MUCH DIRT In
MARKET STREET
Condition Worse Than It
Has Been In Number
OF Years

According TO the statement Of one Of
the street cleaning brigade. or white
wings as it is called. who has used a
brush and shovel for over eleven years
on the citys streets Market street to-
day is in dirtier condition than it has
been at any time during that period.
From Fourth to Sixth street. where
new street beds have been laid papers,
dust ana refuse OF all descriptions abound
ANA it is almost impossible to keep the
thoroughfare clean. Usually the sweep
inss are taken TO livery stables and d.
posted by the baTel-man but of late
liveymcn have refused 10 accept them
ON account OF the character of the ma
terial which composes them. The o'd
foundry yard on Tenth street was also
used as "a dumping ground for time.
but since its purchase by the Dupont
people this has not been permitted.
Merchants along Market street also
complain of the dust which arises from
the coating ON the bftuitthc pavement
ana which penetrates their stores and
settles upon goods. The Wilmington City
Railway Company is at present engaged
in relaying the pavement between the
rails which. although much needed and
appreciated work. adds 10 the dirt which
accumulates daily in the street. Street
sweepers say that it II almost an inn
possibility TO keep the street in a pre-
sentable condition.

MoLeau's Challenge.

R J. MLEAN, an alert man of affairs of this
A~s city has sent chilling blast into the atmos-
pherc of warm air that has surrounded Thomas w.
lawson of Boston. The exaggeraton and recklese-
ness of some of Lawson's statements concerning the
insurance companies have apparently made him
immune from direct reply.
His attack upon the anti-Lawson policy holders in
the Wilmington meeting Of policyholders recently
held has produced man who has challenged him
to combat Mr.. Mclean has most assuredly brought
Lawson up with round turn. The Boston man
should answer the questions Of the Wilmingtonan,
The latter wants facts
Mr.. Mclean. we fancy, does not propose to
snatch from Lawson the credit the Boston finaucier
deserved for his agitation that resulted in the present
expose of the methods as praotced by the monarchs
of our high finance.
The insurance situation is bad enough without
making it worse. Almost every day the evidence
before the Hughes investigating committee reveals
the gross misconduct Of those who have managed the
great insurance companies Like the English maxim
of old which declares that the King can do no wrong
the managers of the insurance corporations have be-
lieved that they can do no evil. They have arrogat
ed 10 themselves council of perfection They set
aside plain statutes of the law. They have falsfed
the records They have toyed with the assets
Public examiners have been deceived. They have
evaded the payment of just taxes. They have fraud
ulenty misused the funds Of their policy holders.
But for all that they have not come up to the Lawson
claims of robbery. And Mr.. Mclean calls attention
to that fact.
Lawson deserves great credit, but as much as he
is entitled praise, it does not mean that conserva-
tive pohcyholders are prepared to join his brigade
of dragons who propose to slash right and left into
the huge assets of the companies Any way it
looks if Mr.. Mclean will get niche in the hall of
insurance fame as the man who boldly telegraphed
Mr.. Lawson to make good on some of his as
sertions The Wilmingtonian is entitled to a fair and
reasonable reply.

LOST Ring HAD
MANYVICISSITUDES
SchOOIbOyS Find Lost Article
and Throw It Away As
Worthless

An interesting story attending the
loss and recovery of solid gold
diamond snake ring is told by John b.
strahan, salesman in the store Of NJ.
Megary & Son.
While driving through Marshalton,
Mr.. slrahan lost the ring. and though
he made a strenuous search. he failed
to recover it,.
Through an advertisement the miss
ing ring was returned to him yesterday.
and with 1t the tale of its vicissitudes
during its absence.
"A small denizen of the country village
while on his way to school, spied lying
In the dust by the roadside. q glittering
object, which he rescued from It's OBJ
scuuty. 1t proved to be the snake
ring, but so crushed and nattened as
TO have lost almost all resemblance to
such an article.
In the belief that his find was nothing
more than worthless tin and cut glass.
the hoy flung It away, and it again
sank into oblivion i'm a nearby field
until rescued by another school boy on
his way home He showed it to several
school fellows, one of whom promptly
took II into his own possession upon
the first opportunity. 1t was from this
lad that Mr.. Strahan recovered the
valuable ring, and he has taken it to
a jeweler who assured him that il
could again be put into shape.
None of the youthful finders had any
idea of the quality of their trove ana it
remained for a more elderly resident
to inform them of its value.

MY neighbor said he was worn out

Is it not possible for tho people Of
Wilmington either through the news
papers or the law to secure some kind
of decent management for our street
railways? The nuisance referred TO
by physician in your paper yester-
day is not overdrawn. The poor light
ing, filthy condition of the cars and
rcwdyism ON the cars al times are
certainly observable TO every patron
Of the line. The service cannot be de-
pended upon to make connections with
the railroads even when oe starts out
a car or two ahead II is a usual thing
to sea the cars running on Delaware
avenue in groups of two or three, with
mtermission of from 10 10 20 minutes.
Il must be that the stockholders or
managers of the company are non
aware of the way their property in
this city Is being managed. II they are,
aud allow it to continue they should
be compelled TO forfeit their charter
and allow the public to be served in
some halfway decent and reliable
manner by another corporation.

Christmas Exchanges.
That's what "C-G" thinks. He has
found a swinging horse that cost sS
and he wants to dispose of it for 50.
Right here is a verification of the
theory that a small sum of money is
better than an unused article in the
garret 1t would be good wager that
"C-G' will dispose of the swinging
horse before many days.
Nearly everybody who is advertising
in the EXCHANGE columns of the
Journal is receiving replies and OBJ
tanning results. One gentleman who
tried the departments sent word to
the Journal Office in haste yesterday
to take out his advertisement. He had
advertised a room for rent, had rented
it and could have rented it several
times So many applicants called that
to protect himself no cancelled the
advertisement.
If that was not quick result what
would be considered such? His little
advertisement appeared but twice and
for a small cost he is now receiving
manifold returns,
This statement can be verified If
anybody wishes to investigate. In fact,
the more rigid the investigation, the
more clearly apparent will it be that
in no other manner can a person OBJ
tain results so satisfactory as through
the EXCHANGE columns Of the Even
