OF the twenty-one girls from whom
the managers Of the institution has re-
ceived good reports three have married

eight are employed as domestics, two
are dressmal<ers, one a tailoress. one a
trained nurse one is training to be-
come a teacher, one learning photo

a respectable family.
These reports speak well for the work
accomplished by the school, which IS
doing much good i'm the manner OF re-
forming wayward young women.
The school, like the Ferris School
however. is becoming too small and
more space is needed. 1t is the desire
Of the board Of managers, If possible
TO erect an additional building in order
that the more hardened girls may be
separated from those who have not be-
come so stepped in evil, and for this
end am appropriation is asked for of $40,
600. It is understood. however, that
this sum will not be called for until a
similar amount is raised by the man.

CATARRH GROWING LESS
Due to the Use Of HyOnei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

INQUIRY at the local drug stores
shows that the sale of remedies for
catarrh has decreased very much in
the last year. Some medicines which
were formerly bought a gross at a time
are now purchased in half dozen lots
and are rarely called for.
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in sale. and that is Hy-
omei This remedy is, in fact, respon-
sibie for the decrease in sale of ca
tarrh medicines. as il has made so
many cure Of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
ent medicines for catarrh during many
years were induced to begin the use
OF Hyomoi by u. James Belts guaran-
tee that the remedy would cost nothing
unless cured. Much TO their surprise
they found that Hyomei did what II

DELAWARE IN SERVICE

Between PHILADELPHIA and New York

The steel freight steamship Delaware.
fresh from the yards Of her builders. ar
rived in Philadelphia yesterday from this
city and went to Port Richmond to take
on 900 tons OF. coal. When loaded she will
go to New York. where she is urgently
needed to replace the. stranded steamship
Onondaga i'm the New York, Boston and
Jacksonville route of the Clyde Steam
ship Company.
The Delaware. like the Pawnee which

built expressly for a fast daily express
service between Philadelphia and New
York, which will be inaugurated as soon
as the Onondaga is foated and returned
TO the service. It is hoped by the company
to return the Delaware about the same
time the Pawnee Is finished.
The opening OF a daily freight service
between Philadelphia and New York Will
be hailed with delight by shippers, as fl
win mean the delivery OF freight The same
day It is taken on board the steamships.
Under thep resent system Of freight ship
ments by rail il is impossible for shippers
to know just when goods will reach their
destination.

HERO WORSHIP IS
ON THE WANE
Our Present Day Stars Not
Thought So Much Of as
OIdtimerS

An Eastern baseball authority COM
plains that baseball is losing It's
sentimental side and points to the hero
worsffping Of former days and the
lack of it at present It is maintained,
and with small chance Of contradiction,
that the diamond heroes in the days OF
Mike Kelly. John Clarlson. cap" An
son, Tim Keefe and Dan Brouthers
were greater heroes than the great
piayeHs of to-day like Lajoie. Wagner.
Afathewson and Waddell It IS not
claimed the players of other days were
my greater in ability or achievement.
That is a disputed point on which the
two generations OF baseball patrons
never will agree, but there can be no
disputfng the giants Of other days
were made greater idols and worshiped
with more devoted enthusiasm by
more fans than the leading stars of
to-day. Some have attributed this
change OF sentiment 20 the greater
number OF star players at present conn
pared with other days. With greater
numbers Of heroes the worship has
been scattered more widely. Another
thing. there is no question but that the
leading players OF twenty years ago
stood out head and shoulders above the
mediocre talent which surrounded
them. while to-day there Is a slighter
difference between the leading players
ond the poorest to be found IN major
league company. The general standard
OF excellence has advanced with years
without regard TO whether the standard
nf individual brilliancy has increased
br decreased. But more than anything
elise Il seems the decrease I'm the senti-
mental side OF baseball is due to the
increase Of the commercial spirit IN
the game itself and TO the steadily de-
creasingi proportion Of sentiment In the
makeup Of the average American
citizen. There IS less OF hero worship
sng inievery branch of public life than
there was n score OF years ago. Base
ball IS no exception. The greater part
Of the American public has come to
svorhip the dollar above everything
else. This spirit OF commcrcialism
has its influence on baseball, both as
regards the men engaged in It and It's
patrons. Instead OF being a mere sport
or pastime, baseball IS serious buui-
ness, and the business side Of 1t is be-
ing preonted 10 the public with con-
stantiy increasing emphasis with each
season. II is no ones fault In par
ticular, hut every ones fault In gem
eral Until the commercial side OF
baesbaM is made subservient I'm every
way to the sporting side OF the game
there can be no return TO the old days
Of sentiment and enthusiasm, when bal
players were idols, whether winners OF
not, and when enthusiasm was spon-
taneous and enduring instead OF Nero
~ contagious and transitory.

ELECTRIC CONCERNS OBJECT
Claim All Wires in the City Cannot Be
Put Underground.

The proposed bill providing that all
wires in Wilmington excepting those of
the railway companies be placed under
ground, which will be introduced in the
Legislature, win probably meet with
much opposition, as the concerns doing
business here claim il would be almost
impossible to comply with such meas
ure.
Electric light lines sometimes have
to be extended for half dozen blocks
in order to supply a single building
with current. and while it can be af-
forded to string a pole line, it would
be out of the question to attempt to
go TO the expense of extending a con-
duit for that distance.
1t is pointed out however, that in
congested districts such a law as the
one proposed should be enforced.

IRISH AND IRlSH-AMERICAN ATHLETES

Our stenographer fair complexioned, blue
eyed girl, whose mother is Kerry woman, APP
peals to us to take some notice of what her moth
er's people are doing in the field of athletics.
Though her father is of German descent, she is
saturated with Hibernicism and proclaims the Irish
to be- man for man. the strongest, most active and
best developed men earth. Here are some clip
pings she handed us the other day and sure enough
she has reason to be proud of cher mothers peo-
ple:"
Boston, July 16-The feature of the annual
games held at Oak Island park today was the es-
Enlistment of worlds record of forty feet, two
inches for the ffty-six-pound weight for distance,
by O'Mahoney of Boston.
New York, July Martin J. Sheridan of the
IrishAmerican club of this city won the all-round
championship of the Amateur Athletic union at
Celtic park today.
New York, July 9-John Flanagan broke the
worlds sixteen-pound hammer record from a nine
foot circle at the A. A. U. games today. He threw
the hammer 173 feet inches.
Philadelphia, July 14-Dennis Murray of Dub
lin, one of Irelands greatest athletes Richard Cot
ton of the ish-American Athletic club, and John
I. Dalton of st. Louis captured all the honors of
the open American field games held here today.
New York July 15-Nfathew l. McGrath of the
New York Athletic club broke the worlds record
today for throwing the sixteen pound hammer at
Celtic park, his distance being 175 feet inches
These items, if globularized, would be rather
bitter pills for the A. P. A. men to swallow for if,
as Cicero tells us, healthy body holds healthy
mind, there is now a goodly number of these
healthy Irish minds in America

have gone to some woman of his acquaintance,
some good woman, for surely there are many such
in Brooklyn, and among his necessarily linn
tied acquaintance, and laid the whole proposition
before her. Now if she could have been only a
sister to the harness maker even coy and demure
sister would know some other maid or widow who
would gladly have shared his fortunes and mis-
fortunes and who would have been active in secur-
ing for him his affinity. But no. Instead, he adj
vertised for wife, and innocently insaney pub
lished his name and address.
Then 500 maids and widows and Divorces swept
down upon his boarding house, surrounded him and
tried by every vile to lure him to the license
ter and before Justice. He became befuddled,
and he doesn't want to marry at all. He has
lost confidence in himself. and he is reported to
be but a mere wreck of his former self. He has
had experience. and probably nothing but
tual experience could teach him anything All his
years he has lived and not known it, seen and heard
and profted not.
He doesn't want to marry now, and no wonder.

NO CHANGE DEMANDED.

The government crop report for July estimates
the production of the principal cereals for 1907
will be something like 560OOOOOO bushels short Of
that of 1906, which is roughly speaking about six
bushels less per inhabtant While the figures do
not necessarily indicate famine or even any ser-
curtailment of our prosperity they are inter
estng as showing the irregularity of the produc
ton of the American farm due to climatic eccen-
tricities over which the people have control.
This irregularty of production no doubt affects
the general business of the country and in the less
favored localities amounts to a serious setback to
activities which will bring stringency of money and
harder times for the people of those neighborhoods
While the crop outlook is not encouraging and ls
below the average of the past ten years it is not
condition which calls for any radical change re-
form in the methods of production. The weather
not propitious, and the crops didn't grow as
sturdy under the adverse conditions of wind and
weather.
Here is point which is seldom taken into con-
sideraion by social and political reformers in their
writings covering the evils which have grown up
in our civilization, and who insist that the appear
ance of evil in the social and industrial fabric I'M
medately demands change in the methods bv
which that fabric has been built up. Because the
weather bad is no reason to suppose it will be
bad next year, and still less reason that should
not plant crops again Irregularity and Unequal
ity of crop production we will have with us always.
1t is of the things we cannot escape Bust
ness in all lines is affected and business men are
quick to meet the changed conditions. But re
formers of a certain class not understanding the
ebb and flow of prosperity, look upon diminished
output of the farm evidence of an evil which
be cured by legislation and they demand immed
ate and drastic change in the hope that something
will develop to better conditions of life.
Politics is corrupt and graft infests the adj
ministration of public affairs, and some people
ground down to poverty while others live in
and luxury but these furnish no reason for chang
ing our entire system of government for tearing
down the growth of centuries. They are doubt
worthy of thought and deserve condemnation and
correction as abuses but the nation does not want
to plunge blindly into something where nothing is
definitely known except that what good and useful
ness there is in the present system would be de-
stroyed.

states represented by the candidates we must con-
cde that they were chosen not only for their abll-
~. br+ because they happened to live In states
whose voters were about evenly divided between the
two dominant political parties. The south Will not
nroduce n president until the south goes Repubh-
oan or the elections are at least not UNANIMOUSLY
Democratic It is not the sectionasm of the north,
b,+ tho nartvsm of the south which keeps her sons
ont Of the running. A less severe nulllhcatlon OF
the fifteenth amendment would soon make the Pc
tica1 outlook for southern presidential asplrants
more bright. But as long as the south IS 'the
solid south" and all the Democrats need to elect Is
Indiana or New York. those states will claim and
qet the nIum, no matter what party is successful.
"a National Democrat" pcturing the south In po-
Itieal martyrdom and the north as sectional over
looks the fact that there other states north be
sides New York. Ohio and Indiana, but they are
pretty safely Republican, so are doomed to mar
trdom as insuerable as that enjoyed by the south,
Of which he complains The politicians want to
canture doubtful states, and the favorite sons Of
those states are about the only men who nave any
chance at the presidency. Notwithstanding the oft
reneated school assertion that every boy IN America
has chance to win fame and the presidency ON
his own merits. In this connection, too, it Is only
fair TO point out that the possession OF a barrel
seems to be one of the requisites of vice presider
tial candidate though of course the 1mputatlon
would hardly meet with the approval of any of the
politicians of either party and certainly not OF the
candidates themselves.

WANTED TO MARRY.

A harness maker in Brooklyn short time ago
earning 81 day; he had a good boarding
house and was generally respected in the circle In
which he moved. Now he is a fugitive driven from
his boarding house, driven from his job, driven
from Brooklyn, all as the result of an advertise
ment in Brooklyn paper stating his financial and
social circumstances and desire for a wife. He
had lost sweetheart some twenty odd years before
when he resolved never to marry. But with the
lapse of the years his sorrow was assuaged, and
his resolution weakened, and he became lonesome
and heartsck for some one with whom he could
share his joys and sorrows and 81 day. The
years which passed between his early disappoint-
ment and the advertisement must have rolled away
with him in a trance. Had he been ordinarily
observant, or gifted with the same instinct which
thousands, yes millions, of his fellow possess,
when the desire for wife came to him he would

The difference between and cougar is
that a COW is useful to man while cougar is not.
The COW receives much attention and is protected
by animal relief societies and humane societies. but
the cougar is hunted for the bounty his pelt. y
parallel may be seen among the human race, where
one man plays the part of the COW, the patient
and long-suffering producer, while another leads
the free and easy life of the cougar preying upon
the weak and unprotected. But, the COW coming to
the end "for the benefit of humanity" and the cou
gar "for the protection of the cow" must put hu-
mainly in an unenviable position from the view
point of either.
