Beneficial Effects of
Mate Long Recognized

Brazil is the land of coffee, but
Brazil is also the land of Brazilian
tea or mate, and there is no reason,
the Brazilians think, why the United
States imports OF more than $685.
100000. in oriental tea cannot be
in large part supplanted by the in
fusion made from the leaves of the
mate tree.
What coffee is to the humans
north of the twenty-fifth parallel
of latitude mate is to those south
of this line, and it is consumed by
more than 20,000,000 people. The
name comes from the gourd which
the Indians have used for the bev-
erage from earliest times.
Many years ago the remarkable
effects of mate were noted among
the Indian tribes, and it has been
scientifically established that the
infusion is beneficial to the nerves
and to intellectual and muscular ac-
tivity. One may go for a consider
able time on mate without food.
The amount of urea is reduced one
fourth, and oxidation of the tissues
retarded.
Mate grows on large trees. The
branches are cut off and dried and
passed under roller which
crushes the leaves. The latter are
then baled and sent to factories for
further processing. Curityba, Bra
zil, has the most extensive plants
and is the commercial world center
for the product.

WORK STARTS IN CONNECTION
WITH NEW DOVER POSTOFFIcE
CONCRETE ROAD TO BE DONE
BEFORE BUILDING STARTS
Widening South State Street
City Council Represented at
Welfare Federation Meet

The first actual work in connec-
ton with the new Post Office has
been started with the construction
of the concrete road on North
street fronting the Federal proper
ty. According to the agreement
with the Government this work
had to be completed before the
Government started building oper-
ations. The rough drawings for
the building are in the hands of the
Treasury Department for approval
and the architects have been in
structed to complete these as soon
as possible, so that bids may be
asked on the building. In response
to demands from property holders
on South State street, the town is
setting the curb back and widening
the street from Water street to the
Dover Lumber & Milling Co. State
street at this point is narrower
than its normal width through the
city. Work is progressing on the
paving of two blocks on New
street. Concrete curbs and cutters
have ben laid and as soon as these
harden sufficiently the contractor
will proceed with the paving.
These two blocks will have a Stag
base with a black top to conform
with the paving already down on
New street. The city was repre-
sented in a meeting of the Dover
Welfare Federation last week by
w. Denney Clements and City
Manager L. D. Shank. Plans were
discussed to take care Of relief
during the coming winter. While
there are not any demands for as
sistance of any consequence being
made upon the Federation at the
present time, it is probable that
there will be numerous appeals
during the cold weather months. It
is the attitude of the City Author
tiles and the Welfare Federation
that any appeal for help viii be
met with an opportunity to work.
The city will do everything possible
to provide jobs for those actually
in need and who are citizens of
Dover. Several applications for
work have been made to the city
management during the past week
by men who have sold their farms
and want to move to Dover. The
city wishes to advise anyone con
templating such action not to do
so, as there is very little work
available in Dover.

Cake Always Prominent
at the Wedding Feast

The custom of serving wedding
cake and brides cake is a survival
of the early practice of feastlng.
The custom is worldwide and eX-
ceedingly ancient.
The origin of the wedding cake
(the original holds little resem-
blance to the cake as we know It
today) is found among the tradl-
tionS of the Fiji islanders and some
tribes of American Indians. Ihat
first wedding cake" was a meal
cake that the new bride always of
fered to her husband. The early
Romans went so far as to break
a salted meal cake over the brides S
head as a symbol of plentifulness.
Still many other nations followed
the same custom by having the
guests drop wheat cakes upon the
wife's head and then eat the frag-
ments for good luck.
The demand for such bits OF cake
became so great that in early Brit
ain huge baskets of small, dry
crackers were baked for every we'd
ding, and no guest thought of de
parting without one. The next
development of the modern bridal
cake was a small, square and richly
spiced bun which the guests brought
literally by the hundreds Of pounds
These We're not thrown ut the
bride, but were heaped at the head
of the table in one great mound
over which the bride and groom
attempted to kiss each other. This
feat was supposed to bring lifelong
prosperity.

Of appropriations Of S10,000,000
against this fund, last winter, the
surplus is expected to exceed &c.
600 900 on July 1, 1888. If a cut is
possible in the 1881 personal taxes,
he said, he would like to see the
sum saved the taxpayers turned
into a fund to aid the unemployed.
Discuss Charter Business
The Governor paid serious atten-
ton to Delaware's charter business
which is the chief source of the
States revenue in the general fund.
This amounts to approximately $5,-
100000 a year. IF any of the
other states, through better ser
vice, can get this very lucrative
business away from us, it will be
a serious day for Delaware" he
said. "To raise S5,OOO,O0O more an
nually on income or personal prop
erty taxes from our citizens would
be a dangerous undertaking, and a
simpler procedure is to make Della
ware an even more attractive place
for big business to incorporate. A
step in this direction will be the
creation of a separate Supreme
Court towards which the last Leg
islature moved when it passed an
act to amend the Constitution to
allow for such a tribunal. Similar
action by the next Legislature is
necessary, and I hope it will be
forthcoming"
Opposes Small Capital For Banks
Governor Buck criticised the
present banking laws of the State
which permit a group of men, with
the permission OF the legislature,
to obtain a charter for a new bank
with no more than $4,000 capital
He said it tends to invite traffic in
bank charters and encourages the
opening Of banks that are toe
small to compete with the older
and stronger institutions. Person
ally, he said, he thought no bank
should begin with less than $4,000
and that State banks should be re-
strained from investing more than
10 per cent of their capital and
surplus in common stocks. He also
recommended the codifcation OF
the State banking laws and said he
was considering inviting five or siY
bankers of the State to study tha
banking laws and make a report
with recommendations to the next
legislature.

Word was awaited today from the two other big minor circuits International League and American Association - whether they were willing to accept the majors draft proposal with the following provis- ions:
 The Conditions
 1. That no player be eligible for the draft until he has served four seasons with a national association club and no player be subject to selection until he has been on q class A club for two seasons or parts thereof.
 2. That any player signed by class A or class A club after Au- season of play.
 3. That if he major-minor agreement is adopted the major leagues shall sign only college play CTS from among those players who are without previous professional experience.
 4. That optional agreements on players shall be permitted for not more than three successive seasons for both major and class A leagues.
 Wars Over
 The directors of the Pacific Coast League went into the second day of their two-day session here today fully expecting to end the so-called war with the majors on the terms outlined above.
 The most important matter con- fronting the league was the election of president. In two previous ballottings since the 1880 season Harry Williams, who has served as president for seven years. had re- ceived four votes and Cal Ewing three. Five votes are necessary for

 IN GARDEN RING
Harvey, English Champs Drops Decision to Dun= dee-POrtney Beaten By Kaplan's Substitute
By HENRY NC LEMORE United Press Staff COrreSroudnnt

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan 10-(UP)-Len Harvey of England to-day still was mlddleweight champion of all Eu- rope and proud possessor of the Lord Lonsdale belt but he was just another fighter to Vince Dundee.
 Dundee, holder of no champion ships and owner of nothing more splendid than pair of red and green suspenders, forgot he was the underdog in Madison Square Gar den last night and proceeded to maui and cuff his way to a 12-round decision over the British ace.
 Close Enough
 The extra two rounds, added when Harvey explained he was a slow starter and needed at least 12 to 'get going" probably cost the Brit ish boy the decision. Dundee took the last two rounds. the margin of victory.
 Harvey came within breath of making the first round the last round. The fight was less than a minute under way when Dundee dropped from the smoking left hook. He got up after a nine count and Harvey promptly dropped him again for the same count with an over- hand right. Dundee managed, how ever, to last out the round, and was apparently none the worse when he came out for the second.
 Dundee did not get under way un- til the fourth. At this point he found the range of Harvey's slender waist and began smashing away with both fists. He was working on the same target when the fight ended.
 They Mixed 1t
 A cleverer boxer than Dundee, Harvey sacrificed his chances for a decision in the hope of a knockout. Inspired by his first round knock downs, the Englishman discarded style for slugging. He landed several clean lefts and rights later in the fight but Dundee's body attack had robbed them of their snap.
 Dave Shade, veteran California middleweight, scored a technical knockout over Joe Anderson. Cov- ington, Ky, when the referee stopped the bout in the tenth round with the kentuckian practically out on his feet
