F0LLY'S INFINITUDE.

The fool we have with us always.
The booze fool the, gun-fool, the boat
rocking fool, all the specialists in folly,
and the ordinary, irresponsible fool;
all are in constant and conspicuous evi-
dence. The two first are, perhaps, the
most manifest, travelling in couples as
they do almost invariably. The latest
to come to this mans town are of this
species; one lies in the county jail
almost bereft Of what little reason he
ever possessed on account of his booze
and, his friends gun; the other lies in
the hospital, utterly bereft of every
yestige Of sense and most of his gray
matter, on account Of his friends booze
and his own gun. They did not quarrel;
they simply tussled for the gun after
they had been physically and mentally
reduced to responsibility by the abun-
dance Of the liquor. The life of one is
sacrificed completely, the career of the
other ruined for such years as may be
allotted him. It is booze primarily, Of
course. This is fundamentally behind
nine-tenths of the worlds folly, and
therefore, the supreme idiosyncracy, the
universal cardinal folly of them ell.

SAVING THE IREDALE.

An engineering problem is to be
solved in the case Of the British bark
Peter Iredal, now stranded on the sands
of Clatsop, and there are, as usual,
hundreds Of rumors as to the methods
to be employed to put the vessel back
into harbor waters safe and sound.
These rumOs come from men to whom
ships are familiar things and their hand
ling a matter of everyday life; they
come from people with no knowledge
Of marine matters, but whose training
lies In channels analogous to civil en-
ginry; they come from contractors and
Others, to whom big jobs of lifting,
transporting and building are frequent
and soluble themes. The commonly ac-
cepted theory in the case of the Ire
dale is, however, that she will have
to be hauled overland, to the southerly
channels of the Columbia river, a dis.
tance not less, by any computation.
than two and three-quarter miles. One
man in Astoria has declared he can do
the work for $4,000, and will do it,
If he can get the contract. We await
-
the outcome of the problem with deep
interest, and hope it may be success
fully accomplished; but the hope. ire

is tinctured with doubt that win not

ut is an old axiom that, that coun.

loyal workers win always have faithful
servants. Astoria Is on the eve of
great things. This city must and will
have population Of, at least 10000,
inside Of two years. Astoria needs and
shall have wide awake, honest and
economical administration Of its public
affairs. Astorians must get together.
I can make no promises but say that I

Minstrels-IIaye YOU heard Beach x
Bowers minstrel bandg It's wonder.
II will be here on Sunday next, Novem.
Der O. The coming of Beach & Bowers
Ministries to the Astoria Theater Is
heralded with pleasure. It's now the
oldest minstrel company on the road
under one continuous management and
we are fortunate in getting perform
ance from them. 1t will furnish as
much fun and entertainment as any
show Of its kind. It Is all new, orig.
inal and funny. The singing Is as per.
feet as is heard in the very best opera
companies. The specialties cannot be
beaten and are decidedly laughable and
intensely interesting, as Beach & Bow
ers have called to their assistance an
array of talent that places their com
pany in the van of minstrelsy. The
minstrel boys are young, active and up
to-date, and seem untiring in their eff
forts to please, and they arouse the
spectators to the highest pitch OF en-
thusiasm.

The greatest foe to home peace and
happiness is worry. The habit of wor-
ry keeps us crossing bridges before we
have reached them. The evils that fret
US most are those which threaten us,
but have not yet arrived. Stop think
ing about the bread you are afraid
will not rise in the morning, the new
dress you are sure the dressmaker will
spoil and next months bills. If you will
firmly resolve to worry only about the
evil or special hardship that confronts
you this hour or minute, and cannot be
avoided, ninety-nine times out of a
hundred, you will find there is no such
evil or hardship.

Rent, foodstuffs, and all clothing are
going up in price in all the cities. But
wages and the prices paid to farmers
for their products are not rising. The
trusts buy cheap and sell high, because
they have monopoly. We need look
no further for the basis of the sscialis-
tic tendency Of the poor in the great
cities

Blessed is the man who can rest and
enjoy it. Young men cannot because
they need to be making name and a
fortune. Old men cannot because, in
ured to employment all their lives, they
break down and die when left with
nothing but time on their hands. Work
is the greatest blessing of the age. The
curse Of work is in over doing it.

Just now the most prosperous coun-
try in the world seems to be New Zea-
land. Out Of population Of little
less than 100000, one-third have
money in the savings banks. The
wealth per head is nearly $500, which
is the largest Of any country in the
world. Statistics show for New Zea-
land the highest health and the lowest
death rate Of any country.

Adopted By the Council at
Called Meeting Tuesday
Night.
SEWER TROUBLE FIXED.
Many New Licenses Will Be
Imposed On and After
July LIST.

The City Council met Tuesday
night in adjourned session with
Councilmen, Clark, Ware, Jackson,
Glass ard Armstrong present.
The Council authorized the Mayor
to accept a compromise settlement
with the trustees of Bethel Female
College in regard to the large sewer
going through the college grounds
by agreement. Prof. Edmund Har-
rison offered to relinquish any rights
held under the former agreement if
the city would defray the expense Of
connecting the college with the
Hopkinsville Sewerage Company's
System. About 200 feet of pipe will
be required.
A compromise with Miss Fannie
Phelps and sisters was also author
lied, by which the city will furnish
them free company sewerage service
n lieu of the right to use the fresh
water sewer for sewerage purposes.
Their right grew out of an agree
ment by which the drainage was
conducted through the Phelps lands.
This settlement, if made as author
lied, will remove the probability of
litigation growing out of the matter,
which has been in an unsettled con-
dition for several years.
The revision of the license system
to conform to the new State law was
a special order and occupied most of
the councils time until nearly eleven
O'Clock. The. ordinance to be pre-
pared for publication makes many
additions to the city licenses and also
makes a few changes in the old
schedule. Under the new schedule,
hotels, restaurants, eating stands,
vendors of merchandise by canvass
ing, solicitors. peddlers and buck
sters are among those required to
pay license. Brokers, sewing ma
chine agencies, insurance agencies,
cigarette dealers, dealers in pistols,
dirks, brass knucks, playing cards
and many other articles taxed by
the state will be required to pay city
license also on and after July LIST.
The liquor licenses was not chang
ed and express companies, exchange
Offices and telegraph offices were left
for future consideration.

GENE DUFFY
BEING TRIED
Yesterday Consumed in TAX
ing of Testimonials and
Argument.
CHEANEY CASE FRIDAY.
This Trial Will Probably
Last Several
Days.

The case Of Gene Duffy charged
with the murder of Dave Cowherd,
another negro, was called Tuesday
afternoon. Both sides announced
ready and the jury was
made up early yesterday morning.
the taking of testimony was conclud-
ed shortly after noon and after the
argument the case was given to the
jury. Cowherd was struck on the
head with bed slat one afternoon
last October His skull was fractur-
ed and he died in about ten days af-
ter being injured. An operation
was performed a few days after the
trouble, pieces of the skull being Ia
ken out, but the negro continued
to grow worse. Duffy was arrested
shortly after the lick was struck,
and was charged with malicious
striking and wounding with intent
to kill. After the death of Cowherd,
he was indicted for murder, The
trouble that caused the death of
Cowherd occurred on Ninth street
between Main and Virginia.
Parlalee Clark was granted an alb
solute divorce from her husband,
James Clark.
The case of the Commonwealth
against John Cheaney, under indict-
ment for murder, in the killing of
Maud Ellis, is set for tomorrow, the
18th day of the term, and trial will
likely be entered into.
The damage suit of Jim Spicer,
COL, against the L. & N. railroad
company, was tried Tuesday and
resulted in verdict for the defend
ant company. Spicer sued for $500,
alleging that he sustained personal
injuries by being thrown from a
wagon which he claimed was struck
by one of the company's engines and
that said injuries were the result of
carelessness and negligence on the
part of the railroad company's en-
ployes.

by, COL, against the l. c. railroad
company, found for the plaintiff in
the sum of $500. Glasby was in

DR.. Invton,a Victory

As was expected, the fight in the Sussex
County Union Republican Committee. at
Georgetown, yesterday, resulted in vic
tory for DR.. Caleb r. Layton, and installed
him in the position of leader of the party
organization in that county. But it was
not an overwhelming victory, nor did the
Layton programme go through in its
entirety.
Chairman Cahall was not deposed as a
member of the committee. He represents
Georgetown, whore Layton lives, and the
programme was TO drive him from the
committee on the plea that he is now a
resident Of Dover and not of Georgetown.
But Layton could not command the votes
enough to do this.
Cahall was deprived of the committee
craftsmanship, by the election of John W.
Bennett of Milford as his successor
Bennett is a strong AddicSs man, not an
Alice man.
Layton's victory, therefore, inures to
the benefit Of Addicks, and not to the
benefit of Alice.
And so il would appear that the end OF
his double game will be the throwing down
of Alice, and not of AddiclSs, after he has
secured the fat Federal position which
Alice is about to bestow upon him.
AT least this is the way the situation
shows up, unless
The reputed break between Addicks
and Alice is a mere pretence, designed to
throw dust in the eyes of Republicans of
all factions until combination may be
secured which will support both Addicks
and Alice for the United States Senate.
The report that the du Points are out of
politics and will make no alliance with
Alice gives confirmation to this pre-
sumption.
As we before remarked: Time will tell.

GOOD Ronda Movemant.

The amendment 10 the Constitution of
New York permitting the issue of bonds TO
the amount of $50 .OOO000 for the improve
ment OF the main highways Of tho state.
having been adopted at the recent election
the various organizations interested in the
problem are at work upon the plans for
making the Improvements. There seems
TO be a general demand for the creation of
a permanent bureau in the office OF the
State engineer to direct and manage the
expenditure OF the money The best
highway work inAthis country is done in
Massachusetts, with three highway COM
missioners, and there are no roads in this
country that are better built, better
constructed, and better cared for than IN
Massachusetts Connecticut and New
Jersey roads are built under the direction
OF one highway commissioner Both OF
these States have "a small area, and small
highway mileage to care for as compared
with the State of New York but IN France
they care for 25 600 miles of main highway
with one commissioner in charge of the
entire system, and be does il so well that
the French roads have the reputation Of
being the best i'm the world
According 10 those interested in good
roads, what a highway system needs is
permdnency Of thought in the control of
the expending OF the money, and they
declare that, If a method could be devised
by which the present competent and
efficient men in the State engineers de-
partment, who are now engaged almost
exclusively on the road work of the State.
could be retained as they are and con-
verted into a road department in the
engineers Office that should have per-
manent head appointed for term Of FIVE
years, the result would be an economical
and efficient department.
These suggestions we're made with
direct reference to the State Of New York.
by those engaged in good road work there.
but they have a very important bearing
upon the good road situation in Delaware.

Real Football Reform.

In the way of real football reform the
"Big Nine colleges Of the West Chicago
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North
western, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Pur.
due-havo set practical example of how
to bring about the desired result.
On Saturday last, by formal action.
these colleges abolished the present game
Of football, and decided to await from the
new football committee such playing rules
"as will free the game from brutality and
unnecessary danger" If such altera-
tions arc not sufficiently sweeping, the
"Big Nine" viii appoint its own committee
to draw up rules. But the good worl,
did not stop there. These colleges barred
out all graduate players, no matter from
what college; urged that freshmen he
also ruled out, thus restricting players
TO three years on a team; limited entrance
fees TO games to fifty cents; abolished
training tables and fixed the number of
intercollegiate games to be played by
each team at FIVE in season.
Now let the other universities and col
leges of the country do likewise and foot
bali will be reformed, whether the COM
mittee now considering the subject does
good work or no work at all The institu-
tions may reform the game or abolish it,
and surely il will be better to abolish it
than TO longer countenance il under the
present disgraccful conditions.
