CHAT OF PEOPLE AND EVENTS

Another week, whose review
holds so little of sparkle and life,
casts the blame upon outside
conditions, so gloom enshrOud-
ed that it's days must perfOrce
pass with naught to make them
of mention. The single excep-
ton to a quiet all EN- bracing was
Friday which came with double
allotment Of pleasure, the APP
pearance of Miss Katherine Egg
glestOn at the college, intrOduc-
ing to Column bians a talented
youny woman of unusually in
teresting and attractive person
ality, and the Winston entertain
ment giving the second bright
touch to the social calendar.
There were also, by way of com
pensation, informal duplicate
and bridge whist parties.
Mrs. Weisiger and Miss Har-
dy Of Virginia were the guests
of honor at a lovely entertain
ment Friday evening. when the
cordial hospitality of Capt. and
Mrs. William Winston gave to
the week an event Of happiest
memory. The Lawson carnation.
splendid in its development and
ia color. was everywhere in evil
dence IN the artistic decorations
of reception hail. drawing room
aud dining room, and whist was
enjoyed by a company of skilled
players. The score cards were
particularly unique and pretty;
the favOrs for the ladies having a
graceful elk's head design, the
gentlemen souvenirs being gay
golf girls. Capt. and Mrs. Win
ston we're assisted in receiving
by Mrs. Weisiger. Miss Hardy,
Mr.. and Mrs. T. W. Hardy and
Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Ayres.
Mrs. Winston was especially
handsome in a gown of black sat-
in wife yoke of heavy cream lace.
Mrs. Weisiger and Miss Hardy
wore most becoming gowns of
crepe de chine. An elegant
meat course was served at the
conclusion of the games. Invited
to meet the honorees were; Mr..
and Mrs. Searcy. Mr.. and Mrs.

Opening Of Congress

NINTH the opening Of Congress at Washington
" today, one of the most important sessions of
the National Legislature body will begin. Unfor-
tunately for Delaware our state viii not have its full
complement in the upper house Mr. Alice is the
sole senator of this state in that branch In the
lower house Representative Hiram r, Burton will
look after the interests of Delaware.
Not often does it happen that New Castle county
is deprived of a voice at Washington but this stua-
ton is due to unfortunate political complications
which, happily, promise soon to be ended.
Most important matters affecting the concerns of
the country will come before the law makers at
Washington The chief of these viii be an attempt
to pass law dealing with the alleged evils of phases
of the present railway situation. Speaker Cannon,
of illinois has been unanimously chosen by the
Republican caucus to occupy again that exalted
position. The speaker announces that he is in sym
pathy with the movement looking towards the cor
recton of the railway evils. Indeed President
Roosevelt almost daily is winning converts to his
idea that something should be done to remedy the
complaints about the rebate system.
1t begins to look as if thsre would not be serious
opposition to a measure of some sort. Many of the
foremost railway managers themselves are favorable
to such legislation and those who are withholding
their support realize the futlity of their position
To be sure the staunch opponents of legislation
are coniurng up pretended reasons why nothing
should be done. They do not want the subject even
investigated and they deny that there are any COM
plants at all worth considering. They hold up a
picture of awful things that would happen under
government ownership ofraiways. President Roose-
welt they well know does not contemplate govern
ment ownership of railways Regulation of rate
rebates to secure equal justice to all shippers is
very different proposal from government ownership.
The discussions in Congress on this and other
questions promise to attract widespread attention.
They will be Illuminating and viii surely result in
better understanding and hearty effort to remedy
the injus6oes complained of. while at the same
time carefully guarding the property interests of the
companies as well as the rights of the people in
general,

Hearst Gains Votes

HE latest developments in the recount of the
\ New York vote, shows some changes which
if continued, in other districts, would make w. r.
Hearst come very close to winning the election on
the recount. The Tammany leaders, however do
not appear to fear such result the mayor is al
ready preparing slate for the important offices in
New York which are to be filled by his appoint
ment. Hearst spent huge sum of money in his
attempt to win the election in New York
Since the face of the returns showed that he had
been defeated by very narrow margin, the Muni-
cipal ownership candidate has been conducting the
warmest sort of contest to win On a recount of
the votes. 1t is doubtful, however, whether Hearst
really wants the position. 1t would be impossible
for him to keep the promises made by his campaign
orators and he would be apt to meet with the fate
that has overtaken Judge Dunno, of Chicago, who
was elected on the municipal ownership scheme for
that city which he finds impossible at least i'm
practicable to carry out.
Having failed to secure the office and with the we'll
founded suspicion that he was Counted out. Hearst
can pose as martyr to the wies of Tammany in the
future and thus continue his warfare against the
organization in that city.

MONDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1905.
ElLTRATloN

TOR some time the pollution of the Brandywine,
4 the source of the supply of drinking water OF
this city has been going on. The towns situated
along its banks in this state and in Pennsylvania, have
been using It as an outlet for their sewage and
although no cities Of great size so use it. there has
been sufficient contamination to render the water
supply OF this city anything but pure enough for
drinking purposes.
Inasmuch as the jurisdiction of the health authorities
of this state, and of the city does not extend
the sources Of contamination elsewhere It remains Tor
the Board Of Water Commissioners Of Wilmington to
purify the water before distribution to the city.
This they propose to do by the employment OF one
Of the two methods of filtration now commonly used
for that purpose. These two are the slow sand
method of filtration, and the mechanical or sedimen-
tation method. using Of chemical coagulant which
destroys and causes the bacteria to settle to the bot
tom Of the water.
The first named method consists of passing the
water supply into concrete reservoirs, known filter
beds, at the bottom of which layers of sand of
effective size and cleanliness through which the water
must pass and leave the suspended matter and
bacteria on the surface Of the top layer Anefecve
slow sand filter will cleanse about 100000 gallons
of water per acre per day. The upper layers of the
filter beds require constant removal and renewing in
order to act effectively.
The mechanical, or chemical coagulaton, method
combines to certain degree the sand filter idea with
the addition of the introduction into the water supply
before it enters the filter proper, chemicals of
harmless natrre-generally sulphate of aluminium,
iron and lime. These chemicals mixed according to
the requirements which analysis Of the water
supply shows, combine with the matter in the water
containing the dangerous germs to form an nsolube
combination which cannot pass through the filters
md from their own chemical action upon themselves,
do not effect the taste Of the water The action is
rap and thorough that with the same rate of flow
from the source of supply, mechanical filter of the
same size as the slow sand filter which oieanses
100000 gallons per day, win cleanse 125,000,000
gallons per acre per day.
Tests are about to be made with both of these
methods and the results should bring something de-
finite for the guidance of the Commission.
The people of Wilmington wish the purest water
that can be had, regardless of cost Ii it can be
secured by the mechanical method, well and good,
let US have it. If it can only be secured by the slow
sand filter then let that method be adopted But
before adopting any plan let each be given fair and
unpreludiced trial Let partsanship, favoritsm and
graft be kept away from all tests and plans of the
Water Department.

Money in Elections.

HE discussion over the improper use Of money
a in the elections of this state. still continues
Among many Denocrates it appears to be based on
the reasons that the Democrats cannot secure
sufficient funds with which to carry on political war
fare of this kind The Dover News admits that it
does not believe the Democrats should stop Sc
curing votes by the use Of money until the Repub-
licans cease doing the same. Every Evening points
out that the Democrats cannot compete with the
Republicans in this sort of business. OF course it
may be judged how much the sentiment against the
improper employment Of money by the Democrats
may be inspired by the certain failure to get enough
funds to be effective
During the last campaign the hope of our Dem o.
cratic friends was centered in securing large sums
from the National committee They believed until
the last few days before the election that the friends
of Judge Parker the money interests and the trusts
opposed to President Roosevelt and anxious to secure
he election Of Judge Parker, would empty part Of
heir Golfers into Delaware. When the Democrats
here found that this money had gone in other direct

Memorial Services

THE Wilmington Lodge of Elks is to be con-
4 graduated upon the success of its memorial
exercises held in the Garrick theatre last evening
The services is one peculiar to the order and it is
tribute to the memories of the deceased who had
belonged to the lodge. Last evening the exercises
were most impressive. The singing was good and
the address of Mr.. John H. Fort. of Camden, N.
j.. who assisted in founding the local lodge placed
the aims and objects Of the order in manner that
has never before been presented in this city.
The Elks are one of the strongest and most popu-
lar of the many fraternal organizations that have been
doing 50 much good in charitable manner, through
out the country.

ions their campaign here practically collapsed
When the Democrats conclude that they viii cease
spending money for votes. it will do a great deal
towards bringing that practice to amend And if the
Democratic party is so opposed to the alleged
debauchery, should begin at once to practice what
it breaches. But from the real controlling forces of
the Democrats of the state there has been but little
intmation that the party leaders think the time has

Owing to the fact that these distant

than the flag system, requiring always

Hives.-Aromatic syrup Of rhubarb
is very efficient remedy for this trou-
blesome outbreak. The dose Is one
teaspoonful repeated In two or three
hours If necessary.
Wood Alcohol.-Among the danger
GUS adulterations of the time is wood
alcohol because it is cheaper than the
other in the manufacture of essences
and witch hazel. 1t Is said that
fully 175 persons have lost their eye
sight through the use of witchhazel
prepared with wood alcohol.
Stomach Troubles. The human
stomach must be the greatest piece of
machinery ever invented. It will
stand more abuse than a corn shred
der, take care of foods that will rust
a tin can, hold drinks that will eat
their way through a pine board, ham
die stuff that dog would not stop to
taste and look out for whatever is
poured into 1t day or night A cider
mill would refuse to grind were it not
treated any better than a fellows
stomach and tombstone would shake
of the lettering If it had poured over
1t the liquids that the average man
pours down his throat. People talk
about stomach trouble yet there is no
such thing. The trouble Is with the
fellow who owns the stomach, not
with the stomach itself. Given half
a chance, a two-quart stomach will
outlast ten-gallon lard can or a
patent leather saddle. That the old
thing becomes clogged up occasionally
or eventually wears out is no wonder
when it Is considered how 1t is
abused.
