DANVILLE Wins
FROM LEWISBURG

One OF the best played basket ball
games Of the season took place in the
Armory Friday night when the High
School team OF this city went up
against Buoknell Academy. The op-
posing teams in point OF skill were
pretty evenly matched as is indicated
by the score, ,sS to 81, in favor of Dan
Vile. Two twenty minute halves were
played. At first things seemed to go
Lewisburg's way and they had fine
credit before Danville scored. Toward
the close Of the first half our boys took
q brace aud from then on it was nip
and tuck. The line up:
DANvILLE. LEWISBURG.

The game between the Freshmen of

within the next ten years. There will be
more factories, more mills, more manu-
featuring enterprises, more miles of troll
ley roads, more building, more traffic,
and--more danger. The Wilmington hos
pitals viii have more patients, and need
larger equipment. If they are allowed to
stand still, they will cease to keep pace
with the needs of the city, and tho city
win lose thereby. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that hospital expenses win ever
be smaller, unless Wilmington decays
and goes backward. They viii be larger
instead, and they ought to be so.
A manufacturing town has special
need for large and complete hospitals,
Not only through accidents, but in the
lowering of vitality often caused by fac
tory life, illness comes in homes where
the perfection Of antiseptic treatment
through which modern doctors work such
miracles cannot be attained. Such treat
ment is possible for the rich in their own
homesl but for those Of small means and
crowded homes, the hospital alone makes
perfect treatment attainable. For this
reason, a city of workers, such as VIII
mington is, needs the constant keeping
up of its hospitals to the very highest
scientific standard; and no matter how
costly this standard may be, it will pay
by saving valuable lives. whose working
powers are thus given back to the com,
munity.
If the residents Of Wilmington who be-
lieve and hope in the future progress Of
their city would but believe and hope il
the necessary growth Of her hospitals
and back that belief and hope by what
ever aid is in their power, they would
do a wise thing

THE cITY ANp THE HospIrAL.

Civilization is supposed to preserve
human life and limb. In some ways, it
does. In other ways, it adds to human
dangers. In state of barbarism, all a
man has 10 be afraid Of is an armed enc
my He does not have to cross a trolley
track, nor dodge automobiles, nor couple
railway cars, nor manage engines and
machines, nor have typhoid germs con.
veyed into his house by the city water
pipes, nor find live wires across his path.
All these dangers are part of the advance
of civilization. They belong 70 the CON-
ple1ity Of our present progress. And, az
we progress, new dangers viii probably
come around the corner. We cannot ex,
pect it to be otherwise.
The growth of city therefore neces
sarily implies the growth Of its hospitals

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

BE- seen on Delaware avenue, west of
jackson street. A very practical way TO
avoid mistakes Of this sort that have
been made in the past, and TO insure
having our city more beautiful in the
future is to have a city architect, as in
other large cities, in the employ of the
Street and Sewer Department.
The resolution adopted by the Street
and Sewer Department, widening Tenth

the building lines, has become law at a
most opportune time. II is believed that

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Abate the Nuisance.

To the Editor of the Woman's Edition
Of the Evening Journal; As it seems
likely that the publicity attained
through the columns of the Woman's
Edition may have some influence with
the authorities Of the Wilmington City
Railway Company, l venture TO address
you concerning the nuisance caused by
the fiat wheels of many of the cars now
in service on this road | do not know
whether residents Of Eighth street suffer
through this cause more than the resi-
dents of other parts of our city, but
Eighth street residents will agree, /
think, that the jolting of the cars having
these fiat wheels land apparently two
thirds of them are in this conditionl is
exceedingly disagreeable and that the
loss of sleep from the continual pounding
Of these imperfect wheels makes the con-
dition a crying nuisance.
Except that stock reports indicate
that this company is in good financial
condition, one would think that il was
on the verge Of insolvency. Perhaps a
better explanation may be found in a
less competent management since the re-
tirement of Mr.. Van Trump. In any
event, railroad men generally agree that
Il is exceedingly poor management to al
low the rolling stock Of a railway to de-,
teriorate in this way. Visitors to viii
mington, if they judge of the city by its
railway service, as they ride on one of
these cars are sure TO class the city with
town on the confines of civilization,
more properly located in Siberia than in
a progressive section of the United
States.
When the labors of editing the Wo-
mans Edition are over, II the women Of
the city wish to continue their efforts in
the field Of public affairs, here is a sub
iect worthy of their attention. One of
the many sufferers entreats you to use
influence with the mayor, Street and
Sewer Commission and the railway COM
pany itself.

THE PRAYER OF SELF.
By PrisciIla leonard.

One knelt within a world of care
And sin, and lifted up his prayer;
Il ask thee, Lord, for health, and power
To meet the duties of each hour;
For peace from care, for daily food,
For life prolonged and filled with good (;
| praise thee for thy gifts received,
For sins forgiven, for pains relieved,
For nearand dear ones spared and blessed
For prospered toll and promised rest.
Ihls prayer / make IN His great name
Who for my souls salvation came"
But as he prayed, lol at his side
stood the thorn crowned Christ, and
sighed;
20 blind disciple,-came 1 then
To bless the SO hshness of men?
Thou aslSest health, amidst the cry
Of human strain and agony;
Thou askest peace, while al around
Trouble bows thousands to the ground;
Thou askest life for thine and thee,
While Others diej thou thankest me
For gifts, for pardon, for success,
For thine own narrow happiness.
NAY; rather bow thy head and pray,
That while thy brother starves to-day
Thou mayst not eat thy bread at ease;
Pray that no health on wealth ng peace
May hull thy soul while the world lies
Suffering, and Claims thy sacrifice;
Praise not, while others weep, that thou
Hastuever groaned with anguished brow
Praise not thy sins have pardon found
While others sink, in darkness drowned F;
lanst thou give thanks, while others nigh
Outcast and lost, curse God and dieg
Not IN my name thy prayer was made
Not for my sake thy praises paid.
My gift is sacrihcei my blood
Was shed for human brotherhood,
And still thy brothers woe is thine
Thy heart beat knows no throb of mine
Come, leave thy selfish hopes, and see
Thy birthright of humanity
Shun sorrow not; be brave 10 bear
The worlds dark weight of sin and care;
Spend and be spent, yearn, suffer, give
And in thy brethren learn to live"
