WHEN there was a determined stand
taken by the lawyers of the State. a
consultation with, and the full concur
renee of the Legislature, it took but a
little time to effect a reform in the Ju.
eiciary of our State.
The joint caucus of both branches of
the Legislature held at Dover last
week decided to retire Chief Justice
COmegys and Associate Judge Houston
on pension of 1000 per year for life
leaving it of course optional with the
judges whether they would accept the
prOtter of the Legislature and retire.
Whilst public sentiment is not yet in
favor of a general law for the retire.
ment OF judges at a certain aye. the
exigsncies of the present situation are
such that the people will approve the
liberality of the General Assembly in
dealing with those who have 30 long
and ably filled the exalted positions
upon the bench to which they were
appointed. Any other course would
have been one of the greatest ingrati-
tude ard would have subjected the
State to harsh criticism.
The fear that they would be obsti-
nate and not retire was unnecessary.
for they both accept the proposition
without exhausting the time limit. if
teen days, and it is possible ere this
week is out, Gov. Reynolds may have
filled both places. A. P. Robinson. of
Georgetown, is the one generally CEN
tered upon for the Chief Justiceship.
Several names are talked of, as Messrs.
Lore. Marvel, Nicholson, Cooper, Sc,
for Associate Justice, and James Pen
newill, Republican, is also strongly
talked Of if he will accept it, Mr.. Bav-
ard and others urging that the Judi.
eiary should not be wholly Of one
party.

The Question of a New Root

AT this time of the year mauv are
looking for investments of savings or
money made idle by expiration of other
investments. Several questions ocme
up principally as to safety and emount
OF interest to be paid. Offers are made
from distant places of the most faLtst-
ing kind, especially the high rate of in
terest promised. Many are misled and
even though they exercise the most
careful scrutiny, are at times caught
mapping, and the result is either a total
loss or the putting in of more money
to save what is in jeopardy. AS a rule
the scheme that offers the highest in.
terest ls attended with the greatest
risk.
Then, again, MANY have been carried
away by pride of locality and have
placed their money in local enterprises
that have failed. But, as a rule. in
Vestments made at or near home are
more open to closer inspection than
.nose at distance. In fact, you can
Judge somewhat from the character
and standing of the men who are asso-
clated with any enterprise and in the
local affair you can consult with these
men; whose judgment you know to be
good and their careers honorable.
1t is in this shape that the Philadel-
phla and Smyrna Transportation Com
pany call on this community for sub
scriptlOns to a reissue of stock for the
purpose of building Il frst-cass iron
steamer, IN order that the COMPANY
may give better facilities to this town.
Inc men associated in this enterprise
are among the best in town and can be
seen at any time, besides being willing
to go and show parties desirous of in
vestne, that the business is not only
profitable but entirely safe. This does
not call for large sums, as it is desired
that the issue of stock should be in
small rather than large lots.
Such steamer would do much
toward increasing the facilities of COM
munlcatiOn between Smyrna and Phila-
delpbla, and the more attractions we
have, the greater the inducemeDt is for
people to settle here and build up our
town. AS we increase in size so does
all business receive its share of such
increase.
The matter should not be allowed to
remain dormant for it must be remem
bered that it will take some time to
have contract and other matters in
right form, and then about five months
Will be necessary to elapse before such
a steamer can be finished.
Full information can be had at the
Office of the Philadelphia and Smyrna
Transportation Company, or from any

fecker, A. l.. Hudson, Jas. p. Hof.

erating long time, we do not know

change. have kept some records.
though not regularly, only on days of
extreme heat or extreme cold IT is n
common thing to hear people assert
that they never felt such cold weather
before, and that they never knew n

mOnlze nor settle the question much

ters of 1855 and 1856, but the impres.
sion on my mind is that in the winter
OIL 90 there were between five and six
weeks that it did not thaw in the fair
sunshine, and that the winter OF 90
varied but little from the former. l
think 1t was one of those winters that
the Delaware at Philadelphia, was
crossed for quite while with teams.
lhere has not been so long period of
intense cold any winter since. The
winter that 'Sl came in, the thermom-
eter stood at l20 below zero in the

1t fell to 16 below, a degree of cold
which has not been reached at this

The Slelghing Over.

The climax of the long cold spell
which Sc in the week before Christ
mas, was reached last week. Saturday
was the first evidence of thaw setting
in, though the mercury fell that night
to near zero, some Thermometers mark
ing 1t below. The sleighing up to
Saturday night was gOod-an uninter-
rupted stretch of two and a half weeks
and the racing and the general car
nival that had prevailed so extensively
kept up till the last. 1t made the
streets lively, though general business
was at standstill It will long be
remembered by the young folks as the
winter of 't3-its crisp, dry weather.
and the splendid sleighing. Some
parties with fast horses from Middle-
town and Odessa. came down Monday
for a test of speed, but by the time for
the afternoon racing the snow had sof.
tened too much The last bell was
heard yesterday morning. Both YES.
terday aud Monday afternoon the
mercury got eight to ten degrees
above the freezing point, and the snow
melted freely ia the beaten track
though little impression has been made
yet upon the mass that covers the
earth.

The Quarantine Question

Both Senator Williams and Repre
sentative Hall tell our citizens that if
they do not want quarantine made of
Bombay Hook Island, they had better
be taking some action, for the indica.
ton is that a strong pressure will be
made on the Legislature to vest title in
land purchased for such purpose. The
sentiment of the people is generally
against what is usually termed 4 pest
house" so near US. If they do not want
it TO succeed, they must go before the
Legislature with strong protest.
As a proper method of procedure
1t is thought the Board of Town
Commissioners should take the
initiative. The matter was brought to
the attention of the Board Of Health at
their meeting last night, and after dis
cussing such an institution on our
shores, threat and a menace to the
safety and health of Kent county. a
committee was appointed to cooperate
If need be, with the Town Commission
ers. The President, DR.. Ashcraft. an
pointed John G. StOckly, DR.. e. s
Dwight and K. d. HOfecker, said com.
mittee. Whatever action is taken

They are two most worthy organiza-

guard the interests of helpless child

received dispatch en Saturday that
her son Ly a former marriage, Clar-
ence Smith, had died in San Antouio.
Texas, where he resides. The shock
was very great, as he was an only
child, in whom she felt a great deal of
pride, and had never entertained the
thought but what he would outlive
her. She determined at once to 20 TO
the afflicted family, wife and two chill
tdren, four days journey, and hoped
by telegraphing. to have Mr.. Carrow
join her in Chicago, having started.
when they separated, for a business
trip west. Both Mr.. Smith and his
wife were formerly of PHILADELPHIA
