citizens of Wilmington would approve
the plan.
Col. Stover disagreed with Mr.. Bay
nard that 100 per cent. of the citizens
would approve the act and stated that
it is easy enough to ask for money but
another question as to where il should
be raised. Relative TO the new assess
ment Col. Stover declared that the citi-
zens OF Wilmington has been promised
material reduction in their tax rate
under the new system and they had a
right to expect it. He believed that be-
fore serving on any of the city boards
the members of the boards should first
serve term in Council to see the diff
Guilty Council has to make the financial
ends meet.
Mr.. Baynard suggested that Council
could borrow money, but Colonel
Stover declared emphatically that un-
less something went radically wrong
that Council would not borrow any
money this year, as Council was un-
/ der obligations 10 wind up the year
with a clean slate, If possible He
/ believed the Board of Education
should have lived within its appro-
priation just as any corporation is
compelled to live within its means,
and remarked that when a corpora
tion fails to live within its means the
result is bankruptcy.
An argument then resulted between
\ Mr. Baynard and Colonel Slower
which was similar to the one the pair
participated in two weeks ago. in
which Mr.. Baynard called attention
to the fact that Council had been ask
ed TO increase the appropriation last
year to care for the new school in the
Ninth ward, while Colonel Slower de.
clared that he did not believe that this
school had been a necessity as there
were several schools in the city with
empty rooms in them. Mr.. Baynaro
remarked that il was impossible tc
send children from one district into
another to attend school, as the par.
ents insisted that their children
should attend school in the ward they
live in.

Application for a liquor license by
Frank Halloren, Of No. II East Sec
ond street, was approved by Judges
Woolley and Rice i'm the Court Of Gem
eral Sessions tlfis morning. The ap-
plication was opposed by the Law and

that Mr.. Halloren was not a proper

since he purchased the property from
Edward J. McCann he has been con-

All the applications for liquor IL

Judge Barhorst Testifes Rheuma Has
Given Permanent Relief to Many
Sufferers.
No matter how many so-called RENE
dies for rheumatism you have tried, do
not be skeptical about the wonderful
curative power of Rheuma.
There is no other preparation like
Rheuma, and it goes to work so quickly
as to leave no doubt in your mind as
to the ultimate successful and perma-
nent relief. One dose daily acts on the
diseased kidneys, blood and joints more
readily than any other known remedy.
Il cleans out the "human sewers" and
thus purifics the entire system.
Il, John Barhorst, Justice of the Peace
of Mclean Township, TT. Loramie, Ohio
do certify that after treatment by
three doctors without result, I was
cured of very bad case of rheumatism
by using two bottles of Rheuma. II is
now two years since l used the remedy
and / am still as well as ever. Prev
ious to using Rheuma, ! was cripple

Rheuma to at least a dozen persons, and
each one speaks as highly Of il as IL
You can secure a bottle of Rheuma

MEDIATORS Will NOT
RECEIVE REBEL delegate
Br FRED 5. FERGUsON.

United Press STAFF Correspondent
NIAGARA FALLS Ont, May o.
Every indication this afternoon point
ed to refusal Of the A. B. c. mediators
formally to receive a representative Of
the Mexican Constitutionalists. If
Jose Vasconcelos, delegate of the Car
ranzistas arrives here. he will be re-
garded by the ENJOYS merely as a
newspaper man." but not in any Off
cial capacity.
Conferences with the Huerta dele
gates developed that the Mexicans
we're willing to let the ENJOYS decide
the matter. The ambassadors there
upon we're understood to have adopted
the view that as General Carranza has
refused to suspend hostilities and
formally participate in the peace con-
ference, he cannot formally be~recog-
nized
AS the suggestion that Vasconcelos
come to Niagara Falls was said to
have been Secretary Bryan's. it was
expected that the mediators might en-
counter pressure from the State De-
partment, looking to some other sort
of a reception Tor the Carranza repre-
sentative.

TOOK BISHOP AT HIS WORD
Footman May Have Been Consider
ably Astonished But He Was
There to Obey Orders.

Bishop Brindle, the well-known Eng
fish clergyman, sometimes tells this
story against himself. Dining at Sir
Evelyn Woods he narrated the old
story of the small boy who. going to
a party. was instructed to refuse cake,
as he had not been very well. But
suppose they ask me again, mummy"
he said. 'Oh, you must still say, No.
thank you" And II they ask me
again." "Oh, they wouldn't be so
rude as to do that. Now, II is time
you were Off" The small boy re-
turned home in tears. Asked what
had happened, he replied: Wei,
mummy. they asked me to have cake,
and | said, No thank you; and they
asked me again, and said. No, thank
you; and then they asked me again,
and | said just like daddy says. Take
the dam thing away"
At that moment a passing footman
caught the bishops last words, and
with a start swooped down on his
half-finished plate, and bore 1t away.

always to be found different opinions
as to just how various details should
be worked out. for 1t would be indeed
strange and unhealthy il there we're
no differences. Yet the success of
these organizations come out of the
fact that there are certain basic prin-
ciples in which all are interested. In
dividuals, who believe things are not
right, should stand for what they
think is right and endeavor to make
the fight within the organization. II
things do not always come just as you
would like, the thing to do is to en-
