NEW CASTLE, April 1S.-William

upon many OF bis old friends. for
"Bill" is a New Castle boy who
moved away from here several years
ago. lie is now president of tho
Diamond-keystono Supply, purchas-
ing and transportation Company,
which was chartered some time ago,
with capital stock of 100000. The
formation of this company was the
result of thought on the part OF Mr.
Saunders. who was employed during
the winter In an industrial plant m
Philadelphia.
This rs how It happened said he,
yesterday afternoon. you know
had been trying TO exc out living
on farm In Sussex county for some
years But the railroad company and
the commission men get all the
profits. and had to work day and
night for nothing. | had TO give IL
up and go to the city. and there I
found the high cost of living was
taking all my earnings. ] began
thinking and came to the conclusion
that a paying investment would be
TO have a line of auto trucks to haul
the fruit vegetables, eggs. etc, from
lower Delaware TO Philadelphia, sell
these products direct to the store
keeper and save the oXorhitan
freight, the profits of the middleman
and the hauling on both ends Of the
line. So I consulted several persons
and decided TO form a company. and
In three weeks our first big truck
will begin 10 run between lower
Delaware and Philadelphia. We ex
pect TO have a dozen of these trucks
on the line, and while We will carry
freight to lower Delaware, We expect
TO get the produce and poultry tc
market Just read THE EVENING
JOURNAL and see how the farmers
complain.
Mr.. Saunders said that the prlnci

London Correspondent OF the United

LONDON, April 1S-King George
the other day was personally writing
a reply to rather important COM
munication which he believed ought
to be attended to without delay. when
Queen Mary entered the room.
What are you doing? inquired her
Majesty
The King promptly handed her the
documents. Mary glanced through
It,
HAS Stamfordham seen this?' she
asked. when she had finished
''Well-no. You see, replied the
King. this is-er-hem--f thought
But don't you think now that it
would be advisable to consult Stam-
fordham before you send an answer,
George accepted the amendment,
without further argument He usu-
ally does when Mary personally in
terests herself in any OF the royal
activities--which, they say, not infre-
quently occurs. So, the matter was
submitted to Stamfordham.
That's as far as the story goes. But
it's a safe bet that II Stamfordham
didn't like either the substance or the
tone of his Maiestys intended reply
It was altered to suit his views-or
Queen Mary's.
Stamfordham (curiously enough,
pronounced as it's spelled) is the
Kings Tumulty. He acceded to the
Job of his Maiesty's Principal Private
Secretary, upon the retirement OF Wis
count Knollys( pronounced "Noles'D (,

tary to the late Governor Of New
Jersey was purchasing his first plug

Ask any Englishman. What is the
power behind the British throne these
days?" and he will answer forthwith

him he'll hasten TO add that said pow
er extends from behind to both sides
and pretty well all around the throne
And StamfOrdham is First Assistant
Power Behind the Throne. He has
been attached to Georges personal
staff. and has been his closest friend
and confidential adviser, ever since
the accession OF King Edward. The
present monarch inherited Knollys a:
his principal private secretary from
his father, Knollys having served Ed
ward-both as Prince of Wales ant
King-for forty years. But Stamford
ham has always been the one to whom
he has intrusted his most intimate
problems.
Knollys was essentially diplomat

list, in the Opera House next Friday
evening.
Fun, and still more fun. was the
order of the evening at the masque-
rade party given by members Of the
Woman's Auxiliary of Emmanuel
Church. New Castle. at the parish
house on Wednesday evening OF this
week. Counting members and guests,
there were about fifty present. the
majority of whom we're In costume.
The leading issue OF the day In
woman's realm, namely, Votes For
Women" was aptly presented BY a
Band of Suifragettists," who came
marching to the taps Of drum.
The band members were Mrs. Il. Il.
Eliason, Mrs. Neal Seminar. Mrs.
Victoria Wise. Mrs. Peter G. Madden
and Mrs. Jacob Speicher. An agent
miss G. Rogersl, who was present,
had stock OF "sure things whereby
suffragettes might get rid OF their hus-
bands, and young women of unwel-
come suitors.
Miss Marian Ritchey's impersona-
ton of a fashionable New York
woman was very clever. She gave "A
humorous talk on the Servant Prob
lem"
Miss Harriet Challenger was very
real isis Hopkins"
Miss Ruth Kingsland was a charm
ing wax doll"
Space will not admit description OF
all the costumes, but they were all
worthy of it. Ghosts there were
plenty wandering "spoolzily'
around among the jovial company
and the funny little negro man" won
many friends by his irrepressible good
humor.
The evening went a flying. and at
the close, the suifragettists ghosts %
and all the motley crew sat them
down side by side and partook Of the
repast which was set before them
A number Of songs, recitations aud
dances given during The evening by
the different characters, added great.

of revolutionary. He is ca. brusque,
austere, and fine administrator. He
has entirely reorganized the secretar-
ial Offices at buckingham Palace, so
that they now resemble those of big
mercantile establishment. rather than
a department Of the Court.
He is also brave, having been
soldier many years ago. He is said
to be the only attache of the royal
household who ever had the temerity
to rebuke one OF the Kings children.
One day, when little Prince Henry
rushed into his office with a message
from the King. the boy knocked a
pile Of papers off Stamfordham's Ia
BILE.
"see here, you, pick those upi"
he said. shaking his finger at the lad;
and when you've finished, deliver
your message to me properly-and be
more careful in the future"
Perhaps a more striking evidence
of his personal courage is the fact
that he insists upon opening himself
all letters and packages addressed to
the King, regardless of the possibility
of explosive contributions from suf-
fragettes or other enthusiasts, in
stead of delegating this task to a
subordinate.
He doesn't like reporters; and they
don't like him. Buckingham Palace
is a poor place to go to for news.
you may say any blessed thing you
like, so long as you get out of my
room and let me go on with my
work" was his final word to one
newspaperman who was rather insist
ent on securing confirmation of a
story that only Stamfordham was in
a position TO give.
