WORK rnR APPROPRIATIONS

II there is one thing above all
others that should engage the earnest
and intelligent attention and receive
the jealous and untiring work Of our
representatives in Congress it Is the
continued and permanent improve
ment of the harbor OF Wilmington.
In no other one thing Of govern
mental connection in the matter Of ap-
propriations have the people of the
State at large such a vital and practi-
cal interest The business prosperity
Of the city Of Wilmington is felt in its
beneficial effects in all parts Of the
commonwealth and even in many parts
Of the Eastern Shore Of Maryland and
the contiguous counties Of Pennsyl-
vania.
From time to time the Federal Gov
ernment has made appropriations Of
varying magnitude for the improve
ment Of the Christiana river, but they
never have been large enough to
deepen and widen the channel as it
should be done. and then protect the
work afterwards.
Within the last year the dredges
have given us a depth of water COM
mensurate with our immediate needs,
but unless a bulkhead is built along
the sides of the river to hold back the
mud from the lowlands bordering the
stream, there will be a gradual sliding
in process which in a few years will
put the stream in the same con-
ton that it was before the dredging
was done
Therefore we urge Congressman
Hoffecker and Ball to exert their best
efforts to obtain from Congress every
dollar possible for the carrying out of
projects to improve the Christiana
river permanently, and to conserve the
business interests Of all their constit-
uents.

of Third and Bunting streets, who was
arrested on Friday evening last on a
warrant from Wilmington, charging
him with larceny, was given a hearing
at the jeffrey street station house on
Saturday afternoon, and, as it was
shown that he was not the man who
was wanted, he was discharged The
charge against him was the theft of a
quantity of sheet lead from the place
Of j. Edward Addicl1s. The material
was traced to this city and found in one
of the junk shops. The dealer said
that he had bought the lead but that
Sampsell was not the man from whom
It had been purchased and this evidence

Complain Of Exeessire Rates

Fruit growers on the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland are complaining much
over the excessive freight rates on
their produce. and say that If some

growing of small fruits will soon be a

SWlcATY FEET-Perspiration is a
necessary waste which benefits the
system by expelling poison, but it
soils and makes an irritatant of any
thing worn on the body. If HAIR
INSOLES are worn through the day,
moisture from the feet will drain
through the top or hair part leaving it
dry and at night will bef ound at the
bottom of the sole which will be wet.
Hair will not hold moisture. but cloth

spiration irritste the feet and cause

puBhlc SCHOOLS TO CLOSE.
Next Friaay WIN End the First ses-
sion in Ardmore.

z
The Ardmore public schools. af-
ter very successful term OF six
months, will be closed next Friday.
During this week the examinations
will be held on which the grades of
the pupils will be based at the next
term.
There is probably sufficient funds
on hand to continue the schools
another month, but for reason of
the inevitable disorganization re-
snlting from the suspension few
weeks ago at the request of the
board Oh health. the school board
thinks ii best to adjourn at the close
Of this week.
In view of the fact that the board
entered upon the present school
term without finances, with houses
and furnishings to provide and
with rules and course of study to
Formulate, they consider the result
Of this term as phenomenal, at least
the result is very gratifying to the
board and the patrons. An excel
lent corps Of teachers was employed
and they have been eminently sue
cessful. The public pulse is now
more favorable to the question OF
public schools than it was one year
ago.
The cost of maintaining this term
has amounted to about 81 pei
month per capita of pupils.
The only encumbrance hanging
over the board at the present.timt
lis the debt incurred for the pur
chase OF desks, which amount is no
due for two years. All other ex
penses have been met. The teach
ers have received full pay for theil
work up to this month, with plent.
of funds on hand to pay them TO
this months work. We wish fo
the teachers a pleasant vacation
. which they so richly merit.

Served ma m soldier I'm ahe Philippines.
Something Co say About OILS.

u
Joseph Ozias, newspaper man
lately returned from the Philip
pines where he spent n year sery-
ing in the army, in Funston's fa-
nous regiment stopped off in this
city yesterday evening between
trains to see his cousin, III. c. Pot
teri. Mr.. Ozias' SON and q brother
also served with him in the same
regiment and all had a hard time
of it. They served out the full term
of their enlistment. Mr.. Ozias
wished to go into the newspaper
business in Manila, where he says
he saw a fine opportunity to make
it profitable. He says, however,
that Gen. Otis places obstacles in
the way of all Americans locating
and engaging in business in the
Philippines at present. That dis
charged soldier is now made to un-
derstand that he must either re-
enlist or take passage for home,
while an Englishman, Belgian or
German can at ally time get con-
cession or license to engage in
business and is encouraged TO do
SO. Gen. Otis, he says, is a Cath
olic and that this fact probably has
much to do with him oeing retain
ed in control, but that in his opin-
ion Otis has little tact and is not q
succe IS in his management of af-
fairs. That he does not attempt
to get the confidence or to concil
late the native element.
He says another difficulty in the
way; and he learned this from per
sonal talks with many natives. is
that the Americans keep coming
and going all the time and do moi
become a part of or identified with
the islands; further, that they learr
the Spanish language as a con
venience when they arrive but
make little attempt to learn any o.
the numerous dialects of the ma
) tives. That everything Spanish
, is hateful to the native Filipino
Mr.. Ozias is on his way to South
ern Texas, where he expects to en-
gage in newspaper work.
