Salt W.tar c.t.r.nt..

There are a good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia. where narrow fords,
or arms of the sea, are obstructed by
barriers OF rock. The rising tide fows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until IL breaks over the obstruction in
an Irresistible torrent. Most curious
OF all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage. where the island OF Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the food tide from the
gulf OF Georgia 10 the southwark is
held back at a narrow cleft between
two islands until It pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume Of the
Rhine. At the turn Of the tide. how
ever. the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf. producing a cas-
cade of equal height and volume. The
waterfall actually flows both ways.

Amending His Constitution.

A We'll known attorney OF heavy
build and pompous TO a degree that
frequently reaches the state of being
overbearing was leaving his office In
a Broad street building the other day.
With his high hat on and carrying a
walking stick. he had stepped upon the
sidewalk when he slipped and landed
fat upon the pavement with a thud
that shocked him as well as caused
embarrassment.
Just then another attorney who en-
joys an equal distinction In the legal
world passed and laughed at the fallen
lawyer. When the latter was trying
to get up he remarked to the other;
II guess l am getting old. My con
stitution will not stand what It did
years ago"
As he arose to his feet his friend
facetiously remarked. "well. then,
Dick. you ought TO get an amendment
10 your constitution"
Looking at his friend with a cold
stare. as cold as the ice he had fallen
upon. he rsked:
"well. what kind OF an amendment
would you suggest If you know SC
much?"

ply. II don't give advice to my clients
without some kind OF retainer. but

how she liked II.

FOR A MUNICIPAL
LIGHTING PLANT
Council Will Consider AdviS-
ability Of Going Ahead
With Project
ALSO PROD TROLLEY
FOR BETTER SERVICE

Because the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company, which con-
trolls the Wilmington City Electric
Company, has advanced the electric
lighting rates practically double
under the new management, City
Council last night decided to look into
the advisability Of erecting a muni-
cipal lighting plant and also to take
up the matter OF better street railway
service so far as this company is con-
cerned.
With these objects in view President
OF Council Banning appointed the fol-
lowing committee: President Ban
ming. James Kane, of the Fourth
ward; and Samuel II. Benson, Jr., Of
the Seventh ward.
The municipal lighting project is
the result OF an agitation started by
Michael T. Conway, of the Tenth ward,
who. at a recent meeting of Council,
informed the members that the light
ing company proposed to practically
double the rates for lighting the city
buildings, and he thought II was a
good time to start a movement to es-
tablish a municipal lighting plant Mr..
Conway said he not only believed In a
municipal plant. which would supply
light for the city buildings and street
lamps, but to the public In general.
He believes that such plant would
be a source OF revenue to the city and
would be as much a success as the
water plant. which nets the city tidy
sum each year.
Relative TO a better railway service,
Councilman Higgins moved that the
clerk OF Council confer with the Street
and Sewer Commissioners asking
them to take up with the railway COM
pany the question of an improved SER
vice. Mr.. Higgins contended that a
better service should be provided be-
tween the hours OF 6 and O'Clock In
the morning and between aud 6
o'clock I'm the afternoon.
Mr. Higgins motion also provided
that in case there is no law under
which the Street and Sewer Depart
ment can act. the matter shall be
placed in the hands of the law com
mittee.
After a discussion Of the matter
Councilman McGovern Of the Eleventh
ward suggested that a resolution be
prepared cltluB tpttlnc tolnpidinNh
against the present service, and Mr..
Higgins agreed TO have such reso-
luton prepared, Withdrawing his mo-
ton
Major r. r. Raymond. the United
States engineer In charge OF the local

fcations for the dredging of the local

located. Later he served churches
at Lyons, (now Clinton) Ia, and
Cedar Rapids, la. Their son, Albert
Edwin. was born In the former town.
From Cedar Rapids, Or. KeIgwin was
called TO the Southwick Church, Phil
Rdelphia. From there he went with
his family TO Wilmington.
Mrs Keigwin early found her Lord,
and she devoted her whole life to His
service. She was the real power
behind the pulpit for both her hus-
band and her son. After her hus-
bands retirement she gave herself up
10 aiding hNr son in his preaching
and parish work. She prayed while
he preached. She called his study
on the top floor OF the parsonage ''tha
Sanctum Sanctorum.' and would allow
no one to enter whether he was thera
OF not. saying that was where he went
to be alone with God. Often she
went hither when he was away to pray
for him and a blessing upon his work.
This now sainted woman always
had a prayer list and she spent hours
a day In Bupplication for those sha
felt we're in need of her prayers She
believed in divine premonitions. Often
she would feel call to go and see
friend to talk about her soul, and
she would find that this friend was
expecting her. After her health be-
came so bad that she could not go
about she wrote letters. She would
send a message OF cheer and spiritual
advice in answer TO a divine mes
sage. and invariably she would re-
ceive an answer saying It was Just
what was needed.
In the last days OF her life Mrs
Keigwin's spirit lowered very near Il
the spiritual world. She would holl
long conversations with Ernest" arr
Blanche" and then would open hel
eyes and say she did not understand
when she saw her husband and son by
her side. She wanted 70 go to her
little daughter and son, and most OF
all to her Heavenly Father And al
though she has left behind broken
hearts none could wish her back.

Sending q Man to Coventry.

The expression sending to Coven-

so II is said. in the days OF Charles
J.. when the inhabitants OF Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in their
town, and woman known to speak
to man in scarlet cloak was at once
the subject of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con-
fined to the mess room for converse
