CAN'T DISCARD
THE UMBRELLA
LOndOneTS Dispense With
Them, But Americans Get
In Out of the Wet

From England, that never-falling sourc,
of inspiration for that portion Of the com.
munity to whom personal adornment anc
the vagaries of fashion are matters OF
supreme importance. comes the latest fad
TO trouble those who exhibit such com
mendable energy in trying TO keep pace
with the aforesaid vagaries. II is this.
No matter how hard It rains, one must
not carry an umbrella.
1t may be uncomfortable, nay more, dan
lgerous, but it will be fashionable and.
after an, that is all that is necessary. Lest
anyone should doubt the authority Of this
edlct. let him read, mark. learn and in
wardly digest the following, received d.
rect from London:
"The umbrella dealers here complain O:
the decline ia their trade. which is consid-
erably less brisk than formerly. II is not
that the English climate has altered. but
many persons are ceasing to regard the
umbrella as the Indispensable vademe-
cum which las furnished caricaturists Of
less watery climates a striking feature Of
the equipment OF the average Brton.
Dealers ascribe the falling on in salos
partly to the increasing decay Of the cult
Of the high silk hat and the correspond
ingly growing use Of derbies. the cheap
ness and hardness of which, compared
with the topper. encourage their wear
ers to take weather risks Another spp-
posed cause is the growing customs OF
wearing rainproof overcoats.
Women also buy fewer umbrellas than
formerly. although they do not hesitate 20
go outdoors In their bright finery without
umbrellas They rely now upon tea shops,
omnibusses and the underground railways
as refugees jn case the weather betrays
their confidence"
Interviews with several well-known ieal-
ers fail to reveal any influence Of the lad
! IN this city. one dealer said:
There has been no diminution in the
demand for umbrellas that I have been
able to perceive In fact the Wilmington
ian who would have the hardihood TO lis
card them during the last six weeks would
be indeed a heroic follower OF fashion.
The silk hat Is used so little here that It's
abandonment could not effect any change"
And what OF the man on the street, the
Ordinary mortal who is the victim Of
the shopkeeper's whims and foreigners

plaintlvely:

solved is not ''shall take my umbreiiar'

READINGS EXPERIENCE.

R EADING, PA, is having trouble with its
~ councilnen The City Council and the
traction company have been together The trac-
ton company desired franchise to use streets
that have not yet been laid out, and the oblgng
councilmen voted to give them the privilege for
nothing. The mayor of Reading, however, was
of different calibre. He insisted that the COM
pany pay 10000 for the franchise. He had the
power and he won his point. Had there been a
different kind Of mayor of Reading the company
would have secured valuable franchise for not
even thank you. The mayor declined to sign
the ordinance unless the company made an agree

Gerber was insistent, and the company gracefully
yielded, They always do when they can find no
way to get out of it and have no State Senate

TAKAO NOT DAUNTED
Young japanese Inventor to
Try Diving Again.
IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL
Announces HIS Determination 10 Go
Down I'm His Apparatus Once More
Despite His Narrow Eseape-De-
EcrIbes Sensation Rs He Found
Water Cutting on supply OF Air.

Takao Iwanami is determined TO Try
again.
The plucky little japanese inventor is
not daunted by the fact that he nearly
lost his life Saturday afternoon in test
ing his diving apparatus of the United
States monitor Puritan.
Neither does he share the fears OF some
of his friends that he may not recover
from that experience.
His thoughts are not upon his present
sufferiags, but upon his plans for future
tests and exhibitions, by means Of which
he hopes to prove his invention a good
one. The spirit OF the old Samurai the
soldier and fighter heroes Of old Nippon,
is in the plucky little Jap, and physical
pains seem TO be the least worry that can
befall him.
Takao. who after the accident occurred
was taken TO the Naval Hospital, was
removed from there to the Providence in
stitution yesterday morning. His friends
have made all arrangements to obtain
for him everything that may bring about
a speedy recovery. His face and neck
are still swollen and discolored, but he
rests easier. and the hospital physici1ns
are OF the opinion that Takao viii re-
cover completely before long.

the conductor how far ahead some street

have me climb over him again so soon.
