The inmates Of the New Castle County

The inmates OF the New Castle County
Hospital, at Farnhurst, were given So
ciable Monday evening by the superin-
tendent, b. Frank Blackburn, and assist
ant superintendent. Mrs. Blackburn,
which all enjoyed very much. The in
mates were all out in the front corridor
on the second floor, and very fine liter
airy and musical programme was given
for their benefit Charles Stearns, OF
Warwick, Md, played the mouth organ
and guitar; there was cake walk psrtici-
pated in by Oliver NJ. Matthews, Of Mid
dletown, Bayard Vinyard. of Warwick,
Andrew Fitzpatrick, Of Dover, Mr.. Albert
Ii. Suydam, Of Middletown, and Miss
Minnie O'Hanlon, of Farnhurst; recita-
tions by William Greenwell and Miss
Katie O'Hanlon, Of Wilmington music
by Mary and William Greenwell, Oscar
Shuster and Bayard Vinyard, and also a
pleasing solo by one Of the patients. At
the conclusion Of the programme the in
mates were eserved with tempting refresh
ments by Mrs Blackburn and Mr.. Suy-
dam.
New Castle County farmers may feel
grateful because they are not confronted
with the trouble OF their Kent county |
brothers. In New Castle county the farm
ers decided that to meet desperate stu
alton needed desperate means. Accord
ingly they hired farm hands at good |
wages and encouraged them to stay on
the farm. In Kent county the time was
when help was plentiful and the farmer
little or no trouble in get
ting men whenever he wanted them.
Things are different now days and most
of this help has drifted either to the
,ities and railroad centres, or they have
grown indolent and worthless with no de-
'ire for good job. The consequence is
hat the farmer is obliged to bid for lis
lire from $l.25 to $l.50 a day, and this
igure with the small profits ACQUIRING to
most tillers Of the soil, has caused many
Q abandon the farm and enter other pur-
uits. Some attribute the condition OF
hings to the Delaware Railroad, which

BULLDOGS AND CATS.
Fellow Pets That Have Their Indt.
vidunl A~utipathies Yet Five
Together In Peace.

Milady is very fond Of her two
French bulldogs and her big Maltese
cat, named Paddy. But the bulldogs
arc not fond OF the cat, and vice
versa. still. they live in comparative
peace. though Paddy's back humps
and her tail grows as large as mi
lady's fur boa when he sees those
French bulldogs, says the St. Louis
Republic.
Paddy has nc high pedigree, but he
is perhaps as high in the favor OF
milady as the two CANNES. due in a
measure 10 the old love which milady
bore to Paddy'- grandmother. who
loved TO romp and play when she wa
a kitten.
Paddy and the French bulldogs hav
peculiarities, and that is the reaso
this story is written.
Paddy does not cncroach upon =
territory of the bulldogs, and the L g.
ter do not invade Paddy's b~ailiwh'k.
but there is neutral ground. The
neutral ground is the first floor ot
milady's home. PADDY rules the
basement and the subcellar: the dogs
have the bedrooms. They sleep on
the beds and sofas and chairs in the
daytime. much to the disgust OF the
chambermaid.
The interesting time comes when
milady sits down at the piano and
plays selections from the masters.
The lively melodies set the tails Of
the French bulldogs in a whirl. The
tails spin numerous circles as the
music rolls forth. The dogs are in
ecstacy.
But with Paddy it is a different tale.
The most beautiful opera will cause
him to hump his back and jump
around in great annoyance. He
rushes down into the basement. and
then into the suhceilar. where he
offers thanks for the relief from what
seems 10 his cat soul the worst kind
of discord, Better far is the wailing
of himself and the others of his ilk
on the back fences O nights.
All Of which proves the old, old
story that what is food for some is
poison for others.
