COMMON
PRIMARIES
Both Union and Regular Commit
tees Favor Plan.
EACH NAME SUB-C COMMITTEE
To Confer and Agree Upon the
Placing of One Ticket in the
Field for the City
Election.
EACH NAME SUBCOMMITTEE

The prospects for common primaries
ior the nomination of candidates for city
offices are bright. In fact there is no
loubt about the outcome. There will be
me Republican ticket and the candi-
lates will be named ut the common pri-
naries. The consensus of opinion has
oeen drifting toward this end for several
weeks.
Two large and enthusiastic meetings
If Republicans were held last night and
more interest was manifested than at
my recent committee meeting, even the
lnti-election meetings did not surpass the
interest shown.
The aspect is encouraging. All Re
publicans have come to the point of
.ealizing that it will be for the interest
If the party and for the welfare of tue
ity that there be but one ticket, which
will naturally mean the return of the
control Of the municipal offices to the
party.
The Union Republican First District
Committee met in the Union Republican
headquarters at Fifth and Shipley streets
md was called to order by Francis S.
Bradley. Nearly all of the 65 members

LIBRARIAN TAKES CHARGE.
Mr.. Bowerman is Pleased With the
Institute Free Library.

George II. Bowerman, of New York,
the new librarian of the Wilmington
Institute Free Library, entered upon
his duties yesterday. He was much
pleased to find the library containing
so many books Of a valuable character.
He is deeply interested in the educa-
tional power of a library and believes
that the children should first be attracted
to it SO that they may form the library
habit and grow up with desire to
know the best in literature
Mr. Bowerman in speaking of his i'm
pressions of Wilmington although his
knowledge is slight, he is very much
pleased with the place and the many
evidences Of progress. He sees these
evidences in the parks and breathing
places throughout the city and in the
Use Of improved pavements in the streets.
He sees them also in the new High
School building and the New Century
Club building on Delaware avenue. He
has inspected with pleasure the hand
some report issued by the Park Commits
sion and has already enjoyed drive
through Brandyiwne Park and on the
Kennett turnpike.
The new librarian was born in Ontario
county, n. ". of Quaker stock In 1892,
he was graduated from Rochester Uni
versity, and in 1896, from the New York
State Library School, Albany. Return
ing to Rochester he was reference librar-
ian of the Reynolds Library for one year.
Then he returned to the State Lii
prary ut Albany and did chiefly reference
work until May, 1898, when he went ON
the editorial staff of the New York Tri-
bune. On the Tribune he had charge
Of the departments of biography and
education and general information.
This embraced the preparation of the
obituary notices and the charge of the
College page. He also wrote book re-
views and had the supervision Of the
papers library.
Last summer, Mr. Bowernlan joined
he staff which was preparing the In
ernational Year Book, published by
Dodd. Meade 4 Co., and there remained
until he was appointed librarian here.

for 5000 destitute dany was $493,000.
There was paid in cash and work by
those who were helped s470,000, making
an actual cost to the army $4,000. This
would have cost the State, with the
taxpayers money 100000 and the people
helped would have still been paupers.
General Booth says "if man eats he
must work."
Another problem is the social evil,
and the vice is heart-rending. Five
thousand lost girls each year are taken
from the darkness and shame Of the
streets and hopeless future of ruin
and are sheltered in our rescue homes,
eighty per cent. of them proving to be
genuine cures.
The criminals are dealt with and on
coming from the prison are met at the
gates and taken to our prison homes,
where they are taught a trade and help
ed on again to life of honesty and
sobriety."

Probably no enterprise projected q ring
the entire history os the city ms at
tracted more attention than the proposed
erection OF Central Station heating and
lighting plants by the Home wIicatire and
Lighting Company.
Many changes have been en- r-tel III the
century that has just passed that may
be summed up in the worl CENrEAL-
IZATION.
The "Old Oaken Bucket" Is but 4 n an
ory. and we are now supplied with water
from a Central Station. The candi. as
well as the whale oil and kerosene isnps
have been superseded by artificial gas or
electric lights from Central Stations.
Natural gas allowed the establishment
Of a Central Station for the distribution
Of heat. but with the diminishing supply
OF gas came the realization that some
other and more durable method rllst be
secured.
The Home Heating and Lighting COM
pany. having secured a franchise 10 heat
the city by hot water. steam or electricity
and to furnish electric light and power,
have begun the construction % heating
and lighting plants for hat purpoao
The plant at the corner ~ Sixteen ,nd
A~lahama-sts. is now finished and i a
model Of mechanical ingenuity ana labor
saving devices. The building f. an impos-
ing brick structure with stone trimmings.
and the equipment comprises the most
modern apparatus on the market.
The company has spared no expense to
secure the best consulting engineering
talent ohtainable.
Heating a large number Of houses by
hot water from a Central Station has
proven eminently successful. and We give
herewith a brief explanation Of the Sys-
tenn and the benefits 10 be derived there
from.
A plant Is erected near the center OF
the territory selected and there the water
Is heated and the electricity generated.
The hot water is forced through pipes.
which are laid underground and properly
insulated. and through the radiators in
the houses. After passing through the
radiators the water Is returned by sepa-
rate main to the station 10 be reheated.
The patron or the company is saved the
expense and annoyance OF looking after
a furnace. his house Is heated TO a conn.,
Portable and Uniform temperature
throughout. safety. economy and comfort
being secured without effort on his part.
The number OF customers already Sc
cured exceeds the expectations Of the
company. and Indications point to con-
tinued activity in this line for some time
10 come.
The officers and directors are we'll
known citizens Of In~dianapolis-Mr. : T..
