History Of the Remarkable
Political Conditions Which
Have Existed in the State
Of Delaware for Nearly
Fifteen Years and Now
Producing a Senatorial
Deadlock.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. ga sit
uation unprecedented in political his
tory exists in Delaware.
For almost thirteen years j. Edward
Addicks has fought for seat in the
United States senate. Although he is
g. Republican he was responsible for
the election of a Democrat to the sem
ate. AS a result Of his firm determi-
nation to win out in his odd fight, Del
aware has been without senators since
1901.
Addicks has split the Republican
party here into two factions. The Ad-
dicks branch calls itself the Union Re-
publican party
The next chapter in this remarkable
fight will be written at the session Of
the general assembly this month. Then
II there are enough Republicans with
sufficient courage to stand against Ad-
dicks they can prevent his election for
the fourth time.
Story of Addicks' Fight.
The story Of Addicks' long fight Is
perhaps the most remarkable political
chapter in the history Of the state-or
perhaps Of any state. It was about
1:30 a, m. on Jan. l, 1889, when Addicks
and two or three friends from Boston
reached Dover on the train from Phila-
delphia. They entered the Hotel Rich
ardson, and there found in the lobby
TWO OF Inree men, among them news
paper correspondent.
To these men Addicks was intro
duced by his friends from Boston.
Then and there he made a statement
to this effect:
II have just returned from Europe,
and have learned that the Republicans
have control Of the legislature. I'M
derstand that they may have some
trouble in electing a United States SEN
ator. If they cannot decide on a man
they might elect me, and will settle
for 1t afterward.''
He was asked later in the day to ex-
plain himself further, and then he said,
If memory serves Alright, through one
Of his Boston friends:
Il am extremely interested in the Re
publican party of Delaware, and espe-
cially just now in the matter of SEN
ator. I am not a candidate at present.

SURE TO OCCUR.

Judge Pennypacker in a public
address once predicted certain popu-
lar movement as sure to occur within
a given time. A friend asked the
judge if it were not rash to make a
positive statement regarding specific
date for any occurrence. arguing that
nothing is certain. In reply the judge
told of Celtic cook who asked her
mistress one Monday for leave of ab-
sence the following Sunday to attend
her brothers funeral.
"Why," exclaimed the mistress,
"this is only Monday! Surely, no.
body's going to keep a dead body
whole week!
"He's not dead yet, num- explain
ed the cook.
"No! We, be may die today or
he may live month. No doctor can
safely say that a person will die at
such time that day may be set for
the funeral.
"The doctors notnin' to do with it
num-" was the further explanation.
"Oi'm sure Sunday'll be all right; f'r

LIFE GUARDS.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part Of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud Of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes Of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influ-
enza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia
do in the stormy month of March.
The best way that we know of to
guard against these diseases is TO
strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all life
guards. 1t removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions,
and imparts genial warmth to the
blood. Remember the weaker the
system the greater the exposure to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the system strong.

You say you are bachelor,
And willing, quite, to marry:
Then to some girl the question pop
Why do you lag and tarry?
Are you afraid to ask her,
For far she will say "Nay?"
Or is it cause you're hard to please
You're putting Off the day?
Then, be sure it will be harder,
As days, months, years pass by
As you get older, uglier,
The girls from you Will fly.

Mormon Church was nominated for United

There are fifty republicans in the legis-

forty-nine members. No name but Smoot' S
was presented, and from the time the eau
Gus was called to order to its adjourn
ment the mention of Shoots name was
received with cheers. The apostle was
nominated as the peer of any man In the

speakers indirectly scored the alleged In

and declared that Utah was able to select
its own senators without advice from the
outside. The anti-Smoot people will now
organize to meet him at the door Of the

association and woman's club in the country
has joined the fight against Smoot.
