The ladies of the Delaware Fedora
ton, who have higher idea of reform
than men, as class, have taken de-
cided stand for compulsory education.
Among the resolutions adopted was
that following the statement that there
were in our State 1000 children of
School age in the rural districts
not attending and school:
Resolved, That we, the Delaware
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
met in Milford May 4th, 1900, ear
nestly advocates the passage of Com
pulsory Education Law in our State,
and urges the individual clubs to use
every effort in this cause.
Another resolution passed was one
which urges the passage of bill by
the next State Legislature granting an
appropriation for State Normal
School to be under the care of the
State Board of Education.
Another resolution passed was one
expressing sympathy for the better
protection of birds and congratulatine
our State upon the recent formation OF

ATTORNEY GENERAL White in the
charge of bribery against DIR. T. G.
Moore with no better evidence than he
had in hand, had he possessed the
usual 'gumption" that goes with the
State Attorneys Office, would have
known better than to push his case IN
court. When DIR. Moore says en-
phatically that he gave no money to
E. NJ. Gregory or his child to register,
the mass of the people regard a re-
newell of the charges after it had been
abandoned at a previous court, per-
secution. The doctor wished the
thing settled, but he was in the hands
of his attorneys, Messrs. Ward and
Hayes, and had to take their medicine
as they administered it. His attor-
neys felt that they had a perfect
''cinch" with such a witness as Greg
ory in court, but wanted longer time
for the Attorney General and his back
ers to soak. The chances are that
when they meet again the Wilmington
attorneys will have another card up
their sleeve for these astute politicians,
who think they cannot be reached for
doing what they charge to others.

AT the annual banquet of over 500
of the New York Commandery of the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion,
which was held last week at Delmon-
ico's was made notable by two ad-
dresses. These addresses were de-
livered by a representative American
and representative Englishman. and
the nature of the subjects upon which
they dwelt invested their remarks with
unusual Importance and interest, par
ticularly at this time.
The first is an extract from Bishop
Potter's address who said:
81 saw a great many soldiers under
great many conditions, but did not
see one of them anywhere of whom
had in the slightest degree to be
ashamed. If 1 touch upon the matter
of the reported intemperance of the
American soldier in the Philippines it
is because there has been much mis-
representation in regard to it. 1 be-
lieve it can be demonstrated that the
record of the Army in regard to tenn
perance is of a thoroughly creditable
character.
The other IS from Rear Admiral w.
II. Henderson, of the Royal Navy, who
said
81 have been lately to see your Naval
Academy at Annapolis, your Military
Academy at West point, and your
Naval War College at Newport, and l
have to say that we have no institu-
tions in the Old Country that will COM
pare with them. tell you we cannot

THE State Sunday School Conven-

By a resolution adopted, the delegates
to be provided for was restricted to

The adoption of Mr.. Hepburn's bill
for the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal is to be regarded as an express
sion of opinion rather than as an act of
legislation. 1t cannot become legisla-
ton without the assent of the Senate,
and there is ground for doubling that
it will receive that. In fact it is GER
tain not to pass at this session. The
bill conflicts with the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty, which treaty, despite some pre-
tences to the contrary, is unquestion-
ably still in force.

THE EUening Journal that is greatly
improved under its new management,
is wasting an immense amount of en-
ergy in its daily assaults on Mr.. Ad-
dicks. Col. Dupont may think it good
politics whether he has done anything
for the "dear" people or not to draw a
'bee line" on the man he would like to
get out of his way, but his eagerness
for the Senatorship may have the very
opposite effect that he intends. They
are both millionaires, but entitled to
only a single vote and the right as to
who shall represent them, belongs to
the people themselves, determined by
their voice through the ballot.

Many Ways In Which 1t Finds Expres.
sion In Europe.
In Brussels, in Amsterdam, in Paris
in Berlin, one hears the music Of the
Transvaal hymn everywhere, says q
writer. The Anglo-Boer war has rous-
ed tremendous sentiment in Europe.
In every school Of Belgium, Holland,
Germany, the children have made up
collections for the families of the dead
Beers. Millions of marks, guldens,
francs have thus been sent to the sui,
ferers of the veldt. In churches. In
cafes, in concert hall, at social gather
ings, the most popular form Of benevo-
lence this winter has been the Boe1
subscriptions. If few friends in
Cologne or The Hague gathered for a
game Of whist they sent the money
played for to the Beers, who never play
cards. II dinner was given at fash.
ionable hotel the guests remembered
the farmers of the veldt, who hardly
ever saw hotel. At one restaurant in
Brussels, 1900 francs were collected in
an evening. Every city and town tna'
has newspaper has had a subscrip.
ton fund. A German rural paper
lifted $4,000 marks. Sentiment In Hol.
land, Belgium, and Germany is prac.
tically a unit pro-Boer, while in France
at least 9S per cent lean the same way.
One quite pathetic form of Boer sym.
pathy in Europe was the "Haus.

was a subscription taken in little boxes
by children who called from house to

Two weeks had slipped away. when
the Reynolds carriage, with all its ele-

broad avenue which led to the open
country in the direction of the Soldiers
Home.
Among its luxurious cushions re-
clined it's one occupant-a woman,
whose glance wandered restlessly from
beneath her lace-fringed parasol.
Suddenly her face flushed. as, COM
ing toward her, she deserted the figure
of a young man in undress uniform.
Leaning forward, she ordered the car
riage to draw up to the sidewalk.
"will you take the seat beside me?"
she asked, in sweetest tones.
'Mrs. Reynolds honors me too great
ly," he replied.
And, accepting the place offered him,
the carriage pursued its way.
For few moments there was silence:

steadily in her eyes.

ELEPHANT TRAGEDY.
Big Mammal Makes Short Work Of His
TOrmentors. 44g

Big Mammal Makes Short Work Of His
TOrmentors. .
Last Sunday afternoon, while a con-
cert was being held at the Crystal Pal
ace, an elephant belonging to circus
which had been performing there
broke from it's fastenings and killed
its keeper. It then brushed through
various partitions of wood and glass.
and appeared in the main building,
where a great number of persons were
listening to the music. It did not at
tempt to hurt any of the crowd, though
it broke off with it's trunk the uplifted
arm of a statue, probably under tbs
idea that this represented a man about
to strike. After some time it allowed
itself to be secured by another ele-
phant. It was then decided to kill the
animal, and after dose of poison had
failed, London gunmaker was sent
for as executioner, and shot the animal
dead. On the following Wednesday an
inquest was held on the body of the
man. The evidence in favor OF the
elephant could not have been more
clearly put. Mr.. Sanger, its owner,
admitted that the animal had once be-
fore killed a former keeper; and ne
gave the facts which led to the death
of the second. The first man had been
discharged by Mr.. Sanger fifteen
months previously for gross brutality
TO the animals. He came back and
asked to be employed again. This was
granted, and he was taken on, not as
a keeper, but as laborer. The very
first time he went into the stable the
elephant, though it was quite dark al
the time, instantly recognized the mans
voice, and at once crushed him to
death against the stall. The creature
had acted only in panic of horror at
the temperance of a tormentor was
so we'll established at the previous In
quest that it was retained in the men
agerie. 1t was exceptionally doclle'
and was taken through towns and VII
lagos all over England. Why, then,
did he kill the second keeper? Be.
cause this man, after his Sunday din
,ner, declared that he would pay out"
the elephant for striking him with his
trunk. He actually took a lace, one
of those taken from the Arabs In the
Soudan. (Those who have seen ths
trophies taken from the Mahdi's fol.
lowers will realize what horrible
weapon it was.) Followed by another
keeper, also armed with lance, hs
proceeded to "prod"-i. e., pierce the
chained elephant savagely. And ha
death was the elephants revenge.

Then, as the portiere fell behind
Andrew, she motioned him to the seat
beside her.
"You wish to see me?" she ques-
toned, in a low tone, laying her white
hand on his sleeve. "Why?"
He turned to her a face from which
the smiling mask had fallen, and
which looked gray and haggard in the
dim light.
''Do T not always wish to see you?"
he responded, covering her hand with
his. "Oh, Helen! such moments as
these are rare moments, when I can
come to you for counsel and sympathy;
but this afternoon I have come for
more. Do you remember once I told
you that if I ever sank so low as to

"Oh, Harvey! If it were less I might
manage it; but now"
"Now you cannot?" he cried, spring.
ing to his feet. II might have known.
I was fool to suppose that you would
jeopardize any of your present peace
and security to save sinking ship, be-
cause once you had sailed with 1t over
pleasant waters. You are right-quite
right. Well, my errand is finished,
and I will leave you."
