HOW THE DAY WAS SPENT
Fine Weather Brought Out an I'm
mense Crowd.
Thousands Went to the Parks and
Baseball Games, While Others
Walked the Streets.

A perfect day and the fact that it was
Memorial Day and holiday brought
out thousands of people yesterday. They
all Hocked to the parks and the business
portions of the town. 1t appeared as il
the resident portion of the city was de-
serted. There were more people on the
streets than has been seen on similar
occasion for vars.
The girls took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to shake their mnckintoshes and
appeared in the pretty and light summer
dresses and for several hours Market
street was scene of beauty.
1t was practically the opening of the
Peoples Railway. Thousands took adj
vantage of the delightful ride to Brandy
wine Springs and Rockford Park. The
Sixth and Second street lines We're
crowded. Although the company had
Il large number of cars in service many
more could have been filled had they been
running. People fell over themselves
and everyone else and almost fought for
even standing room on the cars At
Sixth and Market and Sixth and King
streets it was task to get through the
crowds waiting for the cars. Everything
was in full blast at the park. Many
improvements have been made since last
year.
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany took many people to Shellpot. The
old resort has lost none Of its old time
popularity. Many new alterations have
been added to those of last year. The
Darby ears brought hundreds to the city
and carried many more out of town.
For the lovers Of sport there We're two
games of baseball at the Union street
grounds and sweep stake shoot beyond

age. Immediately he determined upon
literary career and went to London.
Three years later he produced his first
volume, which was well received. Soon
he became one of the most voluminous
of authors, poems, novels, plays and
criticisms coming from his pen in start
ling profusion. His writings ranged
from the very good to the very bad, but
his successes were more frequent than
the failures. His dramatic ventures
were almost without exception most
pleasing to the public, his. success be-
ing attained by clever anticipation of
the popular taste. His career marked
him as man of rugged force and hon.
esty who, from excellent and even lofty
motives, was continually blundering
into indiscretions which drew ridicule
upon him.
In America he became known princi-
pally by reason of his championing
Walt Whitman and calling America to
account for it's failure to recognize and
crown the ''good gray poet as its rep
resentative genius. The letter, which
was widely discussed, was resented not
only by the American public but by
Whitman himself.

our plates and cups and saucers will be

Dust cannot collect on its polished sur
face, and the spider will find no place
on which to hang its cobwebs.
They have already begun to pave the
streets of Paris with glass, and it is
| found that the substance, while prac-
tically indestructible, is admirably suit
| ed to the feet Of both men and beasts,
and, as it neither holds nor makes any
dirt, it is absurdly easy to clean. Its
only fault is that it somewhat increases
| the noise of the traffic, but even this
might by and by be overcome. Perhaps
it might be possible in connection with
one of the many projected exhibitions,
to construct on a modest but sufficient
scale dwelling of the kind NJ. Henri
vaux describes. People would then be
| able to experience the actual sensation
of walking along glass floors, of climb
ing glass staircase, Of being surround
ed by glass walls, of sitting on glass
chairs at glass tables, drinking tea out
of glass cups and stirring 1t with glass
teaspoons. How far this could be ac
complished with due avoidance Of mo
notony it is hard to say.

ToNIETTA'S QUESL.

81 SHALL go to America! All Amer

tie Tonietta's ear, and she could shut
her eyes and see again the father stern
and forbidding; the mother, pleading
and fearful, and the handsome, dark
eyed brother, who had gone from their
door in far-away Italy, that summers
day, and from whom they had heard no
tidings.
That was long years ago, before they,
golden promise, in search of him.
Tonietta had been but babe then; now
she was quite little woman. And
Mariana, the lost one, would be 20 years
old, a man, indeed. At first they had
looked eagerly into every boyish face
they met, sure that they would soon
find him. But the days grew into
weeks, the weeks into months, and now
the months had counted off one whole
year, and still no trace of him. They
had questioned their countrymen wher-
ever they went, but it was always the
same doubtful shaking of the head, and
some had even laughed. 1t was like
searching for a grain of sand upon the
oceans shore. Even were he in this
great, crowded, bustling New York, il
was hopeless task. And then the lit
tie sad-faced mother began to lose ever
the slender thread of hope to which she
had clung so long, and sometimes she
would say, "My Mariana is dead.
