Breaking a Wishbone.

The dvinins rod is a feature in all
early mythology, especially so among
the Hindoos. As the forked branch OF
a tree it indicated in various parts of
Europe, Asia and Africa where treas
ures were hidden or where water might
be readily found. From the forked
branch of a tree it was but step to
the forked clavicle of a bird, and this
bone was soon invested with the power
Of securing the qualification Of the
wishes Of those who in breaking it re-
tanned the forked part, for it was the
fork that was possessed Of mystic
power.

Odd Street Namea.

In Clerkenwell. England, there is a
street called Picked Egg walk It
takes its name from Picked Egg tav-
ern, which formerly stood there and
made a speciality Of serving picked
eggs. An interesting London thorough
fare Is Hanging Sword alley, which
Is mentioned in Dickens tale Of Two
Cities" London has also Pickleber-
ring street In Leicester Is a street
called the holy Bones and another
called Gallows Tree Gate. Hull has
a street with the extraordinary name,
the Land Of Green Ginger. Corydon
has a street named Pump Pail. and
there some years ago lived Peter Pottie,
a dealer In furniture. The most daring
Of farce writer's might well have heh-
tated to invent combination Of name
and address so improbable as that
which really belonged to Peter Pottle
Of Pump Pail.

?, Does John G. Capers believe in eating
with negroes? In other words, would hi
do so? People who have heretofore re
garded him as a white man and socla
equal would like for him to answer thi:
question.

We do not think that any one vii. deny
but that Bamberg has been steadily going
forward during the past year. Signs Of
Improvement are to be seen on every
hand. But we should make still greater
strides during the year 1904: There is
work for Us all to do and we must do il
!: if the town is to continue to grow and
prosper.
John G. Capers says that he was not at
the Hanna banquet, and consequently did
not eat with the negro Lyons. What
South Carolinians, among whom he was
born and reared, want to know is wheth'
er he would have sat at table with a
negro. His views on social equality will

LYNCH LAW IN GENERAL

As to the broader question OF lynching
and kindred disorders, most OF the cur
rent discussion has been singularly lack
ing in the sense of historical perspective.
Lynching in this country has been partly
incident to the rough-and-ready phases
of the pioneering development of our
great West, and partly due to similar
causes in the South and Southwest, plus
the social disturbances resulting-()
from the devastations and violence of the
war period, (2) from the terrible frictions
following the breakup of the system Of
slavery, and (3) from the hideous wrongs
and mistakes of the reconstruction era.
Lynching itself is not growing more fire.
quent in the United States, but on the
contrary, is diminishing both absolutely
and relatively. Furthermore, the dis
turbed social conditions out OF which
lyncIing and other like disorders grow
are gradually rectifying themselves.
There is no specific remedy for the lynch
ing evil; but there Is general remedy
namely, the progress of civilization. The
current discussion will serve a useful
end, not because it will lead to the inven-
ton OF new ways to deal with criminals,
but chiefly because it will help to arouse
the conscience Of the country and to
deepen the conviction that the cause Of
civilization is worth making sacrifices for.
Governor Durbin showed excellent quail
ties of courage and promptness in his
suppression of the Evansville mob. For
tunately, We have other governors, sew
eral of them in the Southern States, who
are constantly showing precisely the
same quality of vigilance and courage,
directed to the same end.-From "The
Progress of the World" in the American

SENATOR'S AGREE
Senator'S Ball and Alice Aqree
on a Chaplain
PLACE FOR REV. NORTHRUP

Delaware's two senators have agreed Oh
at least ore thing, and it is recorded that
even President Roosevelt is amazed at the
unaninity of the two senators, who fire.
quently have aired their difference before
! him.
AS result of their unity, Delaware
minister will probably get snug berth
in the government service as chaplain.
He is the Rev. Van P Northrup, pastor
! of the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Clayton, who formerly was stationed at
Madeley Church in Wilmington and also
at Delaware City.
Sometime ago some of his friends
thought it would be nice to get the Rev.
Mr. Northrup a position as chaplain, pos
sibly in the army service. When Sena-
tor Alice was spoken to about the matter
he said he had no objection to recon-
mending Mr. Northrup for the post OF
chaplain. One of those who called on
the senator in behalf of Mr.. Northrup
was the Rev. R. II. Adams, pastor of In
ion NJ. E. Church. When Senators Alice
and Ball were comforting with President
Roosevelt about the district attorneyship
few days ago Senator Alice remarked to
Senator Ball that he would like to have
Mr.. Northrup appointed chaplain. Sen
ator Ball offered no objection
When the President realized that the
two senators were not going to squabble
over this appointment he uplifted his
hands in amazement and exclaimed:
"At last you two have agreed on one
thing. l shall take pleasure in appoint
ing your man."
The Rev. Mr.. Northrup has not yet
been appointed, but his friends expect
that they soon will be.
The Presbytery of New Castle convened
Tuesday in the Presbyterian Church in

Another mysterious death occurred at
Brenford early Sunday morning. 1t was
that of Charles Moore, 45 years old and
native of near Brenford. Moore had
gone to Clayton Saturday night and when
he left there for his home, he was seen to
be in an intoxicated condition. He was
not seen after that until Sunday morning,
when his mutilated body was found lay
ing beside the Delaware railroad tracks.
He is supposed to have fallen asleep on
the track an that one of the numerous
fruit trains ran over him, instantly kill
ing him. Coroner Abbott held an inquest
over his remains, and the jury rendered

THE FIGHT
HAS BEGUN
To Break Up Excessive Ex-
press Charges In Delaware
AGENT HELD UNDER BAIL

Following closely in the wake of the
publication of "The Octopus" in last
weeks Ne~s, comes another action the
outcome of which is intended to break
up extortionate express charges in Della
ware.
The following charge was made by
Walter Morris, cashier of the Farmers
Bank, that;-"one Walter Warrington,
agent for the Adams Express Company
with office located at Dover, DEL, did
unlawfuly charge and receive for the
transportation of certain matter, a greater
or large amount of money than was
charged by said Adams Express Company
or its agent, prior to the passage of chap
ter 46l, Vol. Is, Laws OF Delaware, for
like services; thereby violating Sec. of
said chapter of the Laws of Delaware"
The law is quoted below as follows:
Sec. f. That it shall be unlawful for
any express company, firm or individual
doing an express bushes in this State
after the passage of this act, to charge or
receive any greater or larger amount for
the transportation of any matter or thing
whatsoever than is now charged by such
express company, firm or indivual for
like service. And if any agent or officer
OF any express company, firm or individ-
ual doing an express business within
this State shall charge or receive for the
transportation of any matter or thing
whatsoever, greater or larger amount
than was charged by such express com
pany, firm or individual prior to the pas
sage of this act for a like service, such
agent shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof, by indict-
ment, shall be fined not less than one
hundred dollars, nor more than five hun
dred dollars, besides costs; and for any
second offense shall in addition to such
fine and costs be imprisoned not less than
six months nor more than one year.
"Mr. Morris, backed by The Ners and
by several prominent men of our State,
brought the charge which has thrown
the case into court.
esquire Wood held Mr.. Warrington
under 5000 bail to answer before court and
the case is now in Attorney General
Wards hands.
"a second charge was also brought,
which makes the offense criminal, and
holds Mr.. Warrington liable to imprison-
ment if convicted.
There was no other way in which to
reach the express company, as will be
seen by the law quoted above.
Any citizen of Delaware can bring sim
liar charges against any express agent in
this State, before a squire or court of JUS
tice. The only precaution to take being
to be certain that you are being charged
higher rate than you paid in 1889, when
the law under which this test case is
brought was passed.
'We can whip the express company
only by making it so warm for their
agents that they will be unable to secure
agents willing to run the risk of imprison-
ment. "-DeiaWore State NeuS, Dover, Del.
