STEAMSHIP AGENTS ABOLISHED.
no MORE BRANCH OFFICES TO BE
LOCATED IN THE SIG CITIES.

LO0tA FL ~ II - ~ - A ----~s
The transatlantic steamship lines
which have numerous agencies scat
tered about the large cities and are
obliged to pay heavy commissions have
mutually decided to abolish all agen-
,ies and make their main offices the
only places where tickets to Europe
san be purchased. This step was de-
eided upon at a conference held in Lon
s Ion on October %, and has already
)een ratified by the principal represen-
atives Of what is known as the Eng
ish lines on the one hand and the Con-
mental lines on the other. These
ines have been at war for years,
mainly through the claim of the Con-
mental lines, of interference on the
part of the English lines in Continental
business.
The cause of the adjustment OF
agencies is the heavy commissions
charged by the outsiders and their rap
idly increasing number. The mini
mum rate for Crossing the Atlantic IN
s he cabin has been fixed at SIS. Nc
8 attention will be paid to tourists agen-
81 lies unless their hooking for any ono
s steamer reaches or exceeds twenty-fv,
passengers. There have been thre,
8 such agencies in Wilmington.

A CHEEKY INTRUDER.
ATE AND BATHED AT THE HOME
OF JOHN STAATS SATURDAY
NIGHT.

AIE AMI DA AlDEJ Al IhE HUME
OF JOHN STATS SATURDAY
NIGHT
The home of John Stats. No. 519
East Seventh street, was entered by a
burglar on Saturday night, but, luckily,
nothing was stolen.
Mr.. Stats and several other mem
bers of the family had retired for the
night as usual, leaving the front door
open in order that the younger mem-
bers of the family might enter without
disturbing the slumbers of their elders.
This was seen by the robber and he
readily grasped the opportunity OF Sc
curing booty in any easy manner. He
entered the house, turned up the sew
eral lamps that were burning, turned
the drafts on the kitchen stove, and
then prepared himself a bOunteous
meal. After eating his fill, the in
truder proceeded up stairs, passed
through the room of Mr.. Stats, and
finally reached the bathroom, where
he gave himself a wash, using the fam
ily's best soap Some tooth powder
lay on the window sill, and with this
the man cleaned his teeth.
BY this time a small son of Mr.
Stats came into the house, and hear
ing unusual noises up stairs, started
to investigate. The burglar also heard
young Staats, and made his escape.
The family was aroused, but the
cheeky intruder had by this time made
good his escape. The only thing miss
ing was Mr.. Stats stockings.
Mr.. Staats will hereafter lock the
front door and provide his sons with
keys.

Air Bubble Nests.

Paradise fishes come from Japan, and
their nests are very odd, indeed, for
they are composed of air bubbles. I'm
like goldfish, they will breed and raise
their young i'll an aquarium or even a
glass globe, and, as they raise three or
four broods each year, the girl or boy
who owns pair of the interesting pets
is almost sure to have large fish fam
lily in few months.
Ordinarily the male paradise fish is
of dull silvery color, but when he goes
accounting he puts on a brilliant coat,
striped with streaks of red, blue and
green. When the female fish is ready
to lay eggs, she builds her nest by swal-
lowing air and making bubbles. which
are held together by sticky secretion
that comes from her mouth
The eggs rise in the water and find a
resting place among the air bubbles, to
which they cling The female fish tries
to swallow the eggs, but her husband
drives her away and keeps guard until
the eggs are Matched. If the air bubbles
burst, the male fish blows some more,
so that the nest is always floating on
the surface of the water.
At the end of five days the young are
Matched out. They cannot swim, but
cling like tadpoles to the air bubbles.
II one falls, the father fish catches it in
his mouth and blows it up among the
bubbles again. He does not leave his
little ones until they are able to swim,
and then they take care of themselves.
The paradise fish grows to length
of three or four inches and thrives best
Oh chopped up angleworms. If they
are kept from the cold, they increase
rapidly and make fine pets. Chicago

with pride. He intimated that the

how to do it. Mr.. Kipling waited till he
neared the earth again. Then he replied
IL want to tell you that Of all the hotels
under the shining sun have never seen
one that for unmitigated, all round unen-
durable discomfort, could ever be named

either of the three bodies is entitled to
the credit given it, The Chinese beat
them all.
They are at one time the most expert

ing at it, and he can catch the man who
stole it, if it happens to be some other
man than himself, when q French de-

an evildoer to long elude the Chinese
detectives. They scent crime and fol.
low it to the last before civilized detect
ives would know of it.
The Chinese detective force is secret

world. They have an eye upon every

tive, in China, and in addition watch
over each other.

The Young rIan as Citizen.

The Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, d. D.,
treats OF "The Young Man as Citizen"
in his article in September Ladies Home
Journal. In defining the duties OF citi-
zenship he says: "A citizen has no more
right to be neglected. of the interests of
the civic whole in which he is member
than parent or child has to be neglect
full OF the interests of the domestic
whole in which he is a member. There
is the same quality Of un.Christian dis
regard involved in both cases, and
whether a man let's his state or city
shift for itself, in the one instance, as
well as in the other, he is false to his
corporate duty and is despicable shirk.
"The doctrine just enunciated needs to
be preached and pushed. great deal
of our political misery is due to'the fact
that men, who are fairly faithful in most
of the relations in which hey are placed,
do not hesitate, and are not ashamed, to
be drones and renegades in their relations
to the town or nation that they
belong to. They would consider them
selves reprobates were they to allow
neighbor to suffer abuse without an
attempt at intervention, but would see
their entire city with all its machinery of
government go to the dogs and the
harpies without one definite effort at
rescue or one distinct thought that such
inaction was wicked and inhuman.
Nothing will correct this evil but the
creation of a sentiment so energetic and
persuasive that decent people will not
have the cowardly audacity to neglect
the primary duties that pertain to them
in their civic capacity. Citizens will
attend the primaries, register and vote
when the prevalent sentiment of attach
ment to our institutionsis so pronounced
and compelling, that failure to discharge
the functions of citizen will be branded
as contemplate. Patriotism has
come rather generally to be interpreted
as willingness to fight and die for ones
country and its institutions. That
answers very well for definition Of
patriotism during times of war, but is
generally deficient in that it allows no
room for patriotism in times of peace.
We should consider that a very cheap
specimen OF conjugal fidelity which put a
man upon caring for his wife ard devot-
ing himself to her necessities only on
occasions when she was threatened by
ruffians. A husbands love has its
sphere OF service at all times and in all
situations. So has patriotism. Shoot
ing our national enemies is only small
and accidental part in the matter. What
our country needs most is men who will
love her and-not die for her, but live for
her while there is no shooting going on"
