Ex-Mayor Calvin 3. Rhoatis will
leave this city in TOW days for Attain
ia, Ga. where he has, at the earnest
solicitation OF Bishop Becker, accept
ed the position of choir master at the
Church OF the immaculate Conception
in that city. This church Ia one of the
finest in the South, and the choir. is
composed of forty voices.
Mr.. Rhoads came to this city from
Reading Is years ago and since that
time has been one OIL the most promi-
nent figures in the musical circles of
Wilmington. As q teacher OF music
he stands unrivaled, having sent out
his pupils as teheheIs to various parts
of the country, At one time all the
Catholic church choI rs In the city were
led by either him or his pupils, while
at the same time his pupils led the
choirs OF st. Andrews and Calvary
churches.
Shortly after coming here he took
charge OF Trinity Church choir, and
, held the position for ten years. He
was director OF Grace Sunday School
and choirmaster OK st. Peters Pro
/ Cathedral.
He organized the choir of st. Pat
rick's, and served ih tho capacity Of
, musical director I'm Grace, Second
Baptist st. Andrews, st. Stephens,
st. johns and other churches. He was
also musical director for St Andrews
Sunday School, and his choir at Trinity
was the finest paid uuartet in the city.
When Bishop Lee received an ovation
on his return from Europe, Professor
Rhoads had charge of the music.
He was also corrected with almost
every musical club in this city and as
sisted in their organization.
Among these were the Willard Club,
the Philharmonic, Apollo and Choral
He WAS also director OF the Delaware
Saengerbund, and for several years
taught music at tho Girls High School
In addition to those he had several
private classes, anc some of the finest
musicians in this s late and Maryland
are indebted to him for their tuition
and skill.
/ W. W. Lobdell, in speaking of him
said.
HE Is without doubt the best chorus
leader III the city. He possesses in
remarkable degree the quality that ex
cites enthusiasm, while his voice is so
flexible TINT the moment he detects
one of his chorus falling, he can in
stantly and almost imperceptibly e
to his assistance. AS a reader of voca
music Mt sight, / consider him peerless
So quiet is he that many have con
sidered him specially endowed with {
native talent in that respect, which is
a mistake, for his adoptness is the re
suit OF long and careful practice, still
maintained"
In his departure, the City of vii
mington loses one of its finest must
Clans, and most genial citizens. Ii,

The Police Commission is taking q
practical, humane view of the abuses
which are unavoidable in tho cramped
mp condition of the city police quar-
ters, and as remedy they suggest
.,ew, enlarged and better regulated
Argument is needed to bring about
this reform than the incident related
by Mayor Wiley, at last nights meet
ing OF the commissioners to show the
great need of enlarged and better reg
ulated quarters. In the instance re-
ferred TO, and we may add in many in
hlanees. respectable people found sick
an the streets, are taken to the police
station and put into coils with the low
ost kind OF thieves, Migrants and abaR-
doned characters
The commissioners all agreo as to
the need Of this Improvement. but
that will not bring the improve
ment That requires money and
legislation, and all this requires time.
We hope that as the commissioners
have led the way in this ma tier, thu
citizens of Wilmington should fall in
and help the matter along. The city
can better bear the expense Of enlarged
buildings and better accommodations
than it can bear the Charge OF neglect
To unfortunate persons WHO through
no cause or action OF lhtir own be-
come inmates OF the police cells.

tertained Of his recovery, but at that
time lie became worse and was very ill
all night. About IL o'clock yesterday
morning lie was seized with convui-
sions and died as stated He was
faithfully attended by Dr. Downes,
who exhausted all the means Mt his

WHY does not the Every Evening call
upon Attorney General John Biggs to
prosecute collector Mckee and Dough-
erty for embezzlement? He is in po-
liticai sympathy with the collectors,
the grand jury and the petit juries that
would try the cases and le of all men
has the power and advantage to push
the matter to conviction. 1t is well
known that it would be no use for a
Republican Levy Court to push them
1t would hardly have time to enter suit
before the Democrats would trot of
down to Dover and get out an injunc
ton to stop proceedings. Let tho At
torney General prosecute.

The EVERY EVENING is growing on the
discrepancy question. At first it had
it $3.50, and now it has run it away up
to nearly $500. There is no knowing
where it will stop at II left alone, per-
phaps 1t will find that $500 after all
was all the money that tho Republl-
GIN committee paid for tax receipts.
This was its theory before the inyes-
tlgation commenced and it evidently
wants to get back TO that basis again.
It Is frankly admitted that between
the amount paid to Mr. Mckee for re-
oelpts and the amount as certained as
paid by the committee, by comparing
the receipts with the delinquent re-
turns there is discrepancy how
much can only be ascertalned by
careful going over of the assessment
duplicates, the delinquent lists and
list No, 8, which shows the number Of
tax receipts, paid for and for whom
the receipts were procured.
This is something that can easily be
explained and will be explained as soon
as the lists and records referred to are
gone over, to ascertain who and what
number OF persons the committee have
paid tor who were not returned as de
linquents by the collectors. 1t is moi
pretended that the collectors returned
all as delinquents for whom receipts
wsre issued, and taxes were paid. Many
0 them were credited on the dupii
Gates and hence their names could no
appear on the delinquent returns
Their names however, had to appear OF
the list for whom taxes were paid, ant
this naturally showed a discrepancy
In the computation of the accounts
This the Every Evening cannot fail to
see If it gave the matter proper con
sideFation, something which We sin
cerely trust it will do and prevent the
people from getting wrong under.
standing Of the matter.

The Police Commission held their
first Monday night meeting last even.
ing with Mayor Wiley presiding. Con.
siderable time was spent In discussing
the need OF new and better city pris-
on, where prisoners, especially women
and children could be better cared for.
Mayor Wiley said that not long ago
he found woman in the cells, who
was evidently respectable person.
She was an elderly woman, and when
he learned that she was d stranger in
the city, and had been taken sick on the
street, he had her removed to the
is. He said that he would have been
unable to do this, were 1t not that he
Is trustee of that institution.
Commissioner Lawson said that a
few weeks since woman and child
arrived in this city, and as she was q
stranger, without means, was referred
to him for protection and shelter.
Rather than send them to the cells
at the police station, he had paid for
their being cared for at hotel.
Commissioner Jester said that upon
visiting and inspecting the cells at
police station he had come to the con-
clusion that new and more commo.
dlous place WIS needed.
In suggesting measures OF reform
the commissioners agreed with Mayor
Wiley that central station was need
ed In which provision could be made
for all the city officers and also to oil.
low Of separate rooms for the accom-.
mediation OF unfortunate men, women
| and children who were continually
coming under the care OF the police.
They also agreed that the station
| should DO centrally located and
in back street to avoid Unnecessary
| publicity and to prevent the gath
eriDg of the morbidly curious crowds
which crowd around the police station
whenever tho patrol wagon brings
prisoners TO the City Hall. He thought
too, that the question OF the good
name of the city was involved In the
matter to such degree that q publ,
cation OF the facts should induce
speedy action In the case, 1t being only
within the power of the Police Com
mission to state the facts and suggest
what is needed.
On motion OF Mayor Wiley, the
chief OF police was instructed to have
the patrol wagon hereafter bring al
the prisoners to the King street en-
trance OF the City Hall.
The chief was also instructed TO no.
tify all persons owning property that
is occupied under authority of the Pc
lice Commissioners, that new contracts
will be required at the end of three
months.
