SPECIAL COMMITTEE
OF COUNCIL MEETS

The committee recently appointed
by Council to investigate the expenses
OF the Light and Water Departments
and consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF leas-
ing same for term OF years, met last
evening and went over the accounts.
From present indications, the Depart
ments will show a loss for some years.
The detailed report OF the committee
will not be made for some weeks. 1t
is matter of great deal of trouble
to go over the accounts and get the
statements of these departments sep
arate from the other finances. Some
interesting facts will likely be present.
ed it is the intentions OF the Com
mittee to make the study exhaustive
and find out the exact standing Of
these two departments.

OBITUARY
CHARLES S. DEMPSEY.

Charles S. Dempsey, who has been
employed as day operator at the F.,
B. & w. r. r. station. for the past
ten years, died at his home on Della
ware avenue ON Wednesday evening,
December 14th; he had been in ap-
parent good health up to within three
weeks of his death. His many rail
road friends were shocked and grieved
at the announcement OF his death. His
reputation as a book operator over
the Maryland division, was one OF the
best. His adaptability to circumstance
as they arose, and his good nature,
genislity and keen wit made him a
General favor;te.
When he was boy, eleven years OF
age, attending school in Philadelphia
one on the teachers sent him on an
errand, which necessitated his cross

The New Fire Apparatus AT Delaware
College

Within the past month new fire
eXtinguishing apparatus has been In
stalled in the Mechanical Hall at Del
aware College. Heretofore no provi-
sion was made for the extinguishing
OF fires except what safeguard might
be had in buckets and chemical extin-
guishcrs OF the revcrsible-end type.
No arrangement was ever made before
for sufficient water supply, depend
ence being placed on two or three
faucets of the common garden-hose
type with pipes about five-eighths Of
an inch i'll diameter. The new appar-
atus has corrected these inadequate
arrangements. In place of the buckets
chemical tubes. and small hose with
limited water supply there has been
installed one hundred and fifty feet OF
fire hose, two and one-half Inches in
equipment is furnished directly rom
diameter The supply for this new
the large water tank on Main street,
the water being conducted by means
OF three inch pipes to Mechanical Hall
This supply is controlled by large
two and one-half inch gate valve placed
in the water-line directly ahead OF the
hose connection.
The hose is divided into two sec
| tons of sevcntyfive feet each, one sec
ton being placed i'll the shop and the
other in the b.ue-printing room on
| the second floor. The whole building
| is thus protected, there being only
| about twenty feet between the coil Of
the hose in the shop and the electrical
laboratory, about thirty feet between
| the same hose and tha boiler and en-.
| CINE rooms; and only ten feet between
the hose installed on the second fool
and the drawing room and about
twenty-five feet between the same col
and any OF the smaller rooms on the
second floor. Thus plenty of room
for paying the water is allowed ant
almost absolute SAFETY is secured
The water supply from each hose j!
distributed by means Of regular sizet
three quarter inch nozzle. This form
sof nozzle is used by the fire depart
ments in all the large cities and i
found to be generally more satisfac
tory than the nozzle with the large
opening. These nozzles do not kicl
as much as the other type and at thu
same time furnish a larger and NOR
powerful. stream OF water
The college owes great deal t.
Professor Merrill Van Geisen Smtl
for the installation of this new safe
guard. 1t was owing to his persona
efforts that the Legislature granted al
Appropriation, and it was under hi
direct supervision that the new ap
paratus was installed.

"O many women the laundry Is the
least interesting part of the
home, and often the weekly
washing and ironing are the
work most dreaded by the entire family.
In fact, In many homes they prove to
be the one insurmountable task, and
because no other solution Is found for
the problem the washing is sent to the
laundry or is done In any way and by
any one SO long as 1t Is taken out or
the house. Why the washing and IRON
ing should prove such unpleasant work
as to cause both mistress and maid to
rebel against 1t has always been a mys-
terry to me. can explain it only by the
natural supposition that neither Knows
how to do it well and that the posi-
bilities for doing the work quickly,
easily and thoroughly are few in most
houses. We generally find that a prop
erly equipped laundry is among the
last things to be added to the house
and that in the majority of cases a
tub or two, perhaps a washing ma
chine of possible merit and OCCASION
ally a wringer comprise the average
washing outfit in private homes of
moderate means. And, small as that
equipment is, it can be made to give
very satisfactory results If a little
knowledge and intelligence are brought
to the task. The trouble is most wo-
men do not like to wash because they
have not been taught to do it prop
erly and because they make extremely
hard work of it. They appreciate to
some degree fine fabrics and dainty
clothing, but they do not, as a rule,
appreciate these to the extent that
makes them DESTROYS of preserving
materials and colors.
While IT is difficult at any time and
In almost any locality to obtain well
trained helpers for housework, 1t is
often an easier task TO get a good cook
or housemaid than it is to find a first

class laundress. Because of this it Is
all the more necessary that the mis-
tress of the house should be familiar
The Modern Laundry Equipment.
Whenever possible the laundry
should be a separate apartment in
even small houses. 1t may be located
in the basement or adjoining the
kitchen; but, wherever 1t is, the room
should be well lighted and well ven
tilated and should have a good floor
and hard finished walls. There should
be no soft or porous material used in
the laundry to absorb moisture. For a
small home laundry the following list
Of furnishings will be found sufficient:
Three or four tubs, stationary if pos
sible, made Of soapstone. enamel or
porcelain; a good washing machine.
clothes wringer, clothes stick, clothes
boiler. tin or copper; zinc or glass
washboard. clothespins Ckept in box
or basket, water pail. clothes basket,
scrubbing brush, large granite spoon.
galvanized iron clothesline. skirt.
sleeve and bosom boards for ironing,
ironing blanket, mangle and several
good irons of different weights. An
electric or even a good gasoline iron is
such a valuable labor saving device
hat its first cost should seldom be
considered, because il very soon more
than repays it. Besides this amount
of furnishing a number of common
substances for removing stains of va
rious kinds should always be on hand.
Among those most frequently needed
may be mentioned borax, ammonia,
salt, vinegar, alum. naphtha, muriatic
and oxalic acid. These should be kept
in a closed box and out of the reach
OF children, as some of them are poi
sonous. Wax. blueing, starch. French
chalk and javelle water are also often
needed in the laundry. and IL a supply
Of them is kept on hand time and eff
fort may be saved on washing day. A
valuable addition to this equipment
would be an electric or water motor
with which to run the washing ma
chine, wringer and mangle. With such
an addition it is possible for one wo-
man to finish a large washing with
comparatively little outlay of strength.

~HRIST arisen? Lift your eyes!
Lo, what glory fills the skies!
Winters death is dead, and born
~ The summers hope in %springing
corn,
While the lily cleaves the sod,
Who shall bind the o of God?
Christ arisen? The sun today
Unseals a tomb and rolls away
All mists of midnight like a stone,
All raiment save of light alone.
Shall the single shadow fall
On the Christ, the Lord of all?
Christ arisen? Roman steel
Sentineled that stone and seal.
Rome in her imperial power
Watched until the dawning hour
Watched and witnessed, bowed and said,
Christ Is risen from the dead"
Oh, by all an ages trust.

OF our joys the central ray,
Cease. my doubts, thy sentry tread,

Il Where flourish the cacti and tough

I've battled the storms of a tropical land
Where avage and war go hand In hand;
I've shared In the charge of a thousand

AS we rushed the foeman through valley

But all is forgotten-I cannot repine-
When l hold In my arms that boy Of

THE years that have gone and troubles

Have ceased long since ON my life to bear.
A brand new leaf in life's old book
I've turned to find a wholesome look
A look of promise of joys to come,
A smile to which all sorrows succumb,
And my heart is filled with a joy divine
When 1 hold in my arms hat boy of

Sens In Verse
NEAR EASTER.


IN convention they assembled, and the
demonstrators showed
How they made the millinery of the
very latest mode,
There were hats of all descriptions. shapes
and sizes for the spring,
All quite chic and smart and swagger and
too sweet for anything.
There were hats with brims extended;
there were hats without much brim;
Some were picturesque and fluffy and
some others neat and trim.
They were skewgeed kind o. sideways.
they were turned up at the rear,
And there wasn't one among 'em that
you'd not rave called a dear
They were trimmed with flmy chiffon in
a pompon or festoon;
They were edged with cobweb laces; they
were banded with galloon.
There were some rosetted under. there
were others plumed above.
And you ouldn find a bonnet that was
not a perfect love.
And the colors-glowing ruby, royal pur-
pie. peacock blue,
Green and yellow. brown and olive, every
shade of every hue,
To say nothing of the white ones and the
blacks and tans and creams
And the varied combinations-well, you
never saw such dreams
Oh, the velvets and the satins and the
feathers and the fuss
When the milliners assembled the new
fashions to discuss!
There was only one thing lacking In the
whole assortment-that
Was the tasteful and becoming and yet
inexpensive hat.

Sugar of Gum.-Dissolve with warm
water if washable, with alcohol if not
washable.
Blood.-Soak in cold water. then rub
out in fresh tepid water. If very dry
soak and wash out or use peroxide OF
hydrogen or javelle water.
A word of caution is necessary when
using acids to remove stains. These
should not be used on colored fabrics,
and after using on any white article
always rinse thoroughly in borax and
water or ammonia and water Inc aft
erward in clear water. Javelle water
is al excellent bleaching agent which
will often remove old stains. 1t is
easily made and may be kept indeti-
nitely in glass bottles in a cool, dark
place.
Javelle Water.-Dissolve one pound
of salsoda in two quarts of boiling wa
ter, then add one-fourth of a pound OF
chloride of lime. Stir with wooden
stick until Jumps are broken. then let
stand several hours to settle. Pour
off clear liquid and bottle for use. For
bleaching purposes use one-half to- one
cupful to one pail of water. Always
rinse thoroughly in ammonia water.
To remove stains brush over with
javelle water full strength. then rinse
quickly in ammonia water.
