He Saw Her Home.

On n rainy afternoon not long ago
one Of the pretty young matrons OF
Connecticut avenue left the car from
which she had ridden up town and
darted through the drizzle toward her
home, few doors from the corner. She
had no umbrella. A Willie Of the char
acteristic type. who was riding In the
same car, noticed that she had no um-
brella. He was right after her with his
own umbrella up and extended.

Adds His Evidence
STORY is THE SAME AS FROM
OTHER SOURCES.
Lots of Money Spent but no Returns
Have Been Received


The people in Pennsylvania willingly
add their evidence to that which has al
ready been given in favor of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for backacbe,
kidney and urinary disorders, sleepless-
ness and nervousness. Our druggists re-
port wonderful cures and state that KID
ne-oids are daily increasing in the opln-
ion of our people. Kid-ne-oids act dl-
rectly upon the kidneys and nerves and
restore them to their natural condition.
Good kidneys make good blood, good
blood makes strong nerves, kld-ne-olds
make gooI kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr.. John Beightol, I23 Du Bois street,
Du Bois, Pa, says:-FOr years | was
troubled with kidney disorders, and dur
ing this time tried different kinds OF kid
ney remedies, but meyer found anything
that gave me relief like Morrow's KID
ne-oids. Before taking Kid-ne-oids l
suffered with a dull heavy pain in the
small of my back which would be ire-
quented by sharp shooting pain Just over
the kidney extending up the spine to
the shoulders, also urinary disturbances
of an annoying nature Since taking
Kid-ne-oids they have relieved me of
these troubles and am feeling better in
every respect. l will continue to take
Kid -ne-oids"

THE INTERN EZZO.

The light shone soft on you, my own,
With your violin pressed to your chin,
And as the room was Allied with each throbbint
tone
The angels seemed crowding In
The intermezzo so soft and sweet
That it drew from my eyes the tears
All, the echo still, SO faint and fleet,
/ catch o'er the space OF years.
You wore gown so pure and white.
At your throat glimpse OF blue.
And the stars outside, the eyes OF night,
Seemed looking in at you.
Your arm moved slowly up and down
As each throbbing string you pressed
And envied so that violin brown
Its precious place OF rest.
Each note played so pure. so true,
But full of sorrow, great and Wild,
And, pray, what grief had come to you,
Then scarcely more than little childf
Twas the mystic grief that music brings
From yiolin's vail to an organs roll;
Twas that which trembled on those strings
And passed from them TO my lspning soul
am carried back TO that night, when hear
The cave Maria' sweet and slow,
And my heart beats fast fG.' you, my dear,
As it did that night, so long ago.

NO RELATIVES HEARD FROM.

Coroner Sends the Body Of James Pierce
to the County Burying Grounds.
After an unsuccessful effort to find
relatives of the late James Pierce, who
dropped dead at Townsend Saturday
week. Coroner Vandever Friday sent
tho body of the deceased to Farnhurst,
with instructions to have it inferred in
the county burying ground. The coro.
ner has given certificate of death from
natural causes.
Pierce had been in Townsend and
Middletown and had some acquaint.
ances at those places, and from some
of them it was learned that Pierce was
supposed to have sister living in
either Jersey City or Newark, N. j.. +,
but nothing was known Of any other
relatives in this country. Deceased
was an Englishman. The coroner wrote
to Newark and Jersey City, but has moi
been able to find the sister, hence his
decision to have the body buried.

one time ownership of Charles Christie.
rher Springer and the expiration Of
99-years lease given by him. For years

officials there oil their claim, and re.
cited the story CT the lease and its
expiration, until the officials have al
mostcome to know ii by heart, So Thurs
day, Elizabeth Bowers of Baltimore,
claiming descent from the Charles
Springer OF much property appeared at
the Office Of Register of Wills Calvin
W. Crossan, and told his deputy, ID.
Taylor Bradford, of her interest in
50, 000, 600 worth of property in this
city. Mr.. Bradford referred her to
Recorder of Deeds Delaware Clark, and
the visitor told him about tire lease
and the expiration thereof, which was
soon recognized as the old story.

got the property and she said she
thought he got it from William Penn.

persons to whom he had leased it for
the 80 years which have expired.
This Springer claim is well known to
the lawyers. 1t was especially pro-
nounced 10 or 90 years ago, and at that
time the Springers came from many
sections to present their claims to a
large section Of the city. But the large
section continues to remain in the
hands of the various possessors and
they will probably never have any
difficulty on account Of the Springer
lease. At that time, Harry Whiteley
wrote pamphlet on the subject,
; showing the utter futility OF the claim.

PROPOSED LABOR TEMPLE.

The Matter Receiving Serious Considera-
ton by the United Labor League.
The matter of a Labor Temple for
Wilmington, which was mentioned
some time ago, is receiving serious
consideration on the part Of the United
Labor League, and it is likely that in
the near future definite steps will be
taken looking toward the purchase or
erection of a building suitable to the
needs of that body and the others
affiliated with it.
The league, which is the central
labor body Of the city, is composed of
nearly all of the independent labor
organizations Of the city and represents
probably 1000 men who are employed
at various trades. 1t has been grow
ing remarkably lately. That is the in
diyiuual organizations have been taxing
in new members and some new unions
have been organized, and its present
quaI ters in the Smith Building, No.
610 Market street, have become in.
| adequate for its needs. At present il
| is necessary fol several organizations tC
| hold their meetings in the same room,
| and as the quarters are not large enough
| several organizations which would like
| to have rooms there for their own ex
| elusive use cannot be accommodated.
| 1t is proposed to organize a stool
company, the stock to be taken by tn,
members of the several organizations
and with the proceeds from the sale o
stock in this manner to erect a suitable
building Some who are interested ar
favorable to the purchase Of building
and making such alterations as ar
necessary, with a view to erecting
new building at some future time. th
belief being that the expense would no
be SO great, whIle there are others wh
favor new building from the start.

Fatal Accident at the Cihymont Railroad
Crossing Thursday Morning.
George A. Cooley of Linwood, for
merly of this city, gate tender at the
p, W. & b. railroad crossing at Clay
mont, was mangled and almost instantly
killed at that place by an express train
at 1l.17 o'clock Thursday. The re-
maius we're brought to the city by order
of Coroner Vandeyer, but will probably
be sent to Linwood for burial,
Two express trains are due at Clay
mont at about IL. 10, one going north
and the other south. The southbound
train arrived first Thursday, and,
as had been his custom, Mr.. Cooley
walked near the southbound track to
reach paper which the fireman of the
engine handed out to him. He had
scarcely taken the paper when the
northbound train rounded the curve
and struck him, hurling him under
the southbound train, which cut off
both legs and mangled the body so
badly that death occurred almost in
stantly. As SOON as possible both trains
were stopped, but when it was found
that Mr.. Cooley was dead, they pro-
ceeded on their way. The body was
brought here early In the afternoon.
Mr.. Cooley was we'll known in Will
mington, having resided here many
years. He was a member Of the old
Water Witch Fire Co., of which he
was engineer, and was also member
Of Smyth Post, 6. A. II. He had been
an engineer on the railroad, but some
time ago retired from that service and
for a number Of years had been In
charge Of the gate at Claymont. He
was faithful servant and had a large
circle Of friends, especially among thuse
who had occasion to traverse the Cross
ing. He was 81 years OF age.
For many years deceased was an en-
gineer on the p, W. & b. railroad, bu
had an accident some time ago and re-
tired Of his own volition from running
and was assigned to the post at Clay
mont, which he filed admirably. 1t il
said that he never had an aociden
there. On Wednesday he was 81 year
J of age and on that day remarked to I
fireman on a passing train that he ex
pected to live to celebrate his 100ti
, birthday anniversary. He was mem
her of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
, Engineers, Soldiers and Sailors Mem

also of Wawaset Lodge, Imp'd o. r
