1T WILL BE AMlcABLY ARRANGED
BY THE PARTY LEADERS.

Organization Effected and Delegates
Chosen In a Number OF wards-No EIec-
tions VIII Have to Be Held in This
City To-day.
The Democrats of several wards met
last evening and organized. With the
exception of the Eighth ward the pro-
ceedings were harmonious throughout,
and even the disagreement there will
be amicably adjusted. This prevailing
harmony does away with the necessity
of holding elections in any Of the wards
to day.
The trouble in the Eighth ward arose
because of misunderstanding as to the
time. The chairman called the meeting
for 730 o'clock at No. SOB East Sixth
street. At the time appointed there
were number of Democrats there and
they proceeded to business. George B.
Stewart was re elected chairman, James

journed.

came who thought that o'clock was the
time set for the meeting. They became
incensed and repaired to No 724 East
Eleventh street, where they organized by
electing Edward Dugan, chairman; Frank
Corcorsn, secretary and Joseph WymRn
treasurer. They passed Eresolutions con
demning the action of the regularly
called meeting and named Robert
Graham, James T. Begley aud Harry G..
Ayers as ward executive committee.
The men who held the first meeting did
not know anything of the subsequent
one.
The First ward Democrats organized
last evening. J J. Cassidy was elected
chairman; p. Collins, vice chairman;
J. Mclaughlin, secretary; Joseph Bader,
treasurer Ward committee-P. Collins,

gate to the hundred meeting. The ward
committee will not be named until the

THE NAPLES JUDICIAL FRIEND.

Judge Marvel Thinks That Persons who
Plant Poplars Are Making a Mistake,
as They Shed Early and Are Not
Shapely.
wilmington is remarkable for the
number of beautiful shade trees, re.
marked Judge Marvel this morning
Few cities Of its size have so many
well-shaded streets. l consider it un-
fortunate that the citizens, in late years
have been putting out the poplar rather
than some of the species of the MAPLE.
Il suppose 1t has been done because Of
the quick growth of the tree; but It is
an unshsPely tree, and without beauty
Its wood is brittle aud subject TO injury
by storms, and, as a shade tree, it is very
undesirable, particularly because of the
early period in which it begins to shed
it's leaves. After the tree attains a few
years of age, it begins to shed in August.
and even by the first of September les
pecially of dry SEASON. it is almost bare
of leaves.
"On the other hand, the maple is
shapely, of hard wood, clean, and holds
its foliage very late In the year, the
leaves changing to many fall colors be-
fore being shed. IL requires much care
ana almost an entire lifetime to secure 8
tree of any size; and it is, Il consider
highly important that all the care and
time should not be wasted on such class
of trees as the poplar. OF course, in I
large grove or lawn a person might desire
few in order to give variety"
