HOW A TRAGEDY
WAS AVERTED

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.--The police in
Newark are trying 10 determine how
three pound explosive shell, similar
TO the kind used IN a turret navy gun,
and loaded with a high explosive. came
to be in a scuttlc of coal in The home
Of Henry NJ. Spohn of AZ Id South
Sixteenth street, that city. Mr.. Spohn
discovered the missile as he was about
to empty tho contents of the scuttle
into a lighted stove. He put the shell
I'm a pail OF water and then took il to
Capt. Vogel at the Fourth precinct
police station.
The shell was in load Of fuel which
was delivered at the Spohn house last
Thursday by a local dealer IT is not
known how 1t came to be there and
the authorities are trying to find out
whether it was put there by some one
fwho wanted to blow up the house. Mr..
Spohn said that he does not know any
one who would try to injure him. Ac-
cording 20 the authorities the shell
would have wrecked the house If il
had contained its regulation load and
had BEEN put in tho lighted stove.
That was a nice sort Of Christmas
gift TO send to Mr.. Spohn, wasn't IT,
But speaking OF Christmas gifts, and
as there only a few days left in
which to do the Christmas shopping
wouldn't II be wise TO look over the

and silverware at the establishment o.

Uncle sam as Santa Claus.

Something like $50. 100000 in cash il be-
lieved to have gone in Christmas presents
from immigrants in the United states to
relatives in Europe The New York POST
office alone has sent more than S750O,O0O in

that foreign speaking bankers deliberate

their savings abroad because there is such
big profit in the forwarding business.
This agent, Iajos Steinert, estimates that
more than sSO0OO00oO a year is taken or

estimate; and he says the people ought to

HISTORICAL SOCIETY AGLow.

TT is gratifying to note the suddenly aroused
i interest in the Delaware Historical So
cety and too much credit cannot be given to
former Judge Ignahus c. Grubb the new presi-
dent Of the organization, who has moved with
eagly swiftness in securing host of mem
bcrs Persons who are inclined TO think that
service as a member of the judiciary tends %
make a man act under easy sail will have to re-
wise their opinions
For some time there has been lament that in
terest was lacking in the work of the Historical
Society. Then came the consensus Of opinion
that Judge Grubb was just the man to bring about
a revivihcation, to put new life into the organ
ization The Judge and those who have assisted
him have worked wonders
OF course, it needs no argument TO convince
persons that the Historical Society is a very hon
ored, useful and necessary institution in Della
ware Some organization must keep alive the
history of the State, must preserve records, must
see that the history of Delaware is not forgot
ten for we have history of which we should
all feel proud It is pleasing therefore, to know
that the Historical Society has been placed on a
firm basis and that many of our leading citizens
have lent their personal and financial support
to its work

sHArTERINa on DIR. COOK.

\ N view of the decision of the committee Of
- the Danish University authorities we do
not presume that there will be any further diff
ference of opinion about the exploits of DR..
Frederick A. Cook and his claims to be the
discoverer of the North Pole. DIR. Cooks case
was presented before jury that for many rea-
sons would be inclined to favor him. to give him
the benefit Of any doubt that might exist but
the prompt manner in which the scientists re-
jected the data and records of the explorer shows
that there was no room for the slightest doubt.
1t may be possible that DIR. Cook did reach
the Pole, but if so, he has no means of PROV
ing his contention The most charitable view
that has been advanced is that DR. Cook was
laboring under delusion that he had discovered
the pole. and the fact that he has disappeared
from public view in highly nervous condition
seems to lend pausibility to the theory of a
delusion
1t is, however, very unfortunate for him that
he announced his discovery in the manner that
he did, that he accepted honors that he ectured
and permitted himself to be feted and dined
when he had no proof such as he needed to make
good his claims of discovery 1t is almost in
conceivable that man in his right mind should
have acted as he did unless he was fakir pure
and simple.
The Judgment in favor of Cook which was rem
dered by majority of the people of this coun-
try, was based upon the preliminary judgment
of the Danes, and the humiliation of the Danes
in finding that they have been deceived is natur-
ally OF the most intense degree.
The Cook incident is one of the most un-
pleasant in the history of this country. and it
will be a gloomy Christmas for the explorer #
he is in condition to realize the position in which
he has been placed

DISAPPOINTED BY DEMOCRATS.

c ONE of the Democratic papers and sup
~ porters Of the party in the city and State
are showing signs of displeasure over the way
in which the party is doing things, During the
campaign rosy promises were freely made he
Democrats had been out OF power so long that
many people were inclined to bend an to the
Democratic pleadings The Republicans were
on the defensive all during the campaign and
their State ticket was burdened with candidates
who fell much below the party strength All
this made the Democrats successful in spots,
and the Democratic State victory was followed
by a Democratic victory in this city due to
various causes.
Therefore, great things were expected of the
Democrats especially in the city. The first
thing that came was an increase i'll salaries OF
some city employees The Democrats were do
ing the very thing for which they had condemn
ed the Republicans. Then came the mysterious
discovery that half a dozen negroes in the Sec
ond ward had been converted to Democracy and
had voted the Democratic ticket, and the claim
that these votes had not been counted. Then fol-
lowed the contest before Council which gave the
impression that the Democrats were trying to
grab more offices. If they had proceeded di-
rectly to punish, if possible, those whom they
had accused of fraud, they would not have been
open to this criticism. Now 1t seems that in
awarding contracts the Democratic Councilmen
have violated the law, and the presumption IS
that they would violate the law in larger mat
ters if the occasion offered. Not only these mat
ters together with friction in the partys admin
istration of affairs that has developed have been
noticed. but the Democratic leaders of the city
have not seized The opportunity for live and
progressive administration. The report of the
committee that attended the convention of the
League Of municipalities showed that there was
little of the spirit of progress about the present
Democratic control of the city.
The same may be said of the administration n
Kent county.
Those who expected progressive and econo-
mical administration with the Democrats in pow
er are to be bitterly disappointed.

Christmas Giving.

Middletown Transcript.
Christmas giving has been very much
over-done, IN recent years, due to a mis-
apprehension OF the true spirit underiy-
ing a beautiful and appropriate season
ablo custom. il has degenerated. largely,
into giving for the looks of tho thing."
into an effort TO keep up with others, OF
outdo them; and often the circle Of
friends. or relatives. to which one makes
gifts, is much too large both FOR the
pocket-boolS. and for the extent Of the
true spirit OF love back Of the gift.
Generally. gift giving should be confined
to family circles and to very close friend
ships, except in cases IN which giving rep
resents real relief or suffering help to
the needy-and in recognition OF valuable
services rendered. Giving for mere show
or for the purpose OF securing a return
gift, is always unworthy Of the act
There is something about Christmas Civ
ing-the thinking about others, and what
they will lilSe-that warns the heart and
makes one feel cheerful and happy and
busy. That is, If the giving IS done in tho
right way; not by bestowing useless trifles
that soon degenerate into clutter" just
for the sake OF giving something, nor gifts
so expensive that you begrudge them. be-
cause handsome ones have been or may be
given to you
Give something you believe is needed or
desired by tho recipient. If too much for
your single purse, the spirit of the day is
combination" How, for instance. would
the mother appreciate an easy chair, or a
new cloak or dress, given by all OF her
children? or one family might unite in
giving to another a good picture or a sub
scriplon to a magazine. Pretty china and
porcelain dishes are always acceptable,
and will bring many a pleasant thought
OF tho donor if marked For daily use"
/ But tho main thing is for each TO be
bent on making every other member OF
the family happy and comfortable, even
down to the old horse and dog and cat
and the birds that winter with you; and
it will thus be sure TO be happy time

panies, the Steel Trust the Standard Oil Com

According to one writer this gigantic combi-
nation can fix the rate of interest, call millions
of loans over night, manipulate bank reserves at
will, contract or expand credits, dictate the
terms of every large financial undertaking. en-
barrass governmental finances, cause panic at

or of their desirability an investment, but the
company did not want them. Not only did the
Equitable refuse TO take the bonds, but no other
Eastern institution has offered to buy them
This shows the clos alliance of the money trust
Perhaps the fear of offending Mr.. Morgan will
prevent the sale of the bonds in New York City.

GIVE YOURSELF A
MENTAL XMAS GIFT
You'll be as Happy as if You
Had Real One, Says the
Rev. Anna Davis

BOSTON, Dec 22-Probably your
very small daughter wrote to-day:
my Dear Santa Claus:
''Please. please bring me a dolly with
curly hair and eyes that go to sleep.
/ would love her to say mamma and
papa Your little friend,
"GRACIE."
Instead Of buying the dolly and be-
ing yourself happier even than the
child, all you need do is to tell her to
make herself a mental gift Of the doll.
Tell her, while her tender heart yearns
for the toy, to imagine she has 1t and
she viii be just. as happy as If she
clasped it in her'arms.
This seems to be the teaching of the
Church of Applied Thought here.
Strictly mental and spiritual Christ
mas gifts, not concrete objects, will be
provided at the Christmas tree exer-
cises Of this sect at it's quarters in
Huntington Chambers. The Christmas
tree will be there i'm all it's glory, but
nothing more material than airy
thoughts will be distributed. The Rev.
Anna B. Davis, pastor Of the Church of
Applied Thought, thinks she will con-
duct the eXercises--so she will, of
course Mrs. Davis said to-day:
I'VE make ourselves miserable by
hunting after gifts these days. while
the custom is not 20 be condemned,
our Christmas tree this year will re-
fleet our teaching. We want people
to be happy. We want them TO look
at this beautiful tree and then think,
not OF what they have not, but Of what
they have"
SO let the young woman who is "dy-
ing FOR" an automobile think OF the
rickety phaeton she drives. She will be
happy and save her fathers cash. too
