the amending of the arbitration
treaties. The question of Santo Do
mingo was eliminated from the situa-
ton and left for future discussion
when the promised treaty reaches the
Senate. The issue was based squarely
on the prerogatives Of the Senate and
on nothing else.
LETTER STIRS RESENTMENT.
The letter of the President to Senator
Cullom finally decided many waVering
Senators to vote for the proposed
amendment. changing the word
agreement to treaty" The tone and
nature Of the letter were distasteful to
the Senators. There was much critl-
cism because Of the fact that il was
addressed 10 CUllom and not to the
Senate as a body. II the letter had
been sent to the Senate as a regular
fermal communication there would
have been no criticism of the act All

that course, although no subsequent
President has done so.
it was the judgment OF lue CeudlOIS
that the President insisted upon the
word agreement" because under the
treaties he proposed TO make such COM
pacts with foreign powers as he con-
sidered proper or eXpedient. In each
instance he would say that he had the
authority Of the Senate to make the
agreements. il having been conferred

he could make such treaties as he de-

other and that each treaty should be
submitted TO the Senate before it be-
comes effective.

SORROW FLEES
FROM ORPHEUM
Bill Is Composed of Funny
Features That Keep the
Audiences in an UprOar

There is absorbing interest in every
number on the Orpheum bill this week,
from Ford and Wilson, blackface
comedians, to the moving pictures.
Happy Jack Gardner, musical mono
logist, and Bert Howard and -Leona
Bland, in a side-splitting sketch, were
the favorites with yesterdays audi
ences. Howard is a wonder at the
piano. His limitations of everything
from a hand organ to Paderewski were
convulsing.
Bob and George Quigley, in an act
entitled AT the Toll Gate" are funny
enough to make boodling State Sena-
tors forget their troubles. Paulton and
Dooley offer something good in the
way of bicycle riding. The comedy end
of the partnership is particularly good.
Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson
dance and sing in their same old way
that has always been so pleasing to
San Francisco audiences. Some Of
their songs are new and others are
pleasant revivals of old favorites
Robert H. Hodge and company in the
Troubles of Bill Blithers, Bachelor, :"
do not fall behind their stage asso-
ciates in provoking laughter. Newell
and Niblo play the saxophone and
xylophone admirably. Every feature
of the programme has something to
make the audience look pleasant, at
least. and some of the numbers are the
limit for fun.
Harry Beresford in "Our New Man
was the attraction last night at the
California Theater, and Beresford will
continue to be the attraction. The play
and the rest of the PLAYERS. with the
exception of the winsome women of the
company, do not receive their share Of
the attention when Beresford is on the
stage. While "Our New Man" is a
comedy having a well defined plot,
there are parts Of it that are draggy
and should be polished up. When
Beresford appears, however, his droll
humor and quaint portrayal of the
botanist often convulses the audience.
Peter Morrison as Tanner and Miss
Julia Batchelder as Dolly Charters are
good and Mrs. Kate Bruce as Mrs.
Bolter was acceptable

COUNTY HOSPITAL

The trouble which has been uppermost
at every meeting of the Trustees of the
Poor for sometime was effectually disposed
of Wednesday when Superintendent
Blackburn was given full jurisdiction
over the employees of the County Hos
pital and was made a member of the
hopital committee.
For sometime there has been friction
between certain employees and the super
intendent, and when the question came
up yesterday it was George R. Roberts
who saved the day, for he was promptly
on his feet and moved that the superin-
intendent be given the requisite author
ity. The matter was embodied in the
following resolution which was passed
UNANIMOUSLY
1t is the scene of this committee,
that the decision on the Board of Trus-
tees, of Farnhurst, on April last in re-
ference to difference between superin-
tendent and farmer was as follows:
That the superintendent was respon-
sible for the executive work of the
farm the farmer was responsible to
the board through the farm committee.
for doing the farm work only.
That no stock or other staple COM
modify be purchased for, or sold off OF
the farm without the superintendent
being so instructed by the farm COM
mittee.
The farm committee recommends
that this decision be made final.
The report of the superintendent for
the month was as follows; Population,
$50 deaths, 2; births, l. The pay roll
for the month amounted to $44S,s4, and
it was allowed.
The house committee reported that
everything about the building was in
first class condition and the report was
accepted. Mr.. Roberts reported that
the roof needed repairs. and was in
structed as chairman Of the hospital COM
mittee to have the necessary repairs |
made. The coal bill Of White and
Brother of $l52,97 was allowed.
An innovation was decided upon when !
Blackburn was ordered |
to have burial services for all interments |
held in Potter's Field. The pay of the
of the institution was increased
from SIS to s. a month. 1t was also de-
cided to repair the wagon shed roof and |
also to engage the services OF colored
in the hospital as it was decided |
the expenses Of white nurse would be
too great.
Among those present were Mis-. Henry, |
Mrs. Sterling and family, and Frank L.
of Hockessin.

MEN FOUND IN A BAGGAGE CAR

DOVER, DEL, Aug. 3O.-The three des-
peradoes, Edward Freese, James Sullivan
and Charles Corson, who were taken
from their hiding place in Pennsylvania
railroad baggage-car at Clayton last night
by Detective N. II. Hutchins and a
posse, were held for court this afternoon
at prelimary hearing before Magistrate
Wood.
New revolvers, loaded with 32-calibre
bullets, were taken from the men, whose
purpose was evidently to hold up the
train or ransack the baggage Car some<
where on the lonely ride of the baggage
men from Dover to Harrington. Con-
stable James d. Wright took the arms Of
the men under order to hold thep until
the men are arraigned for trial before a
jury in October.
Only slight charges could be made
against them and the men were fined
Sl3.0S each tor trespassing and were each
held in 500 bail for court and carrying
concealed deadly weapons. The men
gave no account OF themselves and
neither would make statement.
The presence became known to Bag
gagemaster Fred D. Ross about s. o'clock
last night near Middletown, when the
baggagemaster noticed some of the bag
gage moving as if by magic. He wisely
telegraphed for force of officers to board
the train when it reached Clayton, but the
baggageman's experiences during the run
between Middletown and Clayton must
have been wired and unenyiable.
Detectives are now at work on charge
against the men of robbing one patron on
the road of $l2 in a hold-up.

PENINSULA PARAGRAPHS

Andrew Woodall, OF Georgetown, last
week purchased the Sheffield farm con-
tanning 454 acres, situated in Cecil County,
for 5000. This makes SO large and
desirable farms now owned by Captain
Woodall in Kent and Cecil Counties. He
is by far the largest land owner in that
section.
Rey. W. L. S. Murray, pastor of st.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, Will
mington, on Friday night, was unani-
monsIy invited to return as pastor for
the eleventh consecutive ear. DIR. MUIR
ray is said to be the only Methodist
preacher in this country who has served
ten consecutive years in one church.
While the family of c. R. Vaughn, two
miles from Leipsic were at dinner, Mon
day noon, one of them was surprised to
see smoke at the barn. Giving the alarm
they all rushed to the spot to find the
building, the finest one in the neighbor-
hood, enveloped-in flames from which all
hope of rescue had passed. Nearly all
the farm implements and one horse, the
only one in the stable, was with great
difficulty saved. Eighteen hogs and
shoats, which were in the pound were
unable to escape the onrush of the
flames.
William A. Bell has sold his PAGER
Bedworth, Jr., to Charles II. Jarvis d
Son, of Washington, for S., 900 cash and
other considerations. Bedworth, Jr.,
holds the fastest record of any horse in
Maryland Oel-and has won every
race in which he started this year. Mr..
Jarvis is an oyster packer and owns sew
eral fast horses. He will enter his new
purchase in the Grand Circuit. This
horse was raised and trained at Chester
town and has some speedy colts in Kent
County and elsewhere.
Rev. Thomas L. Poulson, the veteran
minister, who has been supplying some
OF the biggest churches in the Whining
ton NJ E Conference since his return
from New York. has been engaged to
preach the 125th anniversary sermon at
Barratt's Chapel on Sunday, October lst.
DIR. Poulson's vigor as preacher is said
to be remarkable. He was pastor doing
active work at Delaware City at the close
OF the civil war, and his preaching to-day
is said to be more full Of JUNCTION than
ever. He has gone to Wilmington to
preach for four Sundays at Grace M. E.
Church before congregations OF |, 200.
Inspections made recently of the oyster
bars along the Delaware side of Delaware
Bay reveal the fact that there will be bet
tefoysters and more of them taken from
Delaware waters next month than at any
time since the early eighties. The
smooth seas during July, together with
an immense catch of spat, all 60 to load
ard interwave the sea grass on the
oyster bars and flats with spat shells,
stone are full. Could the oyster fisheries
be abandoned for year and have advan-
tage of complete rest, there is belief
that prolific and widespread growths of
fine oysters would result.
