UNCLE SAM HAS
FAITHFUL MAN
r. G. Houston, Custodian, OF
Government Property, Has
Made Improvements
FEDERAL BUILDINGS IN GOOD SHAPE
Offices Of United States Engineer
Smith Among the Finest in City.
Federal Building Will Be Repainted
and Repaired

anu hepdlFSu
During the one year that Collector
Of Port Robert G. Houston has been
custodian Of the Government property
i'm this city. which includes the old as
well as the new Federal buildings, he
has made many important improve
ments. Although many improvements
have been made to the new Federal
Building, many more will be COM
pleted before the first of the year.
The most noticeable change has been
made in the old Federal Building, at
Sixth and King streets. 1t has been
thoroughly renovated and the Govern
ment offices there are now among the
finest in the city. The work was start
ed in the cellar, which has been used
as a bonded warehouse. 1t was on the
second floor that the changes made are
most noticeable These offices are oc-
cupied by Colonel J. A. Smith, United
States engineer, and his corps of as
sistants. The floor was planed down
and all the rotten boards taken cut
The cracked walls were repaired and
papered, New plumbing was put in
and a large quantity of furniture
bought. In aggregate, the work cost
about $500.
The suggestion that the offices be
fitted up in the old building came from
Mr.. Houston, and not from the depart
ment in Washington. To Congress
man Ball belongs the credit for having
the office established here.
The old Federal Building in Lewei
has been rapainted and made to lool
like new.
improvements to New Building
To the new Federal Building i'm
provements costing $1,000 have beer
made. Many others have been planne,
and the work viii started as soOl
as that now under way is finished. Th
walls will be painted where they hav'
been sOiled by rain leaking in. Thl
valuation of the furniture in the build
ing is S13.6S22S
John w. Richards. has been appoint
ed watchman and janitor at old Fed
eral Building. For all the work h
does as custodian, Mr.. Houston doe
not receive a cent in salary.
Manufacturers Do Not Help
Some of the Wilmington manufac
turers do not do all in their power t
make the local custom office appear a
important an office as it is. When the.
import goods they go to New York o
Philadelphia instead Of to this city
If this We're done the local office woul

however, as the articles imported com

COMPARISON.

Statistics show a remarkable
difference between wage conditions
in the United States and Great
Britain, a difference amounting 70
nearly 100 per cent in favor of the
American nottingham. The sta
tistics taken from Great Britain
cover only three cities, viz: Lon
don, Glasgow and Manchester.
We have therefore selected the
three American cities which, on
account of their population, are
most nearly comparable with the
British cities, namely, New York,
Chicago and St. Louis, respective
~.
The comparative figures given
in this item show the wage rates
for the entire period OF 1870 to
1896, inclusive. A comparison Of
these wage rates will show at a
glance that protection America is
decidedly preferable TO free trade

If only for the sake of appearance
alone it is generally advisable to

vegetation that has accumulated

Improvement that this will make in

advantage that it will emove in-

THE wELTMER DECISION.

Justice Peekham, who delivered
the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, reversing the find
ing OF the lower court in the Welt
met case, in passing upon the legal
ily of the Weltner system Of heal
ing, said.
"There can be no doubt that the
influence Of the mind upon the ply
steal condition Of the body is very
powerful, and that hopeful men.
tai state goes far in many cases not
only to alleviate, but even 10 aid
very largely 10 the cure OF an Ill
ness from which the body may
suffer. And il il said that nature
may itself frequently II not gener.
ally heal the Ills Of the body with
out recourse TO medicine, and that il
can not be doubted Ia numerous
cases nature, when left 10 itself,
does succeed ia curing many bodily
Ills. How far these claims are
borne out by actual experience may
be a matter Of opinion. Just exact
ly TO what extent the mental condi.
ton affects the body no one can &C
e~urately or definitely say. One
person may believe il Of tar greater
efficacy than another. bus surely il
can not be said that it Is fraud for
one person TO contend that the mind
has ar effect upon the body and It's

a vast majority Of intelligen, people
might be willing 10 admit or be-
lieve. Even intelligent people may
