THE Union Republicans of Delaware
despite the fact that they should have
every right of majority rule, have made
Snother effort to bring about harmony
between the Republican factions of
our little commonwealth. All Repub-
Iicans irrespective of faction, should
see the urgent need of getting together
Ih battle array for the coming cam
paign. Our Democratic press, and
Office seekers are only too anxious that
the factional strife should keep up un-
til election day, when they hope to re-
gain power. 1t is hardly possible that
they can do it with united Republi-
can party. 1t has been demonstrated,
that with free ballot and a fair count,
the state is naturally Republican, and
can be kept Republican with friendly
Union OF forces.
The Dover State Sentinel truly says:
cit needs no prophet to fortell that
Delaware, like Maryland, by party
dissention, will fall again into the con-
troll of the Democracy of this State and
that too while its worst leadership is in
control thereof, unless their be party
unity. How much of profit or of salts
faction, this would bring to those, who
by factional bitterness and through an
irreconcilable spirit should bring it
about, would not be very hard to de-
termine We know that if this result
should occur, none would lament ii
more deeply than those who in1amed
by passion, were responsible for the
result. Therefore, this is the hour fOI
all Republicans to enlist under one
banner in common fight for princl
pies, which, regardless of faction, We
all claim to be devoted to-"
''There is one thing we wish to cal
the attention to, not only of the Re
publican newspapers of the State, bu
of every republican in it, if he be
Republican, and that is the evideL
anxiety of every Democratic paper il
this state, to widen the breach hetweel
the two Republican factions, by sym
pathizing in every matter that arise
with one faction at the expense of tn
other. Now, when the test comes, tn
Democrats of this State have no NOR
love for one faction than the other,
any Democratic advantage can b
gained thereby. This needs no othe
proof than that found in recent event!
Again broadly speaking, no good RI
publican can afford to be on too goo
terms with his political enemies. Po
itics is war, and in war, the soldit
who is well regarded by the enem.
admitted to their lines, and treated
any otherwise than as an enemy, is /
all the rules of the cOmmonest commC
sense, sooner or later, an enemy to b
own. After all Of the bitterness of th
past, with its ineffable lack of wisdoi
manifested by both of the parties,
this regretable conflict, let us no.
when not too late, and while there
yet time, consider gravely the certa
and sure consequences of further par
disunion."

State conventions, as was the case in
1900. At the same time, however, it
should not be expected that the old
fair apportionment should be set aside
and new and unfair apportionment
insisted upon. This is the stumbling
block in the way of Joint convention,
but there is time enough to make
concessions on that point.

From Minnesota.

In our national uplift, the most val
liable adjunct to the public school Is
the free library ''the best reading for
the greatest number at the least cost"
and if this republic is to stand fol a
church on every hilltop, and school
in every valley, then must it also go a
step further and supply the demand
these two create, viz: books for every
home
The nation is menanced by the con-
centration of industrial wealth in the
hands of the few, but as an antidote,
the social conscience has asserted its
elf, and it is to be hoped Mr.. Carne-
gie's creed-wealth is life trust-will
| find many converts. Perhaps no bet
ter channel through which to return q
loan to the State could be devised than
the free public library, that opens up 6
great highway of knowledge and pleas
ure all alike may traverse.
A great man once said: "Free corr
in old Rome bribed a mob and kept il
passive" By free books and wha'
goes with them in modern America, VIZ
mean to erase the mob from existence
There lies the cardinal difference be
tween a civilization which perisheC
and civilization which will endure

VOLCANIC ACTION,
Professor Williams as to Cause of Mar
 tiniuue Horror.


 Professor Williams as to Cause Of Mar
 unique Horror
 Professor H. S. Williams, professor of geology at Yale, has this to say of the Martinique horror and its causes:
 "The volcanic explosions were due to water getting into the cavities in the earth and coming in contact with the heated rocks. These explosions are frequent in the vicinity of the sea or rivers The ashes spoken of were real ly not ashes, but fragments of rock thrown out
 These disturbances go to the very depths of the earth, sometimes for miles. Gases are emitted, and, taking fire, produce the flame which is often seen. The molten matter sets fire to anything in it's course. The theory is that the matter in the interior of the earth is under very great pressure, and this pressure keeps it from becoming molten. But as soon as it Is thrown up it is molten matter.
 Earthquakes are produced by sliding away of masses of rock, and then there is settling of, the earth. At the Charleston earthquake the crack in the earth was several miles long. The earth settled only a few inches"

PROBATE MATTERS.

Smed- ley for permission to introduce further testimony regarding the mental condl- ton of his client at the time he testified before the referee Smedley filed pe- tition in bankruptcy year ago ana creditors offered opposition. Attorney Jacobs, who represented several credi- tors, fought Smedley's petition for dis charge and the matter dragged along for months.
 Attorney Chase wants to have the referee hear the opinions ot several eminent physicians whom he proposes to call in to testify to Smedley's condi- rion at the time he testified. Attorney Jacobs opposed the motion and Referee Newton adjourned the case for week.

The writ calls for $1500, while the exact amount of the claim made by the complainants is s1,200. It is said that the amount of goods secured will scarcely pay the costs in the case.

TO THE MoMAIrGu1N.

This morning the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company will inau- gurate temporary service between the Momauguin and East Haven for the benefit of any one desirous of visiting the shore. This will not be a part of
 the regular summer schedule, which
 will not commence until the latter part of the month. Simply one car will be used and in railroad slang will be
 known as the jigger' It will simply
 run from the Momauguin to the point
 Where the Branford line commences,
 and return. The first car will leave the
 Momauguin at 6:18 in the morning and
 the service will be every twenty-four minutes thereafter until 6:42 p. m. In other words. this car will connect with every Branford car. during the day and up to the time the regular Branford car leaves the corner of State and Chapel streets at D. m. Patrons can leave on this o'clock car and be sure of transportation to the shore. This service will be of very great conven- fence to those who have already moved to their summer homes along the Cosey Beach or Mansfields Grove shore.
 During the past winter extensive inn provements have been made along this line and there is now double track the entire distance to the shore. This spring tracks were laid on a fill across the salt meadows below the Short Beach station, and this will greatly fa- cilitate the movement of cars during the rush of the summer season

Grand Opera House.

] A play that appeals to all the finer feelings, draws out the sympathy of an audience and seems to hold them spell-bound from start to finish, is a pinnacle to which all playwrights aspire. This is the character of the play which was produced at the Grand opera house last evening, dramatiza- tion of Mrs. Henry Woods novel, East Lynne" produced by one of the best companies that has ever rendered this most popular play. To pick out any one member as an object of special commendation would be unfair, for they were all excellent. The stage presence and especially the magnificent voice of , Harry Burkhardt deserves an extra word as they were refreshingly out of the ordinary. The New York Press of Sunday, May 4, 1902, includes MT. Burk- hardt as one of the six handsomest men on the stage Miss Ida Lewis, who plays Lady Isabel' and Madame Vine" is an emotional actress of ex- ceptional ability. Miss Sarah White tord young, handsome and clever, plays Barbara Hare in most artistic manner. Miss Mollie Revel as Cor nelia Carlyle was excellent Miss Flor ence Horsfall played Joyce in an un- usually acceptable manner. Gus Stryker in the thanhless part of Sir Francis Levison was all that could be desired. J. J. Fitzsimmons, F. J. Ma roney, Calvin Tibbetts and, in fact the entire company were far above the av- craze travelling combination. A mati- and ,,a tn iol,t concludes the engagement, which will be doubtless witnessed by large audi ences.
 Weary Willie" one of the principal characters in "The Convict's Daugh- ter sensational scenic melodrama to be presented at the Grand Opera House tomorrow, Friday and Saturday nights, Is undoubtedly the most unique stage individuality found in theatrical his tory. He is hobo" hero, not the typ 1cal tramp of star truck riding fame. He is an educated, philosophical and cynical, magnanimous, lf-sacrificing, loyal, and his heart contains the metal of man under all circumstances His life teaches a wholesome moral lesson. The climax of the play comes when d uyilS IudIl cUIIGSSeS tIldl HS COllHllleu the crime which Willie has been suffer- ing for, and bequeaths to him valua ble mine and other property, making him rich and happy. Then his time for vengeance on the venomous villain comes, but it is tempered with mercy, also charity for ruined banker, Alto gether it is a rare stage character and one that possesses extraordinary inter- est to every student of human nature, | and particularly theater-goers, There | will be the usual matinee on Saturday. |
 At the Grand Opera House next Mon | day night will be seen one of New | York's greatest productions, Under | Two Flags" The management of the | Grand is to be congratulated on secur- | ing this well known attraction. The | cast presenting the drama has such | well known people as Florence St. | Leonard. Frances Dallas, Madeline | Desmond, Jessie West Ernest Howard Carl Stockdale. Walter B. Woodall, | Harry Barker, J. c. Cooms, Harry Hicks, Thomas Meek, Samuel Colt, w. H. Wesley, R. A. Werner and many oth- ITS. The play will also be presented next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with matinee Wednesday

DIAMONDS AND GOALS.

Here is diamond, here is a piece of charcoal. Both carbon; yet between them stands the mightiest of magicians
 Mature. The food on your table, and your own body; elementally the same; vet between the two stands the diges tion, the arbiter of growth or decline, life or death. We cannot make dia- mond; we cannot make flesh, blood and bone. No. But by means of Mother SeigePs Curative Syrup we can enable the stomach to digest food which would otherwise ferment and poison the sys tenn. In all forms of dyspepsia and incipient consumption, with weakness, loss of flesh, thin blood, nervous pro- stration, Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup is the successful remedy. Taken with food 1t relieves at once. It nourishes, and assists nature to nourish. Any druggist can supply it, Read what your say:
 Having suffered many years from and stomach trouble. I was induced thirteen years ago to take Mother Seigers Curative Syrup and was so much benefited that I have never been without it in my family since. My sister used it in England for ten years before that time" J. H. G. Durant, New Haven, Conn, April IS, 1902.
 Was visiting in England five years ago and my system was run. down. Had a miserable, tired, worn-out feeling all the time My friends told me of the wonderful curative powers of Saigel's Syrup and advised me to try it. Took four bottles and felt better than I had for years, Would highly rec ,mmend it to any one feeling as I did. think Mother Seigels Syrup splendid medi- cine" Mrs. w.

MOROCCO ROIrNn :,

Morocco Bound" typical English musical comedy was given with sue cessful dash and spirit at the Hyperion last night by A. H. Chamberlyn's com pany. The piece has good music, but some of the lines and situations are a trife too English. In Edith Bra dford the new prima donna. Mr. Chambarlvr has a find, for she is a strikingly beau tiful girl of a dark, aristocratic type with splendid voice and much grace and skill in acting and dancing, Her song My Hindoo Belle" was encored again and again. c, Lovatt Fraser, Philip Branson and Templar Saxe were all good, and the chorus exceled in quality, if not in quantity.
 This company will be seen at the Pa k City theater, Bridgeport, OH Saturday, and night.
