1t is the intention of Jewish residents
of the Hill section to protest against
the high rents demanded for dwellings

present time, and preliminary action to
this end was taken last night at a re-
ception given by the Arbeiter Circle in
Columbia Hall, at Prince and Court
streets, +
TIL circle is composed OF young
women, who are also connected with
various labor unions. They were out in
force last night, and the various male
branches, known as the workingmen's
circles, were well represented.
When President Landau, of Working
mans Circle No. %, was called on he
thanked the circle which was conduct
ing the reception, and before leaving
the platform urged those present, to-
gether with their friends, to attend Il
mass meeting which will o be called
to protest against the high rents levied
on tenants nowadays by the landlords.
His remarks were we'll received, and

PostOtfice, with every postofiice in the
country, started to count all pieces Of

The Proper Kind Of Man.

At this time Of the year people are
naturally discussing in their minds the
question, where shall we buy our goods ?
AS our answer to this important prob
lem we refere them to the advertising
columns In this issue. In our columns
will be found proclamations from all
the principal business houses in the
town. Never trade with a man who
does not advertise, If you want nice,
fresh, clean goods at reasonable prices.
Find a man who does not advertise,
and you will find a man who is as rusty
and eld-fashiOnsd as the goods which
he is trying to sell.

Construed As Larceny.

The refusal to turn over to its owner
money found on the street after being
properly Unidentified by its owner, was
construed as larceny under the Della
ware statute by a General Sessions Court
jury in Wilmington, and James bred
den, cOlored, indicted for larceny grow
ingout of such facts was sentenced to
six months imprisonment. He escaped
corporal punishment because Of previ-
GUS good reputation and the unusual
character Of the case, it being the first
one of the kind ever brought before the
court. The State proved that Louis
Enrich, while returning from the plant
of the Davis Pressed Steel Company
lost his pay envelope 4antaining $40;
that it was found by the l4-year.Old son
Of Dreddon, who turned the envelope
and money over to his father and that
Enrich, learning that the money was
in the possession Of DreddOn, demanded
it after proving the property. Upon
Dreddon's refusal to restore the money
Enrich had him arrested.

ROY MACKLIN FINED FOR
CRUELTY TO A HORSE.

A case Of cruelty to dumb animals
came to the notice of Humane Agent
Stout last week, and as a result Of his
investigation, Roy Macklin, aged %
years, OF Glendale, was fined S25 and
costs by Magistrate William A. War
ringtOn at Georgetown. The young man
beat valuable horse belonging to 1. F.
Baker, of Glendale, and not satisfied
with using a whip he belabOTed the
beast about the head with club, re.
sulting in knocking the animals right
eye out. Some woOdsmen told him to
take the horse home when they discov-
cred its condition, but Macklin replied
that as he had to work, the horse had
to do likewise, so the suffering animal
was made to work the rest OF the day
with its eye running out.
TThe above case was reported from
Glendale two weeks ago, but the cor
respondent spoke oft as an ACCIDENT;
but it has turned out to have been a re-
voting case of cruelty-and one which
a fine does not sufficiently punish. An
eye for an eye, would have been about
the right way to have dealt out justice.

Laborers Will Not Work in Milford.

This week the phosphate factories Of
Draper, Davis & Co., and the brick
work on the Masonic Hall were both
compelled to shut down because no one
could be hired to do labOring work.
Several negroes were laying around
idle, but refused to take wages Of $3.50
per day, and so business was brought to
a standstill. The schooner Edward V.
HENDERSON was unable to hire steve
dOres at twenty-five cents per hour to
unload phosphate. and the regular
workmen in the factories were stopped
from their work to do this. Carpenters
were compelled to drop their tools and
carry bricks up ladders three stories
high, SO that the masOns could complete
walls, and the carpenters go on with
their work. Yet a dozen able bodied
negroes and white laborers were sitting
around in idleness at that time. There
is a reason for this, and it must be, that
the idle class are receiving too much
money for the time they do work, which
enables them to live in idleness part of
the week.
