EneroaehIna on Yosemite P.rk.


That what has been gained must be
,vigilantly and vigorously defended il
evident from the scheme to draw the
future water supply of San Francisco
from the region of the Sierra, says the
Century Magazine This was lnevita-
bic. and against the general idea there
can be no argument. The objection
ableness OF the plan suggested Is that,
with a large choice Of streams for the
supply, the source selected has been
the wonderful Tuolumne river. both
the upper reaches near the beautiful
Meadows and the lower stretches In
the Hetch-Hetchy valley. which In I'm.
pressiveness is second only to the
Yosemite itself. The fact that the
same waters farther down or other
waters to the north are available for
the purposes implies some disinSenu
GUS aspect of this wanton Inv aston ID
the great Yosemite National park. II
Is much to be hoped that the admins.
Gation will not consent to this need-
less diversion Of the park from its
proper objects, a project which, by the
way, is strongly opposed by no less
practical an authority on the Sierra
than California's great naturalist John
Muir. Once Let commercialism into the
park. and there Is no knowing what
ravages 1t will commit In the holy
name of franchise.

An observant traveller who reached
Hongkong, China. the oeher day from
the interior by way of the West river
tells OF a great change so far as the
use of opium Is concerned, says the
North China News. He points out
that the edict issued by the throne on
the subject has had marvellous effect
on the people, and especially those who
hava learned the seductive power OF
the drug, On the river steamers and
passenger boats. where hitherto there
has been free use of the pipe, there is
now a marked diminution. The steam
ers trading to Chiangmen have notices
eonspicuously posted prohibiting the
use Of the drug on board, and not only
are the notices posted, but they are OBJ
served. The traveller declares that on
voyage on passage boat to Chang.
men he did not see single opium
smoker. This speaks well for thu ac
tion Of the Chinese authorities.

EX-SENATOR RICHARD R. KHNNRY TO WEI
Miss NeIta Walker the Brlde-eIect Is a Sister
Of Senator Harry A. Richardson's Wife.

Former United States Senator Rich
ard f. Kenney has annuonced his
marriage to Miss Meta Walker. The
wedding took place quietly yesterday,
March 8, at the home of the bride, on
North State Street, Dover. Although
Mr.. Kenney is now a grandfather, he
is one of the youngest men in appear
ance in Dover, his black hair and
moustache having as yet no trace of
gray and his step being alert and
elastic. 1t is understood that he will
take his bride on an ocean voyage to
Cuba. Mr.. Kenney's daughter, who
is the wife of Lieutenant Tremaine,
of the United States Army, is now
with her husband and little boy on the
Island of Cuba, at the United States
military settlement. A coincidence
in this marriage is that the bride
elect is a sister of Mrs. Harry A.
Richardson, wife of the Republican
United States Senator.

GOOD ORDER PREVAILS IN KENT COUNT
Court Again AdiOurns Without Using The
Whipping Post For lis Criminals.

At the term of the Kent County
Court of General Sessions, which has
just ended at Dover, no person was
sentenced to be whipped and two Sat
urClays have therefore passed without
any public foggings. Two men were
indicted for wife-beating, but these
offenders appear to be getting out of
the Whipping-post sentence attached
by having their wives divorce them.
The dissolution of the criminal court
here has been most marked. Only
thirteen bills, including the weapon
carriers, were before the grand jury,
and there were only two jury trials.
