THE evil Of large combinations Of
capitalists may heretofore have been
greatly magnihed Few men can
command the funds needed to con-
struct immense plants to turn out
products that can be sold in com.
petition with the mammoth concerns
that now exist in other countries.
Hence trusts are formed and big
shipyards and factories are being
built. individuals may be crushed
out, butprices will be kept down by
foreign competition. We must have
a great aggregation Of capital to
compete with our rivals, The trusts
complained about may, therefore,
prove beneficial instead of detri-
mental. Certain it is that trusts
are proving advantageous to many
kinds of business. At present the
prices are moderate and the pros
pect is that they will continue so.
Never before has business been con-
Quoted on such large scale and
never before has there been such
immense productions of all kinds of
goods. The people generally are
employed and if business is not
0verdone and failures follow, such
advancement in wealth and popula-
ton as will be seen the coming year
has never been equalled in our
country's history

THAT much talked ct dollar din
ner given under the auspices Of the
Democratic League Of Brandywine
Hundred. came off in Shellpot Park
pavilion last evening. Some eighty
Democrats attended. Numerous
we'll known, familiar faces in the
Democratic ranks we're not to be
seen around the festive board. At
ter the eatables had been slowed
away, ringing free silver speeches
were made by ex-Congressman Han
DIV, Edward D. Hearn, Of George
town and John G. Gray. Handy and
Gray dwelt on the possibilities of
the Democratic party being trium-
plant in 1900. William Jennings
BRYAN will be the Presidential cam
didate again at the next election.
The affair was simply an overall
one, the absence Of the swallow-tail
element being noticeable and COM
mented upon. The affair had not
the same Democratic enthusiasm
the house warmingof the Democrat
ic League had when they gave the
reception at Fourth and King
streets. The Democratic party in
Delaware is evidently not harmoni-
GUS. Numerous well known Demo
cratic leaders were not present.
Whether they received cards of i'll
vitation and were unable to attend
because Of previous engagements
or whether they were overlooked
when the invitations were sent out,
Is a question. The fact remains
that Patrick Neary was not among
those who sat down at the table.
Letters of regret were read from
Gov. Tunnel and Willard Sauls-
bury. How different it would have
been if the dinner had been given
in the rooms of the Young Men S
Democratic Club. From observation
there is a good sized split in the
Democratic party of Delaware.

ranged by the physical culture department.
and included a paper on physical culture
by Mrs. Fac Smith. The paper was de-
lightful one and was followed by practical

fessor Miles also kindly gave magnIfE
cent exhibition of Indian club swinging

several times by the enthusiastic applause
of the ladies'. Miss Carrie Handley was the

At the close of this delightful feature the

made some very amusing remarks in regard
to the tyrant fashion and stated that at
this meeting there would be a question con-
sidered II in wet weather women could
wear short skirts.
Those women" she said, "who prefer
to drag their long skirts over muddy

1t was Miss Annie Kennedy, of the Monte

the rainy day costume. 1t is to be intro
duced at the Montevallo school, and Miss
Kennedy advocated its adoption in for
chile manner Mrs. Elizabeth Lyle Saxon

days. The discussion was ended by mo-
ton put BY Mrs. Fanny Gerry Wilder to
the effect that a petition be framed and
signed by one hundred women favorng
rainy day costumes. Mrs Wilder, who Is IA
Boston woman, spoke of the Boston Rainy
Day club.
