Folly of a "oalam,ry Campaign.

Here are some facts oollated by the
New York World which ought to
raralyze the political cranks who are
preparing for calamity campaign
for free silver coinage next year, on
the plea OF 1.-THE shrinking currency !"
In 1896, during the calamity cam
paign," the amount of money in cir
culation was 81. 506. 434, 966, or S21. 10
per capita. On the LIST of July the
amount in circulation was 81, 932, 4S4,
239, or S25. 38 per capita. Here is an
increase In the money supply in three
years Of 1926, 900, 900. How is this fol
"shrinking?"
The amount of gold In circulation
has increased fully $3.50, 600, 900 within
this time, while silver money has moi
experienced any shrinking" In 1896
the number of silver dollars coined Oh
issued was 437, 2o2, Ill, and the number
in circulation was $4,000, GOETHE re-
mainder being represented by silver
certificates. The stock of silver dollars
has increased more than $40, 600, 900 in
three years and the silver certificates
in like proportion.
Nor has the volume of paper money
sbrunk. Three years ago we had oil
greenbacks and Treasury notes Of
1890 1898, 900, 900 in circulation. We
have now more than s400, OOO 600. Ever
the national bank note circulation, in
spite of its relative unproftableness,
has increased nearly $40, 900, 900.

A 3-years-old colored boy named
Eugene Melfi of Charleston, S. c., ar
rived in this city Friday over the
p, W. & B. railroad. He is an orphan
and was sent to this city to be placed
in the st. Joseph's Home for Coored
Children, where his brother is now
cared for. He had on his coat tag
with his name and the address to
which he was consigned. He remained
in the depot several hours before the
address was found on the inside of his
coat. 1t seems that the tag had been
on the outside of his coat and became
detached and was pinned on the inside.
When Station Master Brison discovered
that the boy was consigned to the home
he dispatched a porter with the child
to the home. On his arrival there he
was greeted by his brother, who had
preceded him several months.

BOYS BRlGADERS NOT STARVED.
There Was some Trouble with the Catering
In the Early Days OF Camp.
Evarv Euanf,o laturA,y

There Was some Trouble with the Catering
In tho Early Days OF Camp.
Every Evening, Saturday.
A sensational story was printed in
Philadelphia yesterday tending to show
that the boys in tho Boys Brigade
Camp at Brandywine Springs had been
poorly fed. The fact is that from
Saturday last when the boys reached
the Springs until Monday, the food
service was unsatisfactory and had no
improvement been made, Col. Henry
f. SpIcer might have broken camp
and returned with his command to
Philadelphia.
The statement of Adjutant E. Y.
Smith to the writer shows the cause
Of the state of affairs.
Business had prevented the attend
ance OF John s. Trower, Germantown
caterer, who is in the regimental com
missary. Under those circumstances a
contract was made with caterer at
Brandywine Springs Park to feed the
camp. Had he fulfilled his promises,
officers believe there would have been
no cause for complaint but from Satur-
day, when the boys arrived, until
Monday night, the service proved
entirely unsatisfactory. Improvement
was promised, but did not materialize.
The chief difficulty was lack of help
and an inexperienced cook. The cook.
ing was done too far from camp to
allow the best service.
Col. Henry f. Spicer, who is in
command of the camp, expressed
pleasure Of the good feeling displayed
by the boys under the trying circum.
stances. The situation was improved,
through the appointment of Capt.
Julian II. Toliver, commanding Co.
Sixty nine OF the colored battalion, tc
have charge of the commissary depart.
ment His father Is caterer on North
Sixteenth street, Philadelphia. The
former contractor continued to provide
the food and Capt. Toliver supervised
its cooking and serving.
Since Tuesday morning the food has
been satisfactory to the whole reei
ment, according to Adjutant Smith.
Adlutant Smith reports that 40 boys,
| all little fellows, not more than 1:
years old, have returned home. Much
Of this may be traced to inconsistencies
Several Of the boys when asked about
the food agreed as to the unsatisfactor,
condition the first few days. One sale
the oatmeal was burnt and the mea
and potatoes were bad. His imagination
must have been rather lively, fol
according to the officers the quality o.
the food was above reproach. They
agreed as to the oatmeal.
Since Capt. Toliver took charge, tn,
boys have enjoyed their meals.
One or two thought they might b,
fatter as result Of the weeks camp
and were amused at the idea of any
being starved. Capt. Alexander of Co
Sixty two, speaking for his 40 boys
authorized the statement that the,
were especially well cared for by thu
officers of the regiment. Col. Spice
was not particularly worried by tn,
sensational reports. i
Last nights supper bill was cofnet
beef and cabbage, potatoes, bread ant
butter, coffee, rice pudding and prunes
There were two boys on the sick list
both from overeating.

THE NEEDS OF LAUREL.

Editor Gazette: Believing that
a letter, which appeared in your
paper last week, over the sigma
ture of the postmaster of Laurel, places
the undersigned relief committee in
false position before the public, we
desire to make the following statement
for publication:
On the Sunday following our disas-
trous fire the Town Council called q
massmeeting at the NJ. p. Church,
stating that there were many cases of
real distress that ought to be relieved
and requesting the appointment OF
relief committee. This committee con-
sisted OF the pastors of the three
churches and four citizens.
We investigated all cases where we
thought relief was needed. We found
much distress. Some families had lost
everything; others had saved but a
few household articles. Some had taken
refuge in barns; two families were
found in an empty warehouse, desti-
tute. Some of our young and enter
prising merchants bad lost all or nearly
all of their stock, mostly without in
surance, and yet, in the face of all
this, the writer of that letter, upon his
| own responsibility, and, as we think,
Wituoub AL huBQuhbe huOWleuBo VI Une
facts, said: 1T is an entirely mis-
taken idea that the town needs any
outside financial assistance.
While we were not instructed to
make a formal appeal to the general
| public, nevertheless, it was understood
at that meeting that the situation it.
self would make its own appeal to the
benevolently disposed. Our own town
people have responded to our appeal,
in measure, but it should be re-
membered that even the more wealthy
people were also nearly all heavy losers
by the fire aud should not be expected
to respond to the call for relief to any
considerable extent.
| The committee has received inquiries
from the mayor of Dover, the ladies of
the Century Clubs throughout the
State and others, to ascertain whether
or not relief is desired, and to answer
these and others. who may be in doubt,
we would say that we have been en-
barrassed by the lack Of sufficient
funds to meet the needs Of the cases
that have come before us, especially
to assist by a little financial aid, some
of our enterprising business men who
are seriously crippled by their losses.
| The Relief Committee.

Speaking of the regiments to be re-
cruited, the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger says: THE
Twenty eighth will be recruited in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware. This regiment will be com
manded by Col. James S. Pettit,a cap
tain of the First United States Infantry
and during the war with Spain colonel
of the Fourth Immunes. Col. Petit
graduated from the Military Academy
IN 1878 and has served in the army CON
tinuously since. He is one of the most
accomplished officers in the service, and
while free from martinetism, is noted
for being strict disciplinarian. The
young men Of Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware who enlist in the Twenty
eighth will have the good fortune to
have one Of the best of commanding
officers, one who will exact the full
measure of duty, but who will always
look carefully after their comfort and
best interests. -

uIrY couRr CASES.
Wilmington City Electric Co. Fined on the
Charca of Qhsfructinc thu SIDEWALK.

Wilmington City Electric Go. Fined on the
Charge of obstructing the Sidewalk.
The long-standing case against the
Wilmington City Electric Co., charged
with obstructing a sidewalk, was heard
in the City Court Friday morning, j.
Frank Curry said as he was passing up
Market street, on Friday evening, May
10Th, he saw an obstruction at Tenth
street in the shape OF rafters across the
sidewalk. He stepped over the first
one, but the second tripped him and
he was injured in the fall. The planks,
he said, were used as braces for electric
light poles. Mr.. Curry said after he
recovered from his injury he went to
the Office of the City Electric Co., and
after telling two men there that he
would bring an action against the COM
pany, informed them that they had
better move the instructions or they
would have more trouble. He also saw
John E. Healey, who is erecting a
building there, and Peter j. Ford, the
owner, and the latter put the matter
in the hands of the Street and Sewer
Department, the result being that the
planks were moved. Witness said his
face was badly skinned in the fall and
he believed one of his ribs was frac-

Ponder, who represented the company,
conducted the cross examipation. Con-
tractor Healey said the company put
the braces across the sidewalk to
prevent the poles from vibrating to
such an extent as to damage the walls
of the new building. A fence was
around the corner for a time, but wit

the sidewalk for about two weeks after
the fence had been torn down. Mr..
| Ponder asked the witness if the poles
did not bear cards of the police and
fire alarm telegraph system, but wit
ness did not know. Peter j. Ford saw
the planks across the sidewalk. He
made complaint about the obstruction
to man he thought was an employe
of the electric light company. Secre-
tary Harvey j. Wiley OF the Street and
Sewer Department, said in response to
Telephone message concerning an
obstruction at Tenth and Market
streets he telephoned the electric light
company to move the obstruction, and
was informed that the company would
look into the matter, and If it was re-
sponsible the obstruction would be
moved. He said the obstruction was
moved on the Monday following Fri
day, May 10Th. He had seen signs Of
the city police and fire alarm system
on both of the poles.
The court imposed fine of 81 and
required the company to pay the costs.
