The lOng-expected supreme court
decision as to whether the constitu-
ton follows the flag or the flag fol-
lows the constitution has been final
ly handed down and the members Of
the supreme court are unanimous in
their opinion on the vital point at
issue, which is, "The constitution
follows the flag" That is to say,
wherever the flag has been planted
on foreign soil by force of arms, then
the constitution of the United
States can be so expanded as to cover
such foreign possessions. The five
points which the supreme court set
tied in this decision are as follows:
1. The constitution follows the
flag
2. The United States can have no
subject colonies.
3. Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines are now war territory and are
not yet integral parts of the repub-
lie.
4. They must be governed as war
territory until congress acts.
5. Congress has power to with
draw the flag and relinquish posses
sion Of them.
This will set at ease the minds of
many Of the leading legal lights Of
this country, as well as some of the
most profound statesmen, who have
argued to the contrary Of the deci-
sion herein rendered.

When Andrew Carnegie, the
worlds greatest philanthropist. de-
clared that he would never die rich.
the average citizen smiled almost in
derision, for very few, if any, ever
believed that he would put this
threat into execution, and, owing TO
the vast amount of wealth that he
had accumulated, it seemed almost
impossible for him to give it away.
but subsequent developments have
quite destroyed the fallacy of the al
legation, as recently, notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Carnegie's gigantic library
gifts IN the various parts of the
world, he has made q donation Of
tS,OOO,OO0 or practically $1O,OOO,-
600 for the education of Scottish
pupils in four universities -Fdin.
burgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and St.
Andrews. Though Mr.. Carnegie
still has millions left for distribu-
ton, yet at the rate he has been giy-
ing it out for the past twelve months
there is no doubt but that if the
Lord will only spare him for twelve
months more he will die as he begun
life--a poor man.

Even London is all stirred up
over the human vice question, and at
a large meeting held in Westminster
town hall, at which the heads of
most of the churches were present,
the question of municipal vice was
discussed at length, as we'll as with
fervOr 1t was declared by them
that the public men of the country
feared to touch upon this vice ques-
ton one way or the other for fear
they lose some Of their political pres
tige, which same thing is quite true
Of the public men Of this country.
Though the vice evil is on the in
crease, which must be apparent to
all persons of sound Judgment, vet
no steps are being taken by them as
nubllc men to curtail its encroachino
influence. With the same conditions
of affairs prevailing in the cold
country" as does in this country, the
outlook, to say the least, is rather
discouraging to those persons strug-
cling to bring about a more healthy
moral condition throughout the en-
tire world. Even men belonging to
some of the Christian churches are
completely deaf, dumb and blind to
the immoral status of affairs such as
are to be found in the various cities
of the land. This London meeting
publicly declared that even the po-
lice officers of that city were in col
lusiOn with the various forms of vice
that are so prevalent there and that
they were using their official position
to aid and abet its continued perpc-
tration, which, if thue, makes if an
almost utter impossibility to sup
press the growing vice evils that are
so common to the large cities of both
Europe and America, as the same
thing is charged up to the police in

MUST NOT BLOCK THIRD STREET.

Police VIII Not Permit Transfers to Hitch
Horses Between Market and French
Streets ON Market Days. .=.
Third street is one Of the narrowest
thoroughfares in the city. and, on ac-
count Of its location, traffic frequently
becomes congested there on marRet
days. At times it is impossible for
wagons to get through. Numerous com
rlaints have been made, and as result
Chief of Police Massey few days ago
issued an order instructing the officers
to kesp teams moving and not to allow
horses to be hitched on market days
between Market and French streets.
There has been general compliance
with the order, but occasionally the
police have brush with driver who
wants to allow his horse to stand for a
short time while he goes to a nearby
store, Saturday George u. Applepy,
a farmer, drove in from Bear and was
about to hitch his horse in Third street
Just west Of King when he was noticed
by Mounted Policeman Green. The
latter, and SergeantTucker,w who was also
nearby, went to Appleby and told him
not to hitch there. explaining about
the order which had been issued. He
sa,i he would only be there few
minutes, but the officers told him 10
hitch elsewhere and passed on. Appleby
was not disposed to comply with the
order and was arrested. He was ar
raigned in the City Court, but it was
not shown that he had violated any
ordinance and the case was dismissed.
There is an ordinance prohibiting the
obstructing of streets and the police
will act under that law 10 the future.

DELAWARE HANDICAPPED.

Exhibit at Pau-American Exposition Made
Under Adverse Circumstances.
A dispatch from Dover says:
'tAt the meeting Of the State Board
of Agriculture Friday the criticisms
Of Delaware's fruit exhibit at the Pan
American Exposition were discussed
and the members decided to Inform the
public why the exhibit IS so poor.
a'In the first place, it is considered o
most unfortunate move for this State
that the exhibit should have been
placsd In the hall between the mamoth
shows of the States of California and
Florida, those great fruit-growing dis
tricts OF America, ard for which each
State ii said to have sent two special
trainloads of fruit from cold storage
and alcohol.
1.-THE members of the board claim
that the condition has been especially
en- parrassinR to them, since they were
directed by the Legislature to make az
exhibit of fresh fruits Mt Buffalo. When
the act was passed 1t was, OF course, too,
,late to secure any great quantity OF
fruit from storage or other means Of
preservation. tea
1.-THE board has, however, made an
extra effort to regain Delaware lost
honors at the great fair, and this week
so half bushel baskets and carriers OF
apples, pears, peaches, plums and apri-
cots have been forwarded from tine
orchards of Delaware's most famous
sfruitgrowers.

TO PRESERVE PROPERTY RECORDS.

Recorder of Deeds Clark Thinks They
should Not All BE Kept in One Place
Recorder of Deeds Delaware Clark is
convinced that some improvement
should be- made for the preservation Of
the records involving real estate, In
his office for instance, the record books
In most cases are kept in divisions of
white pine, and in case Of fire in tho
room would likely be badly damaged IT
not completely destroyed.
His.suggestion is that a law be passed
providing for fireproof apartment In
Dover with a competent person In
charge, to whom, at the emo OF every
three months, the recorder Of each
county would send brief transcripts OF
transfers Of real estate, mortgages aud
assignments that had been entered IN
his office in that period.
Then IN case of the destruction or
damaging Of the records in the county
building, there would still exist records
in the fireproof apartment at Dover.
Mr.. CLARK believes this to be a matter
of the utmost importance.

THRtSHING WHEAT.


Yield on Andrews Place, New Castle Hun
drsd, shows Falling off of Ten Bushels to
Acre.
Levy Courtman Charles Megginson
OF New Castle hundred runs wheat
threshing outfit. He has had four
days threshing last week not counting
Saturday. Two of the days he threshed
LOCO bushels on the Col. Andrews
place. Last year in the same time he
threshsd 3, 900 bushels The difference
shows the decrease in the wheat yield,
for the quantity Of straw is about the
same in each case.
He finds the average yield OF the
Andrews farm this year to be about %
bushels to the acre as against 80
bushels last year. The reason for the
falling off is due, he believes, to the
heavy storm which hurt the blossoms,
followed by the scorching heat
