The anger of the residents was
aroused to the last point on Friday
and Saturday. when several of the
magnificent Norway naples on the lot
of the McCabe Memorial Church We're
hacked with hatchets by unknown per-
sons More than so beautiful trees in
the Boulevard section also have been
ruined in this manner The anger
aroused by these depdedatons can be
appreciated only by those who have
seen with what pride the Boulevarders
have cared for these trees. The trees
have been the principal agent in maxi

tractive part Of the city, and the vans

in the knowledge that they could not
hurt them more in any other man.

The hacking Of the trees does not

Of the trees so attacked will die this

balanced person seems the most rea-
sonable explanation.

for suspicious characters in the neigh

Hoods are worn only when going u

Some women have taken TO them most
kindly and will Immediately doff most
hats and put on hoods on boarding a

FOREST fires
CAUSE A Haze

wnmngtonians looked outdoors yester-
dav on q hazy. smoky kind of an atmos-
nbere The haze was believed by many to
be due to the big forest fires in Michi-
gan and the Northwest and not to threat
ening rain.
And as the day began so it continued
ana so ended. From dawn until night the
warm weather was accompanied by the
persistent haze. and when the sun man
aged to steal through, Its pale rays were
more like those of a March morning in
foggy London, than a September day In
Wilmington.
The forest fires, however. were not alone
responsible. During Saturday night
dense fog crept in from the sea- and,
although by morning this had cleared
away, enough to allow the usual naviga-
ton of river and harbor 1t stin clung
cl8sely to the Delaware capes and extend

QUEENS AND BULLFTGHTING
Victoria of Spain Hopes to Win Even
If Others Did Fail.

Queen Victoria OF Spain is, It is said
anxious TO abolish in her country the
enormities Of bullhghting; she has
hitherto consented to attend at this
favorite national sport, but the last
time she went, shortly before Don
Jaime's birth. what she witnessed filled
her with horror and grief.
SO she has caused TO be revived the
memory Of the fact that he great Queen
Isabella, when she returned from con-
quering the Moors, declared that It
was her wish 10 abolish 5ullhghting as
a cruel sport which. she asserted. had
been introduced by the Papnim Moors
and which was unworthy Of a Chris
tian race.
II the Spaniards Of to-day are re-
minded that the Queen whose memory
they adore was only prevented by her
death from putting down the cruel
sport IT is hoped that they may allow
their present Queen to make II at least
questionable for ladies to attend on
such sights.
Queen Christiana tried to do so in
the early days Of her rule as widowed
Regent. says the London Illustrated
News. but she had so much else to
contend with that she had TO abandon
this unpopular reform.
It semed impossible not long ago
for duelling ever TO be abolished as a
means of settling personal disputes
and wiping out insults among gentle
men, but Queen Victoria achieved Il.
/ Acting through her husband. she so ar
ranged that duelling should never
again be resorted TO by men In the
army to end their duarrels or to defend
their own honor, and this was speedily
accepted as possible and right in civil
life too.
