SHE LEFT.

You are the one who tried to kill
me-" Grace repeated.
If you persist in that I will take the
power Of attorney which you exercise
away from YOU" said Mrs. Grace.
Who was formerly the wife of a
wealthy Philadelphia pulp manufac-
turer.
Grace then repented.
Il don't know who did it." he said.
Here is the story told by Mrs Grace:
Il left the house at 1215 o'clock TO
GO to Newman, where | was to stay
while Mr.. Grace was In Philadelphia
for which place he planned to leave
on an afternoon train. When | left
him my husband was about ready to
get up. l knew that he was not feeling
we'll but did not think he was very
sick. He said he would meet me at the
depot hut when he failed to do SO. /
went to Newman, thinking he had been
Detained on business. The next thing
| heard was when l reached the home
of his mother. They said there that
Gene had been shot. Ny arrest and the
accusation of my husband IS all a
horrible mistake.
Grace told the police when they
first reached him that he first discov-
cred he was shot, at o'clock in the
! morning, when he awoke with burn
ing sensation in his side. Il told my
wife" he said, and asked her to get
/ doctor. She left the room and came
back later saying she was unable to
reach one over the telephone" Grace
says then he became unconscious and
when he next awoke he worked his
way to the telephone and called the
police.
Much Importance is attached by the
police to the corroborative testimony
of j. c. Rufin and his wife, Negro
servants. The woman SAYS she made
FIRE in Graces room, about 7 O'Clock,
at Mrs GFace's request. While she was
in the room she says Grace groaned
several times and Mrs Grace said:
You are not sick, Gene, you are
sleeping"
Ruffin says Mrs. Grace told him as
she was leaving the house that her
husband was sick and that he had
wanted doctor but had changed his
mind and If the doctor came he was
to be sent away. Mrs Grace denies
giving any such instructions
revolver was found on a window
sill in the hall on the floor below
Grace's room. It bad one empty
chamber. The key to the door of the
room which the police found locked
was in a receptacle in the hall, where
Mrs. Grace said, it usually was kept
AS furnishing a possible motive the
police are said to have discovered, to-
day, that Grace recently had his life
insured for $4,000. naming his wife
as the beneficiary. on the other hand
friends Of the accused woman point
out that Mrs. Grace is very wealthy
by a former marriage and such sum
would be no incentive. The Graces had
been married less than a year and
apparently We're living happily
Mrs Grace's hearing was set for
next Wednesday afternoon Her bond
was fixed at $500

REVIVAL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Some American Women Who Make
Jewelry and Other Treasures.

Some form of craftsmanship furnishes
a delightful and useful means OF recrea-

fellow-craftsman the other day in a pro-

which he had built with his own hands
Americans, especially women, says the
New York sun, seem to be recovering
the use Of their hands. rather curious
bit Of evidence on this point was offered
the other day by a New York gem cut
ting firm.
For some time craftsmen had been re-
sorting to the establishment for stones
To be used in handmade jewelry and or
naments. So the manager decided 10
hazard an advertisement in pabllca-
ton dealing with handicrafts.
He put up papers of cut and polished
semi-preeious stones, i've papers IN all
one contained chiefly lapis fthe jewellers
do not bother TO add the "iazuH'9 OF

is much lighter. containing large whit

less than half as much as the other
variety
Paper No. contains Jade and topaz
quartz No. has earnelian and amozo-
mite, No. Garnet and malaehite, and
No. moss agate and amethyst quartz.
Each paper contains Il or 16 stones Of
various sizes, hut mostly in the cabochon
form. Some are round, some oval, some
pear-shaped. and there are few dat
stones In square and diamond shapes.
These were the papers advertised
The astonishing thing is that on an
average 10 letters day are received

which is the reason for saying that they
are recovering the use of thetr hands.
OF course, some of these orders are from
professional craftsmen, but many of
them. the majority in fact. are from
amateur workers who have taken up the
work simply for the love OF 1t. Ihe
West and Northwest particularly are
interested in the revival Of handcrafts.
Chicago has shops which arc said to be
ahead Of anything New York can show.
Even pork packing Kansas city has a

DEMOCRATIC VIEWS
On Z. 5. SENATORSHIP.
WHY NOT sERYE THE PARTYl

From the Dover Index Dem.)
Suppose News Castle County had a
candidate for United States Senator
who was able, of high standing in the
state, popular wit hall factions of the
party and acknowledged to be pre-
eminently qualified for and entitled
to a seat in the United States Senate,
can it be contended that Kent and
Sussex should give up their long es-
tablished right to have one Of their
Democratic sons elected to the lower
county senatorial seat? We think
not. IF the Wilmington candidate
and his followers would recognize the
right Of Kent and Sussex, which they
cannot deny, it would go far towards
convincing the people of the state
that Mr. Salisbury had more than a
selfish personal interest in the party,
ana such action would produce such
harmony and good feeling in the par
ty that the Legislature would inevi-
tably be Democratic in 1917.
The Delawarean is the property
and personal organ of Willard Sauls-
bury, the Wilmington candidate for
United States Senator to succeed Sen
ator Richardson. If any Democrat can

SUSSEX AND TAXES.
D Milford ChrOnicle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
If the reputed acts of the members
Of the Sussex County Levy Court as
to the unanimous agreement, that
there must be a radical departure
from the practices OF the past. in the
policy Of the county government is
correct, then the day for real reform
is not far in the distance. For years
the Chronicle has pointed to the fact
that the present methods of collect
ing taxes is costly and wasteful of
the taxpayers money, and demanded
that a change to a better and more
economical method of getting the
taxes in hand, should be adopted. It
now costs under the ten tax collector
system of Sussex about ten thousand
dollars to collect the taxes when they
should all be collected for less than
half that amount; but that is not all
the trouble I'm Sussex county. About
I'VE years ago someone with more in
iiuence than brains got bill through
the legislature setting back until Sep
tember the date for rebating taxes
and this has certainly done more to
discourage prompt payment Of the
taxes in Sussex county during the
early summer months when the coun-
ty needs ready cash the worst, than
anything that ever happened. This
| little joker should be promptly REM
edied by the coming session Of the Leg
islature, even though other reforms
fall by the waysde. The Levy Court
as body last week is reported as
having unanimously agreed, that a
change IN the tax collection methods
shall be made and directed their at
torney TO at once draw such a bill
to be presented to the Legislature
which, when enacted into law will
create tax receiver and abolish the
present tax collectors This is all
right as far as it goes; but there Is YET
other things which cry out for re-
form one of which is the method of
wastefulness which all agree is the
great hindrance to having better roads
in Delaware Now is the time for
the people to act The Legislature
is soon TO 60 into session for two
months, and the people will have op-
portunity to get what they want or
know the reason why. While we arc
about the reminder business. and
making suggestions, il is very appro-
pirate that the question Of working
prisoners on the highway and start
ing a system of drainage works by
which this convict labor can be made
to be of value to all the people. should
be acted upon promptly. Let it be
remembered, that it is the duty of
every man to see that measures are
framed into bills and that they be
enacted into laws, before these re-
forms can be real and beneficial; lets
all get at the work promptly.
