He lapsed into inconsistencies after
this and died before an ambulance ar
rived.
Policeman O'Neill, OF the Park station
found Parramore reclining on bench
in the Ramble with broken bottle by
his side. Vigorous shaking and some
! simple remedy aroused him and he gave
his name and address and said he had
taken q quantity Of the acid. o'Neil
asked him his reason, but the man laps
ed into unconsciousness and was dead
when Roosevelt Hospital doctor ar
rived.
Among the papers in his pocket was
found a mileage book on the Seaboard
Air Line issued at Madison, Fla.
The body was taken to the Contra
Park station and word sent to Mrs, Rus

The young man, while well dressed
seemed as though he had been III OF

was not very large, and death, the doc
tors said, would probably not have re-
suited had he not been in weak cOndi'
ton.

ing that II is a question in which every
citizen Of the county Is more or less in
terested, reporter of the New Enter
prise called Tuesday morning OF Mr.. w.
II. Dial, jr., chairman OF the Board Of
County Commissioners, and asked to be
advised Of what, II anything, WIS being

In response to the questions propoun-
ded Mr., Dial stated that be would leave

road building machinery. He said that
for some time past the Board bad been
investigating the methods and cost Of
road construction and that the members
thereof we're all heartily in favor Of
having better roads in this county.
"By the first Of November" said Mr..
Dial, 1--WE expect to begin the work Of
improving the roads of the county, or
course, something may happen to delay
the work, but barring unforeseen con-
tingencies the work will commence
about that time. go to Wilmington

than they are to-day"

Judge PurcelPs record is the best argu-
ment for his reelection He has
proved himself to be capable and hon
est.
Nat K. Hawke, who has been nomin-
ated by the Democrats for county
treasurer, has held the Office of city
recorder for some time. and his
faithful and able discharge of the du-
ties OF that office ought to convince the
people that they would make no mis-
take in promoting him. His honesty
is admitted, and his ability to dis
charge the duties of treasurer will be
readily conceded by every one
The Democratic candidates for SUI
pervisors, Harry A. Drachman and Fred
Ronstadt are industrious, progressive
and capable men. They are taxpay-
ers and will safeguard the interests
of the taxpayers. Their election will
mean better roads, more bridges and
a business-like administration of the
affairs of the county.
The candidate for county school SUI
perintendent, William Angus, has been
tried and found capable C. Barthol-
omy, the candidate for surveyor, is a
capable and reliable engineer. Every
one. of course will vote for Charles
Shibell, and it is admitted that Wiley
E. Tussing and w. S. Bartlett, who
have been named by the Democrats,
are by long odds, the best qualified
candidates for justice of the peace.
Joe Manciet and Jesus Provencio will
make efficient and obliging constables.
Vote the ticket straight. Don't
make a scratch. Every man on it de-
serves the support of every Democrat.
If the Democrats will stand shoulder
to shoulder tomorrow, and do their
whole duty, they can make a clean
sweep.

that at last the duke touched his shoul-

Bach sprang to his feet and followed

to the instrument like one demented.

OPERATING IN fiAWHll.

Senator Burton of Kansas recently
returned from a trip to Hawaii, and
tells painful and almost incredible
story about certain New England
missionaries who have been christian
iZing" the natives
THE Hawaiians," says Senator Bur
ton in an interview, "are in hard
lines just at present Their condi-
ton is the result of work of Boston
missionaries A number of misSiona-
ries have been over there recently and
have given many of the natives certifi-
Gates guaranteed to admit them to
heaven in exchange for their lands. A
number of ignorant natives have been
swindled in this way"
The Kansas statesman is a member
Of the Senatorial investiga+i-
mittee which has been conducting an
inquiry into conditions in Hawaii
Judging by his revelations in regard
to the New England missionaries, the
committee will be able to submit q
highly interesting report to Congress
It is inconceivable that men PROCESSING
to be teachers and exemplars of Chris
tianity would be guilty of practicing
frauds upon the Ignorant natives OF
Hawaii All Boston missionaries are
not, of course. of that class, There
must be many earnest and unselfish
| workers among them.
There are some New Englanders
however, who have such an exalted
opinion of themselves that they NOT
only feel sure of going to heaven, but
are also confident that they can pass
their friends and acquaintances in as
we'll. Perhaps some of these perfect
creatures have been operating in Uncle
Sans Hawaiian territory in the guise
of missionaries.

ECCENTRIC METHODS.
why Alexandra Dumas Did Not SUc~

The Mousquetaire, a Partisan jour
nal founded by Alexandra Dumas,
grew and fioulfshed for short time
and then became extinct. 1t was car
ried on during a brilliant existence
with an astonishing disregard of busi-
ness methods commonly i'll vogue, Its
staff was the largest and most varied
ever known. Persons would walk into
the office, propose working for the pa
per and find themselves at once ac-
cepted.
What will you allow me?" new
man would ask.
Whatever you like, my boy" Du-
mas would return. "By the way" he
would explain to every new aSpirant,
''we must understand one thing:
mean you to be handsomely paid. You
must have 1000 francs a month, and
if you should want months pay in
advance now, don't scruple to ask for
it,"
Everybody was dazzled. and Dumas
himself more than all the rest. No
business enterprise, however, could ex-
list on such a basis, and the journal be-
gan to languish. Then man named
Boule proposed taking the speculation
out of Dumas hands. He offered the
great man 100 francs day, which
meant more than $1,000 year.
Here" said Boule. is checkbook
full of those little tinted leaves you are
SO fond of Every morning you have
only to write your name at the foot of

Dumas loved money. and his face
bcamed with delight But suppose,
said he that some day should want
800 or 400 francsY
We'll, all you have to do is to send
in three or four of yonr checks. Moth

The book lay on the authors desk, a
delightful and ready resource. Did a
creditor call? A slip of paper. and he
was paid. y poor woman was about to
be turned out into the street. A few
more slips. and she was relieved. AT
the end Of the week nothing was left
of the book but the cover. Then Boule

VOTE FOR STATEHOOD.

A vote for j. F. Wilson tomorrow Is
q vote to insure Statehood for Arizona,
Don't make any mistake about this
Don't take any chances. Statehood is
at stake. An agreement has been
reached in the United States Senate
between eleven Republicans and all OF
the Democrats i'll the body to pass the
Omnibus bill next winter. This agree
ment, understanding or compromise,
is based on the three Territories affect
ed maintaining the same political con-
ditions that existed when the agree
ment was reached. This calls for a
Democratic Delegate from Arizona and
Republican Delegates from New Mex
leo and Oklahoma. The Democrats OF
New Mexico and Oklahoma are making
no effort to defeat the Republican can
didates. The Republicans of Arizona
ought to be equally or-seeing and pa
triotic.
1t is admitted that in Arizona State
hood is the paramount issue. Every
thoughtful person admits the advan-
tages that would flow from Statehood
Then don't imperil the pending bill
Take no chances with a great question.
Maintain the conditions that will in
sure the passage of the Omnibus bill
The election of Wilson is essential In
voting for Wilson you will vote to in
sure Statehood.
