ONLY TESTING
STREET LAMPS
Street Director Rudolph did
Some Exper.menting on
His Own Account

Actions of a man along West street,
between Eighth and Tenth streets, last
night attracted some attention. Ap-
preaching a street lamp he would pull
a paper out of his pocket and appar-
emily continue to read it. even after
he walked slowly along and out of the
pale of the lamp. He continued this
practice at each gas lamp he ap-
preached.
Between Eighth and Ninth on West
street he attracted the attention Of
Samuel w. McCaulley. who was sit
ting on the porch. Looking FOR a
number" Mr.. McCaulley inquired. but
the man replied that he wasn't.
Finally Daniel James came along and
recognized the man whose actions were
arousing interest.
He proved to be Charles A. Rudolph,
Street and Sewer director. who was
making some tests on his own accoun.
of the efficiency of gas lamps used
for street lighting purposes. Mr.
Rudolph tested the lamps on West
street between Eighth street and Della

FIX DAY FOR
SEEING DESIGNS
BattIeShip Committee to Meet
at Pyle Studio on FridaytO
Begin its Work

The seven designs of silver service
for the battleship Delaware, which
have been submitted by Wilmington
jewellers to the committee appointed to
select a service for the ship. were re-
moved from the Union National Bank
this morning 10 the art studio OF
Howard Pyle. The committee will
meet there on Friday to examine the
designs, and II is likely that ths con-
tract will be awarded next week.
When the committee meets 10 ex-
anime the designs it viii be without
information concerning the bidders.
Former Governor Lea received the
bids and designs last Thursday and
marked the latter for identification,
sending to the committee duplicats
bids and reserving the originals that
the committee might have no knowl-
edge of the bidders. This plan was
decided on in order that the designs.
rather than the bidders, should be
considered at the time the contract for
the service is awarded. It was also
agreed that should any one Of the
bidders be called before the committee
for any purpose all should be given
the same privilege.
Although contributions to the fund
for the purchase Of the gift have not
been coming IN as rapidly of late as
the committee had hoped. almost 5000
is in hand and there is every indica-
tion of the desired $4,000 being in hand
before the close OF the year.
