Not Necessary to do so in

Many Candidates,

Former Congressman l.. Irving
Handy, of Newark, is making an ac-
tive canvass. Powerful influences
are being brought to bear against Mr..
Handy. The intention Of the Demo.'
cratic leaders being to give the Con-
gresslonal nomination to Sussex
, County, if possible. In event Of the
Democrats controlling the LegSla.
ture. the Two Sen tors would be chos-
en- from New Castle aud Kent Coun.
ties, and with SUSSEX having the Con-
gresham. an equitable distribution
Of the honors would be made.
Andrew J. Lynch, Of Georgetown,
who announced his candidacy few
days ago, is said to be leading ia the
fight for selection BY the SUSSEX
County caucus. Edward D. Hearne,
of Georgetown. has entered the con-
test, while Charles McEec, Of the
same town. Is an aspiraut, but is said
to be looking forward to gubcrna.
torial honors two years hence.
In Kent County Alexander NJ.
Daily, who was defeated two years
ago and John F. Salisbury, who is
known as the pioneer free silver
Democrat of Delaware, are in the
congressional fight.
Many Of the delegates to the Union
Republican convention OF Tuesday
are dubious as to whether j. Ed
ward Addicks really ,yearned for
Republican success when he forced
the nomination of Byrne for Con-
gress upon the New Castle County
caucus. Several delegates quest ion
ed Mr.. Addicks as to whether Dis
trict Attorney Byrne would prove
a stronger candidate than Il straight
out Union Republican and Mr.. Ad-
dicks is quoted as saying in reply:
IF we had possibility of winning
this time, Iwould nominate Union
but it is better to lead a
rsnvert to the slaughter than one
Of our own men,"

MET AT
DEATHBED.

Philadelphia, Sept. 5-Two sisters
who had not met for 20 years were
reunited in this city yesterday, q
few seconds before one of them
died. .
Death gave them only bare op-
portunity to break the silence Of a
decade. Then it parted them again.
But that simple greeting, coming
as it did, when she felt herself on
the verge of the grave, made the
death of Ella Gaytens a happy one.
Some days ago when first stricken
with illness and taken to the hospi-
tai in which she died hope was held
for her recovery. At that time she
said nothing of her sister, but when
she became convinced that she must
die, she implored the doctors and
nurses to make it possible for her
to see her lost relative once more
before the end came.
After considerable searching, the
sister, Mrs. Harry Higgins, was
found at Oak HILL near Chester.
Little time remained for the re-
union. Ella was fast nearing death.
As quickly rs horses would carry
her, however, Mrs. Higgins travel
ell to the hospital. As she quickly
made her way to the death bad she
saw that death was but moment
id the distance.
"Ella'!" she cried, as she put her
arms around the dying woman.
"Sister?" gasped the other.
'Oh, where have you been all
these years2' Mrs. Higgins asked.
She's dead now" interjec ted
nurse.
So the mysterious absence of her
sister will always be unsolved to
Mrs. Higgins.
Twenty years ago Ella Gaytens,
then a pretty girl, lived in Kelly
vile, not far from this city. One
day she disappeared and nothing
was heard from her or from that
day until yesterday, when Mrs.
Higgins was called to witness her
death.
