cIssY AND HEP WINK

For the past year the citizens Of
Wilmington have been reading a great
deal about Cissy Fitzgera.ds wink, but
as yet ii has not been seen here, and
they have had no opportunity to find
out for themselves just what its re-
markable qualities are. 1T is said TO
have q marked hypnotic effect upon
many, and 10 be very alluring TO all
and the announcement that it will
positively be seen at The Opera House
next Friday night has aroused a large
amount of anticipation. Miss Fltz-
gerald is from all accounts, the fOrtu-
nate owner OF the most remarkable
wink that, in a BOwery classic, ever
happened" and when her wonderful
faculty was first brought into play in
"a Gaiety Girl" at Daly's, in New
York, it became the talk OF the metrOp-
oils. The beautiful English girl had
not been In New York forty-eight
hours before she discovered that she
was worth far more than she was get
cling. She had been feeling very well
satisfied with her salary OF $50 a week.
but when a prominent manager offered
her five times that sum to appear in
THE Founding" she began to realize
that originality w-s far better appreci-
ated in this country than in England.
Since then Miss Fitzgerald has become
one OF the most importaut Theatrical
stars in America. and her fame has
spread throuahOut the country, and
even back 10 England, for she returns
to London in April TO fulfill a Ave years
contract. And All this came about

EDDYSTONE ORDIRsECE IRYsLID
COURT REFUSED TO SUSTAIN IT
BECAUSE OF THE UNREASON-
ABLE PENALTY.

Media, March 23-Judge Clayton
refused in the Common Pleas Court
here yesterday, to sustain the validity
OF an ordinance passed by the bor-
ough Of Eddystone to compel the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company to erect safety
gates at Saville avenue crossing in Ed
dystOne His refusal was because Of
the unreasonable penalty which the or
diancs impcsll for each violation by
the railroad company for running its
trains through the town at a greater
rate of speed than twelve miles an
hour. The penalty was 800 for each
Offense.
The ordinance was passed about
two years ago, but the raiircad COM
p2ny paid no attention to it, neither
by erecting safety gates nor in running
their trains at q lower rate of speed.
Suit was therefore brought TO have the
validity of the ordinance tested and to
have The company erect safety gates,
and, if possible, collect the fines for
violation of the twelve mile an hour
clause
After the evidence was all in, Judge
Clayton gave binding Instructions to
the jury to find for the railroad com
pany on account Of the unreasonable
penalty attached to the ordinance. w.
B. Brooma;l argued that the penalty
clause ought TO be sufficiently large to
aotract the attention Of offending cor
porations.
The court said that, II the ordia1ce
was sustained, it would give the bCr-
ough the opportunity to sit by for six
years, and then bring suit fer each VIC
lation Of the ordinance. 1t was shown
that 115 trains a day passed Saville
avenue, most CT them without stopping,
and the Court figured IL out that. in
six years, with the penalty IN force, the
railroad company would be indebted to
The borough in the sum Of about SlS,-
600 COO, or a great deal more than the
entire borough Of Eddystone is worth.
Judge Clayton said it was equal TO in
nictlng capital punishment, when a
spanking was all that was necessary.

ENTITLED TO PUBLIC AID.


If Delaware Hospital is to be run
properly and successfully, It must have
financial backing sufficient to meet all
inst and reasonable demands upon its
treasury. II is not an institution main-
tained fer private profit, but occupies
an honored position in the field Of pub
lie and gratuitous benefaction.
Complaint that no aid is received
from City Council and the Levy Court
Is fully justified by the parsimony OF
those two bodies in dealing with an in
stitution OF which they are making
such liberal use without giving any
thing whatever in return.
We wonder that the Board Of Man
ayers has not raised the point long be-
fore this. 1t is an evidence of COM
mendable and business-like determine
tlon not TO permit the city and county
to longer enjoy the privileges Of the
hospital unless they contribute some
thing TO It's maintenance.
For these public bodies TO refuse to
make reasonable appropriations Is
short-sighted policy and detrimental TO
the public interest. for those patients
who are turned away by the hospital
win have to be treated at public ex-
pense elsewhere.
The hospital cannot be expected TO
impair It's endowment fund and run
into debt merely to give City Council
and the Levy Court opportunity to fur
ther evade their moral obligations in
