Wilmington Has to Bow to the Inevit-
sble-seores Of Citizens Prove II.
After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of VIII
mington given below, you must come
to this conclusion. A remedy which
cured years ago, which has kept the
kidneys I'm good health since, can be
relied upon to perform the same work
in other cases. Read this:
Mrs. Emma ]. Slffer, wife of Jacob
b. Sliffer of 519 S. Jackson ST.. Will

commends Doan's Kidney Pills just as
strongly today as he did in 1897, after
they had cured him Of pain in the
back and kidneys. Before using
Doans Kidney Pills procured at Dam
lforth's drug store. he suffered so Sc
verely that sometimes he toppled over
while at work and had to be carried
home Later ne was laid up for six
months unable to do tap OF work.
Doans Kidney Pills brought him
prompt and permanent relief and he
has never complained of his back or

STAMPS GIVEN THE BARBER
Boy Handed Him Postage Stamps and
Man Stamped His Feet.

The clifton correspondent Of the Ches-
ter Pa. Times. says:
Maurice Cumberland. who conducts
barber shop on Baltimore avenue, was
the victim Of "A practical joke on Satur-
day. and he is now minus the price of a
shave. A little boy came into the shop
and had his long hair trimmed. and after
the knight of the razor got through with
his job the little fellow rendered eight
two-cent stamps in payment. Mr.. Cum
berland handed the boy back one cent in
change. one Of the patrons, who was in
the shop at the time smiled and asked
the proprietor whether he was taking
trading stamps instead of money. but
Maurice only laughed and sad, That's
one on me- It being the first time that
any person had ever offered him stamps
in payment for his service.
William j. Kelley. the well-known
hotel man of this borough. was in a
chair getting shaved. He is known for
his ready wit, and he often gets of
good yarns and jokes Presently, Mau-
rice finished shaving and massagng Mr..
Kelley's face, and when he got out of
the chair nc said Maurice. do you take
stamps IN payment for shavesT' The
barber replied. Yes; give me six" Kelly
times. after which he went out and
bade the barber good day. The half dozen
patrons roared their appreciation, while
Maurice stood by dumbfounded and won
dering how he could be so easy.

IT HE Czar is making more promises.
i The effect OF these promises in
aliaylng the gathering storm may be
surmised. II before any outbreak oc-
currod and while his power was secure
and unquestioned the Czar had allowed
his people some measure OF self-gov-
ernment. the act would have been hall
ed as a gracious oondescension; but
not now.
Every concession, which is probably
Intended to deceive the masses, is in
terpreted as weakness, and an indica-
ton OF a fear Of the uprising all over
the empire.
n is now question whether the
car can save his throne. lie can hard
ly save it without a great deal OF
bloodshed or by the instant institution
Of sweeping reforms.
The revolt which began with the rail-
road strikes has spread an over the
empire, and includes nearly an classes.
Hundreds of thousands of men have
ceased labor and are busy planning
revolution. In Moscow and odessa
provisional governments have been
proclaimed. and almost everybody is
uttering sentiments openly which a
year ago would have meant siberia.
Tho revolt cannot go much further
without an uprising In Finland. and
all that Is now required for great
revolution is strong leader.
or course France will do an in her
power TO assist Russia in curbing the
insurrection as she holds the bulk Of
Russian securities Germany may al
so take a hand with purpose Of check

people prove TO be in earnest for revo-

tional brain and an exceptional consti-
tuition doubtless in his case goes alo, g

That people as a rule eat more than

since the matter has been tested thor
oughly and scientifically; but nobody
competent to express an opinion holds
that they sleep too much.
Indeed our most celebrated physicians
denounce habits which curtall the time
spent in sleep The loss OF this repose
is held responsible for the breakdown
OF society women and men Of business.
It is generally accepted as fact that
the average man requires about eight
hours sleep. and he knows from actual
experience what is best for him.

We think it is dangerous TO preach
the doctrine Of less sleep. for the raw

well. the man who knows how to avoid
it has solved part OF the problem OF
longevity.

TO hold up portion of it in order that
the legality Of the departments decision
to lay the new system of water mains to

further would be done in the matter.
The letter of the city auditor giving his
reasons for reconsiderng his action in
ment last week, which has been pub
lished, was read. The board then unani-
mously passed the payroll.
City Solicitor Townsend sent a letter
to the board informing the latter that he
had arranged for a conference with coun-
sci for the Lea Milling Company relative
to the objection of that concern to the
laying of mains across the Brandywine.
at Il certain point. A communication was
also received from the Wilmington and
Great Valley Turnpike Company rela-
tive to a similar objection stating that
the officials Of the company would meet
the commissioners for the purpose Of adj
justing matters.

that cannot be allowed liberty without

suits.
Swearing, singing quarrellng. shout
ing the names Of stations and generally
insulting and annoying the quiet pas
sengers. the swine finally reach their
dumping place.
Is there any need for IL? We wish
that some prominent official had to
ride on one Of these smoking cars from
Delmar to Wilmington or from Will
mington to Delmar every Saturday
Conductors and brakemen seem sat
ished with collecting fares. Indeed. we
have seen them abruptly quit car
apparently to avoid unplessantness
But the respectable man who wished
to enjoy his cigar could not escape
so easily
Another thing-and this applies TO all
ears-is the open window nuisance.
There are men and women who must
have the window open, no matter
though icy blasts are sweeping ia; and
we have seen stubborn brute insist
on keeping his window open when the
rain coming through it was beating in
the faces OF the passengers occupying
the rear seats.
There are people who pass through
life with chips on their shoulders. A
request for them to do or not to do
a particular thing arouses the brute
stubbornness ia them. When asked TO
put window down they will keep IT
up til their marrow is frozen.
These persons should be made to
understand that the reasonable COM
fort OF other passengers must be re-
spected.
