INNOVATION In
STREET VEHICLES
Ten AutO-CaretteS Built by
Jackson & Sharp Go.
RUBBER TIRED and TRACKLESS
Will Traverse the Streets Of Wash
ingtOn-FiVe Of Them Shipped
To-day
RUBBER TIRED and TRACKLESS

One of the greatest innovations in
street vehicles has been built by the
Jackson and Sharp Company and will
be shipped to-day and Wednesday.
They are a departure, and are called
autocarettes, being just between a
street car and an automobile in their
construction. The body of the autos are
miniature trolley cars, while the run
ming gear is of the rubber-tired auto
mobile character. They are built for
use on the streets OF Washington, ID,
c., and are an experiment which in all
probability will prove successful and
open a new and pleasant mode Of street
travel, more satisfactory than the regu-
lation trolley car.
SMALL, BUT PROMISE OF SPEED.
The construction of the auto
carette gives the general opinion that
the vehicles will be able to traverse the
even streets of the capital at the speed
Of any automobile.
The bodies of the vehicles are II feet
long, feet inches between sills, and
feet wide between the windows. The
interior is fitted up in the same style as
a standard type of closed trolley cars
being finished in cherry with concavC
and convex panels. the ceilings of bur
lap and the seats of woven rattan. The
windows are large and made to dror
within the walls. They are supplied
with roller curtains. The construction
is light throughout and there is a large
observation window in the forward end
of the car at the back of the motor
mans station.
POWER ON DRIVING AXLE.
While the storage batteries are sus
pended between the front drive wheel:
and the small rear wheels, or trailers
the motor is on the driving axle anC
the autocarette is supposed to run for.
ward the same as an automobile. Th'
interior of the auto is lighted by sil
incandescent lamps The wheels OF th'
carettes will be rubbertired and the!
will run without rails
The exterior of the carettes resembles
trolley car with the exception of thu
trucks. They are painted a rich vel
low, trimmed in cream with gold ant
silver decoration and lettering.
AS five Of the carettes will be shipped
to-day and five more next Wednesday
Washington will soon be alive with tn
new vehicle of Wilmington build. The
will be used to carry passengers to an
from the railroad stations and in ever
way ape the trolley car. The fare vii
be the same as on street cars, and eacl
autocarette will have its run.

REPUBLICANS ARE CONSISTENT

Resolved, That we entirely approve
OF the course pursued by the Repub.
lical delegates elected to the National
Republican Convention at Philadelphia
and that we highly commend their ac-
tion In refusing to accept a half vote
in said convention. and to thereby be.
come a party to the recognition of Ad-
dicksism, or to accept any response
bility for the same"
Those are werds which breathe the
spirit Of true Republicanism, and which
constitute the death-warrant Of Ad-
dicksism They are in line with party
probity and consistency, and express
the sincere sentiment Of every mem
Der Of the Republican State Committee.
At the meeting OF that committee on
Saturday afternoon there was but one
sentiment and but one expression of
sentiment 1t was that the Republi-
can delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention had acted wisely in refusing
TO recognize Addicks as Republican
and his party as a Republican organi-
zation, and that, regardless Of the ac-
tion OF that National Committee in
seating Addicks and his delegation, IL
was the duty OF every Delaware Repub-
lican to resent that recognition and Ia
continue in his course OF uncompro-
missing antagonism OF Addicks and
Addicksism.
That State Committee meeting was
attended by prominent Republicans
from all parts of the state. They had
conferred with the Republican electors
in their several districts before coming
here. Their words and acts expressed
the sentimnt existing among Republi-
cans in the several constituencies. In
no instance was there an expression
which could be construed into a desire
OF an inclination to recognize Addicks
or to accept that leadership which tn,
national organization had sought tC
impose upon the Republican party OF
Delaware.
This is well. It is as it ought TO be
Consistency, the good name Of the Re
publican party and the fair name OF
the State demanded the action taken
The state Committee has been true tC
the trust reposed in it by the Republi
can electors. IL has met the expec
tations OF the people and win receive
their approval.
Now let us have our State Conyen
tion, formulate our platform. name on
candidates and go into the fight with
full determination to show by the elec
tion Of Mckinley and Roosevelt an
the defeat Of both Addicks and tn
Democrats that the Republican part
OF Delaware knows its place in polite
and intends to occupy il to the enl
that the people Of the State may benef
by its participation in public affair
This is no time for a temporizing po
icy. This is no time to compound
political felony. But it is a time whe
every man who deems himself worth
OF being called a Delawarean shou
take q stand and not linger betwe,
the lines. higgling and haggling 4
terms which. with Addicks in the flel
would be ignoble at any price.
