like some have said that wife and

say that our married life was a
mixture Of pleasure and trials and
at Its termination the pleasures had
by far overbaianced Its trials. Mar
rage is what those entering into IL
make 1t. II the primary cause is
true love for each other and that
love is cultivated as II should be af-
ter marriage that marriage viii not

commended by all persons who be-
lieve in the perpetuation OF the d.
vine command. to multiply and re-
plenish the earth. This assertion
harmonizes with the doctrine of the
true God who said IL was not good
that the man should be alone. Mar
rage is desirable, because of its ben
eficial results, for by it's habitual
practice. we have the honored faith

ed land. We have the loving and low
able children and we have the APP

GRAND JURY DISCHARGED.
Its Annual Report Makes Recommends
tlons as 10 some County Instituuuna


Its Annual Report Makes Recommends
tioRs as 10 some County Instituu0ns
The grand jury made ita final report
today. The report shows that 2o7 in
dictments have been brought before
the jury during the ear and that 24b
true bills have been found and u
ignored,
The grand jury recommended two
additional tiTe escapes for the County
Hospital, with doors on the ground
floor Of all fire escapes, 40 that the
doors IN the upper tioora can be left
open, the fire escapes TO be screened in
properly.
The water supply at the institution
was also reported to be lhmentably
short in case Of lire. The grand jury
recommended that a tunnel be made
from the hreroom TO beyond he danger
line. The Jurors contend that II IRE
should break out inside the stairway
leading 70 the hreroom IL would soon
cut OH both the inside and outside
exits.
They pronounce the workhouss a
model institution and had no sug-
gestions TO offer,
The grand jury recommended that
when the county feels able ID build
small cottages at the Ferris Industrial
School for the purpose Of dividing the
boys into small groups, assigning one
group 60 each cottage.
As a result Of tho inspection OF the
County Court House the grand jury
recommended that ouspidoTes be placed
in cells in basement and the prisoners
he comuelled 10 use them.
For the safety of the records IN the
Offices Of the recorder Of deeds, pro-
thonotary, register Of Wills, clerk Of
the Orphans Court and register in
ChanoeIy, the grand jury recommended I'd
steel filing cases aud book racks be
provided. They also recommended that
all connecting doorways be bricked
and that all other doorways be fitted
with steel doors, thereby making each
Office a separate vault
In speaking Of its visit to the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls the
Jury remarked that few people OF IN e
county know of the good work being
done by that institution. The Jurors
recommended that the school be placed
upon the same appropriation basis az
the county woTkhouse and Ferris In
dustIial School. As the school is
operated upon the theory that the body
must be gotten in good physical con-
dition before much improvement can
be made TO the mind, the report states
that a gymnasium Is much needed by
the school and recommended that the
Levy Court, as soon % possible, see
that the gymnasium is provided. At
present the school has good play
grounds, but no PLACE foI the girls 20
exercise in bad weather.
The court accepted the report and
ordered that q copy Of u be spread
upon the minutes and that copy be
sent to the various institutions men,
toned therein.
10 discharglnR the grand jury from
any further attendance, Chief Justice
Lore thanked the members and com
mended them Tor the services they
have rendered the county.

From Washington to Take
ObserVatiohs-C Conflicting
Reports.
SPECIAL coTreFpondenoo Of Every Evonlng.

special Correspondence Of Every Evening.
Dover, Feb. 9.-In response to re.
guests OF certain Union Republicans Of
Kent county, T. Coleman du pont
came here at noon today for the pur-
pose OF conierIiug with Union Repub-
iicans Of the county who are not IN
accord With Senator j. Frank Allee's
uolioies and methods Of running the
Union Republican paTty in lower
delaware.
The stand taken by Mr.. du Pont
recently, IN apparent hostility to Sena-
tor Allse's methods, will in a measure
be the object of bis visit here today,
to convince those Union Republicans
who may have doubted bis position
and further to make plain his attitude
IN the coming campaign.
United States Sc lator j. Frank
Alice arrived here last evening, rather
unexpectedly, presumably to watch de-.
yelopments Of today's conference. DR..
George W. Marshall, chairman OF the
keat County Union Committee, is also
here.
That there is some concern over to-
days meeting was evidenced by a con-
ference held here last night by certain
Union Republicans, friends Of Senator
Alice. The Alice men are claiming
that there exists the most friendly re-
lationB, both socially and politically,
between Senator Alice and I. O.
du Pont. As to the political part OF
the claim, the contention Of the Alice
men 10 just the opposite.

NEW LEGAL POINT RAISED.

Contentiou That the Law Permits An As
sault aud battery Case TO be Settled AZ
Any Time the Conditions Warrant,
whether Testimony Has Been Taken
or Nor.
In order that Judge Cochran might
look up the law bearing on a point
was raised by the attorney represent
ina Joseph Aokerman, who had hear
ing in the Municipal Court, yester-
day, on the charge Of committing an
assault and battery on Thomas Z.
Davis. ON January 10Th, at the shops
of the Trump Brothers Machine Co.,
the case was continued until next
Wednesday morning. The point raised
by the attorney was that the case could
be settled by the parties involved, even
IL the testimony In the case had been
heard Assistant City Solicitor Rice
contended that the case could not be
settled out OF court after any Of the
evidence had been heard.
The law which the attorney repre-
ssntine the accused quoted was to the
effect that q justice OF the peace may
dismiss q case, II he learns that the
case has been settled out Of court, any
time before he announces his decision,
upou the payment OF the costs. As
sistant City Solicitor Rice ountonded
that the Judge OF the Municipal Court
has more power in assault and battery
cases than justice OF the peace, and
therefore IL is altogether different.
judge Cochran said be was Tired OF
30 many cases being dropped alter they
had been brought into court and that
he was going to try to put a stop to it.
The attorney representing AoEerman
informed the court that the prose-
cutting witness had agreed to drop the
case, but the court decided. not 10 let
the case be settled until he ruled on
the point brought up.
Davis, the man assaulted, is still at
the Homeopathic Hospital, suffering
from the injuries he is alleged to have
sustained.
George Jones, colored, charged with
committing an assault and battery
on Rachel Davis, also oolored, was
fined $40. The assault is said to have
been committed yesterday morning &C
Third and TRtnall streets. Police
Otlcer King, who arrested Jones, had
an exciting chase to catch him. When
Jones learned that the police we're
after him, it is said, he ran into
house on Orange street and dashed TO
the roof. The officer followed him and
after a struggle succeeded in getting
the man down TO the street.
Hayes Benton, colofed, charged with
committing an assault and battery on
Mary Z. Short, also colored, was fined
$40.
