The Amazing Chadwick Case.

e IS T. . . +. Z . . by
The successive revelations in the ca
reer of Mrs, Cassie Chadwick read like a
serial story written by one of those mas
ters of romance who know how to sustain
the interest OF the reader while suspend
ing the denouement.
A keen Yankee lawyer sues to recover
from woman loan of 800, 800 because
he has become doubtful of the security.
1t becomes known that the woman has a
past. Then that she owes hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Her lawyer asserts
that she has $1,000, 900 in excess of
doRts. A bank fails; its president and
cashier not only lose their own fortunes,
but are arrested for making illegal loans
to her. 1t is whispered that the name of
Andrew Carnege is on notes for $3.50, 900
on which Mrs. Chadwick got real
money. Mr.. Carnegie declares that his
name has been forged. The dupes re-
veal that the woman had represented
him to bo her father. The treasurer of
another bank, who had lost his own
estate and innocently assisted her in her
operations, says that no believed her
stories of vast wealth. Her 'seouritiesn
are found to boa bogus deed of trust
and mythical paper for $40, 900, 600. An
ex-Judge of New York confesses that
she duped him. Pittsburg niillionaires
are said to have been feeced of nearly a
million. She ovorrulos her lawyers and
starts for Cleveland after warning her
husband to keep away. The entire po-
lice force of Cleveland is ordered out to
prevent possible mob violence. She ar
rives and is taken to prison in the same
State whore she has succeeded in erect
ing this gigantic fabric of fraud in spite
of the fact that she has already beon
convict in one of it's prisons.
Thus incident follows incident, interest
grows, tho plot thickens, more dupes ap-
pear, the heroine reveals new qualities,
nnsuspected characteristics, unrivaled
boldness. He would be rash man who
should attempt to foretell what the end
will be.--New York World, December 10.

Don't forget the old man
with the fish on his back.
For nearly thirty years he
has been travelling around the

bringing health and comfort

To all weak and sickly
children he gives rich and
strengthening food.
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and

grown up and have children
of their own.

RIors Ar sT. PErERsnuRo.

THE rioting in ST. Petersburg yes
4 terday has an ominous look. The
great demonstration Of the masses,
demanding a liberal government and
an end to the war shows the temper
Of the people. It is also signifoan,
that they have the courage to express
themselves thus openly.
OF course this may be regarded as
a mere bit Of disorder that might have
occurred anywhere. but taken in con-
nection with the recommendation OF
the zemstavos and their denial. it i:
possible that it is the sign Of the
breaking out Of a discomfort that Sc
long has been suppressed.
II is possible. too, that this defianc,
Of the authorities may encourage tn,
discontented elements, and as the wal
continues and new ievies OF troops arr
called for. every day this may be bu
the prelude to greater manifestation o
defiance Of imperial authority. Rus
sia's troubles at home are only be
ginning.

This Years Immigration.

From the Cincinnati Tlmes-Star.
once more Uncle Sans immigration
station at Ellis Island has been swamp
ed by the inflow OF newcomers from
the Old World. At one time last week
the detention quarters of the station
were crowded with more than 5000 im-
migrants, while two great steamships
laden with several thousand more, were
held I'm the bay until room could be
made for the latest arrivals on the
islands. And stil tho stream rolls in!
II is a threatening torrent, and one that
presents problems Of the gravest mo-
ment for the future Of the Republic.
The rate war between the great At
lantlc transport companies which was
In progress during a considerable por-
tlon Of the year and which is nearing Its
close had its natural effect upon immi-
grafton into this country. The big
steamship lines cut their steerage rates
to a merely nominal figure, and their
agents secured the Continent to crowd
the west-ward- bound liners with inn
migrants at these reduced rates. Steam
ship companies are not deeply interest
ed IN the future OF the United States,
and money Is OF far more Importance
TO them than quality of immigration
into this country. Their agents travel
Ing over the Continent offered all sorts
Of promises TO prospective immigrants
cheap rates and a wonderful land across
the seas, where golden apples grow on
trees and license is not distinguished by
law from liberty AS a reailt Of the en-
deavors OF the steamship companies the
immigration into the United states dur
ing the past eleven months has not only
been great IN volume, but low in quail
lty. Some Of the immigrants who come
10 America under such circumstances do
we'll; others are disappointed, but re-
main, crowdlng the great cities and
swelling the list Of the discontented.
America is playing with fate In al
lowing more than a million immigrants
from the countries Of Southeastern Eu-
rope to land on her shores every year,
This countrys power of assimilation
has been great in the past. This re-
markahle power was never tested by
the excellent Irish and German immi-
grafton Of the nineteenth century, how
ever, as Il will be tested during the
twentieth by questionable immigration
| from Southeastern Europe.

and Il Is altogether probable that in the
future q still larger drift OF money from
this country 10 the Dominion win take
place.
II is a most natural thing under any
circumstances. but especially so in view
Of the fact that the Canadian Government
contemplates a change in it's tarin that
will place American manufacturers at a
disadvantage in competition with those OF
England. That Is the policy which the
present Dominion Government has IN view
and which there is every reason TO eX-
pect will be carried out. In that event
more American capital will undoubtedly
go to the Dominion for investment in in
dustrial enterprises. The advocates of a
reciprocity arrangement with our north
ern reighbor urge that this Is the only
way in which we can head off an attack
upon our exports Of manufactures TO that
country and retain the trade we now have
there. IL is manlfestly q very important
question, and at this time its dtermina-
tion seems TO rest rather with us than
with Canada. That is 10 say, tho Domin-
ion appears 10 be quite independent, 4

PLANT TRANSFORMATION.

TT A MAN who makes two blades OF
Il grass grow where one grew be-
fore is a benefactor OF the race, then
one who transforms plants and fruits,

worthy Of especial consideration.
Luther Burbank OF California has
succeeded in developing a new species
OF cactus devoid OF splnes and thorns.
and which It is predicted win soon be-
come the food for the great herds of
cattle that roam the western plains.
Cactus grows where no other plant is
found, and II the great deserts can be
covered with the new species, they
will become as productive as eastern
pasture lands.
Burbank IN his quiet way has ac-
eomplished wonders. He has so trans
formed plants and flowers by the pro-
cess Of selection and fertilization that
new and wonderful species have been
created. He has shown US a field OF
unlimited possibilities and it is prob
able that IL his ideas are taken up and
followed out, agriculture and horti-
culture will be transformed. Finer
varieties improved flavor, larger yields
and other desirable qualities are nos

THE newly-elected members Of the
\ Legislature are receiving a oer-
tain amount OF advice from the news
papers. but not half as much as is
customary during the month proceed
Ing the organization Of the two houses.
This cannot be construed into
apathy on the part Of the people, but IL
is probably due 70 the fact that there
is an impression that a higher grade
% membership than usual will mark
the next Generai-Assembly. There
are many measures that the people are
interested in. yet there Is a disposition
to refrain from pestering the members
before they have taken their seats and
have gotten comfortable.
Now Legislature such as ours,
where the members disperse almost
every night and go TO their respective
homes. is bound TO be in large meas
ure responsive the public will; and
therefore. when we know in genera
what the people OF Delaware want, W.
may form some idea OF what the Leg
islature viii do.
We think the people, regardless oi
faction or party want to see a session
devoted TO the business OF the state
We have elected a Governor who is
FIRST OF all a business man, and who
promises to attend TO his end Of lesis-
lation with sound judgement and dis
patch. Therefore. the General Assem-
bly, viii have every inducement TO get
to work early and expedite the busi-
ness which comes before II.
In order 70 do this. the people Of
this state want to see a United States
Senator elected early in the session.
We shall need our full representation
in washington; but aside from that
reason. We all realize that little win
be done until that result is accomplish
ed. A prolonged deadlock is a cal
amity. not so much because IL deprlves
us Of a Senator, and not altogether be-
cause It delays business but because
IT breeds deep animosities which de-
stroy that mutual confidence and re-
gard which are 30 necessary in secur-
ing wise legislation.
So the first thing to do after as
sembling in joint session is TO elect a
Senator. That is a duty we owe not
only to ourselves but to the nation
Then the Legislature, with deck,
cleared for action can devote the resi-
OF the session 10 real business. Le
everybody insist on this program.

ToIstol and the zemntvoIsts.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Count Leo Tolstol says the zemstvo
agitation in Russia is "a new obstacle
N the path OF progress" and that "one
sure result Of the whole matter will
be TO delay true social amelioratlon."
This Is a noteworthy declaration TO
come from the greatest OF Russian
novelists and social reformers. II VIII
lam u. Bryan or Professor Graham
Taylor or Miss Jane Addams-all dis
iples OF Tolstoi--had been asked II
he would favor the zemstvo agitation
or constitutional government in Rus
7la they unhesitatingly would have an
swered Yes"
The thousands Of Americans who
have read Tolstoi's book- with delight,
and who have assumed that he wos
looking forward TO constitutional
system OF government In Russia, would
have said that Count Tolstoi as a mat
ter Of course, would encourage and
support the zemstvoist movement.
However Count Tolstoi, being a
Russian rs well as a Christian Social
ST. shares the views Of the Russian
7ristooracy that n demand for con-
stitutlonal government for Russia
nnder present conditions IS obstruc-
tive OF real progress. He holds that
political agitation must have an in
furious effect that social improve
ment cannot be wrought by mere
change IN the form Of government, and
that the real uplifting of a people
socially and governmentally, can be
attained only through the religious and
moral regeneration OF all the individ-
uals constituting that people"

Editor OF The Evening Journal
The city by deed in fec holds title to
Fourth street from the Brandywine, at
Seventh street bridge, TO low water in the
Delaware. BY late statute its title (as
shore owner is extended 100 feet wide to
tho bulkhead line in the river. Owning
this portion Of the street under water, the
city has legal right TO I'LL, grade and re-
deem IT, the same as it has TO raise any
other street 10 grade. when a street is
projected into navigable water and raised
TO grade, that part over the water be-
comes both street and wharf.
There being no restriction in its chart
er the city can build a street-a wharf
on any land that it may hold for street
purposes The public have the same right
TO make a highway 70 reach shipping as
they have TO reach a railroad station, a
ferry or mercantile houses. A wharf at
the end Of a street is but part OF the
street itself
The right Of the city 10 extend Fourth
stree- into the river being complete, the
only questions now are: Has the city the
funds, and is the wharf desirableg The
city has the money or the means Of get
ting it If this work is Of sufficient urg-
ency.
II has been a pressing demand for years
that a river wharf be built whenever
practicable. Nothing but fogyism would
now say. that It was unnecessary. The
government has found It important to ex-
pend probably a million dollars In the
river fronting the central part OF the
city. This viii benefit our people arnaz'
ingly, and these benefits can be greatly
enhanced II We now throw IN our mite
and catch on to these advantages. The
government is building the bulkhead and
will oredge the channei and place the mud
behind the bulkhead. But IL will not come
ashore. build wharf for us. take us by
the hand, lead US to the channel, and
