William Tyson; Treasurer, G. r. Mitchell
At tomorrow nights meeting it is pro-
posed to select a number OF committees.
The class started with a membership
Of seven, and the number is now 80. Mr..
Perry says he expects that there will be
so members in the class by next Sunday.
In its membership the class numbers
several people who have not been identi-
fed with the church, and, in fact, some
who have never been identified with any
church, while there are some who are at
tendants at church but never before took
part in the sessions of the Sunday-school.
This class holds its meetings each Sunday
afternoon, at the same time the Sunday
school meets. Mr. Perry, the teacher
explains the lesson for about 20 minutes,
at the conclusion OF which he invites ques-
tions, which are freely asked, and FIVE
minutes are allowed for conversation
among the members, so that they can
become better acquainted with each
other, and during the remaining five
minutes, the members are permitted TO
bring up any subject for the benefit of the
church or the organization From among
the membership there have been seven
conversions in the church, and that many
additions to the church membership
Il is proposed that the class shall take
up every branch Of church work to which
such organizations can give attention
including assistance in the financial work
visiting, going among those who may be
induced to Join and offering them an
opportunity to do so, and it will also pro-
mote entertainments. II is likely that
there viii be a banquet in "A few months
The committees TO be appointed tomorrow
night viii include one on membership
one on enrolment and one on sociability
Churches in some other cities have
similar classes, and the scope of theil
work sppars to be limited There are
some in Chicago who not only attend {,
affairs in the church, but also to pleasures
which are not directly connected witt
the church. Some have regularly organ
lied and uniformed baseball teams. which
are members OF leagues; also football anC
basketball teams, and in some instance
gymnasiums are maintained To wha
extent the work of the AsbuTy class vii
60 has not yet been determined, but il il
likely that some definite plans will b.
mapped out at the meeting tomorrow
night. The object of the class is to d,
what IL can 10 attract 60 the church younl

HONESTY OR DISHONESTY;
whIeh wln You Eneeurarsg
Ny heart doiests him IS the gates Of hell

rwho dares think one thing and another tell,
My heart dotests him ast the gates Of hell"
Extravagant statements and extraor-
dinary claims are made by nearly all manu-
faclurers nowadays without any COM
punctiOn whatever. II Ia argued that this
Ia one OF tho up-to-date methods of doing
business, Tho good old-fashioned methods
ara no longer In vogue.
For Instance, it Is considered proper for
the manufacturer Of medicine 10 tell the
public that his product will help certain or
an diseases when he knows that Il will only
argravate same. Particularly Is this true
OF the proprietors of remedies that contain
alcohol. Most of these remedies will afford
temporary relief but claims are made that
permanent cures will be effected.
Il does not take a very huge intellect 70
figure that medicines containing from
fifteen 10 fifty per cent alcohol are bound TO
produce bad effects. The average liquid
patent medicine contains moro alcohol than
the average alcoholic drink.
For any one TO claim that a medicine
containing alcohol will build up tissues Is
absurd. II destroys them. These remedies
claim to heal and sooth the various mucous
membranes of the body. Boshi They lrritste
and iniame them. The work OF destruction
goes steadily on until they are completely
destroyed.
Another claim made by these so-called
medicines is that they increase circulation.
!
heart has almost ceased to beat thRt little
whisky will increase Il, but most people
also know that n its use IL continued Tor
any length Of time, the doses have to be
increased, and when the whisky is stopped
the patient reapses to worse than his
former condition. So II IL with so-called
medicines which are nothing but temporary
! sumulants.
How different from these Is Maree's Malt
Emulsion. Not drop Of alcohol IN II. No
false hopes held out to the despairing one,
but safe, sure and permanent remedy for
bronchial and pulmonary affections and all
wasting diseases. When your vitality Is
low then il is you need something that will
infuso new life into your whole system.
This energy can only be obtained from n
medicine which Is a food like Magee's Malt
Emulsion. IL contains only pure Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil, syrupy Diastasio nom
alcoholic Malt and hypophoephites OF Lime
and Soda. These ere absolutely the greatest
body builders known to medical science.
Magee's Malt Emulsion heals and builds
up the tissues instead of destroying them.

AN INVESTIGATION is IN ORDER.

HOW it is the Water Department that needs
4 i funds. The fact that the commissioners
have been compelled to borrow in order to meet
expenses will come as a surprise to the taxpayers
Of thu. CITY. Citizens have been accustomed to
regard this department Of the ctys affairs as one
marked bv careful management, always yielding
surplus and aiding Council to meet its expenses
It is true that the department is under heavy eN-
nense for improvement and that It is also pro-
posed to pay an enormous figure Tor the Lea
water rights. This latest development IN the adj
m;nistration of the affairs Of the department
however, will cause the pe9ple to,sit up and take
notice.
In fact. all our city departments are getting
into condition Of chronic lack Of funds. Coun-
Gil istaiwavs short the Street and Sewer pc
nartnient is complaining of lack OF funds and
has to curtan expenses and destroy its efficiency
and now comes the unpleasant news that the
Water Department is without funds The ques-
ton IS where is all the money goingl We sug-
pest that the Board OF Trade, the Mercantile AS
ISOLATION and 9thsr civiG bodies conduct an in-
vesteaton Of tho adairs5of the city and how they
are managed If our tax rate is TO be increased
and the bonded indebtedness swelled the people
should begin to know and to think about it.
Such condition would affect vitality the affairs
Of the city and our business prospects. There is
a hue and cry for money from everywhere The
next General Assembly will. be flooded with
schemes to secure money for different things.
There should be a general overhauling OF affairs
in Wilmington and some method should be de-
vised TO increase our sources of income without
an additional burden upon real estate which all
ready is taxed heavily enough

lawyer who was the chief attorney for the
Mutual Reserve Insurance Company, and who
was not presumed to be directly connected with
the scandals has been found guilty of the charges
brought against him. The jury hesitated four
hours and finally decided upon a verdict Of
guilty. The conviction of the lawyer is the first
Of the kind that the New York district attorney
Office has been enabled to secure since January 1,
when the Armstrong committee completed its
investigation.
It is not expected to be the last, even though
District Attorney Jerome be not inclined to
prosecute the big men for offences connected with
the scandal The district attorney has been
twitted with sleeping, but the Burnham case
shows that finally he has awakened. There has
been no acquittal of an insurance case, and until
the accused men go free there are grounds for
hope that more Of them will be found guilty.

Meter Worked Overtime.

Editor The Evening Journal
Your timely article regarding the
outrages Of the gas combine meets
with my heartiest approval, and per-
haps my own experience may be an
example Of what the people have TO
stand for
Last summer l closed up my resi-
dence and according to usual custom
took my family to the seashore for
three months. locking up the house In
the meantime. What was my surprise
upon returning to get a bill for gas, it
being alleged that while we were away
Ia larger amount Of the illuminant had
been used than ever before.
OF course ! made an energetic kick,
and after considerable time had elapsed
and many meter inspections had been
made the company came to the con-
clusion that something was wrong with
the meter. Perhaps my threat to have
the thing taken out OF the cellar for
good had something TO do with the
discovery Of the error.
Yours respectfully,

II it be true that the holocaust Of Tuesday
night which roasted alive ten horses, destroyed
several buildings and wiped out the accumulation
Of lifetime of one Of our worthy, Woodworking
colored citizens was due TO a defective FIRE plug,
the Water Department is guilty of almost GRIM
nal negligence If the commissioners would
devote as much time to their duties as they do
to arranging for high bidders getting fat con-
tracts, and holding secret sessions to put through
such deals as the Lea water rights purchase. our
city would not be in peril Of such destruction as

Leave the Plugs Alone.

Editor The Evening Journal.
According to your paper one Of the
local fire companies had trouble at q
recent fire in turning on fhe water at a
city plug. The brass top Of the faucet
had been battered down so that zhe
fremen could not get a wrench over the
top to turn on the water. This, IT was
said, prevented the men from getting
into action as quickly as they might
have done. Nor think the Water
Board, or whatever body has charge OF
the fire plugs. should inspect the whole
thing when they go to turn on the
water to see that it is flowing properly.
The faucets, wrench grips and every
item about them should be examined.
The least thing that might be out OF
order would be capable of delaying the
firemen for an hour or more, and in
the meantime thousands of dollars of
damage could be done by fire that
otherwise would not have amounted to
very much. The tampering with water
plugs is a serious matter. and anyone
found mutiating them should be
prosecuted to the extent OF the law.
Respectfully yours.
Fireman.
