sition on trees, written by the school
children OF this city
Miss Edith G. Bakey, winner of the
first prize of So, is 13 years old, and

There Is nothing more pleasant than
20 study about trees. Wilmington
contains some very old and rare spec
mens The four largest are: A white
oak i'm Oak street between Broome and
Clayton streets Some time ago this
tree was about to be cut down, but a
few. old residents about its location,
who knew It's history, saved il from the
axe
In the field on the West side Of Clay
ton street. between Maple and Linden
streets. there is poplar. Ii is covered
with sweet-smelling blossoms every
Spring which makes it look very pretty.
Many have spent pleasant as well as
refreshing hours beneath its shade.
On the lawn OF the old Rowland
property, 0t Broome and Ninth streets,
but which is now the property Of j. ID.
Bush, Is gigantic chestnut tree.
know that mostly every boy and girl
on the West Side of the city has visited
this tree during chestnuting time, and
IL bears some fine nuts.
In Friends churchyard just at the
corner of Fourth and West streets, Is a
very large elm. These trees are from
i5O to 250 years old.
The largest variety OF trees Is to be
found in Brandywine Park There are
many varieties OF oak, such as the red
oak. white oak, black oak live oak,
willow oak and the chestnut oak.
There are Norway naples, sugar naples,
swamp naples copper naples. silver
naples, the. sycamore. the hickory, the
beech, The cedar, the elm, the ash the
sassafras, the pine, the magnolia. the
locust, the linden, the calalpas the mu.-
berry, the poplar. the hemlock. the
willow. the English and black walnut.
the chestnut and the persimmon. These
trees may be found in mostly any part
of the park.
The city is well shaded with different
kinds OF naples and oaks, and such
other trees as the linden, poplar, elm.
willow, locust and the mulberry. The
sugar maple is the best tree for shade
There also are some very fine and
rare trees in the city, notably a beau
tiful larch in the garden of Miss H.lles,
at Tenth and King streets; a blackberry
in the garden Of No. 1904 King street,
which is the only one in this part of
the country, therefore being very rare.
There are also two pecan trees in the
field at the southeast corner OF Clayton
and Maple streets. On the lawn OF Del
amore Place, the home of the late Hon
n. r. Bayard, is a very rare species Of
mimosa. There also is one in Henry
G.. Banning's garden, at the southwest
corner Of Oak and BroOme streets.

DEN0UNCE CATHOLIC
VIEWS OF HALL GAME

New York. Nov. 30.-The National
club of Wahite hall is in a state of
considerable agitation, cables the Lon
don correspondent of the Herald.
A few days ago the general commit
tee was called upon 20 consider the
fact that Hall Caine had opened a
Roman Catholic bazaar a little while
ago in the Isle of Man. He made a
speech in which he announced himself
as belonging to the big chuTNh, the
church outside the churches, saying.
also. that of all the churches the Cath
Ole church was the church of the poor
and speaking of the pope as his holi-
ness and holy father. There were
grounds Of ohense TO court memhErs
of the National club, whose standing
orders say it shall consist of members
who hold the doctrines from the prin-
ciples of the reformed church
The general committee, at its recent
meeting to consider whether Hah
Caine. as member, had not violated
the principles supposed to be held by
its members, passed a resolution de-
nouncing Mr.. Gaines conduct and re-
questing him to give his attention 20

called for an explanation or resigna-
ton. OF, failing either for expulsion.

action, in the course Of which he point
ed out four material changes which he
believed should be made in the rules
as they have existed for several con-
crosses. One of these was to provide
that the right Of recognition. now
lodged in the speaker. should be given
TO the first member addressing the
chair, the second was TO provide for
four suspension days d month instead
of two; the third was to provide for
the revival of the old morning hour"
as it existed before the first congress
Mr.. Reed was speaker. and the fourth
was to provide that senate amendments
to the house bills should be subjected
to the same points of order to which
they would be subject had the amend
ments originated in the house.
Old Rules Good Enough.
Mr.. DalzeII Of Pennsylvania replied
at length to Mr.. Hepburn's argument.
cOntending that the present rules were
an evolution, and had worked so admir-
ably in facilitating the transaction Of
business shat the Democrats desnite
their outcrv against them during the
FiftY-first congress. had not dared To
materially modify them when they
came back into power in the Fifty
score Mr.. Hepburn for harping on the
subject of the rules
The discussion lasted about two
hours. Mr.. Shattuc of Ohio supported
the Dalzeu resolution. Mr. Grow Of
Pennsylvania, though generally in
favor of the old rules. desired a modi-
flea ton which would take away from
the chairman of committees the power
of controlling time on measures before
the house. When Mr. Hepburn's motion
was put it was defeated by an over
Whelming vote, about three 10 one.
He then offered in succession as dis
tinct amendments the four modifca-
tons Of the rules which he had sug-
gested in his argument. These were
in turn voted down The highest vote
which any Of them received was forty
one. No question of poll. vas
