DOVER is likely to have, if it gets all
it asks from the Legislature, a surfeit
of financial institutions. The two
banks have for years met the wants of
the people for financial Accommodations,
but last week, through the passage of
both houses, the Diamond State Trust
Company was incorporated, said COM
pany intending to engage in general
banking business. Now there is bill
before the Legislature to incorporate
the Kent Savings Bank with a capital
stock of S25, 900. The latter is said to
represent the interests of the Farmer Is
Bank, which will endeavor to force the
new Diamond State Trust Company
from the banking field about Dover,
and a merry clash is expected should
the Kent Savings Bank be incorpo-
rated.

There was much excitement in the
neighborhood of Seventh and Madison
streets, Wilmington, for short time
Saturday afternoon, as it was supposed
that Frank G. Blade of PocomOke
City, who boards with Mrs. Sarah At
kinsen at No. 715 Madison street had
committed suicide Mrs. Atkinson
being under the impression that Blade
had drunk quantity of laudanum with
suicidal intent, had Officer Edwards
notified. The officer summoned the
Phoenix Ambulance and had Blade re-
moved to the Delaware Hospital. At
the hospital stomach pump was put
in use and it soon discovered that
Blade was suffering with nothing more
or less than overdose of liquor. He
was discharged from the Hospital Sat
urday night. Blade, according to Mrs.
Atkinson, has attempted to commit
suicide five or six times by drinking
landanum.

Mrs. Nation, of Topeka, Kansas,
has shown that she is no freak; her ap-
pearance before the public is the lOgi-
cal result of the officers disregarding
their oaths and letting whiskey
''ioints" be run contrary to law. The
demoralizing effects have been terrible
the chief suffering falling to the
women and children. They felt out
ragged and hence the Crusade" the
hatchet being used as an instrument
of vengeance. Mrs. Carrie Nation and
her helpers were forced by the indiffer-
ence of the politicians, to take this
course to stir up the men to defence
of law. At meeting held in Topeka
on Saturday, attended by nearly all
the business men of that city, 1900
signing the warning to illicit sellers of
whiskey that they must have their ne
farious business closed out by Friday
or take the consequences. The town
of Holton was cleared of its joints in
less than two hours, though 1t had
been defying the public for more than
fifteen years. The crusaders then
went to a church and had thanksgiv-
ing service.

KENToN Hundred has large popula-
lation who claim that they are not of
African blood. They have heretofore in
the main been voting the Republican
ticket but at the past election, through
the potent influence of Willard Sauls-
bury, or some of the moneyed men of
Wilmington, it is claimed, between
forty and fifty of them voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, thus changing mater
tally the vote in that Hundred. Under
the old registration law the letter 'N"
was put at the end of their names.
They want to be registered as "Moors"
or "Mulattoes, and Representative
Hutchinson put in a bill to this effect,
but DIR. Moore fought against the bill
which was considered to be for politi-
cal effect. and defeated it, and then, as
a change seemed to be desired, framed
one doing away with age and color,
making the registration of all voters
just the same This bill passed the
House on Friday and it is believed it
will pass the Senate.

Dover, Is years before the Civil War.
He held no public Office except that of
Clerk of the House in the Legislature.

Office he.flled with unusual alertness
and ability. In 1882 he became sur
geon in the U. S. Army and was as
signed to hospital in Newburn, n.
G. After the war because of the deli
cate health of his wife, he bought a
place on st. John river near Pelatka,

forwards appointed Comptroller of the
State of Florida, and was member of

A complaint comes from Dover that

information about the titles or con.

The reason of the denial of Speaker

often kept at their desks until mid

comes to public notice the fact that
very much of the fish labeled salmon
Is not salmon at all, but spoonful cat
fish which is caught in the gulf of Mex
leo. This fish is chemically treated by
which process its flesh is changed to a
beautiful salmon pink color, and it is
thus eaten and no doubt reIished as
salmon. Possibly it is just as good and
just as nutritious. The question which
naturally arises Is whether that which
may be genuinely good food may be

The question is one of real interest to
the public in view of the future posi-
bilities involved and really should have

Chicago, April 6.-Frank Coburn, a

form at the top of telephone pole
cutting out connection, and the hun
dreds of people watching him did not
know he was dead till they saw smoke
ascending from the platform 1t was
at Garfield boulevard and Halsted
street. Coburn assembled the pole at
: o'clock. Several men We're in the
gang working i'm the vicinity. The
pole had platform surrounded by an
iron railing under the crossarms. AS
the linemen reached the platform he
seized wire with the cutters and re-
manned standing in that position. A
current of 1000 volts passed through
his body when his cutters touched the
wire. The sOles of his shoes took fire
and it was with difficulty that they
were loosened from the platform. The
body was supported partly by the iron
railing and partly by the grip on the
wire overhead. The body was lowered
to the ground by the other workmen.
