Mr. Wolf from thewOman.

child. and together the once happy ram
lily left the Court House. CHER JUS
tice Lore followed closely. He saw the
woman and child in tears. The Iather
was of determined visage. He said
nothing TO the weeping woman.
At Tenth street the man, the woman
and the child halted momentarily.
Then the man placed his left arm about
the shoulder of the girl. burdened with
sorrow. and together they walked along
Tenth street toward King. Without a
parting word to the man, but after inn
printing a farewell kiss on the cheek oi
the little one, the woman walked to the
opposite corner. In vain she tried to
check her tears with her handkerchief
She gazed toward the retreating figures
as they passed beyond King street, and
soon disappeared from view down the
hill leading to French street. Then she
turned and soon disappeared down Mar
ket street
1t was a phase of the stern edict OF

DEMOCRATS IN A MUDDLE
Over Cali for State ConWniicn- ktnt
REGISTRARS Are Qualifying
Special to the Evening JournaI

Dover, July 15.-The Democrats ap-
pear to be in no hurry to get out of
the bole they are in over their State
convention tiascO. The leading Demo-
Icratic paper in the State, the Della
warean, appeared on Saturday publish
ing two calls, one from the State chair
man and another from the county
chairman. for the election OF delegates
to a State convention to be held here
on July 20. in the face of the fact that
it is generally known that no State
convention will be held at that time,
that Sussex county has not yet issued
its call for primaries for the early con-
lvention. and that New Castle county
has plainly said that it does not intend
to do so. There seems to be no pilot
for the bark, whose compass has lost
its bearings. None of the officers or
members of the State Committee has
the power to call another convention,
although it is said that the power has
been delegated to Secretary Charles C.
Clifton. of FELTON, to issue a call for a
special meeting of the State Central
Committee to be held here this week.
The registrars of election or mem
bers of the election boards recently ap-
pointed by Governor HUM have all
qualified or nearly all, and the cleo
ton paraphernalia will soon be in
readiness for the impending battle of
ballots. Governor HUM has stated that
it is not the intention of the State De
lpartment to take advantage of the rigid
law concerning the service of election
registrars. If an appOintee advances
any good reason why ne should not be
lrequUed to serve his State in this ca
lpacity. he will be relieved and another
appointed. Not moro than twenty OF
the entire list have intimated their
dissatisfaction to so serve. It is said
that about a dozen of these win be
allowed to resign their commissions
and that new men will be chosen in
their stead from the lists already sub
mitted by the committees.
