RATES
MAY Be ADVANCED
Local Firms Thought Raise
Would Be Inevitable But
Not SO Soon

The question of raising tho freight
rate Dy the Pennsylvania railroad on
several articles, principally these
which are shipped in great quantities
is being discussed TO some length by
local manufacturers.
After the wage scale of the road had
been raised, il was expected that some
thing like the contemplated raise
would be the result, but it was not
thought it would follow so quickly
upon the advance. In speaking OF the
affair today, an officer Of one OF the
largest concerns in the city, said;
"Of course the contemplated raise In
the rates of the company will inter-
fere with manufacturing interests for
a time. but 1t will be only temporary
as they will be forced TO adjust the
prices of their products according Ia
the cost of its manufacture.
1--WE thought the advance was In
evitable, as IL did not look plausible
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to pay the increase in the wage
scale from the treasury direct, but did
not imagine il would bo so soon"
others spoke in the same manner
claiming the advance had been expect.
ed, and as a consequence that theiI
prices would in the future have to un-

Bars same W. c. T. U.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 19.-Milwau-
KEGS many beer saloons and beer bars
are going to cause the city to lose tho
large convention of the National W. c.

scented to come to this city, and the
Milwaukee members started out TO
make arrangements for the meeting.
Hall after hall was inspected, only
to find that those large enough TO ac-
commodate the 1900 white ribboners
who are coming all had bar connec-
tlons. The white ribboners absolutely
refused TO hold their meeting in hall
that has bars, and It IS not improbable
that the convention will be given up.

FAVOR CURFEW BELL
Members OF Charity Conference
Would Have Such Law Adopted


After an interesting session the char
ity conference, held under the auspices
of the Associated Charities, in this city,
for several days, ended yesterday at
the Unitarian Church. The most i'm
portant subject discussed in the after
noon was the "curfew law" and a
paper urging the adoption of such q
law for Wilmington was read by the
Rev. J. l.. Nichols, of the Second M.
p. Church. A number of others join
ed in the discussion and favor the en-
actment of such an ordinance. A set
of resolutions, offered by the Rev.
Nichols was then adopted.
"The Cigarette Evil" was the topic
Of a paper read by the Rev. w. l. S.
Murray. He called attention to the in
furious and evil effects Of this habit.
Tobacco, he continued, was dangerous
to the youth, and doubly so when
medicated. Following the paper read
by DR.. Murray, a resolution was
adopted protesting against their use
for minors, appealing 10 parents for
care in this matter and to the city Off
cials to enforce the law.
The evening meeting was presided
over by John S. Rossell. who, intro
ducing J. Newlin Gawthrop, spoke
upon practical Results Of the New
Castle County Workhouse." Chief
Warden Meserve, of the institution,
was present and gave interesting infor-
nation relative to the daily routine
of the prisoner. Miss Sarah Pyle de-
liyered an interesting talk on the Peo-
pies Settlement work.

Defeat the Wilmington Team
in Fast Game at Pyle's
Cycle Academy

The Wilmington basketball team was
again defeated last might at Pyle's
Cycle Academy. The Philadelphia team
did the track and the score was 81 to
II.
The game was exciting. despite the
big score, but it seems the Whining
ton team cannot get a game. The play
ers are fast as individuals, but are
sadly deficient in team work. The work
of Reynolds was appreciated, especially
his shooting of fouls. There was a big
crowd present and they were disap-
pointed, as it was expected Wilmington
would win.
This Game Was Warm One
The contest between the West End
Third and Battalion Reserves was one
in which there was not a dull moment.
It was pulled off before the big game,
and both teams played fast ball, the
West End winning by il to 6.
