MERRYMAKING came near being
turned into mourning last evening
at the Christmas exercises at Union
al. Z. Church. The platform upon
which only twenty children were
seated, gave way. Several of them
received slight injuries and it was
lucky no more we're injured Why
the platform should have been put
up so carelessly, is a mystery.
Platforms should be erected with
an eye to strength and 1t would be
just as well if the Building lnspec-
tor should be consulted before plac-
ing the lives of little children in
jeopardy. Luckily the affair was
no worse. The platform was built
of hemlock boards and the weight
Of twenty children snapped them
off like pipe stems. Somebody is to
blame for this accident, which
should not have occurred.

THERE'S a disposition to increase
the salaries Of all Of our public Off
Gals. According to what other
men receive in the way of salaries
for performing the same work tor
private individuals, the average
office holder is more than well paid.
It is all right to increase salaries
if the revenues of the city increase
in proportion, but such is hardly a
fact in Wilmington. The whole
trouble is that the expenses Of our
city government have been steadily
on the increase tor the last twenty
or more years. City taxes have
been raised as high as the tax COL
lectors dare raise them and every
means have been adopted TO gather
more revenue until the real estate
IN our city has about all the taxes
piled on it that it can stand. Rents
had been lowered during the Cleve-
land times until real estate was one
of the poorest and most undesirable
investments to put ones money in.
This year the rents OF small houses
which were reduced four years ago
will be raised from 81 toss a month.
The demand for small houses was
never greater.

SENATOR MASON'S WARNING.
Notifies Republican Party Tint He
May Step From Under and
Let 1t Drop.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-William E, Mason,
junior United States senator from Illinois.
declared to-day that he would resign if
the Republican national convention in 1904
did not declare against criminal aggres-
sion in the Philippines. Mr.. Mason even
went SO far as to say he would resign if
the convention favored Offering the Fill
pinoS canned freedom" as he thought it
might do. There must be no evasion on
the vital issue Of pure and unadulterated
freedom or the senator will step down and
out.
Then Mr. Mason proposes to stand for
a reelection to see whether the Illinois
general assembly sides with him or with
the policy of the Mckinley administra-
ton.
i have talked the matter over with my
wife and a few intimate friends. said
Senator Mason. Il will not talk for pub
lcation on the policy OF our administra-
tion in the Philippines until after congress
convencs and the question comes before
that body. | am opposed to criminal ag
SresSion. but not to expansion. If it de
velops that l am not in touch with the
people who made me their senator. there
would be only one thing for me TO do
resign and give the party a chance to Sc
lcct another for the last two years of
my term.
Il will serve through the coming session
and wait until the national convention
enunciates its PLATFORM. II probably will!
offer the Filip!nos canned freedom If the
platform on this issue does not meet my
views l will resign But l want to serve
notice right now however, that I shall be
a candidate for reelection"

something unforeseen should prevent, the
next national convention Of the ". c. T
L. will be held in Washington, d. c. sem
timent practically unanimous in favor of
that city exists In the executive commit
tee Of the national union. to which body
the convention delegated the duty of fixing
a place and time for the convention of
1850. y meeting of the executive committee
was held to-day at which the committee
gave expression Of its preference for Wash

The executive committee decided. among
other things. to maintain an active lobby

MAY STOP HILLMON TRIAL.
Through TechnicnIity in Plaintiffs
Petition Defendants Demurrer
Mny BE Sustained.

LEAVENWORTH. KAS.. oct 26.-(Spe-
cial) The celebrated Hillmon case. now
being tried in the United States circuit
court. Is in danger of being thrown out of
court on a demurrer. When the prosecu-
ton finished its case to-day one of the
counsel for the insurance companies
moved a demurrer to the evidence in be-
half of both companies. and the court was
inclined to sustain ii. but deferred argu-
ment until Friday morning.
The grounds upon which the motion is
based are that the plaintiff, in bringing
the case into the federal courts. had
failed to state that il was brought by Il
citizen of one state against citizen of
another. The defense urged however
that the facts of the corporations being
of another state were stated explicitly in
the insurance policies, and begged leave to
put Mrs. Smith tHlllmonJ upon the stand
10 state that at the time OF bringing the
suit she was 1t resident of Kansas
Mrs. Hillmou finished her evidence for
the prosecution about i:3G o'clock when
the prosecution rested its ease. Her evi-
denCe this afternoon was as to mole upon
the back OF ilillmUn. mole being about
the only point OF Identification found at
the post mOrtrm upon the body.
Judge Hook ruled out the evidence of
DR.. Patterson, dentist of Lawrence who
made plaster cast of the mouth of the
body. If the demurrer is Overruled the
case Will consume not less than two more
weeks.
