GOSSIP ABOUT
SOME PEOPLE
Ansnt stout,s eood Work.

70 The Editor Of The Evening Journal
AT the last regular meeting of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, the statistical report for the
month of January. which has since been
published, was submitted. Agent Stout re-
ported In detail, the facts concerning one
inquiry which he acting for the society.
had made, and which have not been given
to the public. a colored lad of perhaps
fourteen years, in order to escape the
cruelty and injustice Of the relative who
housed him, made use of one week s
wages and came to Wilmington. BY means
Of the careful questioning OF Agent Stout
and of some Of the police force, the boys
statements were regarded as truthful and
no effort will. therefore, be made to re-
turn him TO his lawful guardians.
Employment on a farm near Whining
ton has been procured for the lad and he
is giving satisfaction. Just at the time
when wholesome advice and active friend
liness were needed, these were extended
by the Agent Of the S. Pee, and the an
nails Of that boys future may be very diff
ferent for the interest which the society
showed IN his behalf at a critical time.
No child is too young 20 be outside the
pale of the active ministrations of the
S. p. c. c. A case in point is one that
was recently reported. A girl baby Of three
months whose mother has carefully and
successfully concealed both her where
abouts and her identity. was first in one
home and then.in another, until the facts
came to Mr.. stouts notice. 1t was inn
possible TO let this go on and the child
was sent to a New York State institution
in which it will have, it is hoped, mater
nal care, and, certainly uninterrupted
care.
And so the work Of the society goes on.
The biennial report of its activities will
soon be published and the public will then
have an opportunity of getting a system
atIzed account OF its stewardship. This
society is the recipient of a Legislative
grant which, but for the annual subscrip-
tions OF interested persons and percent
age OF fines accruing from successful
prosecutions. would be insufficient TO carry
on its work. A more economical admins
tration than that exhibited by this So
ciety, could scarcely be devised, and it is
the wish of the management, that, as far
as possible. the good work done by the
society may be made known TO its pa
irons and friends. S. p. c. c.

rerms 70 be Reieoted.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
President Reyes, Of the United states Of
Colombia, has notified President Roose-
welt OF the United States Of America. that
he is willing and anxious TO resume the
cordial and friendly relations once exist
Ing between the two Republics. and in
the hope Of a speedy and favorable reply
lbcgs leave to tender assurances OF his pro-
found esteem. Colombia has couple OF
islands, of no particular use TO her which
are al the disposal Of the United States
on terms to be fixed by a convention. She
also asks that a popular vote be taken lh
the Republic Of Panama on the question
OF again becoming Incorporated with the
Republic Of Columbia and thereupon she
will be willing to resume tho diplomatic
relations broken off I'm 1908. IL any other
little matters have been overlooked In the
communication of President Reyes OF
course the convention will lick them into
acceptable shape when found.
President Reyes Is riding with his back
to the locomotive. seeing things only as
they fade into the distance. Colombia had
her opportunity IN the Hay-Herran treaty
and rejected It. In so doing she counted
herself out OF the running and the Repub-
lie of Panama came IN FIRST under the wire
and took the purse Of Sl0OoO.0OO, with all
subsequent and enormous advantages 10
accrue to her from the building Of the
canal across her terrtory-not the least Of
the advantages being in the certainty Of q
Government at once stable and free.
How the Republic Of Panama came to
emerge from the folly of Colombia is not
necessary to bc considered. She did EN-
erge and took advantage Of the opportun-
files Colombia had rejected. This Govern
ment could not compel Panama 20 vote on
the question of relncorporation with
Colombia, aud would not II It could. Co

WHAT 1T MEANS.

a LITTLE diversion was caused in
( \ the situation at Dover yesterday
by the breaking away from the Demo-
cratic caucus of eight members and
their support Of James II. Hughes for
United states Senator.
This disquietude among the Demo-
crats when by no possibility can they
elect, and the evident anxiety Of cer-
tain candidates TO receive the empty
honor Of a complimentary vote may
signify any one of several things; but
the natural supposltion Is that the
Democrats hope to profit by Republi-
can discords and to elect both sena-
tors two years hence.
The friends of MIR. salisbury want TO
keep that gentleman before the public
as the logical and necessary candidate
for Senator with the purpose If there
shall be but one vacancy to fiji In 1897,
the choice shall fan on Mr.. salisbury
without a contest; and in the event Of
two vacancies 20 leave him unopposed
for the long term.
The position OF the Hughes support
ers is similar They wish to keep Mr.
Hughes prominent in the public eye
for future purposes. They have not
forgotten the days Of the old regime
with Dover and Wilmington dividing
the honors; and they wish also to em-
phatlcally protest against the assump-
tion that Mr.. Salisbury is the natural
and inevitable choice of the party for
its chief honors.
This interest which is being taKer
by the Democrats should be significant
to Republicans. It is not too early tc

1t would also set at rest the question
OF whether the Union Republican party
is regarded by the leaders as the pri-
vate property OF one man. Many have
denied this. but to discipline Mr..
Denuey for his manly stand in the in

sufficient proof.
Now let us draw n comparison: Sup
pose the secretary of the Democratic

Hughes or for any other Democrat OF

No; that kind OF politics in Della

cannot flourish side by side. Enthrone

wholesome lessons are being taught

that the example OF Mr.. Denney and
others will have a wholesome effect in
the future. But In any event, we viii

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
cure catarrh or catarrhal colds IL you use
Hyomei. Breathe its health-giving, bal

The complete outfit costs but one DOL

medicine dropper, and bottle OF Hyomei
The inhaler lasts a lifetime, while extra
bottles, if needed, can be obtained for 80
cents. In Wilmington there are scores Of
well-known people who have been cured
of catarrh by Hyomei. II It does not
