NEED FUNDS FOR
SANATORIUM

The New Castle county members Of the
State tuberculosis Commission held their
first meeting yesterday Afternoon. App,i-
cations Of four patients for admission to
the sanatorium were considered. Since the
commission as yet has no place to send
patients, and as it has been decided to
have all applications Investigated by the
dispensary nurse, the applications were
referred to her for report
There are accommodations for nine pa
tents at the sanatorium, while there is
a long list Of applications The New Cas-
tie county members will seek the cooper
alton of the Board Of Education in hav-
ing public schools opened for lectures on
tuberculosis. Dr. A. Robin has prepared
an illustrated lecture on the subject at the
request Of the Red Cross.
The anti-tuberculosis society will meet
next week to consider plans for a bui'd-
ing to be donated by the Hebrew Char ty
Association.
Miss Emily p. Bissell. president Of the
Delaware Anu-Tuberculosis Society. cor
rects report that the proposed sanator-
ium at Brandywine Springs would be
ready for occupancy within two weeks.
She says:
GAS a matter of fact. the sanitorium
cannot be built at all until money is
raised for IT, All that will be ready for
occupancy will be the old shacks, holding
about nine patients. which are being re-
moved from the old site In Brandywine
hundred, and transferred to the new They
win not begin to give tho accommoda-
ton necessary for the patients now de-
string admiitanee But they are little
better than nothing at all.
1T will take more than $1,000 to put in
the drainage and water systematic first
step toward the new sanitorium; 5000
more will be required for an administra-
tion building; $4,000 for an inhrmary for
advanced cases; S7.40O more to pay for
the farm itself. Not one cent Of the state
appropriation can be used for any Of these
purposes.
1--WE believe that Delaware generosity
Is going to respond to the terrible need
of our consumptives. and that within
a year we shall be able to build adequate
shelter for them. But at present the old
shacks are all we have"

The Union Veterans have determined to
erect a monument to General Smyth who fell
during one of the closing fights of the Civil
War The veterans have been working for
the project but their efforts have not met with
the success that they ought to meet with. But
the veterans are not discouraged They intend
to keep at it and they know that it will only
be a question of time before the funds neces-
sary for a suitable monument will be secured.
Memorial Day appropriately will be a tag day
for the Smyth monument fund, and we believe
that the veterans will reap substantial harvest.
A city that spends thousands of dollars one day
for a circus ought to be able to give up cred
liable sum for the Smyth monument Help the

POPULAR AUTHORS AT
THE FREE LIBRARY.

Two deaths OF recent occurrence in the
ranks Of we'll known literary men have
caused almost CONSERVATION to those
who are fond of good literature. The
passing away of r. Marion, Crawford
and George Meredith has taken from us
two men whose readers have been num-
bered by the thousands and whose work
will be read for many years TO come.
F. Marion Crawford is acknowledged
to stand without a peer as a story tel
Ter. Beginning twenty years OF more
ago with Mr.. Isaacs, a story of life In
India, his fame has increased with each
year. He was a prolific writer. Not a
year passed without at least one novel
and sometimes two from his pen. Mr..
Crawford was an American and charac-
ters Of Americans appear in many Of his
stories although the scenes Of most OF
them are laid in European countries. For
years before his death he made his
home in Italy. and it must be confessed
that his stories dealing with Italian life
are much the best. The novels known
as the saracinesca series show clearly
his intimate knowledge Of italian 60
ciety and are generally considered to
be the best Of his work. All OF his books
NAV be found on the shelves Of the
Free Library and there are sufficient
number Of copies TO supply any demand.
While perhaps George Meredith did
not have so large an audience as did
Marion Crawford. he still was loved by
many and is recognized as one Of the
great masters Of English literature. II
has been several years since any work
has come from his pen, yet his fam'
has increased with each year His books
on the shelves Of the Free Library are

Evidently the Democratic city ticket does not
suit some Democrats. The forces that bawled
so strenuously for DIR. Paynter last autumn
have assumed an almost lamb like quietness and
content themselves with conjuring up things
about the Republican organization" The last
definitely heard of the Republican organization,
from these sources, was that it was plotting to
prevent the reelection of DR.. Howell, as pres
ident Of the Board of Health. It happened that
at the time the organization, according to these
fancies. was plotting the doctor had been re-
elected And so we should not place much

A newspaper Of the state capital promises an
interesting story which may have some bearing
on the lightbourne case. 1t seems that two
ministers were conversing while travelling on
Delaware railroad train the other day. A stem
oprapher sat near and took down the converse
ton OF the preachers The preachers did not
know that the stenographer was near. The Do
yer paper which has a typewriter copy OF the
spoken words says that it may publish the con-
versation which would convict the preachers of
conduct unbecoming consecrated ministers of
the gospel No doubt the language was
warm and no doubt there is always a lively
interest in what two preachers might say to
each other under the circumstances, but we
doubt whether an caves dropping method of OBJ
tanning such information to be made public
would be applauded. But the interesting point
Is. Who are the two ministers? Some of the min
isters will be kept on the anxious bench for
while-that is, if they think the Dover paper
will publish the conversation.
