Last week, in New
York. Mr. Ryley and
some friends passed
a hall where a spir-
itualistic perform
ance was in progress.
IN a few moments
the Ryley party was
seated we'll down to-
ward the front. The
audience was small,
and after waiting IN
ill long after the ad-
yertised hour for be
ginning. the curtains
were pulled aside and
the show began.
There was the Gus
tomery cabinetwork,
and then, as a eli
max. a large feminine
medium was intro
duced and the man

if any in the audi
ence wished to COM

in the other world,
they were to simply
write the question on
a card, hand it to the
usher, who in turn
would hand ii to the

would forthwith go
into a trance and an

Nearly everyone in
the hall wrote ques-

The Greyhounds fold the RECORD
in This Line,

Three men in carriage, folloWHa
by four dogs, alighted at one 0. inc
road houses just beyond Klngsb1idse
while was resting there last FRIDAY
and proved to be so interesting III
their conversation that | fingered
many minutes beyond my time to us
ten to them and to learn something
that did not know before. When the
dogs took me into their confidence
their owners did the same.
It appeared that they had been Out
In Westchester county, running Inc
dogs and making a record of their per
formances.
There is the fastest animal that
runs on four legs" said one OF the
men, as he pointed at long, slne"y
English greyhound that turned toward
us a countenance fairly beamlng WIN
intelligence. 81 don't mean that par
ticuIar dog" he continued, but 20
mean his variety, and he is not the
slowest member of it by any means.
We nave just been trying him unecr
careful timing, and found that ne
went, when on full gallop, twenty
yards second. That means mile IN
minute and twenty-eight seconds-a
speed that comes very near that OF
carrier pigeon and would leave far be-
hind any quadruped that we know OF.
This is matter that | nave STUD
led and know some. hiag about. Tnere
are few thoroughbred horses than can
exceed nineteen yards a seooni, ana
uave known greyhounds to better that
py four yards. Fox-hounds have
record of four miles in six and nall
minutes, or nearly eighteen yards
second. .Thatis fast going, and AS
good as the most rapid of the hare
family can do.
This speed is to some extent inner
ited from away back, for have been
INFORMED that wolves can run all light
at the rate of mile in three minutes
hansen says that Siberian dogs can
travel forty-fve miles on the ice IN
rge hours.
''This is fast going, but these grey
hounds hold the record"

The Hospitable Hostess.

There can certainly be little ques'
ton that never was hospitality more
freely exercised than now. hosplta!lIy
comes quite naturally to some' a2o
the ease with which they dispense IL
adds to it's charm. Such hostesses
seem to guess the slightest wishes OF
their guests instinctively: they 1ore-
stall their wants, do not force them
to do things they evidently 40 not
wish, and have the tact to leave them
to follow their own devices. nos
less by her charm of manner and goou
sense prevents any animosity between
the guests; she renders their visits
agreeable by her charming conversa'
ton. She stimulates a natural free
dom of manner without constralnt IN
those around her In all these little
points lies her power. BY atfablllty
'she rules She suggests, yet firmly
leads. If, on the other hand, hostess
has all laid down in her house by
matter-of- fact rule, and allows ner
guests no freedom of action. however
hospitable she may be, all hangs fire
still more SO if the hostess looks
cross or worried or annoyed, not ex-
ercising her powers of self-restra1nr.
and showing by her manner that she
is bored with the whole thing. IRIS
naturally reacts on the guests, who on
their side are equally bored.

nothing for individuality and that

Persons who ascend the Alps have
long been accustomed to pluck ard
prlrg home with them as memorials OF
them, visit sprigs and even roots OF
that humble yet coveted flower, the
edelweiss, and the result is that in
some places on the mountains hardly
m edelweiss is now to be found.
Austrian botanists, and especially
those living near the Alps, are much
annoyed at the wholesale manner IN
which tt csc flowers have been carried
off by foreigners, and recently they re-
uuested the government to take some
action, as they claimed that otherwise
lot an edelweiss would be left on the
Alps. The government paid immediate
attention to this request, and plan
for saving the edelweiss which will
very probably be adopted isanow being
discussed by the Diet OF Lower Aus
tria. M
If 1t becomes law any one In whose
possession one of these flowers Is
found will be heavily fined, and IT the
fine is not paid will have to spend sew
eral days in prison. Any botansst
who desires to obtain an edelweiss for
his collection of plants will be obliged
to apply for formal permit. to the
proper authorities, and if he promises
not to abuse the privileges it will be
granted to him.
No such law. it is said. would ever
be passed if foreign tourists had not
destroyed thousands of flowers by
ruthlessly tearing them UP by the
roots.

The mammoth schooner Thomas w.

Three tugs have been working with her
for more than twenty-fOur hours, but
they have not been successful in clear
ing her, although they moved her some
distance yesterday. If it is not gotten
of this afternoon on high tide, about
O'Clock, it will be necessary to lighter
her. The wind is favorable for a big
tide, and the boat may be gotten away.
The delay will cause much inconven-
ience to Boston manufacturers, as
they were depending upon her arrival
to supply them with coal, she being
loaded with the largest amount ever
carried upon one ship.
It is not thought the boat will be in

CAME PLENTIFUL
IN THIS STATE
Was Stocked Two Years Ago
and Benefit Is ClearlyM
Shown This Season
RABBITS AND QUAIL NUMEROUS
Best Cunning Will be m the Lower
Counties---Size Of Birds Greatly
Improved by lmportation

The cunning season. for quail and
rabbits will open November 10, and the
outlook for the season is better than
for several years.
Two years ago the State was stocked
by the Delaware Game Protective As-I
ISOLATION and its benefit will be clearly
shown this season.
Those who are in a position to know
say the game, particularly I'm the two
lower counties of the State is very
plentiful
The blizzard of 1898 played sad havoc
with the rabbits and quail killing al
most all I'm the State, but two years
later the association liberated a large
number Of quail, which they secured
from Wisconsin and Tennessee. The
birds brought here were larger than
the native partridge, which is now al
most extinct in Delaware. and they
have multiplied until now they can DO
found in large quantities in all parts
OF the State.
1t requires a license costing s. for
non-resident sportsmen TO shoot game
within the borders OF Delaware. This
applies to the first year, and each sub
sequent year the price Is fixed at 81.
Delaware was one Of the first States
in the union to adopt this law, which
has been i'm force for two years, but
now several other States have passed
similar laws.
The Delaware Game Protective AS
sOciation was responsible for its adop-
ton, claiming the State was stocked
fcr the benefit OF Delaware gunners
many Of whom contributed largely to
the fund which made the bringing OF
the quail to the State possible.
Last year the Legislature passed an
Ordinance prohibiting the shipping oi
ducks out OF the State. This law has
been in effect regarding quail and rab-
bits for some years. but the ducks wer,
allowed to- go until many men made 4
lpractice Of slaughtering them by the
Wholesale for market, when the pro
ihibitory law was passed.
The law for shooting ducks in Mary
land is out on November !, and many
Wilmington sportsmen will go TO thu
Susquehanna fats on that day Every
. indication points to a large amounl
of canvass backs this season, and every
thing considered, the sportsman wh'
is fond of killing game will have an ex
cellent opportunity in Delaware thiI
year.
The rabbits are so plentiful in Sus
sex that farmers were badly troubled
with them destroying their crops thii
year, and any day one can drive alonl
a country road and see several Of th'
spry little "cctton tails" which aifor'
such good sport and excellent eating.

FOOTBALL IN PARK
Crowd of People Watch Boys Practice
at Eighteenth and Washington

After the schools have closed in the
afternoon one Of the most interesting
spots in the city is the tract of park
land at Eighteenth and Washington
streets. 1t is one of the few public play
grounds in the city, and boys, large and
small. take advantage of It. Now that
the football season is on, several foot
ball teams gather there every afternoon
to practice. The small boys arrive
first, and they are followed by the
larger ones. The former have to give
the big boys the better part Of the
grounds.
The field is not as level as it should
be, and several people have suggested
that the Park Commission lay out bet
ter grounds in some other part Of the
park, where the grounds would be suit
able to the purpose to which they are
put, and where there would be more
room. II this were done many Of the
amateur teams would not be put to the
expense of hiring enclosed grounds.
Every afternoon crowds OF people
wacth the boys at play.

PRICE OF COAL
WILL SOON DROP
Large Supply Expected Next
Week-Price Will Be Nor
NAL Within a Month

Coal will be selling in Wilmington
within month from $3.50 to 81 ton.
The operators are charging fifty cents
addition at the mines, thus making it
more costly.
In speaking of the situation today a
member of the Chares Warmer Com
pany's staff said: I'VE expect plenty
of coal the first of next week, and the
people of Wilmington will be served
at as low a price as we can afford to
sell 1t. With each reduction i'm its price
at the mines they will receive it just
that much lower. it will not be more
than a month before the price will be
reduced to $3.50 or 81 per ton, we
