SWINDLER WAS
TRIPPED UP

BY a clever impersonation q young man
has been swindling the residents of the
city Of various sums Of money for over
a week and II was only by the merest ac-
cidens that the game was discovered ana
the imDoster put out of business. The
operator is known to many people living
on the east side. He dressed himself In
tattered clothing and worn out shoes
and then secured wooden box with a
slit in the lid.
lie travelled from door TO door and to
each one answering his ring or knock he
would assume % woe-begone look with
tears almost yelling from his eyes and
sorrow and misery apparently behind
every word he uttered. He would tell
a pitiful tale His father had just died
and the family was too poor to bury h m.
lie, the only son. was soliciting money
with which TO defray the funeral ex-
penses. He would give the name of We'll
din and his residence as Fourth and
Pine streets. and az one house he even
volunteered to take the man down to the
house 10 show him the corpse.
In this manner the fellow secured con-
siderable money and would have reapea
a harvest had he rot approached the
wrong house. lie told a man he lived al
Fourth and Pine streets, giving the name
Of a person in the same house. Al the
sgma time the individual in question ap
him was trapped. He fed. with the man
he had swind'ed in pursuit. bat che lad
escaped and has not since been seen.

The Wateh snatehIna VandaI.
c. A. p.

Editor The Evening Journal.
One Of the greatest acts Of vandalism
committed by unthlnklng men is the
scratching Of matches on the walls Of
buildings, public and private. Wherever
ono goes evidence Of this disfgurement
may be seen, and especially on the walls
and windowsiils Of ofhce-buildings. While
there Is no law TO cover the practice
and anyone who would attempt prosocu.
ton for such an offence would be ridi-
culed, Il is nevertheless a serious ques-
ton and one that demands attention.
The owners OF buildings do not like to
see handsome colored walls streaked with
scratches and yet what can be done? In
my opinion It is matter in which the
public should become Interested, and
everyone should take pride In not oaly
not defacing buildings, but asking others
not TO do so. Scratching matches On
walls Is thoughtlessness The one who
docs 1t means no harm. does not realize
what he is doing. but he leaves his mark
ana 1t is Noticeable that where one man
scratches a match another will do the
same, until there is a bfoteh that Is in
deed unsightly.
Yours druiy.

Save the Back Stamp.

Editor The Evening journal.
J have been much surprised to read that
several post Offices are disseminating the
practice Of back-stamplng Of letters. Tie
people are told that this change in the
method OF handling mail is In a measure
experimental but it may become per-
nianont. and II Is possible that in some in
stances greater expedition of local dellv-
cry may be accomplished.
So FAR the order has not come to the
Wilmington potofhce. Let us try and
prevent such ca.amby. In my opinion
the only safe guard IS the back stamp.
II shows the time the letter reached the
pcstofhce and a person can always tell
how long 81 takes to deliver the letter.
How win a person be able to tell whether
letter carrier keeps letter for three
hours or three days if there is no receiv.
irg time stamped on the envelope. I sax
save the back stamp; tt keeps a cab on

HOW LUMBER ADVANCES
No Wonder People Find IT Expensive
to Build Houses in West Chester.

While the people Of Wilmington are
wishing they had more houses and Won
dering why more are not erected. this is
no secret from the builders. who know
only too well the CAUSES. There is not
only one reason. but many. The high
price Of lumber has frequently been mem
toned. and this is an important ore. IN
obstacle which even the men who do
their work have difficulty in surmount-
inc.
Here are a few figures showing the ad-
tence in lumber in the pasc few yelrs:
Hemnock was SIS; is now sos
White pine was S25; is row sllo
Yellow pine was s22; Is now S42.
These are the prices asked per thousand
feet The figures differ somewhat ac-
o-rdlng TO quality and size o. lumber. but
the figures are said by a home dealer to
be about those the market records.

EIGHT-HoUR RULE.

TT is announced that the Methodist publishing
n concerns throughout the United States will
declare for eght-hour working day for their
printers beginning on November L. This is a
welcome change from the program stated by one
OF their bishops some time ago, which was to be
a war between the unions and this great church
The adoption OF the eight-hour rule is vic
tory for the trade unions that began the agita-
ton But it is one OF those victories in which
workngmen who do not belong to the unions re-
ceive the direct benefits of union agitation Had
not the unions through their agitation methods
naugurated the eight-hour movement there
would have been no decrease in the hours of en-
ployment Nearly all the advance made by the
working classes has come through agitation by
trades unions There is no other way by which
they could hope to take forward steps

prevail among the Republicans of Kent in the

A Fine Idea For Infants Underear-

The newest idea in infants outfttinr
is to have all the little undergarments
fastened at the shoulders only. which
allows them to be slipped on and off
all together instead of requiring the
separate adjustment of each one The
cambria skirt, flannel pettfcoat and
shirt are included in this set.
Detachable collars and cuffs on girls
white linen suits are very sensible ad-

late freshness or elaborately embroid-
cred and inset with lace.

a lace chemisette is to be manufac-

to fit the wearer and baste the lace on
