The pig was cute little thing. In
spite Of various intrigues invented by
some of the boys, Mr. Schallern got
the porkerine lodged in a hencoop at
home. But the imp Of mischief, which
had been sailing around all evening
looking for lodgment, got into certain
Royaltonian's head. and he swiped the
piggy, and by considerable diplomacy
got it expressed to Royalton. During
Saturday Mr.. Schallern was called to
the long distance phone. Royalton
wanted him. AND as he listened
porcine squeal came over the line.
The unfortunate:piggy was at the 9TH
er end and somebody was twisting her
tail. It is understood that Royalton
will adopt the porkerine as a mascot.
The sack of staff of life mysterious
~ disappeared. It is said it was de-
posted among the other sacred ar

but later appeared in a haunt of
Bacchus, where it had been traded for
nectar of the Kiewel brand.
The cabbage was not cabbaged.

pauy of Forcstdale about 100 OF their
hands went out on IL strike yesterday af-
ternoon The concern is a wood working
plant and the strikers are practically all
the hands employed by the company.
The facts in the case appear to be as
follows: 1t has always been the custom
OF the firm to employ the Transfers in odd
jobs about the factory when the weather
is such as to prevent their doing their
usual work. Yesterday the rain kept the
transfers IN and Louis Bump, a younger
member of the firm. ordered the four men
To clean out an alleyway in the basement.
This alleywaY contains a number of swiftly
moving belts and the tcamstors considered
the work of cleaning up about them of too
dangerous a character for them to safely
undertake. They told Mr.. Bump that they
would rather lose their time than do the
work but Mr.. Bump replied that they
could do as he ordered or go home. This
the men took to he virtual discharge and
went to the office and drew their pay.
When the rest of the employees learned
of this they held n consultation at the
moor hour and decided that If the team
stcrS were not taken back that they would

Mr. Bump and. gaining no satisfaction
from their interview with him. they all

HISTORY OF THE STRUGGLE.

Mr. Addicks began his long struggle
for "A seat in the Senate in 1885, when the
term of Eli Salisbury was about to cx-
pirr, Although unknown to the pollti-
clans OF Delaware he obtained some
backing but when the republican legis-
laturc met in January 1888 the caucus
nomination Went to Anthony Higgins.
IN 1892 Mr.. AddiCks again entered tho
senatorial field but the democrats carried
the State and George Gray was elected.
In 1871 when Mr. Higgins term was about
to expire AddiCks made his third essay
for the seGatorship. From that time
dates the split of the party into the two
factions styled union and regular republic
cans. Addicks returned 10 the charge in
1898 when there was another deadlock last.
ing until the adjournment in 1889.
Last year the two republican factions
united on a State ticket which was elect
ed. When the balloting began on January
% of this year Addicks again turned
up as a candidate for both terms, receiv-
ing ~ votes for the long term
and 10 for the short term, The lines re-
manned practically unhroken until TO-
day.
