One of the Only "Kel.., Play..

An ancient baseball fan tells this
story To illustrate the quickness and
thickness of Mike Kelly, the one time
king OF the green diamond:
"A game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching. and Mike
Kelly was sitting on the bench when a
foul which Bennett could not possibly
get goes up in the air toward the
bench, and Kelly, being captain, yells
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out of the game, and at the same time
he puts on a mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangiing a long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
in play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by a player in the
game, so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought of
Kelly, even if il did not work."

A LONG SENTENCE.
One That Discounted the Longest
One Evarts Ever Uttered.

Abram s. Hewitt had a very nimble
wit and dearly loved a joke. He was
once a guest at dinner which includ-
ed Recorder Smyth and Senator Evarts.
The recorder was poking fun at the
senator and read from a newspaper
clipping what purported to be SEN
tence from recent speech made by
the senator, but which was In reality
wholly fictitious, as the senator knew
quite well. At its conclusion the laugh
was long and hearty at Mr.. Evarts' ex-
pense, and no one laughed longer or
heartier than the senator himself.
AS soon as the laughter had subsidized
Mr.. Hewitt suddenly leaned across the
table and. looking rather sternly into
the smiling face of the recorder, said In
a we'll assumed tone of reproach:
''That certainly is remarkable sen.
tence, your honor, but criticism of ii
does not come well from you IL today 8
newspapers are to be believed. for they
contain sentence OF much greater
length which is attributed to you"
"Why-why, how is that, Mr.. Hew
itt?" inquired the recorder. with con.
siderable confusion.
Because" said Mr.. Hewitt, with the
utmost gravity and that grim smile
which always accompanied his best
sayings. you are there quoted as ut
tering sentence that was to last
through the whole life OF the prisoner"

soIomon's Horses.


BY great many people Arabia Is
supposed TO be the home OF the horse
From ancient Roman. Grecian and
Jewish history we readily learn that
the horse was unknown in Arabia long
after he was a common factor in the
life of southern Europe. The horse
was scarcely known TO the Hebrews
prior to the days of Solomon, that
worthy and illustrious sovereign hav-
ing been brought into closer contact
with the horse by his marriage to u
daughter OF Pharaoh, the reigning king
of Egypt, whose gorgeous wedding out
tit was supplemented by large mum
Der of elegant horses, adapted alike TO
the service of war and the chase.
The appearance OF those beautiful,
animals as they sped swiftly along the
streets of Jerusalem excited the envy
OF few Jealous princes, but added TO
Solomon's popularity with the masses.
After his marriage with the Egyptian
princess Solomon began buying horses
from his father-in-law. and SO rapidly
did he multiply them by purchase and
breeding that those kept for his own
use required, as ii Is written, 1000
stables and 10000 stalls"

illusions of greatness; mirage, gilt

the broad light plays on countless
graves of those once called great, but
now forgotten, upon whose gravestone

The Railways Merger Scheme.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The City Councils Committee on
Street Railways has approved the or
dinance authorizing the merger OF a.
half dozen Of the elevated railways for
which the Rapid Transit Company has
received franchises. This extraordi-
nary and important authorization was
consummated in less than four min
utes,, the committee thus displaying the
same inconsiderate haste, the same
contempt for public interests, which
We're shown by Councils in passing the
original ordinances.
The object of merging these several
proposed lines OF elevated railways is
TO enable the Rapid Transit COMPANY
TO avoid its chartered obligations. il
being obligated to begin the construc-
ton Of all these lines at certain speci-
fed dates in the near future. failing
to do which the franchises would re-
vert to the city. Should Councils
adopt the committees recommenda-
ton to merge the different lines. thew
viii all become under the ordinance
theoretically and, as the Public Ledger
believes, practically, a single line. to
wit; the Market street line. Already
an excavation on a small scale has
been made on that street as an indica-
ton Of the companys intention TO re.
ally construct this route. and should
Councils give their sanction to the
merger, it is wholly improbable that
any of the other several lines will ever
be constructed. The charters will still
be the company's and will be used to
prevent all competing lines being built

PERSHING' MEN
CAPTURE SULTAN
American Troops Take Ten
Forts and Kill Over 100
Natives
AMERICAN LOSS WAS TWO DEAD

Manila, May S.-Captgin Pershing's
column has defeated the Sultan OF
Amparuganos strong force of Moros in
the Tara0a country. on the east shore
OF Lake Laneo, Island OF Mindanao.
The Americans captured ten forts. One
hundred and fifteen Moro3 were killed,
13 were wounded and 60 were made
prisoners. The Moros captured in
cluded the Sultan. Two Americans
were killed and seven were wounded.
The ten forts constituted serious and
strong positions on the banks of the
Taraca river, and from them the Moros
vigorously resisted Captain Pershing's
advance. The American troops at
tackled the forts and captured eight of
them without suffering any losses,
though the SO obsolete cannon mounted
on the fortifcations were served with
the best of the enemy's ability The
garrison Of the ninth fort resisted
fiercely and Captain Pershing ordered
the fort to be shelled and captured by
assault, which was done. Lieatenants
Shaw and Oracle, leading two compan-
les Of the 9th Infantry and a detach-
ment of cavalry, surrounded the tenth
fort, where the Sultan sought refuge,
and it surrendered. The forts have
/ been dismantled.
Captain Pershing moved north to
complete the exploration of the east
shore of the lake. No further resist
ance is expected.

was welcomed there as warmly as any
where on his route, and this was GER
tain from the outset.
In the first place, the people of the
Territories could not take objection to
their Statehood very much to heart
They are used to 1t. They have had a
long experience on that line. They
know themselves that the Territories
are not fit for statehood And if they
recoiied from every public man who
thinks that way they could welcome
hardly anybody They would be quite
as lonesome as the disciples of the
church in Utah who should refuse to
extend the glad hand to any opponent
OF Mormonism.
In the second place. while the Presi-
dent was not ready to see New Mexico
ana Arizona come into the sisterhood
OF States as separate sisters. and not
over anxious ever if they should be
rolled into one sister he is too good
friend OF the Territories in other re-
spects to be received otherwise than
with flying flags and booming cannon
and vociferous throats. They want ir-
figation above everything else, even
more than Statehood and he has done
more for irrigation than any other man
In the country His urgency as Presi-
dent has given it it's first great i'm

deal OF hesitation and opposition In the

THRowING orr THE MASK

The Union Republicans announce in
their call for primaries that they have
thrown off the mask The proclama-
tion was unnecessary. since the dis
guise has worn pretty thin. II reminds
one OF an ancient and disreputable
hag who in paint and powder and a
ghastly smile assumes TO play the part
Of a gay and giddy school girl. The
galleries are not deceived.
How often we have heard the plain
tive cry: "Let us get together and be
brothers. We are all Republicans. and
we should use all our energy in fight
ing the Democrats" It would strike a
responsive chord We're the tune not as
old as Annie Rooney" and We're there
a sincere motive behind it.
But Addicks has nothing personal to
gain by harmony at the present time;
or II he has. he lacks the sagacity to
see it; so he decides to fan back on
his old policy OF electing Democrats.
and counts on the support OF sub
servient following. The remarkable
thing about It is that presumably this
municipal election is not a matter that
concerns Addicks. He IS not resi-
dNpt Of the city; he is not even the
head Of the Union Republican party.
By virtue ofhis office as United States
Senator and Of his other office Of
State chairman. J. Frank Alice is the
head OF that organization.
And what is Senator Allees attitude? 2?
Immediately after his election he pro-
claimed that he should use all his in
7luence for party harmony Unless we
are misinformed. he declared that
there would be common primaries at
our approaching municipal election.
Now If anyone outside OF this
city has a right to dictate
the policy OF the Union Republican
party in this municipal campaign it is
j. Frank Alice. Has he changed his
mind? Has he abdicated? AS he re-
mains silent we can only draw our
conclusions.
Therefore we wish to know what in
spires the leutenants Of Addicks to ac-
cept his leadership in a matter outsid,
Of his jurisdiction. The chairman OF
the Addicks committee we happen tC
know had decided to accept common
primaries; he had gone so far as t,
draft the necessary literature. and ye
at q single word from Addicks h
signs his name to an insulting proc
lamation which seeks to deny TO any
one the right Of being Republican
who win not bow the knee to the de
spoiler- Oh. whether the mask is wor
or thrown aside. the same old indie

WOODEN STRUCTURES IN CITIES

1t would be unwise at this stage OF
the city's growth to relax the pro-
visions relating to the construction OF
wooden buildings in the populous dis
tricts Of Wilmington. The reasons are
we'll known and are conclusive. Every
year the heart Of the city is becom-
ing more congested, buildings are
growing taller. and when fires originate
the danger to life and property is
greater
a wooden building set in the midst
Of other structures acts as a tinder box
or as hndling. 1t not only offers a
good place to originate fires. but when
one is started it acts as so much fuel
There is nothing so discouraging to a
connagration as a series Of brick walls
This has been demonstrated in many
instances. Within the last ten or hf-
teen years many Of the smaller town.
down the Peninsula have been wiped
out owing to the prevalence of wooder
buildings, and for their own protec.
tion they have been obliged to prohibi
the erection Of wooden structure
within certain limits.
A matter OF equal Importance is tn
question OF roofing. A wooden roof s
always an element OF danger and thi
IS particularly true in a city. Only
spark is needed to start blaze. an
when a fire is started. wooden roofs +
the vicinity are the agents to cause it
spread. II ordinary motives Of pre-
caution are not sufficient to inhuenc
as, the insurance rates should teach L
lesson Not only wooden building
and those with wooden roofs are rs
quired 70 pay a high rate. but all oth'
Nulldings in the immediate neighbel
hood. The laws relating TO the maj
ter cannot be relaxed with safety.
