FROM FREDERICK.

The Fourth was very quietly observed
here,and save for the occasional explosion of
n fire cracker, one might imagined it was
Sunday. A few dwellings displayed small
flags. The most of the young people went on
the excursion to Woodland Beach and en-
joyed a pleasant day there. Others went to
Bowers Beach, and some to Harrington to
participate in the annual celebration there.
The small boy here devoted the evening to
putting of fireworks, and were the most en-
thusiastic persons of the town.

was crowded and very fine program was
rendered. The Frederick choir also assisted

three months more before he is

the crime for which he is being
punished John D. Hawkins largely
used to bolster up the fallen for

The Every Evening, of Viii
mington, revamps its anti-Addicks
mania occasionally, and, like its
colleague. the Evening Journal"
has no qualms of conscience at
publishing idle rumor under the
stamp of facts-in plain words,
neither hesitate to print falsehoods
in their vain effort to defeat the
Union Republican ambition to place
Mr.. Addicks in the United States
Senate. The every Evening"
flashed the extra session" bogie
again last week, but without even
creating a passing comment from
the public.
The Union Republican Party is
founded on the principal of major.
ity rule and equal justice for all
and in all things it is true unto
itself and the principal it repre-
sents. The only reason for motto
ing the vaporings of the "Every
Evening" and Mr.. DuPonts hire
lings who are publishing thes,
stories against the republicans o
Delaware, and sowing stale seet
of discord in the republican party
is that the public may be prepare,
to discount their effect. The Stat
Sentinel" last week on this subiec
said
Some facts are like bed-roc,
in this question of the candidac
of John Edward Addicks. One is
that until he came, Delaware wa
under the rule of the Democrat
party and kept there by ever
species of fraud and bribery know
to the arts of INSCRIPTIONS mel
Money was used openly and Joy
fully by them; thousands wei
robbed of their suffrage by absconC
ing tax collectors; the treasury wa
looted of the cash in it, and robbie
of cash that ought to have gone
it because of the delinquent Law
a Democratic piece of legislatio
perpetuate Democratic rule; ii
very courts of justice made noel
cry of partisan questions as far as
just JUDGMENT went; nay-it W;
re custom to promote to the benc
men who nad been chairman
county and State committees, al
who had therein shown their c
pacity to run" a campaign whic
always meant bribery, and at Il
same time their loyalty to the D
mocratic rottemness.
Another is, that the Republic;
party under no circumstances, f
no man, will consent to throw Jol
Edward Addicks down. The o
Delaware stock has left a good de
of its virtues, not the least amor
them being both gratitude and COZ
mon sense. For ten years Mr.. A
dicks has been a factor in Delawa
politics. Since 1894 Delaware h
been Republican State, save VIII
certain traitors, who called the
selves Republicans, sat up at mig

During this time, Republicans
over the State, not excluding N,

the success of Republicans, thou

The Sultan.
Everbody's Magazine.

From Everbody's Magazine.
 Good, honest executions are not fre- quest in the Yildiz palace. Abdul prefers them done outside on account of the muss They are seldom commanded formally. A significant hint suffices. A certain seal on a decree of exile means death in route. Most of the executions that do take place in the palace are private family affairs women or eunuchs. Abdul Is not gal lant himself, but he Is terribly jealous of that honor of his distributed among dozens of simple doll-like houris. He strikes on faintest suspicion and the vic- tins of these dark dramas are uncounted. Harem etiquete forbids inquidies about woman who has disappeared. Strangula- tion, the Bosphorus-the old whispered story is again repeated. Even Abdul's 8 own eldest son is kept prisoner for youthful indlscretion.
 The sultan can be cruel in gayety and in anger. When fury takes him he gives way to ungovernable violence. Dorys tells how he throws inlkstands at his sec retaries or fires revolvers. At such times he is the ruffianly murderer But the other side of his cruelty Is more classical and Oriental. It Is touched by the artic- tic and worked out dramatically. It Is diabolical, but gentlemanly. He indulges in the luxury of private dungeons and in- quisition chambers, as, for instance the Malta and Tehadir kiosks of the Yildiz. Here those persons accused by his spies are questioned. His majesty himself is within hearing, though invisible. The tortures are often of the most odious in genuity. The jester Kiathane Imamy ex- ercised his sense of humor in an invention which gradually presses on the sensitive portions of the body. valued discovery. for 1t causes the most excruciating pain without the inconvenience of killing. It sometimes does kill. but the guarantee does not cover that. Keeping a victim from sleping is also popular in the sul- tan's personal tribunals
 Abdul HaInid's program for the day is journal of cowardice, says Eugene P. Lyle, in Everybody's Magazine. He rises by 5 o'clock, for he limits to the utmost his lapse into the helplessness of sleep He takes a cold bath-vapor baths and massage might reduce his poor skeleton yet more-and after the bath comes coffee and cigarettes, both made in his presence. and both kept up all day long, He is a very busy man, but his affairs are mostly spies reports and translatfons of foreign press comments.

FILIPINO HATS IN FAVOR.
Are Exceedingly Light and Cool And Furnish Protection From Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 The coolest thing in the way of mascu- line headgear seen in these parts in many moons is the Filipino hat, which was of Tered for sale on the streets yesterday. These hats are the most recent of the imports from our new possessions. The hat is made of what closely resembles the cane used in chair seats, but is much lighter in weight The material is closely plaited and the hat looks like a cross be- tween chopping bowl and a Soudan hel- met, without the helmets front piece
 The hat is so constructed that the head gear proper does not touch the head at all. It is lined with a light fabric, sea green in color, and to the crown Is at tached a steel band covered with oiled silk, which band rests upon the head and supports the hat. The result Is that the hat proper extends some inches beyond the forehead and beyond the back of the head, so that all the air there is stirring may have full play at ones cranum. At the back the hat tapers off like a fire mans helmenta.
 The Filipino bonnets are much lighter than any straw hat known hereabouts and they are certainly much cooler. If you're lucky. you can buy one for 75 or 30 cents. or you may have to pay as much as s1.50. Several of them were in evidence in Wall street. yesterday and Sun man asked one of the wearers how he liked his Aguinaldo chapeau.
 How do like 1t? Why, it's the great est thing in the way of head piece I ever saw! It dosn't weigh as much as a good respectable feather and it's plan of con struction makes the air come up around your head as though drawn up through a funnel. I tell you, the Philippine Is- lands are worth all they. cost, if they didn't turn out anything but hats"

GratiAed Costly Fad.

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Some people have peculiar fads. Today, for instance. John Lewis Childs of this
 city gave up $25,00O for a collection of
 birds eggs. Of course, 1t is said to be the finest collection of eggs in the United States, and MT. Childs considers that he secured a rare bargain The collection was purchased from Miss Jean Bell of Philadelphia, who has for years been gathering the eggs. They are made up in sets, according to the number the birds lay. and there are $50 species represented. In addition to the eggs there are some four hundred nests ana several mounted birds. One of the most valuable of the specimens Is that of the nut cracker, a bird which inhabits the remote mountins of Utah. Miss Bell, the original owner, organized an expedition for the purpose of securing this specimen. After many months she succeeded in capturing a nest filled with eggs, and to make the collec- tion complete she secured a bird also. Another rare set of eggs were those laid by the solitary sandpiper, which inhabits the Artic zone. Then there is collection of eggs of the California conder, or vui- ture, now practically extinct Each egg is worth s1D0, considerably more than one has to pay for fresh eggs. Missrzseii mace every effort to scvure an egg of the great aux, long since extinct and kept stand ing cfer of s1Ooo for a specimen Any per s3n who should happen to run across the egg of great aux can find ready buyer.

state may drag for months and years. In solitary splendor he eats gingerly of his dinner. Imposing pages bring on the viands in solemn procession. The plates are under seal just as they were sent from the kitchen. The kitchen, by the way, Is an armored box with iron shutters The august diner often asks an attendant to taste this or that, or uses the same pre- caution on the dogs and cats around him.
 He suffers from stomach troubles, so in few minutes the repast is finished.
 Abdul retires late. From behind a screen the grand master of the ward robe reads to him fearful tales of blood and murder. His sleep is unquiet and nervous. He wakes up frequently and calls aloud for company Or he mounts to the roof and scans the neighborhood with glass. If he has a bad dream, a sorcerer must come to interpret it for him. He is afraid of the dark and his residence Is always as light as day. Often an orchestra plays till late to break the dread silence of the night, and his guards must tramp necessarily, so that he can hear the footballs. In times of trouble he often goes forty-eight hours without sleep. Then follows a terrible nervous crisis An instance was at the time of the escape of his brother-in-law, Damad- Mahoud, to Europe. His rage over the attention drawn on him during that affair knew no bounds.

sANros-DUMoNT's PROPHECY.
Says an Airship Will One Day Circum
 navigate the Globe.

Paris, July 15.-M. Santos-Dumont, the inventor of the dirigible balloon, an &C., count of the performance of which was cabled to the Globe Democrat, has his imagination fixed upon an aerial voyage around the world He is perfectly conn., dent that such voyage will be made. although he does not speak at present of attempting 1t himself
 T may drop this pursuit." he said to an interviewer today, 'but that does not matter. If do not work at 1t others will. Aerial navigation has now reached a point where 1t cannot fall into oblivion. At present a trip is somewhat expensive, owing to the cost of hydrogen gas. They charge me four francs cubic meter, so every time take the balloon out its in- flation alone costs me 2500 francs'
 Speaking of the adoption of a petroleum motor, which is his own idea, he said:
 "All the ballooning authorities told me I was a madman, and that the balloon would certainly blow up. M. Lachambre, I ordered the great balloonmaker of Paris of whom I ordered my first steerabe bal loon, had already stitched the silk when he learned that was going to use pe- troleum motor. He thereupon refused to deliver the balloon, saying that he would not be party to such a piece of folly"
 In describing his sensations he said that constant attention is required even on the shortest trips. The rudder lines cannot be let out of the hands for moment or the balloon will begin to rock and lurch. On Friday all the steel wires, being tight @y stretched, were humming from the vi- fbrations of the motor like an aeolian harp. Never was such a wonderful con- cert heard, new harmonies arising with every change in the speed. On Saturday the wires were silent because the motor was not running at high speed
 M Santos-Dumont contemplates a trip over Paris before again trying for the Deutsch prize. He suggests maneuvering over the Place de la Concorde and alight- ing on the roof of the Automobile Club.

The Largest of All Animals.

Prom Pearson's Magazine.
 Of all the uncanny creatures in the anil maj Kingdom the one whose acquaintance is hardest to make is the blue whale, the largest of all the whales, and, indeed, one of the most colossal animals, living or ex- tinct, known to science You will look in vain for him in geological collections, in menageries or even in museums. A brute. 90 feet in length and weighing just as many tons, does not lend itself to preser- vation or stuffing, and the few skeletons of him which do exist give one no idea of what he is like. The blue whale is hunted by the Norwegians chiefly for the sake of his oil, and is of considerable value. full grown specimen being worth from $l25o to s1500.
