LET THERE Be LIGHT.
The Thirty-three Arc street Lights Are

The ThIrty-three Arc Street Lights Are
Wholly Inadequate to the Needs of
the city.
The streets Of Wilmington should be
better lighted. The thirty three arc
lights now in service are wholly in
adequate TO the public need and a re-
prOsch TO a city OF this size and i'm
portance. There Is a proposition to in
crease the number to eighty-three, but
that is a meagre service when compared
with other cities Of similar size aud less
Importance.
with population Of 65,OOO the arc
lights now average one TO every 600 In.
habitants, while the average throughout
the country Is one arc light to every 200
inhabitants This shows conclusively
that Wilmington has only one.tenth the
arc light service that IL should have.
Bridgeport, Conn, with a population
Of as, 600, has 20S arc lights; Hartford,
with 90, 600 population, has 400 lights,

Words of Reconciliation Dedi-
Gated to Manager Hilles.
A SYMPATHETIC STRIKE AvERTED

Harmony Roigns I'm the Ranks of the
Bris hess Barristers- Existence OF the
superannuated PottIfoggers Threatened.
A great sympathetic strike Of baseball
players all over the country has been
averted Manager William $. Hllles, Of
the Briefless Barristers, and Manager
William Michael Byrne, Of the Super
annuated Pettifoggers, have become
reconoiled after weeks indulgence In
recrimination and abuse. They have
clasped hands over what threatened to
be bloody chasm, and Manager Byrne
has sung into the ear of Manager Hilles
the following song Of reconciliation:
Oh, PARDON NE
with Apologes)
Dedicated to Manager Hnles.
Oh, pardon me. for having dared to say
That not a member Of your nine could play;
did not think your umpire had the gall
10 let yO1 use a bouncing rubber ball;
Iumult1ous yells viii greet you from the
stands
As Cooper catches you with pillowed hands;
High flies, foul tips, strike-outs and all,
Old pillowed Pete will gobble every ball.
Oh, pardon me. for my rash thought and word
BY which l sought to have my grievance
heard:
thought when you beheld my pleading face
You could not turn me OF the team With
Oh. come and stand beside me. in my ewes
watch the wild fury as / knock those flies.
| That mean home-runs for every man on base
And forces Ward a rouslng score to trace.
Oh. pardon me, that should dare proclaim
That those young gold-bugs might bring in
with johnson. Gray and Tom they've got nc
Three golden balls are all the balls they know
| Wen Peffer them with populistic rage,
i And drive them back into their counter cage
A series of large O's will be their score,
And law will triumph DER its foes once more
Copies of this charming song may b,
obtained from the special constables OF
the field. The air for the words may alsC
be found there, especially on the higi
seats. Although the constabulary are
band, they do not, in fact, cannot play
not even ball Mr.. ByEne offers libsra
reward to any person succeeding in set
ting these words to music.
Mr. Byrnes voice is not silver .tone'
by any means, nor has IL a range o
marked degree, but when he poured ou
his big heart in Mr.. Hilles's off ear, tn
manager of the Briefless Bsrrister
thought that he had never heard sweete
music.
The friends Of Mr.. BSrne say that b
owes Manager Hilles no thanks for sign

assert that the Debs sympathetic strik
among the railroad men would not hsv

The Proper caper in Cards.

what" asks a correspondent, lis the
proper thing to do in the way of leaving
cards when calling upon a family?''
Well, there is some difference of opinion
upon this subject. l believe we differ
somewhat from the usage of London So
ciety, where young ladies have no cards of
their own and are always chaperoned.
A married lady sends in her name if the
lady of the house is at home; having seen
her, the visitor would leave two Of her
husbands cards on the hall table when
departing; one for the master and one for
the mistress of the house.
1t would be considered vulgar if she left
one of her own.
If the lady called upon is mot at home .
the lady calling leaves three cards, her
own and two of her husbands, for she
according to etiquette, calls only upon the
mistress of the house, while the husbands
cards are for master and mistress.
If there are daughters, a separate one
of the lady's cards is left for them She
would not leave her husbands card for
the daughters.
Turning down the end or corner of a
card signifies that the ladies of the family
are included in the call.
/ do not think this custom obtains
much but | belive it is good FORM and is
certainly both convenient and sensible, the
know that you have called, and the sim
pier the method by which the object is
effected the better.
There is so much useless fiummery that
simplicity becomes elegance very often
Almost every high class stationer pub
fishes books and pamphlets on card Ell
quette, and if my correspondent does not
find smooth sailing in society it would be
wise to invest in volume or so-New
