GEN. LEW WALLACE.

THE death OF General Lew Wallace
Il brings to a close the career OF a
rather remarkable man. Although the
law was mis- profession he achieved his
reputation in other lines-war and lit
erature.
At the outbreak OF the Civil War ne
volunteered, became a lieutenant in an
Indiana company He served with dis
tinction, doing good work at Donald
son and shiloh, and later as a brgadier
general successfully defending Cincin-
natl and Washington.
When the war was over he did what
so many officers did. entered into the
study OF law. But he was never des-
tined to practice his profession to amy
considerable degree He became a
prominent figure in Indiana politics and
was made Governor Of New Mexico.
Later President Garfield appointed
him minister to Turkey. and while
abroad he conceived the plot Of his two
novels, "Ben-Hur" and the prince Of
lndia,' the former OF which brought
him considerable wealth and a place
In the world of literature.
His other works are not so generally
known. but all display literary touch
which Indicates that had his early edu-
cation been more complete he would
have left even a deeper impress on the
literature Of our period.
But General Wallace has illustrated
high type Of Americanism. Indus
trious, patriotic and versatile, leavins
the stamp and Impress Of his life on the
people Of his generation.

Horses Dyina on Kent Island.

Farmers Of Kent Island are very
much agitated over the appearance OF
disease among horses. The malady
is peculiar and kills the animal in a
short time. The chief feature Of the
complaint is the inability of the horse
to swallow. The appetite is not lost
and food is chewed up only to be rolled
into a cud and then spit out. There Is
discharge from the nose and the ami
NAL continues to get worse. In about
"a hours weakness is noticed, and as IL
progresses there is a difficulty in
breathing. The hard labored breath
| ing continues. and the animal seems
gradually to be overcome by powerful
poison. There is no struggling and
there seems to be no pain or fever.
Death occurs in As to so hours from
the first appearance of.the complaint.
It is called by local horsemen putrid
fever, and they saS its mortality Is
great.

Modern Treasure Ships.


From the Cleveland Leader.
Not a great deal OF remark was created
fow days ago when a Transatlantic
steamship left the port Of New York with
nearly SlO0OO,0OO in coined and bullion gold
in its treasure chests. A few weeks prior
to that a sister steamship had carried
N.oO0,0OO in gold to Europe. We have grown
accustomed to the statement that such
ana such a steamship has left Australia
for San Francisco carrying two, three,
or even five millions in bullion as part Of
tis regular cargo.
Yet Si0.000O00 is three times as much
gold in value as was carried BY the feet
OF galleons captured by Great Britain
from Spain In 1904 This ono vessel car
ried ten times as much treasure as was
carried IN a single Spanish ship In the
time when the Spanish Main was the
scene Of bloody battles by pirates or pri-
vateers. enlisted sailors, or freebooting
buccaneers.
IL Is wonderful thing when one comes
to think OF IT, how completely modern
conditions have changed respecting the
transportation OF treasure. There Is no

MORE TELEPHONE LINES
DOWN THE PENINSULA

A special meeting of the City Council
Of Salisbury, Md, was held on Monday
night TO consider the question of grant
ling franchises to the Maryland Tel
cphone Company and the PIocOmoke
Telephone Company to enter that place.
, President George Webb, of the Mary
land Telephone Company, was In con-
sultation with Mayor Harper last week
and stated that his company was anx-
ious to enter Salisbury for the purpose
OF sharing IN the long distance business.
Mr.. Webb stated that the Maryland
Telephone Company has completed its
line from Baltimore to Wilmington and
would build two branch lines down the
Peninsula-one from Elkton to Chester
town. Centreville, Easton, Cambridge,
Hurlock and to Salisbury; the other
from Wilmington, via Middletown.
Dover Harrington, Seaford. Laurel,
Delmar and to Salisbury, both of which
will connect with the pocomol1e Com
pany, II franchises are granted.
President Webb gave Mayor Harper
to understand that the Maryland COM
lpany would enter Salisbury under
ground, by building a system of con-
duits that would be ample for the fu-
ture needs OF the city. After consider
ing this proposition in all it's phases.
the Council also discussed the matter
Of the entrance OF the Pocomoke Tel
ephone Company into Salisbury, and
requested Mayor Harper to invite Mr..

pany and DIR. Walters, of the POGO
make Telephone Company, to meet the
Council at an early date and lay their
propositions before that body.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Colonel duPont Favored.


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir:-Lrhere has been a great dead Of
newspaper talk recently about a FORTH
coming break in the ranks Of the
Union Republican members Of the Leg
islature. And it is not all talk; in fact,
II may have taken place ere these lines
are read.
1t is a fact that no well-informed
person will dispute, that many of the
Republicans IN the Legislature have
come to revise their poliblcal views.
They are saying that Delaware must
have her full representation in the Sem
ate and they are centain that a man
can be found who viii be an honor TO
the party and a credit to the State
In our judgment the logical candidate
for the place Is Colonel Henry DUPONT.
We know there is a tendency these days
to compromise. but 1t is easy to select
a worse candidate by compromise than
to frankly accept a candidate already
named.
Colonel DUPONT is of a distinguished
Delaware famMly. one that has stood
for enterprise patriotism and good cit
izenship. His military title he won in
the regular army while serving his
country in the War of the Rebellion.
It has been said that Winchester was
won more by the work of Colonel Du-
Point than by Phil Sheridan.
Colonel Dupont has done a very
great dead for the Republican party,
and even when the honors have been
denied him he has not faltered in his
devotion and his efforts for the party
success He was defeated for election
once by only one vote. and 1t would
be a graceful and proper act for the
party as a whole to make amends now.
Colonel DUPONT Is a resident of New
Castae county, and that county should
have one Senator. In fact, as a matter
of mere policy, the Regular Republi-
cans should be given a Senator. It
would follow that two years from now
the people Of Kent and Sussex would
elect a Senator of their choice, and
without question.
There is going to be a re-alignment-
and Il Is most necessary for IL to take
the right direction.
Many members of the Legislature
have ceased to NOTICE the crack of the
lash OF the bosses. They want to do
something, something effective and
something which will redeem the party
from past strife and chickering's. We
do not want to hinder, but to help.
Very truly yours,
Kent County.

EDITORIAL OPINION

tare planned. THE Terror Of the
Neighborhood" has seen his best days,
and "the infantile Jesse James and
Bat Masterson" may be only fctions
OF the nursery tales OF the future.
To bring about this great reform
Investigation is being made by Judge
Julian W. Mack, of the Chicago Juve-
nile Court, assisted by Superintendent
Bodine, Of the Compulsory Education
Department Of the Chicago public
schools, and DR.. McMillen, head of the
Child Study Department Of the same
schools.
The theory Of the experiment is that
the pupil who is unruly may be SO
entirely because of physical defects
beyond its control The child may be-
for instance. hard Of hearing, defective
In heart action, partially blind in one
eye, underfed or not properly fed on
proper food.
To test this bad boy theory a dozen
dellnduent children are to be taken
before Dr. McMillen, examined thor
oughly and then sent to institutions
where their physical defects are 10
be cured and their mental conditions to
be carefully tested before and after such
cures.
I'VE are attempting 20 show certain
things in regard to delinquency and bad
conduct" said Superintendent Bod.ne,
'that are not exactly IN accord with es-
tablshed ideas. For instance, that it is
moro frequently a PHYSICAL defect than a
mental one that causes a child to become
delinquent. The lack Of nourlshing food
is ono cause Of delinquency, ana a very
frequent one. Lameness and defective
hearing and eyesght are other causes.
BY making these children normal physic-
ally we expect to have them normal
morally"
Superintendent Soldan, Of the st. Louis
public schools, IS too constitutionally busy
20 listen TO any possible reform involving
all the notifications set out above.
Perhaps. however. some members OF the
School Board might be enlisted in an at
tempt to try the new way Of making bad
boys good.
Al any rate. the Chicago experiment
should be watched with interest, both by
parents and teachers, all over the country.

A WILDLY EXCITING STORY.

"A STORY of surprising interest ap-
1 n peared in the Every Evening last
night right from the heart Of it's Dover
correspondent. It took something like
a half column to tell It. but It was
worth it.
II was not about the election Of a

cern the passage OF any measure relat-
ing to the state, but it had all the per-
sonal flavor TO make profoundly in

as It were. The correspondent wrote
about a personal incident, and the
bare announcement Of that fact is GER
tain to attract attention.
It seems that he went out at . a.
