Militants were loud in their de-

because Of the inquiry into Miss En-

on which Miss Emerson was released.
They point out with scorn that for
weeks while the American girls was
said to be suffering horribly, her
mother and her British friends made
frantic appeals to all oficialdom to do
something to help her. But no Of

taken In the commons or elsewhere
until yesterday when the home secre-

RECITAL AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS.

The Recital at the home of S. John
Abbott on Tuesday evening, was an ar
tistic success. A select company of
music lovers were present and their en-
juyment of the program was evidenced
by the liberal applause. Miss NJ. Paul
inc Abbott, soprano sang in her usual
good form. Her rendering of the XVI
Century Song, "Have You Seen but a
Whyte Lille, was delightful and the
audience demanded an encore. The best
number was the Birthday Song, by
Wocdman, and it was an exceedingly
clever rendition of a difficult compost
ton. Mr. Mortimer Browning, pianist,
accompanied with grace, skill and sym
pathy. His Interpretation of the popu-
lar 'Humoresque, by Dvorak, was
very pleasing and was well received.
Mr. Browning's talent in composition
was admirably demonstrated by the
three numbers written by himself-nOta-
bly, the "Prelude in c. " The recital
closed with the familiar "Polonaise in
A major" Chopin. which was fitting
close to delightful evening.

NEEDS CLEANING UP.

An inspection of the property rears
along the west side of South Walnut
Street disclosed a woeful and dangerous
condition of affairs. At the rear of the
large dry goods store occupied by Thomas
Davis several wagon loads of old paper
was piled against the building, and as
this is always open to boys and others,
the chance for big and costly tlre was
alarming. The piles of rubbish about
Armory Hall caused the immediate
cleaning up of that structure inside and
out, while the accumulation of old boxes
and rubbish, dry as punk, ready for a
quick fire when a match was accident
ally dropped. was everywhere prevalent.
The insurance companies would have
reasonable cause for contest payment
of a fire loss which resulted from piling
waste paper and rubbish in conjunction
with buildings. It will pay the proprie-
tors better from a financial point of
view, as well as from a point of health,
to have this matter removed daily.

NO MORE WET" GOODS
FOR LOWER DELAWARE

Those who enjoy wet goods some
of whom received liquor last week while
the lid was off following the Adams
Express Company's order to deliver
the goods, had their supply cut short
again this week when the order was
rescinded. The order came after some
of the company's agents had been
arrested and held under bail for the
violation of the Hazel Law, and after
the attorney generals department had
made the emphatic announcement that
each separate delivery of liquor would
be considered a violation of the law by
the state officials. AS the second
violation carries with it a Jail sentence
if the offender is convicted, the agents
are understood to have been leary OF
delivering the goods. Following the
arrest of each agent the attorney
generals department steadfastly re-
fused to make a test case of any OF
those arrested. The state officials will
vigorously prosecute all of those who
have been arrested for the delivery OF
the wet goods. -
