THE: ANGEL OF HOPE.

1build my home in the hearts of those
Who sit in the shaded ways.
! flash sign from the sunset skies.
From the last Of the cleaning rays,
And the west grows dear and beautiful,
And the trembling hands grow strong.
And the locks Of gray are gilt with gold,
And the whisper Of song
Brcathes DER the troubled sleep Of ago.
And the morning seems not far.
And lwrite word Of hope and love
On the face Of yonder star,
And tho sleeper turns with a farof smile
In the dreams Of long ago,
And no stands again with the loved and lost
Meath the witching mistletoe,
And the wedding bells como back for him
From the grave long sodden DER,
And the songs Of distant seraphim
Float from the farther shore.
This is my message-horo my home
An arh-a place Of rest,
For the lips that cheer and the hands that
heal
Arc The lips md hands most blest!

City Council,

City Council Ia aftAr the street cars and
claim they have right to pay tax. The
Legislative Committee of Council held a
conference with City Solicitor Conrad lost
night.
| The special bill under consideration by
Council at its conference last night was
f; Tho one to give the city one-half Of the
I; liquor licenses colecsed here The passage
OF THIS bill Will DO urged by Council be,
fore 1t presents other measures, as the
counciimen do not want to overload the
comtnitsee with too much work nt:oncs.s
The councilman have several other bills
which they propose to present to tho LceIs
lnture. and all Of them are aimed to in.
crease Tho revenues Of ths city,. :.
One measure that will probably be pre-.
pared soon is to compel the Wilmington
City Railway Company to pay something
for the use of the streets. This bill Is like.
ly to provide that the railway company
shall turn certain percentage ofits gross
earnings into the city treasury. SIMILAR
laws arc enforced In many cities through
out the country, and tits claimed by the
councilmcn that this city should have the
same benefits as other Cities When tho
railway was in its infancy and was not
making money 1t would have bcun wrong,
they say, to have taxed the corpora lon
Tor 1t was improving the city, but now
that it Ia able to pay dividends, it 10
claimed that it should pay fer the franz
chlses 1t holds.
Tho councilmen expect that tho bill
will be fought, but the city fathers dc.
Glare that, as they believe they have the
support ofa largo majority of the citizens,
they will fgh. vigorously Tor its passage.
Should such bill fail to pass tho council.
men declare that they will still have an
opportunity to have the railway pay for
its privileges. While 1t may be impossible
for the city to license the cars the council.
men claim that they have the power to say
they can bs taxed and can levy tux on
each street Car run in the city.
Some uf the councilmen shave another
plan to raise revenue for The city. It il
argued that there arc many foreign fire
insurance companies doing business here
who pay practically nothing for the privi-
lege. 1t is asserted That n law should be
passed similar. to that In operation in other
cities, to compel foreign companies to pay
something towards tho main enance of the
fro department., which annually saves
Thousands Of dollars for the companiass
It's more than likoly that bill making
such provisions will DO introduced into
the Legislature.

There are some Indians, not many,

Formerly, when the wholesale house of the
city supplied an Indian storekeeper on
credit, it took long odds on his honesty, for
until recently tho rcd man could not be
sued. Nevertheless in the past the losses
were not so heavy as might have been sup
posed. A lawyer who had marked success
with hard collections in the territory told
this as fairly illustrative of his strange OK
periences when Indians belonged to other
nationalitios and could not be reached by
court processes:
"a certain house in st. Louis had been
selling goods on credit to an Indian who
went by the name of Mr.. Lineup. Sud
denly it lost track Of the customer At
that time the ST. Louis firm had credited
him to the amount of nearly $4,000. But
while Lineup dropped out Of tho FIRMS

tho territory began to come in from GUS

and who gave his name as Littlepidgc.

associates were thunderstruck. They
expected an explosion. at least. but
FineMy remained calm and dignifed,
although triae pale "Then he will
resign" they thought. but Finerty
walked out and made no sign To the
surprise Of every one. he reported the
next day as usual and turned in an alb
stract of the sermon. Every one read it
on Monday morning, and it was GER
tainly an eloquent and carefully report
cd sermon.
That afternoon a man Of clerical cut
called on the city editor and asked to
see the young man who had reported
his sermon the morning before. Mr..
Finerty was introduced. The man of
the clerical cut would like to see Mr..
Finerty alone for few moments. Out
in the hallway he asked. "Of course,
you were not at my church yesterday
morning9"
''No." replied Finerty.
"Well, l simply stopped to thank you
for the sermon. 1t was far more clo-
quent than the one preached

And Sussex pines do bend,
When faker writer's show
How the fight will end.
There's timber in Delaware plenty
With the lawyers and doctors galore
Not to et-the position go empty,

Sure if "Citizen Willie" can't win it
Nor "Ben" with his beautiful tile,
Perhaps 'Micky Byrne can chin it,
With his gay little Donegal smile.
There's Anthony, one Of blandest,
And DUPONT Of gay Squirrel Run,
With dear little Brownie the grand
est,
And Bach the Dutch son of a gun.
And Addicks with all his rhino,
Expects now to carry the day,
But who'll be elected damifno,
Higgins, Addicks or Senator Gray.
Wise men often got pointers,
From fools in time Of need,
The Regular and Hnion disjointers
At Farnhurst will take heed.
A Senator they will elect,
Sure two and two are four,
The chance they'll moi reject,
