New York Evening Sun.
The whole country was convulsod re-
Gently by the discovery by sotne magazine
editors Of poet in State prison; at least,
there was a great fuss about It,, which re-
suited in the young mans pardon. It was
Just as if no poet had been in jail before,
whereas several Of real Importance had
got into difficulty with the law. There
was no proof, or at least no satisfactory
proof, I'm the case in question that tho cul-
prit was any more than a jerry builoer OF
the lofty rhyme.
Wen, it was suggested by tho more
cautious that It would ne bad prece-
dent to exercise the pardonng power for
the reason then set forth. But the warn
ing was unheeded. AS result We are
threatened with a regular literary renas-
cence in the jails Of the land.
From Hartford, Conn. comes a moving
tale Of how a sometime banker, serving a
sentence at wethersheld for embezzlement
from the New Britain Savings Bank, has

he was all over it. Then came a
neighbor who said;
"Silas. hear that you popped the
question to the Widow Spicer and got
thrown DOWN.
''Why, yes, asked her II she'd have
me-"
'And she said no."
"That's about it. Mebbe she didn't
mean it, but took it that way."'
II guess you took it right enough.
She turned you down because Jim
Wheeler is courting her. She's in love
with him. but l don't think he cares
much about her If she had more
property he'd marry her, but as it is
think he's only fooling"
$50 you think the widder cares for
him?" asked Silas after a moments
thought.
"All the women folks say So"
"And she'd be disappointed II he
didn't marry herr"
Naturally"
''Then Jim orter do it. Yes, he
orter The widder's a mighty nice wo-
man. and it would be too bad to make
a fool Of her. l must see if can't do
somethin' for her"
The neighbor laughed and left him.
and Silas began to think. II he wasn't
/ good at counting he was very fair at
thinking If Jim Wheeler was holding
or because the Widow Spicer wasn't
a catch financially, why, something
must be done. It took him just a
fortnight to figure out what that some
thing was to be. and he brought it
home I'm his wagon after a drive of
thirty miles. At the back end OF the
widows farm was a rocky dell and a
spring and n rivulet. When Silas Good
enough had made three midnight trips
to that dell. carrying a jug of crude
oil each time, the people for a mile
around began shifting the air. When
he had made three more they began
hunting for coal OIL They found it.
It was floating from that spring and
oozing up through the rocks around
it. There was excitement at once.
The widow had scarcely received the
first offer for her farm when Jim
Wheeler proposed marriage and was
accepted Then he had something to
say about the succeeding offers. And
after marriage he had all TO say.
Men came and looked and Investigate
ed and either shook their heads OF
made cash offers, and Silas saw to II
that the supply Of oil was kept up. The
day after the Spicer farm had been
sold for $4,000 the same neighboE
who had interviewed Silas before
came sauntering over to say;
"well. Silas. Jim's got the widow
and $4,000 in cash"
"Glad to hear it." replied the re
jected.
But she threw you down"
"Oh. yes. but she's a mighty nice
woman-mighty nice. Mustn't hold
such tri1in' things as that again 'em
you know. Jim's got her. and she's

But some one says Wilmington is New York"
That's Nevertheless we can learn a great deal from

Every wide awake Real Estate man in Wilmington should
study the methods of New York operators

The deadlock continued for some time but was
broken by the election of Mr. Lorimer, who got
a considerable number of Democratic votes

members of the party were bribed to vote for
Lorimer The Grand Jury has begun in

Among other things as a side light, it declares
that several of the legislators after their return
home from Springfield, showed evidences of con-
siderable wealth One OF them paid off a mort
gage; another bought a house; still another
boasted that he had started a bank account !;
others have given evidences of improved fnan-
cial condition. In other words, some of these
Legislators had secured handsome sums of cold
cash
