w. C. Black is as black as he is
named and even blacker If he is guilty

! He came to the Grand Hotel on
September 80 and took quarters there,
| representing himself to be travelling

large pipe house. He had sample
case of pipes and a couple of other
grips with him.
He was good boarder, never miss
ing meal while in the city and was
in and out several times, making side
trips to nearby places. Two or three
! days ago, he was bounced from the
! hotel because he had paid nothing and
could not be induced to pay anything.
He took his sample case with him but
left the other grips.
He secured a room from Mrs. Mary
E. Altes of No. 209 Johnson street and
occupied it for couple of days and
nights. Yesterday while Mrs. Altes
was going out for dinner, she saw him
in her room, but thought nothing of it.
When she was dressing in the
evening at about o'clock she discov-
cred that gold watch and a diamond
ring We're missing from Ter trunk
and also that Black was missing from
her boarding house. She believes
that Black opened her trunk and stole

A rubber stamp and articles de

COST or GRAVEL AM HAcADAn ROADS


G. G. Houston of Watseka, ILL.,, has
built many miles of gravel and macadam
roads in Indiana and he tells what they
cost in the current number of Municipal
Engineering Magazine. Orange county
roads IL feet wide with creek gravel II
inches deep in the centre and inches
deep at the outer edges, not rolled, cost
$l40O mile ten years ago and are in fine
condition now with but little repair. New
roads OF the same material, 9 feet wide
and 8 inches deep now cost $500 mile
with little cost for drainage and grading.
A road in jackson county macadamized
IL feet wide, with some earth filling and
two steel bridges cost $500 for a mile.
Hard limestone roads II feet wide and IL
and inches deep with little grading and
bridging. cost $4,000 a mile in Lawrence
county. Another road in the same county
with base of hard limestone and in
ches deep and top layer of gravel and
2 inches deep cost $24OO a mile. Mr..
Houston goes on to say that the Swope
law, since its passage in 1898, has been a
great blessing to the state Of Indiana in
general and to the southern part in par
ticular. and most of all to the billy country
lying south OF the west fork of White
river. the land of Abe Martin and his
neighbors. This law has enabled the
state to rise to the first in the union for
good roads.
The great state OF Illinois is far behind
Indiana in the matter of road building.
The excuse generally made is that ma
terial cannot be procured. That this
proposition is erroneous will be seen when
we find the farmers of Newton county,
Indiana, shipping stone for road building
from Monence, Illinois. But the farmers
on the Illinois side of the line find this
material too costly.

LAWSON GUILTY

After trial lasting two and oue-half
days, jury in General Sessions Court
Wednesday afternoon convicted George
Herman Lawson on charge of prsctic-
ing medicine in this State without a
license. J. Frank Ball, counsel for Law.
son, Immediately filed a motion for new
trial, pending which, sentence will be
withheld. The jury reached its verdict
after one hours deliberation. The case
went to the jury at II l2 o'clock, We'd
nesday afternoon. The entire morning
session of court was devoted to argument
before the jury, both sides having closed
yesterday afternoon.
Each side was allowed one hour for
argument, and the time was employed to
the best advantage by both Deputy Attor-
ney-General Hastings, who conducted a
most vigorous prosecution OF Lawson, as
well as by j. Frank Ball, who ably de-
Tended the accused professor. Mr..
Hastings arraignment of the Professor"
was severe. He declared that the State
had established its case against Lawson,
and asked for a verdict of guilty. Mr..
Ball, on the other hand, argued that the
State had not shown that Lawson had
practiced medicine within the meaning
of the statute. He pleaded for verdict
of not guilty.

THE CIGARETTE SMOKER.

Elbert Hubbard isn't the best
authority in the world on all sub
jects, but he is unquestionably
correct in pronouncing against
the use of cigarettes, especially
by the young. In late number
of the Philistine he says:
GAS a close observer and en-
ployer of labor for over twenty
five years, I give you this: Never
advance the pay of a cigarette
smoker never promote him !;
never trust him to carry roll to
Garcia, unless you do not care
for Garcia and are willing to lose
the roll. Cigarette smoking be-
gins with an effort to be smart.
1t soon becomes pleasure, a
satisfaction, and serves to bridge
over a moment of nervousness or
embarrassment. Next it be.
comes a necessity of life, a fixed
habit. This last stage soon
evolves into third condition, a
stage of fever and unrestful,
wandering mind, accompanied by
loss of moral and mental con-
troll"
Inevitably cigarette smoking
impairs health, lessons useful
ness and jeopardizes happiness,
and all without compensation
worthy of the1name. All smokers
are not affected to the same de-
gree, but there is none who
would not be better off without
the habit.

ADD1CK's TROLLEY TO BE SOLD.

Another step was taken Monday in the
movement OF Samuel (Nixon) Nirdlin-
gler, of Philadelphia, against the ole. Della
ware General Electric Railway Company,
the trolley concern which was to grid.
iron Delaware, but which was purchased
by ]. Edward Addicks and never mater.
ialized. Mondays development was a
publication by Stephen Slaughter, the
receiver appointed by Chancellor Nichol-
son in the suit in chancery instituted by
Mr.. Nirdlinger for a receivership, an
nouncing that the receiver would dispose
of all the Company's visible property at a
public sale on Thursday, April 9th, at
the public buildings at Dover. The list
as received and advertised by the Re-
ceirer includes "lot of steel, pig iron
rails, 80 tons or more" 1t is not known
what will be done with the mile or more
OF laid track extending from Dover to
Cooper's Corner. The Nirdlinger suit
against the State Treasurer and his prede-
cessors is still pending under temporary
rule which calls upon the State Treas
urer to show cause why he should not be
enjoined from expending for any state
purpose the two payments of Sl7,500 put
up by the Philadelphians as forfeit or
guarantee that the So miles of road would
be built.

THE WARWICK ROAD

Now that the season for road
building is at hand and the prop
osition to build the improved road
from MiddletoWn towards the
Maryland line at Warwick is be-
ing discussed, makes it expedient
that everyone who is interested
in this work should put forth
every effort to have it completed
for it's full length. AS THE
TRANSCRIPT pointed out several
weeks ago, there will be left of
the amount set aside in the bond
ing act for st. Georges Hundred,
a sum sufficient to construct but
little more than half the distance.
In order to complete the road as
it should be, it will be necessary
to provide about $4,000.
The State of Delaware contri.
butes to the improvement of the
roads in each of the counties
$4,000 annually, conditioned on
the County expending a like sum.
AS this County has always pro-
vided for this expense, there is
this sum of 500, 900 available for
construction work. But there are
many calls for this. Applications
are on file and being pressed
upon the Levy Court to build
roads, that if granted would re.
quire many times $4,000. But
we believe that if the effort be
made and strenuously pushed
that the Levy Court could be
made to understand the need of
this road. And if this under
standing can be had, there can
be no doubt they will help out
on this road.
We do not make an exception
whel we say that along or over
no other road in this County does
more business come to Delaware
from an adjoining state than
comes over the Warwick road,
and we likewise make no eAcep-
tions when we say there is no
worse road to-day in the County
than this same road. 1t is dis
grace to the State, County and
hundred, and it should be i'm
proved at once.
Let everyone interested in this
matter get busy. See and talk
to the Levy Court Commission
ers, if possible. If not write to
each and all of them and ask
them to complete this job this
year.
Do it now. Every days delay
endangers success.
