John Grantland, one of Wilmington S
most noted characters, is dead He was
for forty years a conspicuous figure on
the streets of this city, where he went
about gathering rags. His peculiar cat
like calls for rags could be heard for
several squares. They were a menace
to citizens ears, but his pride. Fer
several years past he gathered rags in
a baby coach. He was a member Of the
Salvation Army, and always took an
interest in the meetings.

Babies must not stop eating greedily

If they do, mothers should take
alarm. Any interruption because Of
heat. loss of appetite or indigestion,
should compel the immediate attention
of mothers to baby's food. There is
where the trouble lies.
Every day of retarded growth is a
lasting setback in the child's develop
ment. A week that does not show a
gain in weight and size is lost and can
not De made up, as each day and night
during these early years has its own al
lotted growth to answer for.
Summer and Winter alike, a healthy

The People Make Leaders.

Philadelphia Times.
Senator Quay struck the bulls eve the
first shot when, in his recent interview
with Mayor Warwick, he answered the
demand for the recognition OF Warwick $
leadership in the city by the terse re-
mark: THE people make leaders. Mr..
Mayor; I do not name them"
There Is no reason why Mayor Warwick
should not be an important political factor
In the city. and the measure OF his I'M
portance will depend wholly upon himself.
IL he exercises his legitimate political
power with discretion for the interest OF
the party, and not to maintain factional
warfare for petty individual victories
which he rarely achieves. he would make
himself felt in the local politics OF the city
with or without the consent Of Senator
Quay or anybody else.
The mayor probably does not know that
many OF those who have been his closest
political associates and regarded as his
political followers. have now little inclina-
ton 10 bow 10 his leadership. They feel
that they have been most unwtsely In
volved In factional contests and compelled
10 accept defeat in struggles which. even
IL won. would have given little advantage
to them or 10 their chief They are not
demanding that either the mayor or any
body else shall be denominated as the
party leader, and the sooner the idea OF
individual leadership shall be abandoned
and reasonable concession made To the
Republican people Of the city. the sooner
will there be harm cnious and succe ssful
Republican party.

GEN. MILES WISH.

IL Is very natural desire OF Gen. Miles
10 watch the progress OF the war between
Turkey and Greece. Il is many years
since there Was such an opportunity and
meantime there have been many impor-
tant changes in the ornaments OF nations.
Even the system OF tactics has been
changed. and the Turkish army. hav-
ing been for some time under the tutelage
of German officers. will probably display
some Of the methods of that nation. The
science Of war has been more studiousiy
developed ny Germany than any other
country. and the lessons OF the Franco
Prussian war have been taken advan-
tags of.
Gen. Miles is brave soldier and has a
good record for skill as an officer, bat the
methods of thirty years ago are as anti
quated on this continent as In Europe.
II Is not that our army has been entirely
unprogressive. bat cur Improvements
have been made upon theoretical lines.

schools at which just such subjects are

freedom from the restraint of routine
would make the suggestion more sponta-
neous. and there would result a freshness
which the graduate would take with him

dence of matured thought.
One thing may be particularly noted as
fault to be remedied. 1t is the ten

children feel that is not the language Of

recitation. 1t is comparatively small
matter, but is of general occurrence.
The chief objects of the normal schools
would be as Prof. Hamiil says, to gain a
larger view of the Bible. to acquire a bet
ter knowledge OF methods OF Sunday
school work. and education in the art OF
teaching. Such classes would, we believe,
induce larger number TO engage In the
work. The training would remove the OBJ
lection many have to the embarrassment
OF the earlier experiences In class lead
ing. and the Sunday schools would be
benefited very much.
