FORESTALL EXTRA SESSION LEGIsLATI,N
Compact Signed BY Union Republicans Nav
be Put In Force to Help Addicks.

Just as chickens come to roost tbara
drifted into Dover on Monday an old
paper which may effectually prevent
and stop any further efforts to call tho
Delaware Leg isalture into extraordi.
nary session to select United States
senator to succeed DR. L. Heisler Ball
The paper was brought to Dover nv
one OF the politicians who came nm from
a district in lower Delaware To coo
what action the State committee would
take. 1t is to be presented to Cover.
nor Lea whenever any leaders or com.
mlttees shall make strong efforts to
nave the Legislature convened. This
paper Is compact in writing executed,
one with the other, by thirteen mem.
bers of the General Assembly tt
cites that inasmuch as John Edward
Addlcks was the caucus of the Repub-
hcan members of the Legislature the
undersigned covenanted to stand nv
MIN as such nominee and support him
unwaveringly as long as they are mem
Ders OF the Legislature, or until another
general election, unless the candidate
himself desires and so notifies them.
that he will withdraw from the contest.
While conditions throughout Delaware
have undergone many changes since
the signing of that paper, yet it will be
pressed to the front now as a deterrent
to any sliding away by the men who
thereby swore allegiance to Addicks,
The Addicks stalwarts, who never left
the Union Republican nominees cause
during the last Legislature numbered
fifteen, after all others of the twenty
two Union Republicans had broken
away, but Representatives Timothy E
Townsend of Sussex and Gamaliel
Garrison of Kent, 1t is said. preferred
not and did not tie themselves up in
the covenant never to leave. With
thirteen pledged in writing to support
Addicks, an extra session seems frus-
trated, as he would only have to force
six of the thirteen to keep their pledge.

MIR. and Mrs. Frank Stevens, who
live on farm near Hickman, lost three
daughters within the past week from
black diphtherla. Mary, aged ~ years
died on Tuesday aud Helen, aged 1s,

compelled to bury their loved ones
themselves. They are heart broken

Favorable weather attended the
opening of the oyster season in full

boats and oystermen are engaged in
hauling from the water the toothsome
bivalves, end wagons loaded with the
unopened oysters are daily journeyIng

boards arrangement Of the boulevard
has added nearly as much to the In
trinsic value Of the property for a home
section as has nature in providing a
high level table land for houses sites,
and Lake Harriet, with it's surrounding
bower of trees as an outlook.
Throngs are accustomed to pass the
various private grounds Of Minneapolis
fower-lovers, who every year make a
gratuitous display Of tu1ip-beds and 9TH
er flowers in their succession. It is an
annual event, for instance, for sight
seers to pass the English-appearing es-
tate of E. H. Moulton to view the handi-
work Of his gardeners. Other favored
spots are meccas, especially on a Sun
day. afternoon. The park board has
provided in Kings highway, little off
the beaten track Of sightseers who are
not in the saddle, automobile, or car
|riage, winning view Of the nursery art.
While a bit out of the way, the spot is
not in the least inaccessible, and is
we'll worth the trip over the Bryant
avenue line and a short walk to the
right Of the terminus.
In the twenty-foot interior grass
boulevard are planted scores Of bloom,
ing hardy shrubs, which are just now
at the height Of their beauty. The
boulevard extends from Thirty eighth
street out Dupont boulevard, or King rs
highway, to Forty sixth, and over Forty.

A Dry Cellar.

Quicklime, borax, charcoal, dry COP
peras and plaster, points out daily
contemporary, are the things to make
and keep cellar sweet and fresh. ac-
cording to the Scientific American.
Move out all things movable, sweep,
take up dust, open bins and closets and
set doors and windows wide. Then in
earthen vessel, dish or bowl, with sew
eral Jumps Of quicklime in it. Strew
grains of dry copperas all over the
lime, then slake it, but do not wet it,
yet be sure the slakening is thoroly
done. Steam from the lime, rising up
and out, will take away all bad air and
i'll odors.
Leave the cellar open and empty for
two hours, then scatter dry powdered
the walls, and wherever there is place
where it will not/be in the way, hang
piece OF net, such as fshnet, with
some Jumps Of fresh charcoal tied inside.
Leave, the borax until next cleaning
time. Take the charcoal bags down
every week, empty them, heat the char
coal very hot, return to the bags and
GUS power to absorb all sorts of bad
smells. The powder is strictly proper
toned to its freshness, which the heat
ing restores.
Make cheesecloth pads of plaster,
mixed with powdered slaked lime and
hang them against the walls that are
likeliest to be damp. Lime and plas-
ter are so thirsty they take all the
spare water to themselves, thereby pre-
venting must and mold. A good way
to make the pads is to stitch or run
inch tucks in length of cheesecloth
or coarse lawn, then slip funnel spout
into the open endeof the tuck and pour
tucks an inch apart and fill them even
| ly: Powdered charcoal may be mixed
| with lime and plaster for pads which
are to hang where foodstuffs are kept.

at $4,000, and now sells at almost the
same sum, Notwithstanding the natural
depreciation Of the three-story brick
building in two decades.
Property holders who invested In Min
neapolis real estate at boom values have
chung tenaciously to the hope that the
high price would be reached again on a
bona fde basis, and not after the In
f1ated manner of the eighties. Many of
them have wisely let 90, but neverthe-
less it is considered decidedly encourag-
ing that Washington avenue business
property has again reached practically
the same level as it attained years ago.
Now, however, it has the backing of q
prosperous and much more firmly
grounded, city Of great population and
Established commercial supremacy. =
1 Henry Doerr has sold the property
owing to his contemplated removal of
the Winecke & Doerr stock to the re-
modelled building at 414 Nicollet avenue.
The building is % by 95 feet, and was
built about twenty-five years ago. Mr..
Doerr bought it from the late G. n.
Merriam in 1888. He has occupied it
since that time, or seventeen years, and
now sells it because Of a desired change
in business site, for only $4,000 less than
he paid for it,, and when prices were
practically fabulous, taking the popula.
ton and business Of Minneapolis at that
time as basis.

these two rooms into one large living

The Kitchen is very convenient, and
there could be an outside door at the
grade-line SO as to get down to the base
ment without going thru the kitchen.
It is economy in more ways than one not
to have this door, since it makes extra
expense, and in the wintertime let's in

There are nice cupboards in the kitch-

Some Useful Hints.

A most durable doormat for hard
outside use may be made of coils Of
rope, that which has had some use be-
ing preferable to that which is per-
fectly new. Take a darning needle and
strong cord, coil the rope around once
and sew it on the under side; then
make another coil, and do likewise until
you have large mat. Such mat is
n& easily blown or kicked out of place.
For ordinary people few books in
small cases, racks or improvised shelves,
placed in almost every room, of the
house, where they can be picked up at
odd moments, are more companionable
and helpful than rows upon rows of
them cofined away behind glass doors
in some one room in the house known
as "the library" in whose easy chairs
and couches the inmates of the house
are perhaps too busy to settle down to
read more than once a week.
Sweeping with the carpet-sweeper
will be more efectual if the sweeper is
pushed in the same direction as the
warp of a rug-not against it.
A molding-board makes very salts
factory extra shelf for kitchen or sew
ingroom, if fastened to the wall with
hinges, and chains to prevent its sag
ging when lowered.
To repair flaws in woodwork or fur
niture, put any, quantity Of fine sawdust
of the same wood your work is made of
into an earthen pan, pour boiling water
on it; stir it well, and let it remain for
week or ten days, occasionally stir
ing it; then boil it for some time, and
it will be of the consistency of pulp or
paste; put it into a coarse cloth and
squeeze all the moisture from it. Keep
for use, and when wanted, mix suf-
acient quantity Of thin glue to make
cracks or fill up the holes in your work
with it. When quite hard and dry,
clean your work off, and if carefully
done you will scarcely discern the i'm
perfection.

trict to. an aristocratic one by such
means An example is Newark, N. }.
A low portion Of the city covered with
tenements was condemned and created
into large park. On each side are
hills suitable as locations for houses of
higher class. Such are creeping in
and are bound to completely displace
the poorer ones in time.
The Park System.
Minneapolis is far-sighted in secur-
ing the banks of the river and the va
rious lakes in it's vicinity for it's park
system. The tendency now will be for
builders to place their houses upon the
park and lakes giving an attractive
lake view to everyone SO building. Less
far-sighted municipalities have allowed
an attractive lake to become the bound
airy of a subdivision s backyards, by
| placing the highway far enough from
the lake so that houses can be built be-
tween it and the lake, so destroying
what might have been a thing Of beau
| ty and value. ~
| "Boston is wrestling with that very
question now. The basin of the Charles
| river between Boston and Cambridge
is quite considerable body Of water.
In early dXs s Its beauty not rec.
spends to an alley and Cambridge en-
joys looking into the kitchens Of it's
Boston neighbors. To overcome this,
Boston may even fill the river suff-

ward, and so present a decent front
to the pub bile. These things that Bos-

having that element Of beauty, it was

ford to pay-people who wanted this
street as completely attractive as pos
s1ble, SO that its influence and interest,
| as will that Of the park system, ex-
| tends beyond the street itself, and the
vicinity of Park avenue is better prop
