SPECIAL TRAINS FROM DOWN THE
STATE

Ii the present arrangements presagG
the success of the Republican demonstra
ton of this evening it will be the largest
parade ever held in Wilmington. Chair.
man Horace G. Knowles of the general
committee, Monday evening said that he
expects at least ten thousand Republicans
to be in the monster procession that is to
sweep proud of victory through the streets
of the city. If his expectations are real
lied the number of paraders will surpass
by far any ever witnessed in Wilmington
in one procession. Not only is Whining
ton to furnish many of the enthusiastic
Republicans, but organizations through
out the state and throughout Pennsyl-
vania are to be in line. Already invita-
tions have been sent TO fifteen Republican
clubs in Philadelphia, Chester, West
Chester, Reading and other Pennsylva
MIA towns also will berepresented by one
or more marching clubs in the cavalcade.
For the Wilmingtonians fourteen bands
already have been secured and each ward
is expected to have one or more bands
The Ninth ward has engaged two musi-
cal organizations and the Seventh ward
is to have two bands. There will be no
dearth of music, for it is proposed to
make the jubilation complete. Special at
tention is being given to the musical and
pyrotechnical features, for more than
any other they will contribute largely to
the success of the demonstration.
MANY SPECIAL TRAINS
Naturally, large crowds are expected
to pour into Wilmington to-day to see the
parade. Chairman Knowles Monday was
apprised that unlimited facilities and in
ducements will be offered to residents of
down the state to visit the city to-day.
The Delaware Railroad Company has ar
ranged for special train from all points
on the Delaware railroad and from the
branch line from Harrington to Lewes.
This train will arrive in Wilmington
shortly before six O'Clock this evening
and will leave after the parade for the
return trip. This will give an excellent
for persons from down the
state to witness the celebration.
For the special train an excursion rate
of one fare for the round trip has been Sc
cured for to-day for residents of down the
state. This reduced rate will apply to tick
cts to be used only on the special train.
number of down state clubs have ac-
cepted the invitation of the committee to
participate in the parade, and if they
turn out in great numbers two special
trains may be run over the Delaware rail- |
road for the accommodation of the para
1ers and of the public. The returning
trains after the parade will run through !
to Delmar and Lewes.
Arrangements also were made Monday |
Tor special trains for the accommodation |
Of the Philadelphia and Chester organ
cations that will parade with the Will
nington Republicans. Philadelphia is ex-
pected to send more than a thousand /
men to Wilmington to-day and the Della
ware County Marching Club may bring
;wo hundred men.

How McCuIrouxh Lost n Ret.

William II. Crane, the actor, once
told this story ON his old friend McCul-
Tough. He said that one night in San
sound sleep by Mccullough pounding
on the door of his room and in response
to his sleepy inquiry as to what was
wanted responded: LET me In, Billy.
want you to decide bet"
Once In, Mccullough told Crane that
he and the man who accompanied him
had bet $50 goldpiece as to who could
stand the longer on one foot and that
Crane must referee the contest. The
preliminaries being arranged and the
stakes deposited, time was called, and
each contestant, lifting foot from the
floor, stood like crane, while the real
Crane lay back in recumbent posi-
ton with drowsy eye on the contest
ants. The seconds dragged into min
utes, which again threatened to extend
into the hour without either disputant
giving up.
Suspectlng something was wrong,
Crane walked himself up and examined
his men more closely. The other man
was wavering a bit but Mccullough
was standing like rock. Another FIVE
minutes went by, and then Crane, hop
ping out of bed, discovered that McCul-
Tough had one foot resting against an
adjacent sofa and could have stood
there for week, IL necessary. The
other man won the bet, but the joke
was on the referee.

Never Admit Dsfeat,

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down and have
not a cent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be man, to hold your head
up and look the world In the face. Step
bravely to the front whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for you.
No one will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you pos
sess the qualities requisite for success.
Never allow yourself to be traitor
to your own cause by undermining
your self confidence.
There never was time before when
persistent, original force was SO much
In demand as now. The namby PAM
by. nerveless man has little show In
the hustling world of today. In the
twentieth century man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights and has the power
to demand and take them IL denied to
him. No one can respect the man who
sinks in the rear and apologies for
being in the world. Negative virtues
are Of no use in winning ones way.
1t is the positive man, the man with
original energy and push, that FORCES
to the front.-Success.

Got to BE an Old story.


Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, In
Venezuela, was asked by deputation
of the inhabitants, who had heard OF
his skill as a surveyor, whether he
thought a canal could be made from
their village to Provecue, which would
save very long river journey. He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
canal Of about league would be all
that was necessary.
The committee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera
and the first question asked him was:
do you not think canal could be
made from here to ProvecueT
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter, the chairman
replied that on account of politics, the
death of his father, etc, the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was ex
element. Nothing was talked about
but the canal.
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival a deputation waited upor
him. ''Do you think a canal Tho
speaker never got any further witt

An EXPLANATORY Name.

20. Mye," called the justice in the
Harrison street police court today, and
silence fell over the room, while the
crowd looked around to see why the
Justice had uttered the sudden ex-
clamation.
20. Mye! o. Myer' again called the
magistrate, more loudly, and Bailiff
Barnet hurried to the bar and asked
the justice what was offending his dig
nifty.
Call o. Mye, Mr.. Bailiff," ordered
the court, and Barnett repeated the
words In tones that could be heard on
the street. The officer glared about for
the person who he thought was guilty
OF contempt of court, and when a meek
appearing man left his seat and walk.
ed toward the bar Barnett seized him
and declared him under arrest.
rs this the man who is guilty, your
honorY asked the bailiff.
What is your name?" asked the
court, without needing Barnett's ques
ton.
20. Mye," answered the prisoner, and
the bailiff took tighter hold on his col
lar.
20. Mye?" queried the court
Eyes, your honor" from the prisoner.
Then 1t dawned on the bailiff that he
had made mistake. o. Mye, who said
his first name was Oliver, had, been ar
rested for begging on the street. When
the policeman who arrested him told
him that he had abused several persons
who had refused him aims, his name
was uttered by several In the court

Took n Costly Nap.

To begin with he's "a good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by women. 1t generally
means-wel, 1t means he's an all round
good sort In the male line.
Saturday afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite thirsty
IL what he had taken was to be judged
as criterion. And the libations left
him in thoroughly good humor, and
he felt at peace with the world.
In this delightful mental and phys
ical state he bethought him of friend
of his In Providence, and he further
thought that he would call up that
particular friend on the telephone.
So he went to a Broad street hotel,
told the young woman there who had
charge of the telephone that he wanted
to speak to Mr.. So-and-so In PrQvi-
dence and wouldn't she kindly call up
the party.
The girl did as she was babe.
"Party's on the phone" she said,
and the man went into the telephone
box. sat down and put the receiver to
his ear.
And then he calmly and sweetly
dropped off to sleep.
When he woke up, he owed the tele-
phone company $500.
He said he wouldn't pay 1t, but he
did.-Philadelphia Press.

There is the general opinion among
oculists that the eye is much relieved
by the general introduction of type
written matter. ARGENT medical work
upon diseases of the eye gives a great
many proofs in substantiation of this
opinion.
The characters are so large on the
keys that there is no appreciable strain
on the vision, and when dexterity is at
tained the eyes can scarcely he said to
be used at all. A vast strain is taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer instead of the pen, but the ad-
vantages of reading the typewriter
matter are even more important from
a medical point Of view. and the strain
upon the hands is also slight.
1t is said that a person can work for
eight consecutive hours, with slight In
terruptions, without the hands being
conscious of fatigue. In using the
typewriter the additional labor of TO
cusing the eyes calls the muscles into
undue use, and the result is that many
defects of vision which would not
probably be discovered under normal
conditions are brought to the 'front.'
