BLESSED THE WAITER.
Tips " Given by Salvation Army
Leader, Who Is a Vegetarian.

It is said that meat has not passed the
lips of General William Booth for sixty
one years. At the age of u years he
became a vegetarian, and his children
have followed his example. At the
Hotel Baltimore, where the leader of the
Salvation army was a guest during his
recent visit to this city, many stories
anent his gastronomic peculiarities are
told. Every dish ordered had to be
served in accordance with rules pre-
scribed by the general and promulgated
Drowned to a particular shade and
stood on end" to dry; milk had to be
of q certain temperature, and vegeta bles
served in dishes of peculiar patterns.
Prince Dafney, a waiter in the hotel
cafe, was detailed by the management
to look after the inner wants of the gem
eral, and he says the task was the hard
est he has yet undertaken
The general had to have everything

kept me busy planning not to displease
him. His daughter, Consul Booth

the room the private secretary was

his hands over his head and say, Lord,

General Booth invariably uses his own
bed covering. When he entered his bed
chamber his first order was that the
bed be stripped of its costly linen and
wooden covering. The chambermaid
who obeyed the summons could not at
first understand what was expected of
her. The general explained. When she
had performed the task the saver OF
souls raised his hands and solemnly
said, Lord, bless the maid ''-Ex-

ARMY LAW INFRACrloNs

The attitude Of the Administration
towards the reports Of lawlessness on
the part OF American troops in the
Philippines, and the constant charges
of infractions of military discipline, is
not questioned by anyone save those
desiring to make a political issue. Our
people will never believe the mon
strous stories regarding atrocities COM
mitted by our troops; they are Ameri-
can citizens. and their conduct there,
generally speaking, may be measured
by what It is at home. But in any war
and especially in one in which the foe
is less highly civilized than we, there
must often be great provocation to re-
sort to methods Of retaliation for out
RACES perpetrated. We have not for
gotten the charges of cruelty and OF
the violation OF the laws OF civilized
warfare which grew out Of our civil
war. and which even yet are OCCASION
ally repeated. And yet It was between
'N' eNNeAoho VI a. pfOIlt III a. nA6ul9
civilized state.
None OF us understands the condi-
tions our troops have met; few seem
disposed to credit the tales of treach-
cry and horrible cruelties practiced by
certain Of the Philippine soldiery.
Every breath Of scandal involving our
own army is credited, and yet all the
CHASTITY tales OF savagery on the part
OF the FilipinOs, which might be allow
ed as showing a provocation. are dis
credited. There is ample evidence to
show that this war has been conduct
ed on our part with all the humanity
Of which war is capable. There have
been abuses, doubtless, but these have
occurred despite every precaution on
the part Of the officers of the army.
Probably they will always be the re-
grettable incidents Of such conflicts.
We think the self-restraint of our
troops has been remarkable They
have been fighting a foe who was os-
tensibly a peaceful citizen, but who
was ever ready to stab in the dark.
Our soldiers have been exasperated at
knowing that these butchers were re-
ceiving encouragement from this coun-
try. In many instances their COM
rades taken, have been cruelty tor
tured, and put TO death in violation OF
all the rules of war. What wonder
that occasionally under the most try
ing circumstances. individuals have
lost their self-control, and resorted to
form OF retaliation. In most lands
the armies while at the front are sus
tanned, but we have set a new fashion
here.

NEW SPAPER OPINION
Belgian and French Strikes


From the New York Tribune.
The strikes and disorders which are
just now disturbing Belgium and
France are not TO be traced TO the
same source in both countries. Those
In Belgium appear to be political in
character. 1ney had their origin In
socialist agltations and have possibly
involved socialist plots against tho life
of the King. But others than social.
lists have been drawn into the move
ment. There is a strong anti-clerical
sentiment in Belgium, as in Spain, and
there Is also a strong Liberal sent-
ment in favor OF a reform of the cleo
toral system. These have been drawn
to a greater or less extent into the
agitation, and the workingmen Of the
country have at the same time been in
cited to organize strikes. The trou-
bles will probably be settled in one
way or another without Intervention
from outside, for while Belgium is a
guaranteed State, supported by the
pledges of other powers, the guarantee
goes so far only as TO make the little
kingdom safe from foreign aggression.
There is not likely to be any meddling
with the domestic affairs of Belgium
unless the latter grow so bad as to
menace THE peace of other countries.
and that is not to be anticipated at this
time.
In France the strikes at Limoges
and elsewhere arose from a dispute
over hours and wages. Two years ago
IT was enacted THAT eleven hours
should make a day until April ] of this
year. after which date ten and half
hours should make a day in all factor
les in which women as well as men
were employed. When April came
around the men expected to get the
same wages for ten and a half hours
work that they had received for eleven
hours. This the employers were not
willing to grant, and hence these
strikes. The nOn-political character
of them must be gratifying to the gov
eminent, which will thus not be in
jured by them in its electoral cam
paign. now at its height That the
political features OF the Belgian
strikes will De brought across the
border into France is not to be appre-
hended. The two cases are radically
different, and will probably be kept en-
tirely separate.

GuILrY on Nor GUILrY2

The agitation in Sussex county over
the murder near Laurel, continues.
The husband of the murdered woman
is locked up, but there appears to be
little evidence to hold him. His friends
and neighbors-those who have known
him for a lifetime-lbelieve in his inno-
oence. There is little to connect him
with the crime and those who have
watched closely his every act since the
crime was discovered say that If he is
guilty he is a most consummate actor.
All the evidence against him appears
TO be of a negative hnd-if he did not
commit the murder. who did? That is
a hard question to answer, but in
finally making up our verdict we shall
require something more tangible.
There is also the strongest presump-
ton that an inoffensive man such as
Collins. who apparently loved his wife
the mother of his little children, could
not have been guilty of the deed. SO
there may be a presumption on either
side.
The officers OF the law probably
could not do otherwise than arrest
Collins; there are certain things which
require explanation, and in such mat
ters the only thing to do is to take into
custody anyone suspected, pending a
full investigation. The habeas corpus
proceedings may reveal something,
and it is to be hoped that Collins may
not have to so through life under n
cloud of suspicion without the ability
of demonstrating his entire innocence.
II he is innocent then his condition is
terrible to contemplate, and II he is
cleared. then he should have the sym
pathy of everyone. If he is guilty
there are no words TO characterize his
oifense
There is every evidence that the de-
tectiyes. under the direction Of the AT
torney-General, are doing all in their
power. There is everything to baffle
them. The only possible solution lay
in making the arrest Of Collins. But
the case must not rest here. No effori
should be spared to run down the
guilty party. We have not forgotten
the Harrington murder, whore a mar
was stricken down in broad daylight
and his assailant never apprehended
If possible persons Of criminal ten
denotes must be made TO see that jus
tice is both swift and sure, 20 the en-,
that the commission of such terribl
deeds may be discouraged.

COLLINS Is WE'LL EDUCATED

Work Of Sunday School CanyasSers

Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover, April 16.-Elmer L. Collins, the
young husband and father arrested and
placed in Georgetown Jail ON suspicion Of
having caused his wife's death near
Laurel, is an educated man, having pass
cd through several courses at the Will
mington Conference Academy, finishing
there in 1890. Collins is known to several
Of the Dover students who attended the
institution at that ime. He is also re
Ihcmbered by Miss Potter. who was the
teacher Of French at that time, and by
Principal Cross. who came in later as a
member Of the faculty. 1t is said that the
unfortunate woman, also, was a student
at the academy, but her name cannot be
found on the registration books that
could be found at the institution yester-
day. Collins is of a highly-esteemed
family. and has relatives who also stud
led mere and are now in high callings.
