New Castle, April 9-Because there
is no constable in RedsLion hundred
Justice is imperative and vtolaters
snap their fingers in the laws face
This is partially brought about by
the failure OF a duly elected constable
TO qualify By filing his bonds, but
more particularly has Il been due ia
the fact that the constable lives so far
from New Castle that it was incon-
venient to send for him when his SER
vices were needed
Frank l.. Cleaver, Of Delaware CITY
was reelected TO the Office of con-
stable this spring and he has FIVE dsys
more In which to file his bond, IN de-
fault Of which the Office will be de-
clared vacant.
A constable Is needed badly in this
city. There are now fifteen untried
cases on Magistrate Teary's docket
one Of which dates back 70 the be-
ginning OF December last.
Warrants cannot be served because
there is no duly authorized officer ia
serve them. Some OF the defendants
in the cases have long since left the
neighborhood and others cannot be
brought before the magistrate for a
hearing. IN consequence OF which the
various charges go by default
A number OF charges preferred be-
fore the magistrate have had to be
ignored because Of the existing state
OF affairs. More particularly is this
the case in the instance of civil suits,
as no officer who is not bonded can
serve warrants I'm such cases.
A few warrants sworn out In Grim
inal cases have been served by one Of
the citys police officers, who was
deputized by the magistrate to per-

done In the city. but where such work
the officer TO go outside of
town IL is not practicable, for IL calls
him away from his regular duty.
There seems 10 be no way out Of this
dihiculty, as the fees received by a
constable are so trivial that there is
no inducement for men to seek the
Office.
Exploding Lamp Causes Damage.
While attempting to refill lighted
lamp at her home on Wednesday even-
ing, Mrs. James Mcguire narrowly es-
capped being seriously burned by the
exploding oil. Fortunately she evaded
the flying fluid which set fire to the
table cover and the mating and burned
them to a crisp before members Of the
family succeeded in extinguishing the
flames. No serious damage was done,
but the family was considerably fright
ened by the accident
Shad Beginning to Come.
shad are now beginning to make
their appearance in the river here in
great numbers although they are far
from being plentiful. A catch Of 34O
was brought here yesterday by a party
of fishermen, who had been down the
river for a few days. William Pustle
also succeeded in landing a creditable
catch yesterday. Il aggregated AZ
fish, although they were not all caught
the same day. David Smith had 81
shad tailed up TO his credit yester-
day, and several others made substan-
nial gains over their former catches Of
fhe past few days.

PITY.

William H. Taft lectured recently In

Taft remarked, at he end of his lee
ture, that there was too much senti
mental pity in the world.
"People-the poorest and mos
wretched people-are happier thar
we think for, as rule" he said. "TC

Proved II to the Raromstsr.

A sheep farmer in the Cheviot hills
had been told that 1t was useful to
have barometer in the house, for it
would let him know when the weather
would be good or bad. He was &C.
cordingly persuaded to procure a per-
curial instrument with a large round
dial, which he hung up in his lobby.
and duly consulted every day without
much edification. At last there came
a spell Of rainy weather, while the
barometer marked set fair" The
rain continued to fall heavily, and
still the hand on the dial made no
sign of truth. At last he took the
instrument from its nail and marched
with 1t to the bottom of the garden,
where a burn, swollen with the drain
age of the higher slopes, was rushing
along, brown and muddy. He then
thrust the glass into the water, ex.
claiming, "Will you believe your ain

and applies to the present political

around the track in 2:40 and had
beaten everything in sight.
Its owner brought the stallion up

DWARF TREES IN JAPAN.
One 10 Inches High May Be 900
Years Old and Worth $3.50.

Years Old and Worth S15O.
A Japanese nursery garden Is a
revelation. There, ON benches, in
rows. sit tortured trees in their bowls
or pans of faience. Their perfection
is marvel of patience, requiring
years for its accomplishment; some
times one man will give as much as
30 years attention to single little
cherry tree.
Each curve, each leaf, each twlg
has its direction and proportion regu-
lated by the most rigid and immemor-
lal principles, and to have any value
in Japanese eyes dwarf must con-
form absolutely to the iron rules laid
down by the canons of taste in the
days when Iyeyasu Tokugawa para
lyzed into an adamantine immobility
the whole artistic and intellectual life
Of the country.
The effect Is, OF course, exquisite in
its elaborate and rather morbid beau
ty. But it must be said that there
are many dwarfs, very many, which
go for low prices, owing to the imper-
lection of their development; they
have bough or a bend that is not
prescribed.
Consequently the Japanese will buy
them-indeed, with pleasure-but will
not admit their claims to be works Of
art.

west entirely fails to see any differ
ence between a perfect specimen 10

Did She Get III

Andrew Carnegie receives each
week from twenty-five to fifty re.
quests for autographs. The re.
quests, as a rule are written in a dull
and commonplace way. but now and
then one comes that causes Mr.. Car.
negie to smile.
He smile broadly over such one
last month, just before he set out for
Scotland. It was letter from a
schoolgirl Of thirteen, and, after ask.
ing for an autograph in the usual form,
she ended with these willy words:
"If you think that this request is
unwarranted on my part, please send
your refusal in your own handwriting,
and with your own signature so that
| may know It is authentic"
