Almost every dying person is liable
to be allured by the solemn attitude OF
the company and the restrained or
flowing torrents of tears and emotions
to an alternating conscious and uncon-
scious comedy Of conceitedness. The
seriousness with which every dying
person is treated has undoubtedly been
the very finest enjoyment of his life to
many poor despised devil and sort

for much privation.-Works of Metz

proach of September, 1901, have pre-
ferred positions in the daily news.
The great steel strike, the career Of
Admiral Schley, the contributions of
DR.. Koch to the modern methods of
dealing with consumptio on, the rapid
advance of the horseless carriage, the
conditions in Kansas after the severe
summers drought, are some of the
subjects treated in this number, and
each subject is dwelt with by an ex-

THERE is considerable feeling in
New Castle county among the tax pay
ers about the great advance in tax
rates, In Wilmington a meeting was
called and organized by appointing AL
fred Gawthrop, chairman; Jerome
Bell, vice-president; VIM. T. Kurtz,
secretary; and Howell England, treas
urer. The object is to reform the tax
rate, which is rapidly growing. The
action as indicated above is aimed at
the Levy Court and its extravagances.
The reform has now extended to the
Trustees of the Poor. 1t is explained
in the following from the Middletown
transcript:
"Mr Joseph G. Parker, the member
of the trustees of the poor from St.
Georges Hundred is making as good a
record for himself in that body as Mr..
M. N. Willis is making in the Levy
Court. Both are very much in the
minority, but both are brave enough
to speak their minds on all occasions
when the peoples money is being
wasted on jobs and other illegal plans.
Mr.. Parker has recently called atten-
tion to the extravaganza of the trustees
OF the poor, particularly in the matter
of outside relief, and has shown by the
figures how the expenditures have
grown in the past few years. Taking
1892 as beginning point, when the
number of inmates was at least Is per
cent. larger than at present, the appro
priation for all expenditures was S2S,
600. During the hard times of 1903.
--ssS5 ana 1895, this amount was found
10 be insufficient and the Levy Court
raised the appropriation to $50, 900, an
increase OF twenty-five per cent. Fol
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901,
even this amount was too small,
although as stated above the popula-
tion had decreased over fifteen pei
cent. At the July meeting of the
Trustees, over So, 200 worth of warrants
were drawn, while those drawn at the
April meeting had exceeded the appro-
priation nearly $4,000, thus making al
Overdraft of more than $4,000, or more
than 40per cent. of the whole amount
expended in 1902. To put it in another
way the Trustees have spent S43, OOt
last year and have asked aud beer
granted an additional appropriation o
$4,000 for a new pest house, making
total of $4,000 expended in one year
Perhaps it might be as well for the cit
izens organization to look after th,
Trustees of the Poor and call the At
tOrney-Generars attention to the mat
ter"

MOCK WEDDING IN "ERISHT0WN."
Pleasant Occasion at the Home Of Miss Edith
Beck, Main Street, Monday Afternoon.

Miss M. Edith Beck is entertaining
at pleasant "House Party" Miss
Caroline Peters, of Snow Hill, Md;
Miss Beatrice Graham and Miss Ger
trude Sallade, of Washington. d. G.
With the other guests at the house
they have been having a jolly time,
but Monday afternoon a novel diver
sion took place that they will remem-
Der for some time to come. 1t was a
"Mock Wedding" that was very sue
cessfully carried out. 1t was origi-
nally intended that the girls should
enjoy the ceremony to their own lik-
ing, for one OF the number imperson
ated the groom and donned a gentle
mans full dress suit, sphinx and span,
and had quite captivated the wedding
participants with her "gallantry." 1t
was too good to keep. The gentlemen
of the house caught on to the ''racket"
and when the hour for the wedding ar
rived, which took place on the lawn at
9 o'clock, the men were there, attired
in their frock coats and silk hats. To
the amusement of everybody present
the ceremony was performed before a
bank of palma, with lawn flowers all
around them and the arch, ''the blue
dome of heaven" The impersonations
were as follows: Bride, Miss Beatrice
VanDevant Graham; groom, Mr.. G.
Sallade Presser; bridesmaids, Miss
Carolyne Massey Peters, Miss Mary
Edith Beck; ushers, Mr.. James Benja-
min Krusen, Mr.. Charles LeCompte
train bearers, Mr.. Vernon Phillips,
Mr.. Edward Beck; minister, 'Rev. y
Edward Harrison Beck. The wedding
march from Logengrin was chanted by
Miss Alice Beck as the wedding train
proceeded from the house to the beau
tlful lawn. The bride was becOmingly
attired in white organdie, veil and
pearl trimmings and carried huge
bunch of hydrangea grand-de-hOra
The bridesmaids wore white point-de
spirit with pink trimmings. During
the ceremony "snap shots" were taker
of the wedding party, after which the
"bride and groom" received the hearty
congratulations of their friends ant
their honeymoon" ended with a triI
''to the clouds"

THE three cities of New York, Phil
adelphia and Chicago are attracting
much attention and causing remark
about the corruption of their city gov
ernments. Each is pronounced the
"wickedest. A New York reporter
gives the following incident in a Fri
day paper which lets in food of light
on how things are done in that city.
''The most sensational incident of
the day occurred at a police trial, conduc-
red by Deputy Commissioner Devery.
For the first time in his life Devery
was defied by one Of his own police
men. This officer is Edward O'Neill.
He was before Devery on a charge of
assaulting and unnecessarily arresting
a Third avenue shopkeeper. He
claimed he was only doing his duty,
but Devery fined him thirty days pay.
Then the accused policeman turned on
his chief, to the latter's amazemeni
and anger. ''I'll take this matter III
higher" he said, 'I know what's the
matter wouldn't give up S25 for &
transfer. l suppose if I had stood I
shakedown 1 would be all right. y
The Deputy Commissioner was in
rage and said he would have O'Neil
examined as to his sanity. The police
man went directly to the district attor
ney's Office and told his story. He de
clared that he had been transferred
six times since April and had been per
secuted. Whether his other revela
tions will serve the purposes of Messrs
Philbin and Jerome in going 'rhighe
up remains to be seen."

CONGRESSMAN Hull, of Iowa, chair
man of the house committee on Mill
tary affairs, who has arrived from
five months tour of China, japan and
the Philippines, is deeply impressed
with the possibilities of the new Amer
lean possessions in the Orient. He
says: If were young man l don't
know where I would rather go than to
the Philippines. For man of brains
and industry the line opens vast
prospect in almost every line of busi-
ness for one who has the grit to go
there and stick to it.
The mineral, agricultural and tim
Der resources of these islands consti
tute field for commercial enterprise
that Is practically unlimited. OF
course, the present condition of brig
andage makes it exceedingly unsafe
for people to settle in the island away
from the protection of the military
posts. But the people, or the great
majority, desire peace and safety and
are doing all they can to help the
troops attain this end.
OF course it is impossible to make
an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental.
Therefore, the Filipino probably never
will be an American citizen in the
broad sense that is understood by all
that title conveys to the man born of
white parents in the United States.
But as soon as he gets little educa-
tion and becomes little more impreg-
mated with our ideas, and loses some
of the ideas acquired by 300 years 1850
citation with the Spaniard, the Filipino
will be citizen in spirit, patriotism,
industry and education, and will be
worthy of participating to the fullest
extent in all the benefits of the govern
ment.
Of course we shall have to govern
