LEAPS
into SUMMER
Warm Weather Has Come to
Stay-Temperative Far
Above Normal
CITY SWELTERS IN SUMMERS GRASP
Temperature Has Been Rising Since
Sunday, and Today is the Warmest
of the Year-No Rain in

sunday, and Today is the Warmest
of the Year-NO Rain in
Sight.
The warmest day of the year dawned
this morning and Wilmington is sweltering
under burning sun and people are trying
ito find shady places to keep cool.
Spring turned to summer with a sudden
bound which caught the city unawares.
The temperature has been rising steadily
since Sunday and the normal mark has
been passed by many points.
The city has been practically without
ram for more than three weeks. Last
night for the first time in that period the
hoodgaees opened, but those who were
praying for rain were doomed to disap-
polntment. Very little rain fell; in fact.
not enough ito dampen the dry earth.
Al Z o'clock this morning the ther-
mOneter at Belts drug store register
ed ~, exactly IA points above the nor
maj Tor this time of the year. At 10
O'CLOCK the mercury had risen TO "a.
ana at noon had climbed to "a degrees.
The air today is dry and hot, of the
Kind which rapidly consumes all vege-
table life. Not bit of moisture can be
detected in the atmosphere, and not a
rain cloud can be seen in the skies. In
the open sections nearby the city the
heat is more intense and both man and
beast are beginning to suffer. The
country roads are heavy and thick with
dust, the fields are Darched and fow-
ers plants, and grass look withered
In the city the warmth is making it,
self felt. Persons are beginning to feel
uncomfortable, and many of them are
sweltering. Everybody made a hasty
ruch for a change of wearing apparel,
and although the regular season for
straw hats is still some days off, airy
head coverings and more pretentious
Panamas are out in full bloom, and the
summer girl has begun her merry reign.
In anticipation of heat prostrations,
some of the hospitals put up their heat
tents. and preparations have been made
to attend to sufferers.

The Regular Republicans have a
bunch Of campaign cries. They are so
numerous as to be embarrassing. Here
are a few:
We believe in homo rule.
We favor local self-govern-
ment.
Wilmington should be gov

We refuse to be governed
from Claymont.
United we can sweep the
city. Down with boss who
would divide us.
Wilmington must not be
made a side-show to Addicks-

We are opposed to yellow

These are only few OF them; tn
possibilities are unlimited. II other

At the adjourned meeting Of the
Presbytery OF New Castle. which oc-
ours today the question Of condemn
ing bribery at elections win in all
probability again be taken up. We cam
not see why there should be any hesi-
fancy in the matter. Il is an abstract
question, and is no more political than
other moral questions are political II
the Presbytery should refuse to con-
denim bribery because il is thought
that a certain political party is guilty
Of It. then it would be put in the posi-
tion Of one who ceases to attack evi
because evil is powerful. That woul,
not be Presbyterianism.

The City Council met Monday night at the News office. Mir. King, represent ing the School Board, was present and a resolution was passed authorizing the issuance of school warrants to cover the amount of the ecurrent indebt- edness. Attorney z. R.

 The Juneau Dispatch says that "the Juneau Record Miner has maliciously attacked the side of decency and re- form, and tried to bring the court of our country into contempt" So, so. We knew that the editor of the Record Miner had been accused of this thing, but as the trial had not yet taken place, we were willing to give tho poor devil the benefit of the doubt, until he was proven guilty. But we judge from the above statement that the trial has al- ready been held, in the editorial rooms of the Dispatch, and it would now be fitting and proper for all liberty loving people to accept the verdict rendered, without murmur.
 The Skagway Alaskan says that Capt. Goss, of the Canadian steamer Amur, reports that on his last trip up when abreast of the Five Finger light, he was signaled by the light keeper, who rowed out to the ship with one of his assistants, in small row boat with one pair of oars. Asked why he did not use larger boat, the light keeper said that the station was out of prov isions and that one of the three men had left over three months ago for supplies and had not been heard from since. He was given sugar, tobacco, fresh vegetables and anumber of other stores that were lacking at the station. The sea was rolling high and Capt. Goss laid his ship by until the men had safely reached the lee of the island.

Henry w. Day.

DIED, at Treadwell City, Alaska, Monday, February 16, 1903, Henry w. Day. beloved husband of Elizabeth, and father of Grace and Blanche Day, aged 53 years, native of Canada.
 Early Monday morning the sad news was brought up from the mines that Henry Day had fallen down the shaft at the Mexican and was killed. He had completed his nights work and was coming off shift, taking the skip at the 44O level for the surface. He carried powder box with him, and in some way, just as he went to get on the skip, he lost his balance and fell down the shaft to the bulkhead at the eco level, a distance of about 22o feet. Death was instantaneous.
 Henry Day had lived on Douglas 1s- land for some years and was known as a hardworking, honest man. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Grace and Blanche, on Douglas Island, whose grief in the loss of husband and father, is shared by large circle of friends.
 The funeral services were held yester- day afternoon at the Friends church at 2:3o o'clock in Douglas, Rev. Jackson officiating. The interment was at the Douglas cemetery.

there is much to be said, II rs certain
at any rate that Ceryantes although he
hardly"sneered SPANS chlvalry away
yet put an end TO the dreary and inter-
minabe tales Of the Grand Cyrus and
his fellows, which until then formed the
model Of European romance. But
Senior Galdoz will have II that It was
from Spain that the great English now

first idea Of irony which they afterward
converted into English "humor' In
France, he tells us, the same lnsplra-
ton, though losing somewhat Of us
pquancy and grace, added to Itself the
power Of analysis and of expansion, and
caused the merely picturesque tale OF
adventure to become also psychological
These may not be every ones opinions
but they are modestly put forward, and
as lockers on see most of the game
their truth may be more apparent III
the Canary Islands, whence senior
Galdoz writes than In the middle OF
the literary movement" He further
tells us that IN spain Itself the PACK,
wash, so to speak, Of the literary cur
rent has produced series OF movers
dealing with ascctlc or mystical SUD
iects Of which he takes the romahoes
of Senior Juan Valera as the type.
This Is worth noticing because IS
curious how short has been In the other
European countries the reign OF the
mystical novel or short story. ~ the
end OF the eighteenth and at the begin
ming Of the nineteenth century tales
