Captain N. n. VanSioklen, on behalf OF
the Chicago Cycling Club, has accepted
the terms proposed by Captain 3. Wallis
HerEihew OF the Wilmington Wheel Club,
agreeing to race at any stipulated time
and place, excepting Memorial Day, May
30th. He also desires to make the race for
a distance of 25 miles. The Chicago men
do not desire to race on Msy both, be-
cause it is the date of their big road race
at Pullman, Ill. Captain Merrihew wrote
that If the race took place on any other
day his team would prefer to race so
miles.
The ice is now broken and il saiis.
factory arrangements can be made those
who are fortunate enough to witness it
will be enabled to see probably the great.
est race of the kind ever contested. The
Chicago men demonstrated last summer
that they were invincible on the track,
beating all of the crack riders Of the
east, while in the addition of Van
Wagner, who is probably the greatest
middle and long distance road rider in
the country to-day, the Wilmington olub
will have tower OF strength. It will be
great contest.

1tttlc BAmhge by Fire but Wuch by
Water.
The alarm of fire from boz No. 10, Fifth
and French streets, about 6.l5 O'Clock last
night week. IVES caused by fire in the
shoe store OF w. Il. Robinson, at 113 East
Fourth street. Mr. Robinson and family
at the time were visiting his parents in
the western part Of the city. The fire il
supposed to have caught from the fine,
and even before the alarm was struck the
Washington Fire Company was on the
scene, and by the prompt application of
stream OF water sooa extinguished the
flames The loss by Ere was trif ing, but
the damage by water was serious. Every
thing in the store, which MIR. Robinson
estimated contains between 81 500 and
IS. 900 Sotth Of gonds, is damaged. He has
insurance OF 52 500 in the Royel aud an
other company, Of which HaRtins " 90.
are agents, This will cover the loss.
There was considerable excitement dur
ing the progress of the FIRE SIS some of the
firemen got into heated arguments in con-
sequence Of which general fight was
only Gverted by the timely arrival OF the
police. Some OF the iremen insisted on
throwing more water on the fire nftsr the
FIRE was out and it was the efforts of
others to prevent the needless damage
that precipttstsd the dispute. II is such
incidents as these that will hRsten the ar
rival of O paid department.

A LIBRARY CATALOGUE.


For Young People Published by the
Institute Librarian.
The librarian at the Wilmington Insti-
tute Library, Mrs. NJ. A. Resag, has Just
published neat little 5O-psge pamphlet
for gratuitous circulation among the
library patrons. Il comprises catalogue
OF interesting books for young people
and their older friends. The list gives
the authors, and from this any one can
readily ascertain the books needed.
Mrs. ResRg says: "The librarian is
frequently asked to recommend interest
ing and profitable books for young peo-
Pile to read. These requests often come
from parents who do not have the op-
portunity of examining the books on the
shelves, or consulting the card catalogue.
The responsibility of deciding or choos-
ing from others is understood by the
librarian and these selections have been
made with care. That our readers and
patrons may have an opportunity of
selecting for themselves at home this
catalogue has been arranged. 1t does
not by any means include sll OF the books
OF the II ,0G0 on our shelves, nor does it
exhaust any ono subject. When any
book sought is not found in this cata-
logue, please consult the card catalogue
or ask the librarian for it. For con-
venienee, the books are arrsigned under
authors names, in each department.
The need of such library help is felt
almost daily by the adult rssder. Most
readers will remember what an advantage
it is to have list of the books OF a
fayorite author ready to hand. Such q
selection is advantageous also TO the
patron OF the library who calls simply
for good book knowing neither author
nor title. He is saved the wearisome
work of scrutinizing shelf after shelf for
the book he wants. w.

gone,
Take thy blissful rest,
Morn soon will wake thee from thy glad
repose.
Sleep in thy nest.
Sleep, gentle leaf, the winds are hushed
at last,
The dews are falling round,
Soon will the sunbeams wake thee from
thy couch,
Sweet rest be found.
Sleep, weary pillows, on great oceans
breast.
Linger awhile at peace.
Let the sad music of thy troubled heart
Find sweet surcease.
Sleep, ye mountains fair, and valley .

ALI nature calls for rest,
Prom toll and trouble, labor seeks repose
On earth o calm breast!
Sleep, for thy weary hour hath left thee
now,
Sad heart, till golden day:
So, sleep on, until the restful night
Has passed away!
