MIXED-UP NUMBERS
BOTHER STRANGERS
South Wilmington Houses
Numbered Without Re
gard to Location

The numbering Of the houses in
South Wilmington is a matter of much
comment among persons whose duty
calls the across the Christiana.
There is no fixed rule about the num-
bers, and one is likely to find two
houses standing side by side with the
same number or one several hundred
higher
A deliveryman of one of the big
stores who goes over there almost every
day said:
The people seem to number their
houses to suit themselves. and any
number that appeals to them they use
There is no regard for the classifica-
ton, and the numbers are as apt to run
backward as forward. In one block
will be found 800. and houses in the
block bear anything from 700 to 1900.
OF course the people who go over often
soon learn them, but strangers have no
end Of trouble. When l first began go
ing over there il took me about four
times as long as it should to do my
work"
The deilveryman's version of the
situation is about right. the numbers
are most misleading and a person un-
familiar with that section would have
to traverse much unnecessary ground
before finding the place he was look
ing for.

ASKING ABOUT CHARTER
Those Interested in New System Of
Government Are Aaitated.

What has become of the new charter
movement is a question that Is being
asked. They know that the Board OF
Trade committee is at work trying 20
secure the passage OF the charter in
which they are interested, but they
have not heard much lately about the
proposed amendments of city Council
or what that body is doing TO secure
the passage of the bill.
There IS a growing feeling among
those who have to pay taxes that
something ought to be done toward
getting a more compact form of city
government so that II would not be
necessary TO so TO the Legislature from
time to time for the purpose of bor-
rowing money to pave streets or to do
other work which ought TO be done out
Of the money raised by taxation for
the purpose of running the city. There
Is also feeling that the city is going
to boom I'm a short time and that there
ought TO be something done to enable
Wilmington and its officials TO keep
up with the procession when it is ready
TO move. II cannot be done Il Is claim

BOARDING HOUSES AND e q
DWELLINGS SCARCE
Said to be Incident Upon the
Removal of Various Indus
tries Here

The demand for dwelling and board
ing houses in the city is unprecedented
Rents and rates have gone up and
while house owners and boarding
house keepers are complacent, would
be renters and boarders are regarding
the situation with very mixed senti-
ments
This state of affairs is due to the
influx of people incident to the re-

here The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has brought its offices from
Philadelphia TO Wilmington. the Re

Jersey, and the erection of the elevated
tracks of the railroad company has
brought a regular army Of wOrkmeu
here. It is said that 800 mere young
men viii arrive here, bag and baggage
in the spring.
IL is little wonder that boarding
houses and hotels are congested, and
that rates are flying upward like a thor
mometer on a sultry July day. Small
houses are fairly gobblod up. and larger
ones are not long ornamented with the
'sTo Let" or "FOr Rent sign,

Another bill of his provides for

bill will do away with the long stand

and other firms have to keep against
the state for coal and other supplies.
These contractors. who supply the
State House with fuel, etc, have to

Against Docking Tails.
The Senate passed the Sparks bill
prohibiting the mutilation of horses by
docking their tails.
Four notices of ballot reform bills
were given in the Senate yesterday af-
ternoon by Senator Sparks. Regular Re

and Senators Groves and T. c. Moore,
Union Republicans. This makes the
total number OF the bills which provide
for the secrecy ana purity Of the general
elections six. The other notices were
given by Representatives Cook and
Thompson, both Democrats.
T. c. Moore gave notice of an act
which requires all railroad companies
doing business in this State to furnish
all State officials with free passes over
their lines.
Senator Groves gave notice of an act
which authorizes the Philadelphia and
Baltimore railroad to place safety
gates at certain crossings in Christians
hundred.
The Secretary Of State is authorized
by bill which Mr.. Sparks will intro
duce to have published the general

bills and amendments which have beer
