GOSSIP ABOUT SOME PEOPLE

No man in Delaware has done more
for the National Guard than Adjutant
General l. Pusey Wickersham. For
twenty-five years he has been MEM
Der of the organization and during that
time the best interests Of the citizen
soldiers has always been a hobby with
him. That the guard has reached its
present efficient state can be traced
back to his efforts. At the close Of the
camp at Coochs Bridge last Saturday
every officer in the regiment called
upon General Wickersham in a body
and he was told how they appreciated
his efforts.
The success Of the Wilmington, New
Castle and Southern railway is in no

NEWARK HAS UNIQUE
AND CREDITABLE FAIR
Money for a New Public
Library Being Secured in
Novel Manner

If the people Of Newark DO not obtain
a public library with well filled shelves
and far reaching influence il will not be
the fault of those who are now iaboring
so industriously for such an institution.
Concluding with this evening a country
fair on the campus of Delaware College
will have netted "A snug sum for the be-
ginning Of the library, which has been a
cherished desire of many for a long
time.
There is no reason why the fair should
not have brought many dollars for the
worthy cause. From every standpoint it
was a success. but particularly so on
account Of its unique features, which must
have required much thought and certainly
a great deal Of work.
The pike" was the centre of .attrac-
ton. 1T was composed Of a row Of army
tents on either side Of the broad walk
from the gate to the college building. In
these tents were side shows, too numer-
Gus to mention, but each wei, worth the
admission. Dressed in fantastic and lu.
dicrous attire were Newarks most prom
inent citizens. whose zest in the affair
has made it what it is, one Of the most
unique and creditable of its kind ever held
in Delaware.
Without doubt, the campiis Of old Deia-
ware has been the scene OF many Jolly
gatherings and noisy fetes. but never In
the history of the imposing buildings has
there resounded such a din. A laughter
mingled with the footing of horns Of
horns and cries Of the "barkers" as they
called out the attractions in their various
tents and the stately old trees shook their
head as though in hearty accord with the
merry-making.

Every Republican in Delaware. who
is a candidate and has intelligence and
character has made up his mind as to
the nature and worth OF each party;
and after election, II ne is honest IN
his opinions. he is certain to favor one
side or the other. To name somebody
who has not expressed opinions either
way is TO name a weakllng or de-
ceiver. and our Chief Executive should
be neither.
For example a Republican member
OF the Legislature when the Voters
Assistant law was first under consider
alton, not only left his colleagues and
refused to vote for il. but he refused
TO even discuss Il. He had positive
opinions. Two years ago Senator Con-
nor when a hin to repeal that law was
under discussion frankly declared he
favored the law because '1t insured the
delivery Of the goods" Now let us
imagine a third man who has never
allowed word to escape him on the
merits Of this law. and among them
which one had you rather choose for
an executive Officer
Any man who has a grain OF manli-
ness had rather support even Senator
Connor than the man who has held
his tongue and played for advantage

us know where every man stands II
they are to be Regulars, let them be
frankly Regular; II they are to be Ad-
dicks men let them stand out and pro-
claim their loyalty, and then we shall

much Of it in bad temper. our
people have finally emerged with
a conclusion on one phase Of the Otto
gas franchise proposition. Both trade
organizations and all the newspapers
have decided that il the engine works
wants a gas franchise Il win have to
make formal application for il to the
only body competent TO grant it, before
the people Of wilmington can take
sides in the matter. II is with some
satisfaction that we call attention to
the fact that the attitude now so gener-
ally assumed was first suggested by
The Evening Journal on July 25 we
said:
Our citizens cannot grant fran
chise, and they cannot logically
favor the granting Of a franchise
until its nature is made known.
There is not a thing anybody can do
tiil the Otto people ask the Street
and Sewer Commission for fran
ehisei and then we shall have
something before US.
On July 2s we continued:
Now how can we inteliigently. =.

franchise until we know something
about its terms? And what knowl-
edge Of its terms equals that which

following resolution.
Resolved, That, having regard to
what is believed to be the proper
province Of the Board of Trade.
this meeting respectfully represents
to the Otto Gas Engine Works, the
propriety Of making in due form
their application for such a fran
chise as they desire to the Street

Hyomei Cures catarrh Without DAN
gerous Drussins Of the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered has
II been possible to truthfully say that
a remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times day, and during that time every
particle OF air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with
the germ killing and health giving
Hyomei. II is the only treatment that
cures catlrrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a per-
manent cure Of catarrh. Hyomei not
only Kills the germs IN the throat and
nose but penetrates TO the minutest
air cells i'm the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs I'm the blood. IL frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.

includes an inhaler dropper and sufic-
lent Hyomei for sevral weeks treat

return the money TO any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.
