The Wilmington Every Evening. a
Democratic newspaper. is not averse
to the claims of Kent or Sussex in
the matter of candidate for United
States Senator to succeed Hon. n A.
dupont. Since New Castle has its
share of the big spoils. Kent is putting
in a claim for United States Senator
and there is some little talk of L.
Irving Handy for this honor. Sussex
may figure in the race for some of
the Offices and join with Kent as
against New Castle ''hogging every
thing. The Every Evening in con-
templating the situation has this to
say: Delaware is a small State. and
it matters not in which county the
United States Senators may reside. if
they are the right kind Of men. Time
was. for fully a century. when Della
ware was always represented in the
United States Senate by at least one
Senator who was the peer, in ability.
eloquence and effective service. of
the best of his fellows And that
was a great honor to the State. re-
CARELESS of county lines. It is small
wonder. however. that Republicans
in Kent and Sussex counties should
feel inclined to press the matter of
county for United States Senator,
with Senator dupont seeking another
term. They justly believe they car
furnish the Republican party with a
candidate who would easily rival him.
even surpass him. in all respects save
one wealth. "

Friday evening. about six O'Clock,
a number of Smyrnians witnessed a
blaze flashing up to the sky along the
horizon and wondered what it all
ment. The report soon reached here
that nearly 200, 600 pounds of powder
had gone up at Carney's Point. Five
deaths resulted from the fires and
several more were injured. The loss
will reach upwards of $3.50. 600 ard

the cause Of the four fires and Of
the frequent accidents there of
late The four fires. Friday evening,
followed in quick succession and
lighted the skies for more than 30
miles around. The streets in Will
mington, FIVE miles from the scene,
were brilliantly illuminated. The
first fire occurred in a rifle powder
detention house at Plant No. 1. The
victims were working in that strue-
ture. The blaze spread to another
detention house in Plant No. 3, then
to a rifle powder dry house and a car
unloading house. several hundred feet
away There was no explosions, the
accident being confined "a flares. ="
None of the dead or injured were

The spirit Of hearty cooperation
between the farmers and home met
chants and manufactures has been
we'll brought out in an editorial pub
lished in the Centreville md Record.
The high ideals and the good advice
given in this editorial is so applicable
to Smyrna or any other agricultural
town or community we publish |
it in full herewith. hoping it will
teach lesson here as we'll ss on the |
eastern shore of Maryland. The Record /
says as follows:
"Isn't it about time for the people
of this community to get little closer
together, and work in a little closer
harmony one with the other? A
country town and the community
surrounding it are brothers. and the
one cannot succeed without the CO.

facilities would be back number "a

Live farmers would shun it-would
have nothing to Go with it for live
men create a surplus, and they must
have an outlet for that which they
create. A farm adjacent to some
live town and shipping facilities is
worth double that Of piece Of ground
with equal fertility located in some
obscure section Of the country. The
relative values be about the same
the one high. the other low.
Therefore, the farming commun-
ity is dependent upon the town and
its advantages for much of the rural
prosperity. for the high value of land.
for the ease with which shipments
are made. Farmers who believe in
themselves. who want prosperous

A. O. WelIman Returns From
Cuba and Florida.
They Have Become American
Riviere Since the War.
WAIT FIVE DAYS FOR BOAT
Return Passage From Havana
Is Engaged Far Ahead.
Tourists Turned Away From
Miami for Lack of Room.
WAIT FIVE DAYS FOR BOAT

Nature has been kind to Cuban
"grafters' who practice their arts on
tourists, according to A. o. Wellman,
assistant treasurer and secretary of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way, who has returned recently from a
trip to that island and the state of
Florida.
Cuba has a climate that for the pur-
poses of hotel keepers and other hosts
to tourists is as effective as any
anesthetic used in the practice of
medicine, Mr.. Wellman declares. 1t is
less and Indifferent, he says, and graft
ers can go about their work without
hearing so much as word of protest.
Mr. Wellman says that in Havana
he found the outward steamers booked
to their full capacity for five days in
advance, and he was obliged to re-
main and spend the time in jaunts into
the interior of the island. He visited
tobacco plantations, orange groves,
and pineapple fields. He noticed that
the open air life had distinct effect
upon the physique of the people. The
girls, as well as the young men, had
rather narrow shoulders, but as they
advanced in life, the chest, of the
women particularly, seems to expand
until it attains an amplitude by no
means common in our country.
The central feature of the Cuban
interior court, about which the house
is built This is paved, open to the
sky, and surrounded by arcades and
galleries. Open stairways lead to
these galleries, from which the sleep
ing rooms open. The patio is often
filled with a profusion of shrubbery-
lemon, palms, banana-orchids, roses
and other flowers. ferns, vines, and
Gagged birds. A fountain splashes in
the center, and often there is a piece
of statuary- 1t is all very cool and in
viting as one catches a glimpse of it
from the hot street.
Houses Are Expensive.
There are many flat-roofed houses.
Walls are carried up above the roof
to form a parapet, and the roof thus
enclosed is sacred to the washwoman,
and a favorite gathering place for the
| family in the evening. Many Havana
houses are of an immense size. and
cost fortunes.
The city was once the home of a
large class of wealthy planters. Revo-
lutions have depopulated it however,
and scattered its wealth until neglect
and decay are evident. especially in
these plantation homes.
General Wood, during the period
that the United States troops occu-
pied the island, incorporated a system
of sanitation which still exists, and
has placed Havana as a city ranking
nigh for cleanliness. whereas before
the occupation by the American
troops, it was one of the dirtiest cities
and noted for it's diseases
The typical cafe is open to the
streets and boasts of tile floor, mar
bic wainscoting and a marble bar
however, one sees no intemperance
light wines and soft drinks are pop
ular. The favorite drink of the ma
tives is Pima Fria. or fresh pineap-
pies crushed and served in a glass with
sugar and ice. Another equally pop

To understand this Margery, 1 must
tell you something of the ocean and
some of the things that live in the
blue waters.
Do you know. what makes all of the
noises of the ocean-the murmur OF
the waves and the big noises when
the wind blows? It's the Ginglings.
The Ginglings are funny things that
live in the sea and they are just crazy
over music. They have all kinds OF
funny instruments and when the wind
blows the waves up on the shore you
can hear them playing their funny
things that make all of the music that
you hear down on the ocean sands.
Now when the east wind blows hard
Grandpa Gingling was cross for he
had no way to make the big noise that
should sound when the waves beat
against the rocks. Now Freddie Ma
son lived up the beach and when he
first got his bass drum he marched
along the shore pounding 1t Justify
Grandpa Gingling heard it and de-
clared that it was just what he wanted
to make that big noise with. Grandpa
was a foxy old Gingling and at once
figured out a way that he could get it.
So the day of the parade when Fred
die came marching down the beach
Grandpa told one of the Baby Gin
gings to run out on the sand and If
Freddie should chase him he was to
run away down the beach a long way
and then jump into the sea-
You know every boy who lives by
the ocean just loves to chase Gin
Cling. They are so mussy looking and
awkward and make such funny noises
as they founder over the sand.
Well, sure enough, when Freddie
saw the Baby Gingling he laid his
| drum down on the sand and ran after
| it. Away they ran far down the beach
Then Grandpa Gingling slipped out OF
the water and grabbing Freddie's
drum swan far out into the sea. Aft
err chasing the Baby Ginglfng till it re-
| turned to the water Freddie came

.eWhat We Don't Know"

Concerning the personality and life
of Shakespeare, as far as actual rec
ords go the most known of the great
dramatist is What We Don't Know"
Three hundred years ago he passed
away on April %. That is known def
nitely but the date of his birth is far
from certain. Even the exact spelling
of his name is doubtful His father
spelled it sixteen different ways in the
town record book. OF his ancestry
much is guessed but practically moth
ing known. He is said to have mar
ried Anne Hathaway at the age of
IS but even this is uncertain. The rec
ords vary between Agnes Hathaway
of Shottery and AMMAN Whately de
Temple Grafton. Not a scrap of his
hand of write" exists Not a letter
or document of any sort exists There
are six examples of his signature:
three times on wills, two on house
leeds and one in a deposition in a law
suit Not a book of his library ex-
SITS, not an authoritative personal be-
onging, not an authentic portrait. And
ct concerning this little known man
and his plays there have been written
