RIVAL POETS.
isssa and Bjornson Arc Very Jealous .
Each Other.


Ibsen has wife and one son, SigurS
Ibsen, now about 40 years old, whs
has been in the consular service, and ]
believe, says W. E. Curtis, in the Chi
cago Record Herald, spent several
years at Washington as secretary OF
legation. He is at present occupying
a subordinate position in the ministry
of foreign affairs. Sigurd married a
daughter of Bjornstjerne Biornsen,
his fathers most formidable rival in
literature and popular estimation
The two authors are not friends
They are very jealous OF each other.
Ibsen enyies Biornson's great popu'
larity and prosperity, while the Lat.
ter regards 1bsen as "an affected old
donkey" and often calls him such.
In front of the new theater in Chris
tiania are Bronze statues of both men
in heroic size, which were erected at
the expense of the public and general
ly admired, but are unsatisfactory 10
the subjects. 1t is seldom that peo-
pie have the privilege of criticisine
their own statues. Such honors are
usually reserved until they are dead
In thiscas there was no formal dedica-
tion or unveiling and neither of the
subjects saw his statue until after ii
was placed in position, and both hay"
since expressed great dissatisfaction
| A few days after his statue was in po'
sition Ibsen varied his morning walk
by strolling over in that direction.
For several moments he stood gazing
at the efiigy of himself, showing his
long coat, his bushy hair and whisk-
ers and his big eye glasses, then shook
his head sadly as if in disapproval and
went on his way. He has never been
near the statue since.
Bjornson, being man Of impetu-
ous manners and quick temper, er-
pressed his dissatisfaction in more
emphatic manner. When he first
saw himself in bronze he became
greatly excited and sssticulstsd wild
ly, declaring that it was"a permanent
injury" and must come down, but hi

WAS LEFT-HANDED.
An Art coanoisssus's Discovery coscsra.
ing 0as Old Msstss

What old master among the Dutch
painters was left-handed!
This knowledge is = very valuable
asset to q connoisseur in art. Few ex-
perts know, and those who do are par
ticular to keep the information to
themselves. 1t enables them to de-
tect a spurious painting ascribed to
this artist al glance.
Mr.. George ii. Story, of the Metro
politan museum, says, according to
the New York World, that he dis
covered the fact for himself in curl
Gus way. Mr.. Story is the highest
authority in this country upon old
masters, and is especially familiar
with those of the Dutch school. He
gained his prestige by years Of the
minutest study in the galleries of Eu-
rope. One of his methods of study
was to copy masterpieces for the sake
Of dissecting a painters style. One
lay he set his easel down before ia
nous painting at The Hague.
Now Tll get your stroke" reflect
ed upon the artist. He found that he
could not get the stroke. There was
something about it quite. out of the
ordinary. Then he noticed the same
oddity in the way that the original
vanishing had been done. Suddenly
he worked out the problem like .
fash. The brush had been brought
always from left to right instead Of
from right to left. 1t was easy to
verify the discovery, once made.
When q World reporter asked Mr..
Story to name the paintsrh he laughed.
"Oh, no." he said; "I can't afford
to part with that bit of knowledge"

SENATOR f.ATr.
b No Mature Lover Has Sesa Adiroa-
dacks Only Ones.

Senator Thomas G. Platt has never
been counted as a nature lover. His
dealings are with politicians and bust
ness men, and his expressions of fond
aess for the picturesque in nature are
lew and far between. The noun
aims have no attraction for the re-
publican leader, and his friends were
surprised last week when Senator
Platt made a journey TO the Adiron-
lacks. His sons talked for hours to
induce him to take the trip. The stay
.asted three days, and when Senator
Platt arrived back in the Fifth Avenue
lotel he said to friend:
at is the first time / have seer the
Adirondack mountains, although !
have lived within short distance OF
them for years. Go back to the
mountains? No, ! never expect to
see them again. The sea breezes Of
Coney island suit me"
One of the tender spots in Senator
Platt's nature is his desire to have
rare cut flowers in his rooms. He de.
lights to push comfortable armchair
close to a large vase of American
oeauty roses and enjoy their fra
yrance.- N. Y. Times.

TESTING VANDERBILT FlREBOX
Young uIti-MilIiOnaire'S Invention BeiVg
Tried on B. g. 0. Railroad

Five locomotives ON the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad are equipped with hreboNcs
lof the pattern invented by young Cor
nclius Vanderbilt and they are being
tested for the purpose of finding out
whether the now style mas any real ad-
vantagcs over the older designs.
Experts i'm locomotive engineering have
highly praised Mr.. Nanderbilts invcn-
ton. but. according to reports. cnginemen
are not disposed to look with favor upon
the new frcboxes While admitting that
the Vanderbilt idea had many points to
recommend it, it was stated yesterday
that it was doubtful whether the new pat
tern of frcbox could make steam as fast
as the Wootten style, which is used ON
the latest freight engines of the road.
These have their cabs on top of the boil
ers. a method of construction that per
mits the iirebox to be very wide, thereby
aIording a tremendous heating surface.
Locomotive practice today demands
that engines shall be free steamers for
economy of operation compels the use of
higher steam pressure than ever before.

EAST SIDB LOTS
BREED DISEASE
They Serve As Dumping
Grounds for House
hold Refuse

Many citizens Of the East Side are
complaining because of the condition
of lots in their respective sections, and
the universal opinion is that the Board
of Health should take some action in
the matter.
At Tay.or and Lombard streets there
is a lot covered with a growth of weeds
reaching to ones waist. The weeds
serve as a hiding place for all descrip-
tions of refuse. which is carried there
under the cover Of darkness.
In Poplar street between Seventh
and Eighth, there is another vacant
lot. the condition of which is as bad, II
not worse. than the first-named. 1t is
lowered with a rank growth Of weeds
and from the piles of refuse dumped
there a nauseating OdOr arises. Ctti-
zens Of the immediate neighborhood
fear that an outbreak Of typhoid fever
will make it's appearance.
Another dumping ground for refuse
is at Ninth and Pine streets, and its
condition IS as deplorable as the rest.

Many Changes to Be Made
Along Delaware Road
WILL MAKE FASTER TIME
improvements Will bC Made in Ex-
press and Freight Service.
Rails Being Laid

With the completion Of the double
tracking of the Delaware division of the
PENNSYLVANIA. railroad, it is understood
an entire new system of train operation
will be installed.
First, a new time schedule will so into
effect and many changes will be made in
the freight system.
Quicker time will bc made as consc-
oucnce of the double track and it is I'M
derstood that trains will be run at the
same rate of speed of those of the COM
pany's line between this city and Balti-
more.
1t is further reported that the present
type of engines will not be used over the
division. but that for both freight and
passenger service the large camel back
locomotive will he used.
The double track system will be of
great convenience to the fruit growers OF
the lower part of the State, and reports
from that section are to the effect th7,t
the growers are vastly pleased. Tlc
quicker transportation in freight and eN-
press will save them many dollars in the
course of a year.
At the points along the road where the
grading has been completed, rails already
are being laid.
The rails are the broad and heavy ones,
similar to those with which the Delaware
division was relaid two or three years
ago.

The reason OF this Is because the

the cause must be removed before

oaveators, addressing the court, said:
II beg to say that our real objection
20 this will Is that II violates a con-
tract existing between Jacob S. Rogers
and his brothers. which his brothers
executed and he did not perform. On
lthat account we have deemed It our
duty TO make a full investigation as to
the testamentary capacity OF Jacob s.
Rogers and as 10 the execution OF his
will. That investigation has just been
completed. has satisfied us that he was
OF testamentary capacity and that the
VIII was executed I'M due form. The
lother and principal question cannot be
submitted TO this tribunal but only to
the Court OF Chancery. and we will,
y therefore. make ohr contest there, and
not here"
The court then admitted the will Ia

MAKING Big PREPARATION
FOR OLD AND new SALE

Women managers of the Homeo-
pathic Hospital are having a sewing
party in the hospital today. They are
mendng and putting in good shape
such articles as already have been con-
tributed for the "O.d and New Sale,
to be given by them in Pyle's Cycle
Academy, from October to ~.
The people Of Wilmington are PROV
ing generous, and daily gifts are being
received by the various committees.
However They expect quite a rush OF
contributions on October /. The man
agers feel that II housekeepers only
win take the time to look over their
homes carefully they will find many
things which are of no use or value To
them, but which would find ready pur-
chasers at the old and new sale.
The sale Is to be run az a regular
store. There are to be shelves behind
the counters, upon which the goods are
TO be placed, and every article will be
plainly priced. Each will be marked
as low as possible. and the prices will
not be changed. There will be regular
departments.and they will be in charge
of the following:
Millinery department. Mrs. w. w.
Pusey; china department Mrs. Leon
ard Kittinger kitchen department,
Mrs. Benjamin Nields: furniture. Mrs.
Alfred S. Elliott; book. Mrs. Sherman; I;

Rudolph; shoe department, Mrs. George
Grubb; transportation. Mrs. c. New
bold Trump. Each of the heads Of the
departments viii choose six or eight
assistants. from among the members of
the Junior Board.
The managers feel that the Homeo-
pathic Hospital has done a good work,
but they want to extend fits scope. They
propose to hold the sale so as to raise
as large an amount OF money as pos
sible at one time. which will prevent
the necessity Of making more frequent
small demands upon the public. The
quarters Of the hospital are very re-
stricted. and it is probable that the
funds procured by the sale Will be used
toward the erection OF a fever ward.
which is much needed.
