HELP FOR THE
BLIND OF CITY
Council Will Allow Library
Appropriation Mr.. Van
Trump Asks For

Through the efforts OF c. Reginald Van
Trump. former Superintendent of ahe
Wilmington City Electro Company. the
blind of Wilmington will be furnished
with a private depa rtment in the VIII.
mington Institute Free Library supplied
with literature adapted to their needs.
Some time ago Mr. Van Trump called
the attention Of members of Council TO the
number Of blind in Wilmington and sug-
gested that a separate branch for their
use might be established IN the library.
His proposition met with the approval OF
the law and finance committee. to which 1t
was referred and at Councils meeting
last night an ordinance was presented by
the committee calling for an annual APP
propration of $3.50 for the establishment
OF such department. The proposed ord.n-
ance was returned to Chairman White
after being given two readings and viii
be acted on favorably at the next meet
ing Of Council.
When this department is established the
blind of the city will be indebted TO Mr..
Van Trump. who himself is blind. Several
years ago he was among the most active
and popular citizens Of Wilmington. While
working about the electric light plant he
was effected with electrolosis which de-
prived am Of his sight. The blow was a
fearful one but since his afhiction Mr..
Van Trump has interested himself in the
bind Of Wilmington and has accomplished
much for them.

TREAT FROM MR.. HASTINGS.

HE EVENING JOURNAL tomorrow will
\ publish the first of series of articles by
Hon. Washington Hastings, of this city The
mention of the writer is a sufficient guaran-
tee that the series will prove entertaining illumi
mating and instructive. The title selected for the
series is "What know about Delaware Politics
and Other Things"
The caption is we'll selected. Everyone in
Delaware will admit that Mr.. Hastings knows
great deal about politics, and most of us know
that he has big fund of information about other
things. No man in Delaware is better acquainted
with the affairs of the State than is Mr. Hastings
His long and busy life has ranged from the days
of John M. Clayton to the present time. For many
years he was in the thickest of the fray. He was
always fair, always open, always straightforward,
frm in his convictions and not backward in ex-
pressing them
But his friendships and acquaintances ex-
tend far beyond the borders of Delaware.
He has attended many national conventions of
the party, and has very wide circle OF friends
among men OF national prominence.
Away back in 1880 he knew Theodore Roose-
welt, and has kept up that acquaintance He has
been an intimate friend of Vice-President Fair
banks since the Republican convention OF 1884.
He has been a close friend of Gen Woodford. the
former minister to Spain, since 1872. With Cen
eral Bingham and Charles Emory Smith, Mr.
Hastings has enjoyed cordial relations since the
national convention of 1884 Senator Foraker and
whole list ofothers are among those with whom
Mr.. Hastings has been in close touch. Not only
in politics, but in business life does Mr. Hastings
enjoy large acquaintance extending throughout
Philadelphia, New York, Chicago Boston, and
other cities.
The result of all his observations study and
thought will find expression in this series of ar
ticles, and for fear our readers may believe they
will be confined to politics, we assure them that
the "other things will prove equally interesting
and Mr.. Hastings will be revealed to those who
do not know him already as a delightful kindly
writer when in reminiscent mood just as he is
trenchant when in argumentative discourse.

the melght by means of the controversy in
which the authorities of his State are engaged

into effect
On top of the Alabama disturbance is the an
nouncement that the governors of various States
in the West are planning for concerted action
against the railroad companies for violation Of
various laws and the railway managers are pre-
pairing TO meet this contemplated action. A few
more governors will be thrown into public notice
and more Presidential booms may be started
