A Fair Proposal.

"a reporter of the Delawarean CLEANED
the following in an interview with the
general agent of Stetson's Double
Uncle Toms Cabin Co., which will ap-
pear at Dover on North Street baseball
grounds on Saturday evening, May 26.
This company is the largest and best
Uncle Tom Co. travelling, comprising
80 first class artists. So complete is
their scenery that the piece could be
put on in barn for better scenic eff
fects than is produced by any other
company They have grand double
band and orchestra of ten pieces and
one that is hard to beat. The African
mandolin students are the first and
only colored people appearing in pub
lie and performing on the Spanish
mandolin. The Lone Star Quartette is
claimed to be without an equal, and the
Topsies, there they have something
that charms all; two Marks, the best
that big salary can secure. If we do
not give the best performance of this
piece ever seen in this city we will
cheerfully refund the price of admis-
sion. Will any other Uncle Tom Co.
do this? No, because they have not
got the show to do so. Stetson's Co.
have. The only Co. that has a Female
Creole Quartette, also Female Drum
Corps and southern cake walkers, buck
and wing dancers. Look out for the
big parade at noon.

everything that is good and pure and

Gods little friends and we must be
very kind to them, never destroying

to the girls, that it savors of the savage
woman to have their hats and bonnets
ornamented with the wings, breasts,
quills, and even the whole bodies of
these helpless little creatures Not
long ago l overheard a teacher say.
NO, | am not going to wear any more
wings on my hat, it looks too much as

That is a step in the right direction.
The influence the teacher has will do
more towards doing away with that
sort of cruelty quicker than all the
clubs and societies in existence. On
the contrary, tell them how useful they
are, even the ugly crow, the bane of
the farmers lives, is his friend. in the
way of destroying grubs and bugs. The
sparrow will keep the garden free from
worms, even if he is monarch of all he
surveys. The fly and gnat catchers

will.

nonsense, but you who know them,
their beauty, cheerfulness, and the joy
they bring would as quickly think of

OF children as summer without the
morning carol of the robins and spar

Longfellow in his poem Children"
has said:
Ah, what would the world be to us
If the children were no more.
We should dread the desert behind US,
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been herdened into wood 4
That to the world are children,
Through them it feels the glow
OF brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunk below.
And / would add, ah, what would the
world be to us if the birds and children
were no more. Nh;

DREAMS OF TWILIGHT.

When the windows fame at sunset
And the streets are sluiced with blood
And the dying day is sinking
In the nights advancing flood,
Smoky volumes lightly trailing
Veil the housetops stark and high,
Tinged with purple that the moment
Deepens in the western sky.
When the shadows round us gather
And the darkness settles fast
And each flush of life conclusive
Seems but prelude to the last,
Dreams shall soften wasted faces,
Fraught with prosage dark tonight,
Dreams that like the smoke shall vanish
At the coming Of the night

THE CENSUS.
Enumerators Must Not Dfvurge Anv
Information Secured,

In the coming census every bit of in
formation to be obtained by the emu
merators is to be taken as bearing the
date June l.. The first day of that
month is termed ''census day." Thus
If the enumerator reaches your home
June and a wedding was celebrated
in the family the day before, the high
contracting parties will go down in
the records of the government as sim
gle. That is because they were singh
June l. The census enumerators are
said to have composed a song, one
stanza of which runs like this:
Tell me, lady. tell me true,
What is your name?
How old are YOU?
The men who do the questioning are
under strict injunction, however, to
keep their information secret except
from the officials of the census. There
are heavy penalties for "blabbing''
anything the enumerator may have
learned. The law will be generally
enforced if the experience of 10 years
ago may be taken as criterion, for
for several were punished then for IN
discreet utterances.

The Court. House Matter.

The county commissioners are ia
session today. The matters up for
consideration are some road busiuess
and the settlement OF the question of
the location of the court horse. Mr..
McCrackin, representing the'company,
still declares that the county must ac-
cept the half block behind the school
house or nothing. At this writing the
commissioners have reached no decis-
ion in the matter. They may decide
to accept the half block; may declare
the whole thing off and order a new
election or may tell the company to
keep its old lots for seed and buy some
where else and go ahead with the
building. The latter plan seems1to be
looked upon most favorably by the
public.

toners until they were afraid to allow
their bills to become any larger, and
when by mutual agreement no further
credit is to be asked or extended, the
customer stalks off to another store
that never would credit him, and
spends his cash. In all reasona bleness
and fairness and business, by every
law of right and honor, it is the duty
of such customer to spend his cash
with the store he owes until every

who has extended credit at least de-
