City Council evidently took it for
granted that the Board Of Water Com
missioners would have q surplus 10
turn over TO the general fund and that
IL might as well be used for political
purposes as not Failing to convince
the board that it should become a
party to this foolish attempt to ds-
ceive the voters, City Council now pro-
poses to borrow 100000 unlawfully
from one of our banking institutions
The fact stands out boldly upon the
books of the city that the
Democrats who now control City
Council have run the city heavily in
debt and that it will require Repub-
lican majority in June to re-
store the finances to their proper oondi-
tion. II seems 70 be a large part Of the
mission Of the Republican party to
correct the evils of Democratic extrav-
agance and incompetency in the con-
duct Of the peoples affairs.

We congratulate the Wilmington
Steamboat Company on the success
which attended the launching of it's
new steamboat, the City Of Trenton,
which will ply between Philadelphia
and Trenton. Our only regret is that
this fast and handsome piece of ma
rine architecture was built in Philadel-
phia instead Of in cur local yards. We
hope the boat will meet the fullest OK
pectaions Of her owners, and that she
will become so popular that they will
derive handsome profit from the in

WEEK OF TRADE

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade has this to say: "The position of
general business is satisfactory. Collec-
ticns are prompt and railroad tonnage
is well maintained. Earnings Of all
railroads for the month of March to
date show gain of 1913 per cent. over
last year, and 800 per cent. over 1899.
The textile industry alone does not
improve Short time has been adopted
by Fall River cotton mills, and there
are reports that some of the Southern
weaving mills are about to curtail pro
ducuions, but this has been without
special effect upon demand for either
print cloths or heavy brown cottons.
Quotations OF pig iron and finished
steel tend toward a higher level
THE amount Of cotton coming for
ward at the South indicates that plan
tation stocks are by no means exhaust
cd, and preparations for the new
crop premise an enormous acreage.
From the top point Of the season the
price has fallen SlS.45 a bale, and the
only apparent element of strength at
present is the oversold condition Of the
speculative market.
Footwear is firmly maintained for
stapla lines, although high priced
grades are easier. Orders for boots
have exceeded last years total, with
trade most active at the South. Buy
ers who recently left Boston are now
sending in orders freely. Especial ac-
tlvity is noticed in the local market

JAPAN WANTS TO EIGHT

The British Foreign Office in spite
OF the settlement of the railway siding
incident at Tien-Tsin, lntimates that
the relations between Japan and Rus
sia may soon reach the danger point.
1t (the Foreign Ohice) understands
that Japan is determined to oppose, "at
all COSTS" any secret agreements be-
tween Russia and China. The cable
gram quotes the Japanese legation sec
retary in London as saying that, while
the minor issue has been settled. the
main question-the integrity Of the
Chinese emplre-remains unsettled. In
this connection a Chinese cablegram
says that a telegram has been received
at Shanghai declaring that the Russo
Chinese treaty will be signed March
26 next Wednesday,. with not a
single word changed"
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette
from PelSin says an imperial decree, in
accordance with article 10 of the peace
conditions, has been placarded ON the
walls OF Pekin, threatening all anti
foreign societies with punishment.
A dispatch from Pesin, giving the
Russian version of the Tien-Tsin af-
fair, says: The British military au-
thoritics have acknowledged that the
disputed land was at the time under
the protection OF the Russian dstach-
ment, and that three Russian boundary
Ipcsts had been removed without their
knowledge.
A committee OF ministers has been
appointed at Fekin to discover China's
resources and report ON her ability tc

she must be prepared to do alcne.

Study of the Moon.

1t has been observed that on account
of the absence of an atmoshere on the
moon, and the consequent lack of
graduation in shadows, the eye of the
observer is seriously misled in judging
the actual relief of objects forming the
lunar landscapes. Prof. Prinz of Brus>
sells has recently developed meth
cd of avoiding this difficulty, and
of seeing the craters and other
details on the moon in their natural
proportions. Taking advantage of the
fact that as the moon travels around
the earth the eccentricity of it's orbit
produces the effect of a slow filtration,
or balancing to and fro, which causes
it's face to be inclined now little one
way and now little the other way,
Prof. Prinz makes two photographs of
the lunar object to be studied, at oppo-
site points in the libration, and then
combines them in stereoscope,
whereupon the object stands forth in
full relief. This principle has hitherto
been applied only to photographs Of
the moon as whole and not to par
ticular craters or regions.

the agricultural building he visited in

Chile, Mexico, Dominican Republic,

said, once more, and then, slowly al

toward the door.
Miss Trevanion stood gazing afte7l
him, her blue eyes large and bright
with fear; she had an intense longing
to say she knew not what. Oh, for
words to express all that was in her
heart!
Her hands were closely clasped to-
gether; her lips, pale and still, refused
to move. 1t was the last time-he had
said so; if she let him go now it was
parting that must be forever; and
yet she could not speak. Her love, her
life was going, and she could not utter
the word that would recall him. AL
ready he had turned the handle of the
door; the last moment had indeed come
would he not turn?
"Denzil!" she cried, desperately,
breaking down by one passionate effort
the barrier that had stood so long be-
tween them, and held out her hands to
him.
"My love!" he said, turning. And
then in another moment she was in his
arms and all the world was forgotten

Queer Fads in Food.

The newest food fad is that human
life can be maintained best by food
that itself is living. Like other al
legged discoveries, this is not really
new, for the supreme dish at Japa-
nese feast is live fish, and we Ameri-
cans, who are not to be outdone by
any older race, consume millions Of
live oysters daily through nine months
of every twelve. AS to that, who Is
there that does not delight in eating
cherries direct from the tree and ber-
ries from the bush? To be consistent,
however, the believers in live food
should take their wheat and other
grain food green and direct in the
field, and sweeten their meals by chew
ing green cane and sugar beets.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.
