A Portuguese Solomon.

A Solomon sat in Judgment the
other day on the case of a young an
archist, who having conceived a
grievance against the forces of order
in the young republic of Portugal,
appointed himself executioner OF a
judge Of the tribunal of social de-
Tense, which had ordered imprison-
ment Of his lawless comrades. After
firing a shot which gravely wounded
but did not kill the judge, the assas-
sin was arrested and protected with
great difficulty against the Infatuated
populace. To the governor of Lisbon.
before whom he was arraigned, he
defiantIy asserted that he had the
right" to take the law into his own
hands. The news account of the Incl

Chinese Lily Fine Plant.

One of the most successful bulbs
for house culture is the Chinese sa-
cred lily, a variety of the narcisscs
which is imported from China. Place
in dish about three inches deep,
put in one and a half inches of sand,
and cover with one inch of gravel,
white pebbles, or broken marble. On
this set the bulbs to prevent them
from floating. Place them in sunny
window, and they will bloom perfect
~. The flowers are white. with a yell
low-tinted cup, the stems having a
truss, with from threee to seven
blooms. The Chinese cut away the
hard skin on the top of the bulb
which seems to facilitate the growth,
but in cutting, one must be careful to
cut only one-eighth of an inch in
depth, or the leaf growth will be in
jured.

Chicago. Dec. S.--Rains in Argen
tina and news from indianapolis
about plans to finance exports gave
considerable strength to the wheat
market today. but reaction soon
took place. Selling, in which houses
with eastern connections were con-
spicuous. proved soon to be more than
d counterbalance for the bullish fac
tors which had developed over night.
Bears contended that urgent foreign
buyin.y of wheat in the United States
was nsaring an end and was likely to
be followed by reselling. Initial quo
tation.,, which ranged from u to IN
cents higher with December at
s1.71A to S1.72 and March at s1.67A
to s1.7o, were succeeded by breaks to
we'll below Yesterdays finish.
Later the market rallied owing
largely to removal of hedges on L.
100000 bushels OF Canadian wheat
taken by the British royal commits
sion. Besides, Italy was said to have
bought 25o.00O bushels OF durum.
The market closed unsettled, u to u
cents net lower. with December at
$1.69 and March at $1.66& to s1.67.
Corn.
In corn as well as in wheat there
was persistent eastern selling, AZ
ter opening unchanged to q cent
higher, including May at 76% to Tx
cents, the market underwent q gen
eral sag.
The close was nervous at e cent
net decline to rs cent advance, with
May ct 761s to 1855 cents.
Oats.
Oats were governed chiefly by the
action of other grain, starting n cent
off to u cent higher. with May at
SIN to 52h cents, and then tending
upward.
Provisions.
Provisions showed firmness in line
with the hog market.

writer's reports and the local papers,
besides that matter covers another
phase OF the work, which will have 70
be investigated and discussed fully
before any definite purchases or
plans are made.
I'VE ind that mosttcltles in chang
ing from the volunteer TO a paid de-
partment start the work through the
aid Of an enabling act passed by state
! legislatures which either gives the
/ Mayor and Council authority 20 es-
| tablish a department or puts the mat.
| ter up 10 the people TO decide az
some special election. The irst
/ course Is the one mostly adopted,
! An instance OF the people deciding is
! In Jamestown, n. Y: the paid de-
partment was established in 1911 but
they olly had a one-shift system
which was not altogether satisfac-
| tory. and in January OF this year a
special election was held 20. decide
on The advisability OF establishing or
/ Installing a twO-platoon system. THIS
system is now in effect
I'VE find various periods elapse
]
paid departments are established
| carrying from six months 10 over
year, size Of departments and general
conditions governing same
I'VE know OF no cities that put the
entire detail Of the proposed changes
in their bills or ordinances: all. have
lbeen OF an authoritative nature which
gave power 10 certain bodies 90 ere
ate departments when at their dis
creti0n they considered IL proper e
do so. We. therefore, recommen,
that this procedure De followed b,
this body. and further recommend
that a bin such as the attached b'
presented 10 The Delaware Legislat
ure and that City Council go on rec
ord as unanimously favOring same.
Respectfully submitted.
