SHOW WAS BIG SUCCESS
Thousands Of Wilmington People Go 10
Zee Walter L.. Mains Big CircnS

About the best circus that ever Wis
Iited Wilmington came here yesterday
under the direction and ownership of
Walter L. Main. An immense street
parade was given in the morning, and
the people OF Wilmington turned out in
la body TO see it. AT the Performance
in the afternoon the big tent was
crowded, and everyone who saw the
performance said it was the finest ever
presented to a Wilmington audience.
In the evening it seemed as though
all the people in the city had gone out
to see the show. The seats under the
canvas were filled shortly after the
doors opened and when it was time for
the performance to start the people
were seated ON the grass around the
ring ten deep, unable TO get a seat on
the tiers OF benches on in the grand
stand. The features Of the show were
all attractive and some OF the best
acrobats. slack-wire performers, ira
peze actors. bareback riders and trick
tumblers ever seen in this city were
in evidence.
There we're numerous clowns, who
added merriment to the show and kept
up the interest of the spectators, while
changes we're being made. All those
who saw the circus wonder how it
could be presented at such a low price
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany furnished excellent service. They
had all their available cars at the
show grounds and men stationed all
along the lines to prevent a block.

Swallowing Bait

It was in the little "swimmin' hole,
In the "cow-lot' years ago,
When my face was full of freckles
And a stone-bruise swelled my toe

Seeing the little sucker squirm.

Al being fooled and caught
Never entered in my bOyish head
For ! had no time for Thought,
Another section Of red-wOrm weut--
Went quickly on the pin.
And In the "swimmin' hole" It dropped
To lure his next of kin.
Lines Of care now mark the place
Where the freckles used to grow.
And the heart now gets the bruises
That used to swell the toe;
And know now how that Sucker

When he found himself ashore,
For more than once I've played his

And swallowed 'baits" galore.

CONVICTS KILL THREE GUARDS
Prisoners in Oregon Jail Shoot Down
Their Keepers

Salem. Ore, June 1O.-Two desper-
ate prisoners. Harry Tracey, sentenced
to 20 years, and David Merrill. a 13-
year man, serving sentences for as
sault and robbery committed in Multi
nomah county, escaped from the peni-
tentiary yesterday after killing three
guards, Frank Ferrell, S. !. Jones and
Benjamin Tiffany.
The prisoners had just marched into
the foundry for work, when Tracey ap-
peared suddenly with rifle and shot
Ferrell, killing him almost instantly.
Ingram, life prisoner, attempted to
take the rifle from Tracey, when Mer-
rill shot Ingram through the leg.
Other prisoners. forced at the point of
pistol, permitted the two men to
climb a ladder to the wall.
Getting outside, they shot Jones.
Tiffany, after being wounded, leaped
over the fence and followed the men,
shooting at them until they killed
him. The prisoners then escaped into
the woods. A posse Of 40 men is out
after the prisoners and has them To-
Gated in the woods.
A battle is expected. The posse is
headed by Sheriff Durbin, Sheriff-eleci
Goliath and several officers from the
prison. The prisoners are armed with
two rifles and two revolvers. The
arms are believed to have been thrown
over the stockade Sunday night by
friends among excursionists who came
from Portland.

cHEArING OURSELVES

Il is said that most men believe IN
good government in the abstract but
we are persuaded they also admire il
in the concrete. They want good gov
eminent not only generally but in
Wilmington, in Delaware. A majority
Of our people, for instance, are i'm favor
of the movement to purify the govern
ment of our city and county; they only
vince when personal or party friends
are attacked. Here is the weakness Of
human nature; we are not willing to
pay the necessary price for a given
commodity. If every matter of i'm
portance could be settled as an abstract
question without personal interest en-
tering into it, we should settle most of
them right For instance, il Mary
land would submit to the voters of Della
aware the question of whether buying
votes In her DOMAIN should be allowed,
we should give an emphatic no; yet,
when the same question Of our own is
before us, we virtually say yes.
We always want the other fellow to
reform. just as we wonder why our
neighbor doesn't profit more by the
sermon. But when election time rolls
around there is a tendency to acquiesce
in the nomination Of the same sort of
man which the other side elected TO Of
fee. and was subsequently sent to
Jail. 1t takes little to persuade the
average citizen that the methods he
has denounced in others may not be
used by him in the way OF retaliation.
What is the remedy? Oh, well, we
all know it. Il is to use what sense
We have and to do our obvious duty
Apparently many men, when they get
in politics. lose all intellectual honesty.
and begin to hedge and back and fill,
tin every man who votes their ticket is
a good fellow. and the best man of the
opposition has escaped hanging only
for the want of evidence. This Is self
deception which apparently satisfies,
but in which we are cheating our
selves.
The next campaign viii soon be
upon us; the primaries will come first,
and the election win follow Let us
all insist that the men nominated,
Democrats and Republicans, shall be
worthy OF the offices to which they as

than half won. We don't want TO be
insulted by an incompetent candidate
even though he be on the opposition
ticket We want to wake up and be
as good in politics as in church, as
honest as we are in our homes, as wiss
as we are in business. If you laugh

The Logical Conclusion
mle Pittsburg Dispatch.

From uhe Pittsburg Dispatch.
Following the disclosure of demands
upon public school teachers in Phila-
delphia for the payment OF money and
the delivery of votes to secure and re-
tain appointments comes a proposal
which is the logical conclusion of that
policy. This is a movement among
the city politicians for the recommen-
dation to THE Legislature Of a bill for
the abolition of the Sectional School
Boards and Board of Education, and a
special committee is to be entrusted
with pressing this measure. The i'm
mediate result would be to give the
mayor the power of appointing the g.
500 teachers in the city This would
be taking politics into the schools with
a vengeance.
Il was not to be expected that the
persons who were ready to levy toll on
the appointment of teachers under the
old system would be content until they
had carried the evolution to its limit
and the schools were firmly riveted tC
the political chariot. But Il remains
to be seen whether the people Of Phila-
delphia and the voters of the State will
permit this desecration. II public
sentiment is converted into action a
the polls the projectors of this scheme
SHOULD have but brief interval Of as
tendency.

London. June 10.-rhe second test
match for the polo championship of the
world between representative teams of
England and America, was played on
the grounds of the Hurlingham Polo
Club yesterday afternoon, and resulted
in a sweeping victory for the English
men, by 6 goals to /.
Each team has now won game, and
a third and deciding game will be
played in the near future, probably
within a week.
The weather conditions which gov
erned the match yesterday were sup
posed to favor the Americans. Rain
laden clouds hung over the grounds all
day, while the polo field, which was
heavY and soggy from the recent
deluge, was supposed to improve the
Americans chances.
What little betting there was yester-
day was slightly in favor of the Eng
lishmen. The last victory of the Yam
kee quartette had taught the Britishers
a lesson on the betting question, and
as a result the followers Of the sport
exhibited a wholesome respect for the
