There seems to be no doubt that Mr. Garh rett legally holds the position. He could not fail to prove his claim after having been chosen three times. Charles B. Evans feels that he suffered a personal loss in the Atlantic City fire.

He had been accustomed to stopping at the Hotel Luray, and one of his pleasures was to sit upon the of that hotel, smoke and watch This sumpavilion, mer he was at the popular resort for a time, but missed the pavilion, which had been destroyed by fire hotel, and did not care to remain here.

Colonel Henry A. duPont pays personal attention to his fine farm at Winterthur, and his friends say that he is an expert farmer. He watches everything closely, and it is related that he once excused himself from an engagement with friend on the ground that he was hauling a. in hay and the matter needed his attention.

Willard Saulsbury will shortly leave for Portsmouth, N. to spend the remainder of the summer. While he has been here he has learned all the political news, and it is expected that he will study out some new plans while he is resting in New England. What surprises his friends most is that the Boston newspapers have not found that he is at his usual summer home and interviewed him on the Delaware situation. The cigar holders presented to the members of City Council by Henry R.

Smith, the member of the Eleventh ward who has just returned Germany, ought to have a double value to them. Mr. Smith gathered the amber himself and had the holders made. In order to do this it was necessary for him to escape the vigilance of the government officers who patrol the seacoast to prevent anyone but government employes getting the amber. It is believed that J.

A. Meechem is the tallest man in this city. He stands six feet, six and three-quarter inches in his stocking feet. It is thought that the next tallest man is the Rev. William J.

Bermingham, who is over six feet three inches. The Rev. George C. Hall, rector of St. John's Church, and archdeacon of Wilmington, is also considerably over six feet in height.

Misfortune appears to follow the Rev. H. Medley Price, rector of St. Luke's Reformed Episcopal Church. He was on Saturday called to Boston by a telegram, announcing that his father was dying.

Since coming to this city, a few months ago, a cousin of Mrs. Price died while on a visit here. Her mother was taken ill while attending the funeral and died a On Saturday the golf team of the Wilmington Country Club defeated Frankford by a score of 28 to 5. The score: Country Club. Frankford.

For several minutes yesterday afternoon Mrs. J. P. Wales stood guard at her home, Eighth and King streets, to warn passing pedestrians of a live wire that had broken and fallen to the street. Mrs.

Wales was apprised of the danger by some small boys.
