen the woman of goddeSslike
form who alone would serve for model
for q perfect Iriiby, knowing that
Cooper was searching for such a model.
The artist went posthaste to Kansas City
He managed to secure an Introduction to
the beautiful girl, and with all possible
tact suggested his purpose, She indlg
nantly refused his Offer, but Cooper was
SO impressed with her beauty that he
would not be content with refusal. He
argued with the mother, persuaded her
and promised price that would raise the
mortgage and endeavored to show the
daughter that there need be no sacrifice of
her maidenly modcsty. He told her that
her mother could go with her and be with
her all the timo she was posing Finally
she yielded. At Cooper's beautiful home
in San Jose, Cal, during the following
four months, she was tho solo model md
furnished tho Inspiration for this great
picture. When thc picture was completed,
both mother and daughter returned to
Kansas City HE2ro the daughter was

The Old Swedes Church,

II. c. Fraim, Esq, has made a
very complete pen picture of the Old
Swedes Church, including the giant
buttonwood with its overshadowing
branches, the surrounding grave
showing the tombs and head stones.
The picture ofthe building and sur.
roundings arc so complete that they
would be recognized by anyone who's
ever beheld them. Mr.. Fraim is
certainly an accomplished artist,
and also we'll verscd in law and lit,
crature. He will have the picture
framed and it may be retained in
his family for generations to come,
as it certainly is well worth pre-
serving, In his hand 1.-THE pen is
mightier than the sword.
