LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE
TREATED HIM LIKE A BRoTHEF

TREATED HIM LIKE A BROTHER
To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: The brother of James Mitchell
most emphatically denies the state
ment made by him on Saturday night
last to Patrolman Schell and others in
regard to cruel treatment and putting
him out OF doors. James Mitchell only
lived with his brother about two weeks
and a half; then he worked at Blu
menthals morocco works. His bro
ther tried to persuade him not to go
from his work with the strikers one
Monday at noon time, but he did not
take his advice, and left his work. That
evening his brother coaxed him to go
10 his work the following morning and
he said he would His brother left the
house next morning while James was
eating breakfast, and his brother has
not seen or heard from him since, un-
iii he saw the statement in the Sunday
Herald, and he is ready to prove al
any time that he always treated him as
a brother should be treated

DANGEROUS PLAYGROUND

GATEMAN WORRIED FOR FEAR

The gateman at the west and Water

Jumping trains even after dark and some
of them are scarcely large enough 70

TOWNS AND WATER WORKS.

II is a sad commentary upon the in
telligence Of the inhabitants OF several
towns ON this Peninsula that 20 much
difficulty is experienced I'M installing
water plants therein. Lack OF water
and fre-fghting appliances has result
cd In several OF our most charming
Peninsula towns being devastated by
flames, and yet the object lesson never
appears 10 impress Itself forcibly upon
many persons In other towns just as
liable to such "a visitation of the great
devouring element. The latest Penin-
sula town to be agitated on this ques-
tlon is Chestertown, the metropolis Of
Kent county, Md. "A bill has been intro
duced I'm the Maryland Legislature au-
thorizing the bonding OF the town for
several thousands Of dollars to defray
the expense OF putting in water works.
There is a clause in the bill which
provides that the citizens of the town
shall vote on the question before any
thing is done, but that democratic reser-
walton does not suit the conservative
element Of the town, which would kill
the bill In it's entirety, doubtless realfz-
ing that It is the viii OF the people
that water works be provided, and that
an election would be but the formal re-
cording Of that will.
Here in Delaware we have several
towns which are provided with excel
lent water plants. Some OF them were
put in after a most bitter fight against
conservatism, which buttressed itself
behind the old stock phrase Of "in-
creased taxation and gross extrava,-
gance." New Castle, Middletown, New
ark, Smyrna, Dover and Milford are
all we'll supplied with water, and we
are confident that the men who so bold
ly stood out against the introduction of
the plants when the matter was first
agitated. would be the last to vote to
take them out.
so 1t will be with Chestertown after
its citizens have come TO enjoy the
guarantees of safety and the many
conveniences which accompany a
water works loan honestly applied.
