The law relative to those eligible to

regulating the election states that wo-
men who q. have property qualifications
also have right to vote. Yet they are
not required to be registered, and this

TWO RIVAL ATTRACTIONS.


PROPRIETOR OF MAIAN's GROVE
BRINGS SUIT AGAINST ME OWN
ERs OF sHELAPOr PARK.
There is trouble brewing between
Thomas E. Malin. proprietor OF Mains
Grove, and the Wilmington City Railway
Company, owners Of Shellpot Park,
which Saturday eliminated In a suit be-
fore Magistrate Kelley.
Mr.. Maln has had warrants sworn
out before Magistrate Kelley, charging
eight employees Of the railway company
with trespass and they are to have a
hearing today.
According to Mr.. Mains statement,
the trouble originated over the removal
OF a bridge between the railway COM
pany's property, Shellpot Park, and Mr..
Mains property 1t IS said there was
an agreement between the company and
Mr.. Mamn when the bridge was erected.
and. as the agreement had expired. the
bridge was removed yesterday. In taxi
ing the structure down II was necessary
for the workmen to go on Mr.. Mains
property, hence The suit.
Officials Of the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company claim that the cause Of
action is unfounded. They state that
the agreement between Mhlin and the
company called for the erection OF the
bridge over Shellpot creek. which d.
vldes Mains Grove from The park, and
that a clause In the agreement stated
that the structure could be removed at
any time by the company, provided that
Mr. Malin was given thirty days notice.
This notice is alleged to have been
served ON Mr.. Malin some twenty-five
days ago. and as the time had expired
and the company desired to remove the
bridge. they proceeded to do so Satur-
day.
The fact that the compact was agreed
to by Mr. Mblin the company alleges,
and that TO remove the structure, ne
upon his property, will lnvalldate any
claim he may have for trespass
The trouble is alleged by some to have
arisen over the fact that Thomas Il,
Malin. who has fine park adjoining
Shollpot Park. has decided to erect. II
addition TO the attractions already
there. an amphitheatre to accommodate
$500 people, for summer theatT!cals, and
has engaged Jesse X. Baylls. manager
OF the Grand Opera House, to TAKE
charge of II during the summer.
Mr.. Baylls has had great Heal Of ex
perience I'm theatrical matters, and pro
poses TO present nrst-class attraction.
during the season.
The railway company thought, II &
sud- that this would interfere VITA
their summer season at Shcllpot Park
and determined TO throw every obstacl
in the way OF Alalln ITO prevent tn
opening Of his park on June 10 Tn,
railway company fatty deny any sucl
assertion. The difficulty viii be ad
iusted at the hearing before Magistrate

Route .. pronoanc.d.

There are numerous excuses for the
pronunciation Of the word route, and
a man may hardly go amiss to choose
his own style. Down south they say
always rowt. In the north, among the
educated classes, we hear root. Here
also we hear. lower down, especially
among the hyphenated Americans, rut.
The Irish, even big folk, say rut. The
original Webster gives the pronuncia-
ton as rowt. with an admission of
moot. We have adopted root because
Of French leaning. The word rut,
meaning a deep track In a roadway,
cut by the rim of wheel, is simply q
contraction of route and rout. The
Century dictionary says root or rowt,
preference for root. We also say
footine for routine: why not, therefore,
root for roAte? Rowtine would sound
funny.-New York Press.
