AMEnIcA,s suPREMACY

According TO the London Daily Mail
Year Book. the United States in wealth
is the premier of the nations of the
earth. This compilation is regarded
as especially reliable. and therefore
some Of it's estimates are interesting
to us. Il places the aggregate wealth
of the United States at sS1, ,750, 600 600,
a very snug little sum, and almost un-
thinkable. The United Kingdom, on
the other hand. according to this esti-
mate. holds property to the value Of
only $50 .O3O, 100000 Her place is next
to us. with France, Germany and Rus
sia following.
Another fact is significant; while
our wealth is much greater than that
OF either Of the nations named, our
total indebtedness is the least We
owe something over billion. while
Germany owes more than three bill
lions. and the United Kingdom three
billions and a-half This in itself, is
a very satisfactory showing, but there
is further cause for qualification in the
fact that we have suddenly become the
greatest seller in the markets Of the
world.
We are the greatest grain producing
nation. and no two of our competitors
can equal our yield. We produce 72O.-
100000 bushels, Russia, 3S6,OO0,0OO- It
is shown that we are the worlds great
est producer OF iron and steel. The one
fact to our discredit and disadvantage
is that we allow nearly all our vast ex-
ports and imports to be transported in
foreign bottoms.

WHICH ROUTE9

The canal bill. which passed the
House with only two dissenting votes
probably will have It's real considera-
tion in the Senate. The proposition to
substitute the Panama for the Mica
ragua route, received scant attention,
and il is thought that It's merits Will
now come up for review. To reject
the latter route because the French
company was dilatory in making a rea-
sonable proposition to this country,
would be craftsmanship Of the peanut
variety. The undertaking is so gi-
gantic. and will mean so much to flu
ture generations that The best route
should be chosen regardless Of sub
sidiary considerations.
Upon the main proposition of bui.d-
ing canal there is substantial una
nimity. both in and out Of Congress.
The platforms Of the two great parties
are pledged to the measure. and with
that ont of the way, the next question
is the route. This cannot be decided
off-hand, but with the expert opinion
of the Canal Commission. and with the
proDodtlon Of the French holders In
hand, a conclusion should be reached
without great difficulty.
II appears that the Nicaragua route
offers certain engineering problems
that are novel and almost problemati-
cal. while the Panama route simply re-
uuires the excavation of immense
quantities OF earth II is said that il
is the only route that offers the posi-
bilitv Of an ultimate tide-level canal

A COUPLE OF THE INTERESTING
FOLK LORE TALES OF OLD SUSSEX

There may be places that are richer
in legendary lore than Delaware, yet
there are few folk lore stories of deeper
interest than those of "Old Sussex, -
tae place where corn, peaches, apple
jack and peach brandy. to say nothing
of brave men and handsome women,
grow.
George Alfred Townsend, otherwise
known to the world of literature as
Cath" has embodied many of these
tales in the famous story Of THE En-
tailed Hat" and especially that of
Patty Cannon, the notorious slave
dealer. Everybody knows that the
wicked Patty's house was directly on
the State line between Delaware and
Maryland. with one room on the Mary
land side and another on the Delaware
side
This gave her vantage which in
war parlance would be termed i'm
pregnable; for. after she had commit
ted some particularly fiendish crime
which set the officials OF the law in
hot pursuit of her she would take ref
uge in either one or the other of these
rooms and defy the officers. We're
they Maryland men, she would HE
herself away in safety in the Delaware
room and vice versa. 1t is strange that
officials of both States did not make. a
concerted movement upon her long he
fore they did but it seems that they
did not. and so she continued her dep
relations until a particularly atrocious
crime brought about her undOing.
OF course all this is familiar TO most
Delawareans but not everybody, es-
pecially Wilmington people, know that
Patty Cannon was incarcerated in the
old Georgetown Jail for many months
prior to her death She was sentenced
to be hanged, but in some way OBJ
tanned poison with which she end ed
her ill-spent life.
Her body was buried in the old jail
yard there. and generation after gem
Grafton of Georgetown children pass
the corner in Race street with bated
breath. A few of the bolder ones stop
and shout. Patty Cannon, Patty Can
non. what are YOU doing there?"
Sometimes they stop and wait in
breathless silence for her to answer
nothing" as according to the legend
Evening journal., 1902-01-11

she is supposed to do, and as a matter
OF fact. she does say nothing.
Lewes. which is the Oldest town in
Sussex county. is also the quaintest.
Everybody knows what a plucky de-
fense the people made with one lone
cannon when the British fired upon
the town during the Revolution, and
frightened off the enemy after they
had fired upon the town and killed-a
hen. But these were Tories there too,
and among the most ardent advocates
of King George were the Rowlands
It was beautiful Sarah Rowland. the
Tory belle. who almost prevented
Caesar Rodney from taking his famous
ride Rodney. who was an extremely
homely man, who suffered with cancer
of the face was susceptible to femi-
nine charms. particularly those of the
famous Lewes beauty. Just before the
holding of the important Congress in
Philadelphia, he made a visit to Miss
Rowland. So enamoured was he of her
that he paid but little heed to the fight
of time. but occasionally would ask
her about the arrival of letters. Hav-
ing some inkling of the true state of
eAhtAAhs AhN AclAA A1elA al hNHl Aht ANlAIAE
from him. While serving him at din
ner one day. a patriotic little maid
of the Rowland family told the amor
GUS Rodney of the suppressed letters.
With all his patriotism fired, he de-
manded and received them from the
Tory belle. and despite her blandish-
ments started on his remarkable ride
the result of which all know, and
which was almost as famous as that
of Paul Revere
TIE Tory father of Sarah Rowland
was buried in a corner of the old Epis-
copal graveyard, and it is said that
his chagrin and disappointment as to
the result of the Revolutionary war
will not allow him to rest quietly in
his grave. On stormy nights, when
BOreas has things all his own way,
then old Rowland is permitted to arise
from his grave and then, his long,
pent-up fury finds outlet in kicking
down that portion of the old wall near
his last earthly resting place The
wall is repaired again and again, but
the Lewes people say that old man
Rowland kicks it down every stormy
night Ellen Orr.
