POLICEMAN ELLEDGE
 HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Officer Arrests Man Without Shoot ing, But Only Quick Action Saves
 the PoIiceman's Life.

Just fraction of a second saved Police man Elledge from being killed yester- day afternoon by J. J. Henderson white man living at Walker street and Tenth avenue. Had it not been for the quick ness and agility of the officer in push ing the muzzle of a shot gun to one side, it is probable that the entire load would have been discharged into his body
 Henderson was arrested for resisting an officer, and the policeman escaped with only few brusises and some very sore muscles. The bruises are principally about the head and were caused by Mrs. Henderson. who came to the aid of her husband and beat the policeman over the head with anything that came handy.
 The policeman and Henderson fought for some time and Policeman Elledge had decidedly the best of the argument He choked the prisoner until his wind was shut off and he was completely subdued
 The scrap between the officer and Hem derson was the sequel of Henderson's run ming Pound Officer Harris away from his house with the shot gun earlier in the afternoon. Harris reported the matter to the police department and Policema n Elledge went to arrest Henderson, who threatened to run him away as he had run Harris.
 The gun was lying on the bed and the policeman was probably ten feet away from Henderson when the latter reached for his weapon. Like a flash Elledge sprang at Henderson and just as the lat ter leveled the gun to fire he grabbed it and saved himself. The fight commenced then and ended with the policemans pis- tol at Henderson's breast and a warning not to move.
 Policemen stated last night that Police man Elledge would have been perfectly justifiable in killing Henderson. but Elledge stated that he was glad he had been able to arrest his man without using his pistol Henderson will be tried to- morrow.

 The Frisco and the Southern also expect to have large movements today. All of the railroads have more or less freight in the yards, and they hope to clean up a large amount today.
 The increase of 25 cents per ton on the rate on pig iron, which goes into effect on the first of next month, Is responsible to some extent for this large movement. All the shippers are trying to move all the pig possible this month and save that amount.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
 RELEASED BY PERU INA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh

A GRIPPE spares no class or na- tiona1lty. The cultured and the is- AS norant, the ariatocrat and the pau per, the masses and the classes are all subject to la grippe. None are exempt all are liable.
 La grippe Is well named The original term, la grippe, is French but it has been shortened by the busy American to one word, grip"
 Without any intention of doing so, a new word has been coined which de- scrtbes the disease exactly.
 The ailment clings to the patient as tenaciously as if some terrible giant had clutched him in a fatal clasp.
 Men, women and children-whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of this terrible monster.
 Have you the grip? Or. rather, has the grip caught you2 If so, read the follow ing letters.

 In speaking of Peruna, MT. Madison says:
 'I am hardly ever without Peruna in my home. It Is the most effective medi- cine that have ever tried for la grippe. Tt also cured my wife of nasal ca- tarrh. Her condition at one time was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils.
 'In consequence, an infamed condition of the throat was brought about getting worse and worse, and yielding to no rem edy until Peruna was tried"

 Twelve years ago I had severe at tack of la grippe and I never really re- covered my health and strength-but grew weaker every year, until l was un- able to work.

For the CIV RenurIful.

Denver, Col, has the reputation Of being
one of the most beautiful cities in the
country. and il is said that much Of this
result is due TO the energetic course pur-
sued by It's mayor, who persistently urged
upon the people the following practical
precepts:
If your store front. residence or fence
is dull or dingy, have it painted.
II your awning is old torn ir faded get
new one.
II your sidewalk, fence or gate needs re-
pairing. fix it.
Destroy the young weeds that are start
ing on your property and on your neigh
bor's property.
II your advertising sign is old or faded,
take it down and paint it,
Resolve never to throw paper in the
streets.
Burn all tho rubbish possibe-allow no
one to throw It on the streets, alleys or
vacant lots.
Promise not to spit on the sidewalk.
Organize block improvement society
and allow no weeds to grow ON sidewalk
area or vacant property in your block.
Ask your milkman, groceryman and
expressman to have their wagons painted
Irrespective Of the size OF your homes
make your lawn the finest.
illuminate in front Of your store in the
business section.
The people Of Denver, it is said, ac-
cepted these suggestions in the proper
spirit, and proceeded to act upon them,
with the most gratifying results.
There is no reason why the people OF
Wilmington should not do likewise, upon
their own volition. If it will aid the good
work, however, we have no doubt that
Mayor Wilson will be pleased to embody
these admirable suggestions in an official
proclamation, and urge the people TO take
due notice thereof and govern yourselves
accordingly"

surprIainrI Inalstenoa.

II is surprising to find the Wilmington
Preachers Association insisting that
"Crowley's Book on Parochal Schools. 4"
written by an unfrocked Catholic priest Of
Chicago, shall be restored to the shelves
of the Wilmington Free Library, from
which It had been excluded by the library
committee, after an examination that
revealed the character of It's contents.
With Father Crowley's attacks upon
the parochial schools we have nothing TO
do and no concern. But the matter of
having his book, with its loathsome con-
tents, placed on the shelves Of our public
library is one that concerns all
parents who do not care to have unclean
publications placed within easy reach
of their children.
Regardless Of whether Father Crowley 3
statements are true or false, It is a fact
that some of them are set forth in lam
guage that is absolutely indecent, which
of itself stamps the book as unfit for the
shelves of a public library. The verdict
of many who have read it is in line with
this opinion, and the action of the library
committee inturning down the book has
been commended. And it should be in
dosed even by the ministers who are
asking for its restoration Why they
should wish to have such vile reading
matter sent into the homes of Whining
ton is beyond comprehension.

CHICAGO AND WILMINGTON.

Editor Every Evening: The city Of
Chicago proposes to have a cleaning up
ON the 9Th OF next month.
Mayor Dunno is to issue a proclama-
tion calling on all its citizens to take
effective steps to clear up their back
yards. and vacant lots, and the alleys
which run in rear of their residences.
At the schools the older scholars are to
be set to work during a portion OF the
day in cleaning the grounds about their
schoolhouses
The city win furnish wagons TO take all
the matter thus collected to the dumps,
and it is hoped in this manner 70 dispose
of the large amounts OF rubbish that
have accumulated during the winter
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
in commenting ON this truthiully says:
whether the plan viii prove successful
in arousiug popular interest and Co
operation remains to be seen. But II
seems TO take into account one principle
that might advantageously be followed
out In all large communities That is
the fact that responsibility for a reason
able degree of cleanliness in the streets,
the alleys and the back yards does not
hy any m Ans rest entirely with the pub
lie officials The exercise of a little
common sense and effort on the part of
the average inhabitant would do a great
deal toward freeing these places from
the unsightly hitter which too often en-
cumbcrs them
''rhe people who pay the taxes have
a right to insist that the main task Of
cleaning the highways shall be per-
formed by city employees. But the per-
sons who carelessly regard the streets as
receptacle for rubbish, ranging from
tin cans and waste paper to more bulky
articles which are discarded are de
hcient in one Of the duties Of citizenship
which is by no means unimportant, and
which should receive more attention.
"A city is,after all neither more or less
than a big municipal household.
"The maintenance of habits Of out door
neatness is not only helpful in making Il
attractive but IL often has direct bear
ing on the public health
Would not the plan proposed by the
officials of Chicago be an excellent one to
try in Wilmington in order TO have a
general cleaning up of the yards, alleys
and streets I'm the city
They certainly need 10. and in some
parts of the city they more than need It,
BY united action on the part of the
citizens. lhis work might be done with
out very much difficulty thereby trans
forming Wilmington in one day, into
an attractive CITY beautiful in which
the people should take pride in keeping
so. Then the voters should see 70 il

Whnt the Tariff coata.

The president of a Georgia railroad is
quoted as saying that during last year his
road was compelled to pay $50, 600 more for
rails usedin extensions than any foreign
railroad would have had to pay for a like
quantity. The president of the Mexican
National Railroad says he purchased
steel rails at SPA per ton, delivered at
Tampico, against S2s charged at the mills
for deliveries in this country. That steel
rails manufactured in this country arc
sold in Canada, and even delivered at
Liverpool, at Ss to $40 per ton cheaper
than they can be bought for delivery
any place in the United States has long
been notorious.
The people Of this country constantly
complain of excessive rates of freight
and fare charged by the railroads How
long would there be any reason for such
complaints il steel rails could be pur-
chased as cheaply by American railroads
as they are by foreign railroads? The
difference in the cost Of rails alone would
permit Of reductions in rates Of freight and
passenger travel where such rates are, as
charged, excessive.
The people have to pay for all railroad
expenses, and here we see where they are
mulcted severely by excessive charges foI
steel rails alone TO the railroads they are
compelled TO patronize. The protective
tariff enables the manufacturers Of steel
rails TO discriminate against the people
of this country and impose excessive
charges upon them. Does not this con
dition suggest the remedy
