His CaIvInized Hat.

a well known figure in Boston, being
one of our famous Unitarian ministers,
friend of many Of the transcen-

white panama hat in summer. The
same hat did him season after season,
yet it never seemed to lose any of its
fresh whiteness.
Zone day a minister of the old per-
suasion and very pronounced in his
orthodoxy asked DR.. Ellis how he kept
his hat so white.
THAT is easy,' said the doctor, for
it has been Calvinized.'

THERE are some strange statements
in regard to DIR. Ball in the Susser

Georgetown Union Republican"
Here are two sentences of one editor
iaI-''Dr. Ball is not opposed to one
Republican party in Delaware"
CDR. Ball is an advocate of common
primaries in New Castle County" :"
How we'll the two statements look to-
gether. DR.. Ball posing as an advocate
of one Republican Party in Delaware,
yet insisting upon common primaries
and majority rule in New Castle Coun-
ty alone. Is any man fool enough to
believe that the Republican Party can
be brought together by this Regular
harmony In spots" plan? If the Reg
ulars believe it they are bigger set OF
fools than we gave them credit for.
There is one way, and only one, in
which the Republican Party of Del
aware will ever again get together, and
that is by common primaries and ma
jority rule from one end of the State to
the other. The people of Kent and
Sussex do not propose to allow the
Delaware Avenue Silk Stocking Club
to run the political affairs in the two
lower counties. We have men of
brains as we'll as Drawn in lower Della

our rights. We know our strength
