The effect on his hearers was con
fusing. Many believed he told some
truth with many lies. The jury was
the most phiegmatic of all At nc
time did any member seem to show
interest.
Haywood and his kinsfolk listened
quietly to the long recital, and about
their first show of feeling was one of
amusement when Richardson began
his onslaught and brought out Or
chard's domestic crimes.
Under rapid-f1re cross-examination
of Richardson, counsel for Haywood,
Orchard was subjected to grilling
fxyn NH nrdj-
nary witness would have como to
pieces. That he is not an ordinary
witness became apparent early in
the proceedings and his narrative of
murder and assassination was not
shaken on any material points.
He admitted he was a powder
thief, an ore thief, bigamist, muir
derer, stool pigeon for the nline
owners detectives, the fountain head
of crime in the district. He admitted
he was detective Of the mine own
ers secret service in Colorado in
1903 before he had been six months
in the camp and before he had made
the acquaintance of Haywood, Meyer
or Pettibone.
Orchard admitted that the first
time he met the officials of the Fed
Grafton in Denver the trip was taken
at the suggestion Of K. G. Sterling,
chief of the mine owners secret SER
vice, and D. G. Scott, railroad and
Citizens Alliance detective. The lat
ter paid all the expenses and accom-
panied Orchard to Denver. Orchard
introduced himself to Haywood and
Meyer
The understanding between Scott
and Orchard was that Orchard should
"get next" to Meyer and Haywood
and connect them in some way with
the violence in Cripple Creek.
Orchards admissions that he has
been faithless to every man an
every woman with whom he was on
terms of friendship, betrayed both
sides in the mine war, killed eighteen
persons and said he was sorry he did
not kill more, has somewhat shat
tered the confidence of friends of the
State. His role as detective was
presented in the afternoon. 1t was
due to the fact that he had not been
paid for killing Mccormick and Beck

The over blouse with the kimono

novel, at the same time that it is en-

almost limitless ways. In the illus

Bayard Statue Unwilling

A statue of the late Thomas F. Bayard
will be unveiled in Rockford Park, Will
mington, on Saturday afternoon. The
ceremonies will include an address by
former President Cleveland and Federal
Judge George Gray.
Thomas F. Bayard was DeIaware's
greatest statesman in the generation just
past, having served in the U. S. Senate
for years.
1t is particularly appropriate that Mr..
Cleveland should take the leading part
! in the unwilling ceremonies. During his
first administration as President, Mr..
Bayard held the position Of Secretary OF
State under him, while during his second
term the Delaware statesman was &C.
lected to represent this country at the
Court of st. James as Ambassador, a
diplomatic position then newly created,
Mr.. Bayard being the first to hold it.
The statue, which was modelled by
Miss Efie Stillman now Mrs. William
Ritchie) of London and cast at a
bronze foundry in Surrey, Eng, was
given by an unknown friend of Mr..
Bayard to the Memorial Association,
which pledged itself to attend to its
proper setting up. The Park Commits
granted the site. The total cost OF
the settings and surroundings will be
about $1,000, which is being met by sub.
scriptions.
Those who have seen it declare it is
remarkably life-like representation OF
Mr.. Bayard.

Sit Up And Take Notice

There is something doing in state
politics which should make the indie
pendent voter sit up and take notice.
The investigation carried on during the
two months recess by the Assembly
committee shows greater extravaganza
in State expenditures than previous to
twelve years ago when the Democrats
had charge. The sinecure offices and
rank partisan management exceeds any
thing under Democratic rule, while
Governor Stokes asking for the reslg-
nation of Secretary of State S. ID.
Dickinson because of his living with
another man S wife has not been equaled
since the Laverty escapade in the State
Prison, which the Republicans made SO
much ado about. The threatened i'm
parchment of Banking Commissioner
D. o. Watkins for not putting state
money in banks where it would draw
interest furnishes food for thought how
the States moneys are handled for
partisan purposes. There is enough to
warrant a political revolution in the
State next fall equal to that of twelve
years ago. Will the independent
voter sit up and take notice how they
have been buncoed the past few years
on the plea for reform and great ecom-
omy made twelve years ago?

A Good Veto.

Governor. Stokes has vetoed Senator
Hands liquor bill which would restore
the granting of licenses in fourth-class
countries to the Borough Councils. Its
design was to let down the bars-or
erect more-for more saloons at small
seashore resorts. The Governor very
wisely in his veto says;
"The granting of licenses effects pri-
vate interests, and is thus clearly dis
tinguishable from the performance of
other public duties imposed upon City
Councils. The duty of City Councils
is to provide the best possible govern
ment and advise policies that will de-
velope and benefit municipality they
govern. The performance of such du-
ties requires men of the highest type
and disinterested motives. They should
be solely selected with that end in view
Where, however, they are compelled to
grant licenses, the selection of members
Of City Councils is too often reduced to
a question of whether they will not IA
yor this OF that individual in the grant
ing of licenses. Such an issue in mu-
nicipal affairs is apt to deter the best
class of citizens from serving in
Council"

The Shirt Waist Suit

'"There were rumors afloat early in the
season that the shirt-waist suit would not
be in its usual high favor with this year
summer GIRL" writes Grace Margaret
Gould in Woman's Home Companion for
July. Every one was proclaiming the
univeral vogue of the jumper dress.
Now, however, the tide is turning, and
the shirt-waist suit is again asserting itself.
And there is no doubt that it is smarterthan
ever.
"Of course, the shirt waist suit has had to
look to its lauelrs and perhaps that's why
the designs are so original and extremely
attractive. All sorts of materials are used,
from the new voile in a worsted suiting
pattern to an inexpensive striped Bingham.
Brown linen is also in high favor for a shirt.
waist suit. Othe materials which are in
vogue are figured madras, pique, mercerized
rep, cotton poplin, pongee and striped and
checked silks"

Alcohol AS a Worker.
Advocste;

Topeka Advocste;
In Germany every farmer has his
own alcohol still, and the prevention OF
their illicit use seems to have been com
passed without difficulty.
Potatoes, which in that country, ow-
ing to the use of potash, which abounds,
as a fertilizer yield enormously. are the
principal source of alcoholic supply,
which also is 20 cheap that it has come
into very wide use.
1t furnishes most of the light and
runs all the motors.
When its use is fully developed, it
promises to revolutionize farm life.
There is no smoke or dirt for the
stove that burns alcohol, and no lamps
to clean, for its use keeps them clean.
Going from the house to the barn, we
find threshing and farming machines,
corr shelters and cutters, the pumps for
water supply, the milking machine, all
run by alcohol. So, too, of churns.
apple and hay presses and s~eparators,
taking most of the heavy drudgery off
the housewife, and enabling the farmer,
by using traction plows and other ma
chlnery, to get on almost without help,
and fortunate for him it is that it is
coming to be so, for it has grown to be
almost impossible to get enough farm
labor.
A farmer, if he finds it more con-
yenient, can generate electricity enough
from a central plant to run all his
machinery.

Interesting Old Prints

United States Engineer Flagler, who
is in charge of the Fourth Lighthouse
District, has received two interesting old
prints from Assistant Engineer Miller,
which Major Flagler has had framed and
proposes hanging in the cabin of the
lightship Zizania, which is connected
with his department.
Both are portraits of the lighthouse
at Cohansey, n. j., n taken just before
and the other just after a great storm,
which occurred on October 23d, 1873.
The former picture shows the lighthouse
high and dry on a point of land, on
which it was erected, and the latter
show it in the midst of a roaring sea
with no land to be seen anywhere. The
pictures bear the imprint of w. H. Reae
of Philadelphia.

J. D.. Carpenter, editor of the Wood
bury Democrat, who is a member of

says:
"Under u school laws the duties of
the County Superintendent have of late
years become largely ministerial, as, in
deed are those of Boards of Education.
A higher authority directs, and it is
but for those below to obey. The wis
dom, or unwisdom of these conditions
are not proper for us to discuss, but
the natural feeling of independence
that characterizes members of Boards
OF Education, did not always harmonic
with these new conditions. 1t is no
easy task to rid rural communities of

The sensational happenings last

The sensational happenings last
week of crimes too revolving for publ.
cation created great interest in the
a meeting on Thursday evening of
last week which resulted in the orgnni-
cation of a Law and Order League
which has been greatly needed in
PENIS Grove for years as an organized
moral force to give power to laws
which all good citizens believe should
be observed. 1t is frequently said that
no man can be made better by law.
Whie most men are good from custom
and habits which have grown out of
generations of observing moral and
statute laws, the fear of punishment is
still needed to teach some to be good
law abiding citizens from a moral stand
point. Other towns have been benefit
ed by Law and Order Leagues and
their secret moral force should be a
great benefit to PENIS Grove to keep
the thoughtless pleasure seeker, the bib
ulous slave to appetite, and the liber-
tine within the bounds of public de-
cency.

dupont Imports

1t has been announced that hereafter
the imports for the dupont Powder Co..
will be received thru the Custom House
in Wilmington, so far as possible. The
first shipment received there was "a, 1925
pounds of ~glycerine, on which there is a
duty of II cent a pound. 1t was in Is
drums, each containing 1885 pounds.
The glycerine came from Germany to
New York and was r~eshipped in bond by
steamship to Wilmington.
While glycerine is an ingredient of
some of the explosives manufactured by
the powder company, it harmless of itself.
No explosives or anything that is in any
way dangerous is included in the ship
ment referred to above, as being carried
on the boat of the transportation COM
pany. When the dupont Co. desires to
transport explosives it charters a boat,
carries nothing else.
