wildwood's Scrap Iron Band.

Prof. Roselle's Wildwood Scrap Iron
Band made its appearance on the streets
OF Wildwood last Saturday afternoon
for the first time this season. This band
presents a ludicrous appearance when
parading, and causes many a hearty
laugh among the onlookers. By a ban
ner proudly carried at the head of the
procession we are informed that U-R-A
Crab is the leader. Happy Holigan and
Fatty Felix are much in evidence, and
each one of the band is attired in some
outlandish costume. The music they
manage to turn out on their new zobo
band outfit would never make you
cave your happy home. If you want
to see a sight just watch for them next
Saturday afternoon when they will be
out in all their glory, as will they every
Saturday during August. Some friends
of the band have started a subscription
paper to help defray the expenses nee
essarlly connected with a project of this
kind. The business men will do well
to subscribe literally.

Taken with Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a member ofthe bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday with cramps
and a kind of cholera. His case was SO
severe that he had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr.. Gift
ford was called and consulted. He told
them he had a medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy that he thought would
help him out and accordingly several
doses were administered with the result
that the fellow was able to be around
next day. The incident speaks quite
highly of Mr.. Gifford's medicines

Delaware,a Senatorial Fieht.

Albany Times-UniOn
The country has reason to congratu-

place within the last few weeks The
men Favored with a renewal of com

most useful mem beFs of the senate.
while those who are for the first time
honored with membership in that body
have either had legislative experience
in the other house of congress, or else
have been active in politics at home
and, therefore, are no strangers to the
game Taken as whole, indeed, the
list is an admirable one. and contains
names which the country within the
next few years may consider in con-
nection with even a higher office.
There is cause for congratulation,
too, in the fact that no scandal has at
tached to any Of the contests. In the
majority of the cases there were no
contests. The peoples choice had been
indicated before the legislatures met
They were simply a prompt ratification
of the popular will. But where con

exciting was in Colorado. and while
that was marked by features lacking

met with acceptance on the part OF
the opposition, and the state in
Mr.. Teller is assured Of a public SER
want OF bll1Ty and character
All of this serves to fix attention the
more steadily upon Delaware, where
a very ugly condition Of affairs has for
several years existed The particulars
need not be recited. They are well
known, and are discreditable enough
to the commonwealth. Both senator
ships are in the scale. The state is
without a voice in the upper house of
congress. and moreover is the subject
of severe criticism all over the country.
The legislature is in session. The Re
pubhcans are in power Action is de-
manded. and yet there is a deadlock.
Shall another failure to elect be re-
corded2 Shall the two empty seats in
the senate remain empty two years
longer2 Shall it be in order for some
body to propose throwing the affairs
of the state into the hands of a re-
ceiver?

Guilty to 1t. This is Representatives.
Tt is not entirely q local affair. The
other states of the Union have a right
to demand that Delaware present her
self through accredited representatives
in the senate of the United States, and
help shape, as she shares in, national
