A Hard Jolt.

About 1870 yesterday morning, one
OF Joe Mares roadsters, which he was
driving on Water street, hitched to q
cart, took the bit and tried his best to
do his own driving. In front of Garba-
RIM Bros. shop, on the opposite side Of
the road, stood a horse hitched to a top
buggy. Mares cart struck the
buggy, disabling both hind wheels and
doing other damage. Marie himself
shot into the air like an arrow and
landed broadside in the road. He
scramb led to his feet in short order and
declared he was not hurt. 1t was q
close call.

tried here about year ago and iudg-
ment given for the county cancelling a
town site deed held by the defendant,
Gilbert.
In the other case on the settlement
OF the final account in the Brignoli
estate the Court here allowed Executor
MoriziO for his counsel $500, but he

appealed; the higher tribunal however
decided against him. Attorney Nc

parties in the Supreme Court.

insanely, interested in the outcome, be-
cause of having staked their worldly
wealth upon it. encourage them and assist
them in every way possible. The squaws
are as interested as their lords They
arrange themselves in lines on either side
of the players, and occasionally break
into monotonous chants or indulge in the
peculiar movements that pass for dane
ing among the American aborigines. All
night long this is kept up without inter-
mission, the Indians apparently being in
capable of fatigue.
To the spectator the game is most mo-
notonous, but never so to those who have
so deep an interest in the outcome of
the play. In former days. when tribes
came together to the number of hundreds
and even thousands on each side, when
such forms of wealth as have been in
troduced by whites were unknown to them
and they had only their native articles
to wager when they were dressed in their
native costumes. the scene must have
been far more wild and picturesque Now
the men wear wooden shirts and overalls
and the women are arrayed in sloveny
calico dresses with shawls over their
shoulders, and colored handkerchiefs on
their heads.

What We Have Always said.
We are pleased to note that scientists
of reputation are coming to share the
views held by the proprietors of War
ner's Safe Cure for the past twenty years,
viz: that the kidneys are the great elimi-
mating organs of the system Nature
made them so and man never has nor can
improve on nature. If the poisons Of the
system are driven out as nature INTENDED
health is assured. but If these great or
gans are overworked. sick, and breaking
down, allowing the poisonous, waste mat
ter to be retained in the system, ill-health
is certain and unless help is given death
will result
The sensible course to pursue is to put
the kidneys in good working order by the
use of Warmers Safe Cure-a vegetable
specific for all kidney disorders; cure
that has been put to the severest tests in
all parts of the civilized world and never
failed of doing all that was claimed for
it.
1t is not physical exercise men and wo-
men want, but that the great organs of
the system exercise their natural func-
tions and Warmers Safe Cure is the aid
needed to put them and keep them i'll per-

Senator Davis His toe was poisoned by

The kidneys work easily during youth
up, say, to thirty-fve years of age. But
after fifty they become slightly atrophied,
they shrink a little. This is not disease,
but a simple effect of age. Consequently,
as a man advances in years he should
ask his kidneys to perform a little less
work, instead of a little more.

waste, the broken-down brain cells and
those of the muscles likewise. Thus the
kidneys are forced to do dobule duty, to
eliminate pofsons resulting from two sorts
of action.

JUDGE LORE 10 YEARS OF AGE

Chief Justice Charles B. Lore was 70
years old Saturday and at the session
Of the Superior and General Sessions
Courts received numerous congratula-
tions.
Judge Lore is the fourth oldest mem
Der in length Of years at the bar. He
was admitted in 1861. His predecessors
who still live are Judge William G..
Sprurance, admitted in 1855; Richard G..
Cooper, Of New Castle, 1858; Benjamin
Nields, 1859.
Chief Justice Lore was born at Can't
wells Bridge, st. Georges hundred. He
began the study of law under Judge
Finley in Philadelphia, and had he con-
tinued without interruption, would have
b,en ready for admission in 1855, but the
death of his elder brother, required his
return home and he did not resume the
study Of law until 1859. His preceptor
from that time was Chancellor Bates.
Judge Lore vent first on the bench in
1898 and has been a State judge ever
since except for four days, from June 10
to June IA, 1897, and interval left be-
tween the PRONUNCIATION Of the new Con
stitution and Judge Lore's appointment
thereupon by Governor Tunnel.
His last commission was made out by
the then Secretary Of State William II.
Boyce, now associate judge for Sussex
county, who is sitting in the court in
Wilmington. Judge Boyce was admitted
to the bar in 1887. Judge James Penne-
will, associate judge for Kent county
who is also sitting in Wilmington, was
admitted to the bar in 1878.
