A MAYOR I'M REvOLT.

M AYORS in many cities the Hon. ]. Har
4 vey Spruance among them, perhaps
will utter prayer of thanks when they hear that
the Hon Edward II. Lathrop, Mayor of Spring
field, Mass, has raised the standard of revolt and
protests against the generally accepted notion
that the Mayor OF a city is supposed to grace
every lecture and public occasion with his pres
ence and to introduce the speaker
1t seems that at a dinner Mayor Lathrop made
the Sensational utterance, as it is described,
that he would not appear on a Springfield stage
and introduce Commanded Peary, who is to lee
ture about the North Pole, about Cook, maybe.
The Mayor says that the common idea has
been that one of the functions of the Mayor is
to present every "side show that comes to
town 81 have been importuned,' says the May
or, to introduce everybody who has lectured
here and it's time to cut it out" The Mayor
adds that when the manager for Peary told him
that it was his duty to introduce the command
er. the Mayor decided that the limit had been
reached, especially as Peary was TO get $1,000
for the lecture.
Some may think that the Mayor might have
drawn the line at a different place, and he may
be suspected of having Cook proclivities, but
there is no doubt that many Mayors are bother
ed by appeals to introduce various folk. Here in
Wilmington, however we do not think the mat
ter has been overdone, but there is telling
frequent. Even the demands of Cupid are not
pressing on the Mayor. Eloping couples have
not disturbed him very much
There are, perhaps, many Mayors who hold the
same views the Springfield Mayor-and we
don't condemn them-but they have not found
a way in which to express themselves as the
Springfield Mavor has done

Editorial
I Opinion
Money and Disease.

New York Press.
DR.. Park, Of the Health Board long ago
called attention to the fact that the dirti-
ness OF paper money-dirtiness in the
sense Of greasiness. stains and general
raggedness-has no necessary relation to
It's infeotiousness. In other words that
relatively clean bill is quite as likely to
harbor dangerous germs as the worst tat
terdemalion in circulation.
It's true that the older bills have been
through more hands. and hence had more
opportunities of becoming infected They
are not, however. favorable breeding
grounds for germs. Dr. Park found paper
money similar to other paper and rags
capable Of carrying living tubercle and
diphtheria bacilli for some days or long
er"
In tho Popular Scieure Monthly "A.
Cressy Morrison. widely known few
years ago as "Clean Money Morrison"
rather summarily disposes Of an investi-
cation OF the infectiousness of money
made by a Mr.. Hilditch OF the Sheffield
Scientific School. A small number of bills
gathered about New Haven were subject
ed by Mr. IIilditch to careful bacteriologic
tests and no viruent organisms found
upon them. Most Of the bacteria detected
were common forms, none 6f them viru-
lent.
From the results OF his study and such
1 fpractical observations as the freedom of
paying tellers from any unusual liability
to infectious disease. he concluded that
tho transference Of infection by means of
paper money is not = serious cause of dis
ease. IIe took pains to point out the OBJ
vious fact that his experiments proved
nothing, and that in order TO make lab
oratory test of conclusive character, a
great number OF bills obtained from places
where they would certainly be subject IA

quite capable of carrying disease causing
organisms from person to person, there
is no proof that it does so to any con.

New Jersey State Home May
Introduce One With a
Leather Palm

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 1S.-An Off
cial spanker or disciplinarian in the
State Home for Girls, this city. is pro-
vided for in a bill to be introduced
In the New Jersey Legislature. The
managers Of the Home say corporal
punishment is absolutely necessary in
order to train the inmates properly
If the measure passes, the official
spanker will be a woman. She must
maintain certain hours at the institu-
ton daily, excepting Sunday. II has
been decided that there shall not be
any spanking on the Sabbath That
will give the girls one day of rest
The present officials at the Home do
not care to administer corporal pun
ishment. although they admit it is es-
sential to good discipline. Applica-
tions have been received from numer-
ops persons for the new berth, and
these bring up the question whether the
position will have TO come under the
jurisdiction Of the Civil Service Com
mission
One applicant for the spankership
was a man, said to be a prominent
merchant of Camden. Friends say on
his behalf that he supposed the span
ker was wanted at an institution for
boys.
Mrs. Henry Skies of Newark, in
writing for the job. said:

The fact that this city is known as a Gretna
Green is nothing TO its credit. At the last ses-
sion of the Legislature an effort was made to Sc
cure stricter marriage laws, but it failed Some
preachers and the magistrates make good
thing out of the present lax laws and that seems
to be the chief reason why they are not changed
A ''write-up' of the city as a Gretna Green shows
that Secretary Wigglesworth receives many in
quiries from anxious parents and other relatives
and the amount of misery that is entailed as a
result of the lax marriage laws of Delaware can
be imagined 1t is also said that our laws have
led to the use of bogus marriage certificates in
some instances, and perhaps to other things
quite as bad. Altogether the story Of how Viii
nington has been exploited in this manner
should arouse the next Legislature to take ac-
ton that would surround marriages in Delaware
with the same safeguards as exist in other states

The exhibition work from classes and individual pupils in the various departments of the school was tastefully arranged in the schoolrooms which were decorated prettily for the occasion.

Referee Calls a Halt.

Sam Iangford. the negro heavyweight,
of Boston, stopped Al Kubiak, the Mich
igan giant, in the second round of a sched-
uled ten round bout at the Paramount
Athletic Club last night. Kubiak had been
knocked down three times in rapid success
sion by heavy right swings to the jaw. He
was groegy and wabbling about the ring
in a. helpless condition when Billy job, the
referee. interfered and sent Lanford to his
corner.
There was marked contrast between
the men, Kubiak, six feet two inches in
height lowered head and shoulders over
his dusky foeman, and had fully forty
pounds advantage in weight, but beef aud
Drawn did not count against skill and
speed.
From the outset it was plain to all that
Kubiak was completely outclassed. Lang
ford boxed as calmly and deliberately as
though he were sparring with trainer
He timed his punches 10 a nicely and
landed where and when he pleased.
Kubiak. on the other hand, was wild and
overanxious, and managed 10 land only an
occasional blow.
A right hook split the skin over Kubiak' S
left eye in the first round and a few sec
onds later a similar blow knocked him
across the ring. This was the beginning Of
the end.
Young Ahearn and Kid Alberts boxed six
fast rounds to a draw in the semi-finai
bout.
