Old HOME WEEK AT BALTIMORE.

ID ALTINIORE is in the midst Of its "Old
~ Home Week celebration and, judging
from the reports, it is a lively time in the Mary
land city Former Marylanders are gathering
from all parts OF the country, and there is real
iollifcation. Baltimore never seemed bigger to
their eyes than it does to-day, and never on one
special occasion have so many residents Of the
State gathered into their chief city as have been
in Baltimore this week.. livery nducement >
made to bring the prodigaI Marylanders back
home just to see how things are going.
Wilmington is starting the "Old Home Week"
idea this year on a modest scale for beginner.
Therefore, if the event is to become permanent K
would be well for everyone to pitch in and help
it along.
Batimores celebration is elaborate and shows
what Wilmington's one may grow to if the idea
this year proves at all taking. In Maryland there
are band concerts every day; receptions by the
governor, the mayor and FIVE minute talks by elo-
quent former Marylanders; concerts by the
united singers Of the city; parade OF all the mill
tary; bombardment Of Fort McHenry nam
moth parade of the fraternal organizations; cleo
trical pageant; parade of the city departments.

Truly, Baltimore has imposing week of il,
and the Baltimoreans seem TO enjoy it, The
week has sentimental and a business side to it.
Persons desire to return home and the sentiment
OF all getting together is good one, while on the
material view thousands Of people gather in the
city, see its trade advantages and Baltimore is
therefore doomed
Let us turn in and give Wilmington a boom.
Now is the opportune time. If we could get the
people Of the Peninsula to come to Wilmington
there is no doubt they would be pleased with
their experience, and they would want to visit
us oftener and deal more with us

least one Of hunanity's failings to dis
cuss. ana so many Of the prominent
journals are sermons from beginning

curiosity for a printed page without a

readable as well as vlrtuous. on how
to educate the wife's economic sense.
how to treat your statesmen. how to
advertise honestly. how to behave in
the role Of young man in business,
and how to bale goods. The Nautical
Gazette quite rightly lauds the hero
ism of Robert Fulton for the good of
its readers. The Municipal Journal
sticks savagely to water mains and
temptation succumbs to Our Duty of
Obliterating the slums. Even the Hotel
Reporter has as many don'ts for hotei-

Southland which had one of the most

at the elbow Of the guest morning

covered the entire ground:

World Magazine for October. 1t Is
made Of stearic acid, which is only
one ingredient of the tallow that grows
in the sheep and in the steer.
Neither is the "tallow dip" of to-day

wicks and dip them in hot tallow. time
after time, till the candle had acquired
the proper thickness. To-day they run

hundred candles instantaneously
The "tallow dip" in the market to-
day. therefore. would be more accu-
rately described If it were called a
"stearic acid mold" But nevertheless
/ it remains a tallow product 1t is the
direct lineal descendant Of the "tallow
dip" of our grandfathers. And it is
still so popular that just about 13O,-
100000 pounds of tallow, according to
the calculation Of one of the best-in-
formed manufacturers OF Chicago are
consumed every year in the candle fac
tories of the United States. Although
/ gas and kerosene and electricity have
/ deprived the candle Of a large part Of
lthe popularity to which it might have
considered itself justly entitled, it is
probable that in both hemispheres to-
{ day there are more candles shedding
their mild and humble radiance than
in any previous period Of the worlds

DUPONT AID TO THE DISTRESSED.

II HE disaster to the dupont mills at Fontene-,
4 Indiana, is one OF the worst if not the
worst that has occurred in the long history Of this
great powder making industry One gratifying
thing about the aftermath Of the explosion is the
promptness with which the residents Of the
neighboring Indiana cities came to the aid Of the
injured, and in this humanitarian work the Big
Four Railroad Company has been in the advance.
AS was to be expected the home office Of the
powder company wired to the Indiana State Off
cials to spare no expense in helping the injured
and relieving the distress. Accidents OF this kind,
however deplorabe, inevitable in powder
making They are part OF the business.
This disaster in far away State calls to mind
the widespread extent of the dupont mills and It.
is credit to this city that one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in the United States ra-
dates from new and progressive Wilmington.
