Thomas r. Mechem who is advocat-
ing the holding Of a public meeting to
organize Democrats who advocate tho
candidacy Of william Jennings Bryan

Delaware admirers Of Mr.. Bryan to a

While discussing the subject today
Mr.. Mechem said:
"The Bryan League Of Delaware viii
be organized for the purpose of fur
thering the candidacy Of Bryan for the
Democratic nomination for president
It is purposed to present a concen-
trated action in Delaware to have the
delegates elected from this State &c
vote for Bryan after the name of Judge
Gray has been presented and a COM
plimentary vote cast for him. While
the people who usually furnish the
campaign funds may be for Judge
Gray, in Delaware the people who fur

MAY IMPROVE
LITTLE CREEK
Business Mems Association of
Dover Petition the War
Department
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. April 22.-rhe Board
Of Trade, or the new business mems
Organization OF Dover. has unanimous
ly pettioned the War Department.
through the United states engineers
Office, for the favorable action of the
department on the proposed recognl-
tion and Improvement OF Little River
The substance of the interesting let
ter prepared for the government de-
partment officers is as follows;
We, the undersigned. members OF the
Business Mems Mercantile Association
OF Dover, Delaware, earnestly hope
that your Board OF Engineers will ap-
prove OF and report In favor 90 d1edg-
ing out Little river and opening the
same TO navigation.
We supply Dover and the country
adjacent with all store supplies. These
are brought to us mainly by rail. and
at a high freight rate.
The opening of Little river would en-
able us to receive a large portion Of
this freight by water and save us an
outlay Of many thousands OF dollars.
We sell annually In Dover nearly
$4,000 tons OF coal.
We are paying railroad freights Of
$3.50 to s245 per ton.
During the past winterthe Phila-
delphia and Dover Navigation Com
lpany was able TO deliver. by way OF
ST. Jones river 1897 tons of the coal
consumed In Dover. and at a price "a
the consumer OF so cents less per ton
than coal from the railroad
The town OF Dover uses in it's light
and water plant 1000 tons OF coal a
year. This Is supplied by rail at a
freight rate OF $2.45 per ton, because
tho water facilities for transportation
are inadequate.
Beside importing the various sup
plies, including foodstuffs, clothing, ag-
lricultural implements, kUdware. phos-
lphates, lime, coal, lumber, etc, We ex-
port canned goods. live stock chick
ems. eggs, fruits, vegetables and grain
A navigable stream at Little River
would place us within three miles Of a
shipping point over a good road.
We could then reach at reduced
lfreights the markets of Delaware City
New Castle, Marcus Hook, Chester
Wilmington. Philadelphia and Camden
N. j., also the towns OF New Jerse,
east of US.
With thoso New Jersey towns we ar'
now doing some business In grain, anS
from them we receive higher prices
than we get for grain delivered fol
shipment at the railroad.
This higher price paid us by the New
Jersey consumers is the difference IN
freight charges
All middle New Jersey on the Della
ware bay side win be opened TO Dove
trade with Little river made navigable
The Mercantile Association of Dove
feels that It can. with Little rive
opened for navigation, assure the com
immunity It supplies and trades wit
a better service at lower prices.
And that in proportion 20 the cheap
ness Of living Dover will be a desirabl
town for homes.
And that the competition I'm freigh
charges made by opening Little rive
would directly and greatly benefit on
. town
We. therefore. earnestly pray You
honorable board TO give this matte
lyour careful consideration, and. II n
your judgment possible, open for III
this Little river.

Ruehlna Again the Fashion.

Ruching has come back into popu-
larity, and all of the new collars are
finished at The top with a little band
of malines or chiffon. 1t is even used
on a high fitted lace collar or on a
collar Of the summer gulmpes. 1t is a
very attractive fashion, which tends to
preserve neatness and cleanliness in
the attire, but it is also very tiresome
to always have to change the ruchings
every time a dress Is worn. Therefore
It is a very good scheme, instead of
sewing it on the collar. to fasten 1t
around the neck alone, and then when
the collar is put on It locks as though
It were sewn tightly TO It.
Another way, when the bones are
not used. is to baste the ruching to a
piece Of betting which is pinned around
the neck. Put the collar over this,
fasten to the betting with a small pin,
both front and back, and the collar
will stay in place and be perfectly sat
isfactory.

Handkerohisfs Easily Made at Very
Little Expense.

dandkerchiefs Easily Made at Very
Little Expense.
The special things that girls do not
seem able to keep are handkerchiefs.
No matter how many dozens mothers
may supply, there is always a hue and
cry for more.
1t is all very well when they are COM
mon ones for school, but It is an en-
tirely different matter when It comes
to lace and embroidery, and many a
time girl slips an elaborate one quiet
ly out of her parents drawer to make
a good impression at dancing school
or the matinee.
Handkerchiefs can easily be made at
very little expense. and, though 1t is
quite a little trouble, It is dainty work
that can be picked up at odd moments.
Cut out a square of fine linen the de-
sired size, hemstltch It on all sides,
then whip narrow lace around it and
embroider an initial in one corner.
Very attractive ones are made on the
same order, only out of colored mate
rial. Delicate blue and pink ones to
match the hair ribbon or dress are
most effective.
At French sale not long ago there
were some very pretty handkerchiefs
made Of lilac lawn. hemstitched and
surrounded by lace. All over the sur
face, about an inch and a half apart,
were embroidered violets of a darker
shade, with yellow centers. This can
easily be copied by any girl who Is
skillful with the needle. The outline
OF the flower can easily be attained
from an Easter card or cheap print.
With the aid OF a piece Of tracing pa
per and a ruler for measurements one
can cover the material in a few min
utes with as many violets as wanted
A very useful article In these days,
when pockets are things Of the past,
is the glove handkerchief. which when
folded is small enough to slip into the
opening above the buttons. This ar
ticle must be but five inches square
and made of the finest goods, so as to
.ake up the least space possible.
