A wILMINGToN FAvoRITE.

WILMINGTON fANORlTE.
A Reading paper has the following
to say about Robert Mantell, who will
be at the Opera House tomorrow
night: Bicknell Dudleys romantic
drama, "a Gentleman From Gascony, +"
was given at the Academy of Music
last evening to the great interest of a
discriminating, intellectual audience.
The play is laid in and about Paris at
the time of the oppression of the Huge
nots. The chief character is Raoul de
Puycadere, who comes to Paris to seek
a bride and fortune and to serve
Henri Of Navarro. He is continually
In danger, fights a duel and kills his
man, rescues his lady love from brig
ands and saves the kings life. Some
Of the scenes were well worked out and
were liberally applauded. Robert Man
tell, a romantic actor of ability, and
who has many admirers in Reading,
who are always pleased to welcome
him, displayed his artistic versatility to
a greater and more satisfactory degree
than in any Of his other fmpersona-
tiOns here. He is a good figure, speaks
distinctly, is handsome, and last even
ing was every inch a hero. Charlotte
Behrens as Gabrielle gave a delightful,
intelligent Interpretation Of the role.
The many other characters were care
fully given, particularly those by Min
ME Monk, Louise Marcell. Frank w
Smith, Howard Hall, E. A. Eberle, b.
T. Ringgold. Mr.. and Mrs. Mantell
charlotte Behrens) were called before
the curtain at the end of the third act.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
ADVOCATES THE wHIPPMG-PosT.

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal:
Sir: In reading an editorial in the
Inquirer about too much kindness for
criminals. thought of your present bill
In the Legislature to abolish the whip
ping-post. Other states call It barbar-
ious, but / think that Delaware ought
TO be proud of having It,, which ac-
counts for 50 few criminals. Your city,
compared to other cities of the same
size, has little crime. With a large
colored population, and as being placed
between larger cities, Wilmington would
have many passing criminals, were IL
not for the whipping-post, which is a
scare-crow, and is keeping most of the
regular criminals Of large cities away
from your walls. / think that the
punishment could be improved by be-
ing made more decent. Women and
children should not be allowed to wit
ness whippings, and there should be
no chewing, smoking and talking when
the men are being punished.
Your state wants to initiate larger
states. You want a rk-house or a
penitentiary. Politicians want it be-
cause such an institution will give jobs
to many prOteges. If you build such
an institution, you must have crimi-
nails to put there, and to invite crimi-
nails in your state you will have to
abolish this whipping-post, which is
keeping them away.
Sincerely yours,
FRANCIS HAMMER.

OUR NEW PILOT SERVICE.

There has always been a great deal
of romance attached to the pilot SER
vice at the capes Our pilots have been
looked upon as men who were willing
to go out to sea in all sorts of weather
in their staunch little sailing craft to
bring larger and more valuable craft
safeintop port They havebeen entitled to
all the words of admiration and COM
mendation that have been showered
upon them during their long and use
ful career. No place along the Allan
tic coast has had a more efficient SER
vice, and the competitive work to Sc
cure business has resulted in many
pretty races among the several boats
which have been cruising off the Della
ware capes for so many years.
But all this is to be changed, and the
initial step has already been taken. The
pilots have awakened to the fact that
the shipping OF the present day de-
mands something more than sailing
vessels, and to meet this demand they
have had constructed a steam pilot
boat for service in placing pilots on in
coming craft. This is but one OF two
or three which will be built to take
the place of the several schooners
which have been kept in service for
such long time by both the Della
ware and Pennsylvania pilots.
This new boat for the pilot service
was launched at Philadelphia on Sat
urday, and she will go in service on
May /, two of the sailing vessels work
ing in conjunction with her. She will
be manned by a crew OF twelve men,
and the pilot whose turn comes first
for the next incoming vessel will be
in command.
A few words descriptive OF the new
boat will not be amiss, as everyone in
Delaware will be more or less interest
ed in her. She is built of the best steel
and cost $4,000. She is 1876 feet long,
25 feet beam and 141s feet depth of
hold. The engines will be of the COM
pound type. and specially designed for
heavy service and rough weather. The
steam will be supplied from steel
Scotch boilers of 125 pounds to the
square inch, and she will be provided
with a wrecking pump with a capacity
OF 1000 gallons per minute. When
completed she will be the best Of heI
type in American waters.
While this boat will rob the service
of much of the romance that has at
tached to 1t, it will also rob it of much
OF its risk, and the relatives and
friends OF the pilots will not spend SC
many anxious hours while the boat is
out looking for incoming craft. Not
only that. but leaving the sentimental
side of the question and looking at il
from strictly business poini
of view, the shipping inter
ests will be better served and
the pilots will find their work much
more remunerative after they get theii
full equipment and become adjusted tC
the new conditions.

THE GILHooLYs ABROAD .

The Germans have for years been
known as among the cleverest of the
many clever minstrels before the pub
lie. In minstrelsy they lacked that
wide scope for the exercise Of their tai
ents, which farce comedy affords, and
It is pleasant to note that in "The Gill
hoolys Abroad" the wide field afforded
is amply utilized in a display of their
abilities. A capable company has been
secured the costuming is up-to-date
and the piece has enough incident to
keep spectators interested throughout
the version. They will present The
Gilhoolys Abroad" at the Opera House

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE JUDGES CANDIDACY.

The rumor that Judge Clayton is an
active candidate for the position of
collector of the port of Philadelphia is
a very interesting one to the people of
this county. That Judge Clayton play
ed a prominent part in the affairs lead
ing up to the nomination of Major Nc
Kinley for the presidency, there can be
no doubt, and that he is on close and
confidential terms with the president
and those about him is equally sure
The judges candidacy, then, is not a
mere notion. even were his honor in
clined to notions, and If he undertake;
a trial for the place he will do so with
good reasons to believe that he will bS
successful. Judge Clayton is one Of the
clearest-headed and most calculating
political thinkers in the state. He fore
saw very early in the campaign ths
outcome of McKinley's candidacy. anC
was in close communication with tbs
managers of his canvass for month,
