Renewed at New Castle as a
Result of Cows Being
Killed on the Rail

NEW CASTLE. Oct. AT the
Washington avenue crossing of the
Delaware railroad on Saturday night
two valuable milch cows belonging to
Peter Toner We're killed. This fact
has caused comment, owing to the
agitation for safety gates at the Bald
ton crossing The agitation for safety
gates is still growing. 1t is probable
that petition in favor of safety
gates will be presented to City Coun-
ell at its next meeting. The Board

USE on PUBLIc LIBRARIES.


TT HAS come to the knowledge of uiany librar-
4 ians that there are many persons Wl1otleave
the library under the impression that it does not
contain what they want. Naturally one is disap-
pointed if he does not find the particular book he
wants or if he is unable to find the answer to
some particular question, or information on some
particular subject
Such disappointment however, can in many
cases be avoided. The card catalogue. if prop
erly used, will generally give a clue to what is
wanted 1t is a simple arrangement of authors,
titles and subjects in one alphabet like diction-
ary If the author of the book wanted is known.
look under the authors name. If only the title
Of the work Of fiction is known, look under the
title If information is wanted, G. e. on the labor
question, look under labor and part of the Ii
brarys resources ON that subject will be found.
Directions for using the catalogue are posted on
the case, but if they are not understood, any as
sistant will be glad to show readers how to use
it.
If reader has some knowledge of the location
OF the books in the library and goes directly to
the shelves he can be reasonably sure that book
is out if it is not found in its proper place. but il
may be we'll to inquire Of an assistant Possibly
the book is a large one and not shelved with the
other books in that class Perhaps it is placed IL
special collection reserved temporarily for some
study group. It can at least do no harm to in
quire, and it may result in securing the book.
fthe book desired is not in the catalogue. it is
always well to set down the author and title and
request the library to buy it. A large majority
OF requests for books of merit are acted on favor
ably.
In looking up some particular subject do not
leave the library without asking assistance from
the reference librarian From her knowledge OF
the library the reference books and the many
indexes which make the contents of thousands of
volumes available at moments notice. she can
generally be of great assistance.
Do not be afraid of asking questions or of an
noying assistants. 1t is their duty to serve Won.

NOW FOR THE HOME DAY.

~ moters of the Home Day celebration bv
contributing $3.50 toward the expenses The
ommittee desired $1,000 but the amount that.
'ouncil has granted will aid materially in boom
lg the project The time of preparation for the
went is brief and the committees must displav
extraordinary energy if the "Home Coming Cele-
bration' is to be successful. We have no doubt
that they will be equal to the demands made upon
them. The Home Coming idea has gained =
strong doothold in many live and up-to-date
cities, and there are peculiar reasons why the nro
Ject Should obtain here and become a yearly fe,-
ture OF our life. Thousands OF Delawareans are
scattered throughout the country, especially in
the nearby States, and these would be only too
pleased with the opportunity 10 revisit their old
homes on special occasion. there is no reason
why the celebration planned should not be

Valuable Prescription Any

"phe people here do not drink

rheumatism are mainly due to the fact
that the drinking of water natures

Whep reqnested for such a prescrip-

must make the kidneys do their work;
they are the filters of the blood.
They must be made to strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must
be neutralized so it will no longer
be source of irritation to the
bladder, and most Of all. you must

Peter j. Ford. owner OF the Ford
building, an addition to which is now
under construction. has decided to add
two more stories to both the new and

great Improvement for Tenth and Mar
Net streets, which section of the city

prOvements
A large number of offices in the new
building already are rented and for this
reason Mr.. Ford has concluded to build
the two additional stories. The Offices

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

1NER IN New Jersey the Legislature is per-
forming sort of continuous vaudeville.
The legislative sessions have no limit placed
upon them by law. This year it happens that
che branch is Democratic and the other branch
IS Republican. The Democrats have been tre-
covering something Of their lost ground in New
Jersey For years they did not have control OF
either house. AS consequence of the divided
Legislature each side is playing a see-saw games
Each watches the other and is afraid to adjourns
because something might be brought up which
could be twisted to partisan advantage They
arc said to be playing politics" OF course,
like all other legislative bodies or sets of off
Gals, they play politics at the expense Of the
taxpayers who are more concerned in good gov
ernment than they are in watching leaders play
politics The result Of the prolonged session
has been the accomplishment of nothing pra
cal 1t is proposed, however, to limit the
sions OF the Legislature in the future and it Is
also been suggested that the General Asser Nv
OF the State meet not more frequently than Ice
even in four years
Unlimited legislative sessions, however, is an
evil that New Jersey should have remedied
long ago. Here in Delaware until the change
was made and the legislative sessions limited. we
had most disgraceful legislative gatherings.
They were prolonged for months until they be-
came positive nuisance and therefore. the
change limiting the session to a brief one was
made to abate the nuisance. New Jersey might
do likewise. The State would be spared the ex-
pense and no interests would suffer because Of
restricted session OF the lawmakers
