tions as to the design of a building.
Il am an advocate of an entirely

it is desired to preserve the present
city hall because of its historical in
terest l certainly am IN favor of it, but
do not think il wise to attempt to
enlarge extensively the present city
hall in an effort TO meet the city's de-
mands. OF course, am not opposed
to some alterations that may be neces-
sary in the present hall which would
not mar its appearance, but rather than

be better for Wilmington to arrange

FUNERAL OF
DEAD MARINE
Solemn Requiem Mass CeIe-
bTated Over Remains Of

LOST HIS LIFE ON
WARSHIP GEORGIA

From the home of his mother. No.
HOS West Sixth street. this morning.
the funeral of William ]. Thatcher,
who was killed by the explosion on the
cruiser Georgia, took place at $50
O'Clock. and many sorrowing friends Of
the dead youth gathered in st. Pauls
r. c. Church. where the last rites for
the dead were said.
Solemn requiem mass was celebrated
by the Rev. Father Higgins, assisted
by Father Temple and Father Kelley.
the latter of Philadelphia.
The body of the dead marine reposed
in handsome oaken casket upon
which was massed many floral offer
ings of friends and relatives. 1t was
borne into the church by a detachment
of marines from League Island, ship
mates of the sailor-boy. The marine
pall-bearers were J. Turner, Chief
Water Tender; T. NJ. Johnson, Chief
Master Of Arms; L. Sanberg, Cher
Quartermaster; J. G. Rock, Chief
Turret Captain; John Robinson, Chief
Turret Captain; c. NJ. Billings. Chief
Gunner's Mate.
The sermon was preached by Father
Higgins. who took as his text, "Be Ye
Ready for Ye Know Not the Time Nor
the Hour Father Higgins during
his remarks said: I'VE come here not
to eulogize nor to judge. for judgment
belongs to God. We come here to pray
for the eternal repose Of the soul Of
the dead; one who fell i'm the cause Of
duty. His advancement was rapid
and therefore he must have been a
faithful servant to his country. We,
none Of us. know when the day nor
hour will come when we will be called.
God created us for a purpose, and
he who has no object in this life Is a
fool. God placed us here to enjoy life,
to enjoy Him. and TO enjoy the life
hereafter Death is with us all the
time. There is not a day that passes
but that we read in the papers Of some
whom we know passing away. There
is scarcely a day passes but that we
hear the toll of bell signifying that
some one has gone from us. We all
must pass away" Father Higgins
dwelt on the necessity Of leading life
whereby when the hour came one
would be prepared to meet it.

FOR DISCUSSION
Union Will Review Situation
at the Meeting
Tonight

The strike of the Union Plumbers
of the city will be discussed at the
regular meeting of the union tonight
The strike is now approaching its third
week with the men confident as ever
Of winning their fight. Thus far no
communication has been exchanged
between masters and men, and the for
mer declare there will be none sent by

assume aggressiveness until fall Just

order. Efforts viii be made to have
these men join the union that the strike
