SENATOR RICHARDSON.

IT HE Hon. Harry A. Richardson has entered
4 upon his duties as a United States senator
from Delaware, and his many friends in this
State, without regard to party, will wish him
abundant success in his career. He occupies an
exalted position as a member of the highest leg
islative body Of the nation, and his selection to
fill this place came not through undue effort Of
his own, but he was the free choice of a majority
of the members Of the Legislature
Mr. Richardson needs no introduction to the
people of this State. Once he was the candidate
of the Republican party for governor of Della
ware, when he was defeated by only slight ma
jority. Mr.. Richardson was born and bred
among us Like his father, the son has a record
of sterling honesty and integrity. W
Mr. Richardson is broad-minded man. He
will represent the whole State of Delaware as
well as his own party and no one need fear that
Senator Richardson will not fulfil his duties
faithfully and with signal appreciation of the
trust that has been reposed in him by the people
of the State who have thus highly honored him.

MRS. BRApLEY,s Acou1rrAL.

IN THE acquittal of Mrs Bradley, at Wash
4 intgon, for killing former Senator Brown, Of
Utah, the jury again upheld the belief in the so
called unwritten law that has become prevalent
throughout the country. From the beginning of
the trial it was evident that the prosecuting Off
GERS had little hope of securing a conviction of
the woman. The testimony disclosed a remark
able story of life between the two with the fatal
end that so frequently follows such liaisons.
The verdict of the jury simply uphods the
doctrine Of private vengeance as a substitute for
the orderly processes of the law Persons with
real or fancy grievances of such a nature as illus
trated in this trial and in others OF similar ma
ture throughout the country, can take the punish
ment into their own hands with little fear that
they will be held responsible by their fellows.
And this is question over which the lawmakers
may well ponder.

REVIvING INDUSTRY.

telling OF revival Of industry throughout
the eastern part Of the country from Kansas
City on to the Atlantic coast Many factories are
resuming operations wholesale houses have
stopped cancelling their orders, banks which
were crippled are reopening, and the railroads
are beginning TO put their men back to work
The impetus was given by the orders of E. II.

has directed that oooo of them shall resume their
labors The business men, says the Globe are
convinced that the threatened hard times will
not materalize and they are preparing to resume

XMAS BUYING
ON In EARNEST
Stores Now Displaying Their
Holiday Offerings TO
the Public

While Christmas is three weeks off
the shopping season IN Wilmington has
begun and the streets are taking on a
holiday aspect From now until the
evening of December "a the store dis
trict along and near Market street will
be crowded with shoppers.
While the display windows are now
being dressed up TO attract the atten-
ton of those on a hunt for things APP
propriate for the great festival and
day, the proprietors Of
the stores have their stocks ready
From inklings heard here and there
the big display windows Of the FASH
ionable shops will be fitted with decor
ations surprising anything Of the kind
in years preceding.
Change in Methods.
Christmas shopping is undergoing a
gradual but certain change in the ma
ture of evolution. ALI the owners and
managers Of large establishments re-
cognize that and do not hesitate to
express their views upon the subject
Then years ago the aimless shoppers
I'm the holiday season wandered about
from store TO store and from depart
mont TO department in a vague desire
to purchase suitable presents for
friends, and they usually bought what
ever caught their passing fancy, Pres
ent ideas are different The woman
shopper of today, it is pointed out,
has made up her mind what she wants
to buy before she leaves her home. Her
shopping resolves itself into the ques-
tion OF where she may obtain what
she wants for friends in the best quail
ity and at the cheapest price.
Aimless Shopper Going.
The aimless shopper is still in evil
dence, but the numbers decrease each
year. All of the stores will have much
to allure and attract, and hundreds of
thousands Of presents will doubtless be
purchased during the present season
that were not at first contemplated. But

in the main the shopper generally
follows out the plan that she origi-
nally mapped out and buys what she
starts out for While the gifts to be
purchased for Christmas viii be OF
variety in the thousands. the really SER
viceable gift is the thing nowadays. 1t
has always been a hobby with a cer-
tain class Of buyers, but more and
more the shopping public Is coming to
buy as Christmas gifts articles that
will be of use and that are at the same
time appropriate to the desires and
tastes and needs of the recipients.
The managers and heads of the stores
wish TO impress upon the shoppers the
importance of making their purchases
early il they wish to consider the
statesmen and saleswomen. who have
heretofore been almost rushed off
their feet during the last lew days
of the season.
These employees are compelled to
stand all day long waiting upon GUS
toners, and it is desired that the early
shopping, which began last year be
continued this season and thus relieve
the strain on the employees.

BY THE MAYSIDE

II was at French street station, and
the northbound Delaware railroad ac-
commodation train had Just arrived
from down the State. Gunners galore
were alighting, with strings Of rabbits
and birds bulging from game bags and
with brightly Furnished guns. There
were fine beagles and settlers. and
shotguns of the hammerless type that
evidently cost many dollars to buy.
After more than 2 dozen Of these
sportsmen with thoroughbred dogs and
lhigh-priced equipment had trudged
along with their rabbits and quail, an
old negro got out Of the smoker. He
was the last to alight. And it was all
he could do to get out of the car.
Ahead Of him ran two disreputable
looking black and yellow dogs of the
mongrel type, but with just a little Of
the beagle species showing. Tucked
under one arm he had an old-fash-
lioned single-barrel shot gun of the
muzzle-loading type. His dogs and
his gun were nothing to behold along-
side Of those of the white sportsmen,
but the old colored man. Of the war
time darlSy type, had everybody beaten
for game. He fairly staggered under
his load Of rabbits, already skinned
and dressed, and his string Of quail.
He had gotten forty-six rabbits, he
said, and he had not counted the quail
he brought down. And it all goes to
show that thoroughbred dogs and
down-to-date guns do not always
mean plenty Of game.
Norman p. Crouch, when not per-
forming his clerical duties in the office

Gerry is either at home or along some
stream fishing, with the chances in
favor Of the latter place. Having a
day Off recently, the genial young dis
'ciple Of 'Iky Walton" went down to
Silver Lake, at Middletown, his favor
fishing place, TO try his luck. and after
looking at the end Of his line for six
hours without seeing so much as "a
quiver, he pulled it in and started for
his home here for the first time in his
life without a fine string Of fish. OF
course he was disappointed When
the Delaware road train, on which he
was riding, stopped at the canal
bridge, two acquaintance Of Mr..
Crouch got aboard with fully one hum
dred pounds of fish over their shoul-
ders.
Mr.. Crouchs eyes nearly bulged
from their sockets with surprise. He
also was jealous of their catch, but his
friends made him happy by presenting
to him a string of fish which he af-
terward declared he had caught In the
