Why. The Idea.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
What folly Is It for the Wilmington
Board Of Trade to take up the matter
OF unreasonable service on the railway
lines traversing the city. How fraught
with direful possibilities for the city
such a discussion would be. How fort
innate for the welfare of the commun-
ity that there were present such valiant
champions for fair play as A. S. Reed,
o. 1. Purdy and Sewer Commissioner
Sparks. And how gratifying it is to
know that the whole matter is now in
the hands of the navigation and trans
portation committee. 1t was an out
rage TO find fault with the railway
companies. II will give the men who
own the city railway companies, who
do not live in Wilmington, a poor idea
of the intelligence and common sense
OF the people OF this community.
A. S. Reed was right, It is bad adj
vertisement for the city The railway
companies no doubt are doing the best
they can. Things are always happen
ing to railway companies, the same as
TO ordinary individuals. Last year and

He was sensitive to the touch of
faith. Multitudes jostled against Him.
To ask, 'who touched Me?" seemed
like a strange question. Peter said,

But as soon as this woman touched

virtue had gone out OF Him. The link
that conducted the virtue to her body

the same altar. but one trustful soul

from which she suffered rendered her
.ceremOnially unclean. Besides, a dense
crowd rendered her access to Christ
most difficult. But she pressed through
every obstacle.
If we would receive spiritual heal
ing from Christ we must be persistent.
We also learn the duty Of confession.

stealthily crept up behind Christ. But

ANOTHER SUGGESTION
FOR BISHOP OF DELAWARE
Lstter in rhe Mornina News.

To the Editor Of The Morning News.
Sir: Now that the time for electing
successor to the late beloved Bishop
Coleman is approaching l notice a re-
port that the new bishop will probably
be chosen from some diocese other than
Delaware. In fact during the discus
sion Of a new bishop there has been
mention of various eminent clergymen
who now occupy pulplts in other
states. 1t is not therefore, improbable
that the new bishop will be called from
beyond the diocese. In this event
there are no doubt many learned men
in the church who could fill the ex-
allied position with dignity and honor
In tact there are some sons Of Della
ware now In the service OF the church
In other dioceses who would be well
qualified for the position made vacant
by the death Of Bishop Coleman.
And in this connection 1t occurs to
me that native of this town would be
a most suitable person for bishop Of
Delaware. 1 refer to the Rev. Alexan-
der G. Cummins, now rector of Christ
Church, Poughkeepsie. N. Y. Mr.. Cum
minis is a graduate or Swarthmore Col
lege and of the General Seminary of
New York and has had a remarkably
successful career In his vocation. Christ
Church, Poughkeepsie, is one Of the
largest parishes in New York State,
having I believe, more than 500 COM
municants, and is therefore, larger
than any parish in Delaware. Mr..
Cummins has been rector of the parish
for some years. He is young-about
40 years Of aggressive, of sound
churchmanship and learning broad in
his views and very popular with an
who are fortunate enough to enjoy his
acquaintance. He knows Delaware and
the Church of Delaware, and through
his fundamentally the parish Of this
town received one Of the finest gifts
that any Delaware parish has ever re-
celved.
He has succeeded in interesting men
outside of the diocese and Of other de-
nominations in the work Of this do
cese. He was made priest by the late
Bishop Coleman, studied theology under
the lamented bishops direction, and
was held in the highest esteem by the
bishop
hope that the name Of this devoted
servant of the Church and son Of Della
ware who has the fire Of youth and
the discretion that comes with older
age, will be seriously and prayerfully
considered when the election Of a
bishop takes place. Yours truly,
,Churchman.

What 1t Means to Be Shut Up on a
Farm.

In the November American Magazine
a farmer who lives west OF Dodge City,
Kansas, writes about the trials of life
in tho country. 1t is a serious letter,
well worth the attention of President

vestigate the life Of farmers:

seen our history repeated, time after

CURTIS AND
MORSE SPLIT
Formal Breach Between Two
Defendants
OBJECTION TO CURTIS
Testimony by Litlefeld-No Letter Re-
eeived, Says Morse's Attorney
Plea to Judge Hough, However,
Is Declared overruled.
OBJECTION TO CURTIS

New York, Oct. Boa. II. Curtis, ex.
president OF the National Bank of North
America, had an intermittent memory
all through his eross-examination yes
terday in the criminal branch OF the
United States court where he and
Charles W. Morse are on trial befors
Judge Hough. The memory was good
when a question gave him an opportun-
ity TO say that Morse and not Curtis
did this or that irregular thing. 1t was
bad when the district attorney tried TO
pin him down 70 something in the way
Of personal responsibility. When juror
asked Curtis If the notes which Morse
had signed and given to the bank per-
mitted the bank security from his special
security deposits, the witness replied,
Eyes, all the notes he signed were cut
throat notes. The bank could grab ev-
erythng in sight. collateral. special de-
posits and securities held for safe.keep-
ing, everything the bank could lay its
hands on" Ex-Judge 0lcott, counsel for
Curtis, then read the blank form OF a
ut.throat" note TO show the jury how
comprehensive such an instrument was.
Although nominally they are being
tried together under the same indict-
ment, according to the rules OF the
United States court, Morse and Curtis
are in fact having their cases conducted
as Independently of each other as ii they
were in different courts, or what is more

things, as IL one was a defendant and
the other a complaining witness for a
while, with the understanding that they
would change places before the summing
up, so that each might have an oppor-
tunity to blame te other for the down
fall of the National Bank of North
America Curtis ss.examination by
United States District Attorney Stimson
was taken up yesterday and as soon as
the prosecutor is through with the de-
PENDANT witness, ex.Judge 0leott, Cur
It's personal counsel, will call his char
acter witnesses to tell how many years
they have known the ex.president of
the Bank of North America and what
good opinion they have always had of
his integrity and prudence in banking
affairs.
How about Morse?" was asked yes
terday morning when this program was
announced "Why shouldn't he come
newt instead Of this hurry call for char
acter witnesses for Curtisi" Morse will
have his opportunity on the witness
stand later. His counsel, Wallace Mac
Farlane, has already minated that his
defense will be that he was so absorbed
in great financial undertaking. that he
knew nothing about the petty routine
details of over-certifcation and other
matters which form the basis for the
counts against the two men.
And Curtis has said that he knew moth
ing about those things because he trusted
implicitly in the great "sagacity and
resourcefulness of Mr.. Morse"
