If you are a young man, having
VIE or mother depending on you for
support, you should carry some life in
surance. You should carry all you pos
sibly can pay for; for If they require
your help now how much more they
would requite it If you were gone! 1t

convince men that they ought to be in.
sured Everybody of intelligence real
lies its Importance. The question OF
what form Of insurance should be
taken perplexes most men. Insurance
companies make great efforts to get
their patrons to take endowment poll
cies, combining Investment with In
surance. This is not a good form Of
policy for the man of average means
who is capable of saving and investing
his surplus in way that will suit him
best. Buy your insurance like you buy
anything else-for it's market value
You want protection. Then get the
policy that for a stated premium will
leave your wife or mother the greatest
possible amount of money in case you
die. Don't mix investment and insur-
ance. 1t pays the companies far bet
ter than it pays you, and if you can
save without doing it in that way you
can make much better use Of your saw
ings.

TROUBLE OYER TREES.
People Who Have Planted North Carolina

May Be Required TO Remove Them.

People Who Have Planted North Carolina
or Lombardy Popiars on tho Sidewalks
May Be Required TO Remove Them.
Some of the residents OF Wilmington
who have planted North Carolina or
Lombardy poplars or other trees of
that variety on the sidewalks will
probably be called upon by repre-
sentative of the Street and Sewer De-
partment in short time and requested
to take the trees up, as the department
has declared such trees to be a public
nuisance. A representative of the de-
partment says many trees have been
planted in different parts of the city
since last summer and he has been
informed that some are of the varieties
tabooed by the department. 1t will
be difficult matter to tell much about
the variety, however, until the foliage
has developed, and it is altogether
likely that the crusade will not be
commenced until that time.
One of the trees which meets with
the most favor in the eyes of the de-
partment is the Norway maple, which
is fine shade tree, ornamental and
not Objectionable. Action has been
taken against the North Carolina and
Lombardy poplars because the roots
have done much damage to sewers. In
some parts of the city the roots have
found their way for many feet to sewer
pipes, which they finally entered
through crevice and in some cases
have clogged the pipes TO such an
extent as to cause much trouble. Con-
sequently it Is desirable chat no such
trees be planted where they can do any
damage.

opathic Hospital, on which the mortage
was given, was erected by DIR. Pussy

Quoted by DIR. Head until it's sale to

Hospital uses in 1887.

those people, we simply put them on
their feet, and then give them the
benefit of that humanitarian spirit
which, as we claim, led us into the war
for the Liberation of Cuba. To this
end We should keep our troops on the
islands until their people have con-
structed governments and organized
forces of their own for the maintenance
of order. Our military occupation
should not be kept up as long as pos-
sible, but should be withdrawn as SOON
as possible; ~
and Switzerland are. in Europe, be
covered by q guarantee of neutrality on
the part of the powers most interested
in that region-an agreement which
the diplomacy of the United States
should not find it difficult to obtain.
This would secure them against foreign
aggression. As to the independent
republics of Porto Rico and Cuba, our
government might lend its good offices
to unite them with San Domingo and
Hayti in a confederacy of the Antilles,
to give them more respectable inter-
national standing. Stipulations should
be agreed upon with them as to open
ports and the freedom of business
enterprise within their borders, afford
ing all possible commercial facilities.
Missionary effort in the largest sense,
as to the development of popular educa-
ton and of other civilizing agencies,
as well as abundant charity in case of
need, will on our part not be wanting,
and all this will help to mitigate their
disorderly tendencies and to steady
their governments.
"Thus we shall be their best friends
without being their foreign rulers. We
shall have done our duty to them, to
ourselves, and to the world.''

There is much talk in the quiet town
of Middletown over the action of
the. official board of Bethesda M. f.
Church, of which the Rev. |. L. Wood
is pastor.
An orchestra has been assisting with
the church work for more than three
years and on Thursday at the meeting
of the board, without any apparent
cause or reason, there being no charges
against the members, individually or
collectively, it was decided to dispense
with the services of the "ungodly
orchestra" as it was termed.
The members of the orchestra, who
are persons of good character and
demeanori are incensed at the action
Of the hoard and one stated on Friday
that If it was deemed advisable to
dispense with the orchestra the dis
bandment could have taken place with
out reflections being cast upon the
members.
The work of the orchestra has been
gratuitous and the parents and rela-
tives of some of the members are as
much put out as the members.

. Co.'s Powsrhousc.
Wesley Broomal, aged about IS years,
of No. 2902 Market street, a painter in
the employ of the Wilmington City
Railway Co., was instantly killed
about O'Clock yesterday week at
the company g powernouse, Delaware
avenue and du Point street.
Although nobody saw the accident,
it is thought the sliding top of the
repair wagon, upon which Broomal
was working. slipped and fell on him,
breaking his neck. The lifeless form
of the young man was found on the
wagon about 4.30 O'Clock, and DIR.
John Palmer was summoned and found
that the neck had been broken.
A coroner's jury on Thursday inyesti-
gated the cause of his death and a
verdict of death from strangulation
was rendered, the supposition being
that the young man was strapgled by
an iron rod falling ON his neck.
