The Tale of Bliggin's Mare

They tell a tale Of Bliggin's mare
She came of blooded stock,
But she was sure to cut up mean
Before she'd gone the block.
Shed strike a nobby step or two,
But mostly. as a rule.
She'd hang her head and stumble en-
And shamble like a mule.
Now, Bliggin tried NEST every plan
To train that mare Alright;
He had trainer rub her down
And tend her day and night.
The harness was in keeping with
A thoroughbreds proud state.
Yet all the time the beast would NOV
With that unsscmly gait.
At last the hat fad struck the town
The HATED horse. that is
And Bliggin SGT a Paris hat
For that fine nag of his.
With roses on her bonnet bright.
She trotted out right gay.
II only goes to show-oh. well.
II shows it. anyway.

WHO GOT THE PLATEsl

Who got the plates? An, do aot
smilel the question IS serious.
A few weeks since we took occasion

of fruits made by our little State at
the Buffalo Exposition. That every
Delawarean might indulge in due pride
at tho splendid showing, we give in
some detail the features Of the ex-
hibit This resulted in an enormous
increase in travel from our faiy do
main; all the people were heading Buff
faloward that their eyes might feast
on the Delaware exhibit
The appropriation OF $1,000 for ,ho
display was generous, and the selcc-
tion Of a professor OF pomology. ex-
pert in peach yellows. hog cholera and
chicken gapes, gave promise of an ex.
hibit which should do our horticultur-
lists justice. We did not deem tha. our
confidence had been misplaced when We
were told that in a prominent pant OF

The Anti-lynohing Movement
'0m the Baltimore News,

From the Baltimore News.
The Southern States seem at last to have
awakened to a thorough realization Of tho
disgrace which attaches to she application
of lynch law and to have determined to
put am end to the practice. only a few
days ago resolution was introduced in
the Alabama convention looking to that
end and yesterday, in the Virginia con-
Yention, another was introduced even more
rigorous in its nature. 1t provides that
the governor shall offer reward of $500
for the arrest and conviction of every per-
son who shall engage in the ofense; that
the crime shall be murder in the first de
gree where the hanging or lynching is ac-
complished, and that It shall be the duty
Of the governor to pay $1,000 TO the heirs
OF any person lynched. the money 20 CONE
out Of the state treasury and be charged TO
the county or city in which the crime was
eommitted- The trouble with this is tn,
same which marks many well-intended ef-
forts at reform-it goes too far, and by its
own severity will defeat its purpose. Jurits
lYill not convict lynchers OF murder in the
first degree, and in this respect the reso-
Hutton needs amendment. But the spiri
lof it is right and the convention may b,
trusted TO Put IL into working form.

ABOUT CAR FENDERs

Some surprise has been expressed "a.
the introduction of a resolution by a
member OF the Street and Sewer Com
mission. which aims at compelling ,te
officials OF the various electric lines to
equip their cars with tenders. In
many Of our larger cities, where travel
is congested. there have been agitations
looking 20 the same end Philadelphia
some years since compelled the trac-
tion company to place tenders on its
cars. but it was not apparent that they
made the traffic less dangerous. Fi-
nally they we're removed and at the
present time no car is so equipped.
To pass the measure and follow Il
by an enforcement, would mean an ca
penditure on the part of the companies
of many thousands OF dollars. On moss
OF the lines the cars do not travel il
a circuit. but run both forward an,
backward. This would require tNs
tenders for each car. and the aggregat,
would mean bill OF serious proper
tions. But notwithstanding that fact
if it can be shown that human If
would be more secure, the outlay woul
be warranted But can this be shown

Often has the Wayfarer seen horses

BONpS CLOTHES
TOO GORGEOUS
Forbidden the Church Because
He Wore Red
Sweater.

PARIS, June Count and Countess
Boni Castellane, attired in loud hiking
costumes, sought entrance to the Cathe-
dral in Rouen today, and were denied
admittance by the sexton.
Two other couples, aristocrats and
members of the Castellane party, were
also barred for the same reason. The
Count was furious. He protested shril-
ly at the top Of his voice for twenty
minutes, but the sexton was firm. At
last the Count and Countess went to
the palace of the bishop to seek permits
sion from him to enter the cathedral
in their outre attire.
In respose to the card and requests Of
Count Castellane, the bishop sent word
that he could see no reason why the
sexton should be overridden.
Then the Count proclaimed that he
would complain to the Minister of Pub
lie Worship in Parliament, Demanding
that the bishop be censured.
The cathedral at Rouen is the prop
erty Of the State. and the priests are
subsidized.
Count Boni wore a scarlet sweater,
black brooches, gorgeously variegated
socks and a bicycling cap that fairly
yelled.
The Countess wore black sailor hat,
red sweater Of more subdued tone,
black short skirt and black stockings
and shoes.
Count Castellane, his wife and mis-
| friends started Tuesday from Chateau
de Marais, the Castellane estate near
Dourdan, with the intention Of taking
| a leisurely tour through Normandy.
The party rode on tandems. The cathe-
dral at Rouen, which Is the most inter-
esting in France, was the first point OF
| interest they visited.

THE FATE OF
ROCKEFELLER
The Major Was Captured by the
FiIipinos and Died
insane.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June S.-A letter
from Paul J. Spillane of the Ninth In
fantry, stationed in the Philippines, has
been received by a friend in Water
town. It states that while Spillane
was prisoner of the Filipinos at Tar
lac he learned from insurgent officers
the fate of Major Rockefeller, whose
mysterious disappearance early in the
war has puzzled the American army.
Major Rockefeller, according to the
Filipinos, was taken prisoner and went
mad while in captivity. Soon afterward
he died. Spillans says that the story of
the majors suicide after learning that
he had killed his own son in battle is
untrue, as Rockefeller was in no en-
gagements.
