money as reward Tor thelr ulsIuIO-
ing and misleading the colored race.
This time they have staged some
thing which is likely to bring ven
geance upon those misguided ne
groes who listen to their rantings.
Sussex or Kent counties in Delaware
would certainly be a very unhealthy
place for those radical negroes who
are now standing out as the leaders
of the race from political, social and
moral bondage, to elect in which TO
pass a few weeks.
The State officials charged with
maintaining law and order would
have cause to use more than tear
gas bombs to check the vengeance Oh
both the white and negro races, on
the men and women engaged in tos-
tering race prejudice in Delaware.
The negro race in Delaware Is
cursed with the inflow each year OF
the worst element of the migratory
and semi-criminal class from the
south. which comes with the crop
saving season of fruits and vege-
tables. We must enforce the punish
ments in self defense, or Delaware
would become a bowling waste OF
lawlessness.
Negroes native to Sussex and Kent
counties are intelligent, law-abiding'
property owning and respected citi-
zens. as a class. They, like the white
race. have depraved and lawless
men and women, but there is no dis
tinction as between the races, so far
as ownership of property, or re-
specting all legal rights is concern
ed.
If the radical and educated fools at
the head of this negro movement to
create racial trouble in Delaware
continue their activities, they will
surely get all that is coming to them
at the hands of both the negro and
white races in this State.
That we speak with approval OF
the people of lower Delaware on this
problem. is our firm belief; and, this
without regard of race or political
affiliation.

THE CHRONICLE regards the
coming concert to be given in Mil
ford on April 18th by the Dover
Choral Society as a musical event OF
more than passing interest and i'm
portance. Good music, beautifully
rendered, is indeed one of the fine
arts. Like fine painting, fine arcAi-
lecture. fine writing and fine sculp-
ture. it is a mark of higher civiliza-
ton. The Dover Choral Society,
with members not only from Dover,
but from Camden, Wyoming, Mag
nolia and Milford, is an organization
of which not only Kent county but
the whole state may well be proud.
All who have heard it have come
away delighted, refreshed and up
lifted. The people of Milford can
not afford to miss this concert; they
have in store for themselves a de-
Iightful evening of musical enter
tainment.
EASTER SUNDAY should always
be beautiful and pleasant, but the
weather in the latter part of March
has been such that unless there
should be a very great change, the
display of spring wearing apparel by
the ladies will be at the expense OF
health, if made without regard foT
bodily warmth.

FOIBLES OF THE FAMOUS

longed visit, he carried this pot with
him and instructed the servants in
his hotel to make use of it when serv.
ing his breakfast every morning.
He hated public notice, blushed
when he beheld extravagant praise
about his work in the newspapers and
seldom appeared in public. He never
made but one speech in his life.
He never ate shellhsh and would
not permit them to be brought to his
table. He went out in all weathers
but never in his life used a raincoat,
umbrella or gloves. After luncheon he
retired always to his bedroom for a
siesta. which lasted until about 4,
after which he would either read or
write until 3. then dine and go to his
library until bedtime. He loathed
Sundays.
Swinburne loved everything remi-
niscent of the sea, about which he
wrote so much. His note paper had to
be sea -colored, and the only sort of
soap he used was perfumed with tine
ture Of sea water. exhaling the scent
of the ocean. When dying, physicians
wanted him to inhale oxygen and
thereby prolong his life, but he re-
fused. Then they told him, at a
friends suggestion, that it would be
just like a sea breeze, and he opened
wide his mouth and drank it delight
edly.

Swinburne would not be measured
by a tailor. He bought his suits by

collar and softbosomed shirt. and was
the first to wear the soft collars that
are in general use today.
He was constitutionally averse to
doing anything that could be done for
him by another. He never opened his
letters, but waited for somebody else
to open them for him.
He would not give his autograph,
but had a printed form to send to
applicants for it, expressing his re-
great that such was not possible.
He loved to read of long-lived people,
and would search the corners of news
papers to find any mention of cente-
| narians. He paid a clipping agent to
send him all notices from the neWspa
pers of many lands pertaining to peo'
pie who were more than so years old.
He always breakfasted alone and
