INFORMATION ABOUT WRECKS.

II HE Pennsylvania Railroad Company reiterates
i the policy as TO the publicity of the facts
about railroad accidents. The company declares
that its policy is TO give 10 the public through the
newspapers, prompt and accurate information don-
cerning any accidents that may occur on its lines
The company points out that il is impractical
for miscellaneous employees TO furnish informa-
ton and adds that official information by per-
sons in authority is what will be given The COM
pany realizes that the public has a right to such
information among other reasons, in order to
aay anxiety on the part Of those who may have
friends or relatives on train on which the acci
dent occurs.
This is the best plan to follow, and the news
papers arc certain 10 cooperate with the company
in carrying out the policy which has now been
pursued for several years. Much of the inaccurate
information that often appears regarding wrecks
is due 10 the impossbility of obtaining the facts
or the unwillingness of railroad officials to furnish
them. Often the newspapers have a very brief
time for obtaining the news of a wreck Where
information is not freely furnished, the reporters
have to do as best they can, and this applies TO
public matters other than railroad accidents. No
newspaper OF responsibility wishes to publish mac
curate information.
II some other persons who are in position TO
give news TO which the public is entitled should
follow the same plan that the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road does there would be fewer complaints about
ne newspapers getting things wrong

THE CALL OF THE FUTURE.

THE great turn out Of the people at the cele-
i bration on Monday evening shows that the
residents of this town are greatly interested in
everything that pertains TO its advancement. They
are eager to see Wilmington go forward. Such af-
fairs as that Of Monday night are worth while Il
for no other reason than that they stimulate in
terest among the people in the progress of their
city.
And it is fortunate that the city has officials
who are determined to do all within their power to
lead in the forward movement.
The addresses we're all of the same tone, all told
pointed out as most hopeful sign of the future.
There is going to be material and business progress
and there will be political progress. The two, in
measure, depend upon each other
Wilmington has every incentive to sit up and
rub its eyes and TO make fresh start so that il
will more than keep up with other cities in the
race for supremacy. The race can be won easily
If the energy and interest Of the leaders of busi-
ness and the leaders in the financial world can be
enlisted in the so that the burden shall not
fall upon few.
No other city is more fortunately located than
Wilmington. No other city has better advantages
than Wilmington.
When consider the great improvement made
in our buildings, when think that Wilmington
is soon TO have a splendid new hotel and possibly
new theatre and when we consider that the city
will soon be touched by of the finest if not the
finest, highways in the country when we consider
that il is more than probable that new form OF
city government will be adopted. when we think
OF all these things, which are but a part of the
7roRress the city has made, should they not be an

VIEWS OF A BIBLE STUDENT
FOR FORTY-FIVE YEARS

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
l have been very much interested
in reading the article in your issue Of
18th, do the dead arise or come
back" by Mr.. Kent, who takes excep-
tions to a discourse by Mr.. Dole. We
did not read Mr.. DoIes sermon nor
hear II, but from Mr. Kent's remarks
can understand somewhat of its i'm
port, and yet we see where exceptions
could be taken to Mr.. Kent's exegesis.
Perhaps, If both gentlemen would
study the Bible with the help of the
many helps now to be had, they would
both see differently. The writer for
over forty-five (45) years has been
not only reader, but a Bible student.
using all the unbiased reasonable
helps he could obtain, for he was
puzzled why there should be so many
differing creeds and why, if they we're
all Christians. they should hate and
kill one another. He found the teach
ings to be as follows: There is no
salvation only, in, by and through the
Church (Papal and Episcopal Doc
trine). Predestination, Foreordination
and Election presbyterian and Bap-
tiOn to Harmony With God (Uni-
versalism and unitarian). God is ever
Merciful and of Free Grace Method

all. Return of the Lord. Destrrc-
tion Of the World (Adventists, Holi-
ness, ct. all.
With all this we were not surprised
to hear the Bible spoken of as IAN
old fiddle on which any tune could be
played" and many learned and edu-
Gated men turning from it. Yet we
find, when we take the Word of tho
Lord, (Jehovah) in Isaiah 55. For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neith-
er are your ways my ways, saith the
Lord, for as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways and my thoughts than
your thoughts" We may find q
higher standard to look to, and if we
will only study the Bible, using Scrip
ture TO interpret Scripture, seeking TO
know the way of the Lord, we will
be enabled to harmonize it from
Genesis to Revelation, and all these
differences Of denominations as we'll
as the differences between Mr.. Dole
and Mr. Kent will disappear, and they
will "be able to comprehend with all
saints what is the breadth and length
and depth and height, and to know
the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge and to exclaim with the
Apostle Paul. Rom. IL: SO. 90, the
depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God; how unsearch-
able are His judgments and His ways

ENTITLED TO PRAISE.

TN HIS address on Monday evening, President
Il Sparks of the Street and Sewer Department
told of the long inquiry and careful Investigation
Of various lighting systems by the directors before
the present plan of illuminating Market street was
adopted The directors are entitled TO much praise
in this matter for hampered by lack of funds
as they are, they are often confronted withp per-
picking problems as to which course TO pursue. 1t
is very easy to do thingsif the amount of money
at hand is practically without limit
Director Sparks also referred to the unfortunate
position Wilmington occupies with regard to its
revenue. Other cities receive revenue from sources
which in Delaware are utilized by the state and the
city is thereby hampered. This matter should be
kept in mind when we reflect upon anything that
pertains TO the city and when are inclined to
criticise our officials far not making improvements
which people think should be made.

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The writer heard a lecture on Sex
Hygiene" before The Mems Club, in
Trinity Parish House last night, and
was impressed beyond expression by
the importance of the subject. If,
however, the lecture made an impress
sion because OF its importance. the dif-
ficulties that attach themselves to the
getting Of this important matter be-
fore those where IL will do the most
good, was too manifest II is ac-
knOwledged that the children should be
informed on this most vital subject,
but there appears to be a squemish-
ness about anybody taking the re-
sponsibility as a teacher. DR.. Hooker,
professor Of physiology at Johns Hop
kins, made the subject so clear and
pointed out the conditions so plainly
that it appears like a humilating re-
Election on the intelligence of the
twentieth century that such things
could be, and at the same time, un-
challenged. allowed to go on. In
considering the matter IL appears as
if, while It will not be denied that il
is imperative, the children should be
/ informed on this vital matter, il is
none the less necessary that the lighl
should be let in on the Egyptian
darkness that befog their elders 2r
the subject. Unquestionably, If par
ents understood the appalling dangers
their children are going to be ex-
posed to when they go out of theiI

 Harbormaster, Bridgeport, Conn: My Dear SirAReferring to my re- cent visit to Bridgeport, re: improve ments in the buOyage of Bridgeport and Black Rock harbors, I take pleas ure in informing you that the bureau has approved of the changes and ad- ditions recommended. If you remem- ed were two gas and bell buoys, one off the entrance to Bridgeport harbor and one in the place of Black Rock Shoal Spar Buoy No. 2.
 The placing of the above mentioned gas buoys will depend on the condi- tions of our funds for their purchase, but the buoys have been authorized permit. The remainder of the spar buoys in Bridgeport and Black Rock harbors will be placed at the opening of navigation in the spring-probably about April l. hope this arrange ment will be suitable to the people in terested at Black Rock and Bridge port. As you know, we are required to publish a "Notice to Mariners" of any changes contemplated, at least one month before the changes take place. This would bring the placing of spar buoys up to about January 1 at the earliest date.
 We think it better to make a good job of it by putting them down when navigation opens in the spring, when we feel sure that they will be in and remain in proper position.
 Will you kindly let the Mayor and other gentlemen who were with us the day I visited Bridgeport know of the action taken on their request.
 With personal regards,
 Respectfully. c. D. STEARNS,
