The Republican primaries in New
Castle county have been postponed
from September 20 until Octobe' 6. This
action. which was taken yesterday af-
ternoon, was due to the failure Of the
County Committees to give the legal
ten-days' notice to the sherin and the
Department Of Elections. 1t is well to
be on the safe side in a matter of this
sort, for after the Republicans carry
the county they will want no question
raised as to the legal status of the men

Wage earners i'm Delaware appreci.
ate the comforts and pleasures that
come with plenty Of work. They have
learned to distinguish between the
business prosperity which accompanies
Republican rule and the hard times
which come whenever Democrats at
tempt to administer our national af-
fairs. Mckinley and prosperity arc
preferable to Bryan and disaster. When
workingman votes for an avowed
enemy OF capital he strikes at him
self for the interests OF capital and
labor are joined. Without capital Ia
Dor must perish. Without labor cant
tal must remain inactive and lose that
earning power in the benefits of which
labor shares. That man is the best
friend of labor who does the most TO
make capital and labor work together
harmoniously for mutual benefit. and
not he who seeks to array capital
against labor and labor against capi-
tai, as Mr. Bryan is doing.

PRIMARIES Arb
TO BID POSTPONED
Will be Held October 6, In
stead Of September 20
Failure to Give Notice to Sheriff and
Department Of Elections The
Cause

Republican primaries in this county
will be held on October 6, instead of next
Saturday, September 20. The postpone
ment was caused by the failure to give
two weeks notice of the intention to hold
the primaries to Sheriff John Il. Taylor
and the Department of Elections
W hen the joint campaign committee Of
the county committees organized two
weeks ago there seemed to be an under
standing that notice was to be served on
Sheriff Taylor and the Department Of
Elections that September 20 had been Sc
lected Tor joint primaries. The duty of
giving the notice, il is said. should have
devolved on Chairman $. Frank Ewart.
Of the joint committee, but there was a
misunderstanding and the required no.
tices were not given.
A meeting of the joint county commit
tee was held yesterday afternoon at
which the matter was taken up and at
the conclusion it was decided to hold the
primaries on October 6. Immediately Mr..
Ewart and DR.. L. II. Ball, chairman Of
the Republican County Committee. filed
written notices of the date selected with
Sheriff Taylor and the Department Of
Elections.
1t was understood 10y the leaders that
as the date for the Union Republican pri-
maries, September %, had not been with
drawn. an extension of time could be re-
Questcd and the joint primaries could
have been neld then. 1t was feared that
this procedure might raise the question
of legality and regularity when the ticket
would be fled with Clerk Of the Peace
Foard to be placed on the official ballot
TO avoid any question of legality Of its
actions the date was changed.
The change. however. is not satisfac-
tory to the candidates because all of
them had arranged to close their cam
paign next week. Another week will en-
tail considerable expense
State Chairman j.. Frank Alice, Of the
Union Republican State Committee. and
Dr. Caleb r. Layton. held a curbstone
conference with State Chairman Philip
Q. Churchman OF the Republican State
Committee, at Ninth and Market streets
yesterday afternoon. After the confer
ence both chairmen said that no meetings
to consider the situation have been ar
ranged.
Harry \. Richardson, Of Dover was in
this city yesterday and called upon
number Of prominent Republicans Mr.
Richardson was OF the opinion that John
Hum, candidate for governor, is a strong
man to head the ticket.
Dr. Caleb r. Layton declared yesterday
afternoon that he and Chairman Alice
had gone into the committee meeting in
this city on Tuesday with the intention
Of placing Or. Ball on the ticket for con-
gress, hut they "were thrown on their

BIBLE TITLE CONTEST.
Ancient Oxford University Declared
Alone Entitled to Use the Word
"OxfOrd."

Ancient Oxford university was de-
clared by Justice Wheeler, of the
United States circuit court, to be alone
entitled to the word "OXford" as a
Bible trademark. The famous English
university brought an action against
the Wilmore-A Andrews Publishing COM
pany of New York city for an injunc-
ton to prevent that firm from using
the word "OXfOrd" on it's Bibles, and
Justice Wheeler decided the case in ia
vor Of the plaintiff.
At the trial last November the orig
inal edition of the Oxford Bible,
valued at $500, was produced. 1t was
charged that there were 10000 errors
in the WilmoreAndrews edition of the
Bible. S. G. Andrews, of the firm, tes-
tilted at the trial that the presses
cuts and prints of the Bible to his
firm had cost 100000. A similar ap,
plication made in England for an in
junction met with a failure.
The injunction will prevent. the de-
PENDANT firm from publishing any
more Bibles bearing the name Of the
university.

the nervous tone in which he said;
1--WE are all in the hands of God" be-
trayed the intense emotion he was
undergoing. But as the gorgeous
banquet proceeded Great Britain's flu
ture king regained that geniality for
which he is distinguished, and mirth-
full laughter prevailed at the royal
table. His royal highness also on this
occasion inaugurated custom which
may become popular at large public
dinners where the guests are SO num-
erous that they can scarcely recog-
nize each other. With his coffee and
cigars the princes special attendant
brought him a huge pair of field
glasses, with which he carefully scru-
tinted the long table and the galaxy
of beieweled women who filled the
balconies in order to hear the
speeches.
