STATEMENT BY REV. L. f. BARRETT

Editor Every Evening: at is no credit
to Delaware that "a l4-years-old girl of
Baltimore who broke away from parental
restraint and fled with her lover should
have found in this State the minister who
was willing to perform q marriage cerc-
mony Delaware, particularly the city
of Wilmington, is becoming notorious as
the place whore marriages are performed
without question"
The above editorial in your issue Of
yesterday Monday does injustice to the
ministers of this State. They are as con-
scientious and as law-abiding as any class
of citizens TO be found anywhere, and do
not knowingly and willingly violate law.
Marriage" as far as | know, care not
performed without question" at least in
this section of the State. The law pro-
vides a long list of questions which we
are compelled TO ask, among them the age
Of the parties. The girl in question gave
me her age as rs years; / had no means of
knowing she was telling me a falsehood
| have refused TO marry many parties
when / ascertained that one or both were
under the legal age / am confident that
if you had properly informed yourself
concerning the case of the Baltimore
parties, you would not have written the
above unjust accusation. A line to me
would have brought you the facts You
are incompetent to judge without them
ask as a matter of simple Justice that
you give this communication the same
publicity you gave the above editorial

National Municipal League.

The National Municipal League, which
will hold It's annual convention in At
lantic City, next week, aims to promote
thorough investigation and discussion of
all forms Of municipal government, to
ascertain and make known the most de-
sirable lines Of legislative and construc-
tive work, and to arouse general interest
in this field by every sane and sensible
means.
It's system Of uniform municipal ac-
counting is being utilized in more than
ninety cities, and the effect Of It's recon-
mendations has been generally and in
creasingly evident in the new or reformed
charters for American cities, and in Porto
Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippines.
These are only some Of the many
proofs Of the practical value Of the
Leagues work.
It's central office furnishes a means of
communication for more than one hundred
and twenty-five affiliated organizations,
and forms a clearinghouse through which
citizens and organizations in one locality
may draw upon the experience of muni-
cipalities anywhere in the United States.

ADJUSTMENTS

Happy Hooligan's Trip Around
the World. hilarious and laugh
provoking farce comedy, based on a
series of famous newspaper cartoons,
began a three days engagement at the
Lyceum Theatre, yesterday, to crowded
houses. Unlike most musical comedies
this one has a plot consisting of the
efforts of woman TO earn large
fortune by travelling around the world
in two years and marrying a poor
man who performs some worthy act
during this time. Various obstacles
are put in the way of carrying out this
project, but finally justice survives
the efforts to stihe it and Happy
marries the heroine The scenery is
not spectacular, but it is ample and
the costumes are SNOWY. The piece
deserves the cordial reception it was
accorded yesterday.
The western military play Northern
Lights, will be the attraction at
the Lyceum Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. This great play is too we'll
known to hardly need comment. 1t is
story of brave and heroic deeds
deeds that have become part Of the
history of our country, romance of
love, tale of human sacrifice.

Senator Tillman has introduced a reso-
luton directing the Senate committee ON
finance to investigate the subject Of po-
litical contributions by national banks.
with view to determining if any such
have been embezzlements or ''abstractions
or wilful misapplication of the funds of
the banks which call for restitution
or criminal prosecution. Il is not prob
able that the resolution will be adopted.
but its introduction will cause fear and
trembling among the directors of many
banks who permitted the funds in their
control to be illegally appropriated to
political purposes at recent elections.

A Square Deal For the Horse.

- o4uc~AO DCoA 4 Ut CuO HORSE
Various humane societies in towns
and cities are doing good work in
checking cruel abuses Of draft horses.
Most large centers are comparatively
free from fragrant offenses in the treat
ment Of horses, such as whipping un-
mercifully and overlooking. But there
are cruelties sometimes due to thought
iessness or ignorance, especially in the
not season. A farmer with a large
load to haul to distant market will
start at daybreak or even before If be
has moonlight or starlight and the
roads are good. His horses will rest
IN the heat of the day or else make the
home trip with light load.
In cities where the streets are we'll
lighted it is possible to do most of the
heavy hauling when there is no broil-
ing sun to agonize the horses. This is
the rule in many countries where the
sun Is fierce for all kinds Of hauling
AS an innovation here it would be at
tended with some Inconvenience, but
the horse will do more work in the
long run if spared the torture of heat
and flies. Fidelity to his master works
hardship for the horse, and some day
perhaps our dumb servants will be
given share at least of that thought-
1ul care now extended to them in
heather lands.
