It may be we'll for Wilmingtonians
to look out for this individual who, ac-
cording to the Chester Times, has been
operating in that city: "A professional
sneak thief who masqueraded as a
tuner of pianos, was circumycnted in
his scheme Of robbery by several peo-
pie in this city, simply because they
kept their eyes on him while he was in
the house. Some people refused to
permit him to enter the dwelling at all
and they saved themselves some loss by
the precaution. One lady lost a valua-
Bile jewel, the rascal taking the dia-
mend while her eyes were turned. 1t
is not fair to assume that every
stranger is a thief but II the piano
or organ needs the attention Of the
tuner it Is possible to secure men from
Iwell-known houses to do the work, and
they are the kind who should be en-
ployed. Such men can be trusted. for
no reputable firm will keep a thief in
It's employ"

President Mckinley and Secretary OF
War Root have decided that the inter
ests of the nation at home and abroad
necessitate an increase of the regular
army to 10000 men, and the Secretary
and General Miles will work out the
details. Unless something new and un-
expected should develop in the Philip
pines no further increase is likely, for
the president is desirous of keeping the
expense OF the military establishment
as low as possible.

KENT COURT BARS
Shirt and JEWEL
Novel Evidence Offered BY
The Defense Was Not
AVaiIOd OF
Special to the Evening Journal.

Dover, April 25.-Court INST again
yesterday and a number Of cases were
disposed Of One of the most impor-
tant trials of the sitting was that Of
James p. Hughes, who, it is alleged,
abstracted a diamond stud. valued at
S400, from the shirt front of DIR. r. Y.
Watson. of Milford, at the State House
on March s. The witnesses called by
the State were Jesse Cooper, George
MilbCurne and Frank Russell, of Do
yer, who swore to the fact of seeing
Hughes trying to get the stud from the
shirt.
DR.. Watson testified that he saw the
defendant take it.
A peculiar feature of the affair is
that although arrested. no trace of the
missing gem could be found.
Former United States Senator r. r.
Kenney and Attorney Arley b. Magee
made brilliant addresses on behalf of
the prisoner. The former offered a
shirt and diamond stud as evidence.
but they were ruled out.
Charles Hallowell and Charles Nor
ris, boys about 13 years old, were ar
raigned on the charge of stealing fifty
pounds OF brass from Frisbee Clark. of
lDover Both boys pleaded guilty, but
will be released on a probationary bond
OF two years.
James Tucker, colored. of Farming
ton, did not know whether he was
guilty of stealing $40 worth of mer-
chandise from the store of Simmons &
Co., OF the same town. Clerk of the
Peace Robert S. Downes read the list
or articles and James admitted steal
ing some of the articles for the simple
reason dat 'dey wuz found on me-"
Chief Justice Lore imposed a light
sentence on the culprit because of
pleading guilty. The sentence was
twenty lashes, one hour in the pillOry
and two years Imprisonment.

ness and retired from the ring, he made
the mistake OF going to New London,
Conn, and opening a saloon, in which
he lost all his money. Then he re-
turned to New York only to find The
professional door closed against Elm.
Fer a time he worked at odd jobs and
finally had TO take to day labor. Others
had aiken his place in the business OF
making people laugh, and few gave a
thought to the old man who contrib
uted so much to their pleasure before
misfortune overlook him.

SITUATION NOT
80 ENCOURAGING
River in The Middle Ohio
Valley Continues 10
Rise

Cincinnati, April 25.-The food out
look in the middle Ohio valley is not
very encouraging. The predicted limit
of So feet will be passed here and the
estimated limit at other points will be
more than has been estimated 1t is
also evident now that when the limit
is reached in the middle Ohio valley it
will be stationary for some time, and
the fall will be much slower than was
anticipated, even If there shall be no
second rise. This is attributed to ris-
ing waters in the Big Sandy, Musk
ingum and other tributaries above Gin
clnnati
Business men and manufacturers in
the bottoms will suffer more than was
expected, and many more families will
be driven out of their homes than were
anticipated in the earlier preparations.
On the Kentucky side the Interrupt
tion to mills, factories and business is
not so great, but in proportion to the
population many more have been
driven from their homes than on the
Ohio side.
In the Taylor bottoms, between New
port and Bellevue, Ky. the water is
up to the tree tops and the street car
lines are compelled to transfer their
passengers for Bellevue and Dayton,
Ky. The latter place is generally inun-
dated. and owing to a swell in the
Licking river it is estimated that about
square mile of Newport is inundated
The races on the Newport track are
proceeding, and will continue under
sloppy conditions. Boats are used to
reach the track.
The Ludlow Lagoon, a summer re-
sort on the Kentucky side, is under
water. Coney Island, another summer
resort on the Ohio side east OF Gin
cinnati is under water also, and the
large gardens on the west side.
Mayor Fleischmann and other city
officials made another tour of the
flooded districts yesterday, arranging
for all necessary relief and protection
The police assisted yesterday at the
funeral of John Griffin (colored) from
one of the flooded tenement houses
where boats had to be used.
The street railways have adjusted
cars for use on the east and west sides
for rapid transit across the flooded sec
tions. and then transfers are made tC
the other cars. The motors are raised
so as to run through three feet o
water.
Only three lives have been reported
lost. None Of the bodies have been re
covered, and their identity is no
known.
At New Richmond. o., a summer re
sort about so families were driven ou
Of their homes yesterday and many arr

FARRY's BOOMERANG

There Is no valid reason why the De-
partment Of Elections should refuse 10
give to the Republican First District
Committee a list OF the names Of the
voters who have been transferred on
the registration books. Such a refusal
is merely another Democratic shortcut
intended to embarrass the Republican
committee. The declaration of Com
missioner FAIRY that the Office OF the
department is not public place and
his threat to have Chairman Billany, Of
the Republican committee, elected
therefrom, makes it all the more ag-
gravating and inexcusable.
Outrageous conduct Of this sort will
do more injury to the Democratic party
than il will to the Republican party.
It will serve to solidify the Republican
voters and to disgust still more that
large and independent Democratic con-
stituency which is awaiting an oppcr-
tunity to rebuke the men who have
brought the party into such public dis
repute.

case. his conduct Is wholly inexcusable
and neither he nor his party will profit
by IT, The Republicans of Wilmington
ask no special favors from the Demo
cratic Department Of Elections. Al
they want is fair play and decent treat
ment. They can and will carry the city
election in June whether they obtain a
list of the transferred names or not

which may be set up by the Democratic
members of the commission But the
people have a right TO know whether oi
