COURTsHIP THAT COMP ARES WITH JENNY LIMBS.

Very likely you have heard of the
romantic courtship which preceded the
betrothal and the marriage, in 1852. of
Jenny Lind. the Swedish nightingale,
and Otto Goldschmidt. Well, can tell
you the story of courtship carried on
between another great prima donna
and very modest yet noted musician
which, ] think, will match the story Of
Jenny Lind's courting of the modest
piano playing Goldschmidt. Cold
schmidt, you may recall, though he
loved Jenny Lind, felt that he was
too far below her to tell her so, and so,
Jenny Lind being in love with her
pianist, and realizing why he hesi-
tated to tell her of his love for her,
was practically forced to do the court

Euphrosyne Parepa, who had quite as
fine a reputation between 1860 and
1874 as any grand opera singer, and
Carl Rosa, who was regarded as one
Of the great violin players of Europe,

and it did not take me long to become
aware of the fact that Parepa was
casting decidedly kindly glances to-
ward the young violinist who shared
the applause of the audience with her
He was indeed, a master of the violin
Before he went on the stage, Pare
pa, who had the blackest, merriest eyes
I ever saw, would approach Rosa,
whose hair was fair, whose complexion
was pink, and whose eyes were the
bluest l ever saw, and ask him in Ger
man how the weather affected his vio-
lin. She would do il charmingly, he1
eyes dancing, her olive tinted cheeks
suffused with a delicate blush. Then
after Rosa had finished playing and
had sought the wings she would ap-
proach him and say fascinatingly what
in English amounted to this: 'Ah, my
little violinist, you brought the music
of the heavens out of your instru-
ment!' The boy-he was then only ir
his twenties, while Parepa was in the
thirties would blush like a school gir

MIR. LTTTS POSITION.

MIR. GEORGE LITZ, a member Of the Board
1 4 Of Health had interesting letter in The
Journal yesterday explaining his position on the
ordinance which the Board is asking City Council
10 pass.
The letter Of Mr. Litz tells Of how he was AT first
opposed 70 the ordinance, or one similar TO it, but
after studying the question and listening to the
arguments of the physicians, who arc members Of
the Board, he became convinced that every kind
OF precauton should be taken to protect meat and
other food supplies. The experience of Mr.. Litz
would be that of nine men out of ten If they gave
thought and study TO the matter
Mr.. Litz makes some really good points in his
letter among them the protection Of the health Of
people who eat in restaurants. His statement on
that phase of it completely demolishes the argu-
ment of Councilman Hinger. The incident he re-
cites of the exposed meat above the gutter is
another telling point, and in fact every argument
Mr.. Litz uses is worthy of consideration
The battle for the protection of food supplies
in this city has been hard and unpleasant one
on the part of the members Of the Board of
Health They do not enjoy it, but they have taken
the stand they have because they believe their duty
calls them to do So The easier way for them
would have been TO let things slide and not TO stir
up rumpus.
The broad way 10 look ar the entire matter is
10 consider that we have a Board of Health tc
look after the welfare of the people and to sup
port the members in all reasonable efforts. 1t is
fair to presume that they are intelligent and rea

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

warITH the opening of the Government Postal
wv Savings Bank in this city on September |
three of such banks will be in operation in this
state at Dover Newark and in this city. The de-
posits in the Dover bank last reports, were not
large but a reason was assigned that the existence
Of the bank was not generally known. lhe pro-
gress of the Wilmington bank will be watched
with much interest. The postal banks IN most
parts of the country have gained a greater head
way than even the most enthusiastic friends OF the
plan at Washington expected
The deposits have steadily grown. At frst there
was considerable opposition TO the postal banks
on the part of the regular banking institutions,
but such opposition has died away for in other
cities il has been noticed that the regular banks
have not been affected.
The postal banks have drawn money from the
privately kept boards of individuals who used an
old stocking or something of that kind as bank.
The general effect has been TO put money into cir
cuaton that in the past has been hidden.
We should not be surprised if the local postal
bank failed to show large deposits. In many re-
spects however, it will be convenience.
Wilmington has high reputation as regards its
financial institutions. Its savings banks are noted
for their conservatism and general carefulness,
things highly desirable on the part Of those who
handle the money Of other people. The two long
established savings banks of this city pay high
rate of interest-four per cent.--a high rate for
savings banks They carry heavy deposits.
II is said that foreigners will be likely to use
the postal bank but some bankers tell us that
foreigners are just as anxious TO get as much for
their money as are other people. The postal bank
with its low rate, is not likely to attract so many
foreigners if the view of these bankers is correct
One of the boasts of Delaware is that not for many
many years in fact we do not recall an instance,
have depositors in banks lost any money
Ii is notable TOO as showing the progress Della
ware is making that the deposits of our banks, es-
pecaliy those in the lower counties, have greatly
increased during the last decade. This must be
due to the fact that the people have more money
in those regions than formerly, or that they have
greater confidence in the banks.
While We are speaking Of savings banks it is well
70 call attention TO the services so freely and un-
grudgingly given by the managers OF those inst-
tutions Many manager leaves his business TO
devote time TO the affairs of a savings institution
and his only reward is that which comes from the
satisfaction Of knowing that his work as a manager
is really for the public benefit and not for private
gain. II is a laudable manifestation of public
spirit
The Postal Bank will. however. he convenience,
as we have said in many ways and, the determine
ton 10 locate ono in this city shows that Delaware
gets its share Of whatever is going II will not he
long, we presume, before many towns in the state
will have postal banks.

Measures for the protection Of the public health,

THE SENATE CONTROL.

THE Farmers Free List Bill was put through
i the Senate at Washington yesterday, by the
same combination of Progressive Republicans and
Democrats that passed the wool amendment. The
votes on these questions show that the Republi-
cans are no longer in control Of the Senate. that
they have neither branch Of Congress. President
Taft is the only brake on anything that the COM
bnaton might do.
II is now thought that eated by the success of
the coalition in the Senate the Democrats in the
House may engage upon more or less general
revision of the tariff, and such action would be
regrettable in view of the fact that the Tariff
Board has experts employed who will be able to
make report next winter which will serve as a
guide in any tariff legislation that may be then
attempted.
