town south of this place, has the distinc-
ton OF repelling all manufactures The
town is on the line between Delaware
and Maryland, Shout evenly divided in
both States. and is the terminus OF the
Philadelphia, Wilmington. and Baltimore
Railroad. In 1893 almost the entire town
was destroyed by fire Il was rebuilt and
was considered one OF the pretuest towns
on the lower peninsula. LAST October al
most all that part Of the town lying in
Delaware was again burned.
Immediately after the FIRE a movement
was started to discourage the rebuilding
Of burned factories. This was resisted
by many, and as a result part Of the
town commissioners resigned The cleo
ton of their successors on Saturday was
one Of the most bitter elections ever held
IN the town The result was that the an
mandatory faction won and now no
mills are to be allowed within the town
limits. The beaten side, however, in
tends TO appeal TO the courts.
The election has caused much bitter
feeling among men who were political
associates for years. The Hon. W L.
Sirman, former Speaker Of the Delaware
House of Representatives, who has al
ready had three mills burned, and was
preparing TO erect the fourth, Is dis
gusted with the towns action.

verse 10 the British forces in South Az
RIGA can be best appreciated when It is
realized that Lieutenant General Lord
Methuen-his fun name is Paul Sanford
Methuen. third Baron Methuen-is, next
TO Lord Kitchener. the most prominent
British general in South Africa
Were il not that Kitchener is specially
designated as commander-in-chief in
South Africa he would be outranked by
Methuen, who is his senior as lieutenant
general. The war was nearly three
months Old vixen Kitchener arrived on
the scene as major general and chief OF
stan to Lord Roberts. Methuen was then
a lieutenant general and outranked Kitch-
ener until the Iatter's appointment as
commander-in-chief in November. 1901
Methuen has been prominent in the war
from the beginning and except General
French, whom he considerably Outrauks.

command throughout the conflict. He is
