home attractive. In planning such 4

all these do much 10 b~eautify the

VARIOUS FLUCTUATIONS.

HERE we're loving cups, fluctuations, happy
- speeches and all that during the closing
hours Of the Legislature marred perhaps the
final wind up only by the disposition of the House
to crack Senator Drexer the head.
If the Republican members of the Senate man
aged to live during the entire session without a
serious assault being committed on the Senator
we don't see why the House should have wanted
to scalp him. They should have regarded the
Senator one Of the unpleasant incidents of their
experiences, if they really thought that way and
not tried to settle grudges at the expense of leg
islation.
But on the whole the members parted in good
humor as they should do II all shows how
times are changing, how bitterness is disappear
ing. Perhaps it may be that there is nothing, no
big issue that really makes men angry that tries
their souls as the earnest old fellows of days gone
by used TO say.
The loving cup incident recalls a story we used
10 hear in the old days when factional politics was
very bitter in both parties some twenty years ago.
There was a man of the Intense" kind, who was
very warm admrer of one of the factional lead
ers. The sun rose and set in this leader He was
In the eyes of our hero, whom we may call John
Doe, the embodiment of all that was good Some
Of Johns friends admirers of the other fac
tiona leader And so in the town store, in the
home and on the street they wrangled and wrang
led and became very bitter. One time friends di-
vided they would hardly speak as they passed by,
and there was a bitter feud.
Their arguments and wrang1es over the merits
of their two idols carried on with that in
tense fervor which good old Professor Lounsbury
once said was characteristic of ignorance.
One day John happened in Delaware railroad
train. Lo, and behold, his political idol approach
ed, sat beside him, asked about the folks and
all that Johns admiration for his idol increased.
AS he talked the door of the Pullman car opened
and to Johns surprise the hated factiona leader
rival of Johns idol, entered The two leaders
near. John uncomfortable He feared the two
leaders would fight duel on the spot and he
prepared to care for any wounds his idol might re-
ceive But Johns idol quickly left John, embraced
and greeted his factonal opponent, hated by John,
with CHEEKY words, cordial exchanges and they
rushed off into the Pullman together while John
left TO ponder why he had caused ill-feeling
in his family estranged friends by his bitterness
while the two men they we're quarreling about we're
very friendly and neighborly and cordial. John
has not been so bitter partisan since then
John felt that political leaders leave their
quarreling followers to hold the bag If the lead
ers do get excited, John concluded that he
would not do so again.

The MosIem Womsn.

Boston Globe.
Mussulmap women, according 70 a
scoffing Mosiem writer in the. Paris
Figaro, take no interest in the accl-
dental movement for woman suffrage
and woman's rights, because more
than thirteen centuries ago Mahomet
placed the two sexes on an equal
footing.
Girls and boys receive the same ed
ucation. The girl elects her own hus-
band, handles her property as she
likes and can even take a case into
court without asking her husbands
consent. True, the husband may Sc
cure a divorce at will, but such sepa-
rations without just cause are con-
demned by public opinion. True,
also, there is the institution of polyga-
my, but Mahomet allowed a man
only four wives. and you will hardly
find one Ottoman in a thousand who
is a polygamist". Possibly because
the law requires the Moslem husband
to treat all four wives exactly alike,
distributing his jewels. his chocolates,
his smiles and his kind words with
absolute impartiality Playing fav-
orites is strictly forbidden. True,
also, Mussulman women wear wells.
But their occidental sisters also hide
realty-behind rouge and powder
Neither slave nor martyr is the Mos
lem woman.

Delmar News.
1t Is really marvellous this change
that has come over the people Of Del
mar in the last two or three years.
There is no doubt that the people are
becoming boosters. Citizens who have
heretofore taken no interest in the
town are now putting their shoulders
to the wheel and lending their efforts
to move Delmar up in the front seat
Of the band wagon. And already
neighboring towns are hearing Of this
change and everywhere one goes on
the Shore one hears something about
the way Delmar is growing. There is
probably no town on the Eastern
Shore that is as much talked Of. size
considered as Is Delmar. All this is
because the people are waking IN;
they are realizing that the way to
make the town grow is 10 advertise.
and the best kind of advertising is 10
show that the town Is doing some
thing. Results count nowadays. and
if Delmar is doing something worth
while, let the people advertise It by
word o. mouth. never loosing an op-
portunity TO put In a word about what
the town is doing and what the pec-
pie are doing to make It grow. BE
a booster, and for goodness sake. il
you can't boost or wont-don't

UNJUST CRITICISMS.

4 2 N SEVERAL occasions the Dover Index has
~ made some petty filings at Senator Monag-
han. They do injustice to the Senator The
Index opposed the DUPONT good road bill perhaps
because some of the Index crowd we're so bound
up with Senator Drexler that they could see moth
ing but the Drexler bill
The Index thinks that Senator Monaghan fav-
ored the bill chiefly because he wanted to pay
Speaker Pro Tenn. of the Senate. 1t talks about
Senator Monaghan's "smothering committee"
which knocked out the amendments
In justice to Senator Monaghan we cannot see
that he was under any political or any other
kind of obligation TO the Republicans The shoe
was on the other foot, for had not Senator Mon
Afghan accepted the position Of Speaker Pro TEN.
the wrangle among the Republicans might have
continued indefinitely
The Republicans exacted no promise from Mr.
Monaghan when he made Speaker, and had
they tried 10 do so, we do not believe that Mr.
Monaghan would have made any
He favored the DUPONT road bill Just as most
other Democrats did, merely because, as we con-
lecture they did not intend TO let the chance go
by when some offered TO spend vast sum
of money for an Improvement the State has wanted
for many years They did not intend that such
an opportunity should be lost
We hold no brief to defend Senator Monaghan.
He needs no defense but we may add that If the
Democrats followed the ideas of Senator Monag-
han more instead Of the opinions as expressed
by the Dover Index and some other leaders in the
party thought of the day, politically speaking
they would be much better off

SOME SCATTERING REMARKS.

MR.. JONATHAN w. AYDON, who is styled
Il the publicity agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the other day celebrated his
forty-third year of service with the company.
Aged some 60 years, they say he is, but we didn't
think that he more than fifty, and judging
from the manner he is conducting the campaign
of education in regard TO trespassing, Father
Time must have made an error, for Mr.. Aydon by
his vigor can't he more than "a At any rate, we
fear that we shall fear to look at a locomotive

work in their campaign of education and VIC are

many others who have seen service as long with

time of the other alarm from the same
box. The firemen again found con-
ditions at the box in the hall OF the
school exactly as they ought to be.
Even before the ringing I'm of the
last alarm, stories had been started
by some of the imaginative people in
that section Of the city that the
alarms were rung in by a ghost. The
school building stands on a part Of
the cite of an old cemetery. Years
ago, when Utica was quite young, this
particular site was the only ceme-
terry As the city began to encrouch
upon the cemetery, burials were
stopped and the place was fenced in.
Finally the city purchased a part Of
the plot and used 1t for the school
site. M
1t is recalled by some of the older
railroad men in the city that some
forty or fifty years ago a railroad
was constructed through one part of
the cemetery, which was afterwards
leased to the Lackawanna. They say
that for months after the road was
built great difficulty was experienced
with some switch lights located with
in the cemetery lines. They had a
provoking way Of going out or of dis,
