WHAT PUBLIC WANTS

CHAUTAUoUA. n. y. July 29.-"Just
what the public wants to get IN it's news
papers It gets" according 10 Dean Smaller
Mathews Of the University Of Chicago
divinity school, who answered some critics
Of the press IN a lecture on modern social
conditions at Chautauqua Assembly.
1.-THE rank and file OF editors and pub
fishers don't want TO do that which the
public doesn't want them 70 do said Mr.
Mathews. "On the other hand. they are
only too eager to do what the public
wants them to do. They print what their
readers want to see I'm print. The public
has IL all In its own hands.
"The only way to control the yellow
journals is to make them Improbable
Just as long as the public shows by it'
support that it wants them, just so Ions
will they exist. Just as long as IL pays
to run yellow journals they will be run
Again 1t is up to the public.
"Thc press shapes public opinion. but
let mo impress upon you that Il shape.
the popular mind more by IT'S headlines
than by its editorials. II I were offered
any position of influence I wanted on q
great newspaper, I should say: Let wh'
will write the editorials; l want to write
the headlines A papers greatest infiu
ence lies In the way Il handles the news.

for which the two steamers now in
service are inadequate
The Pusey and Jones Company has
a large force of men at work getting
out orders. and the number of un-
employed mechanics in Wilmington
has been reduced appreciably as the
result Of the work there. The Jack
son and Sharp plant has also its quote
of orders. and the carloads of workmer
that go to the plant every morning
make the vicinity of the plant as hustl.

when the cult of beauty has become a

practiced with much eNactitude.
The modern health craze works won-

the simple life." for temperance, and
for so-caled vegetarianism. Then the
Bushido doctrine. which halls from Ja-
pan, has now many disciples This in
stills the creed of calmness and teaches
that important things are too big for
anger and worry, and that anger and

We announce in this issue the
names of the men who will serve on
the city council for the next two
years. With the present mayor
and council made up of men who
have proven themselves worthy OF
confidence there is no reason to be-
lieve that our town affairs will not
be ably managed and conducted a
ong lines of economy and progress
iveness. If we are not greatly in
error our voters will not for min
u;e think of scratching a single name
on the ticket. Each AMI every one
of the men mentioned are in favor of
better road and street improvements,
a clean town, suppression of law
lessness. good sanitary arrange
m ,nts, efficient police protection
and the general advancement of the

The committee have now all the

ton will now have to come out and
tell what they know about certain
transactions or be handled for con-
tempt of court. The committee
have had many obstacles to sur
mount and overcome in the past.

to the matter with a bulldog te-

QUICK WORK.

A number of detectives were loung-
ing at headquarters awaiting assign
ments and swapping stories. All but
one had told OF some puzzling case
that he had solved and he was called
upon to help the party pass the time
Come, Billy" said one Of the
number: Don't sit there mum when
we're giving experiences. Tell us the
most difficult case you ever tackled"
You've all been giving that kind
OF cases. Suppose to vary the enter
tainment l give you tho easiest case
L ever tackled and you fellows guess
how ! solved it?"
That's good idea. Proceed"
1T was case of Identification, not
one to discover a criminal. though
solved that, too. afterward When [
was on the secret service force of the
town of Yardley telephone came
from farmhouse a dozen miles in
the country that the dead body of a
man had been discovered lying be-
side road so stripped and mutilat-
ed as to be unrecognizable. They
wanted police force sent out to at
tend to the matter. The captain told
me to take the patrol wagon and
man or two and drive out to the
place where the body lay. He charg-
ed me especially to find out the name
of the murdered man, since it is both
ersome for the police to keep a body
and it's bad policy to bury it with
out idegtifcation.
I'VE drove out to the farmhouse
from which the telephone was sent,
where l found Farmer Bowers, who
led me half mile down the road
and showed me the body. Whoever
had done the job had taken great
precaution to conceal tile identity of
his victim Why he did so afterward
gave me a clew by which | brought
him 10 the gallows. The outer cloth
ing had been taken off the body, and
there was not mark anywhere on
his undergarments A small bit of
material had been cut out at the bot
tom of the shirt bosom, where shirt
makers usually place the owners
initials. AS to the face, it had
been mutilated beyond recognition. /
looked for some defect on the body,
like mole or a birthmark, but there
was nothing of the kind. No dog
| whined beside his murdered master.
Indeed, there was no living thing
| about him.
| Il confess | was puzzled. The only
way l could see to find out who the
man was was to take the body to the
Iolice station, publish the facts and
wait Tor claimants. But this was not
| what the chief wanted. So | did a
| hard job of taking in surroundings
| and in fifteen minutes hit on an eX-
| pedient. Two hours and thirty min
utes after | arrived on the ground |
had brought the murdered mans son
from distance of fifty miles to his
fathers body, which he identified at
once beyond the slightest doubt
