be 1 a DELAWARE GAZETTE AND STATE MINGION, DELAWARE, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1895. Frank W. Patterson, who has been appointed postmaster at the Highlands, will assume control of the office on July 1st, when it will be removed from the store of the present postmaster, William H. Haley, ou Eighteenth street west of Woodland avenue, to Mr. Patterson's store on Woodland avenue between Seventeeth Eighteenth streets.
8 Mr. Patterson is Democrat. He made application for the office early in April of this year, and received pointment on the 19th of April. On May Sist he qualified, bonded took the required oath, but he did not receive his commission nutil the 7th of this month, it having been signed on the 6th by F. H.
Jones, acting Postmastergeneral. Saturday week Messrs. Patterson and Haley conferred, the former telling the latter of the appointment. As yet Mr. Haley has received no notification from the government of the appointment of his successor, and the only actual knowledge he has of the change is what Mr.
Patterson has told him. However, upon being shown the commission, Mr. Haley will turn the affairs of the office over to the new appointee on July 1st, the quarter ending June 30th. This will enable Mr. Patterson to begin on new quarter with matters all cleared up.
The office is run on commission, the salary depending on the cancellation. Mr. Patterson's commission came from the office of the fourth assistant postmaster-general, and the appointment Was secured through recommendations of prominent people livIn the vicinity of Mr. Pattersoul's store. The appointment is for an indefinite period, and like all fourth -class commissions, reads 113 follows: to hold said office of postmaster, with all the powers, privileges and emoluments to the same belonging, during the pleasure of the Postmaster of the United State." Mr.
Haley was serving under a similar commission, which was issued on June 6th, 1989, just six years previous to the date of Mr. Patterson's appointment. Mr. Patterson's commission was accompanied by a letter informing him that he could either take possession of the office at once or could arrange for the transfer with the present incumbent and the result was that it was decided to wait until the latter had served out the quarter. The people of the Highlands speak very well of Mr.
Haley's conduct of the office. He was courteous and obliging and frequently delivered the mail when it was convenient to do so. He relinquishes the postmastership with a good record. He was the first postmaster the Highlands ever had, the mail for residents of that locality being left at pus points in and near the The place built up SO much it was eemed expedient to make a postal staion and Mr. Haley was selected to take Marge of it.
Notwithstanding that he is Republican he has served for some me under a Democratic administration. This new appointment is practically acknowledgment that the Highlands separate jurisdiction from the city, the residents of that section are not st stied. They want free delivery and petition the postal authorities to exend it to them. ex aided to the Highlands delivery, disthe event of free being trio put under the jurisdiction of the Winington office, the new office will be plished, but there is a possibility that a sub-station may be established. If sud does transpire Col.
Moore, the Wilmington postmaster, would in all probability have something to say in the appointment of a man to take charge of it, it in the present case he had no connecion whatever with the appointment thi appointee. A short t.me ago Col. Moore informed a repoter of THE GAZETTE that the Highlands district would not be brought under his jurisdiction in any way for a time, ani he was of the opinion that there vould be no change whatever until the people asked for it. the posul althorities at Washington would enough alone. But aspoonas the Highlands people became Wilmingtonians they wanted the same privilege as the balance of the population, ant a resident of Eighteenth street tolda reporter of THE GAZETTE Friday that now they were going to make a formal tequest for free delivery.

needlework is. THE RIGHT BOOK. Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal NEW YORK, June the outlook on bricks and mortar in the city, it was delightful to sit on the veranda and rest one's eyes by gazing at the long, sloping, green lawn that seemed to bury itself 111 the blue waters of the ocean. It was an ideal country house. And we women were harmonious, so that the summer days passed pleasantly and nights, which brought the men, were gay and joyous.
Our hostess was never idle, and it WAS most. interesting to watch the slender, white fingers that controlled the ivory needle as it flashed in and out among the red wool. She always worked in red wool. It gave a beautiful spot of color. and formed a fine background for her hands, of which she was very proud.
I don't know what she made. Something either to be worn by, or sold for, the poor, but her industry was always picturesque. All of us were busy there on the veranda. because nowadays it is vulgar not to know how to sew. The more fashionable woman is the better needlewoman is she, for at the very smart schools girls are invariably made mistresses of the workbasket, even if they are shy on Greek and Euclid.
What a lot of unhappiness has been worked out at the point of a needle! How much nervousness has been quieted by its monotonous, but attractive, method of working, and how curiously feminine Somebody said--I think it was the girl from Boston- that she found it very diflicult to get a good book nowadays. The very busy woman nodded in sympathy. and one woman dropped her work in her lap and said: you know the reason why? It is because a few years ago number of good books were written, and. then their creators grew ambitious and wrote beyond themselves. There is Zangwill -his sketches of Jewish life were lascinating, but did he stick to what he understood and could do well? Oh, dear, no.
Instead of those clever Jewish character sketches he writes an over-long book about art and the Acadians, with which everybody is bored. Look at Jerome Jerome -we loved his Three Men, we adored Montmorency, we lived in that Bout, we thought out his Idle Thoughts with that dearest of Idle Fellows, but nowadays he says he wants to do better work, which means that he wants to go over the heads of his readers and beyond himself. That instead of sticking to his last he wants to paint realistic pictures. You don't like the comparison of a writer with a shoemaker? Well, if you wore an uncomfortable shoe you would never appreciate an interesting book. Mr.
Staniey Weyman's first stories bore a comparison with Dumas', and lost nothing, but the greedy publisher called for more, and he takes his old characters and puts other clothes oll them and presents them to the public to make their bow, but alas! they are too old to stand the weight of the new robes and they topple over. That is the trouble. As soon 89 a man makes a success with a book, he grows scornful of the ladder which helped him over the chasm that lay between obscurity and fame. It is the same way with magazines. One gets a prospectus that says that the ideal journal is about to appear.
The first number is all your fancy painted it, full of delightful short stories, rich with pictures and having one or two serious articles to leaven the rest. And eagerly you subscribe. In the next number there is one short story and two serials started, only a few pictures and five heavy articles, and you wish that magazine had never been born. I like pictures in a magazine. By-the-by there is magazine that is devoted to pictures, and in which every woman is hoping to get.

One of the later numbers had a charming picture of Mrs. Burke- Roche in, and another, a beautiful one of Melba. and my dear, they have some new process by which they turn out photographs for this, not by the dozen pictures, not by the yard, but by the mile!

Then she stopped for a second to breathe, and while she was doing this a wirl who was working in Berlin wool and wore a thimble with a band of turquoises about it asked you ever collect newspaper clippings? Well, I have been doing it for a long while and a man who is suppose to know everything said that the wisest method was to put them in envelopes and after the envelopes were all full, then to make a lot of books at a time. I followed his advice, and the result is that I have envelopes full of scraps, and yesterday thought I would look up all that I could about precious stones. The first ten scraps had nothing historical, excepting in regard to the tomato where it first grew. Thenext twenty were given over to the history of the tear bottle, and the next thirty on how to get a good complexion and how to keep it.

A REMINDER OF LIFE IN INDIA. At this time we all stopped talking. for our hostess following an English fashion, had ordered brought out to us a glass of cool ginger ale. This drink is getting very popalar, and although it is usually taken alone, occasionally claret offered with it. Ginger ale, to the American mind, has always been more or less suggestive of the various root heers; 50 nobody knows whether it is being taken because it is the fashion.
or because it is a healthy drink. However, one may 415 well drift into slang about it. and announce that it not only goes, but permeates, It is a pretty -looking drink, and in the tall soda glasses, with a lot of cracked ice, suggests English life in India, and makes one feel very smart. When everybody's thirst was allayed. a girl announced that she was going to read something.
At first everybody objected, but when she said it was the history of the origin of rice throwing at weddings, everybody agreed to listen, for everybody, that is, every woman body, loves anything conneeted with a wedding. This was what she read: "Fifteen hundred vears before Christ there lived in Shansi a most famous and devilish sorcerer whose name was Chao. One day a Oinnese gentleman, a Mr. came to consult him. and Chao, not feehng well that dav, brought in a lively tortoise to assist him, and learned that Mr.
Pang. notwithstanding his long queue ital his satin robe, would only live six days longer. This was sad news to the noble Pang, but he hoped. He sought out a lady sorcerer, not quite so devilish. rejoicing in the name of Peach Blossom.
and to her he told his sad tale. She consulted the stars. They told the same story, but she brought her sorcery to bear upon them, and behold his days were made longer. on the evening of the seventh day Mr. l'aug took it little walk and met the devilish Chao, who was greatly mortitied to find that he was alive, and more angry still to discover that the fair Peach Blossom knew more sorcery than he did.
So he plotted against her. AN ORIESTAL ROMANCE. "The wily Chao sent a messenger to her parents to ask 11 site were still unmarried. They said she was. He then announced that he had a son who would like to wed her.
He fooled them so that the wedding cards were out atid the time set. lie selected the most unlucky day in the year. when if the fair Peach Blossom ascended the red chair, proper for a bride, a wicked bird would destroy her with his powerful beak. By-the-by, I beg to say. that this is not the Dinkey Bird spoken of by Eugene Field as singing 111 the Amphalula tree.
But the fair Peach Blossont said, very properly, lo-ho, No not fear this wily man. I will go und out-trick when the wedding morning came. she ordered that all the servants and all her friends should throw rice as they walked ahead of her, for she knew that the wicked bird, being greedy, would stop to eat the rice, and so be never saw Peach Blossom pass, because he was afraid he would miss a single grain. When she arrived at Chao's house, however, there was no bridegroom; but a maid was as. signed to her, and the two girls entered a beautiful room, where there was a bed of gold dressed in satin and lace, and 111- tended for the lovely Peach Blosson.
But she knew that in the night the wicked bird would come again, and so she said to the maid, then to bed And the maid obeyed her and went to sleep. And all night long Peach Blossom walked the floor, and the wicked bird came, and, thinking the sleeping maid was Peach Blossom, gobbled her up. When the first rays of the sun appeared Peach Blossom ited the house, and was anct by her own true lover. Mr. Pate.
and they were wed oh a lucky day. Bor in memory of the past. rice was strewed before the bride, and all the good birds ate of it. And the wicked sorcerer was killed and quartered and drawn, and everything else that WAS dreadful done to hum, and Mr. and Mrs.
Pang lived happy ever after. And tor all know. may be ny still, for nothing is impossible in China. Saturally, we all laughed at this, and somebody sail it was quite time to go up stairs and cake a tsp, and somebody else said, Yes, it was a good idea to treshen up a little before the met came." And some body else said. a boon men And everybody nodded affirmatively, and when I say everybody Libelnde BAR.

Very sincerely yours, Jons M. WHITFORD, Not many of our citizens know anything about the Ferris ledustrial School.
Situated within four miles of this city, few people have visited it, and are not aware of the good work being done there. Within the last few years it has grown from insigniticant numbers to quite a population, and the 64 boys with their instruciors makes a settlement of itself. Manual training has been introduced within the last year and has added much to the efficiency of the school and has proved an aid toward greater interest 10 all branches of education. The "band" is another new feature, and although the boys have only been under instruction for the last two mouths, they have made rapid progress, and their pleasure, application and interest in the work, must be a gratification to those who have made it possible to have this attraction added to the school. la the early spring, before leaving this city, Col.
Hobert Mitchell Floyd presented the school with a handsome flag and the bovs have now gotten out and prepared a Hag pole and propose to have their flag raising on Saturday afternoon, the 49th of June, at 4 o'clock, with appropriate ceremonies. They will be zlad of visitors on that occasion, for boys as well as men like appreciation and sympathy in what interests them, aud to further their desires the managers have arranged that hacks can be furnished for a reasonable sum to those who will send their names by Thur-day, the 47th, to the chairman of the executive committee, Alfred Gawthrop, 102 West Fourth street, who will publish the time and place of starting.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal ELETON, June 21. -Horace Cooper, colored, who murdered Maggie Pitts, colored, his mistress, in November last at Port Deposit because of jealousy, was hanged for the crime in the yard this afternoon. An appeal had been made to the Governor for a short respite, and Cooper's friends thought to the last this effort would of some avail. Cooper, however, was hopeless. He was also nervous and unable to eat or sleep, and spent his time with the Bible.

CLEVELAND, June was after 2 o'clock this morning when the sub-committee on resolutions of the National League of Itepublican Clubs, which had been in secret session at the Hollenden, adjourned. Mr.
Black well of Massachusetts presented a resolution, inclining very strongly toward the gold standard, and numerous other resolutions expressing all sorts of views on the money question followed in quick succession. It was soon evident that there were only two real bimetallists in the committee, Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. C. E. Allen of Utah.
They fought like tigers for free coinage, making vigorous speeches, which were listened to with close attention. They spoke for free coinage at 16 to 1. without waiting for the co-operation of any other nation. As the discussion progressed, a tendency became manifest to dodge the entire ques. tion by declining to adopt.
resolutions of any kind. A resolution was offered, declaring that it is not the duty of the League to adopt a platform for the Republican party, as that important action should be left to the national convention which nominates Presidential and Vice-prosidential candidates. Messrs. Dubois and Allen vigorously opposed this resolution. holding that it was the duty of the League to declare its principles.
The gold men spoke in favor of the resolution, and the vote was 9 to 2 in its favor. TRYING FOR A COMPROMISE. The sub-committee resumed its session early after breakfast. The proposition of the anti-free coinage men was modified into an address that would prevent the silver men from preparing and offering a minority report. Senators Dubois and Allen of Utah had to be satisfied to prevent two reports going to the full committee.
The sub committee appointed Dr. Robinson of New York, Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. Harkness of Missouri, a committee to revise the address. The sub-committee revision committee reported to the at 10 a. to-day, and the discussion on the silver issue was resumed.
The sub-committee however, announced that it would report to the full committee at 2 p. when it was thought that all differences would be adjusted in the committee room so as to prevent two reports' being made to the committee and any fight being precipitated on the floor. Meantime the silver men of the West called a conference for. 12 o'clock, when Senator Dubois and Allen will report to them, and it will be decided by the silver men whether they will agree to the compromise address to the people instead of the regular set of resolutions. The League of Republican Clubs, in session in Cleveland, Thursday elected Adjutant-General E.
A. pin president. CLEVELAND, June third and closing day's session of the National League of Republican Clubs found the delegates harmonious and weary. The silver agitation had been at white beat all week. but the unanimous action of the committee on resolutions last night to report no resolutions had ended the contest in a surprising draw.
It was known to all that both sides, 94 far as members of the committee were concerned, had agreed to suport the Patton substitute for all resolutions or the pro posed "address to the people." While ext hausting all other means to prevent the sitver men from offering a minority report and carrying the tight into the convention, it was found to be unconstitutional for the National League of Republican Clubs to make any declaration of principles that would affect the party, and the Patton substitute for ail such resolutions was agreed upon as a way out of the dilemma. While many were dissatisfied, both with the plan to ignore the silver question and also with the substitute, which ignored all questions in order to ignore silver, vet it was generally understood that it would be out of order to say anything or do anything that would reopen the old agitatiou. It was therefore settled that the report of the committee on resolutions was to be adopted without debate and the contest was limited to the selection of a secretary to succeed A. B. Humphrey.
Several names had been presented before the convention adjourned last night for that office and the morning hours were consumed in listening to their respective claims and in attending to other routine matters. ANTI-SILVERITES NOW AT ODDS. The third day's session was delayed until almost noon by the meeting of oflicers of State Leagues, the new executive board, the committee on league work and other organizations engaged in routine business. Meantime while the band was entertaining the waiting crowd at Music Hall, the leading anti-silver men were in conference on the Patton substitute for the usual set of resolutions, Many anti-silver lenders who were not members of the much-abused committee on resolutions were not inclined bound by the compact which the committee had entered to in order to extricate itself, No one however, was able to suggest any plan that would prevent a minority report and the precipitating of a light on the floor of convention. The anti-silver men of the committee insisted that they had made the best possible stand choice of two evils and urged delegates to by the Patton substitute rather than bring about a worse result than its adoption.
SILVER MEN ON THE ALERT. The silver leaders went about telling all their supporters to keep quiet in the convention and let the anti-silver men fight it out among themselves, if the silver tion was reopened on the floor of the convention by an effort to adopt any resolutions or otherwise. the was Mete: Paving ON 18 bricks.
