He is, decidedly. His friends ap-

he belong hereabouts?"
NO, hardly; he seems to. hold a sort

Mr. Saul.

Too tall to Be a Soldier-Nothing

Too tall to Be a Soldier.-Nothing
could illustrate better that changes
in the art of war wrought by the evo-
luton of weapons than the melan-
choly news that "Artilleryman Arceau
of the Fourth regiment, at Rochelle,
has been discharged on account Of his
height"
In the old days Arceau's prodigious
stature would have scared the enc
my. and poets would have chanted
the glorics of the age which could pro-
duce such redoubtable champions.
Now, however, smokeless powder has
changed all that. Invisibility Is the
first consideration on the field of bat
tie nowadays, and an artilleryman Of
six feet nine might cause the discov-
cry and massacre of a whole regi-
ment-Paris Figaro.

COLORADO WOMAN MAY GO TO
UPPER HOUSE OF CONGRESS

Just at present Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker of Colorado, is causing the
politicians much concern" says Ellis
Meredith in Dress. Owing to the
death of Senator Hughes, and the ex.
piration of the term of Senator Gug-
genheim, the state has two senators
to elect, and there will be a primary
next September. Many men and
women are urging Mrs. Decker to
stand for this nomination. But SO
far nobody has been able to make
much impression upon her.
AT first the politicians treated her
possible candidacy as a joke, but it
doesn't seem so amusing as it did.
There will be eight or ten men in the
field. and every voter will have two
choices, but every second vote will
decrease the chance of his first choice
If cast for some other man, so 1t is
probable that from 80 per cent to SO
per cent of the male vote would 20
to the woman. Feminine loyalty is a
kind of shibboleth with Colorado wo-
men, and while they form but AZ per
cent of the population, they cast 48
per cent of the total vote, and from
rs per cent to IS per cent of that
vote would go for Mrs. Decker.
"The real joke of the affair arises
from the fact that any of the gentle
men likely to be nominated would
rather have her for confrere than
any other candidate, not alone be-
cause of the charm of her personali-
ty, but because she is better posted
and better speaker than the major
ity of the men in congress"
Mrs. Decker has long been the
ideal of womanhood for Boise club
women, who know her through per-
sonal acquaintance. Mrs. Decker al
ways designated the Idaho State Fed
GRAFTON of Women's clubs as her
Club baby" since it was the last
state federation to be formed during
her four years regime as president
Of the general federation, and she
paid her baby" two delightful visits,
1T Boise, which will always be re-
nembered by those who were FORUM
tie enough to meet her.

ICE FLOES
CARRY PIER AWAY

Owing to the immense ice foes mov-
ing down the Delaware River. much
damage has been done. Late Satur-
day night the ice tore away about
one hundred feet of the north pier of
the government lighthouse station
near Edge Moor, causing loss Of
numerous buoys. lighthouse fog
bell and other property on the pier.
The lighthouse tender Zizania,
which usually ties up at the pier,
was in Philadelphia when the moving
ice swept away the section Of the
pier. Some of the piles of ice were
over IS feet high. Henry Snyder, the
keeper, was the only one at the sta
ton at the time. He rushed out to
the pier when he heard the crashing
Of timbers and saw the section of the
pier swept away, the thick piling
being broken and twisted like so
many twigs The loss will amount to
several thousand dollars to the gov
ernment The Zizania recovered ten
of the sunken buoys yesterday after
noon. Two more are missing. While
al the work the Zizania had her rud-
der twisted and is now tied up at the
wharf Of the Pusey and Jones Com
pany for repairs.

Will Amend Law

AS was stated in these columns
three weeks ago, a special session Of
the Legislature may be called in the
near future to consider amendments
desired to the law providing for boule-
ward corporations and for the con-
struction of boulevards. General T.. c.
DUPONT, who is building the boulevard
from Wilmington to Selbyville has
been comforting with Governor PEN
newill on the subject lt is expected
that the Governor in the near future
will write to each member of the Leg
islature outlining the amendments de-
sired to the law and asking each As
semblyman If he favOrs the amend
ments. II favorable replied are re-
ceived from two-thirds of the men,
bers of each branch the Governor will
call the special session for next month
to act on the amendments The Cover
nor is understood to favor the amend
ments.
One amendment would permit of
the construction of more than one
boulevard in one county. With such
an amendment General DUPONT could
construct a road down the western
sideof Sussex county, through or near
/ Bridgeville. Laurel and Seaford.
which il is understood he desires TO
do. Il also would enable the construc-
tlon of radiating roads to the Mary
land and Pennsylvania boundary.
Another amendment. designed TO
permit Of construction work being
rushed so the boulevard could be fin
ished in the shortest possible time,
provides that in case Of any dispute
the boulevard corporation could fur

damage and go ahead with work pend
ing adjustment Of the difficulties An
other amendment desired is that to fiS

MR.. SWAIN
HITS BACK AT
HIS ACCUSER
Says Salisbury Talked to Him
Of Money That Would keIp
Democrats Win
SALISBURY SAYS
STATEMENT IS UNTRUE

The complete affidavit Of Cornelius
p. Swain, Of Bridgeville. denying
specifically the charges made against
him that led to the withdrawal of his
appointment as United States Mar
shall. has been made public A sum
mary OF Mr.. SWANS defense was
printed in these columns on Saturday
and the entire affidavit is appended
herewith. In the affidavit Mr.. Swain
brings i'm the name of Willard Sauls-
bury, who preferred the charges
against him.
Swain swears that during the 1902
campaign Mr. Salisbury called him
into his office and spoke to him about
the Republican factional fight in Sus-
sex county. Swain says Salisbury
told him he knew how Addicks could
be defeated, and suggested that IL
Democrats be placed on the Regular
Republican ticket for the Legislature
in certain districts OF Sussex. Addicks
would be eliminated. Swain sets forth
that he told Salisbury that the Regu-
lar Republicans would not vote the
ticket and that half Of them would
go to the Union Republicans If such a
plan was adopted Continuing Swain
alleges:
He then stated to me that that diff
ference could be made up by getting
the colored men and what he called
the 'hoaters' TO support the Demo-
cratic ticket. 7 then asked him how
this was to be done and he replied that
IL was to be done with money.
then said: We have no money and
his reply TO that suggestion was, we
will furnish all the money needed. for
that purpose, / then told Mr.. Sauls-
bury that was not in that sort OF
business"
When Salisbury was spoken tG
about Swain's affidavit, he said:
