The Acting Mayor is in re-
ceipt of letter from 5. b.
Person of Stephensville, Tex,
stating that he has a sword
which was worn bv General
Andrew Jackson during the
War OF 1912. After the battle
of New Orleans General Jack
son presented it to Captain
Robert Fenuer for bravery dis
played during the battle. Cap
tain Fenner, Mr.. Person writes,
had Il brother, or first cousin,
who was a resident OF New
Orleans, and whose name was
Doctor Erasmus Fenuer, a
practicing physician. Mr.. Per
son further writes that he has
been advised that there is at
present d family bearing the
name of Fenner in this city. II
so, they might be interested,
he thinks, IN obtaining posses
sion of this interesting relic.
The Doctar Erasmus Fenner re
ferred to in Mr., Persons letter

When interviewed MIR. Small
said: Il was drunk. | have

What excuse could the man
offer. had he been so inclined?
Every incentive that could in.
luence Il man to keep sober
was his. Bitter experience had
taught him the effect of diSSapl

He threw discretion to the

But the statement is not true.
Some Of the most forCeful MOI

The Worlds Greatest Geographic
Feature.

The greatest by far among
great geographic features is the
Pacific basin. II all the cont.
nents and islands forming the
face of the earth were joined in
one great continent, it's extent
would scarce equal that of the
great ocean and if the mass of
all the lands of the globe above
sea level were poured into the
Pacific barely more than an
eighth OF the basin would be
filled. Three .fourths of our
world surface is water; a full
third Of this vast eXpanse, or a
quarter Of the superticies of the
planet, is that Of the great
ocean, while it's abysses are of
such depth that a full half of
the water of the earth is gath
cred into its basin. In every
view the Pacific is vast, so vast
as to tax if not TO outpass our
powers of contemplation Ma.

THE S. P. G. G.
Communicated

Communicated.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children resumed its regu-
lar monthly meetings on Tuesday
week. Throughout the summer months
these meetings we're omitted, but, ex-
cept for the time spent in vacation,
the special agent never ceased his
activities. The long and detailed list
of complaints which was submitted to
the society on Tuesday, possessed more
narrowing details than have ever on
any similar occasion been narrated.
Our newspapers have recently given
more space than usual to the inyesti-
cations and findings of the society.
and very lately an editorial utterance
commencing its work was noticed. The
trend of sentiment seems to be in the
direction Of a better understanding of

contrary.
An examination of the records in the
office of the S. P. G. G. would show
an almost infinite variety in the cases
that come up for investigation and for
remedy. More generally than ever
before, it seemed borne to the notice
of the board of managers that drunken
ness on the part of one or both parents
was the prime factor in producing first,
discord, then, inattention to, and, in
several instances, entire abandonment
of, parental duties.
The future state will be made, in
part, of these embryonic citizens whom
the society is now rescuing from abodes
of evil and want. Every instinct of
patriotism, to say nothing of every i'm
pulse Of humanity, demands that the
children of the State shall be saved for
the sake of the State.
Legislative aid alone is not sufficient
| to enable this society to prosecute its
work throughout the length and breadth
| of Delaware. Comparatively speaking,
the membership list is small one, too
small, indeed, to represent perfectly
the interest which this city and State
must take in the work of this society.
This interest can be expressed and the
giver thereof allied actively with his
society, upon the payment annually
of 80, and it is hoped that many will,
without further solicitation, thus ex-
press themselves.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. Ia. The
steamship Newport, from Panama,
brings particulars of the recent erup-
tion of Mount Santa Maria, in Guate.
mala.
According to the officers of the New
port, the dstruction of life and prop.
erty has been immense. The necessity
for relief ships is urgent. The coffee
plantations in the districts of Costs
Cuca, Chuva, Reforma, Palmer, Costa
Grande and Kolhutz have been buried
seven feet deep in volcanic ashes and
debris. Thousands of cattle have been
destroyed.
When the Newport was at Cham
perico, the officers found the people of
that port panic-strioBen. The steam
ship Acapulco, bound south, arrived at
Champerico while the Newport was
there. and carried to San Jose de
Guatemala all the passengers that could
crowd aboard. Details from the scene
of the greatest damage were hard to
get. Kok, IIagamann & Go. offered
$1,000 to any person who would go to
their Miramar plantation, in Costa
Cuca, and bring them news of condi-
tions there. When the steamship New
port sailed, this offer was still stand
ing, no one having been found who
dared to go into the ash-cDyered in
terror.
President Cabrera of Guatemala has
resorted to the most stringent means to
prevent particulars of the extent of the
damage reaching the outside world,
Cable messages are strictly censored, and
the people most interested in the
afflicted districts are finding the
greatest difficulty in getting the most
meagre reports.

Correspondence New York Evening Post.
Washington, Nov. 13. The restora-
tion, by Presidential appointment, of
William Michael Byrne OF Delaware to
his former position of United States
district attorney has stirred up the
political gossips here as nothing else
has in a long while. The friends of
Addicks are claiming it as evidence of
a revolution in the Presidents pro
gramme, which means that their faction
will hereafter be the administration
party in Delaware.
As a matter of fact, there is no
revolution, but only revelation. The
Presidents policy is unchanged, and
the Byrne appointment Is only mani
festation of ii. Mr.. Roosevelt on sue
ceedilg to the Presidency laid down
one rule which has been repeatedly set
forth in these dispatches, namely, that
he would have nothing to do with
factional disputes within any Republi-
can organization, but would recognize
as the party's spokesman whomeyer a
majority of local party organization
itself put forward as such.
In pursuance of this rule he has con-
suited with Platt in New York and
Quay in Pennsylvania, and other
"bosses" elsewhere. His answer to all
protests has been uniform. that if the
rank and file of the party did not wish
a certain man for it's leader, it was
their business and not his to throw
such man down and put up somebody
else.
In the present instance, an analysis
of the Delaware returns of last week is
understood to have astonished the Ad-
ministration by its showing that the
Addicks element cast 80 per cent more
votes than the anti-Addicks element.
This, it is argued, puts Addicks on a
like footing with Platt and Quay, and,
whether the President likes hun per-
sonally, admires his character, or ap-
proves his course, or not, he will be
consulted, beyond doubt, hereafter, on
matters affecting party control in Della
ware. If the anti-Addicks element is
able to obtain the mastery at home,
Adoicks will be thrown down as readily
as he has been lifted IN,

HE MAY Be TAUGHT A LESSON.

New York Evening Post.
If President Roosevelt thinks that he
can break the Senatorial deadlock in
Delaware by going over to Addicks, he
is likely to be taught very valuable
lesson. We are glad to learn that there
is every prospect of the anti-Addicks
Republicans sticking to their guns
without regard to the Presidents
amazing action. Some of them held
out two years ago despite the blandish-
ments OF Mckinley and his suggestions
of compromise. The price of a surren-
der, they explained, was ''entirely too
high" and that price-the success of
Addicks-still confronts them. 1t is
useless to talk OF Delaware's loss
through the lack of representation in
the Senate, or of the bad example she
sets toward other States by failure to
elect Senators. These are mere trifies
compared to the principle for which the
anti Addicks men are contending. The
honor of the State is in their hands.
even if Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to admit
it; and it is infinitely better that the
present deadlock should continue in
definitely than that the gasman should
triumph, and with him constituencies
political expediency. The men who
are fighting the battle for Delaware are
patriots of the highest type, of whom
every right-minded American is proud,
They should have all possible support
in their righteous determination.

NO PROFESSIONAL BURGLARS HERE.

That is the Opinion of Chief of Police
Black, Who Thinks There is Unnecessary
Alarm.
Although many women are alarmed
over the recent visitations from burg
lars, Chief of Police Black says he
thinks the commotion is unnecessary.
He believes the burglars who visited
Wilmington two weeks ago have gone
and the thefts reported since are proba-
bly, the work of amateurs. "As
matter of fact, /" the chief says, there
have been only two or three small rob-
berries in the past two weeks. Tho pro-
fessionals we're here the night before
Hallows 'en and Halloween night, but
l believe they got out immediately.
The chief says as a result of The
alarm the telephones are kept busy in
forming headquarters of the presence of
strangers in different localities and in
nine cases out of 10 the people reported
as being suspicious are citizens who
are walking about on legitimate busi-
ness.
