Wilmington Girls Love Story

Anne Virginia Culbertson, in the
July Ladies' Home Journal, tells the
following pathetic love story Of Will
mington girl IN Revolutionary times,
which is Of interest to Whining
tonians, and particularly to the people
of Wilmington:
Mary Vining was a reigning belle Of
the Revolutionary period, and possess
ed all the charms OF youth and beauty
added to the attractions of woman Of
the world. Ready Of wit, brilliant in
conversation captivating in manner
she queened it right royalty in the
most exclusive circles of Wilmington
and Philadelphia In the latter place
she was the toast of the British, and
later OF the French and American, CT
ficers. In richest brocades and laoes,
her bright brown hair rolled high over
a cushion, her fine gray eyes flashing
with mirth or scOrn. a smile on her Iuil
red lips, surrounded by crowd OF ad-
mirers in gold-laced coats Of scarlet
or blue. to whose earnest entreaues
she listens with airy jest or cola mdii-
ference. she looms before the fancy a
veritable Lady Disdain. For addition
had made her spoiled and capricious,
while at heart she was sweet and
womanly. She had whims, one Of
which was never to go afoot, and
another. never to appear at church or
ON the street unveiled. Eminent men
like Jefferson and Lafayette honored
her with their friendship. Her fame
spread to the courts of Europe ana
Marie Antoinette condescended 10 ask
Jefferson If the reports concerning MISS
Winnings beauty were not exaggerated
and was assured that that would be
impossible.
When Ceasar Rodney. her relative,
WAS Governor Of Delaware She pre-
sided at his entertainments. On one
sudh occasion she met General An
thony Wayne. "Mad Anthony, as ne
was called. She stood beneath the blaze
of vaxen lights. a brilliant central
figure. as the brisk, brusque General
bowed low over her white hand. All
eyes were turned to him, for he was
the hero who had lately stormed stony
Point melted thereto by Washington,
who asked, Can you take stony
Point?" stony Point, Your Excel
lencyi I'll storm hell if you'll plan
tbe attack" Hadn't we better Try
STONY Point frst?" was the dry re-
sDonse AS this daring fighter on 2
dozen fields stood before the fair lazy
they must have felt the mutual attrac-
tion of beauty and valor, but neitner
dreamed Of their future relations, for
General Wayne was not widower az
that time.
Years went on, peace had long been
established. and Wayne was Gene e.-
in-Chief. when. as the story goes, Miss
Vining. still a beauty and belle, a'
forty electrified her friends by an
nouncing her engagement to General
Wayne. He was, perhaps, a little

credible that a woman possessed OF
any taste could don such monstrosi-

old-time heroine which the poet sings
about when She wears this sort of

The IlOusekeeper'S TragsdY


One day as wandered, heard COM

And saw poor woman, the picture
of gloom;
She glared at the mud ON her door
step Cpwas raining),
And this was her wall as she welded
her broom:
'Ol life is a toll. and love is a trouble,
And beauty will fade and riches win
fee,
And pleasures they dwindle, and prices
they double,
And nothing is what l could wish it
to be.
There's too much of worriment goes
to bonnet;
There's too much Of ironing goes to
a shirt;
There's nothing that pays for the time

I There's nothing that lasts but trouble
and dirt.
In March it is muddy; it's slush in

The midsummer breezes are loaded
with dust;
In fall the leaves litter; in muggy Sep
tember
The wall paper rots and the candle
sticks rust.
There are worms in the cherries and
slugs in the roses,
And ants in the sugar, and mice in
the pies
And rubbish Of spiders no mortal sup
poses,
And raving reaches and damaging
flies.
ITS sweeping at six and it's busting
at seven;
It's victuals at eight and it's dishe

It's potting and pannlng from ten t.

The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage died in
Washington at o'clock Saturday night.
The arrest of Manila editors for grossly
libeling the Philippine commission is de-
Tended by Governor Taft.
The Census Bureaus estimate of the cot

The fight between the commission men

shows signs of abatement. Other mar
kets are likely to profit.
Senator Mason carried the Monroe county
Qll) Republican convention with scarcely
effort. The Hopkins following made
poor showing against him.
The price of corn has again taken an up
ward tendency, owing TO heavy demands
from the Southwest. and il is promised that
the bulls will rule for time.
Prof j. NJ. Miller. who killed Miss Carrie
NJ Jennett at Detroit, pleaded guilty and
was in the Jackson penitentiary serving
life sentence seventy-two hours after COM
hitting the crime.
Detroit police think the suspicion that
w. A Jones knows something about the
murder of Bookkeeper Haywood is justified
because Mrs. Haywood admitted improper
relations with Jones.
Governor Dockery, of Missouri. says the
only mistake he made in connection with
the hanging of Henry Flutcher was i'm
granting a reprieve at all. He declares the
negro would have been hanged eventually
in any event.

The MOnOn's Future.

w. FL McDoel. president of the Monon, who
has been in New York for several days. is
expected at his headquarters to-day. While
in New York he was interviewed by rep
resentative of the Commercial as to the
conoition of the property and the traffic
outlook Mr.. McDOel said "Our road is
in frst-class physical condition and we in
tend TO maintain the standard of excellence
TO which it has been brought. Our equip
ment has been kept at a level of fitness
that leaves little to be desired although
average traffic this year has taxed our
capacity. The failure of the corn crop last
year did not affect the Monon very much,
as II is not TO any great extent a grain
road. Our traffic comes from the general
local business
Trade conditions in the country through
which we run regulate our earnings Moth
ing indicates a falling off in trade during
the ensuing year. north or south of the
OHIO river, and in the South. particularly.
business men are looking forward TO a
period of prosperity such as the South has
never experienced. / expect that traffic
northward from Kentucky and Tennessee
VIII reach high water mark this year
Rates show signs of increasing steadi-
ness throughout our district owing partly
to more perfect understanding among the
lines, and partly TO increased respect for
the interstate-cOmmerce laws There can
be no doubt that public sentiment is be-
mind the enforcement, though naturally the
plS ShlDptIs VINO nave Deen favored IN the
past are bitterly opposed TO it, The new
condition is better for both the railroads
and the public. Disastrous rate wars are
surely ended and the situation, while il
Will remain competitive, will be as free
from cut-throat tactics as has been that
OF the Southern ard the Louisville &
Nashville.
1t is my belief that these two roads
some time will cross the Ohio river. but L
do not look for such a move i'm the imme-
date future The Louisville & Nashville
will reach Chicago some day. but il shows
no tendency to undertake such a step now"

HEAVY TONNAGE in APRIL
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT WAS IN
EXCEss OF FORMER YEARS.
President McDoeI Sees Prosperous
Future for the MOnOn-General
and Personal Mention.

Despite the light grain movement the
train records show that freight traffic is
heavy for the season of the year and above
the usual April average. Last week In
dianapOlis lines handled at this point 1921
more loaded cars than in the corresponding
week of 1901, and 2,0S4 more than in 1900
and this, too. when the tonnage per car
is at least per cent. in excess of previous
years. The grain shipments east still con-
tinue below those of either of the last
twelve years. still there are more -four
and cerealine products being shipped than
in April last year, and the refrigerator
car traffic is in exces of that of the cor
responding period last year. West-bound
the loaded car movement continues heavier
than east bound, and it begins to look as
if present conditions would hereafter pre-
vail most of the time. so large a per cent.
of the grain for export going by way of
the gulf lines. The most noticeable increase
in business is in what would be called Cen
trail Traffic line freights. Throughout In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan there is
a heavy movement of lumber, coal, ma
chinery. agricultural implements, furni-
ture and produce. and this business is on
the increase. Especially is this noticeable
with the north-and-south lines. At In
dianapolis proper a larger tonnage of
freights is being handled than in any form
er spring; more men are employed, and
working overtime is of nightly occurrence.
Some of the roads are working Sunday
gangs. although contrary TO the spirit of
the agreement between local agents. The
train records show that there were re-
ceived and forwarded at this point in the
week ended April IL total of 2S,2S7 cars,
22,OS being loaded. against 2O.644 in the
corresponding week of 1901 and 1899 in
1900. The following table shows the num-
Der of cars handled at this point for the
week ended April II and for the CORE
