COUNCIL AND OLD HOME WEEK.

TT is clearly the duty of City Council to do every
i thing 1t to make Old Home Week success
Last year the burden Of doing it fell upon Nat body

Delaware State Fair Association and other organiza-

the people a municipal holiday run upon such
democratic lines that one. rich poor is de-

prise of its people. II plays a potent part in the
work Of putting Wilmington the map
In the celebration last year Councilman Sover Of The
Seventh ward. and his associates the Old Home
Week committee did splendid work They praised
without stint by the newspapers and the public for
the efficient and economical way in which they man
aged the big municipal demonstration. II they
criticised as Councilman stover suggested within the
last week that criticism must have come from such
small number of our citizens TO stand for little
when placed side by side with the many utterances
OF praise.
No one, Of course viii blame Councilman stover and
his associates the present Council for trying to
all the money they can and to make good hnan-

they VIII be commended Tor pursuing such policy.
There is. however, such thing dear economy The
saving Of comparatively small amount of money by
marring the week of pleasure toward which all
Wilmingtonians have been looking with pleasant an
ticpation is form Of economy that will not make a
strong appeal to the taxpaying public
Our City Councilmen should cooperate heartily with
the Chamber OF Commerce In that work Of co-opera-

FRENCH STREET AND rHE mARKEr.


THE suggestion that French be used for street
market purposes for the relief Of the congestion
which exists in King street not meet with public
favor
The plan has been to keep French street we'll paved
and as free from obstructions possible the end
that there may be at least broad and pleasant
horoughfare between the northerly and the southery
sections Of city and the country contiguous there
to. In view Of the fact that the principal railroad
station in city is at the lower end Of It and the
joint county and municipal building will be at
the upper end Of it, the feeling prevail that
it is douby important that it be kept open and free
for automobile and general vehicular traffic.
II public opinion is to be met some other plan for
the cure Of conditions King street must be de-
vised. Perhaps the best would be to ascertain
just what sellers in the market have valid right to be
there and to eject those who have not a valid right
Following that steps might be to care in some
other thoroughfare for those evcted II It be deemed
worth while
Much has been heard about King market inter
lopers and Of political personal pull playing such
important part there. It perhaps would be well

return to first principles and then to see just how

In the course Of the proceedings
the court ordered that the defendants
should give particulars Of their de-
tense. These details were of a shock
ing kind. grotesque and insulting. and
above all the name of a lady Of high
position, against whom there had
never been a breath of suspicion with
regard to her public and private life,
or a whisper in connection with the
crown jewels. was gibbeted The par
ticulars follow:
"The plaintiff, from January. 1893,
to February 1908, was the Ulster
King g-at-Arms, and as such had in his
Ioustody the crown jewels appertaining
to the Order of St Patrick The said
jewels were kept in a safe, and the
plaintiff alone had the custody of the
key
THE said key, or a skeleton in wax,
was obtained, at some date prior to
the removal of the Jewels, by a wo-
man giving the name of Mallory, and
commonly known as Mally, who is
now known as Nome Robinson. Some
of the crown jewels were removed by
some person from the said safe, and
previous to the removal of the Jewels
the said woman had acted as. and was,
in fact, the mistress Of the plaintiff.
Shortly before the removal of the
Jewels the plaintiff had become and was
on terms of intimacy with Lady Haddo
the daughter of Lord Aberdeen. the vice
roy of Ireland The said woman was
incensed at this. and became very ieal-
Gus of the intimacy and friendship.
"On the night previous to the removal
of the jewels there were visitors in
Dublin Castle, among them being the
said woman, Lord Sutherland Cover
and Mr. Shackleton, and these persons
were playing cards with the plaintiff on
that night. The said woman left
Dublin Castle unperceived in the early
hours of the next morning. and the
plaintiff did not attempt to detain her
there. The plaintiff directly or Indirect
ly supplied to her the means necessary
70 enable her to escape TO Paris. The

plaintiff concealed and suppressed from
the commission which inquired into the
loss of the jewels the circumstances of
the night previous, and the fact that the
woman had been his mistress; and the
woman was not summoned TO give evil
dence before the commission The plain.
tiff was removed from the Office of u
ster King alarms after the commission
had made their report"
But that is not the end of it. The
defendant paper added insult 20 injury
by delivering interrogstories to the
plaintiff, asking him to admit the truth
of every one Of the allegations. Of course
Sir Arthur denied the story. Some time
in 1909 a sensational rumor cot about
that, in some way or other Lord Haddo
had something to do with the abstrao-
tion OF these jewels. The chief secre.
tary of the House of Commons indie.
nantly repudiated the suggestion. But
the newspaper. when giving the particu.
lars, committed the objectionable offense
OF dragging into the case the namo of

toned it, there was not a veatige of sus.
picion.
The defense expressed the most
sincere regret that they had published
the libel. The defendants were sat
lshed that the lady did not exist, and
lhat the story was a myth" The
pubic would now know that If any
thlng more was said in connection
with the matter to the discredit OF
the plalntin, there was no foundation
Tor 1t. The imputations ought never

sir Arthur 5000 pounds damages.
The Mont de Piete. the historic
municipal pawnshop of Paris. Is the
survival of an old bank conducted bv
a religious order, and established TO
tight usury. The benevolent enter
prise was taken over by the govern
ment in 1901, whRNapoleon was near
the height of his glory. The profits.
about $4,000 a year, go to the public
aid department and the Paris hos
pitfalls.
The storage facilities Of the Mont
