OFFERED TO
HANG SELF AT
BARGAIN PRICE

Declaring that if anyone would give
him a dollar he would hang himself, a
colorod man created quite a sensation
in the vicinity of Fourth and King
streets yesterday afternoon. The
man carried a stout rope in his hand
and attracted much attention by open
ly declaring that if anyone would give
him 81 the giver would have an op-
portunity to watch a first-class sui
eide as for that sum of money the
man would hang himself Persons
VINO saw the man and noted his condi-
tion believed he would carry out his
threat had anyone offered the price.
IL was apparent that the man was
suffering from the effects of drink or
a drug as he shouted and sang and
otherwise conducted himself as an in
sane man. AT the northeast corner Of
Fourth and King streets he waved the
rope in the air and shouted at the top
OF his voice that for one dollar he
would hang himself with the rope. No
one cared to witness such deed,
however and no one offered the money
The last seen of the reckless negro he
was walking east on Fourth street
singing at the top OF his voice, with
the rope clutched in his hand. His
identity was not ascertained.

The Spirit OF Winter is with US,
making It's presence known in many
different ways-sOmetimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS. and
sometimes by driving winds and
binding storms. To many people II
seems to take a delight I'm making bad
things worse, for rheumatism twists
harder twinges sharper catarrh be-
comes more annoying. and the many
symptoms of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this, but there is truth. and
il is a wonder that more people don't
get rid of these ailments. The
medicine that cures them-Hood's
Sarsaparilla-is easily obtained and
there is abundant proof that its cures
arc radical and permanent.

propriations from Congress are made in
the future as they have been IN the
past. according TO statements made at
the meeting of tine executive committee
ON the improvement of the harbor Of
Philadelphia in the Bourse yesterday.
Colonel Zinn. United States Engineer
in charge. said he could not push the
work any faster because of the scarcity
of drcdQcs and for economic reasons.
Congressman Oonohoc of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, said Congress would
probably appropriate Sl00O00O next
year. The engineer has recommended
81 00O0O0 for the work. and there was
vet $4,000 from last years appropria'
tion which remained uncXpended.
Colonel linn, asked why this amount
remained uneNpcnded, said the question
was an engineering one. There were few
bids on dredging work. as 1t did not pay.
The S1l0n00 is an under contract and
the spending OF this amount could not

s4n0OOOO had becn spent ON the channel

of the river II was only POO feet wide.
Ex State Senator William j. Bradley
said he had never seen the scarcity OF

Iiun complained.
Cougrcssmen Edmonds. Logue and
Donohoc urged Colonel Znn TO push the
work alone and "eat mp the appropria-
ton as last MS possible. as the uneN'

stumbling block 70 getting larger ap-

were that the 35-foot channel should be-

LENES. Del, Jan. lO-S Since the re-
cent storm az Rchoboth Beach. the
problem of making permanent repairs
to the resort is now being considered
by the Board OF Town Commissioners.
Several of the citizens are in favor of
buikheading the entire water front. so
as to protect the streets and property
there, as we'll as the boardwalk This
source of protection would be such an
expensive proposition that it is almost
ont of the question and the citizens are
giving the matter careful consideration.
Some are suggesting that an effort be
made to secure legislative authority to
turn the front land over to owners of
abutting property where they will
agree TO hulkhoad it according to some
permanent and substantial plan that
might be devised, but this is likely TO
be opposed 10y persons who insist upon
the front remaining public property.
Should this plan be devised it would
result in the abolition of Surf avenue.
The ones in favor of this proposition
seem 10 think that this plan would he

enable people 70 have shops along the
boardwalk the same as IN Atlantic
city and other resorts. II would also
result in permanent protection of the
water front These different ideas will
no doubt be considered at the next
