Manager Vaudeville of the "Human
Hearts" company, billed at the Opera
House Saturday night, 2S.h, announces
a virtually new production of the play.
He has procured special new scenery
to adequately stage it and a company
of competent players. He has omit
ted nothing in the details. A rare
performance is therefore assured,
out the country the play has lost none
of it's magnetism. Like "The Old
Homestead, "Shore Acres, and
kindred dramas, it appeals forcibly to
the human heart. The villainy, pathos
and sensational incident are happily
blended with spirited high comedy.

ODD Ihlngs As Book Markers

There are very many odd things
come back between the covers of the
many books that our reading public
receive weekly from the library. AS
bookmarkers there are almost as
many things used as there are readers.
Careless. or more properly speaking,
wanton readers deface books by turn
ing the corners when they leave off
perusing its leaves. But others has
tily use anything at hand to mark
their stopping place. Letters are fire.
quently used, and some go the library
with the books-whether they are read
or returned by others We know not.
Frequently there are pretty book
markers used. and when they have
names or initials they can be returned,
otherwise not Bills, photographs,
playing cards are even used; pins are
plentiful. street car tickets not often,
ribbons and flowers frequently, but
money-never. Some mark pages
with pencils, and some women have
left glove buttoners between the leaves
as markers. Then some use matches
toothpicks and election tickets, and
once in a while a Chinese laundry
check turns up, but it is not supposed
that the loser gets 'nO shirtee."
IL is remarkable. but there are many
careless people, and some read many
books. but evidently do not improve
their memory thereby, for some really
forget to return either a marker or the
hook. either.

Tale of a Hornets Nest

There is a bank within a hundred
miles of Wilmington. the porter Of
which is a respected cOlored man
who answers to the name of William.
The other day William discovered a
big. beautiful hornets nest in his ram
bles and marked the cashier of the
bank for a customer. Pending nego-
tiations. the nest was hung in warm
corner Of the bank. and almost in less
time than It takes to tell it, the unsus-
pected inhabitants OF that nest made
ready for active business. They
swarmed into the main banking room
and approached the bOOkkeeper. Their
advance was Sc, determined and so
much to the point that after a brief
encounter in which he was much
worsted. he stood not upon the order
of his going, but went at once These
members of the family of the Vespa
Crabo took possession of the bank
and appeared ready to discount any
thing and TO make sight drafts with
out previous warning.
After much difficulty, windows were
/ lowered and doors left open. and cold
weather induced the hornets to return
to their nest and at the same time re.
stored the stately quiet Of the bank.

PENINSULA PRESS
Of in Their Geography


From the Dover Delawarean.
That there is a lack of geographical
political information even in eminent
editorial rooms concerning this sec
tion of the country is proven by the
following editorial comment which we
clip from the Christian at Work Of
November 2l;
Among the many outcomes Of the
recent elections is the reversal of po-
litical conditions in Maryland, that
State having been carried by the
Democrats. This insures the election
of Mr.. German to the Senate. Mr..
German is the furthest removed possi-
BILE from the ideal senator, but at least
his election will stop the Addicks
scandal. which has been a public Of
fense the past three years, and sus-
pend for the present at least, further
transactions in the business of buying
"a senatorship."
What effect the result in Maryland
can have upon Mr.. Addicks and his
ambition in Delaware unless it proves
an incentive to all Delawareans who
oppose him TO unite for the honor OF
the State. it is difficult to surmise
While Delaware would, no doubt. b,
glad 10 be we'll rid of it. we believe oul
neighbors of Maryland will think i
rather unhnd in the Christian a

dicks scandal" as it terms 1t, upOl

NOT GOOD LOGIC

The Sussex journal is usually fair
and reasonable. but it seems to MS In
the following it is neither:
II something is not done in a few
days nearly one hundred and fifty
district schools win be closed in Sus-
sex county within three weeks. Judg-
ing from the tenor of the run of people
we have met from the several districts
they are not going to indemnify the
State Treasurer against loss in case
he pays the money over to the respec-
tive districts entitled. Their reason
FOR so doing is that no man knows
what the next Legislature would do
about making legal the act OF the
State Treasurer in case he should pay
the money over TO the districts since
the next Legislature might be of the
Addicks stripe They argue that a
Legislature that blunders once may
blunder again. especially since Ad-
dicks may be the all-absorbing inter
est OF those elected to that body, and
surely they are more than entitled to
respect for their doubt.
There is no doubt that Il would be
an Illegal act for the State Treasurer
to pay the dividends over to the sew
eral districts of Sussex county that did
not raise by taxation or otherwise
500 last year, but this can be over
come If his bondsmen can be indemni-
fled against loss. This the State
Treasurer should do as there can be no
doubt but that the next Legislature
would ratify his present illegal act
According to the Georgetown paper
nearly a hundred and fifty district
schools of Sussex county will be closed
because the State Treasurer has not
paid them their dividends. That, it is
admitted, he cannot do without per
forming an illegal act" We are told
that the people OF these districts are
not willing to indemnify the State
Treasurer If he pays over the money,
because they are not certain OF the at
titude of the next Legislature. and yet
that paper demands that the State
Treasurer shall indemnify his bonds
men, pay over the thousands OF dol
lars involved and trust to the next
Legislature to legalize his act.
Each district would stand good for
the amount Of its dividend only while
the State Treasurer would be liable fol
the whole amount paid to 15O districts
We do not understand that form OF
logic. II Il is hazardous for the dis
tricts to trust the next Legislature, II
certainly is hazardous for the State
Treasurer to trust the same body a
way to obviate the difficulty has been
pointed out; since the districts in
question raised but $50 instead of 500
by raising $40 additional they coult
receive their dividend. There would
be no risk about it. for the sum coulC
be used for educational purposes, anC
no one would be out of pocket i
seems to us hardly fair TO ask th'
State Treasurer to pay over large sum-
In defiance OF the strict provisions O
the law. on the bare hope that som,
Legislature will reimburse him.

our industries TIL THEY dominate the
markets Of the world. Last year our
exports equailed the enormous sum OF
81 .4S7 .OO0, 600, and the balance Of trade
was about S664 100000 in our favor
That SHOWS what protection has done
for our Industries. Would 1t not do as
much for our merchant-marine? The
primary difficulty is that of wages. Our
workingmen are paid wages averaging
about forty per cent higher THAN
those Of the countries of Europe. And
besides this. our seamen are paid more,
and It costs more 10 maintain them
on shipboard It is clear then THAT
under present conditions American
bottoms cannot pay. There are two
methods of competing; one is to reduce
wages to the level of that of European
nations. or to offer some protection
Through governmental law The former
is impractical, even if desirable. and
the latter is the only alternative.
America has been wise enough to
solve all other problems, and it seems
strange that we have allowed this great
Industry to langush, until many of the
great ports of the world that receive
enormous American freghts never see
our flag on one of the carriers. Every
nation of Europe pays enormous sub
sldes to It's merchant marine Why
should not America take and act on the
hint?
