LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor OF The Evening Journal
The city by deed in fee holds title TO
Fourth street from the Brandywine, at
Seventh street bridge, TO low water In the
Delaware. BY late statute its title (as
shore owneD is extended 100 feet wide to
the bulkhead line in the river. Owning
this portion Of the street under water, the
city has legal right to M, grade and re-
deem IT, the same as IL has 20 raise any
other street TO grade. When a street is
projected into navigable water and raised
TO grade, that part over the water be-
comes both street and wharf.
There being no restriction in its chart
er the city can build a street-a wharf
on any land that It may hold for street
purposes The public have the same right
to make a highway TO reach shipping as
they have TO reach a railroad station, a
ferry or mercantile houses. A wharf at
the end Of a street is but a part Of the
street itself
The right Of the city to extend Fourth
stree into the river being complete, the
only questions now are: Has the city the
funds and is the wharf desirable? The
city has the money or the means Of get
ting It If this work is OF sufficient urg-
ency.
1t has been pressing demand for years
that a river wharf be built whenever
practicable. Nothing but fogyism would
now say that it was unnecessary. The
government has found it important to ex-
pend probably n million dollars in the
river fronting the central part OF the
city. This Will benefit our people amaz.
ingly, and these BENEFITS can be greatly
enhanced II we now throw in our mite
and catch on 10 these advantages. The
government IS building the bullShead and

A foreman in a great locomotive

In time il got to be so that there was
not a night, for over a year, but that

both. 1 went TO the doctors almost ev-

thing for me. They said It was the to-
bacco habit that did the mischief.

helm me any. / got so nervous that the
men under me did not like to work Tor

ought to be used. I was nervous irrit-
able ana would find fault all the time.
sTwo months ago I took dinner with
some friends who gave me what / sup
nosed was a. cup OF coffee. They ex-
nla3ned that II was Postum Coffee and
nv friends wife said that she had used
II about six months and that during
that time had no headache such as she
was formerly subject to, and that she
felt so we'll all the time. That evening
took a package Of Postum home with
me and began using II.

Republican Glasses" inthe Sunday Star
as the piece de resistance" A week
since this writer caused much mirth
by interpreting a remark OF ours re-
garding Representative Burton, chair
man OF the River and Harbor Commit
tee" into a fling at Hiram r. Burton,
who viii not become a Congressman
for several months yet. The owl-like
gravity with which he administered
the rebuke, caused our Office boy a fit
Of merriment. Well this stuff is so

more OF it. Here is a little gem;
The Outlook which speaks OF the
lavish sacrifice OF life" I'm Manchuria,
also deals with Kennans lavish de-
scription Of his own personal import
ance I'm Manchuria. How Kennan can
be at Port Arthur and in Manchuria
at the same time is left to the omnis-
clent outlook to answer.
That's a very neat point. and shows
what blundering publication the
outlook is. How can man be in
Wilmington and in Delaware at the
same timo? But that doesn't answer
the question at all Port Arthur has
always been in Manchura, but the
Japs have probably cut it of and towed
Il out TO sea beyond the three-mile
limit; so George Kennan can't be IN
Port Arthur and Manchurla at the
same time. Oh. we've guessed itl
Here is some more most interesting
matter;
The President Is alive to all that is
lgoing on. He never mentioned tarln
reform because there is no need FOR
IT, either In business or in morals;
but he caught on to the damnable pro-
penslty for buying votes. It is not an
exclusive Delaware practice as the
Democratic editors, supported by the
lslly Evening Journal would have this
INNNiulNiltg btlltNts AA Ao AVlNilui
practice, almost universal In the
United States. II has became the
greatest evil since slavery was abol-
ished.
The national convention however
did not set its face rlgidly against
reasonable tariff adjustment; nor did
the President In his letter Of accept
ancc. But let us take up tho bribery
proposition. Bribery being "a COM
lmon practice, almost universal in the
United States" these local papers
have been engaged in the damnable
business Of denouncing the practice
here. OF course IL the condition is SO
bad they should shut up. or confne
themselves TO the practice as II exists
in Arizona or Colorado. Funny isn't
liz?
We close with a reference TO "the
national policy maintained by the Re
publicans since 1851. under the head
Of Blaine Mckinley and Roosevelt

IS HOURS IN RIGGING
Narrowing Experience Of Crew Of
Seven on Sinking Schooner.
ONE OF THEM FROZEN TO DEATH

The Montana Wrecked Near Cape Hat
tsras and Crew clung to Rigging,
With Their Clothing Coated With
Iee-owned at somer's Point, N. J.
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1.-THE three
Booye, from Baltimore to Charleston,
S. c., with a cargo of salt (or prob
ably coa), stranded Saturday night
at Pea Island, N. c., life saving sta
ton. so miles north Of Cape Hat
teras, during a heavy northerly gale.
Within 20 minutes after the vessel
stranded she was full oe water and
awash, so that the crew, consisting
of Captain Booye and six men, We're
forced to take to the rigging, where
they remained until Sunday afternoon,
when six Of the seven men were res
cued by crews of Pea Island, New Inlet
and Bodies Island life saving stations.
One man, Henry Edwards, was frozen
to death, and was lashed in the rigging
in such a manner that he could not be
reached, and his body is still aboard
the ship, hanging in the rigging, head
downward. One other member of the
crew was almost frozen to death when
he was rescued by the members of the
life saving crews, but probably will re-
cover although his condition is very
serious.
Great difficulty was experienced in
landing the crew, owing to the fact
that the vessel had sunk and a heavy
sea was running at the time. The
freezing weather hampCred the work
Of rescue and the seamen were so
overcome by exposure and exhaustion
that only two of those in the rigging
were able to assist in hauling the whip
line aboard the vessel.
Again and again the line was shot
out, and one by one the men were
taken off the ship in the breeches
buoy, after a most narrowing expert
ence of more than 13 hours spent in
the rigging of the sinking vessel in a
temperature much below freezing.
Their clothing was coated with thick
layers of ice. An attempt will be made
/ later to bring the body of Henry Ed
wards, the sailor who was frozen to
death, ashore.
The vessel will be total loss. 1t is
understood that the Montana is owned
in Somer's Point, N. ].
