SPRINGS PARK
AGAIN LIVELY
The Fire Of Yesterday at No
Time Seriously Threat
ened the Resort

Brandywine Springs has recovered
from its fire scare Of yesterday What
this time twenty-four hours ago was
the scene OF great excitement among
the Merchants Fair exhibitors lest
their valuable displays along the
Boardwalk there should be consumed
by fire is now a scene Of merriment.
The band is playing familiar airs. the
caroussel organ is grinding out tune
full lays and everywhere throughout
the resort women visitors are in search
of food samples. In fact nobody is
thinking Of the fire which at one time
yesterday threatened 10 destroy one of
the most popular amusement places In
the park
The fire, while serious enough, at no
time threatened the destruction OF the
resort. 1t did not get beyond the eN-
treme end of the scenic railway fully
1900 feet from the center Of the park,
bucket brigades and men armed with
axes having checked its progress at a
point just north Of the lake. The fire
had its origin in the tunnel at the far
end of the railway and is supposed to
have been caused by a live wire.
Charles Guthrie, one Of the car oper-
ators, saw the fire as he was about to
enter the tunnel with the car. but be-
ing unable to stop the vehicle rode
through the flames and escaped with
out injury. While fighting the fire
George Kaiser and Harry Klair were
TRAPPED by the flames. but also escaped.
Twenty minutes later the tunnel and
200 feet Of the trestle work was a
smoking mass. The Delaware Amuse-
ment Company, which owns the rail-
way, viii rebuild it this summer.
The loss will reach 5000.
Immediately after the breaking out
Of the fire word was sent to the local
fire department for assistance. The
Water Witch, Union and Fame Hose
companies responded but only the
Union Company reached the scene, the
other companies having been inter
cepted on the road after the fire had
been gotten under control. At one
time II was thought dynamite would
have to be used to blow up buildings
adjoining the railway to prevent the
flames spreading throughout the park.
but this preventative was not resorted
to. Two years ago fire destroyed the
railway, and adjoining property, caus'
ing a loss of $4,000.

KEEPS THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Wilmington People Know How to
Save IL.

Many Wilmington people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsible
for vast amount of suffering and i'll
health, but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak Kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is the
statement Of a Wilmington citizen
who has reclaimed good health by the
use Of this remedy:
James Solloway, 221 Searles street.
Wilmington, Del, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and got more ben
eft from single box than lever re-
ceived from any medicine previously
taken. / had been suffering from a
lame and aching back for months AT
times right across the small of my
back became so stiff. sore and lame
that 1 was rendered helpless, and the
most excruciating pains all through
my back from my hips to the back OF
my neck. kept me awake nights and
/ would feel as if 1 was lying on n
bed Of rocks, and to turn caused sharp,
shooting pains to dart through me.
STOPPING, lifting or sudden, quick
movements also caused those sharp,
shooting pains. A friend told me about
Doan's Kidney Pills curing him of the
same complaint some years ago. / sent
to a drug store and got a box. used
them and never had anything TO act
so quickly and TO the point as they
did. and the good results to last Sd
long have not had any recurrence
Of the complaint since 1 took Doan's
Kidney Pills"

a sono Of Rhubarb Pie.

Columbus CO.) State Journal
It takes civility to make a pie. No
one has any business to approach the
task with a frown, a growl or pre-
judice. She must meet the sunshine.
the blinking dews and the soft gales.
She must mix thes ugar, the -four. the
butter the rhubarb. the spicy or citric
flavor, with grace and gratitude, with
kind words and visions OF hope. There
as the great secret of pie, as it is OF
hife Why, If a person would make
peach cobbler out Of the juiciest free
stones, and put a growl in it, you
could taste it.
Rhubarb is one OF the most beneh-
cent gifts. It is roomy, and all the
room is occupied by goodness. Turned
into a sauce it embodies the vitality OF
the springtime. and If you stop and
smack your lips over it, and search
for tastes, you will be sure to find the
flavor Of the dawn and the song Of the
birds over in the woods. Now, turn
that sauce into pie; imprison it with
in the white walls of tender pastry
bake it to the turn Of a maple lear IN
early October, and then sit down to a
quarter of it. Never had that eXpe-
rience? Oh, dear, where have you been
1t may not be too late to let your soul
out of its cell. and send 1t rompins
and tumbling among the stocks Of good
things that the Lord is pushing upon
us. You will be sure 10 run against

Eduoation Of Prussian Women.

The Prussian Minister of Education,
Herr Studt, in an address to the Diet
at Berlin explained new system Of
education which he proposes TO apply
to the women Of Prussia The princi-
pal object win be the better cultiva-
ton of the intellect OF the girl stu,
dents rather than imagination and
sentiment. In the high schools the
girls viii be taught mathematics, sci
ence and political economy, which
hitherto have been neglected. After
they leave the high school the girls
will have the choice OF two new insti-
tutions-one, called the lyceum, and
intended for those who expect to earn
their own living. will furnish instruc-
ton in household duties and charity
work; the other will prepare women
for a profession or for entrance to a
university. The lyceum system is en-
tirely unknow in the German educa-
tional plan for women, and its adop-
ton is regarded as a step toward the
emancipation Of women from tradi-
tional conventionalities and limitations.

the Pump, the skirt and the Wind.
THE PUMP. THE SKIRT the Wind
II was undoubtedly that mysterious
contrariness for which fate is noted
that made sensible shoes fashionable
in a season remarkable for its high
winds. Skirts whose business II should
be to fall gracefully have blown out
wildly. and. instead OF revealing the
dainty pumps and costly silk stockings
so much INDUCED in last year, have
shown rather heavy oxford ties that
hide the hosiery. The new oxford tie
is cut low at the back and sides, and
then, like a blucher design, the tongue
runs up in a point some three inches
above the high vamp. Where vamp
and tongue join there crosses a mar
row strap on which is fastened n
medium-sized buckle. Apparently the
New York Press says winds resent
the passing of the pump and are tor
menting Door women whose feet look
unusually large in this new footgear.
