To UhuvkI III* Sewxr T.i,tie. Cuu IrucU for iiit tion, wu.ch.' it seems, was the basis of n satisfactory understanding, and by which' neithW -the- city nor the Old Dominion Land Company will be the loser. The commission will make its recommendation in this connection, and the adoption of its report will put an end to present complications. "THE BUCKEYE" WELL ACTED. Crowded House Greets the Myrkle and Harder Company. Clever people, good acting and entertaining vehicle for their talents! ?all at popular prices?that s what the Myrkle and Harder Company gave the Opera House patrons last night in "The I Buckeye," the opening bill of their week's engagement here. If ever actors worked hard to please their audience the members of this company did on last night and in recognition of their merits the large audience present was] kept busy applauding good comic hits funny selections and the well acted scenes that made up the plot. To sum up in a few words, presuming I the future performances will be as creditable as that last evening, i Myrkle and Harding Company gives a j better show at popular prices than many more pretentious companies playing at regular prices. While all of the players know the re? quirements of their parts and act them accordingly, there is one particularly bright little star whose work shines out with more brilliant effect than any her associates. Emma Myrkle is per? haps the cleverist little Soubrette ever seen in the city. Vivacious and pretty, with a keen sense of humor and the knack of knowing how to sing a character song just right. she alone gave the audience its money's worth and those who may not care to take 1 in the other performances will go to see Ema Myrkle. W. H. Harder made good lover as well as specialty partner! for Miss Myrkle and their oancing and singing brought the house own. George R. Itobinsnn as the big heart? ed proprietor of "The Buckeye" was I natural and what the character re- quired of the actor. The other players?Mrs. E. M. Leroy. Lillian Dean, E. M. Leroy. J. H. Hen ton. Francis Bryant and J. C. Carter were well fitted to their respective roles. Tonight's bill will 'he "My Uncle I From India." and while unacquainted with the comedy, the Daily Press can I give assurance of the full worth of the price of admission. Football Note?. The Columbian University football eleven.of Was.iington.D. C, will play the Newport News team before long, but the exact date of the contest hits not been fixed. Manager John Crossley has received a letter from the Capital City organization, which is a strong one. ac? cepting the terms of the local manage? ment which will begin at once to get into trim for the fray. As the situation is now, it is probable J the games which were being arranged between Richmond College and Ports? mouth will be declared off, owing some hitch in the management. Manager John Crossley has secured a ga;n- believes in such things, so grout is the fascination of attempting to lift the veil from the future, even though it be done as a joke, that the old customs seem to appeal to the popular imagina? tion as strongly as ever, and to retain their pristine popularity. Nuts and apples are employed in many Hallowe'en rites. Indeed, nuts and ap? ples are a sort, of "sine qua non" for the proper celebration of tin- night, and the uses f which they are put to make fun arc innumerable. The pei-son who takes an apple, pares it without breaking tin- peeling and then throws the latter over his or her shoulder may discover in the shape the peeling assumes, when it falls, the first letter of the name of their future wife or husband. A maiden with more than one suitor may determine which Is the one she will wed by naming several nuts after them, and then placing the nuts on top of a stove. If a nut cracks or jumps the lover will prove unfaithful: if it begins to blaze or burn he has a regard for the person making the trial, and if the nut named after the girl and her lover burn together they will be married. So general is the use of nuts on this night, and so numerous are the tests in which they are employed, that in the North of England the name of "Nut crack Night" is applied to Hallowe'en. Formerly one of the commonest as well as the most popular sports with apples was thai of "ducking." The custom still survives, though, perhaps, not to such an extent as formerly. It is essen? tially a pastime for the very young. The apples are set afloat in a tub of water, and the youngsters duck their heads and strive to catch the fruit with their teeth. In olden times various spells were used by curious and credulous young women who wanted to discover their future husbands. One such spell was thai of eating an apple before a look? ing glass, when, it was believed, the fu? ture husband might be seen peeping over the maiden's shoulder. Another old custom is thai of placing a maiden, blindfolded, before three] dishes, one of which contains clear wa? ter, the oilier muddy water, tie- third be? ing empty. If she dips her finger in the first she will marry a single man: if in the second a w idower, but if in the third she will never marry. ENJOYABLE HALLOA. E'EN SOCIAL The social committee of the Young People's Society of Christian En? deavor gave an enjoyable Hallow'en en? tertainment to the members of the society and their friends in the lecture room of the church. The evening was spent in Hollow'en games. such as blowing out candles and diving for ap? ples, and the young people present seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Refreshments consisting of cake and chocolate were served. Dhmt ?-d the Offlcer Sam Harwood Sunday after-] noon arrested Ed. Hurley, a young white man, on the charge of relieving Mr. George Oleson of a handsome gold watch and chain. Hurley was placed In jail to await trial on the charge of ?rrand larceny. The policeman traced the man to the passenger pier and arrested him as he was about to board the steamer Louise for Norfolk. He was placed on trial in the Polle* Court yesterday morning and Justice Brown dismissed the case. Rec-'ji* Acknowledged. A letter has been received by City Clerk Massie from Rudolph Klcybolte A Co., acknowledging the receipt ot a telegram stating that the bridge bonds to the value of $40.000 had been forwarded to Cincinnati and thanking him for his courtesy in matters pertaining to the purchase of the bonds. The bonds were signed by Mayor Moss and Clerk Massie Friday. Siek Se.|?1l?-r? ri>RK T-nroiUrll. A hospital train of thirteen cars pass? ed through the city Sunday morning ?n route to Fort Monroe'. There were upwards of 100 convalescent soldiers from the volunteers at Camp Cuba Libre on the train. On arriving at Old Point .the sick men were transferred to the Joslah Simpson hospital.

Washington Suiliindt Inti re-I illC I'OIUU'HI Notes. Hon. \V. A. Young. Democratic can? didate fur Congress, will not speak at the Casino Wednesday night, hut in the hall of the Ainericus Democratic Club, under the Opera House. This was decided upon by the Democratic Executive Committee at its meeting last night in the city Treasurer's otliee. It was a derision made necessary bv the exigencies of the situation: for it" was found that the Casino, which the Com? mittee had hoped to obtain for the speaking, would not be let out this year for political meetings, ami was accord ingly, not available. 'I'hc committee did not get together until S:30. by which time there were present Chairman John Sheldon Jones Secretary C. W. Reynolds, both ol the Fourth ward: Messrs. T. c. Powell and T. M. Watson, of the Third ward; T. S. Watson and Claude Harham, of the First: R. F. Haley and H. M. Smith, of the Fourth. The committee transacted sonic rou? tine business and then look up the ones.ion or securing a hall tor tne speaking, selecting the Ainericus hall as the best that could 1.btained. Mr. Young w ill not be the only speak? er div the evening. Hon. E. E. Monta? gue, member of the House .if Delegates, will address the audience, and also Judge D. Tucker Brooke, of Norfolk as well as several local speakers. The committee hope, ion. to have Senator Martin here on that date. Tin William A. Voting Democratic Association, of North End. will hold a meeting tonight al .McLaughlin's Hall for the purpose of making arrangements In attend tile speaking i iui body. The Amerieus Democratic Club will also be fully represented. CALLED TO WASHINGTON. Dr. Dick Wise, one of the Republican Congressional nominees from this dis? trict, was hooked to speak at McLaugh? lin's Hall last night, but at the eleventh hour wired that he could not till the engagement, owing to the fact that he hail been suddenly called to Washing? ton. Presumably the doctor's busim,'ss at the National Capital is connected with the complications down here. He expects to get through with his busi? ness by Thursday, and upon the even? ing of that date will make his postponed speech at the place origir.=.'.ly rslocted for that purpose. NEW REGISTRATION. The new regis nation in the city Saturday was very small. In fact Is was discouraging to politicians who usually see to it that every man votes who has a right to vote. Tile number of new names appearing on the registration books does not ex? ceed two hundred. Conservative esti? mates before the registration closed placed the number of new voters at fully :!00, but this estimate was entirely too high. Prior to this campaign the registered vote of the city was about 2.800. It will not reach over ::.0A0 with the new reg? istration. There were a number of transfers from ward to ward, but few transfers from other cities and counties. Tl.- l i? K- tuck It is understood here that the First Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. Col? onel Casteman, which embarked here August on the. trans? port Alamo for Porto Rico, will return to this port and here take the train for Lexington. The entire regt ment is said to be ready to embark at Porto Rico and it is thought that it will be landed here in the next two weeks. The Alamo it will be remembered, carried one half of the First Kentucky, under Colonel Castleman. On the ship also went General Fred Grant, who, it is said, apprehended that orders detain? ing his brigade would lie issued, and sailed out of port before daybreak, get? ting well out at sea before the orders were forwarded to Cape Henry. It was reported at the time that one of the government boats followed the Alamo for the purpose of bringing Grant back, but the transport continued on to Porto Rico without interference. Bids were asked for recently by the government from the railroads ter? minating at New York, and from those terminating at Newport News, for the transportation of the Third Hanois Reg? iment to Springfield, 111., and the Fourth. Ohio Regiment to Columbus. Ohio, and lo the smaller towns in the respective States from which the different com? panies composing the regiments were recruited. The contract for the transportation of the Fourth Ohio was awarded on Saturday to the Baltimore Ohio Rail I road, and that for the transportation of the Third Illinois was awarded the Erie Railroad. The Illinois Regiment is on its way to New York from Porto Rico on the transport Chester, and the Ohio regiment will leave Ponce on the 30th instant. Frultlt-hh Kffott. The tug E. V. McCauley, which was towing the Merritt wrecking barge John Haggerty and went out to at? tempt to raise the day beacon, recently sunk off Hatteras, has returned with her tow to Norfolk. The high seas rolling over the shoals made it impossible during the rough weather now prevailing outside to work upon the sunken beacon. Mr. H. B. Bowerman, supervising engineer, has communicated with the Lighthouse Board, and is awaiting further instruc? tions. It was feared that the beacon might have been sunk from sight in the shift? ing sands, but this proved to be not true. The structure is still visible, but titat is all. The job of raising it is a Herculean one, however, it appears, and it is gravely doubted by many that is will again be essayed. Certainly not until the weather moderates. Property Sigo-tl. The city clerk has received from the contractors, the bond and contract for the new jail, all properly signed. Work on the structure will be begun as soon as the materials are on the ground.

Woodward Womblo. 10 13 tf lllfXTINtSTOX'S VISIT. It In Construed Hi Thin Time to Be Highly I Slgultlcunt. 'he arrival of Collis P.j; Hunting-I I. railroad magnate and owner of the] Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Doek Company from New York tonight, l is awaited with not a little interest, and the purpose of his visit is the subject j of considerable speculation. Mr. c. B. Orcutt. president of the company, will accompany Mr. Huntington as will also the hitter's private secretary, Mr. Miles, j and possibly others. Mr. Huntington's magnificent private ar "Oneato." will carry the party to I this point, and probably house them fhile here. It will be switched off at he depot tonight, and in the morning will be transferred 10 the shipyard. Mr. Huntington has been spending I some time on the Pacific coast and has ly recently returned to New York. President Orcutt was in tje city Sat (hiy. but he returned tc* New York same evening in order tcV accompany v magnate on his visit this evening. It is not known, just what time Mr. Huntington can he expected, but it is probable that hie "car will he attached to the afternoon strain from Richmond What the "Father of Newport News" 1 has "up his sleeve" on this trip cannot be ascertained, but those who are close? ly identified with shipyard interests I seem to think that the time has arrived j when some of his pet projects will as? sume active shape. On previous trips, the great self-made man staled positively that he would one day build an ordnance factory and armor-plate plant. Following this in? teresting bit of information was the pun base by Mr. Huntington of one half mile of water front afoove shipyard for the purpose of "advancing the in? terests or the Newport" News Ship? building and Dry Dock Company." By securing absolute control of this I property. Mr. Huntington gratified his] wish to have one full mile or water front ror his great shipbuilding indus? try. Now that he has taken this step, it is believed that he will go farther and establish the two plants which will make this the largest and? most com? plete shipbuilding plants in the world. The shipyard now etnploys about I 5.000 men. An armor plate plant and an ordnance raetory would necessitate the employment or at least 5.000 more. Thus ii will he seen that if Mr. Hunt? ington carries out the plans he enter? tained some months ago. Newport News will he lienefltted in many. ways. Of course any statements as to the purpose of Mr. Huntington's visit are mere speculation, hut thel trip at this I lime is construed to be highly signifi THK Tit AM I* NUISANCE. KITeetlve CruxHde Inaugurated Agalna' Helm? by in? c. and O. Probably the most superlative and unbearable or all the nuisances which afflict municipalities and' railways is the tramp nuisance, which has grown to even more than its usual ante-Christ? mas proportions this fall.? The Chesa? peake Ohio railway and Newport News have, had thetr iulWshare,of the ubiquitous, ?i\v'od rtcenttyv-?T..',t?;;- eity a" number of cases have been reported of their insulting and even threatening manner. They haunt the kitchen doors, and some times go boldly up to the front door of a residence and demand food w ith the air of men who had earned the right to demand and receive. Upon the railway they have become a prominent and fixed institution, and it is almost impossible to read of an accl dent without seeing .where one or more tramps were "horribly mangled." They are generally killed, hut it is stated upon excellent authority that soap and railroads are about the only institutions which do effect them ratally. The Chesapeake Ohio finally reach ed a point where patience ceased to hi a virtue, and decided to inaugurate i crusade against the army of the grea unwashed which was using the line as a common carrier. Accordingly th matter was placed in the hands of Rail way Detective J. B. Heck, who on Sat urday night, rounded up at Morrison" an even dozen hobos who were stealin rides. Sunday ni".ht. at the same, placf he pulled eight more, and the wh score of them were taken before lice Ford, who assessed eighteen them fines and costs amounting SS.75 each. The other two carried con cealed weapons, for which privilege H Honor taxed them $37.70 each, and coi fiscated the contraband articles, i they were all without available cash or bank tic-counts, they were sent up to d SAVANNA IT.

Not? withstanding the more peaceful out? look that has prevailed for the past two days, the feeling of unrest begins to show itself again tonight. There is a disquieting rumor that the negroes are seriously considering the question or running a county ticket, regardless of the wishes of Governor Russell and the three or four white lieutenants here who, have not deserted him. The unexpected arrival or Governor Russe! this evening caps the climax of the changed conditions. The hope among conservative people is that Cov? et nor Russell has heard of the move? ment of the negroes to place a county ticket in the Held and has come here to suppress it if possible. There are other theories, however. In regard to the object of his visit. There is little doubt that it" a Republi? can ticket is brought out ror county otlicers. the situation here will become more serious than ever. The Democrats have carried out their part of the ar? rangement made with the governor by changing their candidates ror the lower house of the legislature and they are furious over the talk of a negro county ticket. 'five following editorial from the negro paper. The Record, or this after? noon, is considered when read between the lines, a positiv,- indication that the negroes do not consider the question of a county ticket dually settled. The Record is the paper that printed the In? famous editorial reflecting on the chastity of the white women of the State. The article that appeared this afternoon is as follows: "Saturday at 12 noon was the time appointed ror the holding or the county I convention and Humiliation of county I officers. At ill o'clock^, the delegates went into caucus and .after much speech-making and resolving, it was decided not to nominate a ticket at this time; consequently there was no need for calling the convention to? gether. It was rumoren around the city that the convention or some one had decided not to put up a ticket for county otlicers at all. but concede every thing to the Democrats. We tried to ascertain the truth of this statement hul could not. "The morning papers, however, came nut yesterday with the announcement that there would 'tic no Republican ticket in the Held and that everything had been arranged by the governor. So we presume the county convention must have met Saturday afternoon as nothing of this nature had been de? cided upon al the close of the caucus." BOUND FOR HAMPTON ROADS. Maria Teresa Sails From Calmanera. To arrive Next Tuesday. (By Telegraph.) WASHINGTON, Ot t. :tl? The navy Department has received a. telegram from Calmanera, announcing the sail? ing from that place for -ampton Roads ot the Maria Teresa, which is up to this time the only one of the Spanish ships sunk at Santiago to be floated.

The Teresa, sailed from Gaimancra at (i o'clock yesterday morning with the Vulcan and the Leon.das. These ves? sels will escort the Teresa most of the way to Norfolk. The Cincinnati also started with the Teresa, but she was to go only as far as Cape Mays! ami thence across to Port Antonio. It is probable that with fair weather the Teresa will reach Hampton Roads about Tuesday of next week. There she will he surveyed by the naval board, which will report to the de? partment the probable cost or putting her into condition ror naval service. Tlie advices so rar r.ived al the department indicate that this is going to be :m expensive undertaking, but nevertheless, it will be carried forward us much from sentimental as practica? ble considerations. NOT WITHIN LAW'S PALE. Richmond Federal Officeholders Only Guillv of "Pernicious Activity." i By Telegraph.) WASHINGTON. Oct. :n?It was de? finitely announced, at, the civil service commission today, that the evidence taken in the recent investigation of charges against the federal officials at Richmond, Vit., hail not been sustained and no further action is probaible: The testimony which was taken by Messrs. Aloyle and Wales, has been in? formally submitted by them to the com? missioners as a body and his full report is in preparation. It will show that, while there is much lo be replored in the facts brought out. there is no evidence ot the violation of the civil service laws or rules. The case was taken up behind closed doors today, and the preliminary report made called attention to the fact that the participation of officials in the political gatherings was. in their belief, a viola? tion of the Cleveland order regarding "pernicious political activity." but that does not come within the civil service BLAZE IN DANVILLE.

According' to advices from both Paris and Washington it seems Unit the United States government will assume control of the Philippine Islands on a basis which should be very satisfac? tory to Spain. According to these re? ports the Spanish government will he reimbursed for all money expended in developing the islands, except in those places now occupied by American troops or controlled by the American navy. This is an eminently fair and liberal proposition and if the Spaniards have an iota of common sense they will ac cept it without undue parleying. No j matter what the Spaniards may say regarding the matter, it is plainly evi- dent that the great American republic will not take advantage of its magnifi? cent victory to impose onerous and un? reasonable terms upon the vanquished j With this matter disposed of the work of the Peace Commission should be greatly simplified. The question of Hie disposition of the Philippines was re? cognised from the very beginning as be? ing the most dangerous ami knotty pro. blem to be discussed. Undoubtedly the fact that Spain would be forced to re? capture the greater portion of the ar? chipelago even If the United States government should agree to renounce all claim to the islands, will probably have some weighl with the Spanish commis? sioners when it comes to finally decid? ing the matter. They will probably ar? gue that it is belter to accept a given sum from Uncle Sam than to take the chances of gaining the whole territory again by either diplomacy or further righting. It is quite eveldent thai the adminis? tration tit Washington is disposed to ti-at the dons with till Hie leniency they deserve, and the Spanish com? missioners will he exceedingly foolish if they fail to take advantage of this fact while they may. It has been shown that neither bluffs nor the much vaunt ed Castilian diplomacy can accomplish anything which the common sense of the American Commissioners does nut sanction. Spain has the worst end of the situation and should diligently avail itself of an opportunity to make the best of it. A GOOD-BYE AND A WELCOME. Mr. Waldo Porter Johnson left this city yesterday to take a position with the Newport News Press. Mr. Johnson has been for .a long time connected with this paper and is well and favorably known to the citizens of charleston. He is a courteous gentleman, a grace? ful writer, an industrious gatherer of the news, and thoroughly devoted to his chosen profession.

Both of the Republican nominees for Congress in the Second District are "confident" of winning in the fight which will close next Tuesday night. We also not., with interest that the friends of Hon.

Confidence is a very good assert unless it is -at a sixteen to one basis? the one representing the propnrti.I' votes upon which He- "contldelice" it" based. In which event it is sometimes disappointing. If an ordinance looking to the regu? lation of building matters ill Newport News is introdu.I at tonight's session of the Council, it is to be hoped thai the City Fathers will consider the mat? ter th.uglily and lake wise action in reference to the question.

He also took issue with those who Chargen typhoid to the agency of Hies attribut? ing it to the water. He thought mos. of the dieases at Chickamaugu Park were niiasmetic. He said il was trie on some occasions when it tfas neces? sary to have patients in this hospital lie on the ground for as long as ten hours at a time until provision coulu be made for them.

COMMISSION AT LEXINGTON. _ v LEXINGTON. KY., Oct. Iii.--Gencin, Dodge. General Sexton and Dr. Connor, of the war investigating commission, arrived here from Chickamaiiga at i, ?fi'clock in General Dodge's private ear. Ambulaees?were summoned from Camp Hamilton and the commission starten for the camp at 11 o'clock. Returning to town about 0 o'clock the commission \ve*it into session at their rooms at the Phoenix Hotel anil liegen the hearing of testimony. Major Gent ral James H. Wilson, now com? manding the First Army Corp.-. was with the First Division, First Corps at Chickamaiiga. He left there with hi* command about July 1st. bound foi Porto Rleo. At Charleston he was kepi some two weeks or more: he di.l no: know whether it was on account of a lack of transports or what. Here ty? phoid fever broke oui and when he did get off lie hail to leave seventy eases of it behind. The disembarkation al Porto Rico, be said, t,...k eleven days when it should have been accomplished In two. This, he claimed, was on account of no: having steam launches, for which he asked the department in vain. "1 consider Chickamaiiga Park one o.' the finest camps in the world." said General Wilson. "I never saw its supe? rior, unless it is Camp Hamilton here at Lexincton." Captain Charles W. Golden, commis? sary of the Second Brigade. Third Di? vision. First Corps, testified that On nearly all occasions he had found tin rations good anil in sufficient quanti? ties and that all requisitions had. he thought, been honored as promptly as possible. He said at one time a lot of bacon was found that hail become in? fested with maggots, but as noon as it was brought to the attention of the au? thorities It was promptly condemned. Lieutenant Colonel Frank 1?. Bald? win, inspector general on General Wil? son's staff., and who was on General Wade's staff at Chickamaiiga. gave some sensational testimony concerning the conditions there. "When the camp was flrsl establish, ed there." he said "1 did not Inspect a single hospital but what I found il In a fill by condition. Reports were made o: this to tiie commanding general and im provemcnts could be observe,! for a feu days. But in a short time matters would get as bad as ever. About thi time the camp was broken up ibis had been col lected to a large extent." Dr. Connor, of the commission, said. "There has lie.-n much disgrace brought upon the United Slates hospit al system by the Second Division. Third Corps, than by any other in the service. I can readily see how this was. since no sort of attention was paid to the complaints made." Colonel Baldwin said so far as he knew. General Comp ton, commanding the Second Division, only inspected his command on Sunday morning and that he did not know of either General Compton or General Wade, the corps commander, having inspected the Sec? ond Division hospital. "I do not consider Chickamaiiga Park a suitable place /or a large number troops for many reasons. "Moreover, the park has entirely tor much timber land t" mak.- a good camp. "General Sanger's division had to send three or four miles for water. I know positively that no regiment re? mained two months and a half without striking its tent and raising the floors or else changing i;s encampment." Asked if the men were allowed to drink water from a certain spring. Col one] Baldwin said "It is true that they were not. hut as an officer humorously remarked, i keep the men from drinking water from any pool, it was necessary to pus a yen tine! over the pool and then put anoth? er sentinel over him to keep him from drinking." Colonel Baldwin state.! that no su-h arrangements were made to fake care of the sinks as have been made ai ''ami Hamilton. He said that the ground finally got so perforated with sinks in the timber portion of the park thai it was really unsafe to ride through it: that his horse had gone in up to his belly. Colonel William A. Pew. of the Eighth Massachusetts, was called. The prin? cipal complaints he made were of the difficulty his regiment experienced in securing medical supplies. Colonel 1-eonard Raid ;he commissary supplies had beea good and so abund ant that the men could not consume them: m consequence each company has a fund of $150 or more obtained by Sellins superfluous supplies. The col? onel complained of the quartermaster's supplies, especially of the shoos. lie said that he bad spent nearly p."" out Of his own pocket tor shoes for bis men. He said that trie supplies were issued in piecemeal and frequently the' quar? termaster's department got the to |ii:si lion bulled up. Lieutenant Colonel W.

DELAWARE WHIPPING POSTS. three of Th?-m In the Stute, With Different KIikIm of I.nnltea. Wu were sitting outside the cnpitol house nt Dover, Del. under the shade of the oily trees on the green, and though we didn't exactly say so wo were waiting anxiously in tho hope thai when tlio conference that was going on Inside was over either tho attorney general or Dunning or both would have something to say. So that when the former dit! come forth ho was surrounded, but ho wouldn't talk except to hint at. expected arrests. So some of us adjourned to the held behind the ad? ministrative "flices to taken look at tho whipping post, and pillory. Tho post is shaped octagonally and is provided with a pair of double handcuffs of stout, iron, which may be padlocked over tho wrists of the prisoner to be castigated. It is an ugly looking instrument of torture, and I asked whether it had any real effect in suppressing crime. Nobody seemed to know, so 1 couldn't get any statistics There are three of these posts in Dela? ware, one at New Castle, where a cat-o' -linc-tnils is used; this one at Dover, where t he victim gets it on the hack with ii rawhide, and another at Wilmingtc where a bundle, of hickory switches is laid on. I was told that tho news of a whip? ping used to bring the country people in? to town in shoals, but. there is not much interest taken in the ceremony nowadays. From the top of the whipping post- ex? tend two arms, making it. look like an exaggerated letter T. These are the pil? lories. The holes for the neck and wrists are smaller in tho one than the other, pre? sumably one being originally intended for men, tho other for women. It is a good many years since a woman was whipped or pilloried at Dover. Perhaps that is why the interest has abated. Not- ei man was strong enough to stand for an hour in the pillory. The strain is said to ho very great, and the sheriff glands by to j releasu the victim as soon as he sees kin. begin to droop or weaken in the knees. Otherwise he would hang himself, an.i that might be awkward. The sheriff doc.-, tho whipping, and the warden stands be? side him to uphold him in his ofliuo anil count.?Philadelphia Inquirer. AS TO NERVES. They Are a Valuable Anset When Diplomacy In Needed. Sonic friends of mine live in an apart? ment house?the housekeeping apartment kind of house?down town. Tho arrange? ments for laundry work are limited and the occupants of tho flats take Mondays turn about. If Mrs. A. washes on Mon? day this week, sho lets Mrs. B. take that day next week and contents herself with Tuesday. -Mrs. C., whoso linen is laun? dered on Wednesday this week, has wash? ing done on Monday week after next. The arrangement is complicated, but gave great, satisfaction till Mrs. D. moved into tlie top flat. On tho first Monday she took possession of the laundry In person, for she has no maid of all work. Tho second Monday she prepared to do tho same thing, though it was Mrs. A.'s turn. Mrs. A.'s maid is Irish, nearly 6 feet tall, and weighs about 200. She refused to vacate the laundry. Mrs. D. went up stairs in tears. Presently Mr. D. came down to claim the place (or his wife, fie upbraided Mrs. A.'s maid for her conduct and insist? ed that his wife must have her way. "Mrs. D. is so very nervous," ho said, "that I can't have her annoyed. You must*give way to her. Slio's so exceeding? ly nervous, you sec."

Are We Loiting Shakespeare? 1 would not say that wo have already lost Shakespeare or that wo shall lose Shakespeare within tho space of a genera? tion, writes Mark II. Liddell in Tito At? lantic What I would say is that wo can lose Shakespeare, and more easily, too, than we think. We English speaking peo? ple have already been advised to abandon Chaucer?In a journal, it is true, whoso advice is not usually worth the taking, but such straws show tho way the current sets. Perhaps it will be some time before any one will boldly tell us to give up Shakespeare anil thus show that Shakes? peare is already practically given up. But if it is true that we havolost Chau? cer as popular literature, that wu have lost Spenser us popular literature, that wo aro losing Milton as popular literature, how shall we ultimately escape losing Shakes? peare? Of course wo can selfishly say that Shakespeare will last our time, and the future can tuko caro of itself, or we can fall buck on a narrow ideal of culture, mid say that thero will always be enough scholars among English speaking people to keep the light- burning before Shakes? peare's shrine, or we can ignore the facts and grandiloquently say that Shakespeare is for all time. But the day may come when Shakespeare will lie added to Chau? cer, and we shall have in literature a Kachel weeping for her children and not j to be comforted. Knew III? Habit?.
