Excessive rope jumping has found
another victim. this time a GIRL 8
years old, residing in Camden. n. ].
One day last week she enjoyed herself
for several hours with her rope, and
then complained that her lungs hurt
her she was sent to bed and a ply
sician was summoned He pronounced
her ailment to be congestion Of the
lungs, superinduced by violent exer-
else. We have many little rope-jump-
ers here in Wilmington. and this is the
beginning of the season of the year
when they indulge in the sport. The
fate Of the child in Camden should
serve as warning to Wilmington par
ents not to permit their children to in
dulge in it to excess. Used in moder-
alton the jumping-rope is a good thing.
as it develops and strengthens several

on the mind, which constantly is seek

dangerous when used too long at one

DELEGATE RODEY TALKS
GOV. OTERO'S REINFORCEMENT
SATISFACTORY TO ALL.
Settles Last Dispute In the Territory
New Mexico to Push for
Statehood.

President Mckinley today reappointed M.
A. Otero as governor of New Mexico.
Gov. Otero has been in Washington for
the past few days in connection with s.
S. Rodey, delegate-elect from that terri
tory to Congress. The two gentlemen will
leave tonight for their home.
In speaking to a Star reporter of the
appointment today. Delegate Rodey said
that it was most satisfactory. 'It practi-
caliy settles the last political dispute In
the territory" he continued, although we
have had but few disputes. Yesterday
the President re-appointed G. M. Foraker
as marshal. Marshal Foraker is brother
of the Ohio senator of that name, and has
served in that official capacity for several
terms in the territory
Claim for Statehood.
while the appointment of governor Is
for fonr-year term" continued Mr.. Ro-
dey. ut Is not expected that the officers
recently selected will fill their terms. New
Mexico is making the effort of her life to
be admitted as state. and the fight is to
be brought to a close If possible in the
Fifty-seventh Congress. j have been elect
ed for the purpose almost solely of fur
thering this proposition, and my majority
in the election was the largest ever cast
for delegate from that territory, not ex
Guiding Senator Elkins of West Virginia,
who came to Congress several terms as the
representative of New Mexico in the latter
sixties and early seventies
Turned Down by Cangress.
Mr.. Rodey is brimming full of arguments
for the admission of his territory as
state. When California came into the
Union," he said. New Mexico organized a
state government. adopted a constitution
and elected two senators and one represen-
tative and sent them to Washington. ex
pecting to get In at that time: and, al
though We had population then Of more
than 10000, We failed to be admitted. The
claims of New Mexico for statehood have
since been investigated by no less than
eight Congresses and bills have been IA
vorably reported for that purpose in one
house or the other six times.
Now, our population Is shown by the CEN
to be 100000, but we claim at least
5000 more. Our territorial area Is larger
than the whole of New England and New
York combined. We have more news
papers per capita than any other state; we
spend more for education per capita than
any other state; we also have more church
per capita than any other state. We
have twice the population Of Wyoming;
about six times that of Nevada; more than
Idaho and Delaware, and 10000 more than
North Dakota.
Another argument that will be pressed
at the coming session of Congress grows
out of the status of territories as fixed by
the recent insular decisions of the Supreme
Court.

PERMIT FOR VACATION SCHOOL.
COlOred Pupils to Have BENEFIT of
Summer Instruction.

Permission has been granted by the
board of education for the establishment
of a vacation school for colored children.
The school is to be held for six weeks In
the Stevens school building, the term be-
ginning Monday. June "a. The course Is to
combine Industrial education with studies
to strengthen delinquent pupils in subjects
in which they are weak The plan was pro-
mulgated by Mr.. F. l.. Cardoza, who out
lined the proposed work in a communica-
ton to Mrs. Bette F. Francis, chairman
of the committee on industrial education
of the board of education.
In asking that this action be taken Mr..
CardoZa referred to what he regarded as
the peculiar needs of the colored people.
Industrial education, he considered. was
especially necessary, because of the poverty
of their parents. The following teachers
have volunteered to assist in the work of
the vacation school without compensation:
Emma f. Merritt Rosetta Boston, Charity
Hathman, Anna Thompson, Anna j. Bell,
Mary V. Dckerson, Musette Brooks and

seriously considered. 1t was stated that
both ambulance horses are practically
broken down and will not be able to do the
work OF the summer season when often ten
or fifteen runs day are called for
What the institution needs 1t was declared,
Is an automobile ambulance, such as some
other cities have. and which have been
found to fill all the requirements of the
work. The hope was expressed that some
charitably inclined citizen. with humane
feeling for horses. will come forward with
q gift OF such vehicle for the Emergency.

Drowned in the Potomac.

Lewis Adams. who is eight years old, and
small for his age, disappeared from his

o'clock last hight. Lewis was seen at the
wharf about haIf-past selling papers. He
was dressed In dark pants. a light shirt and
blue cap. and was barefooted. He has blue
eyes and dark hair. There is a possibility
that he may have slipped onto one of the
river boats, and his father. George T. Ad-
ans. has gone to River View today to look
for him there The fear is however that

drowned A little colored boy who knew
him told Mrs Adams today that he saw
Lewis on F street last night.
The body of a drowned boy was taken
from the river late this afternoon. Although
not yet identified, 1t is regarded as posst-
Bile that 1t Is that of Lewis Adams
