DAUGHTERS LAST SESSION
Meeting OF the Seventh Continental
Congress Is Ended.

Washington. Feb. 2S--This was the clos
ing day of the meeting OF the Seventh
Continental congress of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. Mrs Mary S.
lockwood was elected TO the editorship
Of the American Monthly magazine, the
organ of the society.
Considerable discussion followed a mo-
ton by Mrs. Champion of Connecticut
that a tablet be placed under the por-
trait of Mrs. Harrison which hangs in
the White House, telling OF her connec-
ton with the order as its first president
general. A technical question brought up
as to whether the society had the right
to do this without permission resulted in
the reference of the matter to the ma
tional board of managers.
Some discussion of a humorous nature
followed the introduction OF what was
known as the latter business" which re-
ferred to the matter of ancestral bars
worn above the insignia OF the society
and supposed to represent the ancestors
OF the wearers who served in the Revo-
luton. 1t was participated in by Mrs.
Swift, California; Mrs. Mills. New York;
Mrs. Barbour. Brooklyn. and Mrs. Hooper.
Massachusetts. One of the speakers re-
marked that il was a funny thing that
some of the patriots wore the ancestral
bars not only for their forefathers of revo-
lutionary fame. but also for their fore
mothers. Nothing was done about the
matter and it was allowed to lapse.
An invitation was read from the man.
ayers of the Omaha exposition TO visit
there next summer.
The report of the committee on the
amalgamation of the Daughters of the
Revolution and the Daughters Of the
American Revolution was read by Mrs.
Eliza Newcomb Alexander. 1t expressed
the hope for consolidation OF the two or
CARNATIONS, and the outcome Of the dis
cussion which followed. it is expected, will
be the appointment OF a committee TO
arrange a meeting Of the representatives
of the two organizations.
A touching incident just before the adj
journment of the morning session was the
presentation OF Mrs. Stevenson, who had
reached the hall. of silver loving-cup,
the gift of the society, for which Mrs.
Stevenson returned hst thanks.
A motion was adopted that the society
be represented at the coming Paris expo
sition.

popular science, considerable additions
to the library Of American history, and
many volumes Of early English Litera-

be increased, and the best editions OF
the great poets will be purchased. The
library already contains the works Of
such poets, but in some cases in cheap
editions. The books Of American bio.

considerably increased. Books dealing
with the history Of Delaware will be
purchased when they can be obtained.
Many such books, however, are not n

THE Wilmington City Passenger Rail-
way Company passed into the hands OF
outsiders, the Wilmington City Electric
Company has been purchased by an out
side syndicate, and many OF the most
prominent business houses of this city,
run ostensibly by local people, are
owned by Philadelphia parties. These
foreigners have recognized the natural
advantages and favorable conditions sur
rounding business enterprises in this
city.
The local man who wishes to compete
with this growing foreign control OF the
local commercial world must forsake his
prejudices, renounce the bonds of indis-
position to the demands Of those around
him. The natural consequence Of the
failure to step out of the languid course
in which so many OF the local enter
prises and business houses have long
been going, will be the utter domination
of Wilmington by outsiders.

Transfer the team from Reading to
Wilmington, maintain an aggregation of

GREAT LIBRARY.
At Delaware College the General Ii.
brary Is Growing to Great Ex-
tent..For Use of All.

tent..For Use of All.
Although the pressing needs of the
Mechanical Department at Delaware
College have left little money available
this year for the purchase Of books,
nevertheless the general library OF the
college is growing. The few accessions
this year have been mainly books Of pop
ular science, and a few actually needed
for the successful conduct OF the classes
in history and literature.
The General Library is made up OF
books belonging to the departments of
English Literature, Politics, Political
Economy, History, Philosophy and
Ethics, together with strictly popular
works belonging to the other depart
mental libraries. The bulk of the books
belonging to the several departmental
libraries are, however, kept in the reci-
tation rooms of the several professors,
Books in the General Library especially
assigned for reading by students in any
department are, usually, for the time
being, removed to the recitation room of
the professor in charge of the depart
ment, SO that they shall be in no danger
of being given out to others than those
to whom they have been especially as
signed. Ordinarily, however, all the
books of the General Library are open
to the use of all the students, who may
either read in the Reading Room, where
the library is housed, or obtain permis-
sion to take out such books as they need.
Since the General Library was en-
larged and established in the present
quarters, the interest of the students in
reading has greatly increased. The
reading room, open night and day, is
seldom empty, and the best literature of
the library is freely used
1t is the wish of the College that the
library shall be useful, not only to the
students of the College but to ali persons
who may desire access to it for the pur-
pose of investigation or study and ac-
cordingly, although it is not a lending
library, any student or investigator is
freely welcomed to the reading room.

ADVERTISEMENTS represent goods. The
more accurately they represent them, the
better advertisements they are. Adver-
tlsing which misrepresents, either by ex-
aggeration or by inadequacy, is bad ad
vertising. The nearer an advertisement
can get to the plain, naked truth, the
more likely it is to be profitable. News
paper men understand that unreliabilitv
in the matter of news is worse than no
news at all. Advertisers are learning the
same lesson. They have been long in
learning it, and the tuition has been very
expensive.-Adwriter.

How many people realize that this
city has one of the best managed and
best arranged theatres in the country
devoted to vaudeville? Dockstader's
Wonderland will compare favorably
with Tony Pastors world famous house
in New York and much the same per.
formers appear at both theatres. The
high priced stars seen on the Keith cir
cult are to be seen, sooner or later, at
Dockstader's, and to the great credit of
Manager Dockstader it may be said that
nothing offensive to good taste or good
morals has ever been said or done in his
playhouse. 1t is this fact that has
crowded the house day and night for
weeks past with ladies and children.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.-It is veay prob.
able that Secretary Of the interior Bliss
will tender his resignation within short
time to the President. He has had the
step under consideration for some time
deeming it necessary that he should be
free to devote more time to his large bus
iness interests. The resignation, it can
be stated, will not be due in the least to
any differences with the President or his
advisers, but to Mr.. Bliss's reluctance for
purely private, personal reasons to con.
tlnue longer in office, rs Secretary OF the
Interior.
AT the time he entered the Cabinet It
was said semi-oficially that he did not
intend to serve out the term, but would
retire at some fitting opportunity. Itis
presumed, official announcement will not
be made until the President has chosen
Mr.. Bliss's successor.

Out Of the United states.
Z PARIS, Nov. 15.-The Spaniards affirm
their decision MOTTO sign q treaty Of
peace on terms thus far presented by
the United States. They cannot view
tho taking of the Philippines as any
thing less than wanton assumption of
their possessions unless it is accompa-.
MED by substantial financial compen-
sation of u suitable character. There
fore the Spanish commissioners will ask
the American commissioners to extend
their financial consideration. The Span
ish sovereignty in the Philippines is now
clung to as ameans to obtain financial
relief if possible. It is almost pure
matter of money now. Persons near to
Spain's heaviest creditors believe that
should the Americans assume the Phil
ippine debt or pay Spain its face amount
in cash the Spaniards would sign. Te-
nacious adherents of this belief claim
No Treaty WIN He signed
which does not state that the Philippine
revenues shall pay the Philippine debt.
The Americans saythe Philippine debt
of $40, 900, 900 amounts to $50, 600, 900 in
gold, of which ,$11. 600. 900 have been
used in fighting the United States, leav.
ing less than 10000, 600 in gold charge
able to the Philippines. Trouble will
arise before that stage is reached and
the Spaniards will inform the Ameri,
cans that they have no right to arrange
schedule of Spain's expenditure or any
exact explanation as to what disposition
has been made of the loans.
Should Spain decide to withdraw she
will make an open protest to the world
against spoliation.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily Mail says:
IA leading Carlist tells me he will be
astonished if formidable rising does
not occur in Spain within month after
the peace treaty is signed. The Carlists
have abundant supplies of money, and
my informant says that only something
very much unexpected can prevent a
rising. This appears to agree with the
news that Don Carlos has succeeded in
raising an important loan in Paris and
that wealthy Carlist families are insur-
ing their property against war risks.
II questioned prominent official at
the Spanish war Office today on the SUBJ
ject and he told me he was we'll aware
of the Carlist activity, but that the gov
ernment was even more ready than the
Carlists."
