TRANsFER on rRIsoNERs

Our citizens are in the dark regard
ing the matter Of the removal Of the
prisoners from the Jail to the work
house. A few days ago the Commits
sioners Of the latter institution made
a formal demand upon the Sheriff to
transfer the prisoners within ten days.
But before the time had expired, the
notice was rescinded. and there the
matter rests. We do not know what
plans the Workhouse Commissioners
may have but there is a possibility
that they may decide to have the
matter legally determined in order
that no injustice may be done, and
that the conduct of no official may be
called into question.
We can understand the reluctance OF
the Sheriff to release the prisoners and
turn them over to another authority
before the rights in the matter hav,

NATION BOWED
IN SYMPATHY
Impressive Memorial Services
Observed in Many Cities
Without Encouragement Capital
Ci[y Ceased From All Work and
Movement at 2.3O O'clock

Washington, Sept. 2O-Twenty years
after the death of Garfield the nations
capitol was again in mourning; the
wheels of government were locked and
the voices of the people were lifted
in prayer for the soul Of President
Mckinley. while his mortal remains
were being committed to the tomb in
his Ohio home.
The city gave evidence in most i'm
pressive manner that its heart was
with Canton in the solemn hour of
President McKinley's funeral. At ex-
actly half past two o'clock (half past
one in Canton) the city ceased from
labor, practically from locomotion, for
five minutes. There was no official proc
lamation requiring such observance of
the funeral hour, nor had there been
any general agreement for such OBJ
servance. But when the hour came, as
if by common instinct, men, women
and children, white and black, came to
a sudden halt in whatsoever they were
engaged and sat or stood as still as
statues wheresoever they CHANGED to be.
Street cars throughout the city we're
at a standstill, and generally the car
operatives and their passengers united
in a silent service which caused spec
tators to look on as if it were the hush
OF being newly born" Telegraph in
struments. typewritting machines, ele-
vators. indeed, all the appurtenances
Of business throughout the capitol we're,
for the time, noiseless, and the great
city was as quiet as a prairie.
1t was a beautiful contribution to the
nations breath of prayer, and it is safe
to say that Washington, never before
in its history, beheld so unique and
striking, nor so spontaneous and I'M
conventional a token of respect and
love for any man.
To the people of Washington the
late President Mckinley was more than
an official, he was their kindly guar
dian and they rendered their tributes
Of respect with their whole hearts. The
people in accordance with President
Roosevelt's proclamation repaired TO
their churches to attend the memorial
services and rarely have the places OF
worship been so crowded. All denomi-
nations, Protestant, Catholic and Jew
united in these. The Metropolitan NJ. Z
church, where Mr.. Mckinley wor-
shipped, was the center of interest. and
here the services were more impressive
than elsewhere. The presidents pew

AFTERWARDS

One OF the saddest tasks in life isl
taking up the burden Of responsibility
after some brave heart has laid i'll
down. Each mature life has had ex-
periences OF this nature-a readjust-
ment. the assumption OF new duties
and new relations after the departure
OF friends and kindred. What is true
of the individual IS true Of the nation.
The burden has shifted from one man
TO another. The wisdom and expert
ence Of the fallen one will not avail
his successor; he must work out the
problem without that assistance. 1t to
him is a problem, new and difficult
For two weeks the minds of the Ameri-
can people have been absorbed in the
tragedy which occurred at Buffalo;
hearts have been heavy, and all the
people have, in a measure, neglected
their vocations with an earnest wish
TO fittingly show the sentiments which
have inspired them. But there is an
memorable law which compels our at
tention to the details Of bread-win-
ming. Man must live, and it is decreed
that by the sweat Of our brow we shall
eat our bread This admits of little
pause, even for the expression OF oul
grief, and it is better so. Healthy
normal life demands unremitting toll
and the dead are honored most highly
not by exhibitions of grief, but by thu
heroic doing Of the things which fal

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Baseball As i Should Be

Baseball as it should be played, was
shown on last Saturday afternoon,
when the draughtsmen of the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Company crossed
bats with the clerks Of the RepaunO
Chemical Company, on the rougt-cut
diamond Of the Wilmington Military
Academy. Major Blackford did not
know that he was compromising a fell
ony by giving the bali players the use
OF the schools ball grounds.
The game abounded in features, and
the score was 20 to 16 in favor of the
Dynamite Makers.
Lawson, pitcher for the Chemicals,
outdid himself in his excellent field
work and acrobatic performances. He
was great,and at one point in the game
took a tumble to himself. and standing
on his head tried to catch a fly ball
with his feet. The bali struck Law
sons feet and was mashed fiat.
Harrington is a good player, but
doesn't understand the game He
thought that he must not take his foot
off OF third base even to catch a fly, so
all he did was to grab at the ball as it
u
nest grabs. 1t was the opinion of those
who witnessed the game that If Har-
rngton had been made Of good India
rubber he might have caught at least
one of the many fly balls that came his
way. The Wayfarer viewed the game
through a field glass while perched in
tree a safe distance from the scene Of
reckless confusion.
Mr.. Coy acted as short stop to Mr.
Harrington, and the game went on I'M
molested by the police.
Mr.. Cassidy was an active partici-
pant in the game and was in the centre
Of the general disorder. He is so sore
that the long corridors of the Equi
table Building echo with his groans
whenever the game is referred to. He
will recover
Booker played as never fielder play
ed before. He made slides and glides on
tho wet, slippery grass and invariably
sid from ten to twelve feet beyond
the place where the ball lay.
Bonham and Coy made two phe-
nomenal throws from the field, and sue
ceeded in putting two of the shipbuild-
ers out of business. They received the
congratulations of all parties con-
cerned.
After a pantomime lasting for two
thirds of the game, Fred I1oldman was
taught to quit nursing the ball when
it came his way, and send it on its
mission. He proved that he had the
right name by the way he he'd the
| ball.
Many other features marked the
game. The general opinion is that
there were more mosquitoes than flies
caught by the players on both sides.
The boat builders made more errors
than the chemicals, as the score will
show. There seems to be a mystery as
TO who kept the score.
There will be a return game played
in the near future, Providence and
lsoreness permitting. No umpires will
lie allowed on the field.

no nuILD A MONUMENT

TWO days since the Evening Journal
made the suggestion that a fund be
raised to erect monument in some
public place in Wilmington TO the
memory of William Mckinley. There
were several responses Immediately.
This seems to us the proper time to
place thematter before our citizensand
10 ascertain their wishes. We think It
would be eminently fitting and proper,
but we shall not urge the matter with
out the sanction OF public approval.
We are pleased 70 see that our esteem
ed contemporary, the Morning News,
has adopted our suggestion this morn
ing. and we hope for the assistance Of
the other papers. and with their help
we shall keep the matter before the at
tention OF our citizens till the public
wish is known Meanwhile We shall
continue to publish the names OF all
subscribers who indicate to us their
desire to contribute to the fund.
We regard our work. however, rs
temporary, and suggest that If IL be-
comes apparent that the people wish
to build this monument a committee
be appointed by the Mayor, and n
local bank made the depository. II
may be desirable TO allow the school
children TO contribute, and while this
is not usually desirable, yet this oc-
casion is extraordinary

We regret that the Every Evening
seeks to belittle the efforts Of our PEG
pie TO erect a monument to the late
President Mckinley. True 1t did not
originate the plan, but the purpose
arises above any personal prejudice or
consideration. Is it not better to see
what the public feeling is, before
throwing cold water on the plans Of

honor enough for all;the Every Even

originating the enterprise if it will act

Certain OF our citizens seem TO re-
gard the business hours when there are
many pedestrians on the street, as an
appropriate time to wash their pave
ments. 1t is fast growing into a nul-
sance, and we suggest that It should
be stopped. 1t is all wrong that wo-
men and chSeren in passing should
be subjected to a flood Of water In
most cities the hours for washing pave
ments are restricted, and we suggest
that the hour OF in the morning is
the latest period when 1t should be al
lowed. Council should recognize the
necessity of providing for some resttic-
tion by ordinance. We have received
several complaints, and have been
urged TO protest against the contin-
uance OF this nuisance. II is the re-
suit, undoubtedly, OF want OF
thought but no pavement should be
flooded after people are moving on
the street, and il is proper to prohibit
IL by ordinance.
