year, but VIII fall considerably below
that of 1891. which was for the preceding
presidential election.
Yesterday total OF 505 names was
added to the lists, making the aggregate
for the year thus far 10.947. This Is l47
in excess OF what II was at the corre-
spending date last year, but 1908 below
the record of 1891 at the same time. To-
morrow, Mondag and Tuesday the Office
OF the board OF canvassers and registra-
tion will be open continuously from a.
M, until 9p. m. At p. m. on Tues

Queenly MoOleske has been an occasional
visitor TO this city since 1873, when she
made her first appearance here. From
that day TO this no dramatic artist has
held a frmer grasp upon lovers OF the best
in dramatic art than this gifted lmper-
senator of poetic character. She appeared
at the Providence Opera House last even

ever she undertakes. Perhaps her art
shows as strongly in the character of the

Tho Odd Contraband OF War Gathered by
the Board of Health Sanitary Police.
Up in the Office of Secretary Colqu-
houn of the Board of Health is fine
collection of antique wood carving in
the shape Of gigantic pump handles
gathered by the Board of Health in its
daily warfare in favor of better santa
ton in Wilmington.
In order to prevent people of diff
ferent localities in the city making
use of ancient wells, already the
fruitful source of typhoid fever and
other menaces to public health. the
health officers have had to resort to
heroic methods, and, vi ct arms, take
the handles off the pumps where these
pestiferous wells or water sources are.
Secretary Colquhoun says there is nc
other way to help the residents of these
localities to self-protection in sanitary
ways. As long as the old pumps re.
main with handles to them the people
will come and draw the fever-infecte(
water.
As health measure he has no othel
| alternative but to order the executive
officers to bring away all the pdmr
handles they find in the prescribed dis
tricts. There is plenty of good filtered
water for everyone within the limits o
the city and there is no excuse for tn,
existence of typhoid or other disease at
tributable to bad drinking water.
The result of this movement by tn
health authorities is, as stated, buncl
of already half-a-dozen of these nipple
ments, which, as they stand piled in tn
corner of one of the rooms, look like tn
possible golf clubs Of some historic Som
| of Anak.
