JEFF DAvIs's CAPToR 70
General James II. Wilson Celebrates
at His Home in Wilmington

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 4.-General
James Harrison Wilson, United States
Army, retired, was 79 yesterday. but
his form was as erect and his step as
brisk as when he reached the half
century mark.
The captor of Jefferson Davis spent
the day receiving the Fluctuations of
friends and the formal observance was
family dinner at the Wilson home.
General Wilson ventured the pre-
diction that the European war would
continue one year longer, at least.
THE war is a battle between demo-
cracy and small armies on one side
and autocracy and great armies on the
other" he said.
II is plain to see how little good
Germany's preparedness has done Ior
her in the present crisis. In fact, her
preparedness idea is being subjected to
a supreme test in this war, which will
reveal much to the world. This coun-
try, as well as the other nations, has
plenty to learn"

Man Found Beheaded on
Mountain Is Identified

The identity of the beheaded man
found in Roberts mountain on Au-
gust 13, was established on Saturday
through the efforts of County Detec-
tive James T. Walters and Detective
Harry White of the White Detective
Agency, assisted by Coroner Eckinger.
The man was d. w. Stoddard, of
Ilion, n. Y, who had been employed
by the Elliott-Fisher company and
roomed here for some time with Mrs.
Anna Metzger,. 61S Delaware street.
Detective White, who had been work
ing on the case of the disappearance
of Stoddard, asked TO have the body
of the man found in the mountains,
exhumed and re-examined. Between
the lining and the outside of the coat
an Identification was found, issued by
Mayor Meals, and bearing Stoddards
name. A bottle containing a liquid
was found. and it is believed that
Stoddard went into the mountains and
committed suicide, as he had threat
ened to do, according to friends.

cate a son who resides in Ilion

London, Conn, will be the scene of
the conferences of the American and
Mexican Joint Commission. The three
Americans and three MeXicans COM

DO YOU KNOW

In Switzerland the goat is placed
ahead Of all other animals. If a
boy plaques a goat he can be fined
and sent to prison. If person meets
a goat on a path and drives it aside
he can be arrested. If a. goat enters
the yard of a person not his owner,
and is hit with a club or stone, the
person guilty of the offense must pay
a fine. ..
In Paris the bronzed horses head
denotes the location of 'boucheries
hippophagiques," or horsemeat shops.
Since the early seventies of the last
century hippophagy has grown so in
popularity that there is now no con-
siderable town in France that has not
one or more shops for the sale of
horseflesh.
1t has been noticed that the COM
mon peanut grows in a peculiar way
that is distinctly original. The little
plant sends up its shoots, with the
fruit on the end of a somewhat stiff
stalk. and then before, it ripens, the
stem bends over and carefully pushes
the fruit underground.

that he'll die IL she says no" and
that IL she married him, her little
white hands shall never have aught 20
do except to smooth his fevered brow.
Then, when she does marry him and
finds out that matrimony is gas
range and a sewing machine instead
of silk cushion. there is small Won
der that she feels that she has been
swindled.
Both Lack Courage
Nor are women any more honest be-
fore marriage with men than men
with women. Every girl who is hus-
band-hunting pretends to be what she
thinks the man she desires to charm
wants her to be. She never has the
courage to let even her finance see
her with her complexion off, and her
temper and her views of life in good
working order. Wherefore many a
man who thinks he is leading mild,
meek little creature to the altar, that
he expects to mould to suit his own
tastes, gets the jolt of his life when
he finds that he has been united In
the holy bonds of wedlock to a Virago
instead of Patient Grizelda.
Undoubtedly 1t is more important
that a man should be Truthful James,
and a woman Neracious Jane before
marriage than it is they should be
strictly truthful with each other after
wards. Indeed, If they have been can
they will have no need to be afraid
TO tell the truth to each other.
The real reason that most husbands
\ and wives lie to each other is because
they dare not tell the truth. The
man who wants to stay downtown and
have dinner with a friend, or play q
game of cards, would prefer to tell his
wife about 1t, but experience has
taught him that she will lecture him
half the night about it If he does, so
he tells her whopper about being
kept by business, or having to meet
man from Oshkosh.
| A woman would much rather tell
her husband that her new hat cost
twenty dollars instead of fifteen, eX-
cept that she knows that in one case
she will be berated for her extrava-
gance, and in the other she will get
off with merely conjugal grunt OF
disapproval. So, human nature being
weak, and domestic peace precious,
each is forced by the other into be-
coming members of the Ananias So
ciety. .
Rocks for Matrimony
Thus does falsehood become one of
the sunken roofs on which the Good
Ship Matrimony founders. For in the
end lying is one of the things with
which one never quite gets away.
Sooner or later the liar is found out.
His little air castle falls in ruins at
the first touch of reality and leaves
nothing but a handful of broken
dreams and hopes.
Moreover, the man who has once
lied to his wife, or the wife who has
told fibs to her husband, is forever
after under suspicion, and love, es-
pecially conjugal love, can have no
peace unless 1t rests upon unques-
toned faith, and that must rest upon
truth.
/ Remember the first commandment,
Thou Shalt Not Lie. Leave the man
or woman who is not strong enough
panion for some other liar.

VILLA ON PATH
TAKES GARRISON
With Force of 1000 Captures
San Antonio; Pershing
Notified
Special to the Teiegrafh

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 4.-Routing
the garrison, Francisco Villa, with a
force of 1000 men, is in possession of
San Antonio south of Namiquipa, ac-
cording to information received here
by code message from Chihuahua City
yesterday.
Moving northward, the Villa army
yesterday attacked the San Antonio
garrison of 200 men and either killed
or captured the majority of the SOL
diers. A handful of men fed to the
mountains.
Had Arms in Hiding
Advices received here from the
south indicate that Villa will reach
Namiquipa some time on Tuesday and
will enter the mouth of the Santa
Clara Canyon where, it is believed, he
has a large amount of ammunition,
rifles and several machine guns
cached.
The prisoners captured at Santa
Ysabel and San Antonio have Joined
his forces and are being armed by the
bandit chieftain. Villa is expected to
have marshaled together more than
1900 men, many of whom are still un-
armed.
Both General John ]. Pershing and
General Jacinto Trevino have been
notified of the Villa movement.
Whether they will attempt to trap the
bandit at the mouth of the Santa
Clara Canyon is not known. But there
has been no troop movement south
ward of the punitive force, the south
base of which is at Ell Valle, within
striking distance of Namiquipa-
The small force of troops sent
southwark by General Trevino to re-
inforce the garrison south of Nami-
quipa have all been defeated by Villa
many of them deserting and joining
his standard. Both State Department
officials and the army fear that Villa
intends forcing intervention south oi

SfecidI 70 rFc cIegrdPf
Martinsburg, W. Va, Sept. 4.-The
championship race between Chambers
burg and Martinsburg in the Blue
Ridge League is not as yet decided.
and probably will require both teams
to-day to definitely determine the win
ncr of the pennant. BY winning Sat-
urday from the Maroons in Chambers
burg Martinsburg is still a pennant
possibility. However, the chances are
faVorab bile to Chambersburg, as she can
win the championship by taking one
game to-day or by tying either game,
while losing the other. Martinsburg
can only win by taking both games
from Hanover, while Chambersburg is
losing both to Frederick. While this
is an extremely long shot, local fans
are pinning their hopes to the fact that
Frederick is travelling at a great clip,
and has always found Chambersburg
rather easy, while Martinsburg will be
playing on her own grounds with a
team that she has had little difficulty
beating all season.

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved It's Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.
The following letter is only one Of

Ten Commandments
OF MatrimOny

The FIRST commandment of matri-
mony is, Thou shalt not lie.
Neither before marriage nor after
marriage shalt thou deceive the part
ner of thy bosom, but of most i'm
portance is strict veracity on the safe
side of the altar.
The reason that so many marriages
are failures is because they are found
ed on falsehood, and the men and wo-
men who have entered into them are
as much the victims of a confidence
game as any trusting soul who ever
invested his whole fortune in a salted
mine, or purchased a gold brick from
a sick Indian.
Each has been taken in, film -fiam-
med, done for. The woman the man
finds himself married to is no more
the woman he thought he was get
ting for a wife than she is beng from
another sphere. The man the wo-
man finds herself married to for life
no more resembles the little tin god
she thought she was getting for a
husband than he does a gentleman
matrimony under which they must
exist have nothing in common with
the way they had figured married life
out to be.
What wonder that both are dis
appointed and disgruntled, and find
u1dIEldEe a IalluTe.
This does not imply that either the
husband or wife was a deep, dark
designing william who deliberately
lured the other to his or her ruin. The
deception was unconscious and prac-
tised according to the conventional
rule that makes it the correct thing
to pave the way to the matrimonial
ways done in our best society, and the
custom of batting the matrimonial
hook with falsehoods has been prac-
tised so long that it is doubtful ii
any catch would ever be made If the
truth should be substituted for 1t.
Both Should be Frank
Common sense dictates that the
man and woman who are about tc
enter into a partnership in which theiI
every interest and every earthly
chance of happiness are bound up
should be perfectly frank with each
other and explain the situatior
honestly, but such candor is nevei
INDUCED in matrimony.
No man, for instance, in popping
the question to a girl would dare tC
say Mary Jane. you have no beauty
to boast of, and am. under no illusions
that you will set the river on fire with
your brilliancy, or are a pinfeatherec

years. while am getting a good start
you will have to do your own house
work, and make your own clothes, ano

been accustomed. How does the

Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any
druggists and apply nightly like cold

saxolite in a half pint witch hazel
Bathing the face in the solution brings
almost instantaneous results.
