PREDICTS BOOM
in WEDDINGS
Secretary WiegIeSwOrth Of
Board of Health Says
Number Will Increase

There win be a boom in the matri-
monial market after the middle Of this
month according to Secretary Wiggles-
worth OF the Board Of Health. whose
duty it is TO known a good deal about
these matters as he keeps the records
and has done so for several years.
Don't get the idea that Mr. Wiggles-
worth Is an authority: he doesn't Hct
uD to be. at least on matters pertaining
20 the heart. as the summer novel
might say. But ne has observed how
the number of marriages fuctua,c
about this season Of the year and he
predicts that IL is now about the time
for great boom TO take place.
Last week. il YOU read the papers,
YOU saw that there was some anxiety
regarding the whereabouts of Daniel
CuDid. some times called Dan though
that isn't the right name. IL was
stated that Il was feared that he had
gone on a strike or off TO Rehoboth
somewhere to spend a vacation. Well
the latter supposition is nearer correct
than one might suppose for Master
Cupid has been spending a good deal Of
time about the seashores this season;
and for that reason Mr. Wigglesworth
expects the boom that he has predicted
Probably our friend Dan was not all
of the time az Rehoboth; he may have
been at Atlantic City or anywhere
along the New Jersey coast, or where
ever two hearts-either in the moon
flight at the summer boardin ghouse or
in the parlor when the light is low, and
all the rest of that kind OF thing, you
know-wherever two hearts, let il be
repeated, were at any time during the
summer. beating as one. Lots Of en-
gagemepts were made then; lots and
lots and lots O engagements. Now will
come the natural consequences to those
who have dared 10 ask the girl to be
the boss of the household for the rest
Of her life; and for that reason, matri-
monial chances. along with wedding
bells. will be the principal affairs OF
the season.
This week the total number Of mar
riages has been twenty. Last week il
was sixteen. A year ago it was forty
eight. But in two weeks more Will
mington will commence TO get the
share Of the happy couples seeking
marriage licenses. Evedy indication
points to a great boom.

DEATH RATE IS
ON THE DECREASE

Fifty-five less deaths for the year up
to this time than for the same length
Of time a year ago. is a favorable de-
crease in the death rate for the city
of Wilmington. Though some weeks
during the summer the rate was great
er for a corresponding week in 1907,
the total number show that really not
so many people have died, despite the
excessive hot weather which in the
larger cities had the effect to swell the
death list to great size.
The number who died during the
week just ended is 90. and for the cor.
responding week year ago there were
21.
Now that the hot weather is prae-
tically over deaths among children will
be noticeably lower.
On the other hand the number Of
births for the week is way below the
uumber for this time q year ago. There

have the machinists charter taken away.

Union is to be held next Saturday night

To say that Fhilemma Chandler, can
didate for Comptroller for a second
term has done as much as any other
man TO make a good name for the Re
publican party in New Castle county
is stating the case modestly. It'is but
to pay a we'll earned compliment TO a
faithful public servant for results that
have beer attained during his tenure
Of Office both as a member Of the Levy
Court and as County Comptroller. His
present candidacy is based upon the
excellent record that has made in the
discharge of the duties that pertain
to the offices which he has held.
In 1900. when he entered the Levy
Court the county treasury was empty,
with eighty thousand dollars old bills
outstanding. During his administra-
tion the tax rate was lowered from 80
cents TO 30 cents" the first two new
county roads were built. the old out
standing bills were paid and at the
end of his term there were one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars in the
county treasury.
As comptroller he can point definitely
to four thousand dollars OF illegal
charges that have been saved to the
tax payers of the county Such a re-
cord should commend him to the
thoughtful voter as the logical candi-
date to add strength TO his party's
ticSet.--Adv
