Troubles to Police Matron.

Scorched mush caused some little trou-
Bile for time yesterday at the Delaware
Industrial School for Girls. 1t was be.
cause the mush that had been prepared
for breakfast at the institution was
slightly scorchcd that two girls left the
place and went to the police station &c
tell their troubles. Later they were rp-
turned to the school and now peace pre-.

1t appears that Ella Burnett was sent
to the kitchen in the school yesterday

Ella does not like cooking, but it is moi
certain that on this account the mlsl
was scorched. But the fact remains
that the piece de resistance of the break

DEDICATION OF ANNEX OF
SARAH ANN WHITE HOME

In 1886 there died ut No. S22 French
street an old colorcd woman, Sarah
Ann White. In her will she left the
house that had been her home for many
,ears, for home for aged and intirm
.olored persons. Adjoining the house
was Il lot. which was also left to the
home. The house being small and the
demand for admission being great. the
managers decided to build an addition
70 the original property. The result has
leen the present annex. The cost has
leen about $1,000 and it will take mt
east $500 to furnish the new building,
therefore, the management hope for n
generous response from the general pub
ic for money. bedclothing or furniture
If amy kind.

MUCH INTEREST IN
PLANS FOR ELEVATED
Street and Sewer Directors Stand Between
the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the People,.
BELIEVED IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE

The story in The Sun yesterday MOI IL
ing to the effect that the PENNSYLVANIA;
Railroad Company was hlulling when il
said that unless the Street and Sewer
department accepted and approved the
plans for the elevated road at once tha.
the whole project would be abandoned,
stirred mp the officials of the company
and other people who have been follow
ing the matter. The Sun wants 10 see
thc improvements made and with IL ma
jority of the people in Wilmington he
lieves that the elevated road would b,
II good thing for the city If they do not
interfere with the rights of corporations
OF individuals.
The Board of Trade is anxious to have
The improvements made and its commits
Zee which appeared before the depart
ment on Tuesday morning last was not
ahrre TO try and have the department
delay the granting of permission to build
but to Impress the department with the
necessity Of looking into the matter to
see that the people Of the city would not
lose any of their rights by the adoption
Of the plans.
Another citizen who saw the article

in your paper and it was acng the right
line. AS you said the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company did not propose tho
improvements for the sole purpose of Civ

vice. 1t meant dollars to them and ID
not blame them for it.
The company wants I'M elevated track
and the space between the supports and

Officials See the Fights.

Nearly everybody expected to see the
fights stopped but there was no inter-
ference and the preliminary and the
wind-u2 went on to the finish. After
the fights Chief Massey was questioned
by some of those present but was nom
committal
Later when asked about the contests
Chief Massey said he and the other oili-
cials had gone to see them because of re-
ports of how the bouts were conducted.
''rhey were square" said the chief,
they were scientific bouts and nobody
was hurt When asked whether the
police we,a going to stop the fights he
replied that he had nothing to say about
that.

ton will permit. 1t is UP to the people Of
Wilmington to see that the present ser
vice between this city and points north
and south is not impaired. 1t would he
Il great loss to the city if number of
the fast express trains which now stop
bat Wilmington went through without
stopping. 1t would give the city the
name of being way station. Such Il
matter would not only hurt Wilmington
at the present time but it would be an
injury to the city for all time to come.
AS an evidence of what the company
intended to do it must be remembered
that when" ii first presented the plans
the elevation OF the tracks was SO low
that large corporations like the Harlan
X IIollingsworth Company and ne
puscy X Jones Company made n strong
kick. They contcnded that they would
not be able to move large castings and
other parts of machines to and fro from
their works.
"'rhc old plans would have made it
impossible for the fire engines to pass
n'ler the tracks without the smoke stack
striking.
This alone would have been great
disadvantage to the corporations to the
south and east OF the railroads as they
would have been without the proper fire
protection. 1t is admitted that the part
of the city to the south and east of the
city will be he part of the town wher"
great industries are expected to. and will
develop. To the west and north will h,.
the resident section. Ne passage way
connecting these two sections of the city
must not he obStructrd in any way.
Il do not want you to think that |
am opposed to the building of the elp.
waited road. Every good citizen is in
favor of it,"
1t is believed that the railroad com
nany will agree to the amendments Of
tEc Street and Sewer Department IL any
are made.

England's Premier Peer.

AS is we'll known the duke of Nor
folk the premier peer OF England, whose
title dates back TO the earliest time and
whose wealth in boundless. Is very care
less of his personal appearance. NO one
meeting him would take him for other
than a very ordinary mana tradesman
or mechanic, perhaps. lie, by virtue of
the security of his title, is them arshal Of
England, and at all royal functions Of
a public character acts as marshal OF the
day.
A well-known woman OF quality had a
house near Arundel, and when she and
her family were removing To London the
duke contemplated buying the place as
a house for member of his family One
morning Mrs.-was i'm her family. one
shortly after breakfast, when servant
came up to tell her that messenger had
called from the castle.
Where is he" she asked
"Ohl he's in the hall, ma am"
knowing the dukes habits of activity
I'm the country. she felt some msgivings
and hurried downstairs To find the earl
marshal of England sitting quite patient
ly on a hall chair with his hat in his
hands. She overwhelmed him with apol-
oeies of course. but the duke was most
amused and laughingy said that he de-
lighted I'm an appearance which protected
him from attentions which would make
his life burdensome.--Phiadel In
