an operate impresario at London

an opera based upon Goethe's legend

dacity for any comparatively unknown
composer to do this because several

written operas around that legend and
all of them had been failures

BAD ADVERTISEMENT OF A CITY.

TN delightfully."- sarcastic editorial article al
Il though it deals with a grave and important
subject, The Baltimore Evening Sun comments on
the proverb that the American people love to be
humbugged"
Some of the Baltimore merchants and manufac-
turers have evidently been doing their share of the
humbuggng, and the Sun inclines to the opinion
that methods of this kind greatly damage the re-
putation of the city, unfortunately at time when
Baltimore is making extraordinary efforts to in
increase its trade and to locate new indus
tries.
Several weeks ago some Baltimore merchants
pleaded guilty in the Federal courts to the charge
of having shipped decomposed catsup and tomato
pulp, and some days later other merchants we're
hailed before the court for various offenses One
was accused of selling aduterated vanilla extract
another had put French labels upon Baltimore
peas; another had mixed ohcory with his Balti-
more coffee, and fourth had shipped contaminat-
ed oysters from Baltimore
This is not the entire list. Some time ago Bal
timore concern sold safe headache powders which
contained nearly six grains of acetanlde. Another
sold liquid sulphur which contained calcium sui
phide. Various other kinds of cures we're found to
be dangerous.
The Sun says sarcastically that at time when
Baltimore is struggling hard to gain frmer COM
mercial footing, when desperate efforts are being
made to win the good will of the people in her
natural commercial territory, it must be obvious
that such enterprises are of great benefit.
The Baltimore list is a black one but other large
cities have the same kinds Of fraud that the Sun
complains of. That the food and drug fakirs in
jure city goes without saying
city that seeks to make headvay in the strug-
gle for industrial commercial supremacy must gain
and hold reputation for fair and honest dealing.
This is good point for wilmingtonians who are in
terested in the progress of the city to remember
The Baltimore comment however, shows the
wide extent of the efforts OF the food and drug
adulterators, despite the war that the Government
has been waging the nefarous business. Con-
slant vigilance is needed for the protection of the
people against the aduterators and fortunate is il
that the Government has at the head of the de-
partment at Washington such a vigorous foe of the
adulterators as DR.. Wiley.

BATH TUBS FOR Mules.

THE Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
i Iron Company are to put to the test the doc
trine that environment makes men-or mules in
this instance-better. The company is building
at Ashland, Pa, concrete bath tubs for the mules
that draw its cars. Each tub will be equipped
with a shower and the water will be graduated to
any degree of temperature.
The company believes that the innovation will
surely keep the mules in good health and hnespirts.
All of which is quite thoughtful on the part of the
company for the mules, but will the mules be ap-
preciative? Mules have generally been regarded
as stubborn and disagreeable. Few men have
thought it worth while TO shower mules with water
or kindness. The mule is hard worker, but not
particularly cheerful The shower baths may
change the disposition of the mules. At any rate
the Ashland experiment will be watcher
with interest.
