No one can realize 1t. The
words seem dumb, unable to con-
vey any adequate conception OF the
truth. AS the people of the city
sit at their homes or stand IN
groups on the streets, and try to
grasp the truth of this statement,
involuntarlly they turn to the near
est corner as If expecting to see
Charley and Knox themselves ap'
pear and prove that the report Is
false. Can it be that that familiar fig
ure with his faithful companion has
been seen for the last time. Many
sobered demeanor, many a sad
dened countenance, many be-
dimmed eye tell the sad story. Il
Is only too true.
The news came yesterday like q
flash of lightning and a roar OF
thunder from clear sky. II
struck dumb an entire city. With
the speed of light, 1t went through
the town, and In a few minutes ar
entire community was mourning
the death of friend. With bowed
heads and blanched cheeks and
moistened eyes, and whispered

discussed 1t. A hush fell upon the
city. 1t was as if a public calam-
ity had fallen from some avengtng
hand. All else was forgotten II
The consideration Of what each one
considered an irreparable personal
loss.
No one of the city was bette;
known than Charley Thistle. Blu
very few men, women or children
did not know him personally. Thi
acquaintance was not among any
particular class or circle. With tht
most prominent and the most lowly
he was equally familiar. Badge OF
rank or station or wealth-none O.
these were permitted to determine
his friendships. That genial smile
and hearty welcome and friendly
grasp were for all. Of him as one
close to him who passed away but
little while ago, it can be truly sale
that he was everybody's friend
Malice, envy, jealousy, selfshness
these were strangers to this ad
mirable personality. Genial pleas
ant, bright, he was the center ant
leading spirit In every group he
met. With life bright before him
he seemed to feel constant desire
to shed part of that brightness upon
the cloudy pathway of any not sc
fortunate.
He was generosity itself. Nc
man ever had his burden made
heavier by Charley Thistle. Or
the contrary, Into many home
was the sunshine of his generosity
joyfully experienced. In a quite
way, without ostentation, without
wanting even his left hand to know
what his right did, his charity went
out to every form of distress OF
suffering. No worthy cause evel
appealed to him In vain. Many
time has he said that 1t was better
to give to a few who did not deserve
1t than to refuse Ole who did. The
poor of the city lost a friend yes
terday whom they will miss fol
many a day. Liberal In thought
and action, his place In the char

For years Mr.. Thistle exerted an

RISKS WITH THE INSANE

The tragedy at Camden, Delaware, in
which wife coolly took the life of her
sleeping husband while she was suffering
from insanity, again points out the peril
OF temporizing with people whose minds
have became unbalanced. Mrs. Hollis
had been an inmate of the Farnhurst
Asylum, from which she had been re-
leased, but unmistakable evidence of de-
rangement had again manifested itself
and it had been decided to recommit her
to the asylum. A days delay, due to
the solicitude of the husband, occurred
and that proved fatal, for she became
possessed with the notion that he had
turned against her, SO in the cunning
that characterizes the demented, she
stole away from her captor in the early
morning and sent the fatal bullet into
the head of the man she loved best, shoot
ing him while he slumbered.
1t is one of the saddest and most dam
gerous features of the dethronement of
reason that loved ones become the object
of hatred and attack; and this was the
case in the terrible affair at Camden in
the neighboring State. Husband and
wife had lived happily together and in
her sane moments she would have for
feited her own life in defending him, if
that had been necessary; yet in the hour
of lost reason he becomes the one object
of dislike and the victim of the plot to
kill.
All this, with many other instances
that could be quoted, shows the danger
that always attends the innocent when
an insane person is near and the need of
taking the precaution of removal to
some asylum of the afflicted person. U.s.
uaily, however, this precaution is neg
lected owing to the solicitude for the in
sane being placed in jeopardy through a
effort to aid the demented
member of the family. y.--Ghester Times.

SMITH HELD WITHOUT BAIL

Preliminary hearing in the case of the
people against Frank Smith was held
Monday night in the Municipal court
room before Judge Cochran. The charge
against Smith of assault of little thirteen
year old Mary Kosikoski is one of the
most dastardly that has ever been COM
mitted i'll this county,
Evidence was given by witnesses to the
effect that the girl was waylaid near sthe
B. 4 o. tracks in South Wilmington, as
saulted and thrown into culvert which
resulted in her death from drowning.
1t was proved that she made desper-
ate fight for her honor. Her clothing
was blood stained, her undergarments
were disarranged and scratches on her
limbs indicated severe struggle. Then,
too, her two vide hair combs, and safety
pin that had been on the person of little
Mary were found some distance from
where tile body was found.
Such an athletic man as Smith would
have had little or no tronble in overcom-
ing the physical powers of this girl. But,
there Is nothing but circumstantial evil
dence against him, and that is very
meagre.
The only possible connection that the
most strenuous efforts of Assistant City
Solicitor Baldwin Springer could bring
out from the numerous witnesses was the
fact that Smith was seen coming from.
