Penn Club Plan
Reception Of Governor

A reception will be rendered the
Governor of Delaware, Hon. Chas.
r. Miller, on November 8 by the
Penn Club of Philadelphia, in the
membership of which many of the
oldest Delaware families are rep
resented.
Governor Miller will be accom-
panied by his staff and Edward
Randolph Wood, president of the
Penn Club, has suggested that it
would be agreeable to have these
officers come in full uniform.
The three counties Of Delawre,
New Castle, Kent and Sussex, were
originally part of the Province Of
Pennsylvania and it is expected
that the reception Of Governor Mill
er will serve to bring together
many kinsmen whose ancestry
dates back to the Colonies and be-
yond. A notable company always
attends the receptions Of the Penn
Club which has entertained many
of the most distinguished men in
all walks of American life.

Wilmington's New Theatre

Following closely upon the ac-
QUESTION of modern, frst-class
hotel, Wilmington again rejoices
over the completion of one Of the
most up-to-date theatres in the
country The new Playhouse To-
Gated in the DUPONT Building,
Tenth and Market streets, possesses
many striking features which place
it apart from the theatre in the av-
erage American city.
The plans were drawn by Chas.
A. Rich, the eminent New York
theatre architect, but their execu-
ton lay entirely in the hands Of J.
A. Bader and Co. Of Wilmington.
The interior decorations by Will
lam Eckhart of New York and Chi
cago, are unusually beautiful. But
perhaps the most striking thing in
the general appearance is the fact
that the first floor is not marred by
supports for the balcony. To in
sure the absolute safety of the bal
cony, it was tested by the builders
Newark post., 1913-10-29

by being loaded with 10000
pounds of cement, equal to the
weight of twice as many people as
can be put into it.
Another interesting feature in
the construction of the building is
the big girder, the largest concrete
girder in a theatre anywhere and
the third largest in the world. 1t
weighed 120 tons and the concrete
was poured in at the rate of over
$4,000 pounds an hour.
Mr.. Bader, the builder, is receiv-
ing congratulations from all sides
upon his success in carrying out
the plans of the architect and in
completing the work in less than
contract time, in spite Of unfor-
seen difficulties. The building
proves that the local company is as
well prepared as the largest met
ropolitan builders to handle
promptly such big undertaking.

pone action until this evening when

New Real Estate Assessment

Wilmington s new real estate as
sessment will cost probably $40, 900
but is expected to increase revenue
largely and permit big cut in

the work of listing and valuing
properties and Charles G. Kurtz,
E. p. Moody and w. H. Gibbons,
prominent real estate brokers, will
supervise appraisements. Work

Thanksgiving Proclamation

President Wilson has designated
Thursday, November 27, as
Thanksgiving Day, and issued the
following, his first Thanksgiving
proclamation:
'"The season is at hand in which
it has been our long respected GUS
tom as a people to turn in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God
for His manifold mercies and bless
ings to us as nation. The year
that has just passed has been
marked in peculiar degree by
manifestation of His gracious and
benefcent providence. We have
not only had peace throughout our
own borders and with the nations
of the world, but that peace has
been frightened by constantly null
tiplying evidences of genuine
friendship, of mutual sympathy
and understanding and of the hap
py operation Of many elevating in
fuences both Of ideal and Of prac-
tice.
"The nation has been prosperous
not only, but has proved its capac-
ity to take calm counsel amidst the
rapid movement of affairs and deal
with it's own life in spirit of can
dor, righteousness and comfy. We
have seen the practical completion
of a great work at the Jsthmus of
Panama which not only exempli-
fies the nation s abudant resources
to accomplish what it will and the
distinguished skill and capacity OF
it's public servants, but also prom
ises the beginning of new age, OF
new contracts, new neighborhoOds,
new sympathies, new bonds and
new achievements of cooperation
and peace. Righteousness exalteth
a nation and peace on earth, good
will towards men furnish the only
foundations upon which can be
built the lasting achievements IF
the human spirit. The year has
brought us the satisfaction OF work
well done and fresh visions of our
duty which will make the work OF
the future better still.
"Now, therefore, l, Woodrow
Wilson, President Of the United
States of America, do hereby desig-
nate Thursday the 9th OF Novem-
Der next, as day of thanksgiving
and prayer and invite the people
throughout the land to cease from
their wonted occupations and in

state factory inspector for the ten
hour law for women, was introduc-
ed by Miss Mary Hutchin. She
spoke briefly on the provisions of
the new ten-hour law for women,
urging cooperation Of all the club
women Of the state. The library

being done by the state library COM
mission and conditions are promis-
ing. The social service committee
reported that Delaware City will

early in November and that other
clubs are writing for information.
The better baby show of the Del
aware state fair was reported to
have been a great success and to
have brought forward number of
beautiful children to the credit of
Delaware. The chairman urged
that in the towns having contests
not only the finest children but
those babies below average should
be brought to the contest that they
might be helped to come up to the
avrage.
The federation appointed a COM
mittee to deal with the incident at
the state fair for which Miss Bis

ACTIVITIES
OF CLUB WOMEN
EXECUTIVE COMMUTE MEETS AT SMYRNA

The first executive board meet
ing Of the Delaware State Fedora
ton Of Women s Clubs was held
Thursday at Smyrna when prac-
tically all the clubs in the state
were represented. The business
sessions were held at the Twentieth
Century Club, and at noon the dele
gates were entertained at luncheon
by Mrs. Samuel /. Reynolds, the
new president.
They were welcomed at the sta
ton by Mrs. Harry Tschudy and
Miss Agnes Carrow and taken to
the club house in automobiles. The
president made a very gracious
welcome. An invitation from the
various State Equal Suffrage Asso-
Citations to send fraternal dele
gate to their state conventions on
November 6 was not accepted, be-
cause it is not customary to send
delegates to other women s organ
izations and because as all club wo-
men are not in sympathy with wo-
men s suffrage, the executive board
could not take the initiative.
A request was received from
Pennsylvania and New Jersey to
join with them in an invitation to
entertain the General Federation
at Atlantic City in 1916. Decision
was reserved until more definite in
formation would be Forthcoming.
The president was directed to ap-
point at her leisure five delegates
to the National Conservation Con-
gress which meets in Washington,
November Is, 1920, an invitation
having been received from that
body. The treasurer, Mrs. Madi-
son Willen reported about $10S,
and various committees were allow
ed appropriations.
The chairman Of the reel iprocity
committee, Miss Mary Hutchin,
spoke Of the needs all over the
state for better schools for negro
people. In the matter Of housing,
many of the negro schools are very
badly off. The general subject of
better housing for negro people
needs attention, as some Of the ne
groes live in novels where animals
would hardly be stabbed. Mrs.
Harry Hayward, for the education
al committee. and Mrs. o. V. Woot-
ten, both spoke of the necessity for
more manual training in all the
Delaware schools. Milford, Dover
and Wilmington all reported man.

arts and crafts as well as the edu.
cational committee pledged itself tc

of the affiliated college and spoke
upon them. This naturally created

THE THAW CASE.

Harry Thaw is still in Candian ter.
ritory yet he.islikely to be. somewhere
else in the next day or so. The
New York authorities are trying to
get him over into Vermont : if he is
turned loose and hope to land him
in a high-powered auto and rush
him across the New York State line
before any one can modest or make
afraid" On the other hand a hard
fight will be made to keep him out
of New York state and the Thaw
millions will again be turned loose
among the lawyers, or at least sew
eral thousand dollars will.
LATER-Yesterday Thaw was
released BY the Dominion officials
and in three minutes afterwards was
taken in charge by the immigration
Bureau and carried to Coaticook,
Quebec, where today a special board
will set upon his case. 1t is predict
ed that he will be thrust across the
Vermont border as an undesirable
alien and that before many hours
viii be back in Matteawan ASYLUM.
II looks as if they are determined to
perseclfae the poor, unfortunate fel-
low to the end.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

| am instructed by the City Coun-,
ell to inform the public that in the
future no streets shall be allowed to
be opened within the city limits ex-
eept by and under the direction of
the Mayor and the Commissioner Of
Streets, and that such streets as
have recently been opened, which
do not conform to the standard
width or meet the requirements of
the city, may be widened or re-
located at the pleasure OF 4he Coun-
Gil.
The above action has been made
necessary on account of the fact
that real estate operators and owners
have in some instances disregarded
the necessity for laying out new,
streets of proper width and so as to
conform or intersect with present
Streets
Persons contemplating develop
ment of land within the city limits
are advised to confer with the Mayor
and Commissioners of Streets ard
submit plans for contemplated i'm
provements for the approvul Of the
Council.

If FRED N. TATE, Mayor.
