REGULATING THE USE OF ARMS.

That is an interesting and a sug-

device is said to be so effective as to
make the discharge OF a rife or pis-

such an attachment to military fire.
arms would be of inestimable advan-
tage in warfare, a noiseless rife. using
smokeless powder giving practically no

the same thing would make gun or

IL. use of assassins. 1t may, indeed,
be said that there is no legitimate use
for e silencing device, save in Mill

of the latter. They have plenty of
tine to work at that that is worth
while, or even to play, and it is one of
the wholesome indications of healthy
life that people in this country play
as hard as they work. But business
and pleasure have turned their backs
upon the knocker, setting their faces
to brighter skies. So if you are at

with him; do not bother me with it.
That is the answer of the world to-
day, a good one, too. Even in sports

Fence of Whale Jaw sones.

The mission maintained by the Pro
testant Episcopal church among the
Eskimos at Mount Hope, above Beh-
ring strait in Alaska, has a curious
fence about the parish cemetery. 1t is
built of the jawbones of 1000 whalers.
Whale jawbones were used because
they are plentiful up there and wood is
very scarce.
The fence is an improvement re-
Gently made by the mission. Previ-
ously the Eskimos were accustomed to
deposit their dead on platforms built
on jawbones of whales.

Second Program
MISS HiNKLE PROVES
DELIGHTFUL SOLOIST

The audience at the second Phila-
delphia Orchestra concert i'm the
Opera House last night must have
been pleasing TO the Delaware Com
mittee and to Herr Pohlig and the or
chestra members, both from its size,
which was much larger than on the
occasion of the first concert, and from
its genuine appreciation of the music
1t was as usual, a handsomely garbed
audience, a ine-looking audience that
made Wilmingtonians feel proud Of
their city; and no gathering composed
exclusively of musicians could have
given more outward evidence of a
love of music. The Delaware Commit
tee is to be congratulated and thank
ed that through their efforts the Phil
adelphia Orchestra concerts here can
be recorded as splendid successes.
SO much for bouquets for VIII
mington. The chief praise of course
is due to the supe-b work of Herr
/ Pohlig and his orchestra, displayed
anew last night, and to Miss Florence
Hinkle, the soloist, who gave the
greatest pleasure of the evening IN
her arias
Before the program began, the audi
ence had chance TO read of the de-
l lights in store for the third concert
on January %. Two favorites, Thad-
deus Rich. concertmeister and first
viOlinist of the orchestra, and Schu-
/ berts Unfinished Symphony" in u
minor, are promised. Mr.. Rich will
/ be heard in a composition for violin
and orchestra. The Unfinished Sym

favor on its first appearance, is now
played every season by every orches-
tra in the country, and is liked both
{ by musicians, and those who care lit

Miss Florence Hinkle is a charm
ing and beautiful woman, and pos
sessed of a voice of marvellous sweet
ness, showing to particularly good adj
vantage in her higher notes. She gave
two of the most melOdious soprano
arias in operate music Micaelas song
/ from "Ca men," in French, and La
