Keep Cool.

We believe there is more actual
physical discomfort endured during
the summer because of ones Thoughts
than from the extreme heat. Take,
for instance, a woman who performs
the household labor for family; she
must be up and doing in the morning,
minister at midday and serve at night,
being occupied good share of the in
tervening time in various ways.
There are many things which the
home-keeper, the house-mother, can do
to lessen labor and make herself and
her family comfortable during the sum-
mer solstice. She can open the win
dows when it is cool, fill the house with
the fresh morning air, then close and
shut out the MONDAY hRt and the
midday dust. She can do many little
practical things, but she can do nothing
half so practical or beneficial as to hold
her thoughts in leash, her soul in con-
troll, and her body well out of her
thoughts-save her clean, cool cloth
ing, rest and refreshment.

Sounds Like Fairy Tale.

Forty-two years ago ]. H. Merryman
buried beneath the floor of his mining
cabin in Plumas county $4,000 in gold
nuggets, and this week unearthed his
cache to find his stored wealth Just as
he had left it in 1860. In that far-off
year Merryman, who had prospered as
miner, concluded to visit San Fran
cisco, and putting in belt what gold
he thought he would need, buried the
balance.
The gay life at the Bay soon broke
him, and while befuddled with drink
he was shanghaied and finally landed
at New York. Misfortune followed
misfortune, and it was only recently
that the now aged man had money
enough to return to California.
During the intervening years the
thought of the buried treasure never
left him, and it was with trembling
hand that the old pioneer. grasped a
spade to dig for the gold on the spot
where he figured his cabin once stood.
Providence favored his efforts, and
Monday Merryman came down from
the mountains to take the train for San
Francisco, muttering all the time to
himself: "God is good; God is good"

When General Weyler was sent by
Spain as governor general to Manila,
Don Carlos Palanca, the wealthy Span
iardized Chinaman, determined to send
Mrs. Weyler a gift, the customary way
of obtaining the good will of the Span
ish officials. He found at jeweler's
two necklaces, each costing $4,000 and
both being so beautiful that he could
not choose between them. So he sent
them both to Mrs. Weyler with the
message that she should make her
choice. He received a warm letter of
thanks from her, stating that the neck
laccs were so beautiful that she could
not decide between them and hence
would keep both, which she did.

Judge Hawley's Candidature.
OF DOUGLAS COUNTY.

Although Judge Hawley neither
denies nor admits the truth of the re-
port that he is candidate for United
States Senator, the indications are that
he is inclined to favorably consider the
proposition. Judge Hawley is nearly
70 years of age. Nearly, if not quite,
one-half of his life he has occupied
position upon a judicial bench For
many years he was one of the supreme
judges of Nevada, a position he held
when appointed Judge of the United
States Court for this judicial district,
some ten or twelve years ago. Before
coming to Nevada he practiced law
successfully in California, and was, we
believe, at one time district attorney
in Nevada county in that State. His
entire manhood days have been de-
voted to law and he has never, we un-
derstand, held legislative position in
his life. He could, if he chose, retire
from his present judgeship upon full
pay, five thousand dollars a year,
which is equal to the salary of a United
States Senator. His judicial career
has been an honorable and successful
one, and when he chose to retire to
private life he would leave as enviable
a record as was ever achieved by any
retiring Judge on the Pacific or At
lantic coast.
We are confident that Judge Haw-
ley's best and most sincere friends Of
whatever political party, will regret,
if, in the autumn of his days, he should
conclude to abandon the channel in
which his life's current has run, to
enter contest for position which if
obtained would not add to the honor of
his former career, nor afford him such
plearure in his remaining years as he
has experienced from the performance
of the duties for which he was, and
still is, so eminently fitted, and which
he cannot expect to enjoy at his age in
an entirely different and unfamiliar
branch of public service. This, upon
the supposition of his election, which
is hardly within the limit of the barest
possibility, for the Judges political
views are entirely at variance with
those of at least two-thirds, and prob
ably nearer three-fourths, of the voters
of the State, and if he should permit
his name to be used in connection with
the Senatorship, 1t is a moral certainty

iation of inglorious defeat, which
would be but sorry finale to his hon.
orable public career. There is no man
within or without the borders of the
State, however personally popular, or
however clear his official record, who
advocates the gold standard, trust
fostering and imperialistic policy of
the Republican party, that can success
fully contest for Congressional posi-
tion in the State of Nevada, and Judge
Hawley is thorough going Republi-
can and unreservedly endorses the
policy of his party upon those ques-
tions.
AS the report of the Judges candida
ture was contemporaneous with Sena-
tor Stewards arrival in Carson, it is
fairly presumable that the latter was
the leading spirit in the movement.
Stewards motive is two fold. He hates
Mr.. Newlands, and although he does
not expect to accomplish his defeat he
wishes to make it as hard and expen-

Secures Heavy Damages.

The Supreme Court has handed down
its decision in the case of Taylor against
the Nevada, California and Oregon
Railway, running north from Reno.
Taylor is an engineer on the road,
and on more than one occasion in
formed the proper official of the road
that his engine needed repairing and
was not safe. The official promised to
attend to the matter but did not do so,
and later on Taylor spoke to him about
it again. Nothing was done and few
days after the accident came which re-
suited in permanent injury to Taylor
and prevents him from ever pursuing
his vocation as locomotive engineer.
The jury in the lower court allowed
Taylor $l5, 900 damages, and the rail
road appealed from the verdict. The
Supreme Court refuses to interfere,
and Taylor will get his money.

FATHER AND SON DROWNED
IN THE DELAWARE RIVER
SAD FATE OF SAMUEL RODMAN AND SON
HARRY OF WILMINGTON.
Were out in a Skiff Thursday Fishing for
ShadI When They Were Run into by
a Steam Yacht, Sunk Immediately,

Samuel Rodman, aged SO, and his
son, Harry aged %, of Wilmington,
while fishing for shad in a skiff in the
Delaware River, Thursday were run
down and drowned by the steam yacht
Marietta, owned by Robert Carson, of
Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. The ac-
cident was witnessed by severaFpersons
who saw the men jump into the river,
but did not see them come to the sur
face again, and it is believed the yacht
ran directly over them and gave them
no chance to arise to the surface.
The skiff was badly broken along the
gunwale and the upper works crushed
and knees broken, showing that she
was struck heavy blow. The men
were taken what is known as the bar
drift, which is to the easterly end OF
the western channel of the river, and
signaled the pilot too late to clear
their net. Finding that the yacht was
going over their net they cut it apart,
anu Ill AL luSbAul lllOll bOttl W 40 oAA etNAs
The master of the Marietta, Captain
Charles H. Platt, stated that he saw
the boat, and that the men signaled
him to the eastward and then to the
westward of their boat to clear the net.
He tried to obey them when the crash
took place. He claimed that the men
jumped overheard, locked together,
and before the boat lowered could reach
them they sank out of sight.

barous spirit in those who delight in
them. Take for instance, the boxing
matches which are continually taking
place in this country. Think of them
for a few moments and what is your
conclusion? Are they not disgrace
to the United States? In some cases
base and foot ball might be included,
Judging from the broken noses, dis
lointed arms, severed noses, dislOcated
joints and smashed heads, which the
'young gentlemen" who indulge in
such sports are often called upon to
endure. But they are not compelled
to belong to foot or baseball teams.

they have over the ancients, and an
other decided advantage is that such
brutal games are not favored by the
people. There are many pleasant

alton, such as basket ball, golf, foot
races, rowing, tennis, walking, fenc
ing, and such things; but moderation
in all things is to be remembered.

FAST TRAIN FOR FRUIT SHIPPERS.
Adams Express Company viii Run a Special
Express on Delaware Railroad.

In order to further accommodate
the fruit growers of the entire penin-
sula, the Adams Express Company has
arranged to run a special fast express
train for the movement of perishable
fruit, beginning this week, from points
as far south as Cape Charles, and
local points on the New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk Railroad, running
through to New York, Wilmington
and other prominent northern mar
kets. Hereafter all berry and rush
vegetable shipments must be forwarded
thus. there being no provision made
for them on the passenger trains.
The train will be re-made up at POGO
moke City, taking in the branch road
shipments, and will leave Pocomoke
at $50 o'clock p. M, every day, and
$50 p. m. on Saturdays. The Satur-
day train will thus give Philadelphia
and Wilmington fresh berries and
other vegetables in time for the late
Saturday nights. Heretofore the
fruit shipments have loaded down the
through passenger trains and greatly
delayed them.
