Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority Of nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form Of female disease. BY far the great.
est number Of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
OF recovery. Female trouble is so common,
so prevalent, that they accept il as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way Of recovery is that they do not under.
stand that it is catsrrh which is the source
Of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine casei
out Of one hundred are nothing but catarrh

THE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

Peter J. Ford, the surviving member
Of the Water Commission. yesterday
named two colleagues. and thus the
department is re-created and ready for
business. lie has named two gentle-
men OF standing IN the community and
who possess considerable business ex-
perience. They come to the discharge
Of their important duties at time
when the public mind is centerod on
the Commission and its affairs. and
when most wholesome lesson has
just been given to all who may enter
into the discharge OF the duties Of
commissioner.
n we have any disappointment over
the selections il is that at least one
man possessing thorough technical
knowledge that might have been Of
great value should have been chosen.
Tho public naturally expected this,
and there were several names mem
toned that gave general satisfaction
We have many prominent men who
understand mechanics and hydraulics
who would have been invalug'Die OF
the board.
However, we are satishedl at the re
suit, for the new men'oers are regard
l aa, al. IA -sllsaSfr iseqags business men. am
il is such men that the department
needs. We trust that they will give Vi
a new deal. and that in the matter o.
Improvement Of our water system the,
will act with dclibcration, allowing
the public fun information of what il
going on.

OPINION
A LIVELY city.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Without venturing an opinion or
hand as to the merits OF Wilmington's
filtration controversy, The North
American begs TO congratulate that
city upon the brisk way i'm which IL
has decided the matter.
II appears that the Water Commits
sion entered into an agreement last
March 20 pay corporation SlS7. 900
for certain plans and patents TO be used
in constructing a water system. The
taxpayers made vigorous protest, and
this is the odd feaure-their protest
was heeded.
Injunction proceedings were taken TO
prevent the payment OF the apparently
eNorbitant price. The Commission
thereupon drew zip second contract
providing for tho payment to the COM
pany of s65.00 This seems TO have
been accepted as confession that the
former price was outrageously high
and IL caused a fresh 0utburst Of civic
wrath. Mayor Bird refused to sign the
contract and defed legal proceedings
to compel him 70 do 70, lie has COM

The value OF medium depends upon
its reaching the people the advertiser
wishes TO influence. The extent of IFS
circulation is secondary considera-

From the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
As community we are compelled to
step a little more lively every year in
order to keep out of the way of street
traffic because of the improvements i'm
motive power. That is the explanation
of the startling increase in the num-
Der of accidents. Few realize the ac-
celerated gait OF all street traffic which
has been compelled by the advent Of
electricity as a motive power both for
street cars and for vehicles. The troll
ley cars move at double the average
speed of the old horse cars. and the
automobiles at a much faster gait
than other vehicles. The natural effect
has been TO quicken the general pace
Of street movement and to make ID
more difficult for inhrm, careless. alb
sent minded. timid and very young
pedestrians TO avoid collisions. Get
ting across crowded thoroughfare is
much more OF venture than It was
a few years ago, for not only are the
trolley ears automobiles travelling at a
faster gait but they are inspiring all
drivers OF horse vehicles to go more
rapidly.

THE ANSWER.

on November 4. the chairman Of the
Union Republican state Committee
transmitted to the chairman of the
Republican Committee proposition
which was designated as a tender look
ing TO harmony.
Yesterday the latter committee met
and formulated reply which was
forwarded to Chairman Alice. 1t is

Its brevity is the hrs, thing that

"The proposition Of your committee
is for common primary election Of
county city and district committees
and Of delegates TO state Convention
TO name a single state Committee.
This is the entire scope Of your pro-
posal" Il Is well 10 bear that in mind.
The proposal contemplated the aban-
donment Of the present organizations
and the creation of a new one.
The answer points out that the po-
litical conditions IN Delaware have not
changed. and that while Addicks con-
tinues to control the Union Republi-
can party the necessity Tor retaining
the Republican organization continues
TO exist.
1t concludes by stating rather signi-
ficantiy that as a matter that may b,

street car conductors. They are gen.

ceptions. The other night fiashily
dressed young man boarded car and
when asked for his fare drew from his
pocket a ten dollar bill. The conductor
couldn't change it. From another
pocket he drew another and flashed it
in the faces OF the admring passengers,
who Of course had never seen so much
money all az one time. Then having
exhibited his wealth he coolly settled
himself in his seat while the conductor
rang up the fare. doubtless calculating
that he would be another nickel short
and there would be that much less for
the babies at home. That was one
man, but there are a pumber of him
