PREDICTED.

Democrats are predicting a tie-up IN
City Council over the Offices to be DIS
tributed Though there are any number
of candidates and states are said to have
been made yet it is by no means Ger
tain that the men spoken of will be elect
ed to the offices.
The bone of contention is the Office or
clerk of Council. III an agreement could
be reached as to this. Office Democrats
believe there would be no trouble in I'LL
ing the other positions. The candidates
for the clerkship are William p. Morrl-
son, the present incumbent, and former
CITY Treasurer William l.. Hamann.
Morrison seems to have the inside
track but there is 10 certainty that he
will get the position. 1t is said that
Hamann is not in the race at all as he
has not the necessary support and can
not get it. Consequently he cannot beat
Morrison.
THIS" situation brings the question
down to the election of Morrison or
dropping both Morrison and Hamann and
deciding upon third party. Party
workers believe that an agreement could
he reached on third party but mention
no names as to whom the Demorrnts
in Council would be likely to unite on.
The asprants to the positions are keep
ing a close eye on the members OF Conn
I'll who are having little peace these
days. 1t is not probable that any slate
will he made until next week rs next
Thursday is the date set for election
What the outcome will be nobody knows
at present. Regarding all states that
have been announced Democrats say
someone has been having dream.

Lines in memory Of Nathaniel

died June Goth, aged mon this.
By request of his mother.
In Mt. Salem churchyard sleeping,
Our darling lies at rest,
But his spirit has scared onward
TO "Yon Haven bright of rest"
He fears no pain or sorrow.
All is peace and joy and love,
And the tie that blessed our home
stead
ISa star in Heaven above.
Yet we miss thee baby darling,
Thou hast left vacant spot,
While we tread this world Of sorrow,
You will never be forgot.
But he that gave has taken back,
We must obey his call,
For God in His my sterious way
Knows what is be st for all.
The links that bind must sever
In this dreary land Of pain,
But in heaven will be united
Neyermore to part again.
We hope to meet with baby
On that celestial shor e,
Where one and all united are,
And parting is no more.
Nathaniel James we miss thee,
Would thou were with us still,
But the Master called thee home.
ward,
And we must obey his will.
While our hearts are panied with
sorrow,
We have the joy to know,
That with angels you are mingling
Where tears can never flow.
Thy little coach is vacant,
All thy things are put away;
The little shoes and stockings
Vex the hearts that mourn to-day
But slumber peaceful darling
U nto the Judgement day;
In robes Of white where oil Is light
Wen meet in grand array.

WILL NOT GET
DIPLOMAS.

The High School Committee of the
Board of Education has practically det'd-
ed not to give diplomas " the five boys
| who were not allowed to participate III
| the High School commencement last
month.
| The boys who fully expected to gradu-
! ate were Frazer j. Wilson, Arthur Hau-
bcr, Edward IL. Brennan, Jr., William
W. Adams and Joscph =. Thompson.
| At the meeting of the board on June
"a the following letter from the boys
was read
! I'VE, the undersigned having passed
through all of the grades OF the High
School except A Senior, believe there has
been an injustice done us and respectfully
ask that there he an investigation.
eve have arrived at an age when a
year may nike difference in our future,
and believe there have been snE.c mis-
taL"s which an investigation will r"ctfy.
"lf yml will give this matter your i'm
mediate attention commencement heing
next Wednesday, you will confer great
favor on
Yours very respectfully,
Frazer ]. Wilson,
Arthur Hauber,
Edward II. Brennan, Jr.
William W. Adams.
Joseph y. Thompson.
The letter was referred to the High
| School Committee. The committee M
vestigatcd the matter hut did not decide
to allow them to participate in the COM
mencement exercises.
The boys were greatly disappointed
at this. 1t was stated that the boys
when they had been promoted from the
other class had been conditioned in GER
tain studies and having failed to make
up these conditions had not been allowed
to graduate. The committee finally de-
| clded that the boys would be given an
opportunity Of taking an examination and
/ if they passed they would then be given
diplomas.
The committee designated Shperintcnd-
ont Twitmyer as the person to conduct
the examination. Only three of the five
boys desired to take an examination.
They were Arthur Hauher, William w.
! Adams and Freezer a. Wilson. Inc five
boys had each been conditioned in two or
three branches such as arithmetic. Eng
lish and civics.
All Of the three who desired to take
an examination had been conditioned in
chemistry and this branch was selected
as the one TO be taken up first.
The examination took place Monday a
week ago. The boys We're each given
twenty questions.
The boys after wait Of several days
have learned the result from Superin-
tendent Twitmyer. The marking Of the
papers show that neither of the boys
passed the examination.
Having lailed in this branch it will of
course be unnecessary to examine the
boys in the other branches as they had
to pass in all the branches to get
diploma.
This means that the committee will not
give the boys diplomas. It is said that
Il young woman who had finished the
course was also not allowed to gradu-
ate because she had not made up GER
tain conditions.
II is said that other years hoys and
girls have been graduated who had fail
ed to make up conditions but a warning
was given year ago that this would not
he allowed to happen again.
Neither Principal Berlin of the High
School or any of the teachers had any
thing to do with the re-examination of
the three boys.

WANT BOOM IN REAL ESTATE
Many Renters anl Few Buyers il
Property Market.

Local real estate dealers want boom
in their business. While there have been
several large property deals recently the
general market has been quiet for some
time. Consequently real estate men feel
that their business is not keeping pace
with the Improvement in other lines Of
trade.
Judging from conditions in the real
esute business Wilmington is becoming
city of renters. 1t seems as though
people believe it cheaper to rent houses
than to own them as few houses of ordi-
nary size are being sold in comparison
with the sales of former years.
