the fraudulent retention and conversion
to her own use of seven teen Is gold pieces
placed in her keeeping by the members Of

A BIT OF Political History.

Speaking about the manner in
which elections have been conducted
inthe State Of Delaware for the past
thirty years. "Why." said a we'll
known Democrat to the writer in
the presence Of several gentlemen,
Il carried the money to Mill Creek
hundred that elected DR.. Swithin
Chandler to the Legislature. Ialso
carried the money up in Brandy
wine Hundred that elected Henry
NJ. Barlow to the Legislature. "
These two men were elected with
the knowledge that they favored the
Honorable Charles b. Lore for
Senator But the Gray men were
too many for the Lore men and Mr.
Lore was aSknockedout. Chas, H. Nc
Whorter was a prominent figure in
the Legislature and was a red hot
Lore man. The fight is well remem-
bered by the citizens from one end
ofthe state of Delaware to the other
and bitter were the things said
about the men who had been elected
to the Legislature as Lore men and
at the last minute went back on him
and cast their votes for George
Gray for Senator. 1t was said Mr..
Barlow was influenced by the prom
ise of being made Collector of the
Port and Dr. Chandler by the prom
Use of being made Governor This
was the last straw and Mr., Lore
quietly atterward dropped out of
politics and was elevated to the
bench as Chief Justice.

THE BOSTONIANS.

thing new and out of the ordinary
in the amusement line. The play
is a Yankee comedy, entitled Isl

the title role, supported by strong
company of clever comedians. The
comedy is in four acts, depicting
New England farm life and some Of
the more vicious aspects of city life.

place on Si's farm and contain
many of those pleasant rural pic
lures that are so pleasing and at
tractNe to a city audience. In the
third act a perfect working thresh-
ing machine is introduced, the
banging and buzzing of the machine
and the flying of the straw is 50

the auditor back to scenes and in
cidents of days gone by.

THE MOTH AND THE FLAME,

I
What will undoubtedly constitute
the most notable eventof our amuse-
ment season will occur on Tuesday
night when The Kelcey-Shannon
Company present their famous play
1.-The Moth and the Flame. This
organization is one of the very best
and their play, conceded to be the
most impressive and brilliant bit Of
dramatic work which has yet en-
anated from an American drama
fist.
| The first act gives the audience a
decidedly numerous illustration of
one among many society fads, that
of a children's party given at the
residence of a society leader by
adults. Here comedy reigns SUI
preme. Notwithstanding that trag-
edy stalks grimly in the background
and causes a shudder of horror to
! pass over the audience, as the fact
is graphically suggested of the sui
eide on the part of the host, who
prefers death to the disgrace which
must ineqitably accompany the re-
velation of his own dishonor.
1t is in the second act that the in
terest of the audience is wrought to
the highest pitch, in the church .
wedding scene, where Herbert
Kclcey. as the aristocratic scoun-
drel. seeks to wed the heroine,
Marion WoltOn (Effic Shannon) but
is prevented by the timely arrival
of 1.-The other woman the woman
