surrendered to his creditors at the time
Of the Grant * Ward failure. it is re-

woman who had married a drunkard
and who had just been deserted, though
she. was penniless and had two little
children.

said Mrs Grant. But did you feel in
the right place? Did you feel in your

The Introduction of Forks.

Forks are articles OF such common

food so cut was aftcrward conveyed by

Cheese.

Cheeses come under three generai
heads. whole milk, skim or sour milk
and whole milk and cream. The ripen-
ing OF cheese. upon which depends Its
flavor Is due to the action OF bacteria,
which are ever present in milk; also IN
the rennet which is used In the manu-
facture. Cheese which has been ini-
properly handled is apt to accumulate
deleterious bacteria. Cheese has great
nutritive value. 1t yields nearly three
times the amount Of caloric yielded Dy

AddickS Out of
Senatorial Race.

Dover. Del, Feb. 5.-The sudden
Edward Addicks had withdrawn from
the candidacy for United States sena-
tor which he urged SO persistently
since 1895. created al immense sensa-
tion.
The belief is general that the re-
fusal of the United States senate to
confirm United States District Attor-
ney William M. Byrne had the effect
of bringing about Mr.. Addicks' with
drawal. The Union Republicans
choice for senator in place of Addicks
will probably be Governor Hum or
Secretary of State Stanley. State
Senator Alice. the Addicks leader has
declared, repeatedly declared, that he
would not accept the United States
senatorship. Mr.. Addicks arrived
here from Wilmington about l O'Clock
going dir ,ct to the capitol. He was
ushered into the parlor of the state
house. where all the Union Republi-
cans of the legislature were assembled
together. The assembly received Mr..
Addicks with cheers and he appeared
deeply moved by the heartiness of the
greeting.
Immediately after Mr.. Addicks ar
rived. Governor John Hum. who is
called the peacemaker in Delaware
politics, entered the parlor.
After the doors had been closed,
those outside heard frequent bursts
of applause and the rumor became
general about the capitol that Mr..
Addicks was to withdraw from the
most remarkable political fight in the
history of the country. a fight which
had deadlocked three sessions of the
legislature and split the republican
party into factions.
The rumor was confirmed shortly
after 2 O'Clock when the caucus ad.
journed.
