what We Are All Talking About.
The interesting story Of the Hamblin-
Bishop case. ia which a decision was
handed down on Tuesday last by Judge
Wales. was published in this paper ex
actly as written by Judge Wales. The
peculiar entanglements Of the case were
clearly explained, and the article was
without legal terms or phrases. Judge
Wales is an old newspaper man, and was
associated with John A. Allderdice in the
control of the old Delaware State Jour
nal, then the only organ Of the Wing
party in Delaware
A few days ago the Board of Health
received a local telegram on which we're
these words: Garbage hasn't been taken
away for two weeks.
The announcement Of the collapse OF
the Wilmington College of Music, will be
regretted by those who sympathize with
honest effort N Dushane Coward gave
TO the people of this city an opport unity
which will not likely occur again for
some time to come. The opportunity to
foster and keep an institution
for culture in music, was
not accepted, and the project failed. The
effort Mr. Cloward made was appreciated
by many and their sympathy will 60 out
to him in this cslemity. II was through
Mr.. Cloward's efforts that the old Choral
Club was so successful II was he who
objected to the management Of the Opera
House, as conducted by Proctor
n Snulier, and for that all
good citezens should thank him
Mr. Cloward as a manager as a singer
and and as a man. has made for himself
place In the hearts OF the people, and
his retirement from the field in which he
was engaged is recorded with regreE
The Bohemian Society, recently organized
by Mr., Cloward, will owe its life TO his
future movements.
The fact il well-known that all lodge
men have the grip, but it excites no
alarm.
The literary and musical societies Of
this city make mistake in their pro-
grams. The music portion Is too long,
the literary too short. This Is proof
that Wilmington people learn the
! luxuries before they know the necessi-
| ties OF languages. The committee on
program can get more pianists and vocal
| lists than good recitationists aud readers.
Too much music kills literary program
At an entertainment given in this city a
short time ago. the lengthy program
contained thirty-four musical selections,
both vocal aud instrumental, aud but six
purely literary selections. A change is
needed
Do you talk to yourselfg You don't.
How do you know you don'tg Stand in
some position where your friends cannot
see you and watch them when you are
alone. Seven out of ten will be observed
carrying on an animated conversation
with themselves. Maybe you do it your
self.
Little Nan. the daughter Of Will.
minEton manufacturer, was the star in a
little drama the other day, in which she
unconsciously displayed a great deal Of
human nature. She was at her fathers
Office, and young lady gave the little
miss two candy chickens. She was told
that one piece was for herself and that the
other was to be taken home 20 her baby
sister. Nan ate her own candy imme
diately and it was evident TO her friePd,
who was surreptitiously watching her
closely, that she very soon thereafter was
casting longing and covetous eyes
on the property she held in
trust for her absent baby sister. But,
like many older people she was unwilling
to do 50 selfish a thing without some
PLAUSIBLE excuse. She therefore, asked
the candy chicky, "Do you want the
other one2" and Of course received nc
answer Then she turned TO the lady
and said. "This chicky wants the other
one Her friend made no answer, and
the little woman settled matter satisfac
torily al around with the remark "Well
chicky, If you want the other one, you
win have to 60 to it, and down it went
for a social visit.
When Henry Stanley, colored, inter
ceder for votes was giving the Repub
lican committee away in the Police Cour
this morning, a smile appeared on thl
faces Of Mayor Harrington and Judg
Ball simultaneously. Even Chief Swig
