NEW NEWS or YESTERDAY
A Great Historians Pro-
fame Confession
By Holland

Francis Parkman, now recognized as
The most accurate and thorough, If not
the greatest. Of American historians,
died in 1898 at his home in Magnolia,
Mass, near Cape Ann. Dr. Parkman
was for many years an invalid, some
physical ailments we're undoubtedly
aggravated by his impercet sight, for.
like William II. Prescott, another great
American historian, also a son OF
Massachusetts, Parkman wrote his
histories by artificial help. Notwith-
standing DR.. Parkman's infirmities, he
was an enthusiastic horticulturalist.
taking apparently greater pride in his
rose garden than i'm his literary
achievements In this respect, he re-
sembled George Bancroft, our great
historian, who once told me that he
mad rather develop a new and perfect
rose than to be President of the United
States.
Parkman's infirmities never affected
his mind, and as he advanced i'm years
his intellectual powers seemed to be
even brighter than they were in the
days before illness came upon him
His pains and annoyances, however,
did sometimes play havoc with his
temperament, so that he often appear
ed TO be brusque, rough and cross
when, In fact, he made these displays
OF temper simply because he was suf-
fering pain.
recently learned directly from Dr.
Parkman's family what some of his
attempts had been to master the pains
and Ills which his flesh was heir to
and why at last he gave up in resigna-
tion and in despair all attempts of this
character TO cure his ills.
He was advised at the time when
his first volumes of history relating
to the French and English occupation
of Canada were in preparation, TO
submit to a thorough course Of treat
ment by great specialist of the allo-
pathic school. He placed himself III
the hands of the specialist, who, after
treatment of considerable time, as
sured DR.. Parkman that he was great
ly improved.
but am not" was Dr. Parkman's
gruh response; and he gave up that
treatment.
Soon after be was advised to take a
special course Of treatment admins
tered by homeopathic expert. After
some months of submission to the
homeopathist the physician said to
him: DIR. Parkman, l find that you
are very much better"
We'll, / don't" was DR. Parkman's
reply; and he gave up homeopathy.
Then intimate personal friends
counseled him that he submit to tho
treatment of a hydropath He accept
ed the advice and submitted to cold
baths, all kinds of queer immersions
and cold manipulations, and was at
last assured that his ills were being
mastered
Il know better, was DR.. Parkman's S
reply; and he gave up hydropathy.
Next, yielding to the persuasion Of
friends, he went TO some of the famous
baths of Europe, and returned home to
express sententiously his opinion Of
the inadequacy Of these European
treatments.
At last, a friend in whose Judgment
Parkman placed much confidence as
sured him that his trouble was chiefly

TIPS SYNDICATED."

IT HE discussion of the so-called tipping evil"
Il brought out the fact that in some hotels in
large cities the tippnghas been syndcated and that
the easy money" does not finally rest in the

1t is said that in some Chicago hotels the tips

had charge of the boxes, paid the wages Of the SER
wants, supplied uniforms for the boys and kept
the surplus. This little corporation received the

In some of the New York hotels a similar plan
is followed. The tips go to the hotel proprietors
and II is case of graft all round the propristors

on the public. Other hotel men are considering
the plan of charging more for food and lodging

BUSINESS METHODS FOR THE CITY.

tn ISCUSSIONS like those of Mr.. T. Allen Hilles
~ and Mr.. s. c, Singleton at the Social Ser.
vice Club cannot fail TO be beneficial at time when
Wilmington is pondering the new charter problem
and is soon to have placed before il for approval
or rejection a new municipal governmental system.
Mr.. Hilles spoke particularly of taxation, a sub
ject he has given much thought and study since
he became a member of the State Commission on
Revenue and Taxation. After all, Mr.. Hilles out
lined the necessity for common sense business in
the city government. Simple as. this phrase ap-
pears on paper, the most difficult civic problem
seems to be to have recognized business principles
applied to government.
How many men would tolerate the conduct of
their private businesses along the loose and lax
lines that are the rule and not the exception in
municipal administrations? Too frequently are
found directors who do not direct, "watchdogs"
Of the treasury, who do not watch street super
visors who fail to glaring holes in streets or,
if they see, do not have them repaired-all part Of
a system lax in business essentials and lacking
economics to safeguard the taxpayers moneys.
Mr. Hilles emphasized the oft-stated necessity
for a reform in the assessment and taxgathcring
system of the city He believes the assessors should
be APPOINTED 10 hold Office so long as they perform
their duties faithfully, instead of depending upon
the votes of friends to obtain and retain Office
His idea Of a system for Wilmington is of one to
lift the city above the plane Of partisan politics,
with manager or superintendent as the head OF
the government with authority to appoint the
heads of departments and minor officials subject 10
confirmation by the Mayor and Council Business
ability and not political affiliations would be made
the qualification for these positions and the Mayor
and Council would decide upon the several policies
of business, but not be the administrators or in
active charge of executive departments.
The main thing is that city affairs should be
administered for the good of the whole community
and absolutely freed from partisan politics. is the
keynote Of Mr.. Hiles interesting study Of the
municipal government question
Many will agree with Mr.. Singleton's statement
in the course of his address that Wilmington
should be made the best advertised city on the
Atlantic coast, but will disagree with him as to
the method he suggests-the introduction of the
single tax system-even though Mr. Singleton
paints rosy pictures of the prosperity of Van
couver and Edmonton, the latter the capital of
Alberta, being in absolute control of all the public
utilities.

ator. The women have two chances, one TO succeed

Senator Simon Guggenhem who announces that
he will retire at the end of his present term which
expires in 1913
The women of Colorado already have their can
didate in the person of Mrs Sarah Platt Decker.
The women have long had complete suffrage-and
II must be said in passing that government has
not been very much improved in that state They
have held many Offices. Mrs Decker is one OF the
aolest and most active of the women leaders, She
has aided in many reform movements. Her friends

Nowadays, cleanliness stands for
great deal more than freeing things from
dirt. 1t means PURITY, freedom from
germ life.
Not many years ago, people purified
clothes only after catching illness, when
they soaked them in some disinfectant.
But the careful housewife of today
considers purity above all else.
She realizes that the air is alive with
all kinds of germs of more OF less harmful
nature;
And she does her wash with the soap
that not only cleans-diSSolveS the dirt, but
that destroys harmful germ life:
