Topic Tips

Small fur cravats tied in bow under
the chin look piquant and saucy.
Round fur toques are much worn this
winter and are most becoming.
.Aigrettes, lace apd flowers tighten
the wintry effect of these fur hats.
Most Of the muffs seen are still on
the rather fiat melon shape.
Big round muffs are quite as fash
ionable. however, if you can get them.
Perhaps the most highly favored
mum style of the year is large, fat
and square. ....
AN unusual muff is a huge bow Of
FUR. the loops for the hands and the
ends finished with lace.
More lace than ever is used on the
elaborate stoles and muffs of the year,
with rich effect.
Fancy lace wells are more and more
in evidence. black and brown being
more seen than colors.
1t seems to be permissible to wear
a brown veil with almost any color hat,
though it is then well to have brown
gloves.
The wearing OF little lace or en-
broidered linen sets over the collar and
cuffs Of tailored coats is as much in
vogue as ever. These sets must be
of very good quality, however, or their
only effect is to cheaper the suit.

AFTER PARDON
FOR MRS. POWELL
Lawyer Urges Unwritten Law
as Reason For Her
Release
speciai to me Evenlng journal.

DOVER, Nov. 24.-Some surprise was
occasioned when la.e yesterday after
noon the case of Mrs Mary A. Powell
again came before the Eoard OF Pardons
The board decided to finally consider and
act upon the celebrated Delaware case
at its next meeting early in December.
which will be the last meeting OF the old
board. The new board VIII consist OF
practically the same membership. except
that Thomas c. Roe viii succeed State
Auditor George H. Dick both in The slate
office and In the Board of PardOns.As Mr..
Roe will be unacquainted with the old
business and petitions before the board Il
was proposed, therefore, TO dispose, IN one
way or another of all the pending busi-
ness. and Mrs. Powell, viii soon know her
fate.
This Is another OF the "unwritten law
cases and the contention Is advanced
that the wife has the same redress as the
husband In such cases.
There was no recommendation Of par
don IN the Powell case yesterday. al
though her attorneys evidently made a
strong move for her release. or 70 Sc
cure a majority OF the Board Of Par
dons 10 50 recommend clemency TO the
governor The petitioners cited two
grounds upon which they based their
prayers for clomency:
First falling health, and. on account
of the woman prisoners age, the prob
ability that her imprisonment would
greatly shorten her life.
Second, that she was improperly con.
victed and that the finding OF the jury
was altogether TOO severe in accordance
with the facts Of the -ase.
Mrs Powell is the self-confessed slayer
OF Essie Albin. whom she cut 100 times ir
a desperate fight in her attic at her farm
house. She was sentenced to life imprison'
ment. although her counsel pleaded tn,
unwritten law. Mrs. Powoll's confession
declaring that She had discovered the
young maid Of her household I'm sucl
shocking relations with her husband tina
she was absolutely driven TO the deed.
Unless she is pardoned next month sh'

George p. Jones, d. D., to return to
his pastorate for another year.
DR.. Jones is the Methodist minister

resulted in the closing out Of the liquor
business, and the revocation Of all hotel
and saloon licenses then in force. since
which time the town, Il is said, has
been absolutely free from rowdyism,
drunkenness and negro troubles. There
were some prophecies that the course
of DR.. Jones would not be substan-
TALLY endorsed by the churchmen OF
Milford, but the Methodist Church
officials lost no time in getting a unan-
imous invitation to return, into his
hands.

WHO WILL GET
THE JUDGESHIP F?
Politicians Figure That Judge
PenneWilI Will Go to
the Senate
Special 10 Tho IevemnE Journal

DOVER, Nov. 24-There is really
no probability Of it at the present time
but if Judge James Pennewill Of Dover.
associate justice of the Supreme Court
resident In Kent county, should. per-
chance, be elected to the United States
Senate by the new Legislature, to sue
ceed u. 5. Senator J. Frank Alice,
a fine Office viii be at the disposal OF
Governor Preston Lea.
The governor will have to appoint a
Republican lawyer, resident in Kent
county to be the successor OF Judge
Pennewill. and the person to whom
this fine S3,5O0 plum shall fall, viii
hold the office for a full term Of twelve
years.
or the latter-that the Office shall be
good for the full term Of twelve years
there is now no doubt This construc-
tion is put upon the constitution by
the best constitutional authorities, law
yers and prominent men who were
members Of the constitutional conven-
ton There is no fraction Of a term
mentioned in the mater of appointing
judges, so that in the event OF the
resignation or death OF any member of
the bench, the governor comes in and
makes the appointment for a twelve
year term. In the matter OF appoint
ing judges however, the governor must
submit his appointment to the State
Senate within twenty days from the
date he makes It. If the Senate be in
recess, or not in biennial session, he
must convene it by official CALL
Judge Must Come From Kent.
AS to the matter of selecting a Re
publican lawyer who is now resident
Of Kent county, opinions differ as to
the governors prerogatlve. The new
judge would certainly have to reside IN
Kent county even though he was not a
resident when appointed.
Constitutional convention delegates
say that this question was not touched
upon in convention, and that being
the case the governor might so con-
strue it that he could appoint any Re-
publican lawyer in the state, provided
the appointee would Immediately be-
come a resident of Kent county.
Among lawyers it is generally be-
lieved that the governor would come
Into the Kent county bar to make his
selection, and that he would not slight
the lawyers OF the central county by
importing a New Castle or Sussex
man here.
Such action was taken. however, in
the cases Of Judges Houston and Mar
vel. Judge John W. Houston was ap-
pointed while a resident Of South Mil
ford, as associate judge for KEN
county. David T. Marvel, while a resi-
dent Of Georgetown, Sussex county
was selected as associate judge fol
Kent county and moved to Dover.
There are only two lawyers in Ken
county. Republicans, who are pointed
out as being Of sufficiently mature
age and Of possessing the qualification
of a judge-George Massey Jones and
William T. Smithers. All the othe
Republican barristers are very younI
; men.

"THE ROLLING SEASONS"
Dover Plans for Fine Entertainment on
Thanksgiving Eve.
Special to The Evening Journal.


DOVER, Nov. 23.-Dover is becom-
Ing a musical town, in line with the
bristling and thriving towns Of Penn
sylvana, now full Of expert MUSICIANS.
That there is material in Dover for
the organization of a permanent ora
torio society has been fully demon
strated in the rehearsals for THE Roll
Ing Seasons" to be presented at the
Opera House by local talent, with 100
people in the production. on Thanks
giving night
Not only has the development Of the
senior chorus been remarkable. since
the beginning Of the rehearsals in
September but the children have shown
ability. spirit and an alertness and
memorizing ability that Is most grati-
flying.
There are seventy-seven children, all
singers and some good actors, and
every member of the cast has ac-
duainted himself with his or her part
with skill and cleverness.
1.-THE Rolling Seasons" itself is high
ly spoken of by musicians generally.
Il was good enough for Victor Her
bert's finest concert orchestra to play
and Philadelphia's largest senior chorus
TO sing a few weeks ago and has been
so taken up by singers generally that
the issue in America was exhausted
and the copies in use in Dover had
to be borrowed and rented.
The children sing. romp. pose and
entwine hundreds OF feet Of streamers
around a gigantic Maypole in the
spring scene. and finally go to sleep
on the winter scene OF christmas ex-
haustion."
There is every reason to believe that
the late conner next Thursday night will
not get a seat.

penses had been paid. The balance on
hand at the last annual meeting amounted

amounted to si967.23. The total expendi-
lures were SsssS.5s. This left balance on

terment Of the home and the affairs o. the
institution have progressed very favor
ably during the last twelve months.
Ethel NJ. Lea, chairman of the House
and Grounds Committee, reported that
$780, a had been spent on the house and
grounds.
The friends Of the home have remem-

charitable work they ars doing.

of an overcoat containing money and
a gold watch belonging TO Oscar Young,

MY own life barque was almost
stranded by a good mother, who has
long since passed into the unknown
land. but all the lessons I have learn
ed have been CLEANED from a close con-
with the world. My mother was a
good woman, but she failed to under
stand me, and did not seek my conf
dence.
Il married young, and when my lit
tie girl was given to me made mp my
mind to study her, to keep her so close
to me that she could not make serious
mistakes. Another grille came-both
are women now-but they are still my
babies I made doll clothes for them.
1 read to them and told them stories.
I listened TO their little confessions as
they cried their troubles out on ny
lap, and later. as they sobbed on my
shoulder, and to-day, after twelve
years of widowhood, I can assure you
there is not a happier or more con-
tented trio in this world.
I have kept myself young for my
girls. 1 enjoy everything they enjoy,
and I not only have their trust and
love. but that OF dozens Of other girls
who will not dare tell their mother.
have also helped by our life of love
to establish confidence between girls
and mothers. If there was more COM
panionship between mothers and their
