The economists of the world have been
puzzled for some time over the question of
the exact function Of the English gentle
man of leisure IN the great organism allied
society. To the untutored mind he seems
to have no useful field of action except to
maintain the decidedly Improbable system
of royalty, which is one of England's chief
burdens today. But the problem is row ap-
parently solved by the revelations that are
contained in a pamphlet recently issued in
London by writer who seeks to demon
strate the great national value of British
sports. He places this value entirely upon
financial basis. He gives figures that are
startling in their magnitude, showing that
nearly one hundred million dollars are
annually spent in Great Britain in sport.
Under this designation he includes hunt
ing, fishing. yachting and horse-racing,
"gentleman's sports" pastimes of the no.
bility and its imitators. The figures that
he gives are as follows: Hunting. annual
expenditure. $4,000. COO; fishing. 5000 600:
yachting. s10.OO0,OOO: racing. $4,000, 600: a
total Of $0T.OOO.OOO for these four sports,
annually expended in the British Isles
The writer points out the fact that this
money goes Immediately into circulation
and gives great relief to the poor by afford
probably thousands. who are hired as
game keepers, guardians of fishing and
hunting preserves. gun-bearers. guides.
yacht crews. jockeys. trainers, hound
keepers and the hundred and one other
classes Of f1unkeys whose services are
apparently necessary to the happiness of
the average Englishman of leisure. An in
teresting fact Is developed in the great
proportion Of the total money spent on
racing, and the author of the pamphlet
calls attention to the fact that this encour-
agement to the breeding Of fine horses is
giving England a very valuable market for
the sale of good horsefiesh. Comparative
figures in regard to American sports and
their cost would be valuable and interest
Ing. but it is not thought that It could be
that the American spends
nearly as great an average amount on his
sporting pleasures as the Engiishman is
row quoted as paying out each year.

New Scheme for Aiding aIen Out u

New Scheme for Aiding aIen Out of
Work Kindling Wood Cut and De-
livered at Reasonable Prices.
The Associated Charities have made the
following statement in regard to prorid-
ing work for worthy applicants:
The man who can work and will not
work is exasperating TO all charitable
workers. They have to strive with him
continually, and with the drunkard and
the beggar beside. They have to give
work and advise. knowing through 1t all
that they are but pouring into sieve. All
this is discouraging; but there is point
that is more discouraging still, and that is
to find applicants for charity who are
young, strong, able-bodied men-ableto
work, willing to work, imploring work in
stead of aims, and yet unable TO find
enough to keep shelter over the heads Of
their families and bread in their children's
mouths. The managers of the Associated
Charities, continually appealed to for
work by these men, decided to employ
them in saving kindling wood, which will
be sold at current rates and delivered at
the houses of customers.
BY Saturday, February 9th, the charities
will be ready to furnish any amount of
wood ordered, from half-barrel to load
Small orders will be just as helpful as
large ones, and 1t is hoped that the citizens
Of Wilmington will realize the good that
can be done by their cooperation and help
the charities through. Address all orders
by postal card TO Mrs. Clark, No. S37 Tat
nall street. The prices will be as follows :
One-half small barrel, 10 cents; one-half
large barrel. Is cents; one small barrel, 20
cents; one large barrel, 25 cents; one load

was helping to lift an S-ton rock when
the elect around which the supporting
rope was wound gave way and every

One Of the Best-known Citizens of Sussex

One OF the Best-known Citizens of Sussex
Oiled Sunday at His Home in Laurel.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
LAUREL, Feb. 4.-Benjamin +. Fooks,
aged 81 years, died Mt his home in Laurel /
at an early hour yesterday. He had been
in failing health for several months, but
the immediate cause of his decease was an
attack of pneumonia.
He was one of the best known men in
Sussex county and was prominently mem
toned last fall for the Gubernatorial
nomination on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Fooks was one of the largest landowners
in lower Delaware and was besides pos
sessed of large interest in Pennsylvania
railroad stock He was beloved and we'll
spoken of by everybody.
He was married rather late in life, and
his young wife and an only daughter, not
yet grown, survive him. His only imme-
diate relative beside these is his sister, Mrs.
j. 4. Wright of this town.
Thomas Ryan of Hudson, Mass. died in
this town yesterday. He was but % years
old and being troubled with tuberculosis
came here for treatment. The terrible
weather of the past week was too much
for his weakened constitution. His
brother arrived from the East just a few
hours before his death and left last night
with the remains for his old home.
