-FennimOre Times: One re-
grettable feature of the moving
of the postoffice is the loss of his
job by Village Clerk VIM. Weaver
of carrying the mail to and from
the depot and postoffice. The
government used to have to hire
this done, but now the railro adj
company is compelled to do it,
this being regulated by the dis
lance the office is located from the
depot, and consequently the
agent and baggageman are at
tending to this duty. Mr.. Weaver
acted in this capacity for sixteen
years, and attended to the work so
faithfully that we believe there
never was a single complaint in all
that time.

HANDY REPLIES TO
REV. ELWOOj'S LETTER
Appeals for Votes on Ground
That He Will Prosecute
Corruptionists

Levin Irving Handy Democratic
nominee for Attorney General, has
forwarded the following letter to Rev.
Robert A. Elwood, the Prohibitionist,
in response TO an invitation TO appear
lat the opera House meeting on sun
day afternoon and give reasons why
Prohibitionists should support him for
Attorney General, the party having no
candidate of its own:
IL is not convenient for me to APP
pear at your meeting next Sunday af-
ternoon, and l. therefore. avail myself
Of the opportunity to present in writ
ling the reasons why Prohibitionists Of
Delaware should support me for At
torney- General ! will say by way Of
preliminary that / desire and solicit
/ their votes just as / desire and solicit
the votes of all law-abiding citizens Of
the State. This ! do on the ground OF
lgood citizenship not on the ground ~
political afiiliation; for i'm politics g.
am a Democrat. not a Prohlbitionist. ]
make my appeal on the ground that !
will, If elected. use all the power of the
Attorney Generals Office TO break up
and prevent vote buying ia Delaware.
To this end | shall seek the necessary
levidence TO bring before the bar Of the
court, IN accordance with Article "
of our Constitution, the respectable
rascals who raise huge campaign funds
and conspre TO corrupt the Delaware
electorate. l shall endeavor to make
vote buying as dangerous in Delaware
as chicken stealing.
For four years the sword Of Justice
has been sheathed so far as this class
of criminals is concerned. They have
been free from even the fear of prose-
cution, and corruption has, as con-
sequence, spread like gapgrene in an
old sore. II a get my hand upon the
hilt of,that sword ] propose to draw It
from its scabbard aud throw the scab-
bard away, believing that ] can render
no greater service to my generation in
this state than TO wage relentless war
fare on the political debauchery which
debases and disgraces us. The good
people Of Delaware, without regard to
partisan lines, have an opportunity to
elect an Attorney General pledged to

Sacred and Historic Tes-
lament Is Returned TO
the Italian Government.
Taken From AscOH Ca
thedraI
All Efforts to Discover
the Thief Said to be
High liz the Official
Circles, Has So Far
Failed

New York, Nov. 4.-The ancient &C.
clesiastieal cope which was stolen from
the cathedral of Ascoli, Italy two years
ago. and later purchased by ]. Pierpont
Morgan, has been presented to the Ital-
ian government by Mr.. Morgan. The
presentation was made through Baron
EdmondO Des PlanchsH the Italian
ambassador, who called by appoint
ment on Mr. Morgan in this city. The
cope is now in the Victoria and Albert
museum at South Kensington, Eng
land, to which it was loaned by Mr..
Morgan
In announcing that the precious relic
was TO be presented to his government,
Baron Des Planches paid a high COM
pliment to Mr.. Morgan, and said that
the importance Of the event from an
italian point OF view could not be over
estimated.
THE announcement will be received
with the keenest satisfaction by all
Italians said the ambassador. THE
delioaoy Of the situation which fol-
lowed the purchase of the cope by Mr.
Morgan was fully realized, and his vol
untary offer to present the relic to the
Italian government was gladly accept
ed. 1t was a most gracious act upon
Mr.. Morgans part, and will win for
him the gratitude Of the whole Italian
people"
The cope was presented by Pope
Nicholas ~ to Ascoli. his native place.
II is a French work Of the 18th century
and is one Of the finest specimens of
fetal art OF that period that have been
preserved.
Il was in 1902 that the cope was
stolen from the cathedral of Asooli
while repairs were being made on the
building. Every effort to trace 1t or
discover the thieves failed until last
July, when a letter appeared in the
Giornale d'Italia from Signor Ricci, the
director of the galleries Of Florence,
saying that the cope was on exhibition
at the South Kensington museum,
where 1t appeared as the property of
"a well-known American collector"
a month later a sensation was caused
at AscOli when Mgr Sanlarelli, the
rector. and several priests were sum
moned to appear before the court which
was investigating the theft of the cope
Two days later Rocchiggiani. a pho
tographer, who had been arrested in
connection with the case. had CON-
