had passed a fairly comfortable night,
with no perceptible change in his condi-
ton.
Mr.. Field contracted q severe cold while
on his way TO this city. Bronchitis de-
velopcd and. It is understood, was fol-
lowed by a slight congestion of the lungs.
DR.. Walter b. James is in constant attend
ance and during the night called into con-
sultation DR.. Edward G.. Janeway and Dr.
Austin f. Riggs. Nothing official was
given out by the physicians other than
that Mr.. Fields condition is grave. but not
critical. Mrs Field remains within easy
call of the attendants.
After the conference of physicians, IL
was stated that Mr. Fields illness had
been diagnosed as incipient lobar pneu-
monia. His physicians we're said to be
bending their energies to prevent the
spreading of the area of congestion.

Many years ago Bill Smith was
well known character in a Missouri
town whose name need not be mention
cd here. Bill was a colored boy who
roamed the streets at viii. One day
he found a pocketbook containing $40,
and the owners name was stamped
on the book.
But Bill burned the pocketbook and
spent the $40 in riotous living. OF
course it was found out. and Bin was
arrested. tried. found guilty and sent
to the penitentiary for two years. He
served his time and when he emerged
he knew something about making shoes.
The day he returned to his home an
old acquaintance met him and asked;
'sWell, what did they put you at In
the prison. BillW

boy out'n me- sah.'

The curse Of the man who win not
work has always been with US. In
Henry Wills reign he was not allow
ed to beg the bread that belonged to
honest folk, for a statute was made
by which the old and impoicnt were
granted licenses to beg, and any one
found begging without one was sound
~ logged and sent home to his own
parish. In this way as many as
hundred in one day in Elizabeth's
time were sent "hnck 20 the land.
The begging license seems TO work
well enough abroad, where the row Of
authorized beggars Is a familiar sight
outside every church and where the
halt and MANNED are seldom seen any
where else. The rise Of the vagrant IN
England no doubt took place after the
destruction Of the monasteries ana be-
fore any other relief giving body took

TWO SMALLPOX CASES.

The Patients Sent to the Pest House at
Farnhurst
Two smallpox cases were discovered in
Wilmington yesterday, and both Of them
have been removed to the pest house at
Farnhurst The patients are brothers,
Charles and james Nedab, and live on
the east side of town. The cases are
both mild. and neither Of the men has
been confined to bed.
They were sent 70 the pest house late
last night and a urse was put in sharge
OF them.
As soon as it was learned that the
men were suffering from smallpox the
Board of Health took the necessary pre-
cautions and had the house where they
lived thoroughly fumigated. 1t is
thought that the men contracted the dis
ease from a brother who recently came
from Norfolk, Va, where he had been i'll
with smallpox. These are the first cases
here for over a year.

For some reason crows have seated

crows build their nests In trees, where
no fox can climb, and as an adult crow
can escape from any fox by dying, we
cannot understand why an crows seek
to harass and destroy every fox they
see. But we know this 20 De q fnct, as
we have watched the performances Of
crows when foxes were near many
times
We have seen crows watch for rum
ming foxes on such occasions for hours
at O. time. and as soon as a fox emery
ed from the thick woods and let a crow
get a glimpse OF its body every bird
would hover over the running beast
and peck at it and scold it and show
marked evidence Of a bitter hatred.
