benefit of judge of great experience try their
THESE JUDGES INSPIRED SUCH CONFIDENCE IN THE PEOPLE
THAT COMPARATIVELY FEW APPEALS WERE TAKEN THE
HIGHER COURTS MAJORITY
FINALLY SETTLED COUNTY.
IT IS THEREFORE OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE THAT THE
JUSTICES SUPREME COURT SHALL CONTINUE
SIDE IN THE TRIAL CASES IN THE COUNTY,
The increase of the number of appeals the court Of last resort
has made for the justices of the sit for
much of the time in that that THEY HAVE BEEN UN
ABLE FOR THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS TO GO
DOWN TO THE COUNTIES AS FORMERLY, and that has
necessitated the appointment Of special circuit judges
The fact that the of last composed of sixteen judges
makes the consideration and disposition of that court very
slow and HAS RESULTED IN THE ACCUMULATION OF A
LARGE LIST OF CAUSES that court and they will under the
present system constantly increase "
Under the proposed amendment the six circuit Judges with

FAMOUS OCEAN LINER.
cunard Steamship Luoania, Damaged
by Fire, Once Queen of the Ocean.

Cunard Steamship Lucania, Damaged
by Fire, Once Queen of the Ocean.
The Lucania, one of the best known
ships Of the Cunard line, which was
recently submerged at the Huskisson
dock at Liverpool, England, to extin-
guish fire that seriously damaged
her, left New York on July on her
last trip and was to be thoroughly
overhauled before returning in Octo-
Der. The ship, now sixteen years old,
was launched from the yards of the
Fairfield company, limited, Glasgow,
in July, 1893. She is 601 feet in length,
s. feet in breadth and has depth of
hold of nearly 3S feet. Her gross ton
mage is 1852, and her first trips
made her the acknowledged queen of
the ocean" at that time.
With her trip of days, hours and
% minutes for the westward voyage
from Daunt's rock to Sandy Hook
lightship and her eastward voyage of
days, 8 hours and % minutes, made
in October, 1894, the Lucania was the
unbeaten steamship of the world until
the advent of the Deutschland, of the
Hamburg American line. The latter
steamship wrested the pennant of the
Atlantic from the Cunarder, and the
Germans kept it with the ships OF the
North German Lloyd until the last
Cunard turbine driven fiiers came into
service.
The Lucania is an imposing looking
vessel with two tunnels rising 120 feet
in the air. She is amply provided with
water tight compartments and cost
about $3,500,O00.
One of the features Of the Lucania
was her big dining saloon, fitted with
massive Spanish mahogany, with hand
carved panels, and the broad compan-
ionway leading from the promenade
deck was of the same costly wood
The saloon skylight, which is reported
to be destroyed, was fitted with hand
some stained glass panes, hand painted
by well known artists, which were
very much admired when the ship
came out. Her lounge, music room
and library, on the promenade deck,
| formed suit Of rooms that was not
surpassed in the Atlantic trade until
the Mauretania and Lusitania appear
| ed
In discussing the fire one Of the
| Cunard officials said that the Lucania
would now be reftted throughout with
| cabins built on a different plan and
much larger than the old ones. She
win also, 1t was said, be fitted with
another deck above the promenade
deck, and the dining saloon will be
moved up from the main deck to the
| promenade deck to comply with mod
ern ideas.
The Lucania had heretofore never
met with serious accident. In 1898
a piston rod broke, which delayed the
ship on her voyage to New York, but
other than many voyages made longer
by reason Of stress Of weather there
was no serious happening.

These amendments are of vital
Importance to the fundamental
law of the state, and it is sur
prising that the people do not
take more interest in them. The
amending of the constitution is
of vastly greater Importance
than the electing of some Off
cial.
At the top of each amendment
two words will be printed on
the ticket to be voted. These
words are:
FOR
AGAINST
II you vote for the amendment
just run your pencil through
the word against in this way
-Aa-A.xwgp- You will then
vote for the amendment.
There are five amendments
on the ticket, and you will
need to mark out the word
against in that way five
times where it occurs on the
ticket to vote for all the
amendments.
EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD
VOTE. In this case it is not
only a privilege, but a DUTY.
The election takes place at
a SPECIAL election held over
the entire state on

Afternoon Coffee.

The fashion for afternoon coffee instead
Of tea seems to be growing. The shops are
showing an increasing number OF pretty
and attractive coffee sets, which Is always
an unmistakable sign OF the times. This
afternoon cup OF coffee Is German and
a Dutch fashion and at least II is a pleas
ant change from tea. Il does not seem the
most healthful thing in the world, since
very many Americans already drink corree
AT every meal. and In abundance but at
least Il cannot spoil ones appetite FOR an
early dinner any more cfectually than
that sociabe but veNatious cup of tea has
done IN the last few years The chief OBJ
lection to this substitution Of coffee is that
the afternoon drink will usually be served
quito strong and quite black, whereas the
tea at such functions was In the majority
OF cases an innocuous beverage composed
OF one-third tea and two-thirds lemon and
hot water. However. anything for tho sake
OF variety and n we do not like afternoon
coffee we need not drink II.

Boots, Shoes and Slippers.

Among well-dressed women with
quiet tastes there is nothing more
popular for wear with afternoon cos
tune than the patent leather boots
with very high cloth tops.
There are black velvet shoes as wen
as black velvet slippers to wear with
the many modish black toilettes.
These black velvet slippers and black
satin ones. as well, are usually finish
ed with rhinestone or gold buckles, al
though the craze for jet has brought
out many Jet slipper buckles of late.
For women who cannot afford foot
wear TO match their different gowns
slippers OF patent leather. with rhine
stone buckles are a good investment.
Bronze slippers make the daintiest
foot covering imaginable especially
when finished with a metal buckle and
worn with silk stockings to match.
Bronze is more charming than sem
sible, however. It cannot be worn
with all sorts of house gowns. as can
the black slipper and Is likely to peel

Gold slippers. which are unmistalS-
ably popular, come in gold cloth and

preferable.

The question debated at the Milton

place on Friday evening. April 3. An

For the information Of any who are un-
informed we win say we don't know how
the subject reads and havn't found any
one who does; but il is a question OF
consolidation or no consolidation OF Ru-
raj Schol Districts. Prof. Brooks will
argue the affirmative, and George w.
Jones the negative side OF the question.

FINE RUN OF
FISH AT BOWERS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, April 3.-Several fishing
records I'm Delaware have been broken this
week. The first OF April shad run at Bow
ers' Beach has been good and strong and
big shad have held up at 81 apiece in the
markets and have a taste worth every
cent of It. The six-pound roe shad has been
everywhere in evidence.
There were some remarkable incidents
attending the weeks fishing along the
bay shore. Providence seems to desire TO
meet the ever-increasing wants OF man.
for he has sent fresh cod fish into the
Delaware and several have been caught.
George W. Macklin and Whiteley Travis,
fishermen hailing from Milford, caught
during the week one large drum fish big
enough to be called a bass drum fish; a
cod fish Weighing three pounds, and four
teen king crabs.
