The Coming Pilotage Conflict.

The Board of Philadelphia Port war
dens yesterday took action tending to
make the expected conflict between
Delaware and Pennsylvania, with refer
ence to the pilotage question, inevitable
if it was not so before.
The following resolutions were adopt
ted:
Resolved, That the master warden
be advised to receipt for all licenses
which pilots may offer for surrender.
Subject to the orders of the Board of
Wardens.
Resolved, That the master warden be
instructed to refuse to renew the licen-
ses of any pilot who shall have applied
for or received license under the laws
of the state of Delaware.
Mr.. Tucker, master warden, called at
tention to the fact that pilots were get
ting scarce. Many pilots have announ-
ced their intention of applying to Della
ware for license. The other day the
steamship Ohio came near having to
put to sea without pilot He then Of
fered the following resolution which
was adopted:
Resolved, that in order to prevent Sc
rious inconvenience to our merchants
through want of pilots, caused by resig-
nation or otherwise, the master warden
shall, on recommendation of the Pilot
committee, issue certificates to such
persons as the said committee may
deem qualified, authorizing them to act
as pilots on the bay and river Della
ware when, in the Judgment of the Pi-
lot committee, the same may be neces-
sary in accordance with the 10Th section
of the act of May, 1903.

JUDGE HoGE's LECTURE.-The
audience, which assembled in the Y
M. G. A. Hall, on Friday evening of
last week, to hear the lecture of Hon.
Jro. Blair Hoge, on 'the relation of
Society to Law was a very large
and appreciative one, notwithstand-
ing the fact that many of his friends
were in attendance upon one or an
other of the three church meetings,
which were in active progress on
that evening.
The Judges theme was difficult
one, to bring within the compass
usually expected by popular andi-
ence; but we think all who heard
him will admit that he succeeded
entirely in interesting them in 1t, by
means OF his very attractive and
graceful style; aided no doubt, by
the intelligence of his audience. 1t
cannot be doubt that his lecture was
very instructive; and every one
must have been impressed with the
fact, which he so clearly demonstra-
ted, that men, generally, do not ap-
preciate the gravity and Importance
OF this subject, apd do not inform
themselves of the real relation which
exists between society and law.

FULL TO OvERFLOWING.-We
have often heard of gospel measure,
but when you come to saying any

say 'why you have as large a stock

no single dealer in hardware has as
large or as full an assortment of
goods as Crump.

however, they are at a premium of
five dollars advance on the hundred

pretty good showing for Berkeley
county, and in the event of an ex-
