People Who Own Suburban Property

There is a project on foot to establish
new street railway system in Will
mington. Several informal conferences
nave recently been held by local capital.
lists who own suburban property, and
one CT the prime movers said Thursday
that while no definite steps had been
taken the gentlemen interested had
about decided to call meeting and
have charter adopted for presentation
to the General Assembly.
THE idea is" the speaker said, "to
build up the unimproved country al.
jaccnt to the city and enhance the value
of the property that is already improved,
We want to cater principally to the
working class of people, and il we are
successful in putting the matter through
our main hold will be cheap fares. The
principal obstacle to outlying property
now is that it costs SO much for street
car fare that it is actually cheaper in
many instances for people to live near
the heart of the city and pay high rents
than ii is to live in cheaper houses in
suburban districts"
The interested parties claim that by
selling tickets in hundred lots they can
afford to do so at about half the regular
rate. The GAzETTE's informant
said that he knew that hundreds OF
people would move into the suburbs
and ride daily on the cars If they could
do so at small figure, and he believed
that in the long run the railway would
make money in addition to benefting
suburban property. The idea is to al
low transfers on all fares.
at would be necessary" the gentle
man explained, "for us to run on some
streets that are parallel to lines now III
existence, but then we would have our
own field and don't think the old com.
pany would feel much difference in the
receipts"
When questioned concerning the prob
able location of the proposed new sys-
tenn, the reporters informant said that
it was the idea to have one line, a CEN
trail line, running north and south on
probably King and Shipley or French
streets. The other lines he said would
branch out in different directions toward
different suburbs. The gentleman to
whom The GAZETTE's representative
was talking is interested in considerable
property in the Ninth ward, East Lake
and on the western side of the city. He
says others connected with the proposed
scheme have property improved and
unimproyed in the city limits and with
in a short distance Of the boundaries.
A meeting will shortly be called for
the purpose of considering the matter
in all its phases, and at the meeting a
form of charter, which is now in course
of preparation, will be submitted.

As4MsoN AMoSG BIRDS.
How the Emperor Penguin Taught a Dog
.. a Lesson.

Youths Companion.
Very interesting facts about those
extraordinary birds, the penguins, We're
learned during the British Antarctic
Expedition 1898. The largest as well
as the rarest of penguins, is the emperor
penguin, first seen by Captain Cook.
These birds sometimes weigh as much as
seventy five or eighty pounds, and the
muscles covering their breasts contribute
more than one-third of their entire
weight.
A very large specimen was captured
and taken on board ship during the ex-
petition Just referred to. Standing
erect, in the sheen of its plumage, it
seemed clothed with gold and purple
and white and black.
Presently it gave an exhibition of its
extraordinary strength, One blow Of
its ilipper-like fore limb sent an imperti-
nent dog bowling off to nurse his head.
Five men were required to secure the
penguin, and they succeeded only with
great difficulty, one holding to each leg,
one to each flipper, and one grasping the
neck After being strongly bound,
the muscular bird succeeded in breaking
loose.
Another indication of the immense
strength of the fore limbs, or fippers, of
the penguin is the fact that, with their
aid, the birds are able to leap perpendicu-
larly out OF the water to height Of three
feet or more, landing upright on cake
of ice. They approach close to the
edge of the ice before making the leap,
and Jump directly upward.

The Proposed Change in the Method and

ihe proposed Change IN tho Method and
the Existing senatorial situation in
Delaware.
Kansas City, NO., Times.
A careless New York newspaper censures
Senator Gray of Delaware for opposng
the amendment OF the Constitution 50 as
to change the method of electing Senators
to Congress from tho present form 10 q
direct vote Of the people, and cites the
existing deadlock in the Delaware Legisla-
ture us reason for the change. why
did he not express himself on such silu-
ations as are presented when vulgar mil
lionaire like Addieks attempts to buy the
Delaware SenatoIship aud actually creates
deadlock with his chattels p says this
orscular but not too well informed news
paper.
Nothing relevant to the question would
have been achieved ii Senator Gray, who
is a lawyer, statesman and Democrat,
had cited the Illuminating condition exist
ing in the State he represents. As matter
OF fact If the change had been made in
time the deadlock in Delaware might have
been avoided, but only because the "vul-
gar millionaire" Addicks would have
bought UP the nominating convention,
and purchased his title clear 10 the office.
The corrupt use of money in elections is
ore of the great evils of the time. II is
no more dangerous in Senatorial elections
than in others. Really it is less dangerous
i'll Senatorial elections for the reason that
as rule the voters in Il Senatorial election
are men of some consequence in the COM
munity in which they live, and however
ANXIOUS they may be to sell their votes
they are restrained by the fact that the
record is made up against them if they 60
wrong and it is undeniable. But u COLI
vention is the open field for the operations
of the bood!er.
The present unfortunate situation in
Delaware is not in consequence of the ex.
isting system of eleCting Senator's 1t is
the result of Republican success in the
state. If the Democrats had carried the
Legislature there would have been no
deadlock and no boodling. When Senator
| Gray was chosen there was neither. But
the first Republican victory was accom-
| plished there six years ago by John Wanna
| maker of Pennsylvania. who bought votes
in the State just US he buys ribbons for his
bargain counter. The fruit of that victory
was the electionl of Anthony Higgins TO
the Senate, and the appointment Of Wanna
maker to cabinet office. After that came
the reign of the boodlers.
But The election of Senators by direct
vote would not have prevented Addicks
| from disgracng the State. IL would have
simply transferred his vulgarity from
Dover to Washington. He would have
bought up the nominating convention
with half the money that it has cost him
| to deadlock the Legislature. There would
have been no advantage in this to the
! public The New York paper that dis.
| cusses the question is mistaken.

scribed List.
Librarian Tyler at the Free Library
is always a very busy man. But this
does not prevent his visitors from having
very interesting and lively 10 minutes
in his company. You leave him with
an increased respect for books in general
and with an impression, not at all a
vague one, that the Wilmington Free
Library is the rightful centre of all
public interest in the city.
Among the new books Just ordered is
the great English Encyclopedias of
National Biography. 1t has reached its
10th volume at the word "Nichois,"
that is to say it is about two.thlrds way
through towards completion. At the
same time was ordered Reclus' great
work, "The Earth" which has been in
press for the past dozen years.
The reporter woke up when Professor
Tyler remarked that six more copies of
the terrible "Trilby" had been ordered.
"How do you get along with that
black sheep " the reporter asked as he
called to mind that the volume has been
black.listed in other libraries.
People seem disappointed" was the
Librarians answer, as he added, ''there
is so much Of French phraseology in it,"
WELL" was the reporters reply,
there is your opportunity for making
the Free Library propaganda for
| general culture"

added, that you would get some of
Anthony Hopes works on the shelves.

The reporter" Why, which one ?"
81 am not going to tell you" Mr..
Tyler said smiling, but all the same we
are not going to get it-that's sure"
The newspaper mans strong desire
for Hopes writings is alongside the fact
that they are amongst the most popular
stories Of the day. They are not only in
the leading magazines, out are also now
in the sunday papers.
