Japan Growls at the New Woman.

The girl who is the product of the fe-
male education of the present day does
not make a suitable wife for ordinary
japanese by any means. She learns
much at school that is of no use to her
in after life, and she is too often made
conceited by the smattering of knowl-
cage she possesses and is apt to put on
airs. There is great lack of practical
ity about the instruction given to young
girls at most modern schools Some of
the girls from these schools may suit the
tastes of officials, but the majority of
them are stunned by marrying men for
the reasons given above.-Rikugo Zas-

for the Board of Health was the sum of
81 900, which was for items other than
"crematory" or garbage" If other
moneys had have been intended for the
BOARD of Health" or e le Council would
appropriated under the head OF item,
"Borad of Health" or also Council would
have departed from its usual custom as
applied TO other departments. Appro-
priations were at that time made under
the heads or items "crematoryn and gar
bage," but as the aforementioned ordi-
nances relating TO such matters were
then in force, such appropriation, from
legal standpoint at least, must neces-
sarily have been in contemplation of the
provisions of said ordinances.
a. The incurring of such indebted
ness is also further prohibited unless the
department making the contract has
money in hand sufficient to pay its con-
tract obligations as the same mature,
and certainly unless such fund has at
least been appropriated 70 such depart
ment. Section n Of the city charter pro-
vides that; "The Mayor and Council of
Wilmington" (which includes all the de-
partments Of the city,, shall have no
power or authority TO contract or create
any debt or liability except ordinary
debts and liabilities in the common
course Of carrying on the work and bust
ness Of said city, and these must be paid
out of the taxes, rents and receipts of
the year for the time then current
The Board of Health has no such rev
enue, and to hold that it could award
contracts and that Council would be
compelled TO pay for the same, would be
no more than to hold that any depart
ent of the city could exceed its appro-
priation and other revenues, and that
Council would be compelled to pay the
excess. Such a proceeding would GER
tainly nullify sections 65, SO and n and
the city would depart from the theory of
the charter that business is TO be done
on a cash basis, and the respective de-
partments kept within the limits Of their
revenues.
The question as to which department
could better handle garbage contracts is
one with which my opinion has nothing
20 do As a matter of law, ] am salts
fed that the Board Of Health has no
power TO award contracts in any way re-
lating to the collection OF disposition Of
garbage, but that such power is in Coun-
ell, and / shall act in accordance with
such conclusion when contracts relating
thereto are submitted TO me for my ap-
prevail The Board Of Health, however,
should see that all laws and ordinances
relating to public health are enforced
just as the Police Department looks TO
the enforcement of criminal statutes and
ordinances. Respectfully submitted,

the weather was disagreeable. A slight

aay, but hardly enough fell 10 cover
the ground. Las. evening, however,
there was almost a blizzard. A blind
ing storm OF snow and wind began at
about O'Clock and continued until
late in the evening.
The local trolley lines had their
aweepera running over the track until
ii O'Clock last evening. They again
swept the lines this morning. No
serious delays were caused, either on
the railways or railroads by the storm,
but for time it looked "a though the
anniversary of the blizzard which
occurred last January was to be cele-

Of debts within certain limits.
In the act creating the Board Of Park

deem necessary for the management and

Danger Pointed Out.

Editor Every Evening: Kindly permit
me to call attention TO one of the dan.
gers to the travelling public on railroads,
and it is only one Of several that is
simply the result of criminal careless
ness upon the part of the management
of these roads
Yesterday my attention was attracted
by a loaded freight car standing on a
siding of one of the lines running through
Wilmington.
Evidently this car was not properly
loaded and the contents shifted as the
car was in transit so that part of the
lading extended from the side door to
within a few inches of sideswiping or
wrecking passing trains on the main
tracks.
Danger of this nature would be De.
creased if the roads were constructed with
more space between the different main
tracks and with the sidings at a safer
distance from these tracks.
As it is, railroad managers should be
compelled TO exercise more care in the
movement Of freight cars where the lives
of passengers are endangered by careless
handling of these cars.
