who is responsible for this trial. for the
premature grave Of Estella Albin. that
unspeakable man-Alfred NJ. Powell.
What manner Of man is he, anyhow?
At an early age in her life he seduced
d little girl. Essie Albin. and branded
her as an adulteress, implanting in her
mind a bitter and Unsuitable hatred to
the woman who then stood in her way
and who for years had toiled for that

The lawyer declared that the most

is the one that almost justifes the

In pleading for a verdict OF either

SPOTS BRANDYGINE PARK POPULAR.
From Now Until Biting Frosts Come
Many Will Visit the Place.

Wilmington people at their very doors
have one Of the most beautiful parks
to be found in part of the country.
Strangers coming here exclaim in ad-
miration of the picturesque drive and
walks and Of its beauty I'm general.
A visit to the Brandywine now is
we'll worth the while The trees are
radiant in their first fresh, tender green
leaves. and throw into strong relief
the gray of the massive rocks which
abound and which lend such a rug
ged air to the hills The sunny slopes
are carpeted with a soft green grass
and violets and other spring blossoms
are shyly emerging from their winters
sleep. The waters Of the race and the
Brandywine itself reflect the blueness
OF the sky. and the trills OF the song
birds seem to say that spring has in
deed come.
The park has been exceptionally live
" this week by reason OF the Nav
parties which the school children and
their friends have been enjoying. The
youngsters have been keeping a sharp
lookout for the gray squirrels which
were liberated several weeks ago by
the generosity Of John NJ. Rogers. but
the little fellows are reticent and not
disposed to accept even the most friend
ly overtures. As a matter OF fact, they
are seldom to be seen except early in
the morning and late in the evening.
II is not likely that Brandywine Park
viii have any attractions this summer
beyond its own natural beauty. The
park commissioners would like to have
several attractions. including a band
of music, but has not the money for
that purpose. The baseball grounds in
Rockford and In the North Brandywine,
at Eighteenth street and the woods,
have proved a popular feature with the
boys and young men living in that vi
cinlty. There also is basketball
ground in Rockford Park and there has
been some talk Of laying out a tennis
court.
4 number Of new electric lights viii
be installed. especially near Market
and Washington street bridges.
