AND now that the money is to be
placed at their disposal, we hope to
see speedy results from the Park
Commissioners. The mere possession
of the bleak, bare sites, will give the
people little satisfaction, and will do
property little good. We hope the
commissioners will hasten the adorn-
ment of at least n or two of the
parks so that the people may see at
once that they are getting some value
for their money.

Typewriters' Eyes.

Almost every typewriter sooner or
later has trouble with her eyes, says
the Globe-Democrat. The typewrit-
ing machine is supposed to save the
eyes, but the effect is quite the con
trary. The eyes are all the time in
motion while writing, and the rapid
jerking of the eye from one point to
another on the little keyboard soon
tires the muscles and makes the eyes
and sometimes the whole head aches.
Then a great many girls have the
habit of turning up the carriage to
see what has been written and lean
ing back in the chair while reading it.
This, too, is bad, for the reason that
it requires a rapid adjustment of the
eye to the different distances, and so
tin es the whole organ.
The only way to save the eyes when
using a typewriter machine is to ac-
quire such facility that is not neces-
sary to look at the keyboard, and the
eyes will be saved the thousands of
little jerks to and fro which do so
much harm.

interesting entertainment to a good sized
audience last night at the church. The
programme was q varied one, consisting
of Instrumental and vocal music, recita-

Half Aware of Their Folly.
A group of women standing about
the doorway of a Broad street store
on Thursday attracted the attention
of passers-by. Occasionally one or
two were noticed to cast quick glances
up and down the street and then dart
in at the doorway, as though afraid OF
being caughtin the act. lnvestiga-
ton brought to light the fact that a
celebrated complexion beautifier was
holding court within. The door was
opened by a young woman
with the most beautiful COM
plexion in the world as
advertised, and really to n
unaccustomed to such dazzling beauty
the effect was startling, to say the
least. The crowded parlors gave
proof that there are lots of women in
Newark who are anxious to be beau
tiful, quite regardless of the fact that,
to be so, one must be born that way.
The treatment was advertised as free,
and consisted Of massage, steaming
the face, and a liberal supply of cream
and powder laid on afterward to per-
feet the art. The dazzling creature
who ushered in the guests-wh en-
Madame" sat enthroned and enter
tained-stood with her back
against the door most of the time,
staring at nothing in particular, while
Madame directed ones attention to
the beautiful complexion. the far
owner of which grasped each n las
they tried to leave the room and
queried in decidedly rough tones,
Say, amt you going to take the
treatments?n which meant the pur-
chase of the entire identifying outfit
as compensation for Madame's SER
vices. Only twelve dollars to be made
beautiful. One wonders how many
of those same dollars the clever woman
will gather in Newark, trading on
the vanity of her OWE sex. -NeDdrk

The local EIections.

We give today the results of the
township elections Of Tuesday in
various parts of the State. The re-
turns show that the independent ele-
ment played a very conspicuous part
in the results. There are half a
dozen towns in all directions where
we find the "Citizens' ticket coming
out ahead. For the rest, the Demo-
Gratis seem to have won in the Demo-
cratic towns and the Republi-
cans in the Republican ones,
though we observe with pleasure that
in Atlantic City the Democracy scores
a victory for the first time in ten
years. The Republican success in
Camden is not surprising. The place
tends that way, and if there had been
any chance, it would have been lost
through the discussions in the Demo
cratic ranks.
In Mercer county, the Freebooter
elections went against the Republican
party. The State Gazette feebly tries
this morning to account for the result
on local grounds. OF course this is
more eonsoling than the cold hard
fact that the Republican party is los
ing all grip on the State.
Nevertheless sucn seems to be the
real fact. There is not one instance
OF reaction from the great Democratic
victory OF November. Where the Re-
publicans win, it is in their immemor-
ial strongholds. and so far as these
petty contests prove anything, they
show that, if the people have not
gone clean over to the Democracy
they have at least departed forever
from the Republican fold.

Dressmakers of the Fnture.


Dressmaking is a noble art, says
Mrs. Anne Jenness Miller in The La
dies Home Journal. In the purity of
its ideas it is atype of the highest cul-
ture. Ladies should go into it, for it
requires the aesthetic instinct and the
educated taste, and these belong only
to the higher and more refined tenn
permanent. The most beautiful dress
we have ever had has been the Greek
dress, and, in some periods, the
Roman; that is, according to real art.
But such dress is not available for our
climate, with its abrupt transitions
from heat to cold, nor for our business
vacations and conventional usages.
The artist or dressinaker of the future
must study the laws governing dress
as it was in those days, and at the
same time take into consideration
adaptations to climate and social con-
ditions.
Woman. particularly when she is
beautiful. is the most attractive being
in the world, and ore pains should
be taken to drape and dress her than
with almost any other branch of art.
/ do not think that dressmaking has
ever revealed the aesthetic beauty that
is possible. We have had style and
fashion. but We have never had what
| regard as the highest forms of art in
dress, and we never a have until
such a time as it is regarded as a fine
art, instead of now as a trade, and
until the time shall come when women
or men, who are dressmakers, shall be
treated with the same consideration,
socially or otherwise, as we today
treat a painter or sculptor.

ABOSs C4RPENTER INJURED.
Hurt by the Fall of II Huge Girder at the
New Equitable Building.

An accident occurred on the top OF
the new Equitable Building at Ninth and
Market streets at noon Thursday, to Will
liam ID. Haddock, boss carpenter for G.
|. Swayne, the contractor having the
work in charge. Several men were en-
gagged in hosting large wooden girder,
weighing half ton or more, to the top
Of the building, the motive power being
furnished by an upright engine on the
first floor. The derrick which was used
IN the hoistng of the girder allowed the
timber TO slip out Of its grasp and il
swung clear Of the topmost wall of the
building and then precipitated one end
of the heavy girder down upon an arch
Of the wall with terrific force, carrying
the entire arch away
Iladdock was standing near the arch
and when the crash came he, too, was
carried down with the girder, which
struck the arch of the large doorway
just under it, and there lodged. The
foreman was caught by the girder and
wedged in against the brick wall, in.
iuring his spine and inflicting injuries
TO the abdominal region which may
prove fatal. While the man is seriously
injured his death would have been in.

been dashed TO the bottom of the build.

Middietowr Transcript.
A rumor is afloat here to the effect
that Henry Hickman, the Levy Court
commissioner from Wilmington, is lay
ing snares for the capture of seat In
the Levy Court, AS it will be under the
provisions of the new law. Mr.. Hick-
man has been heard to say that he ex-
poets to be nominated and elected from
the Second district, the southern por-
ton of the city of Wilmington. As this
willy politician lives in the Northern dis
trict of Wilmington, it is strange that
he contemplates such a move, but he has
said, so IL is reported, that he will be
nominated and elected in the Second
district, while still residing in the First,
which is Republican. He will move
over in time to qualify himself. For
downright impudence this exceeds any
thing Mr., Hickman has yet undertaken,
and will result in the defeat of the
ticket of which he may form part
Mr.. Hickman has been accused Of many
evil deeds, but the charges have been OF
such character that little attention
was paid to them. Mr.. Hickman is also
credited with desire and a deter
mination to preside over the delibera-
tons Of the new body, in fact he has
expressed the determination openly.
The majority by which he was elected
was SO small that one would suppose he
would feel shy of another tilt with the
voters, but it may be set down as fact
that he intends to try it. The Northern
district of Wilmington is strongly Re-
publican and so is the Third district,
composing the northern hundreds of the
county; the New Castle district is close,
with the chances in favor Of the Repub-
licans if the conditions change at all, so
that with Hickman defeated in the
Second district, the Democrats would
probably have only one representative
in the commission. When Mr.. Hickman
has finished his career in Wilmington,
the people of the Fifth district will
have TO look out for themselves or he
may move down here. Hickman is alse
credited with strong desire to be in
the court when the new Brandywine
bridge is built and his contemplated re-
moval from one district to another is
evidence of his anxiety on this point
There Is no necessity for a new bridge
50 far as the people are concerned, but
the building of such bridge would
give good picking for a few politician!
and one or two land owners over Tie
Brandywine.
