GOOD NEWS FROM KENT.

GHEERING and good news comes from Kent
- county. The disposition among some OF
the candidates named at the recent convention to
retire from the ticket so that the dissatisfied ele-
ment could be given representation has worked
for good. There is a feeling that all the Re
ubcans will be working in harmony ard that
the county will be carried by the party on cleo
ton day We believe that the good sense OF the
Republicans will prevail that whatever differ
ences exist will be settled and that Kent county
will join with New Castle and Sussex in giving
the party a splendid triumph next month.
No Republicans can desire to see the State re-
turn to Democratic control There is nothing in
the platform Of the Democrats to command the
attention of thoughtful voters 1t is merely a
hodge-podge of stuff with about the only prin-
cpe that the party ever had-tariff reducslors-
for any length of time, left out.
Kent county Republicans will not wish to undo
the work of years in building up the Republican
party to its success.

His first experience was in 1S4S or
l1S49, when he became connected with
Troy firm. Collars at that time were
all made by hand, as it was not until
1853 that sewing machines were intro
duced. II was a hard matter to induce
firms to use the machines, as they were
afraid that they would make collars
so fast that they would become a drug
on the market.
The Colonel speaks amusingly of how
collars We're boxed in olden days They
were put into oetagonal boxes holding

pasted on the boxes giving the differ

was last here as the speaker Of the Young Mems
Democratic Club he delivered an academic adj

favors a revision and change in the tariff when
necessary Hence, if Mr.. Williams touches that
question and influences his followers, the only

inss Against Railway Companies.
What is thought TO be the first OF a
long list Of suits, the outcome OF tho
recent tieup OF the steamers Of the Bal
timore. Chesapeake and Atlantic and
the Maryland. Delaware and Virginia
Railway Companies, has been instituted
by r. Groome Parks, a youns attorney
Of Chestertown, Md. against the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Railway
Company.
Mr.. Parks went TO Baltimore just
prior 20 the tieup on a round-trip ticket
from Chestertown. In tho meantime
the tieup took place. He presented
himself at the company's Baltimore
wharf. but could not get transportation,
and was compelled to return to Ches-
tertown by rail at considerably in
tcreased expense. The suit is for the
increased cost OF the return trip to
Chestertown by rail above what the
return ticket from Baltimore to Ches-
tertown by boat cost him. The COM
lpany I'm all of these cases offered to re-
deem the return coupons, but would not
consent to pay the increased cost of
fare over other than its own steamer
lines
The Kent county case is in the ma
ture Of a test suit, and will be closely
watched by scores Of people who were
similarly situated TO Mr.. Parks.

Connaught. The young prince is now
nearly %, and it is considered time
that he was married and settled. Moth
ing will be definitely settled until
Prince Arthur returns from his present
mission to Japan. The names Of vari-
Gus eligible princesses are being scrut-
inized, however, and it is regarded as
certain that formal news of mis- be-
trothal will be forthcoming during the
summer. 1t is understood that Prince
Arthur has definite views of his own
in the matter and that despite the we'll
meaning efforts of his family he will
choose his bride for himself. Further,
if rumor may be relied upon, he has
already made his choice.

Resigns a Throne.

VIENNA, Jan. 20.-The Archduke
Ferdinand Charles is credited with the
intention of marrying lady of humble
birth. The love affair is two years
old, and was interrupted by the strenu-
Gus opposition of the royal family, es-
pecially of the archduke's brother, the
Archduke Otto. 1t is now learned that
Archduke Ferdinand is again pressing
his suit, and is resolved to abdicate his
privileges and assume his title of Bar
on Rottenstein in order to wed the
lady. The Archduke Ferdinand is the
youngest son of the late Archduke Karl
Ludwig and as such is in direct line to
the throne of Emperor Francis Joseph.

WA|TsBURG CREAMERY STILL IDLE
CHAIRMAN AND MRS. MORROW
IN SEATTLE ATTENDING
DAUGHTER CLAIRE.

WAITSBURG, Jan. 20.-The Waits
burg creamery is still lying idle. This
is partly due to the fact that it is the
poorest time Of year in which to start
a creamery and partly due, SO the trus-
tees of the creamery association tell
us, to lack of enthusiasm or interest
on the part Of our business men.
Several pledges of $4,000 each
which are necessary to put the cream
cry out of debt, have not been paid
and it is also desirable that several
more shares of stock be sold to give
the association a little surplus to start
with, to pay for fuel, supplies, etc.
County Commissioner j. H. Morrow
and Mrs. Morrow left Monday evening
for Seattle in response to a telegram
giving the information that their
daughter Claire had undergone an ope-
ration at that place for appendicitis.
Miss Claire left here only a few days
ago to return to school at the State
University after spending the holidays
with her parents. The news of her
sudden illness came as a severe shock
to Mr. and Mrs. Morrow made all the
more disturbing owing to the fact that
their elder daughter Gala died of ap-
pendicitis about a year and half ago.

getting along very well indeed.

One of the most distinguished women
who have ever visited this city is
Mrs. o. S. Fowler, of New York, widow
Of Prof. o. S. Fowler, the celebrated
phrenologist, author and lecturer
Prof. Fowler was a thorough student
of the human brain and perhaps no
man has ever mastered more funda-
mental facts relative to minds control
over matter than did he. In all his
work Prof. Fowler had the support,
encouragement and help Of his wife, a
woman of high attainments and Won
derful perceptive faculties. Her work
published by Prof. Fowler, and her
womanly instinct aided in many of the
experiments which have enlightened
the world in the past half century, She
is a woman of wonderful insight, of
studious habits, of courage, of strong
magnetic temperament, of impressive
appearance. Her life has been given
to the study of the human brain and
it's development, to planning to assist
men and women to do their very best
work, that success may be common in
business and social life instead of
failure Her work is tending to
change the proportion of successful
men from two or three per cent to the
other extreme. Failure is stamped
upon 81 or SO per cent Of men because
they do not understand themselves and
the conditions and environment which
seem to control them
Dr. Sidney Murphy, one of the most
prominent physicians in the country,
endorses Mrs. Fowler's work heartily.

1.-THE JAPANESE PARLIAMENT
Was Reopened Today al Toxic
With Usual Ceremonies.
ITO DEAL WITH IMPORTANT MATTERS
New Loan Of Over Two Hundred Mil
lion Dollars Is to Be
Authorized.
TO DEAL WITH IMPORTANT MATTERS

TOXIC, Jan. 20.-The japanese par
lament reopened it's session today with
the usual ceremonies. The present
session will have to deal with many
them more important than the prob
lem of providing for the financial
policy of the country A new loan of
s215, 100000 is to be raised and $751;,
100000 of that amount is to be paid
to the soldiers and sailors of Japan in
recognition of their services.
1t is the intention Of the government
to have the entire new loan made at
nome. Of the total amount 100000, 900
will be raised in the open market,
which is not likely to feel a pressure
on this account, because in the course
of the year the government is to re-
deem exchequer bonds for the benefit
of the market. Of the remainder of
the new issue $75,000,000, as already
stated, will be paid to the soldiers and
sailors of the late war; $40,000,00O,
which need only be issued gradually
is to be taken up by the Government
Savings Deposit bureau. The reim-
bursement by Russia of the expenses
for the maintenance of the prisoners is
not included in this financial scheme
because the amount has not yet been
ascertained The new issue will de-
crease by the amount of the payment
receivable from Russia.
The normal expenditures for the
year, not connected with the war, are
estimated at 100000 and are to be
met by the normal revenues in exist
ence. The expenditures resulting from
the war; such as the service Of the
war debts, annuities, pensions, main
tenance of the garrisons in Manchuria
and Korea, etc., are estimated at $780,
100000 and are to be met by the reve-
taxes and by other resources, which
consist Of the proceeds of the loans al
ready issued, the sale of the booty and
other disused articles, and the new
loan, already mentioned.
For the payment of principal and in
terest on the loans already issued and
to be issued hereafter in connection
with the war, the government will set
apart from the revenues a sum of $685.,
100000 annually, and the whole nation
al debts incurred in consequence of the
war are to be paid in about 81 years.
Besides this sum of SIS, 100000 is to
be set apart each year for paying the
principal and interest of the loans Gre
ated before the war In order to in
sure their proper handling a special
account will be set up for these funds,
keeping them entirely separate from
the general accounts of the govern
ment. The National Debts Consolida-
ton Bureau and the National Debts
Consolidation Committee have been
specially instituted for that purpose.
There is no doubt that the parlia-
ment will give the government the
fullest support to make it possible to
carry out these plans with perfect
success.
