After Mr.. Ford resumed his seat DR..
Robin arose and as an Introductory To
his address. in a condensed form. he
said that the formation of the earth
and lower stratum about Wilmington
are not conducive to flowing artesian
wells and copious supplies of drinking
water.
Il saw Professor Chester OF Della
ware College who is geologist of that
institution and the only man i'm this
country who has made complete
geological study Of Wilmington and
vicinity" said DR.. Robin. He informs
me that IL is an absolute impossibility
to get artesian water from this city
because of the geological formation.
He h's published some papers show
ing that the geological formation is
such that IT. is impossible TO get water
I'm this city. Some people have a
wrong impression about artesian wells.
An artesian well is one in which the
water is bound up by impervious stra-
tum. If you can get the impervious
stratum you can get water. An artes-
ian well is a flowing well.
In this city, with possibly one ex-
ception, 1t may be, they are getting
water from driven wells. In driven
wells they are getting surface water.
A driven well can be driven almost any
place" Speaking of the well at Farm
hurst DR. Robin suggested that the
water obtained there may percolate
from the Delaware river.
Doctor, do you mean that that is
the condition in Camden" inquired Mr..
Ford.
Il understand they get water in
Camden at depth OF sixty feet" said
DR.. Robin. 1T is a sandy soil and they
did not penetrate to impervious strata
and in that case they get only surface
water"
Does the idea that the wells in
Camden are sixty feet deep give you
an impression that the water is from
the Delaware river" asked Mr.. Ford.
1t is water either filtered from the
Delaware river or from the surface" ,"
explained DR.. Robin. He referred to
the artesian well system in Memphis.
which has an artesian well area. The
depth at which they get water there
Is $50 feet. The utmost limit is %,
600 gallons a day. The cost of putting
down such a system would be about
100000 for 100000 gallons. Brook
lyn n. Y, is supplied with driven
wells.
Taking into consideration the fact
of Professor Chester's statement" con-
tinued the speaker; taking into con-
sideration the fact that the wells of 80
or 40 feet and borings already made
are failures, except probably when a
fissure in a rock is struck-taking all
these facts into consideration it would
seem unnecessary TO bother with IT,
IL is claimed by DR. Hancker that his
water is soft which we expect from
surface water. The sanitary aspect
of driven well supply is not any bet
ter than in any shallow well. 1t will
become so saturated with organic mat
ter that harmful bacteria will be gen.
Grated in it,"
At the conclusion President Pyle
suggested that Professor Chester be in
vited to address the board on the mat.

HONEYMOON CUT SHORT
Heiress Marries Cigarette Maker and

from her, mailed from the New Amster-

she had been married the previous We'd

and that they would sail for Europe Sat

The mother of the young woman was
distracted over the news, and after con-
sulting a lawyer, Chief Of Police Jefferis
was dispatched TO New York to apprehend
the couple. As the young woman is "A
years of age, and is, therefore, her own
mistress, with 5000 at her command, no
legal methods could be resOrted to 10
separate the pair, and Chief Jefferis Gbuld
only depend on his arguments to induce
the bride to return to her mother.
Jefferis arrived at the New Amsterdam

return to the mother, whom he pictured
as being utterly prostrated with grief
and his appeal proved effective. The
young bride finally announced that she

procured their passage for Europe on
one of the liners. Jeffers expressed theii
baggage to West Chester. and did moi
leave them until he landed the bride al

The next step taken by Mrs. Zicaliot

may have ben issued against it, Chic
Jeferis was again hurried to New Yorl
to stop payment on any that might turl
up in the meantime. Excepting $500, tha
had been drawn, he found the money in

EDITORIAL OPINION
Diamonds for Everybody.

Diamonds for Everybody.
From the New York sun.
Just how many quarts, or bushels, or
barrels Of diamonds are locked away in
the vaults of the De Beers company is
known only TO those whose business IL
is to keep other people from knowing.
That they hold enough TO control the
market and to regulate the market
prices is wen known TO the world.
Were the product of the De Beers
South African diamond mining proper
ties to be placed on the market as IL
comes from the ground, day by day, or
week by week, two results would imme'
diately follow. one would be a decided
fall in diamond values, and the other a
market subject to spasmodic nuotua-
ton according to the yield of the mines.
AS it is this company which has prac-
tically monopoly of the output regu-
lates the supply i'm accordance with
market conditions. 1t pours out or 1t
withholds, and so maintains prices, GER
tainly to its own advantage, and possi-
bly, to the advantage of all.
News is now az hand which makes
probable one or the other Of two is
sues. The discovery of a new diamond
area is reported from South Africa
Should this prove to be an extensive de-
posit, the De Beers must either contro
Il or effect combination with its pro
pr.etors 10y which the present system
viii be continued. or there will be al
inflLN Of gems into the market whicl
will maize diamonds as common as col
lar buttons.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in n Res
taurant.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent Western trip, was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no.
ticed the advertisement of a well
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. AS he himself was
regular user of the tablets, he began
specializing as to how many of the
other travelling men in the dining room
We're also friends Of the popular rem
edy for indigestion.
He says: Il counted 20 men at the
tables and in the hotel Office took the
trouble to interview them, and was
surprised to learn that nine of the
twenty-three made a practice of TAX
ing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
"One Of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that
at one time he had been obliged to
quit the road, but since using Stuart's
Dyspepsia Toilets had been entirely
free from Indigestion, but he con-
tinued their use, especially while trav-
cling, on account of irregularity in
meals and because. like all travelling
men, he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always what
he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward,
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear of a
sleepless night or any other trouble
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortness
of breath and distress in chest, which
he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach and acidity He had formely used
common soda to relieve the trouble,
but the tablets We're much better and
safer to use.'
After smoking. drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach to
healthy, wholesome condition so eff
fectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase.
which every weak stomach lacks, as
well as nux, hydrastin and yellow
parilla, and can be safely relied on as
as a radical cure for every form of
poor digestion. Sold by druggists
everywhere.
