KENT'S NEW LEVY
COURT IS ORGANIC ZED.
Clerk Downs Vote Decides Matters
in Favor of the Republicans.

There was great interest yesterday
in the organization of the Kent County
Levy Court. For many years This has
been a Democratic body controlling all
the county offices of Kent. AS a result
of the last general election, five Re
publlcans and five Democrats are now
members 'of the Court. Clerk of the
Faace Downs, a Republican, however,
mas l,he right TO break a tie vote by
casting the deciding ballot. This he
did yesterday as soon as the commits
sioners we're sworn in, they began ball
letting for president The Democra.s S
nominated H. E. Mayberry of Black.s-
UoEs, and the Republicans placed the
Name of Asa Q. Rogers of Frederica,
uD for elsction. Each received five
VOTES and the spectators laughed, but
Clerk of the Peace Downs arose and,
his vote for Mr. Rogers and elected
him. He is a holding-over member
and is well-known business man.
The commissioners then adjourned
TO allow the new president to name
his committees.
All the afternoon session of the court
these trustees of the poor were elected:
George M. Stevenson, Smyrna; Henry
johnson, Clayton, Frederick Friedell,
Felton, and James B. Prettyman,
Farmington.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY
PROPOSED BY REGULARS.
VIII Formally Agree to Drop Du-
Pont and Richards i2 Addicks
Men VIII Leave Addicls
and Addicks,.


THE Regular Republicans who arc
standing out against the hopes of
john lEdward Addicks for a limited
States Sematorship, and creating the
present Legislative deadlock ON both
propositions, are preparing to change
Jheir tactics Tomorrow or Friday. The
anti -Addicks men are going ito submit
the proposition to THE Union Republi
can members for both sides to leave
the mem for whom they have been Yot-
ing and take UP and elect two other
Republicans, one Union and one Regu-
lar Republican. The Regulars will,
therefore, leave DUPONT and Richards
and take up other Republicans, until
the Unions decide ito join them or un-
Til the end of the session. They will
support prominent Republican busi-
ness and professional men from all
parts of the State.
The Addicks men, however, will re-
main steadfast, voting for the million
aire ON both ballots, and say that
eventually the Regulars will have to
come over.
Senator Groves (Ind. Rep.) sprang "a
surprise in the Joint Assembly to-day
by voting for former Senator Anthony
Higgins. He was followed by Senator
McFlarlin, who also supported the for
mer Senator. Then Representative
Dayett took UP the refrain and it look
ed like the formal effort to bring Hig-
gins in and Addicks-Higgins deal had
been made. The DUPONT men, how
ever, held fast to the colonel and head
of the great powder-making company
Messrs. Aron and Prettyman (Union
Reps.) and Mr. Hutchinson (Dem
were absent. The result of the vote ON
the Constitutional term was:
For Kenney (Dem) %; Addicks
(Unton Rep.) "A; DUPONT (Reg Rep)
8; Higgins Greg. Rep) 8; scattering
Republican, 2.
On the second proposition, the unex-
plrsd term, the Higgins supporters
took up William S. Hilles and he re-
cetved the same vote. The result:
For Salisbury ODem) 81; Addicks
OJTnion Rep.) IA; Richardson Greg
Rep. 8; Hilles (Ind. Rep) 3. Necessary

man. Tomorrow 1 shall see you again,

Then he too left, more slowly with
his head bowed down and his eyes to-
ward the ground.
Six weeks later the salon closed. One
evening the man who loved the dead
woman received this letter:
sir: You have loved Luciene as she
deserved to be loved. You are the only
person in the world who would guard
her portrait as a religious souvenir.
Il had resolved to destroy her por-
trait and kill myself afterwards. 1 re-
nounce half Of my plan. 1 will kill
myself but / will bequeath the portrait
to you so that eternal incense may
burn at the feet OF my idol. In the

English Intimatiou That Yankees Are
Apt to Cart Them Away.

English Animation That Yankees Are
Apt to Cart Them Away.
The apathy of. the British nation
about its old iron gates is astounding.
Unless something is done, and done
quickly, the old gates OF Henry Wills
sunbury palace, on the SheppertOn
road, will be lost to Us forever. The
Yankees have taken our stud horses
and u fancy dogs. The more reason,
therefore, why they should not be per-
mitted to cart away our old gates. But
they will unless somebody stops them.
Fortunately, this beautiful example of
antique English beaters' ironwork is
In the hands OF a man who has the
honor of his country sufficiently at
heart to keep It here II he can That
man Is Mr.. Hartman Of 1856 Brompton
road. And beautiful. indeed, these
gates are. They are more than that;
they are unique. It was the early days
Of iron gateways in England when
Henry VIII. built this palace Of Sun
bury, while the flame of his love for
Anne Boleyn still burned bright. Evil
dence Of that is the arched pediment
Of frieze surrounding the gates. The
South Kensington museum authorities
covet this treasure, but their hands
are SO tied with building operations,
not to mention red tape, that before
they are ready to put down the money
less than e1,000-the golden mo-
ment may have passed forever. Less
ancient, but not a whit less beautiful,
are the great gates Of Carshalton park.
Every wanderer round London knows
them, tucked away in a lane in the
middle Of lavender land. These were

,arved stone shafts are softened in the
manner that nothing but time can ac-
somplish, yet so wonderfully preserved
that the pheasants hang there like
lead birds. The iron piers are twenty
feet high. 1t will be a strange and
shameful thing If, for lack Of a ready
5000 guineas, the nation loses this
legacy of the centuries.-London Mail.

women one of their number has be-

she is Miss Edna Wright Parker and
IS nov In the service Of the New York
Central railroad Miss Parker comes
pf a Seneca Indian family distinguished
by It's exceptional record. The mother
Of William Parker. the great-great-
great p%aternal grandmother Of Miss
Parker, Is concerned In one OF the In
dian romances previous to the revolu-
tionary war. A party of the Senecas
captured a young white woman Of the
Slocum family who became as one Of
them. During a treaty trip TO Fort
Niagara she met a titled French Of
hcer who, infatuated with her beauty,
clandestinely took her as his wife. En-
ragged at this alliance, the Indians stole
her from her husband who was after
ward killed IN battle, and returned her
to their camp, where her daughter. the
child Of the F~renchman, was afterward
born. AS soon as possible after the
birth OF this child, in an %endeavor to
search for her own family, the mother
escaped from captivity, taking the
daughter with her. She was overtaken
by the indisA-the chi}i was taken
from her, and one Of her captors
escorted her to her relatives near
Philadelphia. The child, reared by the
Senecas, and not knowing her parent
age, was eventually married to an In
dian chief and from her descended the
Parker family who in each of the sue
ceeding generations have been distin-
guished among their people. The GREAT
grandfather OF Miss Parker, William
Parker, a volunteer in the American
army during the war Of 1912, was seri-
ously wounded at the battle Of Chippe-
wa. Her grandfather, Nicholson Park
er, was a graduate Of a college at AL
bany. Her gIeat-uncle, Gen Ely s..
Parker, the foremost Indian Of his gen
GRAFTON, was the military secretary Of
Gen. Grant during the civil war. The
father Of Miss Parker is now in the
freight auditors department Of the
New York Central railroad. Her moth
er is a white woman of Scotch descent.
Her brother, Arthur Parker, having
been associated with the New York
Central for a time, is now in the Dick
inson seminary at Williamsport, Pa,
preparing for a college course before
entering the church as a clergyman OF
the Methodist faith. Her paternal
uncle, Sherman Parker, was admitted
to Hamilton college when is years Of
age. Miss Parker vas graduated from
a commercial college. She is 10 years
old.

for it. The cowboys routed the lion
out of some rocks and rode after it, to
rope it If possible. Schell tried a 200
yard shot and knocked the lion over,
apparently dead, with a bullet through
its neck. The three rode up and dis
mounted, to find the lion had only been
stunned by the shot. AS they APP
preached he CAME to his feet and jump
ed at Schell, who knocked him aside
with a blow from the butt Of the rife.
The enormous cat then jumped upon
Hubbard, %crunching the mans left
arm and decorating his body with its
claws. But Hubbard, who is possessed
Of exceptional strength, caught the
beast by the throat and a front foot,
and Schell at the same time seized the
hind feet, while Harer ran in and cut
the lions throat with a small knife.
Though the lion undoubtedly had been
weakened by the bullet wound, the
men consider themselves fortunate to
have escaped with their lives. The
lion skin measured nine feet ten inches
from tip to tip.
