DELAWARE
Miss +. W. Gurney.

Hail, to the gallant Delaware,
AZ anchor at our gatel
Her twelye-inch 'guus boom deep
To Delaware the State.
Her swinging, stinging, terror-bring-
ingf guns, salute the state,
Gay banners, flags and bunting leave
No brick. no cornice bare;
The bands play patriotic tunes
To usher i'm a rare
Victorious, glorious, most uproarious
week in Delaware.
From Europe and from Selbyville
The Blue Hens Chickens run:
In shining ranks the ilremen,
Parade till set of sun:
Anu cycling, spying all the flying
stunts prolong the fun.
With silken flags and silver plate,
With heroes laurel-crowned
And with godspeed, the namesake ship
To other ports is bound:
The giant, riant. death-defiant ship is
outward bound.
And Oft in distant harbors, when
The sailor mends his clothes
With yarn from out his comfort-bag,
Aud Kent's blue chicken crows,
That lucky, eplueky, nip-and-tucky
chick with Yigor crows.
The sailor smokes a fine cigar
With meditative air,
And as he bites an apple-dun,
He thinks with tender care
OF eyer-fearless, ever-peerless, loyal
Delaware.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The $lOO,OO That Tweed
Wouldn't Give Up
By "HOIIand."

Some time ago I told how William
NJ. Tweed. when at last he was sure
that his enemies had him within sight
OF prison bars for his huge pecula-
tions from the treasury of New York
city, went TO Samuel J. Tilden and
offered that sterling Democrat four
million dollars IL he would call off
the prosecution. Not for millions
could Tweed purchase the immunity
he sought; yet there was a time he
could have bought it for a mere one
hu dred thousand dollars.
The Sunday afternoon before the
exposure of the Tweed ring was be-
gun I'm a New York newspaper, in
July Of 1871, was spent by Tweed at
a favOrite haunt of his-the Americus
Club. whose house stood on the point
projecting into Long Island Sound,
where now stands the palatlal resi-
dence of Commodore l.. c. Benedict,
the banker. who gained national fame
in Grover Cleveland's day as the great
friend OF the President Tweed, who
had an eye for natural beauty, was
walking back and forth on a little
boardwalk that gave a fine view Of
the Sound. and was engaged in call
ing his companions attention to the
scenery when he suddenly stopped
and exclaimed. "Hullo! There's
Jimmy OBrien. wonder what he

At that time Jimmy O'Brien was a
very powerful factor in metropolitan
! politics, having gained extraordinary
popularity with "A certain element. He
had been a state senator. sheriff and

DIR. LAYTON FOR DIR. LAYTON.

NAIEs DO NOT fancy that the mystery as to why

and plausible, and with himself the topic Of

there is no record that Dr.. Layton made an

should make a speech telling all about himself and
why he thought he should be a candidate for State
Senator, il would be worth going miles TO hear.
Often will say that the only way to do
thing properly IS TO do il yourself, and maybe Dr.
Layton acted on that principle.
AT any rate there is no reason why the fact that
Dr.. Layton arose in the Sussex county convention

Editorial Opinion
Some business Lessons.


Chester Times.
The Buy-at- Home Week Movement
has made very prominent what has
constituted the chief elements of sue
cess in the lives of the leading busi-
ness men of this community. If
nothing else should be taught, it Will
be worth all this expense and labor to
have this lesson emblazoned across
the record of the week.
In the past quarter of a century
there has been such mutation to the
trade quarter of Chester that few per-
sons could recall the list of men who
have come and gone. Nearly all sorts
of trade and manufacturing ventures
have prospered for time, then ended
in failure, leaving losses in their
trail; while on the other hand some
men have steadily prOspered I'm all
this period and remain to lead the
Buy-at-Home Week movement.
II is worth while 20 inquire why
snch conditions prevail.
All of the well-known tradesmen
and manufacturers in Chester entered
upon their business enterprises when
they we're young. The secret Of their
success can he summed up in the
single statement that they attended
strictly to business and did not let
either pleasure or side issues take
them from the one purpose in life.
These men supervised their own af-
fairs, they have been found daily at
their stores and offices, they lived
well within their means and kept
out OF the swirl of gambling specu-
/ lation. If they are merchants, they
regularly set aside a portion OF, their
profits for advertising purposes; they
kept step with the procession and
have lived sober lives.
Chester's business beach has been
strewn with the wrecks OF enter
prises which went on the reefs be-
cause the young merchant or mill
owner thought he could play the races
while building up trade; could gamble
in stocks and be a habitue Of the
poker room; could be a good fellow
and reach popularity by being one
OF the boys; but'the sheriff has hung
his posters on the closed door Of all
these projects.
Il is quite probable that the Buy
I at-Home Week will stimulate some
young men to engage in business. in
stead of remaining employees. The
week would fail in one respect If such
Fan ambition were not excited; but II
/ there is one thing that shines out
more prominently than another in the
! long and honorable list of Chester's
Il successful business men, It is that
success has been won by strict at
tention to rules of conduct as we'll as
daily oversight Of receipts and ex-
penditures.
We commend these examples to the
4 careful observation Of every young
man about TO embark on a business
career. It is homely proverb, but

Delaware has responded nobly in dischargng
what is both duty and pleasure in making this

world the great war vessel may find itself the men
of the Delaware will carry with them most lively
recollection OF their visit TO the State, and we shall
remember them.
The long labor of the Board of Trade Com

happy climax with to-days ceremonies and those
who have been active in 1t will, We feel confident,

The Growth Of Insanity.

Statistics serve to show steady
increase in the number Of the insane.
The most reliable statistics known to
US, those taken in Massachusetts,,
show that In that state the number
Of insane in the asylums is increasing
from $50 to 300 year. which is q
much larger proportionate increase
than that Of the sane population. Re
ports from other states show similar
results. Some Of the more generally
accepted causes Of the increase of in
sanity are given as follows: The over.
tension of modern life, brought on
by the keen struggle for life; the con.
gestion and excitement OF city life.
and the fact that insanity is becoming
more and more an incurable disease.
