If all revolutions had brought forth
such salutary results as the one in this
city in 1898, they would be regarded
as blessings. The letter of President
z. C. Holt, OF the Delgado mill is in
evidence as to the benefits of the re-
suits in November 1898, in the matter
of the erection of a large superior cot
ton mill with more to come. If condi-
tons as they existed in 1898, had con-
tinueG there would have been no quar-
ter of a million or a half million in
vestment in Wilmington. Other invest
ments no doubt have the same APP
plication-they are the result of far
better conditions. We do not doubt
that today there are a half dozen or a
dozen nice residences here that would
never have been built but for the great
changes wrought in 1898. People who
nves wisely, discreetly must have
guarantee of proper protection and the
enforcement Of law.

CONDITIONS OF A CARRIAGEWAY.
Complaint Made to Commit ssiOners by
Mr.. LansdaIe.


Mr.. E. G. Lansdale of 2T2O NJ street re-
Gently complained to the District Commits
sioners that the carriageway in front Of his
premises is in a very bad condition. He
stated that the pavement has settled so
that there is always pond of water stand
ing. which is made filthy by the washings
of the street above. The settlement begins.
he charged, some distance above, and is
especially bad IN front OF his premises. Mr..
Lansdale therefore asked that the pave
ment be raised.
1t Is stated IN a report made to the Com
1nissioners by the computing engineer, Mr..
c. B. Hunt that repairs such would cor
rect the conditions complained of by Mr..
LanSdale have been found by experience to
be ineffective. except that the entire stree.
be resurfaced, a proceedings which is not.
says Mr.. Hunt justified at present. The
conditions, he explains, are those of a very
slight longitudinal grade which results in
failure to drain certain small quantities
of water along the gutter. These conditions,
he says, are found elsewhere throughout
the city. especially Capitol Hill, and
must of necessity, he thinks. be toerat ed
He says further that considerable amount
of money was spent on this gutter some
time ago IN an effort to modify the condi-
lions. but unsuccessfully.
1t IS understood that the complaina Mt will
be informed by the Commissioners in ac-
cordance with Mr.. Hunts report.

2 Special Velvet Values,

gal Lancers, was sent out to feel the region
and report as to the strength of the town
to be attacked. He approached the bridge
with couple of men, leaving the main
forces concealed in a millet field, which
grew to the walls Of the town. Emerging
from the field, he found himself al the gate
of the village. Making the best of it, he
went boldly in and was received by the
head men with the assurance that they
We're not enemies of the foreigners. As
proof of this assertion they pointed to
CHASTITY row of forty human heads impaled
over the gate. These, he said, were the
heads of Boxers who had been executed.
These recent events are construed as in
dicating that Ii Hung Changes edict is be-
ing obeyed, and with passive submission to
invasion little can be accomplished, in the
opinion of military men, by further eApedi-
lions, unless all the villages are destroyed.
The latter resort it is said, is not likely to
be carried out While in the vicinity Of
Pekin small commands are operating, it is
the general belief that cold weather will
practically put an end to real fighting.

There are thousands Of people in this world who

certain savage tribes in Africa and Polynesia are
almost exclusively meat eaters; but while there

grains and II numbers is criterion 1t would
seem that a mixed diet is the best for the human
family.
who appear healthy and vigorous and meat eaters
equally so, and any number of robust specimens
who eat both meat and vegetables and anything
else that comes their way, all goes to show that
the old is the true one, that every man must
be law to himself to what he shall eat and
drink.
To repair the waste of tissue in brain workers
as well as to replace the muscle and sinew of the
laborer can only be done through the process OF
