THIEVES IN
THE LIBRARY.
They Carry Off Umbrellas
And Hats, Almost ,
Daily.

Unless tho directors Of the Wilmingt on
Institute take some step to protect the lib
rary borrowers and visitors the place will
be deserted hereafter During the past
week no less than dozen hats and q half
dozen umbrellas have boon stolen from the
rack at the library entrance and not few
OF the losers are very indignant over their
losses.
Several days ago prominent young at
torney entered tho library and In compli-
ance with the rules Of tho institution he
placed his hat on the receptacle near the
door for the purpose. He remained in the
building half an hour and when no start
cd toward tho door he noticed well dress
cd and seemingly intelligent men pick up
his hat. The lawyer followed the thief re
covered his hat. but allowed the man to
60 without ever demanding why he had
taken hat that did not belong to him.
This was. perhaps, the only time any
one has seen man steal hat from the
library and had he been prosecuted tho
practice would have been broken up. But
he was not, and tho thievlng consequently
continues. Only Monday several hats and
umbrellas were stolen from the place and
borrowers at the library now declare
that unless the library management al
lows hem to keep umbrellas and hat in
their possession while in tho building, or
check the articles they will not patronize
the place. 1t Is probable that the directors
will adopt the plan of checking hats, UNI
brellas and other articles.

MIS-. Anna Duling Dies
From The Effects Of Eat
ing Glass. ,

Mrs Anna Duling, Of 1908
Tatnall street, died suddenly
this morning. All the facts
that can be gathered points to
her death a ascase of suicide. 1t
is supposed that she ate some
broken glass two or three days
ago Eor the past few days
she complained Of cramps but
refused to let her relatives sum
mona doctor. She was taken
violently i'll this morning and
DR.. Mullen was summoned but
before his arrival death had re-
lieved her of her sufferings.
Deputy Coroner Giles was no
tilted and a post mortem will be
held this afternoon. Mrs. Dull
ing was 30 years of age. and
was the wife of VIM. Duling, a
Philadelphia furniture dealer.
Several years ago she was an
inmate of the Insane Asylum at
Norristown, Pa. Later she was
taken to her home as she show
ed signs Of improvement aud
it was thought she was cured.
Some time ago she felt her
mind beginning to become un
balanced and she requested to
be sent to a local hospital for
treatment. After being there
for a short period she was talk
en- home and kept under sur
veilance. Mrs. Duling during
the past few years made two
unsuccessful attempts at sui
eide. On one of the occasions
she drank an overdose CT laud
mum at another time tried as
phyxiation. Her sister-in-law
discovered some small pieces of
broken glass on the dresser.
Owing to the fact that Mrs.
Duling complained OF cramps
suspicion was aroused that
perhaps the woman had swal
lowed some of the glass. When
spoken to about having done so
she denied it and said she had
no cause to eat glass. Mrs.
Duling was a Jewess and was
reared in Philadelphia. She
had been married about eleven
years.

Cabins In Danger.

The attention Of the Government
will be called to the speed at which
vessels come up the Christiana river.
There are number of cabins along
the shore in which fishermen reside
and they are in danger of being
washed away. The rapid gait at
which the boats come up the river
causes the water todash around the
cabins and in recedirg the banks
are being washed away.
