TROUBLES OF A DIpLOMArIsT.
Disastrous Career of Former POrtu-
ReGs MLniater who Ventured
Into Wall street,

Ten years back the little kingdom
of Portugal was represented by
Souza Rosa, who was the Apollo of
the diplomatic corps, the most popu-
lar man in society of that day,
whose dinners and little suppers,
whose languishing eyes and fascinat-
ing ways are still remembered, says
the New York Sun.
But the handsome Souza had need
of money. His salary and allow
ances fell far short of supporting the
establishment he maintained here
and he attempted to increase his re-
sources by gambling in Wall street,
receiving tips from the beautiful
wife of a noted senator.
All went well at first, money came
flowing into the Golfers of the di-
plomatist, there were many more
dinners given in his bachelor apart
ments, many more little suppers.
But one day poor Souza got caught,
was sold out and found himself thou
sands of dollars in debt.
There was only one thing to be
done-to sell all he had and ask for
his recall, and this he did as speed
lily as circumstances would allow.
The king of Portugal and the queen,
who is said to be very fond of her
handsome compatriot, saw to it that
Sousa Rosa did not suffer by his
indiseretion and caused him to be
transferred to Paris where there are
no beautiful wives of senator's to
give him tips and no wicked Ameri-
can stock brokers, and where he has
lived in happiness and contentment
since his unfortunate American ex-
perience.

Letter from Charles Prathar.

Washington, ID. c., October 80, 1902.
To the Glacier IL take my pen in hand
to write you few lines to let you know
that we are in good health. | have
been better of the rheumatic since |
came back here. We have been pretty
much all over the city and have visited
about all of the parks, We went out
yesterday to see the National Museum
and the Washington monument. We
have seen a great many. things but
nothing to compare with the scenery of
the West. Everything that you buy
here costs about the same as in Hood
River. We took walk the other day to
pick some persimmons and tramped
around for half day, getting only half
a gallon We stood very poor show
because there are so many here who
are watching to grab every persimmon
that falls. 1t seems very lonesome here
since the Grand Army boys have gone
home. Please forward my paper to me.
Give my best respects to all inquiring
friends. CHARLES b. PRATHAR.

These are collective nowns; they ex-
press collection OF individuals or an

Recipe, is specifically medical term
and should be used only in that connec-

Receipt, is written acknowledgment
of anything received.
Food is healthful, not healthy.
Healthy, means possession of health.
Healthful, means productive of health.
There is no such thing as gram

HELD FOB PERJURY

| As q sequel to the conviction of John
Lynn, president of the Levy Court, one
of the principal witnesses who was calsad
on behalf Of Lynn at the recent trial was
taken into custody Thursday evening by
Detective James P. Ratledge, on q war;
rant charging "wilful and corrupt per-
jury"
The man arrested is Frederick Van
SAINT of Christiana hundred, and be must
answer in theupper court the accusation
that his testimony tending to corroborate
Lynn was false. He was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Hollis at Wilmington and
waived a hearing, his bail in the sum OF
81 900 being furnished by DIR. John G.
Fahey.
The warrant against Vansant was sworn
out by Detective Ratledge in the Office Of
Magistrate Hollis late Thursday after
noon. Deputy Attorney General Richards
was present at the time the warrant was
prepared. Vansant was arrested esrly in
the evening at Elsmere, and was greatly
surprised when informed that he was
accused of perjuring himself
Walter Fl. Hayes appeared at the mag
istrate's Office, and after brief consulta-
tion advised Vansant to waive hearing,
which he did as soon as be was called for
a preliminary hearing. Vansant proved
one of the most important witnesses
called on behalf of President Lynn at his
trial. Lynn, it will be recalled, testified
that he gave the $56 which he drew from
the county treasury to Lawrence M.
Whiteman on Lynn's porch at Elsmere,
Vansant and man named Caleb John
son being present at the time. Vansant
corroborated President Lynn as to details,
saying that he called at Eynn,s house
sometime between October 10th and 18th,
1900, Lynn, Whiteman and Caleb John
son being present. He heard Lynn and
Whiteman have dispute, he testified,
and then saw President Lynn hand $56
to Whiteman.
Now it is said the state has received in
formation that warrants the present pro-
ceedings being taken to try to prove that
Vansant's statement was entirely false, in
that he never saw Whiteman at Lynn's
house, nor witnessed the transfer of the
$50 as testified to.

THE PEST HousE

Again it is the Trustees OF the
Poor who are under the lime
I light. They started some time
ago to build an Emergency Hos
pital in which to isolate cases OF
contagious diseases, and it has
now become in truth a pest house.
The first move was made by Viii
mitlgton's Board of Health who
were able to convince the Trus-
tees of the Poor that the building
should be erected by the county
at Farnhurst. The county ar
chitect," E. l.. Rice, submitted
plans for building, the cost of
which was not to exceed 81, 900
and a contEact was awarded to
David Dangel to build it for
$3, 800. After the foundation
walls were up and not before it
was discovered that the plans
called for O. frame building and
not brick. Then a halt was
called and new specifications Sc
cured, under which Mr.. Dangel
proceeded to build a brick hos
pital for about $4,000. This
buildings about complete and it
is found that there are no cutters
or conductors to carry off the
water, the plaster is applied di-
rect to the bricks, and that there
are many other defects that al
together renders the building
unfit for hospital uses.
Some, in fact a majority, Of
the Trustees of the Poor have
fstiiafifffee announced their determination
not to accept -or-to pay for the
building, but if the contractor
has followed the specification,
and a man of his experience
would be likely to do so, there
will be no help for it, and as one
Of the Trustees expressed, the
county will suck that teat again. +"
It is no credit to the Trustees of
the Poor to be caught in this
Not one of them would
accept an architects plans for a
building in which his own money
was to be invested without giving
careful consideration to the mat.
ter. And surely none would be
so foolish. as to start building
with only one copy of the speci-
fcations and that in the contrac-
tors hands. Yet this is what
they did in expending $4,000 or
more of the taxpayers money. |
In the argument on the case at
the last meeting of the board, |
one of the Trustees said that the
case might yet come before the
Grand Jury. We certainly agree
with him. Such dereliction of
duty should be punished. For
tunately a majority of the Trus-
tees will retire from public life
n less than two onths, and as
BY that time the Levy Court will
be in the control of honest cap
Ible men, their successors may
oe expected to be better qualified
kHll their places.
