GOSSIP ABOUT SOME PEOPLE

Brandywine Springs Park under the
direction n. DuShane Cloward Is en-
joying one OF the best seasons in It's
history. Through Mr. Cloward's efforts
many Of the largest Sunday schools
OF Philadelphia have visited the park
this summer. There are several unique
entertainments booked for later in the
season.
BY conscientious work with the pupils
OF the institution. Prof. II. $. Goldey
has caused it 20 spread out year by
year until now the big building Is bare
ly large enough to accommodate It,
Gaduates from this school are now IN
almost every state IN the Union. That
the institution has reached its present
state can be traced back to the moth
ods employed by the president
throughout the years OF It's existence.
That William McCadden. of Chester
county Pa, is an excellent host a
number of Wilmingtonians would be
glad to testify Mr.. McCadden often
comes to the Wilmington markets and
in that way has made many friends.
Hardly a Sunday passes but that a
number OF Wilmingtonlans are visitors
at his Chester county farm.
one OF the most conspicuous workers
for the success OF the fair recently held
on the Delaware College campus for
the benefit OF the Newark public libra-
ny was Delaware Clark, former Re-
coIder OF Deeds Of this county Mr..
Clark Is a farmer in the vicinity Of
Newark and takes an active interest In
every enterprise for the benefit Of that
town.

physicians An the State. DR.. Chandler

than Mayor Charles ID. Bird. Mayor

does not believe IN neglecting his Off

contrary to the course taken by many

A DISCONTINUED VOTER.

VATE take pleasure in printing IN
wv another column second let
ter from Republican" of Lau-
rel It shows the thought IN the mind
OF one voter and It may, and doubt
less does. represent considerable sem
timent among those who have been
classed as Union Republicans.
Il breathes discontent and we do not
wonder, and it is from this discomfort
that we may expect healthier mani
hood to spring. our correspondent is
opposed to making up a ticket by a
dicker between committees, giving the
voter no chance to participate. But
there appears to be no remedy. unless
one OF the parties shall abandon its or
eanlzatlon. In the nature of things
the Regular Republicans cannot nomi-
nate ticket that would suit them
selves and the Union Republicans at
the same time. The best that they
can do is to name ticket that viii ap-
peal to all Republicans by virtue Of
the character and standing Of It's can
didates Then It VIII be for the Union
Republicans to say whether they will
accept all or part OF it.
This dissatisfaction is healthful and
fun Of promise. But the cause Of the
unfortunate condition which makes
necessary these dlcxers to get COM
mon ticket. must not be overlooked.
The selhshness. arrogance and asinl-
nifty Of one man must not be left out
Of the estimate. And that man with
out any question has been able to as
sumo his position Of master because Of
his cash.
To wipe off the slate and begin anew
calls for the elimination OF this dis
turblng factor Were this step taken.
then every man might have a voice
In convention composed OF all Repub-
llcans, ara slate-makng might be
made lost art We do not wonder
that our correspondent Is dissatisfied,
that thousands are dissatisfied, but
they should be wise enough and
honest enough to estimate the cause.
and to take the proper means Of elimi-
mating the disturbing factor.

Why the EnaIneer Orled.

Exchange.
"Yes. indeed. we have some queer little
incidents happen to us" said the fat en-
gineer. Queer things happened to me
about year ago. You'd think it queer
for a rough man like me to cry for ten
minutes and nobody hurt, either wouldn't
you? Well. I did and I can almost cry
every time 1 think of it.
IL was running along one afternoon pret-
ty lively. when 1 approached little VIII
lage where the track cuts through the

making good speed. when suddenly about
twenty rods ahead of me little girl not
more than years old toddied onto the

There was ne way TO save her. 1t was inn
possible to stop. or even slack much, at
that distance. as the train was heavy and
the grade descending. In ten seconds q
would have been all over and after re-
versing and applying the brake / shut
my eyes I didn't want to see any more.
"As we slowed down my fireman stuck
his head out Of the cab window 70 see
what I'd stopped for, when he laughed
and shouted at me; Jim, look hereV
looked, and there was a big black New
foundiand dog holding the little girl in
his mouth. lelsurely walking toward the
house where she evidently belonged. She
was kicking and crying, 30 that knew

STORIES OF THE DAY
"RasebaIIo on the Street.

Baseball playing on the street is a
dangerous practice" said a prominent
citizen the other day. Several days
ago I saw a woman hit on the head
with a small rubber ball, which II IL
has been a regulation size baseball
might have caused serious injury. Not
only is their danger Of being struck by
a flying ball, but windows appear to be
the special prey of the small boy and
many are broken each summer as a re-
suit of his recklessness. The police have
done good work to break the practice
up this year, but there are still a
number Of youngsters who appear to
have no fear of the law and continue
to play whenever they please.

WILL PROBABLY OPEN SEPTENBER5
Dookstsder's esrrlok Theatre to open
For Its Second Season.

w. L. Dockstader's Garrick theatre
will probably open forit second season
on Monday. September 5th, and unless
present plans go wrong the many local
patrons of vaudeville will be able to
enjoy their favorite amusement on and
after that cate.
Manager Dockstader already has the
week commencing September 18th bill
ed with a particularly strong array OF
talent He has some good attractions
for the week commencing the 9TH and
hopes to be able to select enough more
TO make that his opening week. The
success accorded the new Garrick last
season. although il was formally OPEN
ed much later than was originally in
tended. leaves no room for doubt as to
the popularity of this pretty little
playhouse. Manager Dockstader knows
good vaudeville and he is determined
that his patrons must have the best
there is going-regardless of the cost.
Last season the biggest and most ex-
pensive attractions in vaudeville ap-
peared at the Garrick and the same
policy will be pursued this season. Man

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cArARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
Day and Be Cured.

If a few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with a healing baIsam.
the idea would have been ridiculed and
il remained for that eminent investi-
gator r. r. Booth, TO discover in
Hyomei this method Of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mirac-
ulous cures OF catarrh, and is today
recognized by leading members OF the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon
to do just what il claims. The COM
plete OUTFIT OF Hyomei costs but 81 90
and consists Of an inhaler. a medicine
dropper and a bottle OF Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times a day and
IL will cure the worst case OF catarrh.
II sOOthes and heals the musous mem-
brane OF the air passages, prevents ir-
rltation. and effects a complete ana
lasting cure.
In Wilmington there are scores of
well-known people who have been
cured Of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does
not cure you Z. James Belt viii return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to his faith in the remedy.
