TEACHERS HEAR
BANGS LECTURE
Noted Funny Man Keeps
PedaeOGueS Laughter With
Talks on SalubritleS

A big crowd Of Wilmington people
went to hear the most entertaining
man in the United States at the High
School yesterday afternoon, and when
John Kendrick Bangs appeared upon
the stage and had acknowledged that
Miss Mendinhall, present OF the
Primary Teachers Association. had
correctly introduced all three seq
ments of his name, the audience said,
That's him." and settled back and
had a perfectly joyous time for the
next hour.
Originally. said Mr.. Bangs. this par
icular lecture was on Celebrities
Have Met" but an unconscious gen.
ius OF a printer having made "Salu-
brities" out of the first word, Mr.
Bangs concluded that was fine word,
meaning people who get Joy out Of
life and pass II along TO the rest Of
the world. Mr.. Bangs characterized
Winston Spencer Churchill, who
froze everyone at a reception given
him, as a non-salubrious person, while
.'AdA n Noin nU AdlltQ llt nlbutcA
salubrity he ever met. Mr.. Bangs
also had found salubriettes among
celebrities. Speaking of ways Of
breaking the ice. he said his six-year-
old son, who had swatted Conan
Doyle in the back of the neck with a
calico brownie had solved the prob
lem successfully while his father was
wondering how to make the great man
feel at home. Conan Doyle's three
year-old daughter got even by saying
at a later date to Mr.. Bangs. Il have
never met a man so funny as you, but
with It all you are a very proper per-
son."
Mr.. Bangs closed the lecture with
reading of "A Strenuous Day al
Oyster Bay" once written for the
New York Herald, and which the sal
ubrity therein referred to pronounced
bully"
Yesterday was the annual compli.
mentary lecture given TO the public
by the Primary Teachers Association
and 1t was thoroughly enjoyed by ;

Home Music.

ITO use the player piano and the re-
productive instrument not only for
pleasure. but to increase your knowl-
edge of music. is a duty you owe
yourself" says O. Il. Claudy In the Wo-
mans Home Companion. The musi-
cally ignorant may prefer light opera
and march and waltz music to that
which they do not understand. yet an
evening OF light music alone Is much
like a dinner of dessert alone. II you
give a concert at home on player
piano or phonograph. strive to arrange
your programme with some regard TO
the fitness of things. AS the chef in
creases the enjoyment Of a meat with
a sauce. Of an entree with a sweet side
dish. for contrast. so can you increase
enjoyment of musical program or
menu by contrast. by skillful ar
rangement of your numbers and by In
termissions. II you have several short
numbers of the same general oharac-
ter. play them one after the other
without intermission."

The unsanitary condition Of the
City Hall. especially the cells I'm the
police station, was again brought up
In the Board OF Health meeting yes
terday afternoon and the members
discussed the existing conditions In
no mild terms. IL was stated that

yet taken action in the matter. Sew
eral members of the Board favored
having the necessary improvements
made under the authority given to the
Board and send the bills TO Council.
Final action was deferred, however,
until later meeting.
The bill passed by the Legislature
relative TO the shipment OF dead bod
les outside the State was read and the
members were Of the opinion that II is
complete.
President Beck brought up the mat
ter Of licensing the odorless excava-
tors Of the city. Licenses must be
issued on the first OF next month,
but before this is done the Board will
adopt new regulations relative to the
apparatus used by the persons con-
ducting this business.
DR.. Cleaver called attention to the
neglect of garbage collectors over
/ loading their wagons, not keep
ing them clean and not having the
numbers plainly painted on the sides
OF the vehicles. The secretary was no
titled to instruct the garbage contrac-
tors that unless the rules Of the de-
partment we're adhered TO, arrests
would follow.
The Board made a change In the
quarantine regulations with respect
to diphtheria. Hereafter the throats
OF the inmates OF a house, following
a death from diphtheria, will be eX.

are present, quarantine Will be littec

A Journal Render Thinks That II
VIII Prove Blessing to the
State.
Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL. !
It is highly gratifying that the du-
Pont road Is to become a reality. NO /
one can estimate the value OF this (
great Appian Way or what II viii |
eventually mean to the State. SO Tar !
as our knowledge extends, no other
State has ever had such a gift be-
slowed upon tan improved highway
extending from one end Of the State
10 the other. Likewise. can no other
State boast Of a citizen so philan-
thropically inclined. Carnegie with
all his libraries has performed no act
that will be more appreciated or pet-
ter perpetuate his memory. Imagine
how the farmers hearts Will swell up
with gratitude upon reaching TINS
broad, hard. smooth. splendid road
after having dragged and labored
through mud and slush and ruts.
Nothing so dampens the spirits as
plodding over miserable roads. To
see horses straining every muscle,
flecked with foam. tired and jadod,
trying to draw a load over roads nj
only for savages. is a depressing sight.
Thanks to Mr.. DUPONT, we have In
him one citizen. who Is able ana Will
ing to end such misery. In no better
way could be show his love for his
fellowman. No greater Christian
spirit can a man display than by soft
ening others burdens. Mr.. DUPONT Is
n benefactor in all that the word Inn
plies. Every right minded citizen OF
delaware will honor his name and
cherish his memory. The little in
significant selfish political blots OF
humanity who dared oppose this noble
work have already sunk into oblivion.
THE JOURNAL can claim large credit
for putting these people down and
making the road proposition a final
success. Its efficient editor kept ham,
mering away till the thing was done.

whose interest Is the welfare Of the
people. II is cheering to realize that
when perils arise, there are benign
influences which spring to the rescue
and make possible plans for the pub

In these days Of greed and corrup'
ton, such masterful influences are
the salvation of the people and main
tain the equilibrium of government
This proposition gave the press ol
our commonwealth a splendid oppor-
tunitv TO show whose interests are
studied and sought for. THE JOUR-

pie. The days OF partsanship are
