CAPTAIN George Black Of tie police
force has not been tie only officer on
the force who has been attacked by
anonymous communications. The
writer or writer's have been industri.
uusNy circulating reports about the
officers with desire to get them in
trouble. Their wives have been
warned that their bubbles are not
faithful to them and that they can
learn something to their advantage
by calling at certain places where
they are in the habit Of passing while
on their beats.
Such communication are low and

will resort to gain their end or get

for their cowardy attacks on the
character Of the officers. The police

A few days ago tile Journal was
quoting Major Carson, the Washing

Record. In Wednesdays issue it
said the Major was writing gush and
1t did not take any stock in what he
was writing. We hope the Major was
correct In reporting that President
Roosevelt intended to settle the Sen.

intended to make the appointing of
Federal Office holders from what he
could CLEAN by looking over the stu
alton himself
Never has their heen time when
the President 'sinterference s was need

now. Unless the distrluation of fed.

De paid to 60 to the polls and vote on

To show the uncertainties of this
life and the vicissitudes to which we
Rre subject. we would mention the
yudden turn from wealth to poverty
10y sufferer Of the Delmar fire. For
mer Speaker of the House Of Repre-
Eentatiyes, W. L. Sirman, in his old
age, has been reduced from a wealthy
and enterprising manufacturer al
most to poverty. His loss, by fire,
has been nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. The insurance rates were 50
high that Mr.. Sirman carried only
small insurance and this being the
second time he has met with losses by
fire it comes hard with him and leaves
him in such condition that it win
he hard indeed for him to regain his
fortune. Hehas the sympathy of all
who know of him in his loss OF nearly
all he possessed of the world S goods.
If he, like some wealthy men had in
vested his money in bonds and mort
cages he would not have been such a
sufferer from the fire. But he was
an enterprising man and by bis en-.
terprises gave others around him en-
ployment. lie was a very uselu man
IN the community in which lie resd-
ed. and for that reason the loss falls
nearly as heavy on the community,
IT is as well for Young girls TO be
careful what kind OF gentlemen
company they keep. as thereby
they would be saved great deal
OF unnecessary trouble in wears to
come. Mss Etiie Davidson, daugh-
ter OF the late Capt. Davidson, OF
lIlkton Md, was shot and Instant
ly killed by a young man who had
been keeping company with her.
She did not care Tor his company
and had not encouraged him for
some time, The man hose name
was Eimore Pryor. was lnsanclv
jealous Of her and had planned the
death of both. He even tried to
Kill Miss Davidson : Younger sister
as he fired one shot at her aud then
turned the weapon on himself. The
world is well rid OF such men, as
they are no good 10 themselves or
any one else. II is pity he did
not kill himself first 1t is no won
der the girl did not wish to link her
lie with his.

IT is likely that Wilmington will
be given $50,O00 by Congress to con-
tinue the work of deepening the
channel. This is not one third
what should be appropriated to put
the Christlana river IN proper con-
dtion. It's pity that Wilmington
cannot have wharves built on the
Delaware aud thus take every adj
vantage Of the commerce which
passes it's doors every hour in the
day. This project has been agita-
ted time and time again, and has
come to naugrit. While the dream OF
VIM. Lawton may some day come
true. it is as we'll that the Christl-
ana river shall not be allowed to
fl up and be detrimcnt to the IN
terests Of the city. $4,000 is a
small sum to grant the Wilmington
harbor. Here's where Wilmington
is handicapped by the absence of
U. S. Senators at Washington.
The fourteenth annual conven.
tion Of the New Castle County Sun
day School Association was opened
Yesterday in Delaware City. Prof.
II. S. Goldey is in charge. The
convention was well attended and
the exercises interesting. The
idea is how to make the Sunday
school attractive to young and old
The belief is growing str onger ach
year that those who teach the chill
dren in the Sunday school, should
have a special training for such
work. The Sunday school is with
out doubt the recruiting station for
the church and the foundation OF
christianity in any community.
Children who love TO attend Sunday
school have liking tor the services
in the church. The session prom
lses to be instructive, entertaining
and profitable.

Jerusalem is about to have some good drinking water. It has long needed some Tn old times the city was well 1 supplied, but since the Turks day the people of Jerusalem have been depend- ent on the scanty and often polluted accumulations of rain water in the | rock -hewn cisterns beneath their feet. Even this supply has recently failed says a correspondent of the London Times, owing to want of rain. Distress and sickness became so general that the Turkish governor has at length been induced to sanction the purchase of iron pipe to bring water from Ain Salah, or the Sealed Fountain" at Solomon's Pools, about nine miles south of Jerusalem. pipe six inches In diameter will bring 5000 skins" of water a day for distribution at 'foun- tains" supplied with faucets. Solo mon, in his famous Song" speaks of this secret spring, now turned to use.
 
 It is deep down subterranean spring, which has, from the time of Solomon, flowed through the arched tunnel built by him to the distributing chamber or reservoir near the northwest corner of the highest of Solomon's Pools. Half a century ago the location of this hid den spring, which was still, as in Solo, mons time, flowing into the reservoir mentioned, was unknown. The tunnel is roofed by stones leaning against each ether like an inverted V, the primi- tive form of the arch which is also seen in the roof of the Queens Chamber of the Great Pyramid The entrance to pthis tunnel from the spring is one of the oldest structures in existence. The piping Is to be laid along the old aque- duct which formerly, from the time of Solomon, brought this same water to the Temple area. There are eleven or twelve ancient fountains here and there in the city, long unused, but now to be utilized, and from which the water may be drawn, free to all, several taps being attached to each fountain.

time the first spiral was completed, the spider used thread which became dry on contact with the air, but the second spiral is the one intended for catching and holding her prey so the thread she uses for that purpose is moist and sticky. Under the microscope this thread looks something like tele- graph wire on a wet day, except that it is strung with beads of gum instead of water The first spiral is not entirely done away with a few convolutions are left in the center, and here the spider often waits head downward for her prey. Between this center piece and the outer spiral is space of an inch or more, through which the spider passes to seize an insect caught on the opposite side of the web. In some cases she proceeds to eat her victim at once, but when her prey is powerful and offers resistance, she first renders him hors de combat by binding him hand and foot, so to speak, with silken cords.
 l have used the feminine gender throughout this article as the majority of the spiders we see are females The males are usually smaller and less pow erful, and their wives not infrequently take a mean advantage of this fact and eat them up.

DIDN'T MAKE THE RIGHT REPORT

This is a free country, but you must
 be careful. A Chicago minister who was a member of a committee appoint ed to examine the workings of the anti canteen law thought he found that the other members were influenced by prej- udice. He made a personal canvass among the soldiers which convinced him of the folly of the law, refused to sign the report commenting it and published a pamphlet giving an account of his in- vestigation and favoring its repeal. Now he has been compelled to resign his pulpit because of the anfmosity thus aroused. No one accuses him of any neglect of duty or of intruding his views upon his congregation but as it is evident that any man who favors the canteen cannot be a friend of temper ance" he has been disciplined.
 This minister didn't realize that he wasn't made a member of that com mlttee for the purpose of discovering anything that would give aid and com fort to the canteen crowd, or if he did he thought he was obliged to say what he thought. His case is a warning to others who may be similarly situated.

and iron in any of our food. His con- clusion is that an increased consump tion of sugar could not, for the reasons advanced by pr. von Bunge, have a deleterious effect He, moreover, calls attention to the fact that in France, where owing to it's high price, sugar is really an article of luxury, and
 where accordingly only one-third as much per head of population is used as in England, the people in general do not seem to enjoy better health than the English and Ameri- cans. The only bad result of the large consumption of sugar in these countries appears to be an in creased demand for the services of dentists, but even in this respect the English and Americans are probably little worse off than other civilized na- tions. Professor Lepine declares that, from the standpoint. of a hygienist, he would rejoice to see his fellow-c -coun- trymen increase their consumption of sugar three or four fold, and that he would not have the slightest anxiety in regard to the consequences.
 So those who want to eat sugar freely can get encouragement from Professor Lepine, and those who don't can cite Dr. von Bunge in support of their notion

Dr. von Bunge ought to know some thing about flood values" and he thinks he does So he attacks the prevalent idea that sugar is good food. He has investigated long q nd patiently, and he concludes from the well known fact that children who cat sugar are pale and have bad teeth, that sugar. owing to the fact that it does not con- tain enough iron and lime. and that it is substituted for other food containing these materials, has an injurious ef- feet and it's use should not be recom- mended.
 But this, though plausible. is not go- ing to be allowed to settle the matter Professor Lepine also knows a thing or two, and he shows from Dr. Bunge's own tables that there is very little lime
