We are glad to note the progress
sive spirit which has taken hold of
President Mott and the Woodland
Beach Corporation. Many might
think it is a useless waste of money
to improve this old resort, but since
the rehabilitation depends on the new
Kent County road, which already
has been assured, Woodland Beach
has still great future before it.
To make it attractive and second to

Manufacturers of Wilmington and
the State are in doubt as to the
exact meaning of parts of the law
passed by the last session of the
Legislature, the practical effect OF
which is to increase their taxes,
says the Evening Journal. "This
new law which for some time has
been the subject of considerable
discussion and comment, was passed
without due deliberation and con-
sideration. There was not much in
any public discussion of the matter,
but at meeting of the directors of
the Wilmington Board of Trade some
time ago the subject was mentioned
and some opinions were expressed
that the new tax would be detriment-
al to Delaware Industries while one
or two declared that it was really
not an increase in taxation at all.
The purpose of the various recent
conferences of the manufacturers has
been to get at the truth of the
matter. Not only do they believe
that the new law is intended to in
crease the revenues of the State re-
gardless of any injury that may be
done to the welfare of the manu-
facturers, but there is an obscurity
about the new law that is puzzling.
Certainly thpEanufacturers are not
at all pleased and they regard it as
unfortunate that members of the
Legislature should consider the
manufacturers of Delaware as shin
ing marks from whom additional
sources of revenue could be ex-
tracted, without also considering
that by so doing they are not ony in
juring the manufacturer but the
State generally. One thing certain
is that the manufacturers of the
State should be encouraged. 1t is
utterly useless to enter upon a cam
paign to bring new industries to Will
mington or to any other part o.
Delaware if the heads of the presen
ones, or any considerable number o.
them are dissatisfied with the taxa
tion laws.
Manufactures are the backbon
of city. They are the foundation
of a city's prosperity. They dis
tribute vast amouC of money in tn
form of wages, in the material
furnished for use in factories, i
the amount of real estate they nw
and in various other ways whic
result in revenue to either the Stat
or the people thereof. The manu-
facturers have passed through
period of depression which ha
lasted for several years, at tn
present time the outlook is not en-
couraging, and to cap this, they ar
saddled through the instrumentalit
of this manufacturers tax, with addi
tiOnal expense, which increases tn
cost of their output without increas
ing the value of their products
thereby handicapping them in thei
efforts to compete with manufactul
ers in other States who are engage
in similar lines of trade

NORFOLK

There have been 'witches" in Nor
folk until quite recent times. A
man who died in 1883 was one Of
three brothers who had ducked an
old woman in a pond because she
had a black cat and wore a black silk
dress on Sundays. After a visit to a
public house they reused her out Of
bed one night and 'tactually in the
presence of half a dozen other peo-
pie who had gathered to see the
sport, threw her into a hole, where
she would infallibly have been
drowned but that some who were not
so mad as the rest cried out that she
was sinking to the bottom and must
be saved" Doctor Jessopp also
vouched for the fact that a man who
was living and master of an ele-
mentary school in 1882 had believed
himself in the ZOOS overlooked by q
witch, whose blood must be shed to
cure him. So he fell upon the WON.
an and scratched her arms till the
blood poured from them.-London

NAPOLEON AS A scHooLBoY
Had Much Ability, but Never Played
With Anyone and Walked
Alone.

Napoleon brought with him to
Autun a somber and pensive char
acter. He never played with anyone
and ordinarily walked by himself.
He had much ability; understood
and learned readily. While I was
teaching him his lesson he would fix
his eyes upon me with his mouth
open. If I tried to recapitulate
what I had just said he would not
listen to me. If I blamed him for
this, he would reply with a cold, not
to say imperious air, II know that,
Sir"
l had him under me for three
months. he had by that time
learned French so as to make use of
it freely in conversation, and could
write little themes and make little
translations. At the end of three
months I sent him off with a certain
Monsieur de Champeaux to the mill
tary school at Brienne.
Napoleon's brother, Joseph, also
had much ability, although he took
but little interest in study, and
knew no French at all when he ar
rived, he learned it very promptly
as well as the beginnings Of Latin.
He was as decent and agreeable in
his manner as his brother was impe-
rious. His nature was as sweet, en-
gaging and appreciative. He was
fond of his companions and protect
ed those whom others annoyed. I
never saw in him the least indica-
tions of ambition.-From Jungs
