TRUSTEES AGAIN DISCUSS
SUBJECT OF SPOUTS

At yesterday afternoons session Of
the Trustees of the Poor. Mr.. Roberts,
chairman of the committee appointed
to ask the Council of Wilmington for
an appropriation toward the cost Of
the new Municipal Hospital, reported
that the committee had performed its
duty. The gist OF the report was that
Council would make an appropriation
if possible. II was also said that the
members of the county body were in
error in believing that the Council
had pledged itself to pay 500 toward
the cost of the hospital. The report
was accepted and the committee con-
tinued.
A motion to renew expired insur-
.ance on the county building with a
State company was voted down..
The action OF a special committee in
buying fourteen beds and bedding for
use in the Emergency Hospital, was
approved after some discussion. The
fact that furniture had been bought for
a building not yet accepted by the
Board precipitated the argument
The committee appointed to accept
the building asked for an extension of
time. which was allowed
Discussion on the subject Of spout
ing for the building grew out of the
report of the committee, Mr.. Toman
holding TO his former opinion that the
building will not be complete until the
spouts are in position. He declared
that he, as one member of the Com
mittee on Emergency Hospital, would
not vote to accept the building until
the sDouts are put on. Mr. Roberts
another member of the committee, de-
clared that he. neither. would vote tC
accept the building. It was disclosed
that the building is unhealthy because
the water beats through the walls
This condition would not exist, it was
commended. if spouting was provided tC
carry off the water which pools on the
roof of the building. The discussion
becoming tiresome, a motion 10 ad
iourn was put before final action could
be taken in the matter.

SURPLUS WILL REACH $4,000
This the Amount Water Department will
Turn Over to Council

II is estimated that 100000
surplus viii be paid by City Council
by the Board of Water Commissioners
after the first Of the year. Council
had counted ON receiving $4,000, but
will be satisfied with the amount
promised. The proposed action Of the
commission is prompted by the suit
now before the county courts involv-
ing the right of the Water Department
to pay $4,000 OF Weldin farm purchase
price. lt being probable that decision
in the case will mot be given for some
time. the department has decided to
turn its surplus over To Council, which
body can dispose Of the money in
whatever way it may think proper.

MEMORIAL TO
NOBLE WOMAN
Trinity Church Window a
Work Of Art
GIFT OF GENERAL WILSON
Scene Represents Angel OF Compass
sion Extending Her Cup to
Sisters
GIFT OF GENERAL WILSON

One of the most beautiful memor-
ial windows i'm the Wilmington
churches is that placed in Trinity
Church by General James Ii. Wilson,
in memory of his wife, who died in
Matanzas, Cuba, while the general
was stationed there in 1900.
The window is in the northern end
of the church and was blessed on
Christmas day. Glaziers' and artists
skill combined have produced a beauti-
ful and pleasing effect.
A scene from the Eastern countries
IS represented, and the rich golden rays
from the setting sun light up the
green sward and tropical verdure and
bring cut the soft, rich tinting OF ahe
raiments of the figures in the picture.
The scene represents The Angel of
Compassion" extending her cup to the
two women who bear babes in theiI
arms. Beneath the picture is the fol-
lowing from the XIV chapter, 4Oth
verse Of St. Matthews:
"lnasmuch' as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these, My brethren
We have done 1t unto Me"
Below this is the following inscrip-
tion:
I'm loving memory of Ella Andrews
wife of James Harrison Wilson, born
lat Stockford. near Wilmington, July
10, 1916; died at Matanzas, Cuba
April 2S, A. d.. 1900"
The window was made by Tiffany
of New York. and is said to be an ex.
cellent specimen of that celebrated
firms work
On the opposite side of this window
is the George ID. Armstrong window
which was made by Tiffany, and SINH
lar in coloring to the Wilson memoir
ial..
Ii is an appropriate companion piece
to the new window. This window hal
been robbed of part of its beauty b!
reason Of the new High School shut
ting out the light from It.
