dous popularity. immense sums Of

features and the tremendous gains
made by it are the result of its excel
ence in every department. Tell your

Everything is looking very
warlike in the Cuban situation.
The insurgents are stubborn and
refuse to enter into peace relations
despite the efforts of Secretaries
Taft and Bacon the Peace ENJOYS
sent there by the United States.
The latter are striving every way
possible to get the citizens of the
Island to preserve their indepen-
dence but without effect. 1t now
seems almost certain that the
United States will have to intervene
and this gives rise to an anneXa-
ton sentiment as the best thing for
Cuba and for the United States.

Two coins clinked together give so
good an imitation of the robins metal
lie note that this device has long been
employed in England to attract the
welcome "harbinger of spring." For
merly male robins were shared by the
clinking of two copper pennies near a
dummy bird. The dummy was perched
on a twig smeared with bird lime, and
cock robin. attracted by the sound and
suspecting a rival, flew at him with
blood in his eye. This is in violation of
the bird laws in the United States, and
no one who lives where robins make
their home in confidence is likely to
give the odd trick so unpleasant a
finale. The clinkmg coppers serve a
much more agreeable purpose as a
means of rendering cock robin socia-

DUPONT MAY VISIT KENT AND SUSSEX.
Such a Trip Considered Wise Plan, as the
SeHatOr-elect Is Of Retiring Disposition.

United States Senator Henry
A. Dupont has just returned from a
four months trip abroad. He and his
private secretary are busy over pile
of mail that had accumulated during
the Senator'S stay in Europe. Senator
Dupont says his continental trip
was not merely for pleasure, as
he attended to important bust
ness matters in Paris aud Berlin. He
is in excellent health, despite re-
ports to the contrary. Is is likely that
as soon as he disposes of urgent mat
tiers on hand Senator Dupont will issue
formal statement of appreciation of
the honor conferred upon him. There
is talk among some of the Republican
leaders that Senator Dupont contem-
plates taking trip through the State,
and especially the lower counties, to
meet the Republicans there prior to
the election in November, or possibly
before registration day on October 20,
Colonel Dupont has seldom been il
Kent or Sussex Counties, except wher
attending Republican conventions, ant
the Republican leaders in the lower
counties think that it would be gooC
policy for the new Senator to circulate
through Kent and Sussex. Nothing
definite has been done regarding this
but the matter in all probability will
be brought to Senator Dupont's atten
ton in few days. No arrangement
have been made for public reception
to Senator Dupont, although there j
talk of it among some of his admirers

FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful Sores.

a felon. OF whitlow, IS an infamma- |
zion of the hand or finger usually Of |
the last joint of the finger. Its impOr-
lance varies with the seat of it-that is
TO say, with the portion of the finger
involved. 1t may affect the skin only,
the tendOns or Sinews or the fbrouS
covering of the bOne-the periOsteum.
A superficial whitlOw, where the in.
fiammation is confined to the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise it
is not very serious matter. But this
cannot be said of the other two forms.
In the tendinOus whitlOw pus forms
in the fibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon, and unless the Inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into tine palm of the hand and result IN
permanent gripping of the member.
The third variety-called by ply
sicians the subperiOsteal-is that in
which matter forms beneath the men,
brane which covers the bone AS this
membrane is tough and inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this inflamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical, although the cut
hurts. This is the only treatment for
this form Of felOn, and the incision
should be made early, for if it is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which will later necessitate a surgical
operation even if it does not result in
the loss of the last joint of the finger
The superficial whitlOw does not
usually call for such radical treatment
A clay poultice often affords great re
lief. This may be made by making a
paste of clay previously sterilized by
baking in very hot oven and adding
glycerin to prevent too rapid drying OIL
the clay may be obtained ready prepar
ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger from injury, keeps it cool and, il
applied early enough, may prevent thu
formation of matter When onch pu
has formed, however, no matter VIVA
the variety of the felon, the safest plal
Of treatment is to cut into the infame,
finger and give exit to the confinet
matter and relieve the tension of th
parts,-Youth's Companion.

bury-Bryan invited to Speak 10 Delaware
The Democratic State Committee |
met Thursday afternoon at the Rich
ardson House Dover. Hezekiah Har-
rlngton was made temporary chairman
and DR.. Samson, temporary secretary.
On motion of Willard Salisbury, sec
onded by ex Secretary of State James
H. Hughes, Thomas F. Bayard of
Wilmington, was elected chairman.
On motion of A. f. Polk, General W.
Fl. Stevens was elected vice chairman.
On motion of J. Thomas Lowe, James
Lord was reelected secretary. On
motion of L. Irving Handy, Elihu j.
Morris was elected treasurer. A mo-
tion prevailed that William Jennings
Bryan be invited to make four or five
speeches in Delaware this fall. 1t was
desired that Mr.. Bryan make his visit
here before October 20, the last regis
tration day. ExJudge David 7. Mar
vel, the Democrat nominee for Con-
gress, was present at the com mittee
meeting. The committee were OPP
timistic as to the chance of Democrat
ic success. Thomas F. Bayard, the
new state chairman, is prominently
identified with the Anti Bribery
movement.
There was considerable sparring be-
tween the factions represented in the
committee before the session was called
Former Congressman l.. Irving
Handy's friends had been making a
lively canvas for him for state chair
man, and the committeeman had been
pretty well worked up in support of
Handy. 1t was confidently expected
when the line up came the friends OF
Handy would be in control, and he
would be placed at the head of the
Democratic organization, which would
give him a big boost in his candidacy
for United States Senator should the
Democrats control the Legislature.
But there was sudden twist IN the
situation.
The Salisbury supporters were an
xious that Wizard Salisbury shou Id
be chosen chairman, but when it was
found that he would not run agar
: they turned to Thomas F. Bayard
who was supported by Mr.. Salisbury.
1t was recalled that Ssulsbury's friends
had worked for Bayardror State Sena
| tor in the Democratic nomination il

Senator Kenney on the committee
u also turned in for Bayard, and it wa

When are our business men 60
ing to get together to ask for better
service from the Pennsylvania
Railroad? Smyrna is one of the
most important towns in the state
and it would seem that a little
effort might be made toward get
ting a better and more up-to-date
Railroad Station and have the
Smyrna Branch to meet all trains,
Sunday included. The Sunday
traffic has grown very largely since
the Sunday train service was inau-
gurated and patrons of the road 60
ing from and coming to Smyrna
are obligated to hire a hack to trans
port them to and from Clayton.
This is expensive and great in
convenience and if our citizens
would get together and lay the
matter squarely before the Penn
sylvonia Railroad authorities there
is every reason to believe that the
request will receive serious Consid-
Grafton. The Smyrna Branch train
which takes passengers to meet the
I.IS train north from Clayton
should by all means make a triI
back to Smyrna to bring passenger
coming north. Business men whC
like to go to Dover would appre
ciate this service and it would hell
the Railroad. There is no reason
why Smyrna with its 5000 inhabit
ants, active manufacturing indus
tries, business enterprises, anC
natural advantages should no
have every railroad accommodate
ion that is accorded other town
of the Peninsula and the peopl
of Smyrna should rise up and de
mand their rights.

The Ambition Of Chin Fin
Copyright, 1906, by c. ]. Hirt. ]

Copyright, 1906, by C. ]. Hirtl
Chin Fin was born on the island
OF Hainan, in the China sea, and he
was content with his lot until arriv-
ing at the age of sixteen. Then he be-
gan to ache to do great things. He
was a precocious youth and fairly well
educated.
At the age of eighteen, when Chin
Fin sailed for Singapore to broaden
his mind, he was as we'll posted on
the subject of piracy as the average
American consul His father patted
him on the back and told him to be q
good boy and do all the grating he
could. and his mother fell on his neck
and wept and cautioned him that she
was badly in need of a pair of dia-
mond earrings and a chatelaine watch.
The young man arrived at his deStina-
tiOn right side up and began to look
around for tough people to consort
with. He found about 10000 of them.
must first become a tough man. He
got in with the gang without any trou-
bic. He became a swindIer, thief
robber and worse. He passed the first
six months in learning his A B C's and
the next six in Jail. When his Singa-
pore record was finally looked up it
was found that he had had a hand in
about 100 different 'jobs" in three
years and that these, ''jobs" ranged
from gold brick swindles to Sitting
threats. How many of his little
curves the police failed to get on to
can only be guessed at
When Chin Fin reached his majority
he was ready for piracy on the high
seas. He had passed through all other
grades of crime, and even the police
had paid him the compliment of being
a Crackajack. In spite Of his youth
he could lead men, and, as for plan
ming, no one could equal him. He had
saved his cash instead of blowing 1t
in, and he had induced certain other
tough chaps to do the same, and so
when the time came he was we'll heel
ed. That time came when he learned
that certain merchants of Singapore
were to ship large sum Of money by
q sailing vessel to Manila. It was not
only in the way of trade, but the mer-
chants were going to make corner in
the hemp market.
Chin Fin got his news straight. He
bribed a confidential clerk to get it,
and then murdered the clerk to get
his money back and prevent any case
of conscience. An agent was instruct
ed to purchase ship and fit her out
with guns, while Chin Fin attended to
getting a crew. The day came when
his craft was all ready and only wait
ed the sailing of the other. 1t had so
happened that on an occasion Chin Fin
had desired to burglarize the house of
the parents of one of his gang The
son filed objections. He thought it
was carrying a good thing too far
