The Delaware Vacancy. ‘

With the adjournment of Congress
yesterday a seat in the United States
Senate became vacant because of the
failure of the Delaware Legislature to
elect a successor to Mr. Higgins, whose
term at the same time expired.

The sectional contest which the nine-
teen Republiqans, constituting a ma-
jority of the General Assembly, are
engaged in has been going on for the
last two months, during which time
over sixty ballots have been taken for
the three Republican candidates, vary—
ing little, day by day, from the follow-
ng unsatisfactory and unavaiiiug re-
sult: Higgins, 9 (seven votes from New
Castle and two from Sussex counties);
Addicks,.6(five from Sussex and one
from New Castle); and Massey, 4' (two
from Sussex and one each from Kent
and New Castle). The two Democratic
candidates have eleven votes between
them, nine from Kent and one each
from Sussex and New Castle. The
numb it of votes necessary to a choice
is sixi' zen. _ ’

The contest is attracting much more
than :sual interest outside of the State
from the fact that Mr. Higgins was
originally elected as a compromise can-
didate, leaving no partisan scars then,

nor inflicting any since and in the short
space (if Six years has done signal

honor to the Republican party, earning
for himself its lasting: gratitude and
respect, while making a public record
that carries with it the approval of the
country at large.

There is, Of course, no law, written
or unwritten, which debars other Re-
publicans from competing with Mr.
Higgins,~ but. were the question to be
determined upon its merits merely, as
between man and man, it would un-
doubtedly return the outgoing Senator
to the seat he had just vacated. In the
case of Mr. Higgins there are peculiar
reasons calling for his re-election,
which all candid observers recogniz;e.
. and none whatever which under the

circumstances would even justify,much
less, demand, the bestowal of Senato-
rial honors upon either of his competi-
tors and least of- all upon Addicks, says
the Washington Post. ,

Should no break occur in the present
combination, which has been. repeating
its monotonous programme for so many
weeks without perceptibly nearing the
end, it will devolve upon the Governor
of Delaware to fill the vacancy by ap-
pointment. Irregular as such processes
may be, it will do partial justice to one
who deserved better of his State, and
the Senate without doubt will accept
the credentials, provided only that they
bear 1 e name of Anthony Higgins
and P. on ”118 point the Governor’s
mini said to be made up.

The Deadly Trolley.

TL. ...'ew York“ state Board of Rail—
road Commissioners has been looking
into some of the awful casualties inci-
dent to trolley management in Brook-
lyn, and has made some recommenda-
tions which Will commend themselves
'to all ieople except, perhaps, the di-
rectors of the trolley companies.

Among other precautions, it is rec
ommeud ed that the speed of cars while
crossing streets shall not exceed four
miles an hour; that speed shall be re-
duced to the minimum at all curves
where the view is obstructed ; that no-
where, even in the suburbs, shall the
speed exceed twelve miles an hour, and
that no oneshall be on the front plat-
form to distract the attention of the
man at the wheel.

Another mast important recommen-
dation is that an efficient guard or
safety fender shall be attached to each
car. The companies are urged not to
wait until a petite. lender is devised,
but to get the best in use at present,
and improve upon them if possible. At
the same time, says the Board, the
intention of railway officials and em-

;loyes should be that while the cars
nay be e iuipped with the best fenders
irozural‘le, they should also be so
iperated as to make the use of the
lender cl necessary.

1 SPRING NEEDS...
WHAT EVERYBODY-REQUIRE AT
THIS SEASON.

Some filings are toil the Utmoét
_ Importance to Tau.

This Will Tell You just What You

Most Need Now and How
to Get It.- '

 

In the spring changes always take
place in our systems which require at-
tention. There is a tired, languid feel-
‘ing, a depression, the digestiveorgans
become deranged, the blood is bad,
causing the complexion to become
affected and the person feels an inabili-
ty to work. _ .

At such time a spring medicine is
absolutely necessary. It will overcome
all these conditions. It will invigorate
the blood, regulate the digestive or-
gans, clear the complexion and make
you feel strong and well. _

Read what Mrs. W. H. Smith, 'Of 74
Sutton street, Providence, R. I., has to
say. ‘. _

“I was taken sick .five years ago With
the grippe. It left my whole system
and especially my nerves in a terribl
weak condition. I was dreadfully ncr
vous, and lost almost complete control
of myself. Iwas all discouraged and
did not know what I should do.

My limbs were swollen, my feet ached
and I had pains all overfmy body. cI
got scarcely any sleep, and what little
I did get did me no good. I took many
remedies but without benefit. Finally
hearing Dr. Green’s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy highly recommend-
ed, I determined to use it. - .

After taking one bottle I was almost
entirely cured of all my troubles. - My
nerves were strong, and the pains left
me, the swelling disappeared,“and I
could sleep well. Thanks to this won-
derful medicine I am cured. I wish
every sufferer might use it.”

The reason why you should take Dr.
Greene’s N ervura blood and nerve rem—
edy is, because it is the surest and
quickest medicine in its action known.
It positively and permanently cures all
forms of nervous weakness and ex-
haustion, invigoratas the blood, and
gives health and strength. Take it
now, for Dr. Greene’s Neivura blood
and nerve remedy willdo more for you
than any other remedy. It; is the best
spring medicine known. -' ,

Itis nota patent medicine but the
prescription of the most , specessful
living specialist in curing‘nervous and
chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35
West 14th St,, New York City. He
has the largest practice in the world,
and this grand medical discovery is the
result of his vast experience. The
great reputation of Dr. Greene is a
guarantee that his medicine will cure,
and the fact that he can be consulted
by anyone, at any time, free of charge,
personally or by letter, gives absolute
assurance of the beneficial action of
this wonderful medicine.

. HOlman’.S.Advlce.

'Mr. Holman, the great objector; says
at'the close of thirty-five years of ex-
perience in Congress, “I would not
advise any young man to enter public
life.” But the young men will, never-
theless. The young men will argue
about public life as the young woman
did about marriage. One who had
married and “seen the folly of it,”
advised her not to marry; but the young
woman “wanted to see the folly of it”
herself and she married. .

Young men will go into public life,
despite the fact that so many old men
have found it made up of illusions and
disappointments, and this sanguine
courage is a lucky provision of nature.
both as to theman and the ’woman.
Bad as we sometimes deem our legis:
lators and Congress we should hardly
know how to get on Wiih the machinery
of the State, if all” the young men
follow fiolman’s advice, and keep out
of public life.

 

«.H-———
No Legal Significance.

Now that it is all over, we don’t mind
telling the Norwalk girls who were in-
dignant or jealous .over Miss Gould
marrying a title, that in France no title
of nobility has any legal significance.

Up tithe time of the Erench Revo-
lution any title in France implied
special rank and privilege, but all that
was changed by law. ‘ Today a private
citizen’s only legal designation is his
time. The descendants of the nobles
hand down their family titles'with their
family bric-a-brac, but the. various
designations are vhluable principally
on visiting cards. Noblemen whose
rank is ofi‘icially recognized in their
own countries ext-t in England ' and
most continental nations, but France is
a republic and a title there means ex-

ctly as'much as Esq. in Norwh'lk, or
“Colonel" in Washington. ' '

WASHINGTON, March 8.——When the dis-
patch conccrning a meeting at “Juarez,

United States, was shown to Minister RO-

statement: - .
“Under .the Mexican constitution and
laws the Mexican states have no power~ to

of the Mexican citizens of, Juarez, who,
it is claimed, held a meeting yesterday at

RAH Fatigue BOYS.

ASYSTEM OF MILITARY INSTRUC-
. ‘ TION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. .

Details of: Equipment and Methods Pro-
parcd at the Instances of the G. A. B.

and Committees-- of Public School

Teachers.

Having got the American flag raised
over . nearly every schoolhouse in this
country, the G. A. R. is at work with en-
thusiasm and determination to build up
beneath those flags something which
shall sustain them in all ‘st-ress, under all
circumstances, and against all opposi-
tion. They propose to create this sus-
taining force through military instruc-
tion in the schools.

At the last annual encampment of the
Grand Army held in Pittsburg, the ques-
tion of military instruction in the publlc
schools was discussed, and Gen. George
\V. Wingate was appointed a “special
aide to the Commander-in-chief in charge
of military instruction in schools.” At
the request of several committees repre-
sentin g teachers in different cities- he has
prepared some suggestions as to the

method to be persued. It would be best,-

he thinks, for the principals to devise a
system. _
If a. plan has been decided upon, Gener‘
al Wiugate says, the boys should be
carel‘ull y measured in order to establish
tne extent of their physical improvement.
The instruction should consist of: ,
. The setting-up drill, facing and salutes
Imirching by squads, manual of arms,
regular drill by company and battalion.
All scholars, including girls,,sliould be
urilled iii the first three for fifteen min.
utes each day. Care should be taken by
the teachers to see that the movements
are performed with Slllul‘hlless and exact-
ly as prescribed. Their value, both pliy~
sical and mental, consists largely in soup
and precision. Every boy should be re-
quired to salute all teachers whenever
meeting or addressing them, and the
teachers should be equally careful to re»

turn the salutes. This teaches"”self—
respect and subordination to lawful
authority.

Boys over 11, and who are at least 4 ft.
6 ins. tail, and Whose parents do not ob-
ject, should be drilled regularly in the
manual of arms and by company and bat—
tallion two hours a week, outside school
hours, great care being taken not to over—
tax the strength of the boys.

The drill should be regarded as a privi-
lege. Faults should be punished by the
deprivation of certain insignia, which
may be adopted by the school, and a. loss
of membership in the battalion for a.
month. Discipline should be quiet but
firm. Everything possible should be
done to inculcate a. military bearing,
which involves an upright carriage, neat-
ness in dress, attention, silence, and the
utmost promptness in rendering strict
obedience to all orders, whether from the
instructors or the _ cadet Officers. It
should also be impressed upon the boys
that absolute truthfulness, a high regard
for personal honor, and an aversionto
anything dishonest or tyrannical are ex-
pected of the citizen soldier—that they
must be soldiers and gentlemen.

The boys should be divided into com-
panies not exceeding forty or fifty Strong
as'a larger number is difficult to handle.
Each should have the usual numbcii'of

officers and non-commissioned cfi‘iééi's.‘

The officers and non-commissioned officers
of the companies and battalions should
be selected from the boys showing good
scholarship combined with proficiency
in military matters, and manly bearings
and characteristics. Warrants should be
given to them by the Board of Education
at the close of their term of service.
A school for officers should be cstab<
lished.

Li time the officers can put the battalion
through the drill, but at the beginning
an instructor is necessary. Properly
there should be paid instructors who will
devote their time tothe matter. One of
these can look after about six schools. It
is hoped that the services of army Officers
can be soon had for this purpose in large
cities. If the drills can be had in the
morning or in the evening, it will be easy
to procure sufficient volunteer instructors
from the National Guard.

The question of uniforms should be
left to each school. A cap alone is suffi-
cient to begin with, and costs but little.
In most cases it will be found that a plain
uniform costs no more than ordinary
clothes, and lasts longer, as the boys take
better care of it. Ordinarily a cap, and
blouse will be sufficient, which may be
worn byThe boys at all times. A white
webbing waist belt and plate adds very
materially to the soldierly appearance
where a dark blue blouse is used, and is
inexpensive.
officers should be provided by the au-
thorities and belong to the school. The
uniforms used in Brooklyn Grammar
School No. 15 cost $6, and the cap 50 cents
additional.

Under our system of government. we
will never have a large standing army,
and our strength and safety are in a. gen-
eral dissemination of military knowledge
and training among the people. that
the man and citizen ought to know in
order to the full discharge of his duty to
his country should be imparted to the
boy. Nothing will so much aid to en-
large our State militia, and to give it
efficiency and character, as the plan pro-
posed. The military taste and training
acquired in the school will carry our best
young men into the militia organiza.
tions, and make those organizations rc-
liable conservators of public order, and
ready and competent defenders of the
national honor.”

of each of the local papers with one item
clipped out, and when she wrote to find
out what it was he had clipped from the
papers he refused to tell her.- The scheme
worked admirably. . In less than a week

THE Alltlfll slim.

Mr. Walker’s Cutter Outsailed the .

Prince of Wales’ Britannia.

MAY BE 0UP CHALLENGER

the Performance of the New Yacht Is All
the More Remarkable Because of
the Fact That Her Sails Were
Not Properly Stretched. .

CANNES, France, March 8.—'-Under the
influence of bright sunshine and a light,
warm breeze the Britannia, Ailsa, and Cor-
sair started in a race of the greatest inter-
est to all yachtsmen, for it enabled them
to form an idea. of the ability of the new
cutter which may race at New York for
the America’s cup. The light Wind at the
start had a depressing effect upon the
crowds of sightseers ashore, but as the day
wore on there was a. fair southerly breeze.
The Corsair got the best of the start with
the Allsa, the last of the three, and even
her warmest admirers were obliged to con-
fess that the cutter did not sail as well as
expected in the first bouts.

The match was for several prizes to be
paid in cash.‘ The course was triangular,
three times around and 30 miles long,
Union des Yachts Francois measurement,
with time allowances.

In maneuvering for the start in the
faintest of southeast airs the Britannia got
on the weather beam of Ailsa, and the
two big yachts, while watching each other,
allowed the Corsair: to slip over the line
ahead.
barely steerage way on crossing the line.
The time at the start was as follows:

 

H. M. s.
Corsair .................................. 10 W 05
Britannia ........................... :10, 04 45
Ailsa .................................... L0 06 00

All three yachts had their club'topsails
set, and it was remarked that the Ailsa
looked very well under her big spread of
canvas. Her mainsail looked enormoue,
and it was judged that she would go very
fast, in a. reaching Wind.

Britannia Leading.

The preliminary maneuvers were grace-

ful and smart upon the part of all three .

yachts. W. Fife, J r., the designer of Allen,
and Ratscy, the famous English sailmak-
or, were on board the new cutter, which.
it is now stated, allows Britannia only 1
minute 12 seconds, instead of 2 minutes,
as announced yesterday. The scene at the
start was very beautiful. The day was
perfect for yachting, except as to the
wind, and that began to strengthen soon
after the start. Soon after the yachts
started a fleet of nine French warships ap-
peared in the roadstead, adding consider-
ably to the maritime attractions of the
day. There was also the beautiful fidet of
steam yachts, flying the flags of almost ev-
ery great nation.

The first leg of the course was a beat to
windward to a. markboat off. St. Honorat,
and Ailsa did very well. Ailsa made a.
long board on her way to the first mark,
but it seemed as if Britannia was going
faster. Mr. Walker’s cutter had done well
up to this point, but not so well as her ad-
mirers hoped. How'ever, Britannia had
the best of the breeze, and both the big
cutters headed aWay from Corsair. It was
a long beat to the first mark, six boards
being made before the buoy was weathered.
The time was as follows: .

H. M. s.
Britannia ............ . .................. 11 15 (I)
Ailsa .................. . ................ 11 16 20

It was a. free reach across to the west

mark, buoy No. 2, moored a. good distance

to the northward of Pointc dc l’Esquillon,
off a small point of land which forms the
inclosure of Napoula bay. Both yachts set
their balloon staysails, and Britannia
spread a. big jib topsoil. Both yachts came
home at a good ratcon a broad reach to-
ward Cannes. The first round was finished
as follows:

II. M. S.
Britannia ...... -. ........................ 11 56 00
Ailsa .................................... 11 57 13
Corsair .................................. 12 10 50

After finishing this round the yachts
found a. pleasant working breeze with
which to claw to windward for the first
mark, off St. Honorat, on the second
round.

The Alisa Gaining.

Britannia and Ailsa worked up to the
first mark, on the second round, in two
long and two short boards, and it was no-
ticed that Ailsa went to windward smart-

ly, and that she was showing up better,
The time of‘

and better as time passed.
weathering the first mark, off St. Hon-
orat, on the second round, was:

H. M. s.
Britannia. ............... ........... 12 27 15
Allen .............................. 4.....12 27 48

It will th or; be seen that Britannia had
lost considerably in this log. Ailsa. had
cut Britannia’s lead down to 33 seconds
in the beat to the St. Honorat mark. This
was quite a point in favor of Ailsa, as
Britannia is known to be a fast boat at
working up in the wind.

The next leg was a. smart reach about
two points free, and the second markboat
was rounded as follows: '

II. M. s.
Britannia .............................. 12 49 48
Ailsa ........................... ’..'..' ..... 12 50 45

Britannia had a little the better of this
leg, but Ailsa was clinging to the Prince
of Wales’ cutter in gallant style and spurt-
ing now and then as if her skipper was
trying her speed in different ways.

The second round was concluded as fol-
lows: -

H. M. s.
Britannia ............................... 1 10 28
A1153. .................................... 1 11 04

”The time ‘at Aiguillo point, on the third
round, was:

H. M. s.
Ailsa. 2 01 08
Britannia...............l........... 2 02 04

The time at the finish was:

' H. M. S.
Allen .................................... 2 21 32
Britannia ....... ' ..... ‘. .................. 2 24 08

Consequently Ailsa won by 2 minutes
36 seconds actual time. But Ailsa allows

Britannia 1 minute 12 seconds, and there

fore the new cutter only wins by 1 minute
24 seconds corrected time.

The Ailsa’s performance is considered
all the more remarkable in view of the
fact that her sails were stiff, not having
yet had an opportunity to be stretched.
The yachts will probably meet again next
week.
