cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
fsHOME GOLD CURE which has been
perfected after many years of close study
and treatment of inebriates. The faith
ful use according to directions of this

teed to cure the most obstinate case, no

VIII Work in nnarru

Those Yiolators of the law who may be
committed to the county workhouse to
serve short sentences will pass their
hours in quarry work. The trustees have
decided to enclose the six acre quarry
tract with a barbed wire fence about
which will be stationed guards to prevent
the prisoners escaping. Within the en-
closure several small houses will be erect
ed in which to store tools and shelter the
convicts in case of storms.

THE TRUSTEES OF THE POOR

Mr.. Joseph G. Parker, the
member Of the Trustees OF the
Poor from st. Georges Hundred
is making as good a record for
himself in that body as Mr.. M.
NJ Willis is making in the Levy
Court. Both are very much in
the minority, but both are brave
enough to speak their minds on
all occasions when the peoples
money is being wasted on jobs
and other illegal plans. Mr..
Parker has recently drawn at
tention to the extravaganza OF
the Trustees of the Poor, par
ticularly in the matter OF outside
relief, andhas shown by the hg-
ures how the expenditures have
grown in the past few years.
Taking 1892 as a beginning
point, when the number OF IN
mates was at least fifteen per
cent. larger that at present
the appropriation for all expendi'
lures was $4,000. During the
hard times of 1893, 1894 and 1895,
this amount was found to ba
insufficient and the Levy Court
raised the appropriation to $780,
600, an increase of0 twenty i've
per cent. For the fiscal yeal
ending June 30, 1901, even this
amount was too small, although
as stated above the population
had decreased fifteen per cent
At the July meeting of the Trus
tees, over 5000 worth OF war
rants were drawn, while those
drawn at the April meeting hat
exceededth dtheappropriation nearly
$4,000, thus making an overdrat
of more than $4,000, or nearly
thirty per cent. of the whole
amount expended in 1892. X
pat it in another way, the Trus
tees had spent $4,000 last yea.
and have asked and been granted
an additional appropriation Q
$1,000 for a new pest house, max
ing a total of $46,O expended il
one year. Perhaps it might b.
as well for the citizens organiza
ton to look after the Trustees o
the Poor and to call the Attor
ney-General's attention to tn
matter.
Since the above was put in type
we have been informed that a
the meeting of the Trustees Q
the Poor on Wednesday, MI
Parker was made the victim 9
.villifcation and abuse for th
course he had taken. This is tn
usual resort of law-breaker;
Innocent men do not indulge !
such means, because they ca
prove their innocence. Guilt
men know they have no other n
course. The Trustees by thei
course have deliberally invite
classification with the police cal
tain who when caught rec
handed, argues the case by clut

For a state Work House

The new work house for New Castle
county will be ready for use about Octo-
Der, first, and it is great misfortul g
that it is not State institution. Each
year Kent and Sussx counties pay out
from FIVE to nine thousands dollars to
keep criminals and vagrants in idleness,
when they should be breaking stone to
go on our public roads. If the cost is
not reduced one penny, the public will
be getting something back as return for
their money. The next Legislature

CITIZENS MEETING

The meeting called IOr laSI
Tuesday evening in Wilmington,
was even more largely attended
than was expected, the room in
which it was held being entirely
too small to accommodate all who
desired to be present. The object
of the meeting was to effect an
organization of the taxpayers to
give assistance to Attorney-Gen-
eral Ward in his investigation
into the management, or mis-
management Of county affairs by
the present and preceding Levy
Court. This organization was
completed by the election of Al
fred Gawthrop as President and
William F. Kurtz as Secretary
and the appointment of a COM
mittee to select and recommend
fifty citizens who shall constitute
an executive committee. This ex-
ecutiye committee will be con-
firmed at the next meeting in
about two weeks, when a name
will be chosen for the organiza-
ton. On the same day, quite a
heated argument was held in the
Levy Court over the Seventh
Street Bridge contract which is
rapidly developing into a scandal
of high degree. The charge was
openly made by Mr.. Chandler,
one of the Republican members
that the plans and specifications
we're not in possession of the
Levy Court, but were held by an
exmember. This was denied by
President Lynn who asserted

JAPS WILLING TO STUDY.
Besso. why They Learn the English
Language Faster Than the
Chinese Do.

Il asked very intelligent and
highly educated japanese the other
day why his countrymen seemed TO
learn English 90 much more easily
than the Chinese do" said New Or
leans Times Democrat reporter. His
reply was interesting. The language
H. just as difficult for one race as IL is
for the other he said, but the Jap
snese are willing TO study and the
Chinese are not. Nearly all the
Chinese who speak English have
picked II up by ear. so their pronun-
citation is, OF course, very imperfect
aud their vocabulary small. They are
not u studious race and will not take
the pains to learn a language thor
oughly. Hardly any of their upper
class officers except few of their
foreign ministers speak English. and
81 is next to impossible to find u
Chinaman who can read IL. With u.s.
he added, 1T Is entirely different.
We study English systematically at
all our schools, and nearly every edu-
Gated Japanese is able to read it, even
IL he cant converse in the tongue.
That surprised me and l asked him
for some further explanation.
"'Well, IL is this way he said. We
have mahy Japanese scholars who
make a business of teaching English
hundreds OF them all over the ma
tion--but the trouble Is that they
have learned the language out Of
books themselves and do not know
now to speak il correctly. So, in

people who can read and write Eng

paratively few can converse easily in

I asked him whether japanese was
harder 90 acquire than English and
he smiled. 4 never experienced any
trouble myself in learning Japanese
he replied, with twinkle in his eye,
but, seriously, would say yes, il il
q good deal harder. | never met q
European who could speak il with
any huency. In answer TO another
question he said that English was
undoubtedly the better language OF
the two for the expression of ideas,
and the reason he gave struck me as
being very practical. In Japanese,
he said, every written character
stands for some one certain thing and
must be memorized Independently
