ADD CKS ADMITS
A NEW JUDGMENT
Suit for $500 by Harness Firm
Ends by Him Confessing
Sum Due
OTHER SUPERIOR COURT CASES

When the Superior Court convened this
morning Chief Justice Lore told the jur-
ors that the court would not entertain an
application for excuses unless they in
volved sickness or death. The reason for
this he explained was that so many jur-
ors had asked to be excused from time to
time that often taiesmen had to be
drawn to make up a jury. The cases set
for trial today were either continued for
settlement or disposed of in some other
way.
The case of Martin and Martin vs.
John Edward Addicks was disposed Of by
the defendant confessing judgment and
the amount Of the judgment by order Of
the court is to be ascertained by Pro-
thonotary Speakman. When the court
reached the case H. H. Ward, counsel for
Mr.. Adddicks. asked that judgment be
confessed for the plaintiff.
Martin and Martin were represented by
Martin B. Burris. The plaintiff is a
Philadelphia harness firm and claims that
Addicks owes $500 for numerous articles
purchased for horses and carriages.

OF the finance committee showing the
exact condition of the county's finan-

ment will be prepared by Auditors L.

The Levy Court this morning passed
the following resolution on the mat
ter:
Whereas, The present term OF the
Levy Court of New Castle county, does
expire at the end of this month, De-
cember, 1904 we, the members Of the
finance committee Of said court deem
Ia proper for the public information
that there be made an audit Of the
entire financial condition and affairs
of said county and that there be pre-
pared a statement setting forth the
assets and liabilities thereof.
Now, therefore for the proper carry

the said finance committee do recon-
mend and advise said court that its
president be by it directed and author

obtain their public lighting for nothing
which in view of the probable pro-
spective increase in the lighting bills
Of the city, will be of increasingly great
advantage. 1t would not be out of line
with my suggestion that the company
should be required to pay into the city

six per cent. dividends and it would
make no practical difference to the

Alfred o. Crozier read a lengthy COM

the history of the matter in order as he
said, to "dispel the mystery and mis-
trust created by the circulation of un-
just and untruthful stories of the mo-
tives and purposes Of these honorable
business gentlemen" He stated that
about November 1, the lotto people re-
tained me as their counsel to present
this application and ask your favorable
action" and declared that It was but
natural that the gas company should
fight to retain the rich monopoly It has
enjoyed for over fifty years. He REFER
red to the correspondence between the
officials of the Wilmington Gas and
Electric Company and the councilmanic
committee and said that much capital
has been made OF the suggestion OF a
low price on gas for the Otto people
and that Attempts have been made to
excite the envy Of other consumers.

the Hollander settled at the mouth of
the Hudson and the Swede at the
mouth of the Delaware. Even in CO.
lonial days the German element had
become very strong among our people
in various parts of this country; the
Irish element was predominant in the
foothills of the Alleghanies; French
Huguenots were numerous. BY the
time of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence that process of fusion which has
gone on ever since was well under way
From the beginning of our national MS
tory men of German origin or German
parentage played distinguished part
in the affairs both of peace and of war.
In the Revolutionary war one of the
leading generals was Muhlenberg, an
American of German descent, just as
among the soldiers from abroad who
came to aid us one of the most prom
inent was the German, Steuben. Muh-
lenberg was the first Speaker of the
House of Representatives; and the bat
tie which in the Revolution saved the
valley of the Mohawk to the American
cause was fought under the lead of the
German, Herkimer. AS all the different
races here tend rapidly to fuse to-
gether it is rarely possible after one
or two generations to draw a sharp
line between the various elements; but
there is no student of our national con-
ditiOns who has failed to appreciate
what an invaluable element in our
composite stock the German is. Here

1T is emineOtly fitting that the
statue of this iron soldier, this born

But, Mr.. Embassador, in accepting
the statue given us to-day through you

not merely because 1t is the statue of
a mighty and terrible soldier. but L ac-

between the two nations. We OF the

peoples of middle, northern and west

right to be legitimately proud, and yet

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

EeW PcODIe hnOW HOW JSe1ul 1t Is IN
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
Il absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects The mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
IS in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
the fohm of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with horey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton Of the general health, better COM
pleXion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physic'on. in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: 81 ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
pleXion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; 1 also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and, although
iL some sense a patent preparation, yet
1 believe L get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in an OF the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

AT PEACE WITH NATIONS.

Each nation has its allotted tasks to

closely knit together alike for good

continent where it is absolutely essen

to our shores should not remain sepa-
rate but should fuse into one, our un-
ceasing effort is to strive to keep and
profit by the good that each race brings
