AMONG
THE TROLLEY MEN
Further Efforts Made to Or
galize Wilmington Railway
Employees FOreStaIIed
TRAILED THE ORGANIZER

Not relaxing the rigid scrutiny of
every suspicious move Of their en-
ployes and giving evidence that the
observation of the movements Of the
agents Of the AmalRamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Employees
Is not less searching. the Wilmington
City Railway Company last night fore
stalled what was TO have been a con-
ference of some of the motormen and
conductors with Patrick ]. Shea, of
Philadelphia, president Of the associa-
tion. who has been Instrumental in
organizing the trolley men of Chester
and bringing about the present strike.
That the company is taking every
possible precaution TO prevent in this
CITY such a situation as confronts the
Chester Traction Company and that It
realizes that the local carmen are in
a highly doubtful attitude is amply
evident in its tactics Not only is the
company guarding against any pos
sible trouble that may come from this
city. but It has extended it's survey
of its enemies to Chester itself. Mr..
Shea came to this city last night, pre-
ceded by the announcement that lie
would meet with the local men and ex-
pecting the time to be ripe for action
here. AS a matter of fact, the COM
pany knew of Shea's determination 70
come to Wilmington and knew that 4
meeting had been arranged several
hours before his arrival. Accordingly,
when the organizer stepped of a Balti.
more and Ohio train last night he was
practically met by an official of tho
company. All efforts to confer with
the men Shea found futile. Knowing
that he was under the scrutiny of the
officials of the company. the men gave
him no opportunity to speak to them.
and he left this morning shortly after
1 o'clock. not having been able to evade
the attention Of one Of the company's
agents who followed him during his
visit and trailed him almost to the
steps of the train.
In the meanwhile D. S. Fitzgerald,
a member Of the executive board of the
Amalgaunated Association Of Street and
Eelctric Employees, left word at the
hotel that he has left the city for
Maryland and the field here is ap-
parently now unoccupied by agents Of
the association.
Outwardly, the men here give no in
dication of trouble. IL is evident, how
ever, that many Of them do not con-
ceal their sympathy for the Chester
men. representative employe said
this morning, Il don't think anything
will come Of this. Most of the men
here are willing to make a protest
against the reduction, but they wait
for their neighbor to take the lead. We
young fellows are waiting for the old
er men to act, and as they show no
disposition to do any thing, Wen proc
ably go along as we are"
Although the company has given no
formal notice to the men that they
are not to organize, they have been
given to understand that they are ex-
pected to stand by the company until
conditions warrant the restoration Of
the old wage scale" This has
been taken by the men as an edict
against their organizing
A committee of local trolley employees
went to Chester during the week and
conferred with the strikers there.

SWAN IN COLD
RIVER TO GET HAT

John MCGOWAN. a painter employed
at the Pennsylvania Railroad shops,
is the man who plunged into the
Christiana river on Saturday night last
to recover his hat that had blown over
board while he was crossing Market

1t was cold and blustery at the time
and McGowan instead Of leaping from
the bridge ran along Guthrie's Road to
a point on the south side of the Chris
tiana. opposite the Pusey and Jones
plant. There he stripped of his cloth
ing. waded out in the mud, as it was
low tide at the time. and then swan
into the middle Of the river
Catching his recreant hat he put IL on
his head. swan back to the shore and
donned his clothing agsnn. He Is none
the worse for his cold plunge.

HOW TO BRING
UP YOUR GIRLS.

! Now, department is all a matter OF
up of some girls 1t is utterly neglected;
they are never taught to hold them
selves properly, and as they get older
they deteriorate In this particular to a
dreadful degree.
Some women at 35 look 30 and more,
simply from the ungainliness of their
department, and the way in which they
have allowed their figures to, as it
| were, run to seed.
They have neglected to throw back
their shoulders so as to preserve the
fairness of their backs; they have neg
lected the selection of a suitable make
OF corset; they have neglected the ex-
ercise which would make them agile
and keep them supple.
The consequence is that they grow
stiff OF limb, heavy of movement and
unwieldly of figure long before they
ought.
In some cases, of course. advice Is
s~uperhuous, and perhaps impertinent
We have all a right to do what we like
with our own, and if we prefer to look
old before our time there is nc law to
hinder us from doing SO.
Those, however, who think otherwise,
and who consider it worth while to
make the best of themselves as long as
they can, should remember that in this
particular the figure is as important
as the face, and that if we wish IL
Keep looking young we must of al
things not neglect to attend to our
department.

tates a second row of stitching or hand
hemming which must show on the right
side. This finish is used on mems
shirts and is especially good for the
yokes and seams of infants dresses.
To make the felled seam allow a three
eighths of an inch hem and stitch in the
usual manner, turning the raw edges
this time toward the inside of the gar
ment. Now trim off n edge. leaving
only enough cloth to keep the seam
from pulling out. 1t should extend
about an eighth of an inch beyond the
stitching. The other edge, which is
wider, is turned under and hemmed
down fiat to the goods, covering the
narrow, raw edge. The hemming may
be done by hand or on the machine.
With skill this last step al be done
on the machine with the narrow hem
mer, and thus save the work of folding
the hem by hand.

HoU to Make
the Home More
AttractiUe

To Keep Servants-Give your maid
as good wages as you can; pay
her regularly, or give her reasons
why she should wait. Do not ex-
pect her to be a mind-reader, but
tell just what you want done. Give her
as pleasant room as possible, and let
her have time to keep it in order. Do
mot talk as IL your own way was the
only right way to do things. Never
allow the children to treat her with
disrespect or make her unnecessary
work. Never reprimand her before
children or strangers. Always say
good morning and good night" AL
ways say "please" and thank YOU
when you ask her to do anything for
you, and insist upon the children doing
the same. A command given in an
abrupt, disagreeable tone will often
make her angry and unhappy. If you
like her, tell her so sometimes. If she
is cross or irritable, be patient with
her. She may be suffering acutely,
mentally OF physically.
It is singular that women do not
more often adopt the method used by
shopkeepers for cleaning and polishing
WINDOWS. II ~ especially NdiudDit uuI-
ing cold weather when it is not prac-
ticable to use cold water outside. Take
alcohol and whiting; wood alcohol will
answer every purpose, and is much less
expensive. Dampen the cloth, but do
not wet 1t, with the alcohol; then dip
1t into the whiting, and rub the glass
as you would if using soap and water.
Polish with channels. Windows polished
in this way will shine and keep clean
longer than with the old method of
washing, rinsing, wiping and polishing.
Doorplates and all brass and nickle-
ware may be made like new if cleaned
by rubbing a cloth wet in ammonia and
water.
If the napkins have become stained
with peaches, pour boiling water on
them, rub hard and let stand a few
hours, then, if the stain remains, sponge
with spirits of t%urpentine until re-
moved.
Decorating with a Shawl-A pleasing
effect was achieved in the decoration
of a MUSHROOM recently, on h occa-
sion of a wedding, by the use of an
India shawl. 1t was a large and fine
one, with a pink centre This was
spread over the grand piano, and on
the pink centr stood a pink jardiniere
filed with apple blossoms. AT the side
of the piano, in "a tall Chinese jar OF
pale pink and green, were massed some
blooms of dogwood and apple blossoms
mingled.
