THE proposition made by the
Regulars" last week for common
primaries in New Castle county,
was considered by the Union Re-
publican County Committee, and a
reply sent rejecting the offer and
showing the reason therefor
which was that some time ago a
proposition was made to the reg
ular" State Central Commute by
the Union Republican State Cen
trail Committee to have common
primaries in all three counties of
the State, but their communication
was not even given the courtesy of
a reply. This took the matter out
of the Union Republican County
Committee hands.
The following is the text of the
reply to the Regulars"
Headquarters Union Republican Com
nlittee of New Castle county.
Wilmington, Del, June 3, 1902.
To the Republican County Committee
New Castle County.
GENTLEMEN The resolution passed
by your County Committee, May 8lst,
received. The matter of common pri-
maries has been taken from our County
Committee by our State Central Com
mittee. We having passed resolu-
ton that common primaries should
prevail all over the State, which propo
sition was made to your State Commit
teeand not accepted. Our county com.
mittee cannot, under the circumstances,
entertain your proposition until OuI
State Committee authorizes the same
Very respectfully,
S. FRANK EwART,
Attest I, P. BARNARD, Chairman
Secretary.

Daring Scientists Stood on Very Edge
Of the Crater.
Fort de France, June 4. - George
KEENAN,, accompanied by Messrs. JAG
caci and Varian, arrived here yester.
day morning alter an absence of 70
days. Prof. Angelo Heilprin. presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Geographical
Society, and Mr. Leddbetter reached
Fort de France this morning.
Professor Heilprin, Mr.. KEENAN, and
Mr.. Varian have assembled Mont Pelee.
They stood on the very edge of the
crater, and looked down on the incan-
descent mass within. This ascent was
made last Sunday, and it was the sec
ond time Professor Heilprin climbed
the mountain.
In an interview Mr.. KEENAN, said:
Give of US started for the crater of
the volcano last Sunday, and three of
US reached our objective. We crossed
Lake Palmiste, which is now drv and
full of boulders and huge, ragged rocks
of trachyte, rhyolite and andesite. We
then climbed on up and reached the
edge of the crater. We found it to be
a huge chasm OF crevasse. with DER
pendicular walls. We could see down
into the crater more than $50 feet: il

ANOTHER proposition has been
made by the Regular Republi-
cans" of Wilmington, to the Union
Republicans of New Castle County
for harmony of interests and the
naming of one ticket. This comes
after a blocking" canvas has just
been made, in which an attempt
was made to ascertain the political
views of republicans as to the two
factions of the party, and it is fair
to presume that the canvas has
shown to the Regulars" an in
creased an increasing growth favor
ing the Union Republicans in New
Castle County, which has brought
about the desire to have one ticket
and harmony that will not show
the actul strength of the faction
following Mr.. Dupont. The pro-
position of common primaries is all
right so far as it goes-which is
only one-third of the way. If
common primaries are good enough
for New Castle-why not the same
plan be applied to Kent and Sussex?
The desire to retain the fat County
offices i'll New Castle is strong
enough to bring the Regulars to
an alliance which will bring pot
tage to themselves, but apparently
not of sufficient power for them to
apply the common primary remedy
throughout the state for reorganiza-
tion of the party and nomination OF
State and County officers. The
proposition made by their New
Castle County Committee appears
to be an individual effort casting
about Tor truce rather than peace
but after all, it would be well
enough for Union Republicans tc
accept their proposition even fol
New Castle, and by one more sound
drubbing in Kent and Sussex
Counties teach another object les
son. Great good has already re-
suited from republican rule i'll the
State and County governments Of
Delaware, by economy and i'll adj
miristration of financial affairs
which have placed the state in al
easy money situation, and County
orders on a cash basis.

Neglected Opportunities.

Probably in every large commu-
nifty there are many lines of bust
ness in which no enterprising man
or firm has had the courage to
carry on an advertising campaign.
Yet such a campaign would result
in an enormous increaseof business
to the advertiser, and would place
him far ahead of all competitors.
The lack of enterprise and courage
alone prevents any one of the es-
adjustments from achieving a not
able success.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES.
The Simple Explanation OF q Yer
Ordinary Phenomenon.

The Simple Explanation of q Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.
An instance of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated by
an article that goes the rounds Of the
press once or twice annually-namely,
the story OF the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches In his house - the radiators,
picture frames, banquet lamps, etc
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water pipes
near his, residence. The electric lighl
inspector is therefore summoned. and
reports that the wires of his company
R73 intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any of the peo
pie consulted that the discoverer al

at every opportunity. One may even
get electric discharges from his knuc-
kles against the brass lock of hand
bag which he may be carrying while
walking on d stone pavement during
cold, dry weather.
But dismissing newspaper science,
1t is somewhat astonishing, in view of
the many ways in which in cold, dry
countries electricity is unintentionally
developed and manifested by spark
ing, that the first knowledge cobcern-
ing this phenomenon did not come to
the ancients in this way rather than
by the attraction Of light substances
by amber. The explanation of This,
however may be that the scientists Of
bygone days did not reside in cold, dry
countries.-Cassier's Magazine.

When to Eat Frnft.

The question is often asked. At wLAr
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit is the
chief article of food, the rule appears
to be that the earlier in the day it is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people will eat none after noon. alleg
ing that the digestion then declines i'll
power with the decline of the day and
the fruit, instead of digesting, decom

may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience, though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling

SEVENTH DRY ADVENTISTS CAUSE
EMBARRASSMENT

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. n.-The
case described recently Of the Seventh
day Adventist who was dismissed from
his clerkshfp in the Office Of the ap-
praiser of the port of New York be-
cause he refused to work on Saturday,
seems to have pried the food gates
ajar, If it has not actually opened
them. Great inroads have been made
into the membership of other pioneer
denominations by a SeEenth-day Ad-
ventist who has been holding tent
meetings in this city for two or three
seasons past. The members of his
following have generally yielded to the
.custom of the country" rather than
obey the sterner dictates of their
awakened consciences, in continuing to
work on Saturdays as on other days
and taking their rest on Sunday, but
the dismissal of the appraisers clerk
has had the same spiritual effect as the
death of the martyrs in the days of the
early church.
The officers of some of the larger de-
partments are now daily getting petit
tions from one quarter and another for
permission for certain employees to OBJ
serve Saturday as the Sabbath Hith-
erto these appeals have come directly
from individuals; but today Senator

stituents already in the government

in the auditors offices. This employe
is reasonable enough to propose that
he shall take his thirty days annual
leave spread over as many weeks, one
Saturday at time, and that for the
other twenty-five Saturdays of the year
he shall be allowed to absent himself
from Office at his own expense. AS he
is very satisfactory clerk, whose SER
vices can be dispensed with only at a
considerable sacrifice, the secretary of
the treasury will have an interesting
problem to solve. 1t is likely that a test
case will be made of this mans plea,
and that the opinions of the civil SER
vice commission and the attorney gen.
eral may be obtained, with a view to
making up a case for presentation to
the President. who may have to make
the ultimate decision and establish a
precedent.
The public service now contains a
number Of Hebrews, who are content,
as rule to take things as they find
them. If the government only admits
its liability to change the routine of
departmental work in response to the
Seventh-day idea, it is feared that the
consequences may become pretty Sc

officers are feeling uncomfortable now
on account of the publicity given to the

sion he refused to compliment his roy

time fell into disfavor His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author of the "Ingoldsby Legends, ;"
contains, among other anecdotes Of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher-
tied himself.
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin.
ing in health. She told him she he'd
made her will, by which the whole of
considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
II don't believe it." said Cannon aft
er pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room.
Il won't believe It," persisted Can
non, unless l see it''
Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well," he said deliberately, '1f I
had not seen it in your own hands,
could not have believed you were such

Thrusting the paper between the bars

low voice: "Have you no one more

The German solder. vvAse.

One of the peculia"ities about the
military service in Germany is the pa
sternal interest that the officers are re.
quired to take in the frugality Of the
men. The pay of the soldier is only
6 cents a day, but the army regula-
tions guard it jealously. Each man is
expected to keep his money in little
bag suspended from string around
his neck, and any officer during in
spection may demand to have the bags
opened and their contents shown. If
1t be found that Il soldier is spending
his pay too freely-think Of that. with
the pay at so low a mark-he is rep
rimanded and punished. He is COM
PEELED to make his pay cover his ex-
penses..
