MOONS ECLIPSE

Atmosphere of Last Night
Too CIOuded TO Permit
Good View

partial eclipse Of the moon took place
last night. beginning at 1903 o'clock. but
only few wilmingtonians saw it because
the atmosphere was so ciouded that the
moon was obsctued. The phenomenon was
the second one Of the kind to take place
this year, the previous one being on Jam
uary 20.
The eclipse lasted hour and IS minutes,
and the moon reached the middle Of the
shadow at 1l.22 o'clock. It ended at 124l

Administration Building is
Very Much Desired

losis Society being taxed by its present
population Of seven patients, the ex-
ecutive committee of the society VIII
now endeavor to raise sufficient funds
to build an administration building

cost of such building would be $1,000.
The committee hopes the public will
contribute this money at an early
date.
BY doing so they will enable the
managers to maintain the hospital all
winter. and this will keep this very
important project alive and thereby
provide relief and comfort for many
persons who are afflicted with the
white plague.
All the patients now ~ the sanitar-

Most Of the trouble has been between

say, some farmers frankly admit that
they do not care for a trolley and would
rather not see IL built. However, Engineer
Endean IS working perslstently night and

that have much delayed his progress. In
| the meantime he is receiving encourage

termined to put a trolley line in Delaware
and have such confidence in its ultimate
success that they are already making
plans and talking over machinery for
their power stations. Mr. Endean em-
phaticary admits that the people are

NEW YORK, July 25.-Police Com
missioner Bingham is to-day investi-
eating into the workings of his de-

his officers which promises such
shake-up as has not occurred before
since Lexow days.
For all his admission that the police
are too few to cope with crime in New
York. despite his confession that vigil
lance committees are doubtless needed
in many localities to supplement the
work of the regulaY guardians Of the
law. the commissioner proposes to do
all he can to raise the standard OF the
force.
one of the dases most discreditable
to the police is that of the Warner
Noring-Wilson murder of last Tues
day. A

man and hat manufacturer, whom
warner shot as the former was about
to grant his appeal for a small loan'

murder. He will begin at once an IN
