was fond of driving But suddenly the
President interrupted the flow of small
talk
'Mr. McCulloch," he said, Il have
called upon you with special purpose.
! have come to say that General Gres-
ham, who, as you know, has been in
my cabinet both as Postmaster-Cen-
eral and as Secretary Of the Treasury,
is anxious to return to the bench. A
vacancy has occurred in the United
States Circuit Court for the district of
which Indiana is a part, and, much
as | regret to lose General Gresham,
! must heed his earnest request and
nominate him for this vacancy.
Now, of course, you know it is
customary when the President makes
choice of a cabinet officer for him to
get the views of his political friends
respecting this or that man whom be
may think of appointing. This is
especially true Of appointments for the
Treasury and the Post Office Depart
ments. But II pleases me to tell you
that without consulting with any one
/ have decided to ask you to become
General Gresham's successor as Sec
retary of the Treasury. Moreover, you
are the fist person to whom I have
mentioned this purpose. and I have
thought that it would be the better
part for me to call upon and tender
you here the office of Secretary of the
Treasury instead of sending for you
to come and see me at the Executive
Mansion. do not see how can in any
better way show you how sincerely de-
! sirous l am that you should enter my
cabinet. as head Of the Treasury De-
| partment."
"The Presidents unprecedented
manner of offering me the appoint
ment, and the grace with which he did
so. made it impossible for me to re-
fuse the honor" said Mr.. McCulloch
although acceptance of il meant some
business inconvenience and not a little
pecuniary sacrifice"
And so il came about that few days
! later the politicians and bankers of the
country were astonished when it was
announced that Mr.. McCulloch had
been nominated as Secretary of the
Treasury. Until then they had not re.
ceived the slightest intimation of Pres
! ident Arthur's purpose with respect tc
General Gresham's successor.

this il is fair TO state of the arguments of the
other side that appeals to us strongly 1t is to
the effect that it may be account of Delaware
having few if any laws worth while for the pro-
lection of laborers that more workers do not
come TO this city. There would be no trouble in
getting all the workers wanted TO operate any kind
OF factory if we had good laws for the protec-
ton Of labor, they say.
BY the time of meeting of the next Legislature
we shall have opportunities TO consider these va
rious opinions and a factory inspection bill may
be framed that will not have the objections which
have evidently caused the Governor to refuse to
put his signature to the bill
And we may add that il the working people Of
Wilmington really want such measure as that

FRIEND AFTER KEY
MISTAKEN FOR THIEF

It is a dangerous thing. spme-
times. to leave your key at home
when you go out for the evening.
To this fact Dennis Mulrooney, clerk
in the Irish-American Hall, can tes-
tify. On the night of April 27, Mr..
Mulrooney attended the annual ball
OF the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and
left his keys in the hall where he is
employed. About 4.S0 o'clock next
morning when he went home be
found he had locked himself out. lac
went to the home of Michael Howell,
at No. All Poplar street. to get
key from Mr.. Howell. Howell think
ing Mulrooney was a burglar trying
to gain entrance into his dwelling
drew a gun. Mulrooney was not long
in telling who he was.

INTEREST IN THE NEW ROAD.
FOUNDED 1883.

~ HE preliminary work towards the building OF
l. the dupont State highway is going on IN
good shane. There is manifestly great interest
in the road project in Sussex county as we felt
sure there would be as soon as the people began
fully to realize the possibilities of the road
Mr.. dupont last week addressed citizens at
Laurel. Seaford and Delmar talking over his road
plans with them. At the Delmar meeting citizens
of Maryland we're present and this means that the
dupont highway will be connected with fine high
way in Maryland making a continuous peninsula
road we hope.
Mr. dupont has also been invited to visit
SMYRNA Georgetown and other towns to discuss
the roads. We have a pretty good idea that this
road project will develop as It goes along so tnat
all the people Of the principal towns will be sat
shed
We do not fancy that General dupont will Inn
pose onerous terms upon them. Certainly he would
not wish to build road that would not be pleas
ing or satisfactory to the people. One of the OBJ
iects he had in mind IN undertaking the task was
to please the people.
How much better il is for the people OF the
State to work together 10 make of this road
grand thing The manner in which the Salisbury,
Md delegation at the Delmar meeting took up
the subject shows how it impressed residents OF
another State. Mr. Jackson of Salisbury, re-
marked that the people of Demar had within their
power an opportunity TO secure the greatest git
in the history of any State.
AS the building Of the road progresses II will
dawn upon the people of Delaware what II really
means Let the past with its objections to the
road be forgotten and let all work enthusiast
cally towards making the road one of the finest
things Of the kind in the United States.

One Of the best statements about Public Utili-

report of the directors Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. This report has been
published in pamphlet form, and the local Bell
Telephone Company has a number of copies which
it would be pleased to furnish those interested in
the matter The, sections under Public Utilities
and Public Control contain some very instructive
matter for those not familiar with the subject The
articles are of course written from the point of
view Of the telephone corporation but they are
quite fair At any rate there are many people who
know little or nothing about what the Public
Utilities Commission Of this city is to do, or should
do and the report speak of will give them light

FINE APPOINTMENTS

VATlIH the appointment of members of the
w Board of Education for the State, it should
be a splendid body and Governor Pennewill is
deserving of high praise as exercising good judg-
ment in this matter.
1t is a Board that will accomplish results. do
something, that is if superintendent Twitmyer Of
this city one of the members we know WELL has
any say in the deliberations of the Board
All the members of the new Board are highly
qualified for the important tasks that will be
theirs.
DR.. Twitmyer's work in the public schools OF
this city is such that the State should consider
itself fortunate that il has been able to draft his
services as member of the State Board of Edu-
cation.
We repeat that the Governor has made happy
selections and we trust that all his appointments
in the Future will he as good as those he has
made for the State Board of Education.

THE FAIR AND COAST CITIES
The Imperial County Fair, WI

1 The Imperial County Fair, which
well to illustrate how much this val
lew might do in the making of fair
and it also served to show the people
of the valley who their friends are,
There was not so great quantity
of products. not so great number OF
exhibits as desirable, but there was
larza variety of products including
all manner OF fruits, a great variety Of
cotton. a valuable collection Of grains,
a good showing of poultry and live
stociz, while in the women's and school
departments there ~ere fine exhibits.
The horse racing, as is apt to be
the case. was out OF proportion 70 the
other features of the fair.
The attendance of the people of the
valley was large, residents OF all sec
tions being present. and especially on
the closing day the attendance was
exceptionally good,
San Diego, San BernarCino and RlE-
erside sent newspaper representative
and delegations of citizens to extend
the greetings of their people and to
cultivate a friendly feeting. AS usual.
Los Angeles held aloof. Not one Los
Angeles newspaper gave an account
of the fair. The three million dollars
a year this valley spends in Los An
geles did not call for any representa-
tion from the newspapers, the Cham
ber of Commerce. the Jobbers Asso-
citation or the Bankers Association of
that city.
But the fair was success. 1ndivid-
uals dropping in from all over South
ern California looked upon the prod
ucts of the valley and learned much of
it's possibilities.
And the display of products showed
how vast is the growth of Imperial
Valley in successful industry as we'll
as in area and the spirit of the day
was that of conquest; of rejoicing
over vast accomplishments, of deter
minatien to win still greater laurels
in the future, and to build for the fu-
ture in harmony with the big plans OF
those cities which have demonstrated
their friendly attitude.

The Common Drinking Cup.

Always to the forefront, perhaps but
a second behind Oklahoma, stands
Kansas in the matter Of new legisla-
ton. About two years ago the board of
health of that state abolished the CON-
mon drinking cup in the schools, sta
tons, and on the railroad trains. The
state has not had an epidemic of
diphtheria since that time, and there
have been few isolated cases The pub
lie health generally has been better,
and all diseases which might be trans
mitted through the bac eria of the
common drinking cup have decreased.
So successful in the decrease of dis
ease has this experiment beeu, and 80
progressive is Kansas in all her law.
and regulations that the board Of
health is now considering the abolition
of the common roller towels in school
houses, stations, hotels and on railroad
trains. The change will, according to
present plans, be made before the
school year begins next Septem ber.
Individual paper towels will possibly
be substituted as an experiment. Ban
shlng the roller towel will pro-
badly prove as successful as doing
away with the common drinking cups
since scientific investigation has shown
the towel to be as great carrier Of
germs as the cup.
Since tardy West Virginia continues
to use both the common cup and the
c ommen towel, it might be as well to
m Mitigate one of the evils as far as pos
sible. The danger Of the public drink
ing cup may be to an extent avoided If
the user does not take the rim of the
cup between his lips. On the rim are
the germs, and if The drinkers lips are
cracked or sore, he is very likely to be
infected. Both lips should be projected
over the rim when the use of the COM
mon cup is unavoidable and a little
suction used to imbibe the water.
Children should be taught the trick.

oing the Washington Express of the

tonAac railroad in 1894, is in Cumher-
land
lie was rs firm Ia declaring his in
poccne today as he was sixteen years
age, when he and manuamed Searcy
were convicted of one OF the most dar-
ing rohberies at Aqua Greek, Va,
known in railroad history. Morgan
field declares that he has paid the
penalty of somebody else's crime ana
as result he has been required TO live
"nfteen years in hell The stories he
tells of prison life In the Richmond in
stitution are almost beyond belief in a
civilized country. He points with
some pride that since he has been given
his freedom he has caused change in
the treatment Of prisoners Ia the big
penal institutions, but he says only a
portion has been told. He Is writing
what he calls his Fifteen Years In
Hcll.n
"Not few murders have been com.
mitted through the cruelties practiced
in that prison." declared Morgan field.
When recognized, Morgantield made
no effort 10 conceal his identity, de-
claring he had nothing to shield; that
an irnocent man had been sent to the
renitentiary, and although badly Grip
pied, he showed a determination to ex-
pose the men who we're responsible for
some of the crimes committed In the
prison where he was incareerated,
which he seemed to re cut more than
his conviction.
Searcy was arrested IN Cumberland
by Capt. John b. Pi,zer, Of the police
force He turned statest evidence and
was let Off with a lighter sentence than
his partner, who was undoubtedly
gailty.
