half an hour.
In leaving the house It was necessary
TO force the machine across snow
covered fields in order to reach the

ROUTED WOMAN WHO
WAS WITH HER HUSBAND

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-There
was a drama enacted at the Walnut
Street Theatre yesterday that was not

nesses it thrilled the audience more

up David T. Jones, of Lansdowne, Pa,
an official of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. accompanied by Mrs. Josephine
Little, of 1921 North Fifteenth street,
took seats in the auditorium A few
seconds later Mrs. Jones followed to a
seat nearby She was accompanied by
woman detective. Mrs. Little wore a
handsome gown and a big bunch of
violets.
Suddenly Mr.. Jones was heard to cry
aloud. startled by the words, the
spectators turned IN their seats in time
to see a woman seize Mr.. Jones by the
coll,r of his coat and shout. you must
leave that woman and come with me-"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were in the lobby
of the theatre a few seconds later.
Mrs. Little managed to get out also.
That was the signal for battle, and a
number of persons declare that Mrs.
Jones rushed at Mrs. Little with flash =
ing eyes and gave her a blow on the
nose, and followed it up with a slap .,
the cheek. Mrs. Little ran into the
street. Her clothing was much ruff
fled. The violets were gone, 700.
Before the drama was fairly begun,
for it all happened quickly, Mrs. Jones
had her husband on a train in Broad
Street Station. She hurried him home
to their children.

CAR SERVICE
TO BE REDUCED
Wi minetOn City Railway t
Taxi SOM Cars OF All
tn Lines

It was announced today that strin
gency of the present times has cause
such a falling off in travel over tls
Wilmington City Railway that the CON
pany is confronted with the alternative
of reducing the wages of employees o.
curtailing the car service. It has been
decided 10 cut down the number OF
cars in operation rather than reduce
wages, and throughout the remainder
of the winter there will be from eight
to ten cars less in operation than there
have been. When conditions become
brisk again the company expects 10 re-
store the service as at present.
General Manager Hoff whLn asted
about the subject today said.
THE company has been forced 10
take this action by the falling off in
travel. For three months the receipts
have deer eased to such an extent that
tho directors had to consider either a
curtailing of car service or n reduc-
ton or the wages of employees. AS
the company has no desire to reduce
wages it has taken the alternative OF
reducing the number of in opera
ton. There will be eight or ten cars
taken off, affecting all the lines in the
city as equally as possible. The COM
pany will return to the old schedule as
soon as financial conditions and busi-
ness of the company warrant it."
The new schedule viii probably be
complete by tomorrow when it will bC

sIMPLs wAsH cuREs EczEMA
Itehlns. Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use Of Injurious Drugs.

Great investors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world in
the case of DR.. Decatur ID. Dennis, the
eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis. in his own Office practice,
discovered that pure vegetable oil Of
wintergreen, properly mixed with other
simple remedies was practically sure
specific for Eczema, psoriasis, BARRIERS
itch. salt rheum. and other itching skin
diseases But the oil Of wintergreen
alone was found ineffective. 1t required
other mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the VIM
tergreen. to produce the real eczema
cure.
This compounded d. ID. ID. Prescrip-
tion positively takes away the itch
at once-the instant IL is applied to
the skin. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs so long
used In an attempt to doctor the blood.
whereas modern science has determined
that eczema is first and all the time
& skin disease.
If you want to know more about the
merits Of d. ID. d. Prescription, call at

The Board of Assessment of Revis-
Ion will finish its three days work this
afternoon. The Wilmington members
of the board continued their revision
of the city assessment for county pur-
poses at the Court House this morning,
giving some attention to appeals, but

SCISSORS who win sit with the Levy
Court, in March, as a board of ap-

In accordance with the law creating
the board each member will receive 80

that the next Legislature will be asked
to extend the term of service of the

one week, it being impossible Cor them
to make a satisfactory review of the

provided for by the present law.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30-When

monial dinner to former State Treas

Saturday night William jennings
Bryan, it is said. will take advantage
of the occasion to push his own Presi-
dental nomination prospects. Next to
the guest of the evening Bryan will be
the center of interest. and his address
viii be a big feature.
In consequence of this, many leading
Democrats will remain away. among
them being Colonel Guffey Senator J.
k. P. Hall. w. F. Harrity and Profess
sor Woodrow Wilson.
The dinner at the Walton on Satur-
Gay night will be in honor of Mr. Berry,
and Bryan was invited as the chief
speaker. of the 422 acceptancs, many
are from New Jersey and Delaware
though New York. Rhode Island and
Connecticut will also be well repre-
scented. Pennsylvania will. Of course,
furnish the largest number.
Friends of Mr. Berry who say that he
has done more than any other member
of his party in recent years to re-
establish the standard of Democracy
in Pennsylvania, are thoroughly in
censed over the fact that Bryan and
United States Senator Gore. of Okla
homa. are to be brought TO the dinner
to overshadow the chief guest. They
say that Mr.. Berry deserves all the
honor that can be shown him by his
party for his work in unearthing the
Capitol scandal. and that he, and not
Mr.. Bryan, should be made the center
of attraction.
Charges have been made that the In
dependence Club members. which are
opposed to Colonel Guffey, have
brought Bryan here to embarrass the
Guffey leadership.
