THE Forepaugh and Sells circus
yesterday enacted an imposition on
our citizens who visited the circus
grounds. Two men were eng aged
in selling admission tickets over an
hour before the ticket wagon was
opened and charged the public ten
cents extra for purchasing IRON
them to avoid the rush and then
kept the crowd waiting for nearly
two hours before admitting them
to the big tent. The late hour at
which the show began was unavoid-
able, but the imposition OF charging
the public 90 cents for tickets OF ad.
mission should not have been per-
mitted by the circus management

WITH deficit Of 800, 600 staring

wonder that the Democratic party
is not very enthusiastic over the
ticket nominated at their primaries
held on Saturday week. They see
the handwriting on the wall and
are not making any great effort to
prevent the election of the entire

the Democrats and electthe'r may

THE master horse shoers held

help asked for nine hours day

wanted Saturday afternoon OFT and
pay and half pay for all over time.
The bosses refused every demand
made upon them. Organized labor
is bound to win out in the fight for
nine hours, which is long enough
for a person to work. Times have
changed, as we'll as the manner in
which the working men want to

hours with ten hours pay will be the
rule IN every line OF business even

the U. S. Senate. 1t also en- joys the
distinction OF Democrats holding
office tour months after their terms
have expired. 1t also enjoys the
distinction of having more Demo-
Gratis appointed to Federal positions
than any other State in the Union.
President Mckinley has indeed
been more than kind and obiiging
to the Democratic Senators who
have represented Delaware since
he has been President, 1t looks
some times as if the President
wanted to impress on the minds OF
The Delaware Republicans that
they had no standing with him.
That only Democrats were fit to be
appointed by him. We would in
form him that there are as good
Republicans in Delaware as to be
found in any other State. -

It would appear that certainly so
early as about A. D. $50 spaces of
ground adjoining churches were inclos-
ed and consecrated for burial. and by a
canon Of the ninth century every grave
was to be esteemed sacred. to be adorn-
ed with the sign of the cross and to be
preserved from trespass and violation
by dogs and cattle. Many churchyards
have history far older than the
churches which stand in them, being
originally places appropriated to reli-
glous assemblies, divine service being
performed there. until at length the
church was added for greater honor
and convenience.
1t has been noted as a curious fact
that in a large majority Of cases the
churchyards are on the north side Of
the church and on the north side OF
the road leading to them. There is a
superstition among many old fash
Toned folk that the north side of the
churchyard lie less sacred than the
rest Of the cOnsecrated ground. ITO

The wigs worn in English courts were
formerly made Of human hair, and 1t
is on record that the white hair Of a
woman who lived to be LOG years old
was sold for that purpose for $50. In
1927 the old form Of powdered wig
which was somewhat of a nuisance be-
cause the powder came off and the hair
frequently required recurling-was SUI
perseded by the horsehair wig.
Only about 100 OF these legal orna-
ments are made annually. A good ar
ticle will last for quarter of cen
fury, and. moreover. barristers do not
altogether appreciate new wigs. as they
suggest that the wearer is new to the
business and consequently has not had
much experience.
The cost varies from l to - guineas.
The former price purchases an ordi-
nary article, while the latter is the SUN
paid for what is known as a full bot
toned" wig, which is usually worn by
the leading barristers on the occasion
Of great trial. It is also the kind
which adorns the head of the speaker
Of the house Of commons.
Most Of the horsehair is imported,
but the home product is the best and is
