WAYFARER'S notebook
Juvenile Sellers Of Crushed Ice

where you get your ice cold snowballs.

This is the cry that is becoming
common, even In the most conserva-
tive part Of the city of Wilmington.
ana the dispenser of crushed ice of
many havors is usually an enterpris-
ing boy who starts In this early to
make money There are hundred OF
lhe little merchants in this city. and II
IS astonishing how many pennies they
capture during the warm months.
Iheir customers usually are boys and
girls of ages from to 16 years, and
sometimes a man or woman may be

Recently the Wayfarer was standing
1ear a SNOWFALL factory on the West
Side of town, watching its young
American manager dispOsing of his
stock, when n little. wide-awake. bare
looted urchin came running up. and
said: SAY, Jack, Civ a Teller one nv

plenty uf ferniller in it. Here's yer
emit He was a newsbOy, and made
his pennies by selling papers, and was
willing to spend his money If there
was plenty Of 'ferniller in it,"
While the Wayfarer was taking
mental note of the young merchants
customers, a little girl, probably 4 or
) came up. Her mother had given her
a penny, and the SNOWFALL boy, like
satan, was lying in wait for such vic
inns. He gave his usual yell Of ice

lie tot, like Mother Eve, yielded to the
temptation, and bashfully app cached

ed, licking the mass of granulated
icicles.
Approaching the boy proprietor the
Wayfarer found, by questioning him,
that il was his second year in the
SNOWFALL business, and that he was
having a prosperous season. Last
year he made over $40, penny by
penny.
Another boy, who is in the SNOWFALL
business near Ninth and Madison
streets, last year made enough money

two weeks, and he will try to repeat
The treat this season.
A boy VINO operated Sldnu IN MOI

selling snowballs.
The outfit of the SNOWFALL boy is an
express wagon, block of ice and about
six bottles of favored syrups, which
are said to be made by their mothers
The spirit of the boys is commend
able, and it may be the stepping stone
to an honorable mercantile life, such
as was that of Former Governor Hall
who breathed his last in Frederica a
few years ago. one of the wealthiesl
and most respected citizens of the
United States. He began his mercan.
tile life as a boy by keeping a stand
containing a few jars of candy ant
such things, When he died he was
conducting business on a big scale
and he was the owner of several ships
and had interests in many more.

Along comes Mr.. Johnson, OF Kan
sas, chairman of the Executive Sub.
Committee of the Democratic National
Committee, and expresses his opinion
that the position of the Ohio Democ-
acy will not be sustained by the De-
mccracy of the nation. He still shouts
for free silver and for the Populistic
alliance. Mr. Johnson. OF Kansas
would be better authority ON this sub
iect il he came from a Democratic
State or from a State that might, under
any possible circumstances. be carried
by the Democrats in a presidential
election. AS a Kansas Populist he has
no authority TO speak for Democrats in
States which may be Democratic with
proper candidates on a Democratic
platform. The silver and Populistic
fanatics should step aside for a while
and let Democrats manage the Demo
cratic campaign Chicago Chronicle

A report from Dover states that the
governor proposes some time soon to
offer a reward for the apprehension Of
]. Edward Windsor, who murdered his
father in Milford on July 4. This an
nouncement will be sufficient notice to
the accused man to get out OF reach,
If he isn't already there. There is no
hurry about offering the reward, since
the crime was committed only a month
ago, and while justice should be
swift, there is no occasion for being
too eager A year hence would be time
to offer the reward-any time would
do, for If Windsor hasn't made his
escape, It is because he is hungry foI
the gallows. Instead of a reward
leather medals should be given to q
half dozen Delaware officers.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Grandfather Clause


From the Dover Index
The negroes comprising by Tar the
greater class of illiterates in the South
ern States. IL has been of party adyan-
tage to disfranchise white and black
without any discrimination in favor of
whites BY this means the conventions
have kept within the bounds OF sound
social requirements and constitutional
limitations.
IL seems that the Alabama conven-
tion has gone its predecessors one bet
ter by the adoption of the grandfather
clause. and though the system OF the
exercise of the franchise should be
curtailed in those States where il has
not been done. 1t is hard TO conceive of
any justification or excuse for overrid-
ing the plain provisions of the Nation
al Constitution as has been done in
Alabama by making the grandfather
clause a part Of the supreme law Of
that State.

doubt has been expressed as TO the ma

actual tests have shown that It was
pure mud for a depth of ten feet. If
this is true, it will be seen what az
easy thing it would be to obtain deer
water in this stream. The ten feet Of
mud removed, would mean ten addi-
tional feet of water The matter is
worthy of some attention.

On our table is the catalogue Of the
Wilmington Military Academy. one OF
the fastest publications OF its kind
we have seen recently. II is a pleas
ure to know that this private institu-
ton. so recently established. has al
ready become recognized among our
best institutions. Whether these
schools be public or private, they
make for more intelligent and ele-
waited citizenship, and should there
fore, receive the fullest encourage
ment.
In our scheme of education physical
development has been largely disre-
garded Even in the large colleges,
athletic training is confined TO the few,
and it is only in the smaller private
institutions that the physical welfare
OF the individual Is specially cared for.
Military training combines SO many
valuable features that the wonder is
that il has not been further extended
Aside from a manly carriage, correct
bearing and proper habits, it has a
discipline which extends to the mental
and moral states. Habits OF body are
at the base but one with erect bear
ing and a healthy body is more like
ly TO be a gentleman in the true
sense than should he be devoid Of
these desirable qualities.
The education which shall bring
that discipline directed at the proven
ton of the too common slouchiness of
our youth, respect for age and author
ity and a discipline Of which that Of
the body is subordinate and preimi-
nary to that of the mind is desirable,
and from all the evidence at our COM
mand we believe the Wilmington Mill
tary Academy is meeting the
requirement. We rarely use these col
umns to commend individual enter
prises, but schools are quasi-pub-
lie, and when they are properly con-
Quoted, should be sustained.

 MT. F. M Elliott, first vice chancel- Tor of the United ALoderns, will leave the city in a few days to spend the holidays with his family at Los An geles. He has been visiting the vari- ous lodges of the order in the territory. and reports that there is . membership of about five hundred in the county, , and that the order is in a very four ishing condition indeed.

 Captain Phillips has just returned from a trip through southern Califor ria and Mexico looking over mining properties.

The business men have been asked to con tribute to the support of such an in stitution. and every one so far seems to be heartily in favor of such action, as it is considered an unqualified ben eft to a great number of Prescott's younger male population.

JoNKHEER VAN TETS NOT DEAD.
Man Reported to Have Fought a Duel
 With Prince Henry Still Alive.

London, Dec. 14.-A news agency dispatch from Amsterdam says that the announcement of the death of Jonkheerl Van Tets, who was reported to have been wounded in a duel with Prince Henry, was unfounded. Professor Narath. who operated on him for ap-' pendicitis, is satisfied with his patients condition.
 Amsterdam. Dec. 1.-The official pa pers reiterate their denials of the scan- dalous stories about Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry. The dowager queen is prolonging her visit to Germany. which suggests she has no fear of im- mediate trouble. Prince Henry will start for The Hague on December 14.
 London, Dec. 1.-The Daily Mails Amsterdam correspondent says he has ben unable to get a reply to inquiries for information from the officials at the Utrecht hospital. where Jonkheer Van Tets is being treated. He adds that official circles are mysteriously reticent. refusing to talk about the queen and Prince Henry and their alleged troubles.
