OF Interest to Women

Heaven help the woman who
thinks 1t doesn't matter what she
wears-she is not only vain, but lido
tic" Is the cry Of a contributor to "The
Ladies' Field" This writer dilates on
the absurdity of any woman's fancyinx
she can afford to be Independent Of
her clothes. or that men never know
what woman has on" whatever they
may say to the contrary.
There Is no doubt" as she ackn0vl-
edges. that men are genuinely sim
cere IN making this assertion, and
really do believe in their own iniifRer-
ence to such paltry accessories to
feminine charms as hats and chfffons.
But every woman knows in her heart
the great part clothes play In her life,
ana. SO long as men persist in falling
IN love only with we'll dressed women,
1t Is useless for them to proclaim the
relative unimpOrtance of such mat
ters."
"A we'll dressed woman need NOT
necessarily be extensively dressed
at any rate, from the male point OF
view," sagaciously continues the au-
tnor, and where women make their
! mistake Is in assuming that II ia
enough for clothes to be merely beam
tiful or merely smart. The really vital
question for every woman in reference
to every hat, gown, coat or fur she
buys is or ought to be is it becomina?'
Life. indeed, for woman must al
ways be more or less a question Of
appearance, and none is so good, or so
beautiful, or SO intellectual that she
can anord to be dOwdy. The art of
dressing and of making the most of
her own appearance, far from being
a sign of supreme feminine folly, as
many people would have us believe. In
In reality one of the most important
arts a woman can master. The really
foolish woman is the one who neglects
her personal appearance.
JAMESTOWN NAVAL DISPLAY.
Associated Press to The Eve.inx T,~e>
Norfolk.Va., Aug. 7.-Probably no
feature of the approaching jamestown
exposition will be more interesting
than the naval display. Already
number of countries have accepted In
vitations to send fleets to this country
during the exposition. There are evil
dences OF desire Of the nations hav-
Ing large navies to make a brilliant
display, and, therefore. they are anx-
ious to find out how many vessels the
other nations are going to send. It Is
stated that Admiral Togo will be in
command of the Japanese fleet, and
that one or more of the noted apanese
vessels that figured in the Russian
war will be seen in Hampton Roads
next year. Emperor William desires
to send a large fleet to the naval
gathering, while the French republic
likewise desires to send number
OF her famous warships. Of course the
United States will make magnificent
display. and during the period of the
exposition every one of the American
warships in the waters of the Atlantic
Will, at one time or another, be in
Hampton Roads.

And l ask the citizens to withhold
their judgment until that committee
reports.
The Voice further says that I own
the j. L. Robinson place and that it
was up to March, 1906, used for i'm
moral purposes. This is also a scan
dalous lie, absolutely false.
And | here and now challenge the
editor of the California Voice to meet
me at the Merchants National bank,
corner Main and Second streets, at 10
a. m. Monday morning and that we
both put up $1,000 each If the charge
that l own the Robinson place is true,
then my $1,000 will go to the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Voice to, take its thousand down. In
the event that the Voices statement
concerning the Robinson place is false,
then its $1,000 will go to the Young
Mems Christian Association and 1 take
mine down.
Now, you villifiers and slanderers,
come and substantiate your charge.

SUBSTANCE OF
AMENDMENTS TO
CHARTER ARE GIVEN

Following is summary of the eight
charter amendments to be voted upon
next Tuesday:
The first of the proposed amend
ments would give the city engineer
$4,000 instead of $4,000 a year. and the
health $4,000 instead of $4,000 a year. 1t
would raise the salary of the secretary
of the board Of public works, who now
receives $3.50 month"; to 5000 a month.
The second amendment would give to
the board of public works the power to
acquire, by condemnation, purchase or
otherwise, all property necessary for
the construction or completion of any
public work.
This amendment would also give to
the board of public works the power to
eXpend bond money, voted for the COM
pletion of the Los Angeles aqueduet,
without let or bindrance, without con-
sultlng any city official or body, ANA
without the requirement that the
mayor, council or any commission
should sign demands.
Power is also given the board of
works to appoint a disbursing agent
who shall pay workmen employed
for the aqueduct outside the city This
would do away with the necessity of
laborers coming to the city to receive
their pay
The third amendment provides that
any civil service employe injured in the
service of the city while actually en-
gagged in the discharge of his duties
may be assigned to a position other
than that for which he has been ex-
amlned, with or without examination.
The fourth amendment provides that,
in order to expend any money, the vote
OF five, instead of six of the members
of the board Of education must first be
had. AT present the charter requires
that six of the seven members OF the
board of education must pass upon any
act requiring the expenditure of money
before the ACT is made legal.

Russell was not recognized until he
was being booked at the sergeants
desk One Of the officers remarked on
his resemblance to the man who had
served several terms at Folsom on
charges of burglary and holdups, and
the fact of his attempt upon the life Of
Judge Austin. Russell denied the alle-
cation emphatically, however, but the
police remembered him well
The negro is credited with being one
Of the cleverest burglars and holdup

CHESTER STOPS NOISY CARS.

THE people of Chester have suffered from the
- noisy street nuisance. Here in Will
mington we have long had it, but such is the
supremacy of Hoif and Rigg that there seems to.
be no way to stop the Affections of noisy cars
that they impose upon us. But it is different in
Chester The horrid racket of these cars has
aroused the residents of Chester to action.
Prominent citizens of Chester took legal action
against the trolley company, and Judge Johnson,
in Media, has signed decree requiring the Ches-
ter Traction Company to cease running its noisy
cars in the city of Chester. The company is
given until October I3 to have the cars in good
running order We presume that as a result of
this order the HofR Rigg imperial dynasty will
hustle all their noisy old cars to Wilmington and
put them on the Maryland avenue or Front street
lines Some Of them my be run on Market street
and Delaware avenue just to impress the citizens
that the Rigg-Hof dictatorship is supreme in
Wilmington and that it cannot be touched.
But the whole question involved in this is, Are
we stupder than are the people of Chester7 Will
mingtonians have always boasted that we had
bigger population than has Chester, and that
Wilmington is better city. We shall have to
do something to sustain our reputation The
Chester citizens declared that the Chester Trac-
ton Company had been running noisy cars for
two years. We have had the same kind here for
a longer time than that
1t really does seem peculiar there is no way to
bring this railway company to terms. What as
the Street and Sewer Department? Have they
no authority to stop the noise Of these cars?
They seem to have plenty Of time to consider the
building of big sewer to benefit private corpo-
ration, but how they do shy off from tackling the
street question: If there is no other way
