An Illumination-The announce
ment on Saturday that there
would be an Illumination on that
evening by the Democrats was
met. by the question, considering
the way the election had gone.
what for " 1t however was an
swered by the notices as seen
from the windows in the evening,
Delaware for Bayard," Delaware
true to Bayard" etc. 1t was a
demonstration of the more loyal
of Mr.. Bayard's friends at the
prospect of his being returned six
years more to the U. S. Senate.
The last campaign was cam
paign of surprises leaving so many
men at home who had not expect
ed it, that there was natural re-
Joicing wherever one breasted the
storm like the sturdy oak. The
movement, however, was not a
general one, the spirit of exuber-
ance predominating seemingly
with the ladies, the only business
places we believe being those of
the Messrs. Taylor, Jones & Hard
castle, S. F. Phelps, and T. Mccoy.
The houses of Mrs. Martha A.
Cummins and Mrs. William M.
Bell attracted the most attention
from their elaborateness and Mrs.
Mallalieu, Mrs. Kate Douglass Mrs
]. w. Denney, Mrs. William B.
Collins, Mrs. j. H. Bewley, and
two or three others attracted more
or less attention. The illumination
with a few exceptions consisted of
what light could be made from the
gas burners. Mrs. Cummins, who
is an ardent admirer of Mr.. Bal
ard and who was the moving
spirit in this demonstration in
honor Of the chivalric Senator,
employed the brass band to give
music for the occasion of rejoic-
ing. After marching through the
town the band was stationed in
the yard fronting her residence
where it played a number of tunes
for the enjoyment of the friends
present as well S a considerable
outside crowd. About nine o'clock
Mrs. Cummins' hospitable doors
were thrown open and some fifty
or sixty Joined with those who had
previously assembled, and alto
gether the promiscuous throng
had a good time in feasting on
Mrs. Cummins' cake and wines.
Some of those assembled in the
parlor enlivened the occasion with
a social dance. Several toasts
were drank, the following by Mrs.
Cummins being considered the
best: Here is to little Delaware,
small in territory, large in honor;
may she ever sail on in the ship
of Democracy, guarded by her no
BILE and gallant captain, Thomas F.
Bayard. She has always been
true to the Constitution and ever
will as long as time remains. She
has crowed loud and nothing can
daunt her. Hail Democracy! mys-
terious of the soul, sweetness of
life and blessing of society; we
owe thee much"

.ROCKEFELLERS
SELL HOLDINGS.

Concentration of the Rockefel-
Ter interests on three of their prin-
cipal companies was seen today in
the reports that the Rockefeller
family had disposed of its holdings
in five Of the original Standard
Oil companies.
The Standard Oil Co. Of New
Jersey, Standard Oil of New York,
Standard of Indiana, Standard
of California and the Vacuum Oil
Co. are those which the Rockefel.
lers are said to have decided to
center their attention upon. The
family's interest in Standard Oil
of Ohio is also being maintained,
together with that in the Ohio Oil
Co., which, it is rumored, the two
will soon be combined.
The R0ckefellers are said to
have withdrawn entirely from &C
tivity in the Standard Oil Co. Of
Kentucky, Standard Oil of Kan
sas, Atlantic Refining Co., the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co. and the
Prairie Pipe Line Co.
Holdings of the Rockefellers in
the Standard Oil Co.. Of New
Jersey are said to amount to ap-
proximately Is per cent of that
company's outstanding shares.
There had been reports that the
Rockefellers had purchased Col.
r. R. Stewards holdings in Stand
ard of Indiana, but this was
denied by those having access to
the company's stock list.
Coincident with these reports is
the announcement that employees
of the Standard Oil Co. of New
York have received voice in the
management and will participate
in fixing compensation and work
ing conditions through representa-
tiVeS.
