MAYOR GAYNOR AND HIS
WOULD-BE ASSASSIN.

The man who failed in his attempt to
assassinate Mayor Gaynor is one OF
many who are to be found in every city
of the United States and Europe
This would-be assassin, J. J. Gala
CHER, an employee Of the municipality OF
New York, had been discharged for
cause. Gallagher had not been removed
from his position by Mayor Gaynor, but
by a subordinate. It is more than prob
able that Mayor Gaynor did not know
the man, nor had he been apprised OF
his discharge. However, this is ir1tna-
terial. The individual upon whom Gal
lagher should have vented his displeas-
TIRE is the man by whom ne was dis
placed, but he sought instead the head
of the administration of the City of New
York.
In his attempted assassination Of
Mayor Gaynor he struck at all the peo-
pie. Il was blow aimed at the SOW
ereignty of government, established by
and for the people
In fancy, perhaps, Gallagher assumed
that as he had long been in the service
of the city, and put there through some
political influence, he was safe from re-
noyal, even for misconduct, and having
brooded over what he assumed to have
been the taking away of his rights and
privileges and his liberty as a citizen,
he planned in retaliation the assassiha-
ton of Mayor Gaynor. It is fortunate
that he failed.
The taking away of Mayor Gaynor
at this time would be a calamity. of
whom it IS said, and the record sustains
the assertion, that he is the greatest re-

York City When Mayor Gaynor had
assumed charge of New York City he
began to weed out inte1ligently, but with
firm hand, many of the abuses of the
municipality, including grafters and
grating, which provoked the resentment
of the men who had profted from the
stealings. As he incurred the enmity

Care of the Poultry House.

Arrange your poultry house so that
most of the cleaning can be done with
a broom. To do this, keep the floor
well covered with dry earth and when
the house is to be cleaned simply
earth, using an extra quantity under
the roosts. In this manner the work
can be done in a few minutes and the
droppings can be placed in barrels and
the earth will assist in preserving
them. Dry earth is one of the best
absorbents and deodorizers that can
be found. If placed in the breeders
the small chicks will thrive much bet
ter than If allowed on the bare boards.

A sYMPToMATIC CRIME.

1
| Gallagher's murderous attack upon
Mayor Gaynor is symptomatic of deep
seated disease in the body polite, as
Guiteau's assassination of President
Garfield was for, in the one case as in
the other. the assassin could not hope to
change the genius and policies of SOW
ereign State. but struck down a chief
executive with no higher motive than
the lust of office. Brutus and his fellow
conspirators imagined that they might
save the republic by staying the man
who was felt to incarnate the spirit of
empire: Ravaillac drove the dagger to
the heart of Henry " under the inn
pulse of religious frenzy; Booth slew
Lincoln to help the South's cause.-
Times-Democrat.
This is a misstatement as it applies to
Booth and the South Indeed, it re-
fleets discredit on the South, and there
fore should not be permitted to go un-
noticed.
In what sense could the assassination
of President Lincoln be helpful to the
South?
The assassination of President Lin
coin was a calamity, in which the South
had no part or connection or counte-
nance. directly Or indirectly, or in any
manner or sense whatever.
If the Times-Democrat will inform it
self it will discover that the assassina-
ton was due to a resentment by Booth
against Mr. Lincoln, who, as it is
claimed, had failed to interpose elem
ency in the case of one of Booths dear
friends.
The conspiracy to kidnap Lincoln and
take him South and hold him for ram
som, is also one of the links in the chain
of circumstances attending the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln. In fact, a
detailed statement of the assassination,
even if abbreviated, would take more
space than we could give in this issue
of the Caucasian. :.-
The plot to capture Lincoln and his
associates and the escape of Booth from
Washington, including his pursuit, is a
narrative thrilling with sensationa1ism
1t has been claimed that Booth was
killed in a stable on the Carrot farm in
Virginia, but there is authority for the !
statement that Booth escaped, and died
several years afterwards in Mexico TN
der an assumed name. The man killed
on the Carrot farm is said to have been
named Rudy. He had no connection !
with Booth or the assassination.
1t may be declared as a fact, which
can not be disputed, that Jefferson Da-
Wis nor any one of his Cabinet nor any
of the leaders in the Confederacy had
connection with Booth.
The first intimation of Mr.. Linco1n's
assassination was given Mr. Davis at
Danville, Va, when he was on his re-
treat south after the fall of Richmond
When apprised of this assassination,
Mr.. Davis was visibly moved and with
fearful eyes exclaimed that the death of
Mr.. Lincoln would prove to be the
greatest calamity to the people of the
South, which was experienced during
the days of reconstruction.
There is much which is associated
with Booth and the South which is fan
ciful and untrue. Instead of helping
the South, Booth in assassinating Lin
coin dragged the South to the utmost
depths of humiliation and shame and
it was made to pay the penalty for
most horrible and horrifying crime
which the South should and will never
cease to dep1ore and condemn.

Should not courses be added to the

NATURE BEAT ICE TRUST
Cold Winter Formed Natural

Ittakes nature TO beat the truste. The
long and weary winter, the coolest in

cient quantity Of natural ice to regulate
the season's supply of this necessity.
The schedule of prices for the coming
summer in Wilmington which became
effective on Friday, shows that housewives
will be enabled this year to have ten
pounds Of the product served aG their
homes daily for thirty.five cents q week,
as against a cost Of forty-nine cents for
the same quantity last year.
This rate applies to the Consumers
Ice and Coal Company, Diamond Ice
Company, Cold Spring Company and
Wilmington Ice Company. These four
concerns form The local combine.
The Consumer Company having har.
vested large supply of ice at Icedale,
Pa., during the past winter, President
Miller stradley, of this concern, was en-
abled to dictate the price list.
Ibe manufacturers OF ice, IL ie stated,
will not be enabled to operate at a profit
this season; they have their innings
when q mild winter occurs.
The remainder Of the retail schedule
for this year lie: Fifteen pounds daily,
49 cents week, as against 20 cents last
year; 20 pounds daily, So cents, as against
81 cents last sesson; 25 pounds and over

"a cold plunge is too severe for the
anaemic, the very young or the old"
said DR.. Jacob, who is close on fonrscore
himself.
"The direct cause Of q cold is bacteria"
said DR.. Emily Levi. "The indirect
