and followed the band as it marched up

concert.
Our readers will see that the kilograms
from Copenhagen on Monday, both direct and
through London, bring great news FIR St.
Thomas. The Rigsdag has been asked to
grant important concessions to a rich com
pany, which in return will carry ouC vast i'm
provements III the harbour and ashore. We
may all hope that this great move will be
the beginning Of a new era for st. Thomas,
and that the port may eventually become
what the Finance Minister, Herr Neergaard,
expects, the Singapore Of the West Indies.
The southern tip Of the Malay Peninsula
is cut off by q cross channel and so an island
is formed, an island about two and a half
times the size Of st. Croix. 1t is called Sinpa-
pore. At the beginning of the last century
1t was a tropical jungle, through which tigers
roamed undisturbed, but an EnglishmAp.
seeing that the great peninsula here meets
the Straits t Malacca, which is the natural
channel round it for the trade between the
two most populous countries of the World,
India and China, started a town there, and
now the town Of Singapore numbers some
where about 100000 people, he greater num-
Der of whom are Chinese and Malays. It's
principal exports are tin, tapiocA, sage,
rubber, rice and spices.
Singapore is the capital Of a furnishing
English colony, ''The Straits Settlements
but it's Importance consists mainly in its
favourable situation on one of The Worlds
great trade routes, which is why our Finance
Minister compares the hoped for future of st.
Thomas with the present Of Singapore.

A GOOD WORK.
FOUNDED isss.

"A NOVEL meeting was held at the Garrck
a Theatre Philadelphia, on Sunday evening,
1t was religious service under the auspices Of
what is called the Lemon Hill Association, an or
ganization that conducts non-sectarian religious
exercises in Farmount Park during the summer
On the stage were about 100 policemen, mem
oers OF Philadephias force, and a stalwart and
iinc looking body OF men they we're. The police
men took part in the services by singing
The chief speaker of the evening was Mr. George
d, Porter, Director of Public Safety under the
Blankenburg administration, and he took occasion
to tell how the administration is managing the
police force. No political work is required of the
officers no assessments, nothing but strict attend
ance to duty.
Mr.. Porter compmented the officers. said that
the public should look upon them as guardians
and should assist them. They should be regarded
as friends. Often the services Of the policemen
arc not appreciated. Cheerful men they are, con-
sdering the fact that they see so much of the dis
tress and misery of the world
Philadelphia policemen should feel happy be-
cause of the change of administration, which
means better conditions for them, and if the Key
stone party lives up to its promises, as there is
yseyery kind of indication that it will do, it should
nave long lease OF life
The meetings held at the Garrick theatre sug-
gest the thought that similar meetings Of a nom
Scctarlan nature should be held IN other cities.
At the Sunday night meeting there was no vacant
seat in the big theatre except in the top gallery.
In this city similar work to that in Philadelphia
was begun on Sunday in the Majestic theatre. The
latter meeting was we'll attended. The services
should be continued throughout the winter and be
made permanent feature in Wilmington Such
meetings will accomplish much good. They ought
10 help the churches. Good music and speaking
are attractive at the nonsectaran gatherings They
not be attracted TO the churches will gladly attend
such meetings and the churches sooner or later
are benefited by them. 1t is a practical method
OF reaching certain kinds of people.

woRKMENs INSURANCE IN OHIO.

THE Supreme Court Of Ohio recently affirmed
Il the validity of the workmens compensation
law passed by the legislature and a new era will
soon be established in the industrial history of the
state The insurance fund from which the vic
TINS of industrial accidents and their dependents
will be compensated will be available for that pur
pose on March T.
Chairman Thomas Duffy. of the Ohio State
Liability Board of Awards thinks that the law
when m operation will be boon both for en-
ployers and manufacturers by changing the cx-
istng spirit Of strife between the men and their
employers into one of harmony and cooperation.
According TO the court records more than eighty
per cent. OF injured employees have failed to re-
cover any damages whatever
1t is said thar fully ninety-nine per cent. of the
the 5000 manufacturers in Ohio arc in accord with
the principles of the law and only await informa-
ton with regard to the rate of assessment 10 be
levied against them before agreeing to take ad-
vantage of the provisions Of the law.
Experts are now gathering information in the
industrial centcrs of the state to determine what
rate will be necessary in order to create a fund
that shall meet all demands upon it. According
TO statistics gathered by the insurance depart
ment the employers of Ohio during the year 1910
paid to the liability insurance companies in pre-
miums $l,690S8 OF this amount about fifty
per cent. was paid out by these companies for
losses from damage suits and settlements with in
Jured employees.
If the employers who have been patronizing liza
biity insurance concerns consent to contribute to
the state insurance fund instead, il is probable
Judging from preliminary estimates by the board
that the amount of their contributions will not be
greater than the amount of the premiums they
pay to liability concerns while the so per cent
OF their injured employees who heretofore have re-
eeived no compensation whatever, will be COM
pensated according to the degree Of their disa-
bility from the site fund
The 20 per cent. Of injured employees who have
been successful after protracted litigation, cover
ing many months, and frequently one. two and
three years, in recovering damages have been PAID
the average of 25 per cent of the amount OBJ
tanned in lawyers fees and court costs
The new law is based on the principle that the
