GYPSYQUEENTELLS
OF HONEYMOON
Five Years Of Wandering in
Strange Lands and Then,
Perhaps, Hungary
CITY GIRLS TOO THIN

Dusky Lena Mikel, the queen Of the
Bederine gypsies. who recently welded
her nomad lover in a tenement house,
gives her definition OF 'fdeal honey
moon" as "hve years roaming through
strange lands in a prairie wagon" She
unbosomed herself on the subject to
a Boston Post man the other day, and
INDUCED in a verbal whack at her
Boston sister.
Incidentally this maiden OF soulful
eyes and the real olive and rose COM
plexion gave the interview adorned
with necklaces, ear ornaments and
girdle of glittering gold pieces. Her
plump neck blazed with precious
stones and her arms bore their share
Of treasure in heavy clrclets OF pure
gold. The surroundings in which the
ceremony was performed at the house
No. Richmond street would not at
tract the eye of the average working
man. Yet the gypsy girl told her
story with apparently hardly
thought for the 5000 collateral which
she wore.

Well this is what the bewitching
Lena has to say concerning the man
ner in which a wedding should be
celebrated. Likewise about the Boston

TO the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Commis-

constructing the ship canal. The revival OF the
project has been fostered by Wilmington and our
people have been in the front of the movement.
Yet the proposed canal concerns Philadelphia

Respect For the Uniform.

Editor The Evening Journal
The uniform OF an officer. or enlisted
man Of the Army and Navy OF the
United States should and must be re-
spected. The recent action OF ar
amusement company at Newport, II. l.,
in excluding a sailor from the place
because he was IN uniform should
arouse the Indignation OF every fair
minded citizen. Rear Admiral Thomas
IN encouraging the insulted Jackie to
seek the civil courts for vindication
has the approval Of the President OF
the United states. President Roose-
Welt has sent the Admiral 500. to be
used 10 help defray the expenses IN
the costs Of the case.
man who gives his service 20 the
government Of the United States and
dons a uniform TO fight for his coun-
try Is a hero, though he may never
see a battlefield Any man that gives
up his home and friends and enlists
IN the service deserves the respect Of
every citizen. Upon the bench Of the
courts the best and noblest men Of the
country sit In Judgment. Let US hope
that on the occasion when this suit
comes to trial that the wise and learn
ed Judge will give a decision In favor
Of the sailor, whose suit Is not for the
financial consideration, but for the re-

Evening journal., 1906-09-26

How easy it would be for the people to control
in Delaware politics has been shown on many oc-
casions The delegates to the Republican State
Convention were supreme and could do as they
wished No one. no boss, held whip over
them. The same is true in our county politics.
No man is forced off or on a ticket He is given
a free show to secure nomination. 1t is very
different from many other States where states
a.e made in advance by boss and primary cleo
tions are merely matter of FORM The strength
still resides with the people if they choose to ex-
ercise it. If boss system not by one man, but
by a ring, is fastened upon the people OF Della
ware, it will be simply because they are too in
different to resist it.

REPORTERS PUT OUT. Socialists Would Not Allow Them to Attend Session at London.

London, July 1.-The general congress of socialist interparliamen- tary committees opened here to-day under the presidency of James Kier Hardie, the socialist member of par lament and chairman of the inde- pendent labor party. The first action of the congress was to expel the newspaper men present, the foreign delegates fearing that detailed re- ports of the proceedings would bring them unpleasantly to the notice of their governments. The attendance was not large. The European contt- nent was represented by about twen- ty-five delegates, including member of the Russian parliament. The gen. eral purpose seems to be to attempt to unify the action of the socialists in the various parliaments. Neither Herr Bebel, the German socialist leader, nor M. Jaurez, leader of the French socialists, was present. Sev- eral women delegates were in atten- dance.
 A resolution was adopted chang ing the title of the organization to socialist and labor interparliamen- tary committee"
 Tomorrow questions in relation to the condition of Russia will be the principal topics. when M. Anikin, leader of the Group of Toll In the lower house of the Russian parlia- ment, will lead the debate.

SUPERIOR IN EQUIPMENT.
Military Experts Pronounce on the
 Army of Salvador.

Washington, July 1T.-Milhary experts in this city on the basis of the best available information, COW ering the relative military resources of the several republics involved in war in Central America. pronounce the army of Salvador superior in equipment. training and discipline to the armies of the other republics. Thickly populated over its limited total area of 1,255 square miles, Sal yador can muster 10000 armed with armament equal to the best in Cen tral America.
 Though Guatemala Is seven times larger in territory and has T popula- ton of two millions. the Salvadorean army Is considered fo be more than match for 1t. The standing troops of Salvador number four thousand with a regular militia of 15o0. With an external debt of only 254.O0 pesos. it's finances are the best in Central America. The advantages of Salvador over theother republics arise from the thorough blending of her population. belonging to the Ladino type. pure Spanish or spanish Indian blood with practically no Aborigines.
 Guatemala's army numbers 1000 on peace footing with an morgan ized militia of 55.0oo. The republic relies for its military forces largely upon the military training imposed on all schools. public and private. Altogether 2i.0o0 pupils were under military drill in the Guatemalan schools ia 1904
 Honduras has for a population of $50. 600 spread over Ie.000 square miles. an army of 339 chiefs. 2.5s5 officers. 5z.sz0 miIItiamen of the first class. and 14.ss1 militiamen of the second class.

GAVE ALDERMAN THE HA. HA.
Queer Business Over the Raising of
 the Brooklyn Bridge.

That the republican members of the board of aldermen have taken very little interest in the efforts of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Im- provement committee to have the Bank street bridge raised was shown last evening when the matter was mentioned by Alderman Malone. The member from Brooklyn who is supp posed to have been looking out for this brought the matter to Chairman Filings attention.
 Did you understand, Mir Chair man." he asked, that the bridge was to be raised eighteen inches?" The chairman did not make reply im- mediately, SO Mir Malone said, That bridge. won't be six inches higher than the old one when it is finished" !" That's all he said about 1t, but the majority of the republicans and a couple of democrats thought 1t was huge joke. and member on the republican side of the house said in tone which was not very loud. but audible enough to be heard:
 Button, button, who's the suck err"
 Alderman Goss stated that he had been over there during the week and in his opinion the new section of the bridge will only be four inches high CT on the south side than the old one and eight inches higher on the. north side.
 Although the Brooklynites have fought hard for this thing 1t seems that they have been left out in the cold. for the board was sure that it would be at least eighteen inches higher than the old bridge.

St Petersburg, July 1.-The, em- peror last night approved the bill of the lower house of parliament, which was adopted by the upper house. ap- propriating $7,500,000 for famine re- lief, thus supporting the contention of both houses of parliament against his own ministers. This law is the first enactment of the Russian parlia- ment and represents the net legal re- suit of a session of over two months.

 The agrarian committee of the low CT house has completed the draft of an appeal to the country to counter act the effects of the governments agrarian proposals which have been sent broadcast throughout the em- pire. The document drawn up by the house committee calls attention to the fact that no solution of the ques- tion is possible, according to the man. ifesto of October 30, without the con- sent of parliament and reaffirms the adhesion of the house to the principle of the forcible appropriation of church, state, crowd and private lands in excess of normal amount and appeass to the peasants to re- main calm and await patiently the final action of the house.

The ofiirial Rossia declares there is no doubt that the assassination Of the general was planned by terrorists and appeals to all good citizens to uphold the authorities in their ef- forts to put an end to the spirit of Iawlessness which threatens to over whelm the country in anarchy.
