Gold and Silver Furniture.

There are not many rooms in the
world furnished in silver. Aside from
crowned heads, Mrs. Mackay is prob
ably the only person who possesses a
set of silver furniture. In her London
house she has a reception room in
which the chairs, tables, etc, are of
solid silver. In Windsor Castle is a
set Of furniture made of silver which
was presented to Charles H. by the
City Of London, and the Shah of Per
sia has a silver set of furniture in one
Of his reception rooms. The Sultan Of
Turkey, who is so heavily in debt, has
not only a set Of silver furniture, but
a dining table Of the same precious
metal. The only other person who
is known to have a set of silver furni.
ture is the Czar of Russia, who has
one room in the Kremlin in Moscow
filed with silver and gold furniture

NOW ADMITS
VOTE BUYING
lddickS Has Bought More
Than Any Other Party
so PARTY EDITOR SAYS
Statement Causes Surprise Among All
Politicians and Particularly
Among lddickSiteS

Many politicians of all factions were
amazed at the editorial article which ap-
peared in the Sun of this morning. When
it is remembered that Mr.. Addicks owns
that organ and contributes large weekly
sums TO its support, people read the ar
ticle wondering what it meant.
Some believed that the absence of Ad-
dicks at Newport enabled the editor to
indulge in some plain statements of truth
under the thinly-veiled guise of sincerity;
Others attributed il to thick-headed stu
pidity, bHt any way the partisans Of the
Claymont man We're wrothy and declared
that under such public utterances they
would soon fined themselves without a
defense.
Following are the chief points Of OBJ
lection: The Sun says that the Republi-
cans have always bought all the votes
they could. but were beaten by the Demo
Gratis because they bought more That
this state Of affairs existed till Mr.. Adj
dicks came into the ring and beat the
Democrats at their own methods" Then
follows the statement that this has
emancipated the poor man and allowed
him TO cast a ballot of his own choosing.
a leading Republican lawyer when
shown the editorial clipping. said: 'All
they need is TO have enough rope and
they will hang themselves"
a Democratic politician remarked that
the Evening Journal had laid trap
into which the Addicks wolf had calmly
walked" why" said he, ito admit, as
The Sun mas DONE that more votes have
been bought by Addicks than by the
Democrats, is damning However true
it may be it was not good policy to say
it. Then To say that buying the poor
mans vote has enfranchised him. is the
work of one apparently unbalanced"
a Union Republican, who has been al
lied with Mr. Addicks for some years
and who has aspirations for a state Of
/ fee, remarked TO a friend that If Ad
dicks wanted 10 stay in Delaware poll
tics, he would have to get rid of certain
/ fool editors
On the street the idea seemed to b,
that it was the last defense of Addick,
and that the Evening journal had sue
ceeded in unmasking the hypocrisy under
which the system has masqucraded. On,

NEW SCHEME FOR DUST LAYING
Pennsylvania Railroad Has Solved the
Problem in a SimpIe Hammer

Directors Of the T.. II. r. have dis
covered nm unique, yet simple scheme of
solving the dust problem which is a
pressing question with an railroads.
IL consists in covering the ground and
banks along the tracks, where the sand
Is exposed, with sweepings from city
streets and dirt from cattle stables and
yards. The grains of corn. oats, wheat
and other seeds in the refuse take root
in the ground, and within short time
spring up. furnishing q covering over the
sand and gravel which prevents the
sweep of the train from picking up the
dust and, where it is carried along as in
passing road crossings, the growth
catches the particles before they are car
ried very far This scheme cannot be
said TO entirely do away with the dust
nuisance, but Il goes far enough in this
direction TO induce the railroad TO carry
It out in more or less modified form
along all its lines.
