young Duke Of Manchester and Miss

groom, the Wedding was extremely
quiet. The Misses Helena and Ef6e
Evans. auuts Of the BRIDE, waited on
her. Ernest Lambert and Lionel Eau:
del Phillips, the dukes most intimate
friends, attended him. ..

PLANS A REDUCTION.


seeretsry Gags Fis6s:: on decrease in
War Tax. "s.s: ....~
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Gage will probably rec.
ommend a reduction Of not more than
SIS, ,0oO, 900 per year in the war revenue
taxes.
:.Estimates. are now being made"
said Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Wilson, "on basis Of repeal Of all pro-
prietary stamp taxes and repeal of doc.
umentary stamp taxeg and notes, mort.
cages. telegrams and express receipts"
The commissioner will submit a re.
port to Secretary Gage at once on the
proposed repeal Of these taxes, showing
as nearly as possible how much revenue
would be out off by each one. The re-.
peal of the proprietary stamp tax will
reduce the revenues by about Is, ,000. 900
per year, but it is impossible to make
such close estimate as to the amount
that will be cut off by the. repeal of
other taxes. Strong efforts win be
made to have the beer tax reduced, but
it is not. believed the condition OF the
treasury will admit Of such reduction.

In POOR HEALTH.
This Has Caused Superintendent
David w. Harlan to Resign.
He Has Been at the Head of the Pub
lie Schools of This City for
Twenty-nine Years and is an
Exceedingly Popular
Official.

The resignation of David w. Harlan
as superintendent of public schools will
be presented at the next meeting of the
Board of Education. The resignation
has been in the hands OF President Shor'
lidge for several days, and is to take e.
feet on August 80. He takes the step ON
account OF his health.
He came to Wilmington in 1877 and
accepted the position OF superintendent,
which he has continued to fill until
now. 1t is due largely to his efforts that
the curriculum in the schools has reach
ed the prese at high standard.
Superintendent Harlan is exceedingly
popular and many people regret that he
feels compelled to sever his connections
with the schools with which he has been
identified so long. Before coming to
Wilmington he was principal Of the
schools at New Castle.
During the last few years he has been
assisted by Miss Mary @. 1. Williams,
who was appointed assistant superin.
tendent by the board. He also has an
Office assistant, Miss Corbit.

MR.. ADD|CKS WILL

FOR A FEM DAYS
National Committeeman Feels
the Effects Of Strain of
Contest Fight.
VISITED SEVERAL LEADERS
While in Wilmington Yesteaday the
State Leader is Assured of Sup
port by Those Who Have
Heretofore Been Termed
Anti-Addicksites.

National Committeeman j. Edward
Addicks was in the city yesterday. He
was here merely on a visit to political
friends. He discussed the situation in
Delaware politics and predicted that
Mckinley and Roosevelt will carry this
State by large majority.
Mr.. Addicks is feeling the effects of
the strain in carrying on the fight against
the Republican bolters which was
brought to successful issue in Philadel.
phia this week. He said yesterday that
he proposes to rest awhile at his resi-
dence at Claymont.
Accompanied by Colonel d. P. Barnard
the national committeeman visited the
Court House, calling on Sheriff John T..
Taylor and Deputy Sheriff Francis S.
Bradley. From all sides the State leader
WIS assured OF support for the Union Re-
publican ticket this fall. While in the
sheriff's office Richard G. Buckingham
and Benjamin Eastburn two Mill Creek
hundred politicians, formerly identified
with the Anti-Addicks movement as
sured National Committeeman Addicks
that they are we'll satisfied with the de-
cision of the Philadelphia National Con-
yention. They will support the official
heSPu1AiS"h PhiVy VI OViohaiC III thO
present campaign.
Mr.. Addicks visited Captain E. L.
Rice, Jr., who was the marshal of the j.
Edward Addicks Republican Club in
Monday nights parade. The national
committeeman expressed his belief that
the large number of Union Republicans
in line was indicative of the increased
vote to be polled by that party in New
Castle county.
Later in the day Mr.. Addicks met sew
Ieral of the party leaders in this city. All
seemed pleased with the prospects OF a
successful campaign.
AS to the report that Mr.. Addicks had
made to the du Pont Republicans the
Same offer of compromise since the con.
vention as had been made when the con-
test was before the National Committee,
he said that nothing of the kind had
been done. Mr.. Addicks remarked that
/ he had no authority to do such thing
Anything that may be done must be
done regularly by the State Committee
representing the party.
Just before leaving for Claymont Mr.
! Addicks visitrd the Federal building
| Postmaster Browne was not in his oilict
and the national committeeman left towr
without seeing him.

The Stage was beautifully decorated with
plants and fl ,wers and displayed on the

FogwelPs essay on class history was
very entertaining, as was also Miss
Rachel M. Kolck's paper on the same
subject.
One of the most interesting features OF
the whole program was the presentation
of the class banner by Leon X. Lofman
of the 1900 class, to Gerald Dougherty of
the 1901 class. Mr. Lofman made short
and appropriate address on presenting
the banner and Mr.. Dougherty respond
ed with few pleasing and entertaining

complete success, and deserves the
thanks OF the amusement seeking public
for the varied, unique and clever enter
tainpents he has provided which have
contributed so largely to the success OF
the carnival.
Origin of the Street Fair.
The old adage 'Great oaks from little
acorns grow" is truly exempIifie6 in the
wonderful development of the plans of
the grand Elks' Street Fair and Carni-
val.
Germany for years past has had her
"Yahr Market" where wares were ex-
hibited upon tine streets, and merry
making was the order OF the day. sunny
Italy has had her flower festivals and
feasts, as our own New Orleans has had
fer years her wonderful Mardi Gras and
carnival events.
Almost every nation of the earth has
had her different forms of entertainment
for the public, while DelaNaieans we're
fencing in their couatrv, and calling
upon the people to cave the city, go to
these pastures and pay handsomely to
see their exhibits.
Some years ago, awakening to the
value to cities OF entertainment for our
people, various cities began holding
fairs, carnivals, etc, On their streets.
Thus s.. Louis las her "Neiled
Prophets" Kansas CITY her festivals Of
''Pallas Athene," Los Angeles her
Glover Parades," many other cities
their street fairs, and some their ioaa
shows, New Yofk and Chicago their
jnbiets. But it remained for Wim!agton
the pride of the little diamond State, to
combine all these many beautiful and
interesting features, investing not only
thousands of dollars, but valuable, yea
inestimaSle time Of host OF her most
respected business men. in an effort n
ontdo all these al d give the grandest
entertainment OF this or any other age.
