There are two indictments still re-
maining against DeLucca. and the first

securing naturalization papers for An
tonic Slrduccio and Atnonio De Mai
hew.
Sarduccio in his testimony sw0re
that he lived at Avondale for one year
next preceding january IL. 1902, at
which time he received his naturaliza-
tion papers. He said he saw DeI.ncca
in Wilmington about that time but
never saw him before. The defend
ant secured the papers for both the
witness and Di Mathew. The witness
paid DeLucca $3.50 at the time. but
did not get his papers until later.
Sarduccio was on the stand when
the trial WAS resumed this morning.
and was cross-exannined by the defend
ants lawyers. In the cross-examina-
tion the witness said that he had seen
Agent PeeSe, or the Secret Service
only once, and at that time gave the Of
ficer his naturalization papers. After
DeLucca was arrested he called on the
witness and told the latter to say thar
he OSarduccio) had worked in the
Bellevue quarries. The witness said he
never worked there, nor did he know
where the place WAS At the trial OF
DcLucca last September the witness
said that De Lucca and a Joseph Va
nucci had told him (the witness) to
swear falsely relative to coming to
Wilmington, which he did. He fur
ther said that II his testimony was
false at that time. it was the truth
now.
Di Mathew was the next witness call
ed, and he testified that he lived in
Avondale dae year preceding January
II, 1902 He got his papers at that
time. His evidence was in effect sim
liar to Sarduccio's, with the exception
that he paid De.-ucca IS for his pa
pers, when Sarduccio only payed $3.50
The witness, upon cross examination
by Judge Ball. said that Vanucci and
4 DeLucca took him into a lawyers Of
/ fee. and the lawyer told him (Di Mai
hew) to tell the truth. but Vanucc
/ and DE Lucca Objected TO him (the wit
ness) telling the truth. Da Mathew
further said that on another occasion
Vanucci grabbed him by the coat and
threatened to kill him unless he swore
as Vanucci told him to- He is still
afraid because of the threats made
by the latter. The witness was still OF
the stand when the court took a re-
l cess until this afternoon.

He Takes Our Paper Now.

A man who was too stingy to sub
scribe for a paper borrowed a Maine
story.paper and found that by sending
one dollar to a Yankee be could get q
cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he

turnips successfully. He found out

sent 81 one-cent stamps to a Chicago
firm to learn how to make an impress
sion. When the answer came 1t read,
"Slt down on pan OF dough-" That
was a little tough, but he was pa
tient man, and thought he would yet
succeed. The next advertisement he
answered read: "How to double your
money in six months" He was told to
convert his money into bills fold them
and he would see his money double.
, The next time he sent for twelve USE
fll household articles and got pack
aRe of-needles.' He was slow to learn
SO he sent a dollar to find out chow to
get rich"-"Work like the devil and
never spend a cent" That stopped
him, but his brother wrote to find out
how to write a letter without pen or
ink. He was told to use a pencil.
He paid five dollars to learn to live
without work, and was told on a postal
card to fish for suckers, as we do. "
He takes his home paper now and is

The Worlds Golden Age.

st. Louis Globe. Democrat: In 1908
the world will see produced larger
amount of gold than ever before in
all its history. There is a probability
however. that the United States will
not hold the first place this year in
the list of producing countries. In
1902 the gold output of this country
was placed at nearly $Sl, 900, 1000 by the
director Of the mint, though some
other authorities put in higher 6g-
ure. Nearly $S,OOO,000 of this amount
was from Alaska, chiefly from the
Nome district. The Klondike's out
put in 1902 was a little over $4,000,
000 which was a large decrease from
1901. While the last named locality
is likely to decline instead of increase
in 1908, the outlook from the United
States is tOlerably certain to 60 above
l802'S mark.
1t is 10 the rest of the world, chiefly
South Africa, that the greater part of
the gold gain for 1903 will be scored
The higeSt mark ever touched by the
single year was in 1899, when 1t
amounted to 1907 100000. Estimates
made about the middle of that year
put the production of 1900 at about
$3.50, 900, 900, and that of 1901 at $780,
100000 Something not foreSeen at
he time put these figures far aStray.
The British BOer war, which started
October, 1899, shut up the mines In
he TranSvaal, the most prolific gold
ield, of the world and they remained
closed until peace came in May, 1902.
The TranSvaal's gold output in the
nine months of 1899 was about $780,.
100000 and this helped to swell the
worlds product for the whole year to
1907, 100000 The shutting off of the
supply from South Africa cut down
the worlds product in 1900 and 1901 to
about 225,000,O0O in each year, but
that of 1902 was close to the $500 ,OOO,.

Trying To Be Somebody Else.

One of the greatest enemies of con.
tentment and real happiness is habit
of comparing ourselves with Others
comparing financial conditions, posi-
bIlitieS, homes, environments.
1t is a strong man who dareS to be
himself, who does not envy others, and
? who can see his neighhOrs grow pros
porous while he only makes good
living. This constant comparing I'M
settles character, and makes one dis
satisfied with his lot.
One of the greatest triumphS for an
ambitious young man is to learn to be
&7tented, to be satisfied with doing
ago0d honest days work: to be con-
tented to live humbly, if necessary,
while his neighbors roll in wealth.
A burning desire to fill high place
to do something unusual to attract
public attention, to do that which
must be accomplished with tremend-
uouS strain and stress of the faculties
"a stralning after effect, this NOR
bid ambition is one Of the curses Of
the age.
No one can live true life who
measures its worth by what others
do, or think, or say. Be content to be
yourself, to be self-controled. Con-
tentment, after doing ones level best,
brings poiSe and sweetness into the
life, a balance to the character, which
can never develop under festering
over-anxIOus, abnormal ambition.
The man who is always trimming
his sails,-backing and apologlzing
because he has not been able to do
this or that, who is not content to be
himself, who is always trying to be
somebody else, will never develop a
strong character.
The world admireS man Of bal
ance, one who is equipOiSed, who is
self-sutiicient, who believes in him
self trusts himself, who does not
cover, whine, or apologize, but stands
erect and dares to live bis own Greco.
The world instinctively hates the
trimmer, the man who fawns, the
man OF "ifs" and butts" 1t likes a
straight, clean-cut article, without
