Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE, April 9-Florence
Grant had narrow escape from be-
ing fatally injured yesterday while at
work in the Gambrill mills. While at
her loom her hair became caught IN
the machinery. She was thrown with
force to the ground and a bunch of
hair was torn from her head. The
girl was removed to her home at Har-
mony and Second streets.
The gold watch belonging to John F.
owens, taken from the boarding house
Of L. r. Hushebeck, was recovered in
a Wilmington pawn Office yesterday.
On Wednesday afternoon a we'll
dressed man applied for board at the
house saying he was here to take
machinery from the Lea flour mills.
Iie was shown to his room and told
Mrs. Hushebeck he would read for
awhile and then go to the postoffice
TO get registered letter containing
money so he could pay his board and
get his trunk from the station. Half
an hour later he was seen going down
Delaware street, and when Owens
came home he found his watch had
been stolen.

to see the boats coming in with 156
and 165 splendid shad The fishermen
who did not venture out were
chagrined but the feHers who braved
the hign wind were happy.
The Fourth ward Republicans have
endorsed William M. Cramer and Will
liap A. Matthias for City Council Tho
fight for president of Council will be
warm one. There are many people
in the city who believe men who wirh
to work out their taxes should be
given a chance to do so. Instead of
employing the same men continually
on street work these persons say
others should be given chance.
Presidents Of the different wards say
they should get the work in their
wards. The president of Council names
the chairman of the street. committee
and he has the power to put the men
at work.

of the trolley road here several years

BACK TO NATURE.

Back TO nature" Is q popular slo'
gan at present. and II needs to be
clearly understood before II is accept.
ed. II has been raised many times by
persons who meant by 1t return TO
something like savagery, and who,
finding vice In civilization. and espe'
cially In the cities, blamed cities aad
organized civilization for all vice. In
our time the phrase expresses part OF
an effort TO lead people to an outdoor
life, to encourage the settlement OF
farm regions and To raise the stand
ards of country living. There Is some
danger that In our enthusiasm we
come to regard cities as In themselves
evil institutions, necessarily favorable
to vice and Ill health. We need to re-
member that the city Is only form
OF human association for purposes OF
trade and exchange OF ideas. and that
some OF the most important contribu
tions TO civilized thought have been
made not In rural isolation. but In the
friction Of highly complex gathsr.nss
OF men. A writer In the London Times
recently pointed out that the ancient

THE USUAL TURMOIL IN EUROPE

Lord Rosebery. ex.premier, made a
grave. eloquent and alarmist speech to
a London congress OF journalists q
short time ago. The outlook In Eu
rope. he declared. was ominous and
even appalling. The preparations for
war everywhere were on a tremendous
scale, and little England was being
pressed hard TO defend her liberties AS
well as the liberties OF her colonies
across the seas. She would 60 on
building war ships as long as she had
shilling 10 spend, but would that be
enough? Would that avert the dan.
ger OF reaction? Europe Is "rattling
herself into barbarism." and the great
question Is how that calamity can be
avoided. There are few observers in
Europe who will indorse this dishear..
ening view OF the situation or outlook.
The frenzied naval competition spells
terrific waste. but II does not spell
champions OF big.navyism loudly dis.

protection OF commerce are every

war. France Is determined to keep

THE CRUISE or THE MISSiS'
SlPPI.

When the battleship Mississippi
steamed up the river Of the same
name to Matches recently. It was the
first time that q warship OF that size
had ever entered the river. A monitor
went much farther up the stream Q
few years ago. but the monitor Is q
small boat. The Mississippi Is o thir.
teen.thousand.ton vessel and draws
twenty-seven feet of water. As the
channel pilots have taken vessels Of
twenty.nine feet draft over the bar at
the mouth. they had no diflculty in
getting the battleship into the main
channel OF the stream. This channel
averages nifty feet deep for more than
three hundred miles from its mouth.
providing water enough to float the
biggest ships yet built. The reason
for the cruise OF the battleship was
to permit the people OF Mississippi to
see the warship named after their
State.
