Genera Technically.

Among the most distinguished
practitioners of the supreme and
appellate courts is General Techni-
cali,y. Born of the most respec-
table lineage, and a lawyer by pro-
fession, his learning is profound,
especially in law intricate detail.
The family is a very old one. One
branch of it, now extinct, is mem
toned by Christ in the New Tesla
ment, were he speaks Of them as
straining at a gnal and swallowing
a campbell, their knowledg Of an
eient law was so great.
Divided into numberus branches,
there is a general of the clan
praetieing in every one of the
higher courts of the land. Elevate
ed tar above mediocrity, the general
does not touch any the most prof.
table business. The fortune Of the
family is large, as they own
the monopoly Of making all the red
tape for the government and have
royalties on a number Of hair-split-
ting machines invented by them.
Eminent responsibility is a eharae-
teristiet Of the general, and his as.
sooi.tions the most refined, but he is
always ready to reach down TO
any in hard luck or any one pursu-
ed by Mt. Folk. He is a strong
fortress and defense for the BoodleF
and Deiaulter and the iorlom hope
of men indicted and IN the shadow
OF duranee vile, His practice and
fees in this line are said TO be enor
nous, His ~tenaeiiy for small es, de.
tails. his profound knowledge and
knack At finding flaws in indictment
make him an invaluable counsel for
Boodlers. lie had his Office with
General Continuanee, another great
lawyer, and they often pull iogesh-
er. He is imbued with a keen sense
Of justice aud would assist a hum

He does not care for public opin-
ion. He does not think the voice

eality.
The original name Of the family
was Simpkins, but was changed by
petition to court. No one knows
how the general won his spurs OF
bis title. Probably in the Mexienu
war, or At the Alamo. or as one Of
the r. +. vs. The doors of the
most exclusive social set, open 10

found some letters the silly man
had left round which prompted her

Free rural delivery has been
pressed forward so rapidly that
the post Office department is wise
in slowing up until il can fully
grasp the situation. la 1897 free
rural delivery began with an ap-
propyiston Of $4,000. The
amount allowed in 1895 was sso.-
900, aud in 1899, $4,000. In
1900 the appropriation was $780,
600, and the routes in operation
increased from a. TO Ia76. In
1901 $3.50, 600 was provided and in
1904 S5,99S,74o, with $500 routes
laid out. For the year beginning
next July Sr2 ,67I, 100 is available.
In six years the routes have eS-
banded from "A to I3,ooo, on
which carries travel s7S,ooo miles
daily, serving 1000, 900 people, or
nearly 10 per cent OF the total
population Of the country. That

not good policy, for its own or
other interests, to be rushed head

LARGE CROWD HEARD
LABOR DAY ADDRESS
Forty Thousand at Park Yes.
terday-Talk by Milford
Spohn, of Washington

One of the largest crowds of the
season visited Shellpot Park yester-
day and participated i'm the Labor Day
picnic. II is estimated that fully
twenty thousand persons were present
during the afternoon and evening. One
of the main attractions during the
afternoon was the vaudeville enter
tainment in which local talent gave "a
creditable exhibition.
Milford Spohn of Washington made
an address during the afternoon, in the
course OF which he spoke Of the ne
cessity for laboring men to organize for
mutual protection, and also 70 CO.
operate more effectively with their em-
ployers when any questions arise or
differences are to be settled. He be-
lieved that the laboring man had rights
to be respected and a dignity to main
tain as well as the employer and cap
italist, and the best results are OBJ
tanned through harmonious co-opera-
ton. He also counseled arbitration as
means of settliNy differences, If Il
could be resorted to satisfactorily by
the unions.
In the evening Mr.. Spohn again
made an address from the stage of the
! OUTDOOR luttAIt hloIS lllt odlAt INV
Evan w. Gallagher. of the Central
Labor Union, acted as presiding officer
and introduced Mr.. Spohn.
Again i'm the evening was the theatre
crowded to witness the vaudeville en-
tertainment. 1t was preceded by a
concert by the Philharmonic Band,
which was vastly appreciated Many
persons thought the concert was not
continued long enough, but the rea-
son the music was discontinued was 50
that it would not conflict with the
vaudeville.
Following this came an exhibition OF
fireworks in Malin's Grove. adjoining
the park. which was viewed by thous-
lands. 1t was a meritorious display
consisting Of artistic aerial rockets and
Roman candles, flower pots, and othei
dainty pyrotechnics. At thimes aeria
bombs were exploded that seemed e
make the earth tremble and set th'
heavens aquiver.
All the amusements were literall,
patronized and the Central Labor I'm
ion will realize a handsome sum from
, the privileges.

MORE THAN THOUSAND
!. DEAD FISH IN GHRISTIANA
Oil Discharged From Works
Plays Havoc With Carp
in the River

Carp made their first appearance OF
the season i'm the Christiana last even
ing, but they did not live long on ac-
count of the oil in the river. The sight
presented at high tide this morning
was sickening. More than a thousand
of the fish were dead. floating upon the
stream in the vicinity OF Third street
bridge.
Several OF the fish We're found dead
yesterday but this morning the surface
of the river was practically covered
with the dead fish. which measured IN
length from three 10 fifteen inches and
some of which would have weighed
four pounds. Those who saw them
say il looked as though the leaves Of
several books had been torn out and
scattered in the water, the broad white
sides of the fish looking like paper
Fishermen were never stirred up as
they are at present over the affair.
The fish have suffered from the oil
nuisance before. but never I'm the
wholesale manner as this morning.
The men have heretofore demonstrated
with the owners OF the mills that allow
the oil TO flow in the river, but moth
ing has been done and the nuisance is
worse now than ever before.
The whole stream is covered with "A
thick, oily. greasy coating, from bank
to bank. Not only does it kill the fish,
but gives out a sickening stencil.
Secretary Wigglesworth OF the
Board OF Health has been talked with
regarding the matter and will make
an investigation. II is the sole topic
of conversation among the fishermen
who are gathered I'm sheltered places
out Of the rain. They have had a bad
season already, the large amount OF
crabs having kept the fish from coming
here sooner.
