A New Railroad Station.

Snow Hill has many influen-
tial citizens. Snow Hill has
men who are directors of the d..
NJ. * v. Railroad Co. Snow
Hill has q railroad station that
is a disgrace to a town of its
size and Importance. Cannot
these influential citizens and
the directors of the railroad
do something toward obtaining
a new station for Snow Hill
People who visit this town re-
mark about its cleanliness, its
good streets and splendid side
walks, and they likewise COM
ment on the insignificant rail
road station.
Whenever a stranger passes
through here on a train and
looks at the station as the train
pauses for a few minutes, he
sizes up Snow Till as a place of
little importance. And justly
so, because he naturally con-
cludes that if it were of as
much Importance as Millsboro,
or some other such village, the
railroad company would recog-
nize its duty and build a station
in keeping with the town.
Between Philadelphia and
Wilmington there are a number
of little settlements which have
modern stations, because the
railroad people want their prop
erty to look we'll, but as we are
of very little Importance, and
there is no opposition road the
idea is to make the D., NJ. & v.
Branch such a good paying
road that it will help to pay for
the improvements spent on sta
tions in communities where
there is little traffic, either
freight or passenger, but where
the outlook needs to be pleasing
to the travellers along the line.
A year or two ago we were
informed that the railroad COM
pany had caused plans to be
made for a new station at Snow
Hill. If this is true, will some
one tell us why the plans have
not been carried out: 1t is not
because the people of Snow Hill
feel that the railroad people
have done their duty toward the
town. The business men of
Snow Hill have asked us to
speak plainly about this matter.
They also intend to speak
through their Board of Trade.
Will the railroad company do
its duty in the natter

JURY DRENCHED
IN TEARS
Moved Visibly by Closing
Address in Behalf of
Doctor Hyde
PROSECUTION IS DENOUNCED
Defendant Never Wronged Any
Man Says His
Attorney.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 12.-Jurors
wept today when Attorney Frank P.
Walsh delivered the first closing ad-
dress in behalf of DR.. B. c. Hyde on
trial charged with the murder of Colo
mel Thomas Swope. Mr.. Walsh deyOt-
ed much time to denouncing the state
for intimating that Mrs. Hyde lied on
the witness stand in order to save her
husbands life. This statement, he
said, practically painted the defend
ants wife as an accomplice of her
husband in crimes the state AYERS he
committed. Members of the Swope
family and others he charged, had
twisted their testimony to suit the
needs of the prosecution. The whole
case, in fact, he said was based upon
suspicious, rumOrs and COnjectures.
AS for DR.. Hyde, Mr.. Walsh insisted
he had never wronged any man. DO
YOU want to take the filthy suggestion
that it was a pleasure to this man to
see Colonel SwOpe die that he might
get his dirty money!" asked Mr..
Walsh.

CENSUS ENUMERATOR
FINDS OLDEST MAN
Junction, Coo., Claims to Be
112 Years Old.

Grand Junction. Colo, May 12.-The
man said to be the oldest citizen in
the state was found by Frank ThOmp-
son, a census enumerator in the per-
son of Cherokee Bill, living in a small
cabin near the local water plant.
AS near as he can recall he is 112
years old, and brings clearly TO mind
events of that period recorded in To-
cal history before the white men dis
placed the Indians in the west and
southwestern part of this section.
Cherokee Bill knows no other name.
In boyhOod he was a friend and COM
panion of the red man, hunted and
fished with him and on many Occa-
siOns, according to his stories told
Thompson, was forced to stand with
him in fighting the enemy in order to
save his own life. He saw Halley's
comet on its trip to the earth in 1887
and talks Interestingly of it.
He came here so years ago, living
the life of a hermit during most of
the time. His age was recorded as
112, based on stories told by him
which convinced the enumerator the
old frontiersman is about that old

MAY RIVAL GREAT
COMET OF 1882 IN SIZE.
HaIIeys Celestial Visitor Will Not Be
as Brilliant Next Week as it is
at Present.

San Jose, Cal, May I2.-Director
Campbell of the Lick observatory is
sued the following statement:
Halleys comet is the most con-
spicuous comet since that of Septem-
ber and October, 1882, and the chances
are good that in few days it will
surpass in apparent size the great
comet of 1882.
Astronomer Curtis photographed 33
degrees of the tail and nearly this ex-
tent was visible to the unassisted eye.
The diameter of the tail at point 15,-
100000 miles out from the head was
100000 miles. AS the earth and
comet will pass each other on the
evening of May Is with relative We
locity of between forty and fifty miles
per second, the earth will be approx
imately ten hours in passing through
the tail, provided the present dimen-
sions remain essentially unchanged.
"The observer should have no diff
ficulty in obtaining an excellent view
of tthe comet a short distance above
the east point of the horizon just be,
fore the break of dawn"
The comet will not so brilliant in
the evening sky next week as it is al
present in the early morning Sky.

New-York tribune., 1910-06-19

Journal to Eliza" In it's entirety for the hrst
time AS a matter of fact, Professor Cross in
cIuded it in his edition of Sterne pubhshed IN
1904. Mr.. Sichel has explained. however that
he never saw this edition. but knew, from Pro-
fessor Crosss hand, only the biography, and as
that does not contain the full text of the Jour
nal" his slip is surely pardonable In any case
the point is not prodigiousiy important anu
altogether too much pother has been made
about it.
We are far more inclined to take Issue with
Mr. Sichel on the attitude broadly disclosed In
his book. the attitude of a critic who rather
fancies that he has surpassed his predecessors
in the admittedly difficult task OF getting
.+ sterne,s secret Professor CrosS's careful
volume supplies many aids" he says. but
much also has been missed" 1t Is difficult
to see, from anything that Mr. Slchei mas
discovered, just what has escaped the American
author inst what that is essential. The truth
is-and we trust that in saying so we may incur
no suspicion of harboring that most philistine
New-York tribune., 1910-06-19

of all prejudices a merely patriotic one-that 1t
is precisely for it's fulness, its subtle insight
and, in short its really defnitive character
that the portrait drawn by Professor Cross is
to be valued We fear that in this book, as in
his Sheridan" Mr.. Sichel somewhat excessively
estimates his own originality. On the other
hand, the tinge Of complacency which marks
him is, at least on this occasion. readily to be
understood and in no wise disturbs the readers
enjoyment. 1t is Sternes fault.
Your true Shandean easily falls into the mood
of the discoverer, because he is nothing if not
the intimate of a personality, and we all know
how natural it is, on coming to close quarters
with the man existing behind a book, to develop
a curious sense of having esoteric knowledge
not only of that man but of all his works
Sterne peculiarly invites indulgence in this in
nocent vanity. He is one of the great compan-
ions in literature, one of the masters with whom
the reader of imagination likes to believe that
he holds more or less private conversation. You
do not read him In the dry light of intellect as
you read Gibbon, say, or in the grave spirit
which presides over your dealings with Milton
OF Wordsworth. You are not rapt in his pres
ence as you are in that Of Shakespeare. You
wanton in his company, not boisterously, but
with a feeling that the operation of all the
weightier conventions has been suspended and
that you may be as gay1y mischievous as you
please. In Professor Crosss happy phrase, mo
man ever possessed so keen zest for living, :"
and as study Of his work causes him to live
again before the inner vision, you are trans
formed from the student into the accomplce.
Is 1t any wonder that Mr.. Schel deludes him
self into the notion that he has set Sterne in a
new light? We know just how he feels.

STERNE. A Study BY Walter Sichel To which

IT is only a wear since Professor Cross pub

work of scholarship. which also embodles
searching Interpretation of its subject Ordi-
narily one would be inclined to say that there
was no occasion for traversing again ground SO
conclusively surveyed. But Sterne is figure
apart whose traits almost automatically turn
the historian into the essayist, the formal

and books about him will always be getting
themselves written. 1t is good to have Mr-
SicheTs study which justifes itself in part by
