REPLY TO DIR. romLINsoE.

Editor Every Evening: / regret very
much that our friend. Dr. lomlinam
should have lost his temper because |
chose 10 differ with him and deecended
TO handying epthets for arguments /
want 10 assure him that not only ann /
not ashamed OF my n1me, but am proud
Of d. and instead of being q descendent
of Ananias as he so broadly intimates. I
am descended from a line of Delaware
ancestry, God-learing and truth-loving,
whose pride II was To make their word
as good as their bond. No one would
say that Wilmington had not and never
had any smoke nuisance. but that as q city
she is not afflicted with a smoke nuisance
was my contention, and ! still adhere to
that position
Now for the doctors two chosen OK
amples TO prove his argument tho one
Mr. Todd WIS connected with. "a rolling
null. Will admit. when in operation. was
somewhat OF a smoke nuisance, but being
situated where it was did not hurt the
city generally; and ] guess many people
nm that section would like to see a little
smoke going up those chimneys today
but 1t is not creating much of a smoke
nuisance now. As the other illustration
the electric light plant could any illus
tratlon be more unfair They employ
"a type OF boiler used by no other steam
plant M the city-a straight forced
drait--to make steam rapidly without
regard 10 economy in the use of coal
And even IN this chosen example ] think
Mr. Mcgary will tell the doctor that the
damage to his goods is done more by the
SCOT and hne particles of coal and cinders
carried out of the stack by the forced
draft than by smoke. And even in this
chosen example of the doctors, il he will
stand on the corner of Fifth and West
streets, overlooking this horrible ex-
ample OF the smoke nuisance, he will be
surprised TO see how little smoke there
is coming out Of this stack and how
quickly it is dissipated and lost in the
clear air.
/ still contend that any one who will
observe the well-conducted plants around
the city having sufficient boiler capacity
and competent iiremen, will be surprised
how little smoke comes out of the "chim-
ney. If there are any smoke nuisances
IN the city, abate them; but don't pass a
sweeping law applying to all users of soft
coal Unfortunately.
The other points in the argument refers
to the prevalence of tuberculosis in Chi
cago. Is it proven to be due to the
smoke May not the climate have
something to do with that / believe
they have a understanding law in
Boston the doctor is my authority; but
they have a great deal OF throat and lung
trouble there. II can't be the smoke

Mr. Todd once thought of using coke fol

An Elastic Measure.

The Hepburn Railroad Rates bill is a
very elastic measure. It means any
thing that President Roosevelt may
claim that it means.
When the bill emerged from the House
of Representatives. it was an admins
tration measure, pure and simple, and
the desire of the President was that it
should not be altered in the slightest par
ticular.
What the Senate may do to the bill is
still problematical, but that it will inject
material amendments is now assured
And if it should amend by striking out all
after the enacting clause and interpo-
lating an entirely new measure, it would
be the same to President Roosevelt. He
is now in the frame of mind to accept any
thing that the Republican majority of
the Senate may see fit to do, and then
valiantly insist that neither he nor the
bill has changed particle, and that the
measure is as satisfactory to him as IL
was when it was forced through the
House at his behest.
Wonderful affair, that Hepburn bill.
And even more wonderful is the President
of the United States.

varied and interesting. even il not always
calculated to bring the flush OF pride TO
the cheeks of home folks. Last week we
dwelt on the activities of some of our
representatives in the Orient Today
the scene shifts to Africa. Robert r.
Mansfield now consul at Valparaiso, but
formerly at Zanzibar, has told his
Indiana friends. with pardonable salts

practising with a now shotgun in
Jungle near the scene of his consular
exortions. The Queen, with her at
tondants, was bathing in the bosSy
woods. when. without warning, about
thirty bird shot peppered her from an
unseen source. II behooves Kings and
Queens, as well as the common herd, to
stay indoors and barricade the windows
when the American consul goes cunning.
Mr. Mansfield did not tell the Queen that
TO the representative of the United States
she was indebted for this delicate atten-
tion. He asked his government almost

FRUIT IN LAooUERED TIN.
Satisfactory Method of Putting Up Pre-

Satisfactory Method of Putting Up Pre-
serves for Commerce.
In view of the undoubted fact that
fruit juices act upon tin, although the
amount Of tin dissolved is usually quite
small, interest attaches to a simple
method Of preventing this action, no.
ticed in The Lancet. Says that paper:
1T is not desirable that preserves
should be contaminated with metallic
salts even though those salts do not ap-
pear to be injurious There Is no dis
tinct evidence that small quantities of
tin salts are prejudicial to health. but il
is possible. and the only way of elimi-
mating any doubt in the matter is either
TO give up the use of tin for the purpose
or else TO adopt a means by which any
action upon the tin is made impossible.
Glass, OF course, from a hygienic point
of view. is the most satisfactory material
that can be employed. but its use entails
obvious Disadvantages. In transit for
example. glass vessels are liable TO break.
they cost more to pack. and they cannot
be handled with the same impunity as
can metal container IL is satisfactory
TO learn that the old objection to the use
of the tin container for the purpose of
preserving fruits has been completely
overcome by a method recently adopted.
The process is extremely
simple and consists in uniformly cover
ing the tin with a thin veneer of lacquer.
which is absolutely proof against the
action of fruit acids and. in fact. as we
have found, against even the action of
mineral acids. We have examined
several tins in which various iams have
been kept, and I'M no instance were we
able 20 ind any evidence of the tin being
acted upon, the lacquer being Just ms
sound as when il had hrst been put on. "'

DOG AND RABBIT cHUMs.
Playmates Course at Eastern Parkway
Golf Club in Brooklyn.
Washington Pod


Washing Rton Pot
A white rabbit. with pink eyes. struck
up a friendship last fall with the clgb s
smoOth-coated fox terrier and the two
enjoyed many frolics on the links. To
be exact, il was the dog that did the
frolicking The rabbit was merely the
centre about which the dog frisked. Yet
the rabbit seemed TO derive pleasure from
the lively companionship.
The rabbit was slow and fastidious
nibbler of the grass and tender sprouts
of dandelions. Between the spells Of
whooping it up the dog would sit by in
idleness and watch the slow-moving
friend. Sheer lonesomeness is supposed
to have drawn the two to each other. for
each was the only one of its kind toler-
ated on the course.
Occasionally a strange dog would catch
sight of the rabbit and hurry to the at
tack with a joyful ki-yi. Such forays
brought about 10 the terrier a succession
of delightful scraps TO enliven the tedium
of being a golf clubs dog Again il was
the terrier alone that enjoyed the strife;
always upon the appearance Of a strange
dog the rabbit scooted away for the golf
house.
The fox terrier has not come on duty
yet this season, but the rabbit is on deck,
and on fine days scampers about the
course Laing has a spotted coach dog
also in his shop, and he has taught it not
10 molest the rabbit, but there is no
friendship between them-only enforced
neutrality
The professional has also some fine big
cats, which form family with the rabbit
and spotted dog II may not be termed
a happy family. The juxtaposition is
clearly an enforced one, and Il the ami
mails had 10 vote they would occupy sepa-
rate and distinct lodgings
Rabbits have had more TO do with the
making OF golf links than most folks
imagine. Indeed, If the Dummies had
their due the game would be described as
a recreation of the warrens instead of a
pastime ON the links
Links" originally meant sand-covered
by loose, thin turf, which is eminently
unsuitable as a definition of the ideal
golhng turf, which, above all, must be
close, thick. soft and yielding. a divot
on such turf means only an irons length
of grass blades; a spoonful Of green stuff
and not a scrape; roots and an, as must
be the case on loose, sparse turf

Work for the Lnwvers.

The story is told in Washington that
when Senator Hale commented on the
rocklessness of some Of the proposed
Senate amendments TO the Railroad Rates
bill. Senator Spooner replied "If they
keep on l shall resign from tho Senate
and 60 to practicing law again. At this
rate there won't be lawyers enough in
the country to keep up with the business
that is being made here
It would not be at all surprising if this
iocular prediction should prove true. A
doubtful bill of this character would be
sure 10 keep the lawyers busy.
And the people would have 10 pay their
fees and an other expenses incident to
the threatened litigation.

Roosevelt Ii a cnndldnte.

II is only natural that the absence of
any really popular and aggressive candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
President in 1908 should keep the question
Of the denomination Of President Roose-
welt in the public eye despite his positive
announcement that he win not accept
another nomination.
The prestige and popularity Of Gen.
Grant were such as 10 make him for
midable competitor for a Presidential
nomination for the third time, in 1850,
against such great party leaders as
Blaine, sherman and Conkling. He did
not gain the prize, nor did any Of the
Others, compromise placing the name of
Garfield in tho lead after one of the most
sensational political contests ever known
in tho history of tho country.
Grant defeated such giants Of the Re
publican party as Blaine, Conkling and
sherman, although no did not win the
prize for himself Reasoning by analogy;
what chance would such pygmies, in
comparison, as Fairbanks, Taft. Shaw.
