He Was Identified.

i can pay you the money on this
check" said the paying teller OF the
bank
"An't the check good?" asked the
man on the other side Of the window.
"Oh, the checks all right but
don't know you. You must be identi-
fed, that is ALL"
'Whacs that2"
"Yolve got to get some one that
knows you and knows me to come here
and tell me you're the man this check
is made out to-"
The man took the check and with a
puzzled expression on his face left
the bank. Half an hour later the un-
identified man returned.
"The man what give me the check"
he said, "can't come. but he sent this
and says for you to give me the

He held up a large sheet Of paper.

I cannot o. X. his signature. The
man has an anchor tattooed on his
right forearm and powder marks or
the lobe of his ear. He smells oi
whiskey and can lick any man in youl
hank with one hand tied behind him.
The note was signed by the writer OF
the check. The teller was able tC
recognize the signature.
Hold up your hand" he said.
The man laid his hand over the trac-
ing on the paper and It fitted perfectly

"Show me the anchor" said ths
teller.

opinion Of a southern optimist,

From the New orleans Picayune.
That these Southern states OF ours will
become the seat OF a grand material de-
velopmont and "a splendid civilization
which will give them a political and ma
tefial power like unto that which the
South enjoyed In the first fifty years Of
the Republics existence will be but o
mere shadow OF greatness is sure. But It
must be borne in mind that wealth and
power come not by suplne Incidence and
waiting, but by seizing every opportunity
ana utilizing every resource TO the ut
most. Then only will the South realize the
highest grandeur OF its destiny.

Borrowed a Cart.

Garbage Contractor Martin Keogh tells
story at his own expense that is real
funny Sometime ago he borrowed a cart
from a colored teamster with the under
standing that he was to return 1t within
a week. The week rolled around but Con-
tractor Keogh still retained the cart, as
one he was having repaired was still in
the wheelwrlghts shop.

BISHOP PoTrER's PLAY.

VAT HEN a great church confers its
w dignities on a man she is not
giving him something to trade with and
TO commerclalize. And it makes no diff
ference whether ne profts personally or
lends his honors for others to trade
with.
It is for this reason that people an
over the country, and OF an denomina-
tions. deeply regret that the Bishop Of
New York has allowed the use OF his
name to advertise a saloon. and to have
it mentioned in that connection by mil.
lions Of people and paraded in ever,
newspaper
Now it is announced that this sam
Bishop intends 70 engage in the theat
rical business. A play win be present
ed and his name win be used as thong
he were its manager. The bills read
Bishop Potter presents the King
Highway" Yet everybody knows tina
this clergyman has no thought Of bein
business manager, that as stage man
ager he would be incompetent, and tina
ne is lending the use Of his title to ad
vertise the play. The object may b
priseworthy, but the means are ques
tionable.
The Bishop is not a dramatic expert
he has his own profession and there ar
plenty Of good actors. II the stag
needs elevation the reform must com
because Of tho men and women on tn
boards and those in front Of the foot
lights. People win not regard ecclesias
tical sanction in determining the
annusements.

He nressed the Duck.

There is a certain official in the city
who is especially fond OF duck, the
species that frequent barnyard ponds and
the day prior to Thanksgiving, purchased
ono for his bachelor dinner. Upon inspect
ing the fowl at his Office he found that It
had not been freed entirely from pin
feathers and he held II over a gas jet un-
I'll the fesh began to sizzle. A friend no.
ticing this advised the oficial TO cease the
operation lest he spoil tho duck. Accord
ingly he went 70 a stand procured his
razor and shaved the fowl This being ac-
complshed he ripped It open with the In
strument, cleaned II and poured 35 cents
worth Of oysters into its inside. Stitching
up the bird he took It to bake shop and
had Il cooked. Twas feast worthy Of a

STORIES OF THE DAY
wei Tied UP.

A woman from Hockessin. who drove
into Wilmington this week, asked a
man who was passing the place on
Ninth street where she desired to stop,
to hitch her horse. He did so. Instead
Of wrapping the strap around the tel
ephone pole he fastened it to one OF
the iron spikes, which are placed at in
tervals on the poles to permit linemen
to climb to the top. The man was a
tall one and when the little woman
came out from paying her call the strap
was about four feet above her head.
She tried 10 dlslodge 1t with the whip,
but 10 no avail Several small men
who were passing we're asked to assist,
but they could not reach the strap.
Finally a man tail enough to grasp it
came around the corner and 1t was un-
tied.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The Election and the Tariff.

From the New York Tribune.
Those who interpret the election az a
popular mandate for the maintenance
without any revision Of the present tariff
schedule seem to forget that the Repub-
lican party came before the people. not
avowing opposition to any change, but
demanding that whatever revision Of the
tariff might be needed should be made
by its friends Never did II profess to
see anything sacred in the present duties.
It stood firmly for the principle OF pro-
tection. and declared that the protective
principle must be maintained and that
the enemies of protection could not be
trusted 10 make any alterations which
might from time - time be needed, for

had been carefully gone over and the
best selected.
It was our impression that in reach-
ing decision the services Of two ex-
perts were engaged. one Of which was
Samuel NJ. Gray a water engineer Of
prominence. We were given to under
stand that in the opinion OF these en-
gineers, after considering our general
needs, the Rockiand project was re-
garded as the best, and that following
their Recommendation. Engineer Leisen
went ahead and prepared elaborate
plans and the Commission advertised
for bids.
Now il Is announced that Mr.. Gray,
the engineer, has been asked to come to
wilmington again, go over tho ground
and make another report. Is Il expect
ed that he will reverse himself? Or is
it true that his previous inspection was
confined to one project and that now
he is expected to confne himself to an
other2
We ask this, not IN a spirit OF hostile
criticism. but because these matters to
the average mind are obscure. 1t has
been ntimated that no project can be
undertaken without certain action by
the Legislature; If this is true, what
need Is there Of the services Of experts
at this time? 1t may be possible for a
person to understand all the ms and
outs Of this matter, but he would have
to devote his lie TO 1t.
