Nothing whatever took place yesterday
to mar the usual tranquility which has
made the nine hour movement more sue
cessful IN Wilmington than amy other
city IN the country. 1t was an unusually
quiet day with the striking machinists.
Business Agent James A. Campbell and
Colonel William III. Blake We're IN wash
ington on important business relating TO
the local situation. They will return to
this city early this morning. The regu-
lar morning meeting was held and was
largely attended but nothing of great
Importance was transacted As it was
extremely warm the men passed the
greater part of the day lounging around
their lodge rooms and in the parks.
The subject mostly discussed yesterday
among the men and also the general pub
lie was the action Of the Harlan Il Hol-
lingsworth Company in refusing the ma
: chiniats' proposition which was made on
Wednesday. If such n thing be pos
sible the refusing Of the proposition has
made public sentiment stronger than
ever against that company. This is es-
pecially so with the prominent merchants
as they are losing money every day on
account Of the men being out. One
prominent business man remarked yester-
day that it was not the officials of com
y panes such as the Harlan Il Hollings-
worth Company that keeps the mer-
q chants in business, but it is the working
q men. One of the machinsts stated to Il
Representative of The Sun that if any
SSof the strikers Were inclined to be weak
S. S.several days ago, the action of the com
lSSpany in refusing the liberal proposition
had made them strong. This is the gen
opinion. That the men will make nc
) more advances is certain. The next step
n towards ending the difficulty will have
to be made by the company.
N# Members of the machinists' union are
SSa Indignant over the action of Israel Low
Al ell, Albert Hooks and Albert Ireland
\ employees of the j. Morton Poole Com
Il Dnny. The men had been out since the
'aFtrike started but returned to work OF
4uesday last. One of the union ma
a#&hinists claims that all three of the meI
Fy&had been paid the regular union benefit,
,% since the strike started.

over the country for a shorter da,

MISTAKES ABOUT MARS.
Popular Opinion 1t Fault Regardinx
ExistinE Conditions ON the Much
Discussed Planet.

The daily press of the United
States and elsewhere has found "Hu-
man Life on Mars to be taking
headline, and it has been often en-
ployed, writes Edward S. Holden, in
McClure's. The general reader, hear
ing only one side and having the un-
fortunate nomenclature of seas
and Canals before his eyes, has
very naturally accepted results that
appeal to his imagination and that he
had no way Of testing for himself.
In the light of what has gone before
it is clear that change of popular
opinion has no other desire than to
be well founded and is entirely ready
to be guided by the judgment of ex-
perts. We may appeal to them.
Prof. Young, of Princeton, has this
to say on the matter of the temper

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and MOther-in-Law Of ME-.
Charles Keys.

Clarissa, Mimi, April Is Especially.
No family in this vicinity is better
known or more universally respected
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local School
Teacher, and his estimable wife, and
mother-in-law. For long time, Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found a cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or of what they have done
for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
"My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. Twas troub-
led with Neuralgia in the head and face
and suffered extreme pain, but thanks
to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those aches
and pains have vanished like the MORN
ing dew, and it now seems that life is
worth living. consider Dodd's Kid
ney Pills a God-send to suffering hui
manity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir of Youth. ..
"While speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit have received,
I might also add, that my mother, who
is now an old lady of ~ years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me, she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"This testimony is given in the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were, may see and read it, and be bene-
flied by it,
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighborhood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Not Worth n Cow.

IS
Some of the public men in this
country who occasionally hear from
their constituents may think that
they know what it is to be roasted
but they are in error. 1t is only III
New South Wales that the lowly
voter has a really trenchant pen and
can express himself properly. In or
der that those serving in an official
capacity in this country may realize
how truly fortunate they are, the
following extract from letter writ
ten to a member of parliament by q
disappointed Office seeker may be-
given:
"Soon after you was elected by my
hard workin Teller wanted to bet
me that you wouldn't be in the house
moren week before you made a
haas of yourself. l bet him a cow on
that, as thought you was worth it
then. After I got your note saying
you declined to ackt in the matter I
druv the COW over to the feller's place
an told him he had won her. That's
all got for howlin meself horse for
you on pole day and months befoar.''
Possibly there may be suggestion
in this for disappointed American
Office seekers, too. At any rate it
would seem to deserve a place in the

rare absence from Frankfort.
Many stories are told of the bar
on's orthodoxy in religious matters.
The business was always closed on
Saturday, no matter what sacrifices
it might entail. On Sabbaths and
holy days the baron always walked,
riding being forbidden on these days
to the strict Jew. More striking still
was his adherence to the Jewish pre-
cept to give literally a tenth of ones
earnings to the poor, SO that the dispo-
sition of his bounty gave him much
hard work. A great deal of his char
ity was anonymous. Baron Won Roths-
child was at work on the evening be-
fore the day of his death, giving per-
sonal attention to the reports of bust
ness and distribution of charities. The
funeral few days later was charac-
terized by absolute absence of dis
play, and even the simplest flowers.
Yet crowds of people, from personal
friends to the poor he had helped,
thronged the street to witness the
passing of the cortege.
