Special to the Evening journal
Dover, Feb. 1.-THE offer of the Reg
ular Republicans to join with the Union
Republicans for the election of two
United States Senators submitted yes
terday and which was spurned by the
Union members, was the sole topic of
conversation here today. The action of
the Unions shows that the dramatic
withdrawal of Addicks from the sena-
torial race was a mere bluff, The replies
of the Union Republicans were almost
insulting.
Pennewill Says "Never."
When, in the absence Of Senator j.
Frank Alice, the proposition was hand
ed to Senator Simeon Pennewill, he
said:
we will never consent to the elec-
ton of a Regular without Mr.. Ad-
dicks. Without Addicks, the Regulars
must come into caucus with us anC
abide by the choice of the majority"
Other Union Republicans said:
Senator Conner: Never, never. viii
We vote for a Regular without Mr.. Ad.
dicks. We will act on the proposition
on Monday and put both heels on it. w,
won't spend more than five minutes OF
it."
Secretary of State Layton: Darn m,
If / would give it five minutes. 1 woul,
send back in reply the proposition o
Mr.. Addicks to withdraw if the ten Reg
ulars go into caucus and abide by tn
will Of the majority"
Expected BY Regulars.
From expressions by Regulars it i
evident that they did not expect tn
proposition to receive kindly considera
ton from the Unions. They realize
That Addicks' so-called self-sacrificin
offer was a bid to the public for sent
ment.
Henry c. Ellison, President pro ten
of the Senate. suggested that the effor
of the Regulars was primarily to shol
to Delawareans and the country at larg
that the Regulars were willing to dea
fair.
The proposition needs no comment.
said Representative Finn, leader OF tn
Regulars in the Assembly. "Addicks j
not a fit man to represent any people IL
the United States Senate, and, eliminat
ing him, we are willing to take one o
his party"

PREPARATION FOR LENT
Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Ed
sail Issue Instructions to Their
Respective Dioceses.

s. The bishops of the Episcopalian and
Catholic churches yesterday sent messages
To the different churches in their respect
i've jurisdictions, calling attention to the
approach Of the Lenten season and the
rules of self denial which should be pr;ac-
ticed during that period by all good
churchmen Bishop Edsall reminds Epis-
copalians that because theater-going, card
playing and several lighter forms of
amusement are not in themselves harmful
that is not a sufficient excuse for indulg :
| ing in them during Lent. The point to
be borne in mind is that only by abstain
ing from certain pleasures or luxuries to
which they are accustomed can people ex-
pect to build their characters strong with
! self denial.
| Archbishop Ireland advises his people
| that the use of meat IS forbidden on
Wednesdays, Fridays and the Saturdays
| of Ember and Holy weeks being allowed
at all meals on Sunday and the principal
meals of Monday, Tuesdays Thursday and
Saturdays, with the two exceptions. Those
exempt from the rules of HASTINGS are I'M
der q and over so years of age, the infirnl
and convalescent women bearing or nurs
! ing children, those engaged in hard labor
O.: other duties greatly taxing the strength
and those whose poverty prevents them
| from securing for the principal meal a
sufficient quantity of nutritious food.
| BY special dispensation working peo-
! ple'' are permitted the use of meat on al
days in Lent at all three meals of the
day, except on Fridays, Ash Wednesdays
and the Wednesday and Saturday Of Holy
! Week.

BOOK THIEF BUSY
Seems to Be Working Out a Course
at the Central High
School.
No Glass of Educational Literature

If the thieves had taken only the Man

NJ Greer would not have complained Of
the recent loss of text books at the central

have learned the evil of their ways. But
any book that was a book proved equally
attractive. Chemistries and Latin gram
mars. medieval histories and modern
physics. the "Short Course in Botany, :,
with all it's innocent pictures. have been
purloined from the pupils desks within
the last two weeks. Even the "Compen-

been recovered at local pawnshops. The
books had been pawned, explained the
brethren of the three balls, by young
man. Yes, he might have been student.
The information was indefinite, and Prin-
cipal Greer is persuaded that one or two
youths having no connection with the
school, have withdrawn the stepping
stones to learning. "The janitors can't
remember all our 1900 pupils says Mr..
Greer ut would be easy for young fell

balance from a desire to conquer in a re-

magazine articles calculated to purvey
original arguments.

DREGER STARTS TONIGHT.
Final Decision on the Ames Case
Will Be Made When Sheriff
Returns.

Sheriff J.ssW. Dreger will leave Buffalo
this evening and will probably arrive in
Minneapolis Wednesday morning. Until
he comes, no decision as to the removal
of former Mayor A. A. Ames to Mime
'apolis will be made. With the sheriff
here and the facts as he has learned them
from personal observation at hand, there
will be a conference and a final decision
as to the extradition of the fugitive after
March S, at which time he will be turned
over to the Minnesota authorities.
d In a dispatch from Manchester, N. H.,
appearing in one of the St. Paul papers,
the statement was made that Sheriff
Doane had received a .voluminous tele-
graphic message from County Attorney
F. H. Boardman the subject of which is
a statement that District Judge Harrison
has ordered that ex-Mayor Ames be taken
back at any cost and strong request
that Doane have Ames ready to deliver
March 5. the date Of the requisition, if he
is alive
'"That report is absolutely false" said
Mr.. .Boardman this morning, when shown
the article. II know of no such tele-
gram and there will absolutely be no de-
cision made until after the return of
Sheriff Dreger and 1 have had a confer
ence with him.
1t is stated upon good authority that the
Ames bondsmen are at present taking an
active interest in the return of the pris-
oner. Messrs. Lowry, Boutell, Schiek and
Johnson have each, SO it is stated, made q
donation to the sheriff fund to be used
in bringing the former mayor back.

The system adopted by the probation
officer seems to be a good one and is
already productive of results. All Of the

asked to sign a pledge not to indulge in
cigarette smoking. The signing entities

The idea of forming an anti-cigarette
society is meeting with approval and
gives promise of being productive Of much
good,'' said Mr.. Holt recently. 'Boys

OUTWITTED THE PIANIST
How Gabrllowitsch, Who Has Repeatedly
Refused His Autograph, Was !.
Cieverly Tricked,, 5e..-sr III.

When Ossip Gabrilowitsch, who plays
in Minneapolis Friday night, was in Pitts
burg recently, an amusing Incident oc-
CURED which indicates in what fattering
regard he is held by the young women of
that city. GabriloWitsch had been avoid
ing all attempts to secure an introduce
ton, a picture or his autograph. One Of
the Pittsburg girls, noted for her beauty
and wit, devised a unique way of secur-
ing his autograph. She was introduced
to GabrilOWitsch at a reception, attended
by her father, who is one of Pittsburg' 8
foremost iron magnates. 1t pleased Gal
briowitsch that she could talk with him
in French. and an animated conversation
ensued. The young lady told of a threat
ened trivial illness. Gabrilowitsch said he
knew just what would cure her, and pro-
ceeded to make known the remedy. The
girl listened attentively, when suddenly
she said: g..
won't you please prescribe for me?
Write it in your language and let me see
if you will make as excellent a physician
as you are an artist -.....-.. ..~.
| GabriloWitsch readily assented. When
he had finished he handed her a card I'M
signed. She quickly noted the omission
and said, "A physician always signs his
prescriptions, and I am sure you will not
render an incomplete service.
Gabrlowitsch was forced to agree to the
correctness of this statement and in an
other moment the young belle of Pitts
burg was proud in the possession of the
only autograph Gabrilowitsch has given or
| his tour.
