THE COUNTY OFFICES

On Tuesday next, the last OF
the Democratic county officials
leave the Court House to be sue
ceeded by Republicans, and for
the first time since the Civil War
the entire control of New Castle
County will be in the hands of
the Republican party. The net
result of two years management
of the finances of the county by
a Republican Levy Courthas been
a reduction Of ten cents per SSff666
in the tax rate and a promise Of
another like reduction of July 1st
of this year. Mr.. Willis as
President of the Levy Court and
chairman of the Finance Com
mittee has made an excellent rec
ord and it is to be hoped that he
will be reelected, or at least,
that the system which he has
adopted will be continued.

WHAT A YELLOW DOG DID.

st. Louis, April 2s-while Major
General II. @. Corbin, U. s. A., was
inspecting the worlds fair grounds
alone, and thinking over his coming
duties OF grand marshal during the
dedication ceremonies next week. n
common yellow dog slipped up from
behind, and, without warning, bit
the general in the leg, General Corbin
wheeled around, but the dog again
seized his clothing with avidity which
put the warrior to rout.
He ran and finally outran the dog,
arriving at the emergency hcsdquar-
tiers, where DR.. Moore speedily cauter.
lied the wound. DR.. Moore assured
General Corbin that the wound would
not prove serious, and he proceeded
with his arrangements.

FUTURE OF NEGRO
NEW YORK PREACHER DISCOv,
ERS THE SOLUTION OF THE
RACE PROBLEM.

New York, April 2s-After q trip
through the South for the purpose of
studying the negro problem DR.. II. S.
Mac Arthur of the Calvary Baptist
church has returned to New York.
He visited nine Southern states and
met representatives from three or four
other states.
Speaking of his trip, he said:
at must be admitted that in my
travels found men sensitive over the
Booker Washington incident at the
White House, but even they are recov-
ering from the effects of the first
shock. They now learn that the pres.
ident's act bears no more relation to
the social equality of the races than
the political Afiiliation of the man in
the moon.
Even the bitterness of the Crum
appointment is fast passing away, and
the South has unbounded admiration
for President Roosevelt and his won
derful achievements, in his strenuous
personality and unspotted character.
1.-THE people of the North should
trust the South more fully today in its
treatment OF the negro than ever be-
fore. The difficult problem of the
past is fast nearing its solution. Mr..
Uarnegie's gift came at an opportune
time. Booker Washington is the
Moses to 1000, 900 blacks today that
Moses of old was to 100000 He.
brews. He is another Washington,
only to vastly greater numbers than
was our general and president.
"A brighter day is coming, when
the mutual trust between the North
and South Will solve the problems of
the hour. The future of the negro in
the South is bright, not dark; hopeful
and not despairing."

Danyille, Ky, April 2s-Robert J.
Brect inridge is not in the best humor
over the late move made by which
Hendriok withdraws. lie says that it
was his understanding when confer

Hendricks that Hendrick was to run
the race out. He also says that Hen

about his own strength when this con.
ference was held. "lf I had known
that Hendrick WAS going to with

a conference, or withdrawn from the

MIRRORS FOR uoToRMEN.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch says)
Ninety per cent of the damage suits
brought against the Transit Co. filed
in the circuit court contain the allega-
tion that tine car was started while the
passenger was still on the step. As
decisions adverse TO the Transit Co.
are often rendered for sums varying
from 900 to $40, 900, the company
has been casting about for some device
to prevent this class Of accidents
Most fea sible of the devices suggested
is . mirror, which is set at such an
angle that the m otorman can sec the
passenger getting on or of the car
The mirror attachment is being tried
on the Olive street line, and number
of the nars have been fitted with it.
1t is said that all the lines will be
equipped with this safety device if it
proves to be of practical value.

what she knew of the pressure that

THE PORTERS' CIPHER
They Can Tell a Mans Capacity
for Tips"
Communicate With Each Other BY the
Way Labels Are Pasted.

well, struck q brand new thing |
today" remarked . clerk of we'll
known hotel in this city.
"For some time my attention has
been attracted to certain porters, en-
pioyed here in this hotel, by their
strange and until now unaccountable
actions regarding the arrival Of new
guests.
Every time a guest appears these
men make q wild dash for his baggage
and Immediately begin hasty, but
thorough examination Of it. Then
their manner Is quickly becomes one Of
marked and really unnecessary polite
ness or one Of painfully evident duty.
Knowing that tips are not to be ex-
pected until some service is rendered,
certainly not until at least the bag
gage has been landed. the cause Of all
this could never penetrate. But one
morning last week hit upon the
thing in quite an unexpected manner.
There was some mistake about the
guests trunk-an actress who was to
play in this city that night She did
not arrive until Monday at noon, so
there was no time to be lost, ana at
once took things in my nwn hands,
and began the search for the trunks
When Ientered the baggage room no.
ticed the porter, bending over the
different trunks, examining the labels,
and was astounded by the accompany
ing remarks overheard. NO good,
ncthin' doin', said one. There's a
good thing, came from another direc-
tion, and in less time than IL takes to
tell. the baggage was divided. The N.
@. side and the good thing side. as I
aftarward learned.
=" Now, see here. boys, said /, Il
want 90 know what this means, and /
explained how had been watching
them for some time, but that now
must have the reason for all this unu-
sual conduct, and IL was with the
greatest effort finally forced the con-
fession from one Of the porters.
lyon see. boss, said he, we've
got to study tic question Of tips; tip
on tips, you know, and we work to-
gether like, say when a guest leaves a
hotel to 90 to another. the porter, IL
he's on, pastes the label on his baggage
in a slaniing position, which means he
is good for tips. while when the la
bells are pasted ON straight. it means
that this guest considers that the hotel
pays Us for our scrv ices. and we know
there Is nothin' doin' and we do Just
our duty, cause anything extra would
be wasted on these people,
" Tricks in all trades, boss, he
continued, aud quickly repeated the
name of the actress and walked right
over to the N. G.. side. and put his
hand on her trunk without any trou-

there il was perfectly straight. And

CAT STOLE DOUGHNUTS.
And Then Divided Her Plunder with
\ Dog Friend Who Was Al
ways Near Her.

This is a true story that my grand
mother told me about her cat and dog
She used to find the cover off her
doughnut jar, and also noticed that
her doughnuts disappeared.
One day she heard noise, and
found that her cat was on the shell
where the doughnuts were kept.
Then it put it's paw in the jar and
drew out doughnut and pushed it
off the shelf; and the dog, who was
looking up at the cat, caught the
doughnut in it's mouth and ate it.
When they found they were caught
they acted very guilty.
Then there was a cat who did not
allow any cat or dog in her yard, and
had a special dislike to the cat who
thought it owned the next yard.
One day the latter cats mistress
went away to have good time for
several weeks, and left her cat with
no food, as people too often do.
Then the cat, who before this would
not allow any cat in her yard, actual.
" coaxed the abandoned cat into the
outer shed where her meals were
served, and fed the cat in that way
till the people came back. After that
it would not allow the cat there any
more than before.-Our Fourfooted
Friends,

WAS HIS OWN VICTIM.
Through Wrong End and Was
Easily Captured.

The pet monkey of German profes-
sor, having made his escape, climbed
into a tree and defied all attempts to
catch him.
Well knowing the initiative habits
of the animal, his master hit on a
curious plan to regain his pet.
He looked at the monkey through
an opera glass, pointing the small end
at him for some time, and then he
retired to short distance, leaving the
opera glass on the ground.
The initiative monkey descended
from the tree, and taking the opera
glass, gazed after similar manner,
at his master, who seemed to the de-
luded ape to be half mile distant.
The monkey, still looking through
the same end of the opera glass, sup
posed his master was several hundred
yards distant, when the latter, reach.
ing out, secured the chain and led the
victim of an optical illusion back to
his cage.

INSTINCT OF BIRDS.
e Enables Them to Hide Their Vests
So Skillfully That Enemies
Cannot Find Them.

The brilliantly plumed birds OF the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and if they were not gifted
with queer yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their en-
emies. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their hedglings are preyed upon by
foes en- every side.
But it takes sly monkey or snake
to get ahead of the mother tailor bird.
She hides her nest so skillfully that
her enemies cannot find it, no matter
how hard they try. This she does
by using her long, slender bill as a
needle.
With the tough fiber of parasite
plant abundant in the tropics as a
thread, she sews dead leaf taken
from the ground to living one near
the end of slender and hanging
branch, and between these leaves she
builds her nest, where neither mon
key nor snake can approach, because
the branch will not bear their weight.
The Indian sparrow is equally inge-
NOUS. She makes her nest of grass,
which she weaves like cloth and in the
shape of a bottle. Then she covers
the outside with firefiies to scare away
the bats that prey upon her young
ones.
The oriole of North America makes
its nest of hemp, woven like cloth.
The nincDine IF Africa is called the
felt bird, because it makes its nest
in the style usually adopted by felt
makers.

DOG That Husks Corn.

One of the latest novelties that has
come from the banks of the Wabash
is a real live dog that can husk corn.
This intelligent and Industrious beast
is the property of Joseph Diffen baugh,
who lives on the Stevens farm, near
Andrews. ILL., This corn husker is a
nine months old pup, who watched Mr..
Diffenbaugh husk corn for few days
and then stated out on his own hook,
tearing the corn from the ears with
more ease and speed than the
ordinary farm hand. He wasn't
very careful in piling the corn
and the husks, but he stripped
the husks clean. This unique corn husk-
ec then followed the men to the
field and did work right along with
them, and seemed to enjoy his novel
situa ton as much as the water spaniel
does hunting.

Pour q very thin layer of water into

two, the fibers of wood that are bent
but not broken will absorb enough
water to make them swell, and that
will cause them to make an effort to
straighten out. AS they do this, they
