CHRISTIANS BOXES FOR SOLDIERS
Must Be Sent to San Francisco This Year
Instead Of TO New York

John V. Frey. Quartermaster-G Gen
eral, United States Army, in Philadel-
phia. has received an order from the
War Department which entails incon-
venience in many Wilmington families
who are preparing TO send gifts to their
sons and brothers on duty in the Phil
ippines.
Heretofore It has been the plan to
forward the boxes to Brooklyn. whence
they would go out on a transport to
Manila. The entire expense attached
10 this was the low express charges on
the box from Wilmington TO Brooklyn
The order in question directs that the
boxes be sent from San Francisco. as
the transport will not sail from Brook.
lyn at the proper time this year. This
means a cost for expressage Of at least
si4.75 on twenty-five pound box, and
I'm the large majority of local cases will
effectually serve to prevent the sol
diers from receiving a Christmas gift

Milford Oct 29.-Shall S. John Alb
Oott be renominated to succeed him
self in the State Senate. or shall some
Yther faithful Addicl1s followers be rec
)gnized? This is the question which is
agitating Union Republicans here at
he present moment.
Mr.. Abbott has cut something of a
figure during his term, and aspired TO
the leadership of the body of which he
was a member. Alice held him in
subordinate position with difficulty and
was known to declare that the Milford
nan talked too much.
The senator announced in Dover last
winter that he had positively refused
% serve his constituents again. and he
wished to devote his whole attention to
business, and give someone else
chance at figuring in public life. Sub
'equenLy. however, he announced that
he had reluctantly consented TO run as
his people forced him to accept renomi-
nation.
1t now develops that there are other
aspirants. and several of these have a
strong backing Among the names
suggested are Theodore Townsend,
editor CT the Chronicle. It is said that
he aspired to a Federal office, but fall
ing in that, he would like 10 become a
lswmaker. Townsend has long sought
public prominence, but has succeeded
only in the lines of military renown.
Then Paris T. Carlisle Jr., OF Fred
erica, is regarded as in recipient
mood. Should he conclude to make the
contest he would give Abbott the tight
of his life. But il is said that the lat
ter declares that he will have the
nomination if it costs him $500 at the
primaries.
The former Representative, John
White. wants to return. but scores of
the faithful are hungry for the place.
They cannot find anything startling in
his record which entities him to a re-
nomination. True. he voted for J. Ed
ward Addicks very persistently. Il is
even said that when his name was ut

BULGARIAN COUNT
COMES TO TOWN
Visitor Gives Ills Opinion on
the Stone Abduction
Case

There is genuine nohleman in the
city. His full title las given ON a card
upon which appears the rampant lion
crest of Navarrel is Count Pierre Ar
mand Unaware. Baron Chevette-Colig-
N.Y. Chevalier of the Legion Of Honor,
major of the Imperial Lancers. and eX-
secretary TO King Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
The count. who is a "silk-hatted' and
"frOck-coated' young man of Chester
heldian demeanor. and who speaks En-
glish with scarcely "a trace of accent,
called at the Evening journal Office this
morning. He said: Owing To "a duel
arising from a quarrel over the card
table, in which / had the misfortune to
seriously wound my antagonist a kins-
man of the king, l was compelled to flee
from Bulgaria. Ny castles and estates
were fOrfe.. TO the crown. and | land
ed at New York without funds except
few francs. At last these We're spent,
and had l not providentially met Mr..
Richards. one OF the owners of the Rag
ged Hero Company. who offered me the
position of advance agent at large
salary. my condition would have been
indeed pitiahe
However, l realize that my titles are
Of some value as an asset, and. consider
ing the fact that / have never before
been compelled to work, am doing my
best 10 earn my salary. as soon as /
obtain an heress with enough money
10 support me in the luxury to which
nave been accustomed. IN retire"
When questioned as TO his opinion re-
garding the Stone case, Count Unaware
stated that from close association with
Ferdinand in the capacity Of secretary
he considered that ruler to be weak and
vacillating; that he was undoubtedly
hand-in-glove with the brigands who in
fest his frontiers. and that negotiations,
if backed by Austria and other countries,
will probably result i'm the liberation of
the now famous captive.
The count will ocupv a hox at the VIII
mington Theatre tonight. and will leave
in the morning for Boston.

tered on roll-call he always responded,
y. Edward Addicks."
But there are others guaranteed to do
the same. There is Frank Davis, son
of Colonel Mark. who is willing for the
lightning to strike. He is a good mil
Ter and has many friends, but as a law
maker he has hardly entered into pen
pies minds.
The country people are asking where
they are to come in. They declare that
everything comes from Milford. There
is Luther Cubbage. a veteran of the
civil war. who has been a candidate
for several years. and who was turned
down the last time for John White.
Cubbage is going to have it, or make a
fight. But II has already been decided
that he will have to wait yet longer.
The leaders. it is said. want him TO
be satisfied with a nomination to the
Levy Court. but then another row will
be precipitated Aaron Woodruff. a
farmer near town. says that he is going
10 the Levy Court, and there the situa-
tion stands.
When the time comes the ticket will
be made out by DR.. Marshall. and most
of them will swallow IT, He has held
the Union Republican party of Milford
hundred in his hands for years, and he
will not be likely to relinquish his
grasp now.
There are others regarded as in a re-
ceptive mood; notably John w. Herring,
John p Steward and John ChOrman.
But DR.. Marshall is an adept at
smoothing things out and i'm drawing
on the future to pay the political debts
of the present
The Democrats are quiet. but there is
a rumOr that "Clint" Prettyman. the
insurance man. will be a candidate for
senator. Mr. Prettyman has the power
OF speech to a remarkable degree. and
should he and Abbott be the nominees
of their respective parties. there would
be no need for outside oTatOry A joint
debate would be vastly interesting, but
IL would be a windy affair
At present the Addicks men are not
clamoring for a denomination Of John

THE CozoneI.s Interpretation

Col. Ebenezer Sproat, of Revolutions
airy fame, was born and bred in Mid
d1eborough, Mass He was always fond
OF joke, and was quick to seize an
opportunity to indulge his propensity.
as the following incident, related by
Doctor Hi1dreth. well illustrates His
father, also a Colonel Sproat, kept a
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on a furlough, three private
soldiers, on their return from the seG-
of war, called for a cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants or
the family dinner which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hum
cry men, He felt a little vexed that
the defenders of the country were not
more bountifuIly served The soldiers.
after satisfying their appetites. asked
him how much they should pay. Eben-
ezer said he would ask his mother
He found her in the kitchen.
Mother he said. chow much is it
worth to sell those bones 90
About a shilling, L guess she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the SOL
diers. and taking from the barroom
till three shil1ings, and smiling genial
ly upon them, gave each man one, and
with good wishes sent them on their
way Mrs Sproat soon after came in.
and asked Ebenezer what he had done
with the money for the soldiers din
ners.
In apparent amazement he ex-
claimed, Money! Did I not ask you
what it was worth to pick those bones,
and you said a shilling? I thought It
little enough, for the bones were pref
ty bare, and L handed the men the
money from the till, and they ara
gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she, too, loved joke, and so. after an
instant'S giun look she laughed and
! said it was all right
