 Sights c, London.
 The 4 Ancrican in London, on his frs. visit to that marvellous city. is Struck by the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesman k q purveyor to their majcsties. Yet. when tte matter is siftcd. the number i>; n"t So large.
 Officially. according to the London News there are about 200 trades men in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled to use the royal arms as q shop sign. with the accompanying words.

Moreover. he is liable to simi- lar fine if he uses arms so nearly re- senb!ing the royal arms as to lead people to believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalty. Several instances have occur red of the enforcement of these penal ties
 The warrants are exhibited in the shop windows. headed by the royal arms and bearing the signature of the lord chamberlain. the comptroller of the royal household, the treasurer of the latter, or of the master of the horse. etc, according to the circum- stances

W1lIIAn ). HILLEs ron oHanoEIIoa


II Is stated here that Governor PEN
newilI has offered the Office Of Chancellor
to William 8. Hilles, Of Wilmington.
The appointment win be made in connec.
ton with the naming Of an entirely new
judiciary OF Delaware by the Governor
next June forterma Of twelve years. Mr..
HilIes, who is council Tor General 7. Cole
man dupont, the Republican State chair-
man, asked the Governor for time in
which to consider the proffer. The Exec
utive, il Is said. is'waiting to hear from
him before taking any further steps 10 the
selection Of new bench.
Il has been known for some time that
Mr.. Hilles, who is one Of the leading
lawyers Of the Delaware bar, cnnld be the
successor OF Chancellor John r. Nichol-
son, (Dem il he wonid accept the place.
but the announcement OF the formal offer
by the Governor has just been learned.
Mr.. Hilles Is an active Republican. For
a number Of years he has acted as chair
man at the Republican State conventions
filling this post at the convention last
Nav, which elected six delegates and as
many aIternates to the Chicago co n
vention. He is a son-in.law of the late
Ambassador, Thomas F. Bayard, having
married the latter's daughter, Florence.
His law Office is in Wilmington, but he
resides on handsome country place, fac
ing the Delaware river, below New Castle.
Considering the Offer
Mr.. Hilles' reasons for asking for time
in which to consider the Chancellorship
is the financial loss that would follow.
The office pays $4,000 per year, but his
law practice greatly exceeds that sum, it
being one OF the largest in Delaware.
This testifes to his legal ability. 1t is
probable that decision will be given by
him in a short time. Many prominent
friends of Mr.. HiIles are urging him to
accept.
With the selection of a Chancellor,
who heads the Delaware judiciary, Gov.
ernor Pennewill be enabled to consider
the other members of the bench-Chief
Justice, Judge-at-largs, and Associate
Judges for each OF the three counties.
The Office of Chief Justice, like that SSof
Chancellor, pays S4,5OO per year. The
pay Of the other judges is $4,000 per
aDnum.

LUUklNu BASAWAKU Al LIFE

The perspective of life shows
some very strange transfor-
nations in values. 1t reveals
that the only great things in life
are trifes, that what panied US
most, saddened our hearts and
made pillows wet with tears,
were only trifes cumulating into
overwhelming Importance. A
cruel word, an unkindness, a lit
tie misunderstanding may dark
en- a day and separate US from
one we love or may pertrify US
into mood of doubt ana despair.
The most joyous moments of life,
the highlights in the pictures of
memory, may too be only trifes
of kindness, fine expressions of
love, simple tributes of conf
dence and trust that makes the
very heart smile as we remem-
Der.
Nature is constantly giving US
these turns in the road to see
living in true perspective. A
supreme sorrow, an agonizing
sense Of loss, the high-tide of
failure that carries our dearest
hopes out the sea, a long period of
illness and suffering, storm of
disaster when the ship of our
work of years sinks in a moment
in a dark night of despair, the
death of one who is dearest
and nearest may prove-a turn
in the road. Then may come
bne of those moments of life,
Of fine spiritual discernment, OF
luminous revelation, of coming
to ones highest self, when the
sordid, the mean, the temporary,
the selfish, are stripped in an in
slant of their garish shams and
tinsel. Then the real, the true,
the eternal, stand out in their
majesty bathed in the splendor
and glow of the revealing OF
truth. In sach a spirit the very
tingle of the inspiration Of the
infinite fills rs, we seem born
again to new, better, and greater
things, for we have seen the Wis.
ion-at the turn of the road. -

COLLEGE pIJFFIANISM

Thursdays papers tell US Of Q
threatened recurrence at Della
ware College Of the class ruftian-
ism, which many years ago re-
suited in a deplorable tragedy
there, and worked infinite harm
for many years to that instltu'
tion. Fhis cultiVated brutality
upon the part of these young
gentlemen, who are spending the
hard earned money of their par
ents, and who, by reason OF the
advantages they enjoy, should
be expected to exhibit superior
rather than inferior manners, IS
totally without excuse.
We trust the College authori.
ties will ruthlessly nip in the bud
the whole silly business of haz-
ing. assaulting and kidnapping
lower classmen, breaking up ban
quets, etc.
The attempt to import into this
state the eruffianly practices which
have repeatedly disgraced the
U. Of P, should be suppressed
instantly and at any cost, even
If need be of a wholesale dismissal
Of the entire offending class.
About year ago Kugler's Res
taurant on Chestnut street, Phila-
delphia, was attacked and sacked
by a mob Of sophomores from the
u. of P, and the parents OF the
silly youth had bill of 1000 to
pay for the "fun.
The account states that the
officers of the freshman class at
Delaware College are being hid
den to prevent their forclole selz-
ure by the sophomores, and that
a raid is expected upon the lower
classmen's supperin Wilmington.
We repeat the hope that the
President and faculty of Della
ware College, under whose able
management for a number of
years past that institution has
achieved such notable snccess,
will remorselessly stamp out
every vestiage of this wish upon
the part Of those who should
show themselves educated gen
tlemen, to play the degrading
role of naked savages.

propriating $25, 900 to the trustees Of the

TO Remodel State House
Senator Conner has abandoned his idea
of having new State House built at this
time, and, while he gave notice, early in
the present session of tine Legislature, OF a
bill providing for new building, at q
cost of about $3.50, 900, to be paid for out
Of bond issue, he has substituted pro-
ject, in keeping with the suggestion OF
