LOCAL OPTION AND STEREOPTICON.
LARGE AUDIENCE IN THE TENT
AT EIGHTH AND LOMBARD
STREETS LAST NIGHT

The big tent at Eighth and Lombard
streets is now thoroughly introduced 10
the people Of Wilmington, and some
rousing meetings are expected there in
the cause Of local option. The initial
meeting was called TO order last night
by l.. w. Brosius. the temporary presi-
dent of the Local Option League ofWil-
mington, who introduced Nj. }. Fan
ming, Of Baltimore, to the audience, as
the person who would have charge. The
tent force consists of Mr. Tanning as
speaker and general manager. Profess
sor Luther +. Messick. of Capitola. Md.
who has charge of the music: Miss Eva
b. Robertson, of White Haven. Md,
who presides at the organ and assists
Professor Messick and Miss Tanning.
The large audience present applauded
to the echo the four selections sung by
Professor Messick Rev. J. ID. c. Hanna
made the opening prayer, after which
Mr.. Tanning spoke. He read the article
of the new Constitution, which makes
it possible to destroy the legality of the
saloon in Delaware through the opera
| tion Of local optiCn legislation and al
the same time leave men free to act
with the political party Of their choice
He argued that the character Of the
men with whom temperance reformer;
are called to deal proves the need OF
suppressive rather than repressive leg
islation. The strong minded. moderate
drinker will not let drink alone; tn,
poor drunkard cannot let it alone, anC
the saloon keeper will be found in the
land while there is money and legality
in the business. Moral suasion as rul'
will not reach these classes.
4 The audience was taken a stereopti
con trip to Niagara Falls, and thu
hymn Nearer My God to Thee" wa
sung and illustrated.

USE OF ANTI-TOXINE.

Secretary e. b. Frazer, of the State
Board of Health. has begun an investi-
CATION for his personal satisfaction Of
the localities where diphtherla has
been reported from.
Mr.. Frazer is of The opinion that
some of the streets and surroundings
are very dirty from either neglect or
oversight, and has been appealed to at
his home by citizens whom ne has
promptly referred to Secretary Ten
Weges, of the City Board of Health,
which has the jurisdiction.
Mine cases out of ten that are be-
ing reported as diphtheria are not
diphtheria at ALL but tonsilitis," said
Mr.. Frazer while going his rounds.
Anybody can see this by noting the
very low fatality and infinitely small
percentage Of deaths.
1T is exactly the same trouble that
existed last year at Lewes. / did not
blame the physicians chen for report
ing diphtheria, for the case certainly
looked very serious, and when it looks
| like diphtheria the family ought TO be
told so. In Lewes it proved to be ton
silitis and not diphtheria at ALL"
A well-known physician declared tC
an Evening Journal man this morning
that the anti-toxine treatment need
never bother any physician or patient
