Wilmington Given Preference.

The booklet starts off as follows:
Wilmington can easily secure the iarg-
est Industry which ever located In Della
ware If Il wants to. No bonus was asked
and not even a free site. Il can be set-
tied favorab.y at once and must be final y
one way or the othSr soon. Wilmington
was given the preference without any
special favor being asked in return.
The pamphlet then tells how the Ger
mans brought an exhibit OF Otto gas and
gasoline engines to the Centennial Exposi-
ton n 1876. How they were pleased with
America and as there was a demand FOR
their engines located a plant 10 Phlladcl
phia This plant has been gradually in
creased until now there is no more room
at It's location IN Philadelphia and a new
/ field has TO be found where a much large
pant and new departments to the bust
ness can be erected. The book continuing
says:
when these are all IN operation 81 @
expected that the industry VIII give en-
ployment to at least 20O0 to 5000 skille,
workmen with a payroll of about $500
per day. Si5OOO0 per month or Si5OOoO G,

ployed
"They had not intended TO erect thei
own Illuminating gas and electric plants
but their recent unsatisfactory negotia
tions for gas supplies have forced then
to the decision that it is their only SAT-
course if they locate in Wilmington. "a
they prefer to do, because they have al
ready invested 10000 In cash in a site 81
this city. They cannot afford 10 build 70
their own use only and therefore mus

tricity to other consumers II they cree
their industry IN this city.
They will al once push their plans 70
erecting their great engine works on an
South Wilmington site Immediately afte
the city acts favorably on their request
for permission to also erect their gas an
electric plant SO as TO insure them IN
necessary supply Of good Illuminating ga
for testing an OF their engines. Withou
this supply of gas they cannot build o
the site. The exigencies Of their CROWN
business makes it impossible ,for ther
to leave this ofer open indefinitely or 10

hyperion Theater.


AT the Hyperion this evening Charles
Frohman win present Augustus Thorn
as best and FUNNIEST comedy, "The
Other Girl" During its long and sue
cessful run in New York last season
it was necessary to remove this pro-
duction from the Criterion theater,
where it was first produced, to the En-
pire and Lyceum theaters, where it
played to crowded houses until the
end Of the season.
1.-THE Other Girl, is one of the undis-
puted successes of last season. Its fun
was heartily appreciated by the crowd
ed houses that witnessed it, and the
admirable acting Of Lionel Barrymore
in the role Of a champion light weight
pugilist. The humor of the play has a
thoroughly New York flavor, and is
chuck full Of fun. There is not dull
or slow movement in any Of the acts.
The cast includes Lionel Barrymore,
Richard Bennett, Frank Burbeck,
Ralph Delmore, Mabel Roebuck,
Grace Henderson, Doris Keane, Wallace
Eddinger, Francis Byne, Lou Middle-
ton, Ida Greeley Smith. Joseph Whiting,
Maggie Fielding and Frederick Ray

MEXICAN DOLLAR DISAPPEAR

The decline and fall in the circulation
Of what was once an almost universal
coin--the Mexican silver dollar-is de-
scribed in a recent issue Of the Harvard
Quarterly Journal OF Economic by Pro-
fessor A. Platt Andrew. The causes OF
the worldwide circulation Of this coin
lie in the fact that for many genera
tions Mexico was, the greatest silver
producer of the world. From the dis
covery of this continent down to 1850,
eighty per cent. Of the worlds supply Of
the white metal came from the mines Of
Mexico and Spanish America This
coin had also the good fortune to es-
cape debasement almost entirely. Be
tween 1897 and our own days its metal
Ito content declined less than six per
cent an almost unique fact in moneta-
ry history. The approaching extinction
OF this dollar as medium Of interna-
tional use has been, due to the enlarged
output Of silver, ana its decentralization
in the gold-using world. In Japan the
Mexican dollar has been driven out. In
the Philippines the new American sill
yer peso (redeemahle In gold, and there
fore non-exportabie) is rapidly sup
planting the Mexican dollar The situ-
alton is very similar in Puerto Rico.

OLD FARMS NOT FOR SALE.

Burial Sites for Children Who Went

Away.
.AlI the farms In New England are
not in the market said man whose
business tends to speculation in farm
property. Some are being held by the
old people AZ q matter Of sentiment.
In one Of my recent trips down In
Maine stopped at a farmhouse that
was erected more than sixty years ago.
The owner did not know It, but had
gone all over his land and had taken
a fancy to It. He and his housekeeper
were the sole occupants of the house at
the time Of my visit.
I'VE were on the veranda one eve
ming, when preached the subject of
buying his farm. He said 1t was not
for sale at any price. suggested as
not need the place much longer, and
that with the money proposed to pay
him he could pass the remainder of his
days In peace and independence.
II know that he had a boy in New
York who was doing well, and who
would never return to the old farm. I
lmentioned this as an inducement to
make the trade. He shook his head the
more determinedly.
- That's the reason, he said, that
| l don't want to sell. II 1t was not for
that boy / might be tempted to let the
old place go. But It's this way:

OIL TREE OF CHINA.

Five years ago the attention Of
American importers was called to the
value as an astringent and drier in var
nish, for the finer kinds of furniture, of
the product of the Chinese wood Oil
tree. +g g.. "
Since then two American firms have
established branches at Hankow. China
for the expectation of the oil, and one
of them has shipped nearly 100000 gall
Ions since last fall. Because of the
fact that no barrels are manufactured
in the province where the oil tree
grows, Hankow firm has imported
from New York, shocks for 5000 barrels
and machinery for setting them up.
About a thousand seeds Of the oil tree
have been planted in California and are

KISSING THE R1ARNEY STONE.

h1Ool4NIs blfk1IAANIHL. DLOGN
Last year, while in the south of Ire-
land, I paid visit to Blarney Castle
and while there had the queer expert
ence Of kissing the Blarney Stone, fa-
NOUS in song and story.
One OF our party having gone
through the ordeal before volunteered
to kiss the stone first and show US how
it is done. When 1t is understood that
you are attempting to kiss a stone set
In the outside wall, and you on the i'm
side, one can guess that 1t Is no easy
ia SIX. 1t Is best to take off your coat
and watch and chain and empty your
pockets. There is an opening, as it
were, in the floor. You sit on the edge
Of this, catch hold of two bars in the
wall and lower yourself backward down
the opening till you are able to stretch
out and reach the stone. As you do
this the rest Of the party hang on to
your legs.
The precaution of taking off. the
watch and chain and removing money
from your pockets is very wise one,
as you have to hang head downward to
get at the stone.-Gael. fI. {
