Remember the Maine" opened a three days
engagement at the Academy of Music last evening.
The house was fairly well filed especially the
gallery. The title OF the play readily suggests
the nature Of the piece, the plot dealing with the
late war between the United States and Spain.
The scenery used throughout the production
was very much in keeping with the play. The
explosion which blew up the Maine was grand
specimen of stage work The play will be re-
peatcd today, both matinee and evening.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
ExpersIye Way to Save Money

One Of Wilmingtons we'll known
business men recently told the Way
farer of an attempt that he made Ia
save five cents. which was a losing ven
ture in every sense of the word.
His place of business is down town
ana while up town the other day he
wanted to communicate with a person
by telephone so he stepped into a place
.of business for the purpose of using a
telephone but found that il not onlv
was in use. but was a pay station
Thinking the matter over he decided

by saving time and the nickel.
don't think | will wait" said he
to the proprietor Of the store.
1t won't be long before the tele-
phone is at liberty" replied the store
keeper.
That's all right but I think will
60 said he, suiting his actions to the
woTd by leaving.
He next stopped into a restaurant
and asked a young colored girl who
was a waitress If he could use the tele.
phone.
Certainly, sir; just help Yourself"
said the girl.
After using the phone and congratu-
lating himself on the fact that five
cents saved is five cents made. he
thanked the girl and wac leaving the
place when che asked him IL he
wouldn't buy ticket for a church
entertainment
Having been so courteously treated
by the gi-l he could not refuse, so he
surrendered a quarter for the price OF
pasteboard
Now he is trying to sell the ticket al
half price to one of his colored en-
Dloyes in order that he may partially
at least. regain what he had lost by the
transaction.

A GREAT RAILROAD

The policy of the Pennsylvania rail
road seems to be for a better equipment
of its present lines. rather than an ex-
tension into new territory. On every
branch. extensive improvements are in
progress, or are contemplated. The
Delaware division will soon have "a
double track road. rock ballasted and
equipped with a new type of loeomo-
tives which will materially lessen the
time involved in travel. Heavy grades
like that at Farnhurst are being abol-
lshed. and new bridges are being put
in where they are needed. In these inn
provements only the most substantial
workmanship is noticed.
This is only an incident of a genera
improvement on the whole system, aat
it is pretty certain that the Pennsyl
vania will soon have the finest roadbeC
in America. The great mileage of ou
roads has precluded the substantial
quality which Is characteristic Of tn
roads of Europe. but after the coninen
has been girdled. the time has com

The Gasman has good cause to ba

declared THAT he declined to accept the

Tammany is making a fight for It's

confident There never was a political
organization on earth so corrupt, SO

Should the decent people fail to defeat
this monster of iniquity, popular gov
ernment will be dealt a blow from

There is growing tendency to defy

I P. Mitchell, Assistant Comptroller Of

the action of the Auditor of the Navy
Department. disalIowing claim Of Sc for
meals for Jonathan Brooks. Assistant
Paymaster. United States Navy, held that
officers OF the Navy. when travelling un-
der orders in the United States, are en-
titled to mileage, whether they are trav-
cling with or without troops. except when
they are limited to actual and necessary
expenses, as provided in the act of June
Z. 1900
Mr. Mitchell said that when such Of
fCers travel under orders for repeated
journeys between two or more places in
the same vicinity, and the Secretary Of
the Navy has directed that actual and
necessary expenses only ne allowed for
such Journeys instead Of mileage, a : he
is authorized to do, they are entitled to
such expenses, whether travelling with or
without troops
And 10 such a case as this" concluded
Mr.. Mitchell. where actual and necessary
expenses are provided in lieu of mileage
and where mileage is not limited to travel
without troops. the officer is entitled to
his proper subsistence while travelling, as
q part of his actual and necessary tTay-
cling expenses
