body AS result OF his gracious there will not
single contest next Saturday against any member Of
the present board who wishes to continue and only
contest in the entire city. That will be in the
Twelfth ward. There William j. Robinson, the present
incumbent has declined stand for reelection and
George Rommell and Edward r. Conner have aunounc-
ed themselves as candidates. The fight probably

There valid reason why Colonel Morrow
should contest the recollection Of Samuel H. Baynard

months ago to succeed Dr. Evan G -shortlidgc de-

reasonable excuse for retiring him could be
advanced by Colonel Morrow or anyone else. There
fore, il was only natural that Colonel Morrow should
retire IN favor OF incumbent who has served only
part OF term and whose administration has given
such general satisfaction. Mr.. Baynard is

zMMERMANN AND JOHNSON.

TT Councimanic contest is to be made in the First
ward il should be based upon ground more sub
stautial than party power On the face OF the
returns Councilman zimmerman, Democrat, has
been elected by plurality OF three votes II that
plurality ropresentes free ballot fair count
should be as effective and nyiolato plurality Of
5000.
When the count made IN that ward certain bal
lots thrown out The Democrats say they we're
thrown because they had been cast in accord
with the law. Republicans in the ward who quite
naturally regret the defeat Of Arthur johnson, their
eeuneilmanic candidate insist that several of those
ballots we're cast out Illegally and that II they had
been counted, Mr.. Johnson, and not Mr. Zimmerman,
would have had plurality
The Jaw in relation to voting is so clear that little
difficulty should be experienced in deciding whether
the ballots under discussion thrown out legally
nlesay. Upon that finding. and none other should
the First ward controversy be settled II Councilman
zimmerman was elected. he should have the Office
regardless Of the size of his plurality On the other
hand Mr. Johnson received plurality Of the votes
legally cast nothing should bq permitted TO stand be-

The Republicans will control the next City Council.

mermann show plurality OF only one vote. the

MASONS DINE
Colonel Marshall Elected Sec

FOrty-Sixth Time

Corinthian Lodge, No. 20, A. F. A.
NJ. held it's ffty-second annual COM
n,unication in the Masonic Temple
last night It. and the banquet which
followed constituted delightful ar
fair in which between 200 and 300
Masons participated. The tellers were
Joseph Stuart. Harry Van Gasken and
Clarence J. Pyle.
The new officers elected we're; West
A. Trotter. master; Frank B. Newell,
senior warden; w. w. Whitaker,
junior warden; William II. Weeks,
treasurer, and William Marshall. sec
retary. One of the remarkable things
in connection with that election was
that It was the forty-sixth time that
Colonel Marshall. who is one of the
most popular Masons in Delaware,
had been elected secretary. In real
ity he has been secretary of Corin-
THAN Lodge forty-ive years. Twenty
( FIVE years ago. however, he decided
! that he wished TO go through the
chairs and to become postmaster
] At that time he was reelected secre-
tary but refused TO accept The other
members went ahead and elected him
second time, despite his protest and
that double election in one year en-
ahled him to say last night that he
had been elected secretary forty-siA
times in forty-fye years.
! A pleasing feature of the commun-
/ ication last night was the presenta-
/ tion of a handsome solid gold past
masters jewel to j. Herbert Leach
the retiring worshipful master. The
presentation speech was made by
| Postmaster Joseph Stuart
! The banquet was enliyened by
music by Parry's Orchestra and by

irined. Among the patriotic and pop

introduce them into certain circles.
AS matter of fact, these make-belief
persons have no right of entry into
the circles they mention, and this their
victim quickly finds out
A case which created a stir recently,
but was hushed up because Of the
prominence of the parties concerned,
occurred in which a lady advertising
herself as the younger daughter OF a
well-known titled but impoverished
house became acquainted with a
wealthy German family. and offered to
introduce the two daughters into Brit
ish society. AS a matter OF fact she
did introduce them into certain cir
Gle, which, by the way, they could
easily have entered themselves, for it
was Of no social prominence, but a
promise had been made to introduce
them TO titled personages. which
had been done. This lady received
fees amounting to something like
4CO0 pounds. and afterward got out
OF her predicament by laying the
blame on the girls themselves, who,
as she said, proved quite unpresent-
able"
In another case man representing
himself as the Honorable -. made
the acquaintance OF the son of a
wealthy manufacturer, and neeced
him 10 the extent of nearly 5000
pounds as fees and expenses for nitro
ducing him to certain people who, It
was ultimately proved. declined to
recognize the newcomer for he was
the black sheep of his family.
The preface Of the German crown
prince to Germany in arms" the
joint work of a number of Prussian
generals known TO be his friends, has
made a splash at Paris. This might
have been expected when he asked his
fathers, the Emperor's, leave to dedi-
cate it to him. There is nothing Of
fersive to the French people in the
preface. Still, it might have been
better. under present international
circumstances, to have kept his views
for the intimacy of private conversa-
tions. His status as future German
Emperor will call attention every
where to the salient passages. They
are free from military fanaticism that
so often appears in the Memoirs OF
Prince Frederick Charles" Of which
a translation by a French officer has
just come out. by permission of the
French war minister The only in
stance of military enthusiasm in the
Crown Princes preface is when in
speaking of a charge at the review OF
the cavalry Of the Prussian Guard, he
eXclaims: ethan which there is no
sight on earth so splendid and inspir-
| ing"
But it wants something to make
what follows satisfactory. That some
thing whispered by a comrade in the
Princes ear. is "the enemy. and the
deadly rush. sword in hand, against
| him" Said the comrade: IF we hac
Kim before us, our onrush would moi
be in vain," and, in repeating the
words, the Prince exclaims: He spoke

GOSSIP OF THE COURTS

The eloquent complaint regarding
the decadence of society, in which
money tall,s instead Of manners, was
manifested slrildngly during recent

that she WIS willing TO chaperon "any

As matter of fact. there are scores

OF course, is not a new one; but a
glance at the advertisement columns
in the English newspapers will pro-
vide a striking illustration of the in
creasing number of people who are
anxious to make a profit out Of what
social prestige they may be able to
boast Of These advertisements, as
every one who takes the trouble to
examine the columns of the leading
papers will find out, are worded TO
suit all requirements.
There is the titled lady who will
"chaperon a girl for her living and
travelling expenses, together with fee
OF two or three thousand pounds, this
fec TO be increased by mutual arrange
mcnt. according to the social position
of the husband secured" Then there
is a lady anxious to obtain COM
panion for her daughter, who is about
to make her debut in society and to
be presented at court, arrangements
to be made also for the presentation
Of the companion. if monetary matters
are satisfactorily arranged.
Titled ladies who offer to take In

them to their particular social sircle,

into their particular clubs and set, are
also among these society advertisers.
The extent to which social agents
will go was strlkingly illustrated the
ether day only when the traffic in
vouchers for the royal inclosure at
Ascot races was exposed This was
the climax Of a scandal which had
been agitating society for some time
it being an open secret that hundreds
OF thousands of pounds changed
hands between those who wished to
mix with royalty and the society OF
the race course, and those who wished
to sell this privilege.
