AN ACT similar to that presented by
Senator Richardson in the Delaware Leg
islature, relating to the payment Of the
full amount Of insurance policies, is
under consideration by the Pennsyiva-
mia Legislature The insurance agents

the sentiments Of many Of the members
are in its favor. The opponents
of the bin stoutly insist that II offers a
premium for incendiarisn, as shown in
abe four states in which its principles are

say has increased far in excess, rela-

To the Editor OF EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir: Would you please inform me
through the JOURNAL whether citizen
of New Jersey or Pennsylvania can fish
in the Delaware river2 If he can; can
he bring his fish into Delaware to sell
them2 We have law that reads can
act for the Protection of Fishermen. y
But it would take powerful magnifying
glass to show where it protects anyone,
except the squire that gets % or 80 cents
from each fisherman who is so unfortu-
nate as to live in Delaware. The state
gets no revenue and the fisherman get nc
protection from it. Would it not be
well to put that act in the Orphans
Home as its father is dead. Yours, a

handiwo,k and also in the generosity Of her
sons. To the monument dedicated here to-
day the late Governor Bodwell was gener-
Gus giyer-
Maine is represented by some of her choice
granite in this instrument. The base and
pedestal were furnished by the Bodwell
Granite Company Of Rockland, and the
statue of Faith, the largest modern granite
statue in the world, by the IIallowell Gran
lie Company. Faith stands in AL easy natu-
raj pose. her Grecian drapery falling in rich
and clinging folds about her form. Her
calm and placid face is bent downward. In
her left hand is an open Bible, while her ex-
tesded right hand, with its upward pointing
index finder, calls upon the beholder to look
upward and to trust in higher power. In
the heavy slab upon which the statue stands
is a piece of Plymouth Rock. The fourteen
blocks of stone which compose the figure,
were quarried in 1875, and were estimated
to weigh four hundred tons, the statue fin
ished weighing one hundred and eighty tons.
