The Kings Informal Visit.
l Casselrs Magazine.

From Cassells Magazine.
His majesty never fails when paying
private visits In the provinces to look
i'm upon any personal friend who may
live IN the neighborhood. In this.
nection one may recall the. Ycacious-
afReg giHRrise0ylsltOiRRs paid to Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone at IIawarden when
staying for tho Chester races with the
late Duke OF Westminster at Eaton
Han.
Greatly honored by the call, the
"Grand old Man" and his wife always
treasured with singular pride the fact
that the prince put the event on per-
manent record by consenting to be pho
tographed with the great statesman
and his family.
This reminds one that a photograph
of a house party rarely fails to be Sc
cured when the King is q visitor. The
ordeal, If we may call it so, is usually
fixed lust prior to the guests departing
for the days shooting or fishing, when
the morning toilets Of the ladies have
been prepared, and when everybody is
naturally in the highest spirits, antici-
pating a good bag.
Ii Is never necessary on these occa-
sions. even IL the photographer dare.
TO ask the King to look pleasant" His
majesty is an "old hand" at facing the
camera. and does so with tender soliei-
tude for the photographers subsequent
success.
Those who imagine that on their vis-
Its to country houses the King and
Queen are escorted wherever they sc
by a band of servants and other retain
ers are laborine under fallacy.
When their majesties were staying q
few years ago at West Dean, the splen'
, did Sussex home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Will
i, lie James. the Queen might often have
been seen plloted only by the garden
er making a tour of the grounds an'
I greenhouses. 1t was q sign of her ma
jestys simple graciousness that sh
made the latter keen his hat on during
o the pilgrimage; Il was also q proof o
O. the Queens impartiality that she should
assert that the flowers grown at Wes
n Dean were better than those at Sand
o rinuham.

Workmen Buried BY cave-In.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 14.-As a result
Of a cave-in on the new Brilliant cut
Off, George Toubon was killed and
Michael Tetroch is in the East End
Hospital. suffering from bad cuts on
the head and internal injuries. A force
Of Is men were putting the finishing
touches on a deep excavation, when
an explosion occurred. Immediately
all the men attempted to reach the top
for safety, but before they could do
so tons Of earth poured into the ex-
cavation. AS soon as It was consid-
cred safe a large force of men was
put to work clearing the excavation
and rescuing the imprisoned workmen.
Excepting Toubon and Tetroch, all es-
capped with slight injuries.

Naturalization frauds have grown so
common that 1t is said President Rcose-
Welt will Recommend In his message to
Congress an act giving the Federal
courts sole jurisdiction in the matter
and creating a commission TO examine
applicants. A reform is most certainly
needed. The practice in tho various
state and Federal courts is not uni
form. At times the making Of aliens
into citizens is a mere perfunctory GER
emony to be gotten through with with
dispatch. It is grave matter, how
ever, and It is the natural function OF
Congress TO improve the system.

these institutions receive a great part
Of their revenue from the public treas
ury and there are few cities OF the
size Of Wilmington that don't main
tain one OF these institutions. OF
course there might be abuses If the
Legislature or county were allowed 10
appropriate moneys to charitable insti-
tutions, but we think that any people
that cannot use a part Of the public
revenues for humane work has placed
itself in an improper attitude. The

not shift the full responsibility on the
shoulders Of the voluntary contributor.

Freedom.

OF old, sat Freedom on the heights
The thunders breaking az her feet
Above her shook the starry lights,
She heard the roaring torrents meet,
There in her place she did rejoice,
self gathered in her prophet-mind.
But fragments Of her mighty voice
Came rolling down upon the wind.
Then stepped she down through town
and field
To mingle with the struggling race
And part BY part 10 men revealed
The glorious fulness OF her face.
Her ope eyes desire the truth.
The wis(jm OF thousand years
l.. in them. may perpetual youth
Keep dry their holy light from tears

MAINTAINING HosPIrALs.

That the onicers Of the Delaware
Hospital should be compelled TO go
before the Levy Court and make an
appeal for the payment Of the board
Of two men who wounded and under
arrest were sent to that institution,
shows that there Is something wrong
with our system. We have money for
almost everything-for junkets, pill
ferings and ral1e-offs. yet this insiitu-
zion that is doing Its humane work has
TO come before the Levy Court TO plead
for the payment of just bill. It called
for s1.25 per day for board. The medl-
cal attendance. the nursing and the
medicines were free. Well. how Is
the money raised for carrying on this
institution? It doesn't drop from
heaven like mamma. 1t is raised by
private contributions. by fairs and
rumniage sales. And the public treas
ury doesn't contribute a penny.
The constitution OF tho state pro-
hiblts the appropriation Of public
moneys, State. county or municipal to
corporations or indivlduala, and. there

MANNERS.

Waking doNn Market street the
other day an elderly, nice-loo1ing man
slipped on an orange peelmg and in
stantly found himself sprawling on the
pavement somewhat shaken up his
clothing soiled and his hat in the gut
ter. Passing at the time was a throng
OF persons. smart business men, clerks,
we'll dressed ladies and mechanics
What did they do when the old gem
tlernan tumbled? The business men
smiled broadly the girls gigeled, the
ladies turned away their heads to con-
ceal their amusement ard one or two
young men opened their mouths wide
Iy and emitted a "ha, hal" A little shop
girl with package under her arm was
the only person not seized with the con-
tagion Of merriment. She fetched the
gentleman his hat carefully wiping Off
the mud on her skirt before presenting
It. and started to pass on, but the old
gentleman was himself again by this
time. He placed the hat on his head,
then removed it and bowling gravely to
the little shop girl thanked her and
passed down the street. while another
general smile from the crowd followed
the conclusion Of tho ceremony.
In all that throng there was one gem
tleman and one lady--the man who had
fallen and the little shop girl. The
Americans are noted for their sense OF
humor, but what there is that Is mlrth-
In seeing an old man through
an accident fan on the street is hard
to explain. with a great many per-
sons manners is something put on
a veneer. but all II needs Is scratching
to show tho coarse grain beneath. The
real nature Of persons crops out In
hundred ways OF which they are not
aware. The woman with diamonds in
her ears who at the ticket office rude.y
pushes other persons aside. although
she has twenty minutes to wait for her
train, may be most gracious In her
home and oonsiderate Of the comfort Of
her guests, but that is only the veneer.
Another test of a mans or woman's
true quality is to be found In the way
they treat servants. onice boys or 9TH
ers IN inferior stations Your true
gentleman is too proud to be unlxind
or unjust. and your true lady never has
tho impulse, or at least it is rare and

dressed woman with the unattractive
baby In her arms. who can find no seat.
But now see the change. A cookbook

the vision is cleared. The man is on his

while he bows the newcomer TO the
seat he hss vacated.

training. They may be shown in the

NEEps EXPLANATION.

If the story in a morning paper is
correct somebody is preparing a rather
ingenious defense for the fiend who
outraged and murdered the young Po-
lish girl the other night. She is dead
and by subtle insinuation her char
acter Is attacked so that nobody is
guilty Of an outrage
The charge Of murder is harder to
get around. but that too has not proved
an unsurmountable obstacle. It is
made to appear that the little girl was
intoxicated and while in that condition
fell in puddle and was drowned. Thus
nobody has been guilty of serious
wrong, and everything is lovely.
But granting that the little girl OF
thirteen can be proved to have been
dissolute character there is some
thing in the drowning to be explained.
How she was able to walk that dis
tance and yet not able to lit her head
out Of a shallow pool when she was
drowning yet needs explanation.

story of just plain people engaged in the
homely pursuits of domesticity but the
events that are unfolded in the course Of

There is the interesting love story Of the

New York, where the show was on view
for ten weeks last fall may be credited
this collection of the worlds rarest

always headed the list of animal deal
ers so are his exhibitions in the arena
the most thrilling as well as instruc-
