After J. A. Prichet of the Iron Mountain yesterday signed an agree ment binding that railroad to erect retaining wall on the east side of Valley street and keep that thor oughfare open so that wagons could pass, Mayor McClendon, acting for the city, signed the ordinance passed by the city council last Monday night, which gives the railroad the closing of the two streets they claim is necessary to proper handling of their business.
 The announcement was also made that in St. Louis today the contract would be let for the building of the passenger station here under the un- altered plans that had formerly been submitted to the Young Mems Cham Der of Commerce in this city and which are now in the office of the city clerk.
 The plans call for one-story structure. but one of a "Y' shape, which it is claimed will cost about s42,0o0 for the depot in itself, and which is said to be more hand some depot than is usually built in city the size of Hot Springs. The contract also provides for the cree. ton of train sheds for the comfort and convenience of passengers alight- ing from trains in bad weather. and it is said will also have a special pro vision for the comfort of the public after they have gotten from the trains and until they reach the ve- hicles which usually meet the trains.

1t was reported yesterday that Gov ernor George W. Hays would be in Hot Springs Friday, where on that evening at the Arlington hotel he would hear from the bondsmen who signed the surety for Big Charlie' Wilt, who when under a bond Of $I0,- Oo0, left Hot Springs and never re- turned.
 The executions against the bonds men had been issued some time ago and are in the hands of the sheriff.
 Wilt was the first of the men charged with the swindles here to make his escape. He got away as far as Little Rock, and while waiting there to get in communication with a woman who had been known here as his wife. he was located by George .P Wilmington, then deputy prose, cutting attorney and was arrested by Constable Jones and brought back to Hot Springs
 Wilt was placed in jail gn a charge of grand larceny and his bond fixed at 2o,0o0, but later on a petition be- fore Judge Gotham, the bond was re- duced to $l0,000. and after some delay it was made. Wilt was ont of prison a few days in Hot springs, after which hc announced he was going back to Omaha, his former home. and that he would return when wanted. Instead, he skipped the country and has never been heard from since
 There seems no doubt but that the bondsmen made a thorough effort tJ locate Wilt, but he could never be found. There was a forfeiture taken on the bond, and later an appeal from the forfeiture was taken to the supreme court of the state, but the court action here was sustained by

Delaware College
Orchestra Concert

On Friday evening, May %, the
Delaware College Orchestra, by
this time famous throughout the
whole State, will give its final con-
cert Of this season in the College
Oratory. Needless to say, this
will be the most enjoyable musical
occasion which Newark has had
for some time. After the concert
given by the orchestra last We'd
nesday night at the Century Club,
the Wilmington papers spoke in the
highest terms of the work which
the college boys did. No other or
chestra in the State gives such
pleasing readings Of the popular
classics and plays with such gen
eral good effect Delaware College
should be proud, indeed, to possess
such creditable musical organiza-
ton. The boys deserve the sup
port of every one in Newark.
Mr.. Levin, the cellist whose work
III the last Newark concert called
forth so much favorable comment,
will play again on this occasion.
Mrs. Leonard e. Wales, who is
the soloist, is so well known in this
vicinity and her work SO generally
appreciated, that any comment on
her singing is almost superfiuous.
She assisted the orchestra during
It's trip down State and in each
town at which she sang, she was re-
celved with great applause. The
mere fact that so accomplished an
artist as Mrs. Wales is to assist the
orchestra should be sufficient to
draw large crowd.

resolution has been introduced in the South Carolina
Legislature which proposes amendment to the State Con
tuition absolutely limiting the of clemency in the Execu

a board Of pardons to his official attention
Moreover it proposed that the Governor in the event he
refuses accept recommendation Of the pardon board shall
submit to the Legislature for review his for refusing the
that they be either approved vetoed by that hon

The power Of clemency Is necessary in all Governments

it to possible miscarriage So important the power of elem

Naturally, therefore, all the
men and women everywhere who
profit out of these things are
at one in Directing to the plays
and performances which expose
them. This we can understand.
What is also clear is that men
and women who have no profit in
such evil, but, while themselves
entirely honest persons, have per-
suaded themselves that the toll
Grafton of vice is necessary in
our cities, or, more probably, have
accepted without thought this
doctrine from a past generation,
and can sit through the average
vaudeville suggestiveness with
out discomfort, join in opposition
to the policy of letting in the
light They are consistent with
themselves.
1t is perfectly consistent for an
honest police official to tolerate a
segregated district and censor a
play which attacks it. No dis
honor is involved. Such an Of
fetal only stands for the con-
sistency of folly
Some few men, and fewer wo-
men, whose lives have been de-
voted to this warfare against
wrong. unite with the others in
an attempt to censor a perform
ance which would bring to the
light the evils they are fighting.
Some Of these censors have
grown old. Some, like Anthony
Comstock. have grown extreme
ly tiresome.
And some have not yet caught
the inspiration of the new age
which is upon us They need
time. There is plenty Of time.
And in time the men and women
who were brought up to believe
that you can not touch pitch
without being defiled" will learn
that innocence is the gift Of God
which enables His children to
touch pitch without being de-
filed when 1t is encountered in
the path of duty The consist
ency of goodness will triumph
over the consistency of folly.
