STREET AND SEWER
BOARD ROUTINE

Officials Of the Standard Arms Com
pany appeared before the Street and
Sewer Directors at their meeting this
morning and asked that the sewer
near their plant in South Wilmington,
be placed in operation. The company
is emptying its sewage onto the marsh
which they claim is detrimental to the
health of 100 men employed at the
plant.
1t is expected that the cost to place
the sewer in operation would be con-
siderable, as it is below the tide level
of the creek and the pumping ap-
paratus must be fitted up.
Engineer Taylor was instructed to
take up the matter with the COM
pany
J. 4. Ahrens. Of near Twenty-third
and Market streets, sent a letter to
the board complaining about the dust
and, general condition of Market street
in tRat vicinity. He stated that the
speedy autos raise a great dust. He
thinks some patented process should
be applied to the road.
Frank Plunkett made complaint
about the planting Of two electric
light poles on the Plunkett property
at Front and Market. The depart
ment win take up the matter with the
street paving committee.
A resolution directing that hereafter
all repairing for sewer trenches and
plumbing work Of all kinds be done
by the department and the department
be responsible, passed a second read
@ing.
A request was received from the
p, 3. and W. Railroad Company that
a gas lamp at Third and Railroad be
removed. It was claimed that it was
of little use. One of the commits
sioners stated that sometime ago the
company had wanted it removed he
cause the company desired to lay a
track there. The secretary was in
structed to notify the company that
the light was a public necessity.
The matter of paving Shipley street
between Ninth and Tenth was taken
up and it was decided to have the
paving done provided the Equitable
Guarantee and Trust Company would
agree to pay for the paving of the
street in front of the property. rhe
company will be communicated with
in reference to the matter.
Secretary Of the Board of Health
Joseph Wigglesworth appeared before
the board and asked that the OAK
street sewer be extended to Broome ta
accommodate four houses.

HEADS, I WIN; TAILS. YOU LOSE.

a N interesting and, perhaps, new problem
dealing with the relations between the
Public Service Corporations and the people has
developed in Philadelphia. Mr.. George II.
Earle, an eminent hnancier of that city, has been
appointed to represent the interests Of Philadel-
pha in the management of the Rapid Transit
Company. Formerly he was a director repre-
senting stockholders in the company lie is un-
derstood to be thoroughly in sympathy with the
present policy of the company-the increasing Of
fares BY a withdrawal Of the six-for-a-quarter
tickets. An argument in favor of the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Earle as the representative of the
city is that he is convinced that the interests of
the city and the stockholders of the company
are in every respect identical.
This seems TO us to be new idea which may
be noted by other communities that bother Pub
lie Service Corporations For example, the
Holly Oak people have been complaining of the
alleged inadequate service Of the trolley COM
pany Mr. Rigg, if impressed by the Phiadel-
phia idea, might appoint of his friends
former director Of the company, or one formerly
idenVhed with it, to be member of sort OF
Board of Complaints on the theory that the in-
terests OF the Holly Oakers and the company
arc identical. They really should be Identical
but they don't seem TO be. Mr.. Rigg could ap~
point a corporation man to represent the pa
irons and then ask them why they complain.
We imagine however that the Holly Oakers
would not think that such course would be
likely to result in giving them better ser
vice
I'm fact it occurs to us that great deal OF
politics is conducted along the line Of the new
political turn in Philadelphia although the rea-
SON has never been made clear. In Delaware
the public service corporations always watch 10
see whether they will have enough votes in the
State Senate to prevent legislation to which
they arc opposed. IT usually happens that the
public service corporations have considerably
more votes than they actually need It makes
no difference to them whether the Senators are
Republicans or Democrats. IF it is easier to
get a Democratic corporation man elected, so be
it, and the reverse
When the next election comes along and we
see the ticket dotted with corporation men such
candidates should have no fear They should
simply come boldly out and say, "Yes, il is true
that ] may be classed as a man who looks after
the interests of the corporations but 10 and be-
hold in matters OF legislation the interests Of
the people and the interests of the corporations
are The same. Therefore, vote for me and the
people will get what they want" The people
WILL il they follow this advice, get it "where the
chicken got the axe"
We have often heard It stated that the irter-
ests OF capital and labor are the same, but we
have never heard the theory so plausibly put
forth that the proper thing to do is to put a
corporation man on public service board to
represent the people because the interests Of the
two are the same

TROUBLES OF TRANSIT COMPANY.

II HE troubles Of The Philadelphia Rapid
4 Transit Company seem to be similar to
the difficulties that confront other public ser
vice corporations of a similar nature. The fixed
charges Of such companies are so high that
there is difficulty in meeting them. Some Of the
Philadelphia manipulators believe that the
withdrawal OF the ix-tckets-for-a-quarter priv
ilege will result in swelling the Golfers of the
company and pulling them out Of the financial
hole But this by no means follows.

CHILD ATE AN
ENTIRE BOX
OF CUTICURA
Spread on Some Crackers-Not the
Slightest Injury Resulted from
Little Fellows Escapade - In
Most Positive Way Ingredients Of
CUTICURA PROVEN PURE
SWEET AND HARMLESS

A New York friend Of Cuticura writes
the following interesting letter:
MY three year old son and heir,
after being put TO bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box Of graham
crackers and box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment.
when a search was made for the
box, II was found empty and the kid
admitted that he had eaten the con-
tents Of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him Of a bad cold
and l don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence than
the above could be offered that every
ingredient OF Cuticura Ointment Is alb
Eolutely pure, sweet and harmless. IL
IL may be safely eaten by q young child,
none but the most beneficial results can
be expected to attend It's application to
even the tenderest skin or youngest
infant. This feeling is shared by
mothers and nurses TO such an extent
that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment have for many years been unhesi-
tatingly used throughout the civilized
world for preserving, purifying and
beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and
hands Of infants and children from the
hour Of birth. And greater still, II
possible, Is the confidence reposod in
Cuticura Remedies for the treatment OF
torturing and disfguring humors OF the
skin and scalp. The suffering which
they have thus alleviated among the
young and the comfort they have az
forded worn-out and worried parents
have led 70 their adoption in countless
homes as priceless agents in the speedy,
permanent, safe and economical treat
ment Of infantile and birth humors, eo-
zemas, rashes, irritations, infamma-
tionH and chafings, and other itching,
scaly and pimply hunnors when all other
remedies suitable for children fail.
cuticura Remedies are sold throughout the world.

Department of Police is now officially at home,
there is with which the police officials
themselves better pleased than the facili-
ties afforded for the examination and observa-
tion of prisoners With this idea uppermost in
its planning. the new building has been made
that from the moment prisoner enters until
he leaves it he will never be seen in any of the
public corridors
In short. the new headquarters in reality

Of the public building surrounding it, stand the

fly and the product Of years of experience in the
handling of criminals.
There are two ways in which prisoners may
be taken into the new building One of these is
by way of the old-fashioned BLACK Maria
police van, u the Centre Market Place side and
thence direct to the detective bureau and
"stand-up' room or Rogues Gallery, which,
with the homicide bureau and one two auxil-
fairy bureaus, occupy the entire southern portion
OF the first lOOl Of the building at the right of
the main entrance. Just off the homicide bureau
and "stand-up" room is a blind passage leading

and from this floor the prisoner may be taken
BY elevator TO the photograph gallery, on the
fifth floor to be "mugged.' to the room set apart
for measurements under the Bertillon system

floors.
He may be bathed and attended by surgeons il
