In all but one of the car barns the COM
pany has provided rooms, heat and light
for the trainmen in which Libraries and
card tables have been established. The
rooms are used for lounginR places for
extra men and a social media for all the

Assistant Superintendent Nash says that
the majority of greenhorns who apply for
jobs as motormen come from the farms
and small towns Many are rural-raised
young men who are tired of the pillow and
live stock and want to break into the city.
Years ago men of Irish ancestry predomi-
mated among the street men; more re-
Gently the balance has run to Swedes. A
very few experienced men apply for work.
Some of the applicants have been common
laborers, teamsters, etc. Not a few are
attracted by the apparently simple duties
Of the motorman and the species of au-
thority he Yields in running his car. 1t is
to be remembered that motormen are al
ways dressed IN neat uniforms ana caps.
They keep clean; in fact, the rules of the
company require them to do so. These
points are not Of minor Importance to fell
lows who have followed occupations that
. leave their stain.
The local traction company would rather
take the greenest hand who ever applied
and attempt to teach him the work OF a
motorman than hire expert who knows
every city in the country and is not afraid
to start out on the heaviest run on the
system. Men who have served as motor
men elsewhere are viewed with slightly
preJudiced eyes from the very start. II
they were good motormen and could hold
their Jobs. why didn't they keep them is
the question that is Immediately pro-
pounded by the superintendent. Rather
than run the chances of taking on a man
who has failed at the work some place
else for an unknown OF vague reason the
corporation inclines to training its own
men, teaching them the business slowly and
carefully, reasoning that slIh employees are
likely to be more stable and dependable.

Tonight

Since William NJ. Connolly, building

have discussed the natter and 1t ap-
pears TO meet with the approval OF all
public spirited citizens. The suggestion
made by NJ Connolly to the Police

City Has Gained.
That Wilmington has gained consid-
eraby in population within the past
five years is demonstrated by the fact
that many families have been brought
to this city. principally by the DUPONT $
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Never was work so plentiful
as at present and a number OF hrms
are constantly on the lookout for help
from outside the city.
Merchants Approve.
The popuation of a city is one of its
best boasts, and the merchants in gen
eial favor taking a census. They point
out that the figures issued from Wasa-
ington giving Wilmington a population
of only $1,000 arei Incorrect and say that
these figures were reahced by the stat

Life in the Stars.

From the San Francisco Can.
That human beings exist and have
worlds of their own up among the stars
is the conviction OF Professor w. w.
Campbell. director of the Lick Obser-
vatory in Caufomia. "It IS inconceiv-
able TO me-" DE said, in speaking of the
theory that Mars or other planets are
Inhabited "that only one planet or one
star should have intelligent life, and
that the earth is that one.' The doc
trine of probability is dead against it,
and there IS the highest degree of prob
ability that there are inhabited worlds
above MS. AS to- human beings ON Mars
&c IS entirely possible, though we do not
know that the human ANIMAL as we
know him. would live in the atmosphere
OF that planet. which is not as dense
as that on the tops of our highest
mountains. nc is not difficult TO be-
lieve, however, that human beings on
Mars might be created in our own
image and sun have lungs capable Of
sustaining life there.
