DR.. Mackenzie Lost His Suit.

The suit of DR.. James G. Mac
kenzie against the trustees of the
Jacob Tome Institute, at Port De-
post, for 100000, came to a sud-.
den end Friday morning last, in
the Kent County Circuit Court,
and DIR. Mackenzie lost his suit.
When all testimony of the plain
tiff had been heard the counsel for
the defendant sprung a surprise by
moving that the jury be instructed
to bring in verdict for the defen-
dants. The court, with Chief
Judge Pearce and Judge Brown on
the bench, held the question sub
curia, and Judge Pearce, in writ
ten opinion, delivered Friday morn
ing, granted the petition of the de-
PENDANTS.
Judge Pearce said that DR.. Mac
kenzie had resigned from the direc-
torship of the institute and thus
severed all connection with it.
Afterward he was reelected for a
term of one year and a half at a
salary of $4,000. The time he was
elected for was definite and specific
and the compensation he was to
receive was put down in writing.
The institute had carried out its
part of the written contract to the
letter and that no other construction
could be put upon the written con-
tract other than that done by the
defendants. Therefore the court
would instruct the jury to bring in
verdict for the defendants. The
plaintiff refused to answer when
the verdict was about to be taken
and a nolle pros. was entered. 1t
is understood that DR.. Mackenzie
will at once bring new suit in the
United States Court.

Powder MIL Blown Up.

The grinding mill in the Hagley
yards of the l.. 1. Dupont de Ne
mours Company, near Rising Sun,
Del, on the Brandywine, exploded
Monday afternoon at l O'Clock, kill
ing one man, William Mcdowell,
and wrecking the building.
Mcdowell, the man who was kill
ed, was in the building at work
when the explosion occurred and
the only workman in the grinding
mill, which was located in the up
per end of the yard. His body was
blown to pieces.
Houses in the vicinity of the
powder plant were shaken to their
foundations. Residents living near
the works say the explosion was
one of the heaviest that ever oc-
cured in that section.
The cause of the explosion will
probably never be known, as no
one except Mcdowell was near the
mill when the accident occurred.

1t has developed that the recent in
crease in wages given by number of the
railroads to their employees, was but q
preparatory move toward general in
crease in freight rates all along the line
Shippers and the public press generally
are denouncing the proposed higher tariff
to be demanded, but as public interests
are never consulted by these big corpor
ations the people will have to "pay the
freight" whether high or low, or dc
without the goods. In the light of these
developments the recent much Landed
"benevolence" of the railroads loses some
ofits luster.

The Commoner on Cleveland.

In commenting OIL the article of eX-
President Grover Cleveland, relative 10
the reorganization and leadership of the
democratic party, recently published in
the New York World. the Commoner says
its editor is interested i'll securing reforms.
political, economic and social, and being
convinced that the Clevelandizing of the
democratic organization would mean the
abandonment of all prospect or promise OF
reform, he feels it his duty to warn the
rank and file against such a disastrous
retreat as that counseled by the sage of
Princeton.
Cleveland speaks of the old time sue
cess of the party, says the Commoner,
land yet he not only did all he could to
defeat the party in 1896, but he had the
morti6cation-from which he has never
recovered-of seeing the ticket poll about
a million more votes when he opposed it
than it did when he was the candidate
four years before with united party be-
hind him. The gold democratic ticket
which he pretended to support in 1896
while he actually threw his influence to
the republican ticket-only secured one
hundred and thirty thousand votes in the
entire country. If Mr. Cleveland and his
followers demand positions of leadership,
let them bring Endorsements that bear
democratic signatures. They are relying
at present upon republican recommends
tons and the only recent successes to
which they have contributed are the repub.
lican successes which they now promise
to overturn on condition that the demo-
cratic party will become the servile tool
of the financial interests that dominate
the republican party.
.'If the reorga mixers regain possession
Ia possibility so remo,ethat no one should
assume it) Mr.. Cleveland should be the
nominee, for he in his own person repre-
sents the wounds and bruises received by
the reorganizers as well as their aims and
methods. If there is to be "a complete
abandonment of the party's position. il
ILL Poihy a. W SNeh'A iOi GU ap'1AhNSl1
changed policy then no other candidate
should be considered. He combines, as
no other living person does, those pecu-
liar and, let it be said with gratitude. rare
intellectual and moral characteristics
which embolden public official to betray
the voters of his own party and deliver his
country into servitude to the money
changers.
"Of all those who gather their political
information from the ticker and whose
party enthusiasm rises and falls with the
stock market, he is the only one of prom
inence who is shameless enough to pose
as democratic leader or offer suggestions
to those who give valuable considera
tion for the money which they draw from
society. His intimate connection with
corporate wealth and with those who
manipulate it incapactates him for the
fair consideration of those questions
which effect the masses"

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news TO the. mothers Of
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is
hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
it will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never been
known to fail It is. in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take.

Death of Cartoonist Mast.

United States Consul Thomas
Mast, the famous cartoonist, died
of yellow fever, at Guayaquil, Ec
uador, at noon, Sunday, after an
illness of three days, aged 50 years.
Thomas Mast was best known
through his cartoons, his sketches
of the Heenan-Sayers prize fight
bringing him first into prominence.
His series of pictures on the Tweed
ring in New York city were one oil
the most powerful factors in the
breaking up Of that corrupt polit.
ical ring. After service with var
ious publications as an illustrator
and cartoonist, Mr.. Mast retired
from active work several years ago,
making his home at Morristown,
N. j. He was nominated Consul
General at Guayaquil on May l,
1902, and left New York for his
post on July /.

The Cecil Democrat is still examining
the County Statement and last week took
up the item of printing, and as side
issue, had fling at the county papers for
their lack of criticism of the conduct OF
public business The editor then pats
himself on the back for his own dis
play of courage and independence, and
his praiseworthy efforts toward reform in
the county offices. The record Of the
editor of the Democrat in behalf of clean
politics and legislation for Cecil county
has been such as to permit him to hurl
with impunity, irregularly shaped par
ticles of granite at his county contempt
raries and not in the least endanger his
own crystal palace
