Camp Marvn. Coochs Bridge, Del,
July 19.-The thrift that characterlzes
the guard here seems to have had an
influence over the farmers I'm the vcin-
ity of the camp. There is scarcely an
idle minute within the guard lines and
surrounding them yesterday afternoon
the farmers were busy at work. on
one side several were narrowing corn.
Just beyond general headquarters
others were threshing. while In the
fields back of headquarters the crop OF
hay and grain was being gathered. The
work was watched with much interest
by the men.
\ Company drill and extended order
took up this morning. Delaware troops
have been drilled a great deal in the
formation. 1t is remarkable how read
lily they have grasped the idea and the
showing they are making is pleasant
surprise to the company commanders.
Lieutenant Cristy, of the regular
army, has given many hints to the OFF,
GERS They are little things that do not
appear IN the manuals. but have been
acquired by experience IN the regular
service. This is particularly true Of

improved under his suggestions.
Visitors are Few.
There have been but few visitors
since Sunday. Probably one dozen
would count al that were here all day
yesterday, with the exception Of dress
parade, when several rigs We're clus-
tered around the parade ground.
Tramps Are Annoying.
Since the location OF the camp here
there have been several suspicious
characters hanging about outside the
guard lines. They are tramps who
have accidentally stumbled upon the
camp and are lying in wait for any loot
that may be gotten. Two attempts
were made last night to get at the
company cook tents. but each was
frustrated by the guard. Additional
men were put on the long and darl
: posts.
All day yesterday the continued cracl
of rifles could be heard in camp as tn
E men were working on the range. whicl
b is located on the hillside about half
5 mile from the camp. This is the frs
D season the men have ever handled IN
o Krag-Jorgeson rifles and they are nc
i as familiar with them as the oil
d Springhelds. There Is one noticeabl
y feature. however. and that Is the ne'
r guns do not have near as much reco
as the former ones and as resu
there are no bruised shoulders anon
the men.
I Good Order Among Men.
AS usual there has been little dis
p order at the camp. The men ar
e placed on their honor when outside tn
lines and the privilege has not bee
e abused to any extent. There was

Need Of More Pools.
The lack OF bathhousos in wilmington
o. plain to be seen from the conditions
as they now exist For several months
past a number of representative citizens
have been making a night to have a pool
located az Dciamore Park IN the SOUTH
western section of the city. nut little has
been done toward bringing about the
realization OF the project. A bathhouse in
this locality Is much needed as there are
no streams IN which a bath can be taken
as in other sections Of the city aud for
this reason some immediate action should
I be taken
Al one time there was a bathhouse at
Third street bridge but when the pool in
Brandywlne Park was comp eted this was
done away with. While the youngsters Of
that section Of the city have the Chris
tiana TO battle IN it is a dangerous prac-
ticc. especially for those una5 to swim.
Many think a bathhouse should again be
placed at this point which with the one
now in use, and the one proposed for Del
amoro Park, would make three number
not too many but needed TO insure a
comfortable bath and safety for the boys.

JURY Decided HEBREW
TRUSTEES OWN TRACT.
Suit Against Mary Walsh Decided I'm
Justice BeVans' Court.

A verdict in favor of the plaintiff in
the case of the trustees of the old He
brew Cemetery against Mary Walsh
was rendered by a jury in Justice
Bevans' court yesterday.
The case came up for trial ten days
ago. and the defendant appealed for a
jury trial. The plaintiffs charged that
the defendant had taken possession
of a small tract of land adjoining the
cemetery property which they claim
is a part of the cemetery property.
The title of the property has been in
dispute some time. The first suit was
filed by Miss Walsh against the trus-
tees of the cemetery to decide the title
to the property. Upon the advice OF
counsel she took possession of the
property while the suit was pending
and had the fence removed so as to
include the disputed property as a part
Of an adjoining tract of land which
she owned.
When the trustees discovered that
the fence was being removed they en-
tered suit against her for taking pos
session of the property. The original
suit filed by Miss Walsh was then
withdrawn, and the trustees were left
in the position of proving to the court
the title of the property
The case has been friendly suit,
and there is no feeling existing be-
tween the defendant and the trustees
Of the Hebrew Cemetery. The case
was given to the jury at 2:20. and
the verdict in favor of the plaintiff
was returned at 4 o'clock. Beckett,
Norman & Beckett represented the
defendant, and Mr.. S. L. Lazaron ap-
peared for the trustees.

envy some time ago in the interests of

time that he would do all he could to

the first evidence of his aid.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 3, Chapter 1.

Don't play blind mans bluff during
of life should be played with your
eyes open. Take a look ahead and
see what is the best you can do with
your energy. The hard work in the
shop, at the desk, or behind the coun-
ter, is energy; the use OF this force is
a constant drain upon your brains,
blood and bones. You turn your en-
ergy into money by work; therefore,
if you waste your money you are
wasting your life. Money, as we know
it, is the value of all things, put into
concrete shape, so that it may be
available for all things. A dollar
means nothing in itself; 1t is worth
nothing until you buy something. The
more you get out of your dollar the
more you get out Of your brains, blood
and bones. Many men own an auto
mobile, a pianola, a monograph, a
horse and buggy, a plano and other
transient things, but don't own lot!
In fact, many men never own any
thing that will sell for 10 cents on the
a
course the luxuries mentioned are good
to have in the house, but 1t seems to
a man who surveys the future as far
as he can see 1t in his mind that it is
playing blind mans bluff" with life to
buy luxuries on the installment plan
before he owns a home. He can buy a
lot with photograph and build home
with an automobile or a piano! OF
course the home would be small, but
he could add to it. A well located lot
don't require gasoline, or a machinist,
or a tuner, or anything, except pay
ing the installments. But please I'M
derstand that it is not intended to say
that it is wrong to buy any of the arti-
cles aforementioned. 1t is only sug-
gested that a wise man, or woman,
should buy them last, not first. When
the bread Garner is dead all that ac-
emulation of stuff representing his
brains, blood and bones" will not
shelter those who are left to mourn
his departure. Don't play blind
mans bluff" with life, but keep your
eyes open. Buy lot on Thirty ninth
street, east, or elsewhere Don't for
get little life insurance when you
can see your way to keeping up the
premiums. But first of all, get a lot:
secondly, build house, and, lastly lay
up something for rainy day.-ad.

In the open meeting nothing at all was
said about the resolution. 1t had been
considered in caucus and went through
without dissenting vote.
THE shell paVements of the city are
in horrible condition." continued AL
derman Dixon. Some of them are al
most impossible There are holes in
them, that make it impossible to drive
over them with any speed at all. Hall
street is in particularly bad condition.
The resolution adopted by Council is
as follows:
Whereas, the shell pavement on
Hall street in this city. between Dray-
ton and Habersham streets seems to
be worn out, and no longer service
able as a good pavement, for the bet
ter entertainment of the condition of
the pavement in the portion of Hall
street
1T is resolved that the director of
public works and the city engineer
are hereby directed to make a thor
ough and close examination of the
pavement of shell on said portion of
Hall street, so as to ascertain its true
condition, and as to whether or not
81 is worn to such an extent as to be
no longer serviceable as a good pave
ment, cutting into the same wherever
deemed necessary, and these officers
will make a detailed report to Coun-
Gil concerning such pavement, and
their examination thereof so that
Council may be possessed of the neces-
sary information, to the end that il
may take such action in the premises
as may be required. looking towards
She repaving of such portion of Hall
street"
The plan now is to condemn the
pavement at the next meeting of Coun-
Gil and introduce an ordinance for the
paving of the street with vitrihed
brick.

STREET OBSTRUCTION
BOUGHT BY CITY,

ThIrty-First street Now Owned by
the City All the Way.
The city has completed negotiations
with D. B. Lester for the purchase of
a portion of a lot that he owns which
projects into Thirty-first street, be-
tween Habersham and Lincoln.
There was for a time some difficulty
in the negotiating and a paving ordi-
nance for Thirty-frst street was held
up at one meeting of Council, when
it was announced that the city did
not own a portion of the street it
proposed to pave.
The ordinance was subsequently
passed, emitting the block between
Habersham and Lincoln streets. An
agreement has now been reached and
Council last night passed a resolution
introduced by Alderman Thomas, ac-
cepting the offer of Mr.. Lester to sell
to the city for $954.9S, and a guaran-
tee against loss OF rent, because of
the moving of the house on the lot,
which is necessary for Strengthening
the street. Alderman Thomas stated
he did not think there would be any
trouble about the rent guarantee, as
he was satisfied the house would not
be vacant for any great length of time.
