The Every Evening says: There
Is no doubt that the taxpayers of
Wilmington would ch4erfully bear
the expense Of sending their City
Councilmen to the annual sessions
of the League OF American Munici-
palities if they cJult have the as
surance that the members attended
these sessions in the proper spirit.
and protited theleby. But when
they know that the affair is merely
q junket at the public expense
they are justified in their opposi-
ton. And this is why the people
object to the City Councilman en-
joying an annual junket at their eX-
pense.'
1t is not necessary for City Can
Gil to take all the city Off sials in

Of education on how to run city
rvernment. Five members OF
Council should be sufficient to bring
back an intelligent report of what

IT has always been a sure sign of
a wet spell Of weather when the
Brandywine 81 umit camp com
mences, but this year may he an eX-
ception and we sincerely hope 50.
The thirty-fourth annual camp
meeting at BraudyWile Summit
commenced last evening. The Rev.
DR.. r. H. Adams, d. D., Of Union
M. E. Church, Will have charge of
the spiritual end Of it. 1t bids fair
to be the largest camp ever held a.
this popular camp meeting resort.
Its popularity does not seem to lag.
There is still an old tim memory
that clings to this yearly camp and
numerous families take advantage
of the camp to enjoy an outing in
the woods
FIVE colli.rie' ar useless in the
Shenandoah district, having au rS-
timated value Of ST 500. 600, by rrl-
son Of having been floDle by heavy
rains and have been permanently
abandoned by the cDmpanie, own
ing them. Only about fourteen out
OF thlrty-slX COllierles are III u con-
dition for immediate operation if the
strike is ended. The abandonment
OF the five COllerieS will compel
1000 miners to seek employment in
other parts Of the cDal region. A
full resumption Of the coal mining
will not take place this year AMI in
consequence the tendency Of coal
prices will be upward rather ihan
downward. The situation is quiet
at Shenandoah.
OUR detectives have a Job On hand
to try and ferret out the men who
have attempted holdups on the New
port pike in the vicinity of Folly
Woods. This use to be IA lonely
and favOrite spot for highwaymen
to ply their calling The parties
should be run down if possible and
made to serve term in the County
WOrkhouse doing the lOckstep.
That is a nice step that all knights
of the road should have to take to
remind them that it pays to let
other people travel the country
roads unmolested. A pistol is a
real handy thing to have along
with you if you are compelled to
travel the Newport pike after dark.
THE president Of the United Pow
er and Transportation Company,
which operates the Wilmington aud
Chester Traction Company. has Of
fered reward Of 800 fUr infOrma-
ton that will lead to the arrest of
she parties who placed the obstrur-
ton on the trolley tracks near Holly
Oak on Sunday night. Persons
who would be guilty Of such Il das
tardly deed, would not hesitate to
kill a person for the booty they can
secure. Hanging if caught, would
be too good for them.
The suicidal mania has broken
out among the females. Every day
you read Of some women commit
ting suicide The latest is Mrs.
Grace Fisher, wife Of George L.
Fisher, of Wyoming, who killed
herself with revolver. The WON

her right senses. The people, for
