MAMMALIAN HARDEN.

One by one Germany is beginning to
send her ambassadors of good will TO
this country. First came Professor
Einstein, of relatively fame. Now
New York lecture bureau announces
that Macmillan Harden, the fiery edi-
tor of Die Zukunft, who gained much
notoriety during the war by opposing
many Of the Kaiser's war aims. is to
come and talk to us on 1.-THE Politi-
cal Future of Europe" and THE In
dustriaI Future Of Europe"
AS Harden will discuss matters
which are within the mental horizon
of the average intelligent man, we may
expect him TO attract and hold more
hearers than did Professor Einstein,
who limited himself to Zionism and
relativity-the former easily under
stoed. and the latter almost univer-
sally uncomprehended- 1t is certain
that Harden will receive the same cor
dial welcome, for there are many
here who remember that he has given
America warm friendship for many
years. At the time of the Spanish
American war the majority of German
editors sided with Spain Not so Har-
den: he championed our cause. though

was not until after the Kaiser had

express himself in print. The editor
had proved his point, although it teol

THE EVENING SMILE.

A small girl was on one occasion
travelling with her parents in a sleep
ing car. She had great objections TO
being put in an upper berth. but after
being told a guardian angel would be
watching over her all the time, she
was at last prevailed upon TO settle
down.
When everything was quiet for the
night a small voice piped, Mamma 2
Yes, dear"
You theTs?''
Yes. I'm here: now you go to sleep.
Papa, you thereg'
"Yes, I'm here: be a good little girl
and go to sleep"
Quietness reigned for some time and
then the questions were repeated, till
at last a fellow passenger lost his
patience and roared out: Yes, con-
found you, We're all here-your father
and mother and brothers and sisters
and uncles and auntsl"
After this there was a brief pause

THE MODERN TRUST COMPANY.


Sometimes the advertising columns
of newspaper are just as interestins
as the news section. Comes a staid
old trust company. and adyertises that
in the course of years business IT
performs some very unique acts on
behalf of the estates which it admins
ters. II you have an idea that a trust
company is an old fogy institution
which lacks the thrill of commercial
romance. then read over the following
list OF unusual services which certain
trust company. not so far away from
here. has rendered its clients:
/. Sent man TO Europe to locate
lost Jewels.
.. Managed a retail business.
3. Brought together brothers who
had not spoken to each other for years.
4. Met beneficiary at steamship dock
with funds for custom duties.
5. Provided for funeral of pet dog.
6. Acted as director in company
manufacturing holiday goods for chill
dren.
Z. Sold ducks.
S. Selected suitable school for
phan girl.
.. Found markets for medicinal
roots and herbs.
10, Located missing relatives In
eight States.
Now those are just some of the little
incidental things which a great tr,'~t
company performs in the course os
settling an estate. az one were to in
vestigate all departments. it would be
| found that a trust company performs
about every human service imagin-
able except to marry the young and
bury the dead--and even then a kindly
disposed trust officer is occasionally
asked to advise regarding those SER
vices.
Twentieth century civilization. as
differentiated from the age which inn
mediately preceded il. is notable for
the development of two great insti-
| tutions in community life-the one is
the department store. and the other.
of course. our trust company. The
FIRST named places under one roof
nearly every object that humans
need. from baby carriages and auto
mobile tires to needles and portable
houses. The last named groups under
one head a corps of specialists in the
commercial, industrial, realty, insur-
ance and banking field, who in the
course of their duties render almost
/ every service needed by man except
those which only the priest and the
physician can perform.
These two great institutions have
simplified modern life and made il
agreeable to a degree which the pre-
eeding generation. living in a hurly-
burly world which lacked a central
ization of forces, did not enjoy. After
young chap finishes In school and
starts in business there are two
things which he should do, if nothing
else: first ascertain what goods he
can procure from a reliable depart
ment store; the other is to find out
what services can be rendered him
throughout his life by the trained ex-
ecutives of a trust company. After
he has done that he can live in COM
parative peace, ease and happiness.
provided that he works like a Trojan
in working hours, plays hard before
sunset, keeps on good terms with
his wife, and sleeps soundly for sevan
hours or more and puts in an appear
ance at church at least once a week.

WHY THIS sECRECYf

W -
Every Evening last Saturday stated
cditorially that an expert sanitary
engineer was needed to investigate our
garbage problem, and to suggest a
way out OF the difficulty which is cm-
barrassing our municipal government.
The editorial in question stated in
part:
"with all due respect to our dis
tinguished Mayor. his council of citi-
zens. and the members of the Health
Board, we do not believe that any OF
those persons are qualified to point
the way to solution of this present
and most pressing problem.S which is
certain to eventually affect the health
of every resident. These persons have
shown that they are not capable Of
solving this problem. In their re-
spective fields OF private endeavor
they may be successful, but what VIII
mington needs, and must have inn
mediately, is the service of n sanitary
engineer, who is capable of making a
fair, efficient and impartial investiga-
ton of our garbage problem, and &ho
win show us how to remedy this dis
tressing situation"
The demand that sanitary engineer
be employed was repeated in another
editorial published by this paper yes
terday. Now. three days after the
first editorial appeared. comes this
letter from His Honor, Leroy Harvey
the Mayor OF Wilmington:
Editor Every Evening: 1t may
interest you TO know that about
week ago L secured from Mr.. Ed
gar NJ. Hopes. Jr., former city en-
gineer, the names OF several ex-
perts in the disposal of municipal
waste, particularly garbage, and
that am in correspondence with
one of these experts with the idea
of having a survey made of the
situation here in wilminton.
In my Judgment this question
of garbage disposal is purely a
business one. see no reason why
il cannot. with the proper ascer-
tainment of facts, be settled in a
business manner and to the per-
manent satisfaction of all citizens.
Very truly yours.
lie Roy Harvey, Mayor.
August Is, 1891.
Every business day for the pas
week newspaper reporters have asksa
Mr.. Harvey for further Developments.
on this garbage matter. Every da1
Mr.. Harvey has refused to make an,
statement to them. In fact on =.
casion he is said to have told fho-,
that there was nothing TO make pub
iic. Now If for a week Mr.. Harvo,
had been seeking to gain the services
OF an expert sanitary engineer. tha-
certainly was news-news of the mos
vital kind TO every resident in VII
mington.
We believe that Mr.. Harveyfs in.
tentions are good. We feel that h.
has the interests of Wilmington a,
heart. and really intends to try ane
give us a clean administration n
municipal affairs.

But ho,, simple il would have been
for Mr.. Harvey, about a week ago" TO
have notified the newspapers that he
had sought to employ a sanitary en-
gineer TO solve the garbage matter.
Instantly he would have been given
the approval of his feIlow-citizens
who would then have known that Mr..
Harvey was really trying to perform
his duties intelligently. But. instead
there were star-chamber sessions in
the City Hall; but the newspaper
reporters we're barred, and the public
was led to believe that nothing wa.
