FAyORs BOULEVARD.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
sir:--The recent fire in Rehoboth
Beach, Delaware. has caused the
Board OF Commissioners to take i'm
mediate steps to avoid another such
calamity. They have realized the
danger Of procrastination. A special
meeting Of the Board was held yes
terday morning. and it decided that
as the Governor OF Delaware had
signed the bill authorizing them TO
bond the town for $4,000 FOR water
works, they would not wait six weeks
to receive the. votes OF the taxpayers,
but would take matters into their own
hands and have the work commenced
Immediately so that by June first the
water system will be installed
A large number OF buildings wiped
out by the fire OF the morning OF
the 22nd were old camp-meetine
houses which had been used as such
when Rehoboth was Methodist
camp-mee;ing ground 3S years ago;
but several very good houses were
also destroyed, among which was
Henry w. Diapers Of Washington
d. c. He had only recently built bis
cottage and IL was among the best
In Rehoboth. Others were John A
Lingo. owner and proprietor Of the
Atlantic Hotel, a large four-story
frame building. He used the entire
basement as a department and gro
cery store and catered TO the major
ity Of the residents His place was
stored with an unusually large sup.
ply Of goods for the summer trade
Mr. lingo has wife and six little
children. lie suffered loss of $40.
600, and his business. store, hote
aud home is totally destroyed. A. w
Dick suffered a similar heavy loss;
his store, residence and several of his
buildings were consumed in the
Flames. Both Mr.. Lingo and Mr.
Dick have typical country stores sup.
plying the town with provisions and
dry goods. The food supply has al
most entirely been cut off TO the
town and food stuffs are being sent
from Loves. a town six miles distant

DUPONT BOULEVARD.
From the Dover Index.

FROM the Dover lnueA.
Whether the Legislature wishes to
repeal the dupont boulevard law or
grant Mr., duPonts request that the
law be amended in many important
particulars. or to do nothing at all in
that line. there is one sure thing and
that is that the people want a road.
and If need be are willing to have the
state bonded TO build such a road A
Legislative committee with the Attor-
new General and other legal advice, is
about to undertake the work Of try
ing to put Mr. duPonts promises and
assertions into shape. Among these
are the expressed willingness to Wild
en- the road for vehicular travel
to forty feet. to consent. if il is in
sisted on. 10 cutting the width Of the
boulevard to one hundred feet and the
readiness TO pay the value of the land
taken. Mr. duPont's statement before
the Legislature recently that he was
not only willing TO pay the value OF
the land taken but would agree with
every one whose land was taken to
pay for the whole land a part Of which
h taken. Ave times its assessed value
fye years from that time, seems to
render it unnecessary to consider the
amendment asked for. giving the
commission to condemn rights OF
way the power to assess benefits as
well as damages. II Mr. dupont is
sincere there should be little difficulty
/ for the Legislature to meet him in
fair and satisfactory way and the Law
can then be amended in manner thai
will not only give Mr.. dupont whal
he is entitled to- but so as to safe
guard the rights of citizens whicf
were so grossly disregarded by the
last Legislature.

THE TEN.HOUR LAW.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
The ten-hour law now being dis
cussed at Dover should be passed
without any further argument OF
course the bill is not what it should
be. but it is step in the right direc-
tion. Had the bill included every call
ing where women and girls are en-
ployed, and no exceptions made. it
would have been more equitable The
objection of Mr. Grifenberg. manager
Of the Reynolds Candy Company. that
it is unfair to him, is just one, and
Is an additional illustration of the
rottenness of special legislation that
allows women working in restaurants
to work any old hours and restricting
girls working in ice cream parlors
TO ten hours. When it is remembered
that some of the restaurants do as
large a business in ice cream as many
OF the ice cream parlors, Mr.. Griffen-
berg's objections show all the more
plainly What the girls and women
should do is 10 help themselves by
forming a Clerks Union affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
and then demand an eight-hour day;
price and a half for overtime and
double time for holidays and Sundays.
That would be the proper and sensible
plan. and give the legislature more
! time to work on the more important
measures for Wilmington, such as Civ
ing the city back its river front lands,
and passing the enabling act that
would give Wilmington a chance to
have home rule. What applies TO the
clerks in the stores also applies to
every calling where girls and women
are employed. the laundry, the house
hold the office, the hello girl and all
OF them with the exception Of the poor
wife who will get here when votes
for women Will have come TO stay.

A pIsGusTED BOOMER.
hi Id Mllford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle
All patriotic spirit as well as civic
pride appears to be dead in the town
OF Milford, and for proof Of this
statement, it is only necessary to call
attention to the fact, that even over
the United States Post Office. the ARM
ory Of the local militia company. the
stores. the residences or other places
in Milford there was not one National
Flag floating during the day of Feb
ruary 22nd. which was the annivers-
ary Of the birthday of George Wash
ngton The various banking institu-
tions were closed during the day, but
we suspect that a desire for a holi-
day among the employees of those in
stitutions. was a more potent factor
in bringing about the recognition OF
the day, than any inherent spirit OF
patriotism How can we expect those
) who follow after us TO be patriotic
! citizens with deep seated love or
/ their country and state, when we fail
! TO recognize the national and state
legal holiday? When we fail to have
/ the flag of our country displayed at
such times it is proof Of lack OF in
/ tcrest IN public affairs, and no coun-
/ try can advance with citizens actu-
ated by selfish motives alone, Pity
/ tis. It's true. These thoughts we're the
/ result OF the coming into Milford
about two O'Clock n the afternoon or
a carriage in which were a gentleman,
a lady and a small boy and girl. the
latter two we're waving two Ameri-
can flags, proclaiming TO all that the
story OF Washington had been told 10
the children OF that family, and that
this farmer and his family we're not
living in selfish consideration Of their
own affairs TO the exclusion OF tho
balance OF the world. We will wager
that the family of ,his patriotic farm
er citizen Is far happier than others,
who may have as much OF this
worlds goods. or more. The Chron-
icle once and the Milford Building
Loan Association were the only
places so far as we we're able to see,
where the national flag was displayed
on the anniversary of the birth OF
George Washington.
tt is little use for the local editor

NOT A PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
From the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
It appears that the objection to the
bill giving votes to women because It
would give votes to colored women. is
likely to prevail When that objection
was raised. the fate Of the bill was
fixed. So would any bill be defeated
that by any possibility added vote TO
the Republican party. Convinced OF
that-and we supposed every advocate
of the bill was so convinced-we ad-
mire the heroism of the good women
who came to Dover to plead for a
cause already defeated
II is fair to assume that all advo.
Gates OF votes for women are now thor
oughly convinced that the Democratic

NAME.CHANGE LEGIsLATION.

From the Dover Index.
Governor Miller, by his veto Of the
bills changing the names of certain
persons has set a check to a class of
legislation that has been more or less
common and usual. and not often
abused, but at the same time proba-
bly, unnecessary. The Legislature
should not be troubled with such mat
ters. especially when as in the un-
savory DUPONT case, there is more or
less scandal and lobbying
AS Governor Miller says, the change
OF a name needs no statute. II can
be accomplished without Legislative
sanction. and it is a good thing to
keep such matters out Of the Legis-
lature.
