dockets.
In justice to Mr. Reinhardt, we should
emember that he has used his efforts
Ito avoid litigation where it would ne
cessitate the employment OF outside
counsel. but the various departments
have gone on regardless OF the expense
fnvolved. Council has been the great
est sinner, and most Of this 10000
spent in counsel fees, is the result of
it's carelessness or extravaganza. The
suit against the Water Board is an in
stanse: in that case Council did not
stop with an adverse decision Of the
court. but took an appeal which will
mean further cost. 1t is also just to
the present City Solicitor TO note that
most of this expense was incurred
while a former official was in office.
The remedies are apparent; we have
too many departments. AS long as
these continue there must be differ
ences between them. leading to litiga-
ton. When such differences occur, the
only course is to employ outside coun-
sci. II Council and its various com
mittees were responsible for the gov
ernment of the city. the City Solicitor
could attend to all the legal duties. II
he could not, then he should be given
other assistants, employed regularly at
salaries. This would be
cheaper than our present system.
There are ways of stopping this leak

The Johnstown Physicians

from the IlttHDufB lines.
All honor to the physicians Of Johns
town. They are heroes of tho highest
type They richly deserve the applause
OF their profession and the thanks Of
the laymen of civilization. Physicians
are a necessity when calamity comes,
and the average physician is always
ready and usually willing to give
abundantly of his scientific knowledge
and medical skill TO salve wounds and
save lives. The Johnstown physicians,
however, went a step farther than the
average physician goes.
After the mine horror in the ill-
fated but never suppressed city last
week, the physicians there did not
waste time in having their Office signs
polished nor consume money in rein
forcing their stock of bandages while
they waited I'm their offices a call for
their services. but with their medicine
chests they headed rescuing parties and
went into the bowels of the earth and
into the very jaws of tine treacherous
elements which wrought the calamity
and gave Of what they had just where
and when Il was most needed.

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
Crowninshield, the Sailor
nm tho Rnlfinnnrn Amcricnn


From the Baltimore American.
The appointment Of Rear-Admiral
Crowninshield to command the Euro
pean station was not hailed with
paeons of delight. The record of the
man as a sailor. and as an executive
was not sHch as to Justify The belief
that he would measure up to the mark
in either capacity AS a sailor he left
Boston for New York in the hattleship
Maine without sufficient coal or ship
stores for the voyage and narrowy cs-
capped a court-martial for mis- failure
to properly perform his duties before
his vessel left port
AS an executive, since assuming COM
mand of the European station, he came
within very narrow margin of caus-
ing trouble between this country and
Italy by permitting his endorsement of
the findings of the court Of inquiry that
investigated the Chicago affair at Ven
ice to be made public-that endorse
ment containing a vicious attack upon
the Italian judiciary.
And now, while entering the harbor
of Christana. his Ship. the Illinois,
went ashore in a channel that is being
constantly navigated with safety ty
competent sailors. The Illinois will
have to go into dock. the Government
will have to pay the bills and Crownin-
shield has added another mark to his
remarkable record for inefficiency

A census bulletin just issued shows
that Delaware has over 5000 more un-
married men above the age of twenty
years, than unmarried women above
the same age This is likely to
lead to wrong conclusions, since the
age at which men marry is more adj
vanced than that Of women. It is the
rarest thing for a man to marry below
the age Of twenty. while many OF our

His Ruling Passion.

A little old man, STOPPING and white
haired, with rusty hat and long used
coat, was bending over the rows Of
volumes in dusty, antique bookstore
not many miles from East Twenty
third street the other day. There was
about him something Of the flavor Of
old time books and last century litera-
ture. He might have stepped out Of

shabby collectors absorbed in their

pockets from behind, pockets already
we'll drained, though, by the collectors

So this was how Quong Hing came
to be waiting at the depot He saw
the locomotive swing around the curve
into the maze Of tracks. Then, just as
he was bracing himself and brushing
the final specks from his uniform, he
heard the familiar beat Of the big drum
and, looking behind him, saw all the
bonneted lassies of the Clark street
corps drawn up in line to welcome the
bride.
Ouong Hing said "Glory Hallelujah"

more fervently in his life. In another
minute Nah ing was in his arms, the
lassies waving their tambourines about
the couple and the one eyed colored
