stirring cliuaxes, so a rare dramatic
treat may be expected tonight when S.
Miller Kent will present this brilliant
play at the Crawford theatre. The scenes
are all laid in Colorado and the char
acters are interestingly diversified. There
is no lack of the comic element, and
brilliant flashes of wit iluraine the dia-
logue, while the strong dramatic scenes
hold the audience spellbOund and .all for
acting of a high order. The excellent COM
pany that surrounds Mr.. Kent may be
relied upon for splendid support AM the
clever. young star was never better suited
to a character than he IS TO the role Of
Teddy North, the gentleman cowboy. De
spite the fact that the hero is Harvard
graduate, a man of culture and polish,
dressing in the heighth Of eastern

ana daring not ordinarily expected TO be
found in such setting, and the rough
plainsnen all swear by him. rallying

the judge and jury, and the arguments
put forward, by turn humorous and dra-
matte. finally convince the rest Of his in
nocence. No more striking scene or sue
cession Of exciting incidents has been seen
on the stage in years. and the element Of
interest IS kept up to the very last

THE SLAUGHTERlNG OF CATTLE
QUITE AN INDUSTRY IN THIS STATE

The process OF converting live stock
into food for human consumption is an
industry that directly and indirectly,
furnishes employment to = considerable
number of Delawareans. and sustenance
TO all. The Census Office recognizes
two classihcations OF this process-one,
slaughtering, wholesale, not including
meat packing, which involves the prep
aration Of fresh meats; the other,
slaughtering and meat packing, whole
sale. which comprehends the packing
of meat and the production Of the vari-
.ous other animal products and by
products
The table dealing with combined
slaughtering and meat packing shows
that there were four establishments
engaged in the work in 1900 The
capital invested was S234,42O There
were twenty-five officers employed at
salaries aggregating S13,6lO, and thirty
seven employees who earned $20,39S.

tracts for unwarranted expenditure,

has been expressed again and again.
The star wishes to make the city so
licitor responsible for all litigation be-
tween the various departments OF our
city government. II says: when
suck differences occur the only proper
course is to submit the question in dis
pute to the city solicitor. and abide by
his decision Certainly but suppose
they refuse to abide by It, is the city
solicitor at fault? Is he TO be held re-
sponsible for compelling his decisions
10 be accepted? AS an example, the
fight between the Water Commission
and Council may be instanced. The de-
partments in that case not only re-
fused to accept the city solicitors opin-
ion. but refused to submit to the de-
cision of the Superior Court Whose

'I would much rather work for a
family in Tatescircumstances than
for a rich family" confided a parlor
maid. "In a house where there are
three servapts one gets much better
treatment tlfan'in one where there are
a dozen. Do you know what you eat in
a great big millionaire establishment?
Why, corned, beef and cabbage, chuck
roast, beans and potatoes, foods that
are good filters and for dessert you
get boiled rice and for treat Waldorf
Astoria pudding. Don't you know what
Waldorf-Asboria pudding is? That is
bread pudding. In Il smaller house,
where the servants don't number more
than two or three. you get ice cream,
chicken, rib roasts, fresh vegetables
and Strawberries. You eat, you see, ex-
actly the same fare that your master
does. But in the big place. where the
servants number a dozen ana where
very expensive foods are served every

PRESIDENT BANISHES THEMISTOCLES
FROM THE SENATORIAL DISCUSSION;
"A rIan Tells the Evening Journal Only True Story of
the Conversation Which Took Place Between
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Byrne

William Michael Byrne took dinner
with the President the other day, anC
we presume our many readers are
anxious to know what was said at that
interesting meeting. The Evening
Journal is the only paper which has
been aDle to secure an accurate report
Of tho conversation, and it is with a
feeling Of pride that we publish it.
Like the Wilmington sun, we refuse
to divulge the source of our informa-
ton, but content ourselves 10y saying
that "a man told us"
After the soup had been swallowed,
according to our veracious and anony-
nous informant. the President leaned
back in his chair and motioned for
Mr. Byrne to open up.
This the erudite District Attorney
did in these immortal words:

That town life is the worst possible

history. Nearly all of the great men
OF the world have come from the farm.
The reason is quite plain. The country

wasn't Colonel DuPont's endorsement
necessary, and didn't he give it?"
MI Byrne-'Yes, but there were ex-

The President-(aside) for the
Colonel Now, Mr.. Byrne, haven't
you opposed the election Of Addicks on
the ground of principle. Haven't you
fought him on the stump and through
the press?"
Mr. Byrne-"O, Mr.. President, there
are times when
The Answer my ques-
! tion, please"
Mr.. Byrne-.Yes, but
The President-"But you felt that
you were whipped. Many another man
has had the same experience"
Mr.. Byrne-"I thought 1t was ex-
pedient."
The President-"Yes, Benedict Ar
mold had advanced ideas of expediency
and there are others, it seems. Let's
talk about something else. You are
going to renominate Congressman
Ball, l presume"
Mr. Byrne-"Well, possibly. 1t de-
pends upon who are chosen as sena-
tors"
The President-'Oh, / seel You
have several cards up your sleeve. You
are urging the election OF Addlcks and
DUPONT for the Senate. You know the
Colonel won't accept. That leaves a
place that might be filled-well, say
by you. If by any mischance your
calculation fails, you would accept the
congressional nomination. Is that it?''
Mr.. Byrne-" Exactly, but you know
the people"
The President Exactly, that is a
good word. Excuse me Mr.. Byrne, but
there is a delegation awaiting me. You
have given me a great deal OF informa-
ton. Oh, by the way, you need not
wire me that news about ThemistOcles;
that occurred some time ago. Good
day"
And Mr.. Byrne retired and had him
self interviewed by sixteen reporters
the same afternoon.

thrown away. He offered to purchase
these delcacies: but though he got
the goods, the sturdy farmer scorned
his profrered gold" Not long after he
observed as he walked through the vii

eyes and was followed by a wondering
