ROW NIGHT.
The attraction for the Grand Opera
House tomorrow night will be Hoyt's
intensely funny and satirical farcical
comedy, "a Contented Woman" with
the charming and talented Caroline
Miskel HOyt and the entire company
of Hoyt's New York Theatre in its cast.
"A Contented Woman" is in four acts.
The prevalent fad satirized is the wo-
man in politics, and the disastrous re-
suits which would flow from the advent
of woman suffrage in now peaceful do
mains are shown. Benton Holme, a
rich and prosperous merchant, having
been rendered the nomination for the
mayoralty of the city, and viewing il
as a stepping-stone to future advance
ment to the Senate and other digni-
ties, accepts the honor" and placing
himself in the hands of his friends, his
hitherto happy home becomes the re-
sort of political toughs and wire-pull-
ers, and his peace OF mind is destroyed.
After a little tiff with his charming
wife Caroline Miskel Hoyt), and his
departure from the house ION busi-
ness" a coteTie of advanced women,
headed by a clever specimen of the
new" in the person of Aunt jim" an
earnest advocate of woman suffrage,
convinces Mrs. Holme that her duty to
the sex demands that she should ac-
cept a nomination for the office OF
mayor of Denver, and assures her that
her triumphant election to that office
would make her husband a more de-
voted man and place her on the pin

ELECTRICITY AIDING RuRc1Ap

'|i4-D NIL IL AIDING BURGLARS.
Serious apprehensions are being felt
IN some quarters concerning the facili-
ties being afforded by the extending
electrical systems for depredations
against what have up till now been re-
garded as invulnerable safe depositor-
les. IN some recent experiment it was
shown that by a simple application of
an ordinary circuit, holes could be
pierced with the greatest ease through
seven thicknesses Of an inch each of
drill proof chrome steel in less than
thirty minutes. The apparatus is sim
pie in the extreme, consisting merely
of carbon stick, small box lined
with fire-clay or asbestos, the necessary
connecting wires and n resistance.
A knowledge Of voltage and amper-
age delivered at the point where the
connection with the mains is to be
made is essential, when the interpola-
tion of a resistance is made to reduce
the voltage to about sixty or eighty
with an amperage Of hundred and
fifty. The wires are then connected
and the box being fixed to the safe, an
arc is started with temperature oi
5000 or 10000 degrees, which will melt
hole through a four-inch steel safe il
as many minutes. 1t may be objected
that the scientific" burglar is not yet
nor is likely to obecome sufficiently scien
tific to successfully carry out such al
operation. It should be remembered
however, that the manipulations are o
the simplest character to anyone pos
sessing the necessary knowledge, ans
that the high-class burglar is not gen
orally either illiterate or unintelligent
The means of meeting this possibl,
danger would appear to be a system o.
alarm by which any abnormal diver
sion Of current would be indicated.

FoR A W1LMINGToN RIVER FRONT

FOR A WILMINGTON RIVER FRONT
Yesterday the House passed "An Act
for the Relief OF Certain Marsh Owners
in the City OF Wilmington" This is
the bill of the Delaware Construction
Company, and the relief asked for is
simply to be permitted TO go on and inn
prove its own property unhampered by
the unprogressiveness of some of the
owners of marsh property adjoining or
adjacent to that owned by the Della
ware Construction Company.
The Cherry Island Marsh Company
was chartered in 1910, and the effect Of
the charter was TO have banks thrown
up to keep out the high tides of the
Delaware river and to assess against
the lands benefited thereby, share and
share alike, the expense incurred in
keeping up the banks. Such assess
ments became practically a lien against
the marsh property, and the property
subject to such charge was made ex-
empt from taxation.
This was fair to all concerned and
we'll enough for those days. But the city of
Wilmington has grown in all direc-
tions, and the pressure for an outlet to
the Delaware river, for a river front
with wharves and water deep enough
to accommodate shipping and com
mercial enterprises, is becoming
greater day by day, and the enterpris-
ing men who compose the Delaware
Construction Company do not propose
to be at the rear of the procession in
the march for Improvement If they can
help it.
The Delaware Construction Com
pany asks no fayors at the hands Of the
marsh company, but simply wants the
privilege Of paying off the proportion OF
the marsh company's Indebtedness
which can be properly charged to the
construction company, thus clearing
the title to its own ground and putting
1t in position to be ready for the march
of progress which must soon come IN
the direction of the river.
The bill will now go TO the Senate
and will no doubt be promptly passed

VIEWS OF THE AGRICULTURAL
CHIEF.


"a few minutes talk with Secretary
Wilson brings the conviction that the
new head of the Agricultural Depart
ment is a man who is practically alive
to the needs and interests of the Amer
lean farmer" says a Washington cor.
respondent, who recently interviewed
the secretary. These are very plain,
pleasant words, and they may be well
put, but before we praise or criticiss,
we had rather see something done by
the department of sufficient Importance
to call for such comment. It may be
that Mr.. Wilson is peculiarly well fitted
for the position which he holds. He
comes from a granger state, and is said
TO have followed the plow for years
himself. He should be personally IA
miliar with every phase of American
farming life, both on a small and large
scale. AS he was for several years
president of an agricultural college, he
should be conversant with the scientific
branches Of agriculture.
The secretary has outlined his policy
for conducting his big department, and
is arranging to take up a number OF
special Investigations. Before his ad.
ministration is concluded, he hopes tC
be able to give each special industry q
thorough examination. While not q
radical protectionist, he believes inmod
crate protection on all agricultural pro
ducts. Here is what he says in thi;
connection: 81 would like to see pro
tected all agricultural products tha
can be produced in sufficient quend
ties in the United States to supply tn
wants Of our people"
Secretary Wilson believes that ther
is a great foreign market open 10 ou
dairymen. This, he thinks, is a fiel
which has generally been overlooked b
Americans as being Of too little import
ance for international trade. An in
vestigation of the subject, however
shows that the butter trade with Grei
Britain and other countries offers wor
derful opportunities TO the dairymen
the United States. The new secretar
has been giving this matter some a
tention, and has found some interestiT
facts in regard to it. According to b
figures the English bought 10000
worth of butter last year, and Il
United States supplied perhaps, one p
cent. Of it, or a little over $4,000
worth; Denmark supplied over S2s
100000 worth. The United States fu
nishes the COW feed to the European
who make the butter for British co
sumption.
The secretary desires to spread
much information about this indust
among butter-makers as possible. !
