ALL HAIL THE CIRCUS

Definite announcement has been made
that the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Eearth is to exhibit in Wilmington
Saturday May 7th. This will be gratify-
ing news to all who thoroughly enjoy
high-class circus performance. The Bar
mum & Baily Show, however, is more
than great circus. 1t is colossal and
comprehensive travelling exposition. Its
various departments cover the most in.
teresting and curious things in the ZOO
logical world, including four giant giraffes;
the extreme accomplishment of specta-
cular display; the best there is in the
world OF music; the pick of the worlds
great arenic stars in the most exhilarat-
ing OF ring performances; the latest
novelties in daring aerial bicycle exploits,
and the most exciting features of the
modern racing turf and the ancient
Roman hippodrome. During the past
winter the European agents of the big
show secured many unique acts for the
current American tour. These acts are
of character to excite comment and
compel admiration. In the great Florenz
Troupe of acrobats there are twelve
world famous gymnasts who perform
seemingly impossible feats OF skill and
daring; the Imperial Viennese Troupe of
aerialists introduces ten men women of
international fame who fairly fly through
space; the riding numbers serve to in
troduce horsemen and horsewomen of
distinction from all parts of the world,
and the company of forty clowns en-
braces many of the most famous circus
comedians of the country and Europe.
The most sensational features are given
this year for the first time in American.
Volo, the Folitant, loops the aerial arch
on bicycle, and Ancillotti, the most |
daring bicycle rider the world has ever |
seen, rides his wheel around a colossal |
loop from which the entire top has been |
These marvellous acts have
created furore and are the talk of the |
country. A reproduction of the splendid |
Durbar at Delhi opens the show and a /
series of hotly contested hippodrome |
races brings it to fitting climax. The |
local. circus engagement will be inaugu-
rated with the most gorgeous street spec
tacle ever attempted. A feature of the
grand display is team of forty horses,
drawing gorgeous and massively carved
swenty-ton band wagon. Ask your local |
agent about cheap rates to the big show. ]

JAIL UNDER FIRE
Representatives of the Public
Ledger Tells of State Of
Affairs There
PRISONERS HAVE FREEDOM

The Philadelphia Ledger Saturday
published an article setting forth the con-
ditions which prevail in the Sussex
County Jail in Georgetown. In describ-
ing the condition of the jail the Ledger
says:
The building is insecure and the bricks
are crumbling. There are no cells.
Through rotting window frames, innocent
OF single pane of glass, the rain and
sneg blow in upon such prisoners as hap
pen to be in the jail There are several
who are prisoners in name only, and it
was the actions of these that called forth
the rebuke from the bench.
Thrown together in four dirty rooms,
twenty-one prisoners, some of them con-
victed murderers, others serving short
terms for petty crimes, some black, some
white, spend their days. The prisoners,
dressed in rags, cook their own meals
from raw food given to them by the sher-
iff.

hUuI6SS
Republicans in any part of Delaware
are earnestly requested to cut out the
above heading and paste it at the top of
one or more sheets of paper and circulate
it as rapidly as possible in their locality
for signitures, and then mail or take the
same to Robert L. Webb, Secretary, 1Ol
West Eighth street, Wilmington.
All Republican papers in the State are
requested to copy this heading and make
a similar request in their columns.
While many of the lists have not yet
been returned to the headquarters, enough
have come in to indicate that the num-
Der of members has passed the fourteen
hundred mark, which is an enormous
membership for any club. The officers
and directors are very enthusiastic, and
hope by this plan to secure at least two
thousand members within two weeks.
They are getting many Democrats, who
favor President Roosevelt's reelection
and continuance of present conditions,
to join, SO they hope those who prepare
and circulate these lists will give all such
Democrats an opportunity to become
members.

Pharaah,a Treasures.

While studying In the British Mu-
scum a papyrus which was published
1000 years before Christ, an Egyptol
ogist recently found a clear and con-
else account of the treasures which
the ancient sovereigns of Egypt buried
in various parts Of the Libyan desert,
and now an expedition is being
formed in London for the purpose of
searching for this wealth. The nee
essary funds have already been se-
cured and in short time a few
skilled explorers will start for the
desert. where the technical work will
be prosecuted under the supervision
of Messrs. Lake and Currie, two Eng
lish engineers. The writer of the
ancient papyrus says that the Phar-
aohs hid an immense quantity of gold
and precious stones in the region
which is known by the name Of the
Valley of Kings" and there the first
excavations will be made. The task
will not be easy since the country to
be searched extends over 10000
square leagues.

iihood and laying the foundation of
later fortune. Long since he had
proved up" his claim and moved into
town permanently, having office and
residence in the great depot hotel
which was the citadel of the forces of
law and order, of progress and civiliza-
tion in that land.
The railroad company which found
ed Ellisville had within its board of di-
rectors so-called Land and Improve
ment Company" which latter company
naturally had the first knowledge of
the proposed location OF the different
towns along the advancing line. When
the sale of town lots was thrown oren
to the public, it was always discovered
that the Land and Improvement Com
pany had already secured the best of
the property in what was to be the
business portion of the town. In the
case of Ellisville, this inner corpora
tion knew that there was to be To-
Gated here railroad division point,
where ultimately there would be car
shops and long pay roll of employees.
Such town was sure to prosper much
more than one depending solely upon
agriculture for its support, as was to
be the later history of many or most
of these far Western towns. Franklin.
given hint by friendly official, in
vested as he was able in town prop
erty in the village of Ellisville, in
which truly it required the eye of faith
to see any prospect of great enhance
ment. Betimes he became owner of
quarter-section of land here and
there, in course of commissions on
scales. He was careful to take only
such land as he had personally seen
and thought fit for farming and always
he secured land as near to the railroad
as was possible Thus he was In the
ranks of those foreseeing men who
quietly and rapidly were making plans
which were later to place them among
those high in the control of affairs.
Everywhere was shown the Anglo
Saxon love of land. Each man had
nis .quarter-section or more. Even
Nora, the waitress at the hotel, had
filed on quarter" and once in per-
laps month or SO would reside"
there overnight, few faint burrows in

drama of the West was going on in all

law were still SO weak and unavailing.
had set for 1t in the ways of things
limit for its flood and time for its
receding.
The West was noble country. and
it asked of each man what nobility
there was in his soul. Franklin began
to grow. AS he looked beyond the day
of cattle and foresaw the time of the
plough. SO also he gazed far forward
into the avenues of his own life, now
opening more clearly before him. He
rapidly forecast the possibilities of the
profession which he had chosen, and
with grim self-confidence felt them
well within his power. Beyond that,
then, he asked himself, in his curious
self-questioning manner. what was
there to be? Wherein was he to gain
that calmness and that satisfaction
which ought to attend each human
soul. and entitle 1t to the words well
done?" Odd enough were some of
these selfsearchings which went on
betimes in the little ONCE of this
plainsman lawyer; and strangest of all
to Franklin's mind was the feeling
that, as his heart had not yet gained
that which was its right, neither had
his hand yet fallen upon that which
it was to do.
Franklin rebelled from the technical
side of the law, not so much by reason
of its dry difficulty as through scorn of
its admitted weakness, its inability to
do more than compromise; through
| contempt of its pretended beneficences
and its frequent inefficiency and harm
| fulness. In the law he saw plainly the
lash Of the taskmaster, driving all
| those yoked together in the horrid
! compact of society, master inexor-
able, stone-faced, cruel. In it he found
no comprehension, seeing that 1t re-
| garded humanity either as a herd of
slaves or pack of wolves, and not
as brethren laboring, suffering, per-
forming common destiny, yielding to
common fate. He saw in the law
no actual recognition of the individual.
but only the acknowledgment of the
social body. Thus, set down in a day
miraculously clear, placed among
| strong characters who had never yet
yielded up their souls, witnessing that
time which knew the last blaze of the
spirit of men absolutely free, Franklin
felt his own soul leap into a prayer
for the continuance of that day. See
ing then that this might not be, he fell
sometimes to the dreaming Of how
he might some day, if blessed by the
plying and understanding spirit Of
things, bring out these types. per.
petuate these times, and SO at last set
them lovingly before a world which
might at least wonder, though it did
not understand. Such were his vague
dreams, unformulated; but, happily.
meantime he was not content merely
1 to dream.

shall never love again.
Poor medicine as it is. work was
ever the best salve known for hurt
ing heart. Franklin betook him to his
daily work, and he saw success attend
his labors. He felt growing in his
heart the stubbornness of the man of
property. the landholding man, the
man who even unconsciously plans a
home, resolved to cling to that which
he has taken of the earth's surface for
his own. He knew that this perfervid
time could not endure. knew that the
sweep of American civilization must
occupy all this land as it had all the
lands from the Alleghenies to the
plains. He foresaw in this crude new
region the scene of great material
activity, vast industrial develop
ment. 1t needed no great foresight
to realize that all this land, now SO
wild and cheap, could not long remain
wild and cheap, but must follow the
history of values as it had been writ
ten up to the edge of that time and
place.
OF law business OF an actual sort
there was next to none at Ellisville, all
the transactions being in wild lands
and wild cattle, but. as did all attor
neys of the time, Franklin became
broker before he grew to be profes
sional man. Fortunate in securing the
handling of the railroad lands, he sold
block after block of wild land to the
pushing men who came out to the
front" in search of farms and cattle
ranches. His own profits he invested
again in land. Thus he early found
himself making much more than live
