SIEBER'S SCALP.

The Anti Saloon League has made a

Purley Baker, the grand sachcm of the
cold water politicians. The fight was
bitter one and almost TO the last gasp
Sieber's friends thought he was sure
to win. But fate in the form of the
Anti-Saloon League was against him
and he was slaughtered In the house
of his friends, |, e., in n Republican
convention.
The convention was held Friday in
Cleveland. The famous j. Park Alex,

Anti -Saloonists. He became n candi-

nominated but with the hope OF de

SUPERINTENDENT OF RURAL DELIVERY.
Jonathan s. Willis Wants to be Appointed
Superintendent For Delaware.

Jonathan S. Willis, of Milford, late
supervisor of the census, is in Dover,
at work among the Republicans and
other prominent citizens, to secure the
appointment, by President Roosevelt,
of superintendent of the rural free deliv-
cry system soon to be established bv
the government throughout Kent and
Sussex counties. The Rev. Mr.. Will
lis, it is said, has been practically as
sured of this appointment, the only
question being the importance of hur-
rying up the department at Washing
ton to install the system, which has al
ready been mapped out and arranged
to conform with the railroad train on
two roads, and with the present time
of delivery and collections in the var
ious towns.
The matter was all arranged for last
year, during President McKinley's
first administration but it is said the
President himself ordered the facili-
ties withheld owing to the strife among
the two factions of the Republican
party as to the appointments. With
President Roosevelt's recognition Of
the Regular Republicans, there is nc
obstacle now in the way, and Mr.. Will
lis feels confident, it is said, that he
will be designated in few weeks al
the superintendent to carry out and
oversee the Post Office Department.

Persian PRAYER RuRs

About 200 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per-
sia. chiefly at Ispahan. These were
prayer rugs, and on each of them near
one end was small embroidered mark
to show where the bit of sacred earth
from Mecca was to be placed. In
obedience to law of the Koran, that
the head must be bowed to the ground
in prayer, this was touched by the
forehead when the prostration was
made, and so the letter of the law was
carried out. The custom still prevails.
The Persian women who weave the
finest prayer rugs seldom weave any
other kind of rug.

Marked Features in Millinery, Out Door Gar
ments, COrSages and SkirIs and Other
Wrinkles of Stylish Tastes

A marked feature in millinery, is the
use of material, to the disadvantage of
ribbon and here the preponderence of
diaphanOus fabric is a surprise. Heavy
trimmings, such as velvet, panne satin,
&c., of course are employed very freely
but entire hats made in tulle or chiffon
are certainly novel for winter. Gener-
ally in such cases, there is something
heavy in at least a touch, but this is not
essential. Fur is a very favorite COM
pletiOn and extreme style attaches to
fur hats finished by tulle or chiffon
and flowers. Fur is in very great
favor. Shapes are low and broad, at
times in really huge dimension; some
few rise over the forehead, but bon
nets proper are we'll nigh relegated to
a past age and the place of strings is
taken by ruffs, boas or a very high col
lar. In
