"a BOWERY Girl. /"

The above is the title of Harry Will
liams' enormously successful play.
There is but one Bowery located in the
minds of the people, and that name has
bee made famous in song and verse
the world over, "A Bowery Girl" Some
imagine her a rough tough, uncouth
object of aversion. But those theatre
goers who visit the Opera House next
Friday night will come away with their
ideas completely metamorphized for
there they will see a natural portrayal
of the New York Bowery girl. She
may not be an adept in parlor etiquette
she may not possess the artificial airs
and graces of a society belle. but she
does possess a heart that is as big as
a mountain, an eye that is as quick as
lightning, and an arm as strong as iron
in the defence of those she loves. Miss
Ada Lee Bascom, the authoress of "A
BCwery Girl" has woven a story OF
love and romance around this creation
Of her work that serves to retain the
rapt attention of the audience from
the beginning to the end of the story.

The following special from Reading
is of interest to Wilmington baseball
cranks: There is no basis for the story
sent out that Denny Long, who man
aged the Wilmington Atlantic League
team last season. will play in Reading
this year instead of Wilmington The
Union Traction Company was ap-
preached by Mr.. Long some time ago to
back the club. The officials of that or
ganization said that they have not seen
Long lately and that they would put no
money in baseball. They will give SER
vice. but will stop there. They, there
fore. know nothing about the proposed
transfer. When it was inquired at the
Reading Trust Company whether long
had leased the Reading ball grounds,
Eleventh and Amity streets, the an
swer was that the name of the lessee
would not be disclosed. 1t is thought
to be Jack Milligan Ben H. Zerr says
he does not believe the story. He states
that this city will have a club this
year, but that he.Zerr, will be manager.

the United States lighthouse inspector
replace the gas buoy at the Elbow OF

the buoy can be taken up and replaced
again when it disappears. 1t is badly

MOONRISE AT REHOBOTH.
BY C. Edwin Eckles.

Up from the dark'ning waste OF sea,
Crossed by the brown cloud-bars,
The full, red moon sends towards the

A path of light like twinkling stars.
The billows swell in the moons bright
path.
And glow with an orange light.
Shor'ward they roll and break in wrath
On the stretch of silvery white.
Idly a sail goes drifting by.
Far cut in the misty light,
Where melts in on the sea and sky
Under the ruddy Queen of Night"
And high above the sands that CLEAN
Like a spectre on the lea,
Henlopen sends it's radiant beam
Afar on the Summer sea.

OTHER IN PUBLIC.
Harold sudell, the aggressive Single
Taxer who was sat upon at the Com

usual genial disposition when seen at

very near rushing through the meeting.
and was only thwarted by the ever
convenient motion To adjourn, Mr..
Sudell said
"lf the club really desires to boom
the town and has no axe TO grind, IL
must favor my resolution, as It un-
d0uhtodly would tend to stimulate the
growth of our city and would dissent
nate the benefits TO all alike Here is
the resolution:
q I'VE, The citizens Of New Castle. be-
ing in town meeting assembled for the
purpose OF considering means for i'm
proving our city, promoting its busi-
ness and increasing its wealth. and
Whereas, The exemption from taxa
tiOn OF enterprise, industry and thrift
would have these effects.
Therefore. Be it resolved, that we
do petition the General Assembly Of the
State Of Delaware to exempt from tax
alton all improvements occupations
and products of labor within the limits
OF our city"
Manufacturing plants in Baltimore,
Maryland, are exempt from taxation,
and the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of that city declares that
the exemption has been one of the
greatest sources of prosperity to Balti-
more, and that the impetus thus given
to establishment and extension of
manufacturing industries in our city
has far exceeded in value the taxes
