At the county hospital, Denver,
Colo, died recently Mrs. Mary
Gillespie at the age of Sc years,
regarded as one of the most re-
markable women of whom we
have any account. The woman
had been the mother of thirty
children, and what was strangest
of all they consisted of fifteen
pairs of twins.

" Bruddren and sistahs, "
sternly said good old Parson
Woollimon, after the collection
had been taken up upon a recent
Sabbath morning, "before de hat

The old style camp meeting is
being rapidly side-tracked these
new tangled days for the stilted
"protracted'' meeting which peo-
pie attend if they can find time
from household duties. With
business ringing in the heads of
the few men who go, and dinner
an anxious twitch in the
faces of the women, the Lord gets
little consideration i'm the
protracted meeting. In
the old days of long ago, once a
year the people dropped their .
secular business, and in some
cool. sequestered spot where
azy spring struggled through the
of a barrel, or dripped :
over the messy rim of IA sunken
)oX, an arbor was built, and :
lround it tents or temporary ,
of wood. A couple of
weeks was given over to service of 4
he Lord, and a campaign in
against the Devil. In
hose days none of these modern
lop-and-go-fetch-it ditties were 1
Jung, as now, but the good old :
hymns that stirred the heart and r
salvation down. The !

MIXING THINes uP.

THE letter of Dr. Chandler to the
Il Clerk Of the Peace, published I'm
The Evening Journal yesterday. caused
considerable discussion as to the exact
purpose of the displaced candidate. Ac-
cording TO the law on The subject. the
clerks Of the peace are expected to
place on the official ballot the tickets
certified by the officers Of the conven-
lions, or by the committees represent
Ing the respective rariy organizations.
Had the officers Of the Republican con-
vention certified the ticket nominated
lat Dover and had the state Commit
tee then certified the ticket as made
up ot the committee conferences. there
would have been a question for the'
courts
We gather from Or. chandler's letter
that his demand on the Clerk OF the
Peace is only a formality, intended as
a preliminary step TO some further and
more drastic action. II upon The re-
fusal Of Mr., Qulgley DIR. Chandler in
tends to invoke the aid of the courts
then we can only say that IT Is getting
very late in the campaign for such a
move. Possibly the matter might be
carried to court on mandamus or on
injunction proceedings but It Is very
doubtful whether the case could be
heard before election. And after cleo
tion, with the votes in the box and
the peoples wish made known. the
verdict could not be invaldated. For
to set aside such verdict In the abb
sence OF any provision for holding n
new election would mean anarchy And
Of course 10 deprive successful cam
didate Of the Office to which he was
elected and declare a minority candl-
date elected, would not be tolerated.
We fear then, that Dr. Chambers
move can only result i'm trouble. With
out accomplishing any useful purpose.
Had there been ample time to estab-
lish before some judicial tribunal
his actual status we should have well
coined such a move, but now that the
.ofiicial ballot has been printed aAd adj
vertlsed, a contest over the regularity
Of tickets can only confuse the voter
and add to the perplexties that are
already great enough.

Sweet Harmony.

From the Chicago Journal.
The most agreeable feature of the
campaign now closing, as it is also one
Of the most cheering signs Of the times,
is the entire absence of rancor from its
progress.
What contrast with the campaign
of 1900, when we We're arrayed in two
hostile lines pouring deadly hot shot
into each other and honestly believing
each other the arch enemy Of our COM
mon country.
DO you remember the perfervid pa
trlots that used to preach the new cru
sade on street corners and denounce
the wicked plutocrats who would take
US by the throats and squeeze the life
out Of us If Mckinley should be elect
ed? And the alarmed gentlemen with
invested funds who were secretly with
drawing them and making them imme-
diate assets i'm the safety deposit vault
because if that monster of a Bryan
should be elected we had better look out
for the second French revolution? And
the eloquent souls who advised that
Mark Hanna be boiled i'm oil for plotting
TO destroy the liberties of the people;
and the fluent folk who would have
Bryan hanged higher than Haman, as
an anarchist?
How queer those days see INTO us
now, when even Bryan is growing rich
and there is an era of general good feel
ing. Some of us want to elect Roose-
velt but we do not find it necessary,
therefore. to call Parker names; and
those of us who want to elett Parker
are willing to admit that Roosevelt has
some good points.

MIDDLETON SHADE
Trees WERE CUT DOWN
Miscreants Destroy Young
Trees That Were Pride of
Many Citizens
Special to The Evening Journal,

Middletown, Nov. 2-Middletown peo-
pie are up in arms regarding depreda-
tions to young trees in that town by
miscreants on Halloween night. Ev-
cry one Of the trees as far out as For
rest Cemetery were cut down and
broken off. The Town Council has Of
fered a reward of S25 for the arrest and
conviction Of the persons and everyone
who has the best interests of the town
at heart feels the matter deeply.
The trees were just beginning to be
OF sufficient size to be of some use as
shade and the progressive townpeople
were looking upon them with pride. In
few years they would have reached
their full growth and afforded an ave-
nue. of shade that would not have been
equalled in Delaware. Now they are
lying twisted and cut along the side
walks and Middletown. who has nur-
tured them for the past two years is
angry.
There is a suspicion that negroes, who
have received heavy fines for misde-
meanors, I'm a spirit of revenge have
committed the depredations. II they are
found out they will be dealt with vigor-
ously.

CAPTAIN DISMISSED
STEAMSHIP LIBELED
Government Changes Proceed
ure Against Man for
Dumping Ashes in River

on the recommendation of District At
torney John r. Nields, United States Com
missioner William c. Mahaffy yesterday
afternoon dismissed the case OF Captain
Henry Oclxelman of the steamship Tux
edo. charged with deposting ashes in the
Delaware river on Duck Creek flats.
Mr.. Nields gave as his reason for re-
questipg the discharge OF the captain, that
the government had other remedies tc
reach the case other than by prosecuting
the defendant He therefore had the case
against the captain dismissed and at once
filed a libel against the steamship. The
libel was served upon the vessel at tho
works of the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company by Deputy Marshal James L.
Hawkins.
The law provides a penalty of from 500
to $500 fine for dumping ashes and re-
fuse into the river and there Is also a
term OF Imprisonment provided in adj
ditlon to the fine.

EDITORIAL OPINION
sanitarium Cure Habit.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Victims Of the sanitarium habit, per-
sons whose health is at least fair, are
to be found i'm nearly every institu-
tion maintained for the treatment Of
invalids Such persons are for all prac-
tical purposes well, but imagine physi-
cal maladies to which they can lay no
just claim.
Having been accustomed to the
sheltered life Of the sanitarium, with
its daily round of coddlng, the patron
is loath to leave when restored to his
usual health. and If he is long on
money and short on will the chances
are that he will postpone his departure
again and again, until at last he set
Ties down with the full intention Of
remaining indefinitely.
The probabilities are that i'm order to
set himself right with his conscience
he will endeavor to make himself be-
ll.eve that he is still physically unfit to
play an active part i'm life, and natur-
Ially it is not to the interest of the
sanitarium's proprietor to have him un-
deceived.
BY far the great majority Of the VIC
Tins of the sanitarum habit are wo-
men. the feminine nature being espec-
Tally susceptible to coddling. When a
lsemi-invalid of the fair sex once gets
used to receiving a daily visit from a
soft-spoken physician who tenderly
holds her hands ana lavishes upon her
sympathy and advice, it is difficult for
her to go back to a life where such an
lexperience Is not always there to COM
inland at a moments notice.
Women, also. are prone to acquire a
,lmorbid habit of harping on their real
or fancied ailments. and no place pro-
vides such sympathetic listeners as a
lsanitarium.

TuRNINa ON A CRITIC.

FUDGE PARKER seems to think that
j the chief issue of this campaign is
Cortelyou. A man of presidential size
might have found some bigger and
broader issue Possibly at Esopus,
where he received delegations with
considerable informality these minor
issues of scrappy nature might be
forgiven. But Judge Parker was trotted
out the other night to appear before a
great New York audience, and this in
effect was his initial bow before the
great audience of the American people.
The expectation was great; here was
the author of the famous gold tele.
gram-the leader of his party. Surely
out OF the wreck and ruin Of his party
he would bring forth some central
truth to serve as the rallying cry of
Democracy in this campaign Wen,

Cortelyou has collected money for

Republican chairman to oblige him by

Senator Lodge is not disposed TO allow

Tho Making Of a Man.

From the Detroit Tribune.
A boy from the farm stood before
the judiciary Committee of the Board of
Education and made out case for
himself He set up an excuse for liv-
ing that appealed strongly to the other
Qualities in the makeup of the COM
mittee besides its judicial bent. He is
Ia student at one of the high schools,
and as a nom resident was confronted
with the sac fee which the board is try
ing to impartially collect. 1t develop
ed that the farm lad came to the city
to get an education and to support him
self by doing messenger work. But
he could not earn the extra $40 with
out leaving school for a long time.
Hard lines for the boy. He was what
they call "up against it, A splendid
opportunity confronted him TO pass
down and out and join the shifuess
ranks of the many who, finding the
road hard. the hill steep. and the ad-
mission fee uncharitably high. take to
bemoanmg their fate and TO cursing
the Judiciary Committee that runs the
universe. But this boy did not follow
the majority.
"I1l not give up. I'm bound to get
good education and make man Of
myself and be somebody in this world"
That is what the boy said to the COM
mitiee, which thereupon sat up and
looked at him. There are a lot Of
other children on the farm, and my
father couldn't afford to educate me
properly. But I'll not give up. I'll
work until I get money enough ahead"
he said. There is good stuff in that
farm lad. and it will require more in

PARk TROLLEY LINES.

THE Park Commissioners have be-
4 fore them nice question which
they are very properly Weighing with
deliberation. The Peoples Railway
Company wants to extend It's line
through a section Of Rockford Park
The company has two-fold object:
TO accommodate the people who wish
to get to the upper sections of the park
and to serve the people Of the settle-
mcnts I'm the region of Rising sun.
The Park Commissioners are debat-
ing whether the public convenience
would overbalancc any DETACHMENT OF
the park. We think it would. The
trouble with most Of the larger parks
Of American cities IS that parts Of them
are not easy Of access, and this i'm a
measure is true Of our own charming
breathing space.
The owners of horses or automobiles
find no need Of greater street car facll-
tiles, but the vast majority who either
walk or depend upon the cars would
vote solidly for an extension Of the car
lines to the upper park reaches.
A few years ago the people of Phila-
delphia were agitated over franchise
granted for trolley line in Fair
mount Park yet that line has
proved unobjeotionable,and has made 4
possible for the horseless and autolesi
public TO see what otherwise woul,
have remained sealed book to them
We believe that routes could be Sc
leoted along which both of our rail
way companies could extend their lines
without defacing the landscape while
adding materially to the public conven-
ience. Not all have private methods OF
conveyance IL should be remembered.
Our Deliberate Opinion Is that neither
Debs nor Swallow viii be elected
president Of the United states.
