ANe"i hN'd1" hhh VINO nave Noticed an
Improvement in Their business.
There is no better indication of the
Improvement Of the times tnan the fact
that houses are renting much faster than
four several months and terms are much
better than they have been for some
time. a canvass of several prominent
real estate agents in Wilmington reveals
this state of affairs and the opinion pre-
walls that times are steadily growing
better.
At the office of Head & Co. the gen
tleman having charge Of the renting de.
partment stated that he had rented
more houses within the past few weeks
than during any like period since the
business depression began.
William 4. Hawkins, of Hawkins &
Co., stated that there was noticeable
Improvement in the renting OF houses
within the last month, and the indica.
tons are that there is permanent
change for the better.
At the Office Of Joseph L. Carpenter,
Jr, the same conditions prevailed and i
general Frightening up in tic renting Of
houses was noted
Samuel Cutbert is another real estate
agent who has nolced the Improvement
il renting houses.
William j. Fisher is authority for the
statement that there is brighter out
look for real estate men and he says he
has rented more Houses within the past
few weeks than during any equal
period for some time He hus noticed
that families who doubled NJ during
the prevalence Of the hard times have
now taken dwelling to themselves and
there is not near the number OF unoccn.

a large contractor and builder whose
houses are in Mr.. Fishers hands, asserts
that all OF MS unUccuped houses have

WAsHINoToN, March 27.--The funeral
services of'the late Senator Colquitt began
promptly at . o'clock in the Senate
chamber this morning. The re-
mains had been conveyed TO the
chamber by half-past eight, and deposited
in front of the Vice Presidents desk. The
casket was plain black, with heavy silver
handles, surmounted by two beautiful
wreathes of flowers, composed OF white
pinks, white carnations, hyacinths and
Easter lilies.
There was rather sparse attendance OF
Senators and members when the Vice
President called the Senate to order and
the blind chaplain OF the SEN
ate, the Rev. w. III. Milburn, began
the funeral services. He wGs assisted by
Chaplain Bagby Of the House. The MEM
bers OF the Cabinet and of the Supreme
Court were prompt In arrival as
were several representatives from the
diplomatic corps. The President was not
in attendance, but he was represented by
his cabinet with the exception of Secre-
tary Lamont, but General Schoteld was
there as representative OF the war de-
partment.
Chief Justice Fuller was accompanied to
the chamber by all the members Of the
Supreme Court except Justices Field
and Jackson. They occupied seats
Immediately in the rear of the
cabinet officials while Immediately back OF
them sat the members of the diplomatic
CORPS, including the Chinese, japanese,
Korean a nd Hawaiian Ministers. and re-
presentatives of the English, German,
French and other legations.
The family of-the deceased and their
immediate friends occupied seats to the
left OF the Vice President, and fronting
him while the honorary pail bearers, con-
sisting of the committees OF the two
Houses of Congress who are to accompany
the remains to Georgia, formed semi
circle about the Vice President.
Speaker Crisp occupied seat beside the
Vice President. The galleries were
crowded.
The sightless, venerable chaplain pre-
sented striking figure as he read in
solemn, resonant voice:
clam the resurrection and the life. He
that believeth in Me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever
liveth and believeth in Me shall never
die"
The address which followed was devoted
to the personal virtues and home life of
the distinguished Senator rathor than 10
his political achievements, and to the
simplicity and gentleness of his daily life
rather than to the honors which he had
achieved.
In a solemn voice he pronounced the
benediction and the casket was then
borne through the south door OF the
cham Der.
When the Chamber had been emptied
of all save the Senators and officers, Sem
stor Harris of Tennessee, after consulta-
tion with the Vice President, moved that
the Senate adjourn at 9:i5 a. m. This
was agreed to.

The Polo Players.

The Grays won from Worcester in In
fantry Hall last evening by score OF Z to 3
and the Bostons defeated the New Bed
fords 20 in Boston a. the same time,
consequently the home team stands seven
points behind the leaders as IL did yester-
day. There has been no change in the
league standing.
The game last evening in Infantry HAL
was interesting, because it was lively from
start TO finish. The Grays thought that
IL would be an easy victory and played a
shooting game. IL was costly, however,
as the visitors tied the score twice
and were frequently in fair position TO
win. III blocking and passing has been
the style the Worcester players
would have been badly beaten. The Grays
thought that they could risk little and
did, thereby making the play faster.
The Il. II. Gladding and Bradford anna
teur polo teams had a lively game last
evening. The Gladdings won by tho
