INTERPRETING LAWS.

HE Rev. George F. Mason, who is man of
Il good sense as well as a good preacher,
seems to have caused stir by stating common
place at the convention of "reformers" who are
talking in Grace Church. Some of the speakers
have advanced strange notions that it is the duty
of a civil Judge TO interpret the laws according
TO Divine law where there appears to be a conflict
between Divine and civil laws. MIR. Mason
brought the convention back to reason when he
declared that Judge must interpret the law as
il is made by
Suppose we had judges doing things as one of
the Philadelphia ministers thinks he should do
them would we not have a confusing court? In
the first place there would be dispute as TO what
is the Divine law We might have one solemn
looking Judge expounding the law according to
the Baptist Interpretation of Divine law another
according to the Methodist conception of Divine
law, and so on.
Still we may pardon the Rev Dr. McFeeters
for favoring the Divine law idea He is from
Philadelphia, where some of the judges appar-
emily interpret the laws according to the ideas of
the gang or of the devil.

SALE OF CITY BONDS.

a MOTHER issue Of city bonds is being sold
n to the public direct. The large inanciers
did not bid a figure high enough to warrant the
city officials in selling them the bonds, and the
public will buy them in smaller lots. The pub
lie apparently has more confidence in the bonds
than the fnanciers have.
The idea of selling the bonds directly to the
people is a splendid one. 1t gives the general
public an opportunity for safe investment 1t in
terests the purchasers in the affairs of the city
The holders of the bonds feel an intimate concern
in the city. Many good purposes, in fact, are
served by the plan of asking the people to buy
the bonds.
The sale to the people illustrates to us a point
that is particularly pertinent at this time. The
public, by buying the bonds, show that they have
not lost faith in the city; neither have they con-
cluded that things financial are as bad as some
would imagine.
Where there is seeming loss of confidence by
the controllers of large sums of money, the
smaller mans confidence is unshaken And he
takes the reasonable view of it. He breathes op-
timsm, while our captains of finance are tinged
with pessimism
In purchasing the bonds our people show
good patriotic spirit While they benefit the city
by buying the bonds, they also benefit them
selves.

General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

The Maryland Democratic Convention failed to
instruct its delegates to the Denver convention,
but it is said that four of them will be for Bryan
The name of Bryan was not mentioned in the
resolutions, but strike was made at the Nebras-
kan in the platform, which declared against the
government ownership Of railroads. It is said
that none of the State leaders were anxious to 90
to the Denver convention, and we are not sur
prised at that, because the atmosphere at Denver
promises to be particularly chilling to men who
represent the brand of Democracy which the
Maryland machine stands for.

sycophantic alteration has affected the general
influence of lawyers as /el as that of other pro-
tessional men. Few lawyers are really rich in

Where lawyers were once regarded as the chief
leaders Of public opinion, to-day many of them
are but the employed mouthpieces of magnates
OF capital, Just as some newspapers that formerly
were in the service of the public are now used
merely the echo of a clique of wealthy men

The marriage of John P. Kelleher,
Of 1886 North Palethorp street. and
Miss Bessie Kennedy. of 14O West
Dauphin street. both of Philadelphia,
in Wilmington. on Tuesday, came as
a great surprise to their many friends.
When the young people left the Ken
nedy home Tuesday afternoon the
brides mother supposed TO be for an
outing. but instead the pair took a
train for Wilmington and were mar
ried by Mayor Wilson.
While the young people had been en-
gagged for some time, the principal OBJ
lection TO their carly marriage lay in
their youth, the bride being scarcely
more than II. and the bridegroom, who
is still an apprentice, IS less than 21.
A reception was given last night at
the home of the brides mother, where
the young couple will live for the
present.

BY THE WAYSIDE

There is a sigh of happiness among the
eutomobilists OF Wilmington It Is all
because General T. Coleman dupont has
become a convert. General DUPONT has
heen looked upon as one of the greatest
devotees OF horse racing for pure sport
In Delaware. and there has been abund-
ant reason why he should thus be desig-
mated. He loves horses and never has hesi-
tated to say so. In this respect he is like
many other members of the Horse Show
Association whose entries furnish sport
a. Horse Show Park every clear Sarur-
day. But somehow there has been an at
mesphere about General dupont that has
savored Of undying fealty to the horse
and that has tabooed the chugging auto
mobile. mo auto for me as long as they
make herses," General DUPONT was quot
cd as saying after he took his first auto
mobile ride. But that has been a few
years ago. Since then many things have
happened. Not that they don't grow as
coed and as Speedy horses nowadays, but
you know the Delaware Automobile Assoc
Gallon has gotten to giving roadability
runs and the like in which there is a
big element of clean sport. So General du
l'ont has been won over. He has become
an automobilist. Not that he has given
up his horses. Horrors. no. But It is a
safe bet that when the next roadabinty
run OF the Delaware Auto Association
rolls around General dupont will be in
1t L he is any where near Wilmington at
the time, and that he will drive his own
car. He goes into sport for sports sake
While not gergrally SnOwn hereabouts he
Is an ail-around athlete and has gained
iaine as a polo player. Anyway, Il is well
assured that the matinee races or autono-
mnns VIII not be loser by General du-
Fonts conversion to the motor car.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, July 1.-The stock market sunk another degree into dullness today with somewhat oninous effect on .Pecuia- I've list was much neglected and showed evidence of selling to take prcfits. which suggested an effective obstacle to further siderable recession the supply of stocks dropping to nominal proportions and the light demand This is the feature of the market that has been most remarked dur ing the whole of the week and constitutes alive the conviction that Influential holders Of securities maintain confidence in the betterment of the values,
 Meantime there were brought forward into prominence today e number of new features of strength which served as a sus- taining influence on the whole list although not as influential to that end as some of the. more prominent stocks which were strong earlier in the week One cause of the contraction in the activity of the specu- lation was the success of the plan for comprehensive advance in freight rates by the reports of the differences If opfn- railroad systems at the conference in thls city to consider the subject It Is evident that the success of any attempted advance must depned upon it's adoption by all Of the of the weeks currency movement gives de- cisive evidence of the turning tide of the movement with the interior.
 There has been a heavy increase in the shipments to the interior by banks this week while receipts have been correspond ingly cut down. There seems to have been a net gain on balance in favor of this center still but not so long that 1t will be counterbaianced probably by the sub-treas- urys absorption from the banks leaving the cash item Title changed from last week. The falling off in current redemption of bank notes at the sub-treasury Is another index of the decline in receipts from the inte- rior.
 New York exchange at Chicago declined to ten cents premium today compared with soc premium per thousand a few weeks ago.
 Crop news was good. the official weather map showing a plentiful rainfall in the Northwestern country where the greatest anxiety has existed for lack of moisture.
 Note was taken of an advance in prices of print cloths by a leading Western mer- cantile interest as a symptom of reviving demand. Not much attention was paid, however to these developments bearing on the general situation. The violent rise iu the New York gas stocks was unexplained.
 The strength of the railway equipment stocks was based on reports of new orders from the railroads and also a growth in repair work for these companies.
 Bonds were firm. some of the convertible issues advancing smartly in sympathy with their stocks. Total sales par value $4,s48,- eco, United States bonds were unchanged on call.
