tangle met the farmers eyes. The fod-
der was whipped to pieces, and the
stalks beaten fiat into the mud and
sand. OF course with much extra
labor all the corn can be saved. but the
fodder is ruined. .
In the lower par, Of the state where
the late planting Of corn has become
common, this crop has been seriously
injured. Very late corn after being
whipped to pieces cannot mature and
the fodder Of course is worthless The
season which has not been especially
profitable to the farmers has wound
up with a grand finale at their ex-
pense.
There was considerable damage to
shipping although the loss Of life
seems to be confined to nine persons,
eight on the tug in the Delaware and
one at Lewes. The wind did little
serious damage in this city Trees
were uprooted. and shingles We're
ripped from roofs; awnings were torn
into shreds and in several instances
windows were smashed, but nothing
more serious. Yet the aggregate dam
ages will be many thousands Of dol

Divorced Women in sIa cItIss.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The census reports show that Louisville
has 1904 divorced persons, Of whom As
are men and 6s5 are women. Where these
persons obtained divorces does not APP
pear. But Il Is worthy of remark that OF
twenty-six cities ali but two report more
women than men, the ratio ranging from
an excess Of so to 100 per cent. The neces-
sary inference from this Is that many OF
the divorces were obtained elsewhere, and
that more women than men have gone
TO the large cities. How this IS TO be ex-
planned Is an interesting question:, but It
is probable that being thrown on their
own>resources, more divorced women are
driven to the cities to seek remunerative
employment.

Behold the ocean on the beach
Kneei lowly down as II in prayer.

While far &C sea do toss and reach
Some things so like white pleadins

Where man must own his littleness
And know the mightiness OF God.

WATER RIGHTS
TO COST $4,000
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.)
pay for SO,OOO.OOO gallons of water is
capitalized on a basis Of six per cent.
Mr.. Leisen favors issuing bonds for the
amount needed, as it would be cheaper
to pay four per cent. interest for bor-
rowed money than six per cent. to the
concerns interested in the water
rights OF the Brandywine.
Great Saving in Coal.
The site for the plant at Rockland is
about twelve feet above the Cool Spring
reservoir. not high enough by thirty
FIVE or forty feet to insure transporting
water from the filter beds to the reser-
voir in this city wholly by gravity. II
viii have to be lifted by pumps this
distance. Still the city will save con-
siderable in coal. as at present it is
necessary to lift the water 14O feet.
There is a wide difference between the
two figures and means the saving Of
thousands of dollars.
Will Dig Two Tunnels.
Owing to the hilly condition Of the
country surrounding Wilmington it will
be necessary to construct two tunnels
in which to lay pipes leading from the
Rockland plant to the city. One Of the
tunnels viii be dug through the hill
at Rising sun where the bend in the
road is at its widest. 1t will be 2100
feet long and 100 feet below the surface.
The second tunnel win be known as
the Shallcross tunnel and will run
from Rockford Park to Union street.
1t win be only forty feet below the sur
face.
Will Lose Considerable Power.
While the sum asked by the three
Wilmington firms for their interest in
the Brandywine water rights seems to
be large. 1t has been figured out that
the concerns in question will have to
expend the money they receive for
other power instead of that produced
by water. It may be possible that the
4 industries in question will have TO in
stall additional machinery to produce
the power they will lose by giving up
their water rights i'm the Brandywne.
The Bancrofts now use every gallon OF
water they can get from the stream
for power. The same can be said of
the other concerns.
The water to be used at the new i'll
/ ter plant will be taken from the Rock
/ land dam, which Is owned by the Jes-
sup and Moore people. Between this
city and that dam are the eight dams
owned by the DuPonts and the Ban
crofts. showing that the water to be
used by the city win be taken from
the stream before it reaches the plants
of these concerns. The William Lea &
Sons Company viii not be harmed by
the city taking water from the stream
and no rights viii be purchased from
them.
I Engineer Leisen is still busy answer
( ing inquiries from contractors out of
the city who intend to bid on the work
Of constructing the water plant Every
night he is seen walking to the postof-
flee with arms full of mail matter. He
expects bids from at least thirty con-
tractors. They viii be opened at 1.3O
O'Clock on September 26.

will be the attraction at the Grand
Opera House with magnificent COM
pany of New York players to portray
its interesting character types.
This is the famous comedy that cap
tured New York last season and made
a triumphant run in the face of almost
insurmountable obstacles. But not
withstanding that it was forced to
move from theatre to theatre, on ac-
count Of the enforcement of fire ordi-
nances on defective theatre construc-
ton, and that the season was one of
the worst for theatrical ventures in
many years It kept increasing its ad-
mirers until a craze for candida"
swept the city.
Candida" is one of the surprises OF
the theatrical world and few who es-
TEEN what is best in the theatre will
miss it. It is happy combination for
the student, author professional and
literary man, as well as for the ordin-
ary searcher for entertainment. The
characters include a manly clergyman.
an anaemic young poet. a beautiful.
noble wife. a hoggish man Of business.
a weak-kneed curate and sharp
tongued typewriter. Humorous Incl
dent and brilliant wit add zest to the
enjoyment Of the performance.
